Chapter 175 Encounter with Wei Jinyi
"After you have selected them, I will ask them to come over and show you the young master."
"Okay."
Manager Yu led the ten people he selected to Wei Ruo.
Manager Yu introduced: "The four here are the long-term workers who used to work in our village, and the six over there were selected from among the recent recruits. One of them has been an apprentice in a pharmacy." This is Wei
. If requested, those with experience as a pharmacy apprentice will be given priority.
Wei Ruo looked over one by one. They were all young men, strong, energetic, willing to endure hardships, and of good character. These were the selection criteria Wei Ruo gave to Manager Yu. The last one was not obvious yet, but the first one was These three points should all be consistent with these people.
Wei Ruo told a few people: "You can be selected to work here, and your salary will be increased by ten cents per month, plus a bucket of rice." "Thank you,
boss!"
Several people quickly thanked them.
In this year of grain shortage, many families have no food to eat, and many places that recruit workers have less wages. If they can get an extra ten cents and a bucket of rice a month, that is a great blessing to the poor families.
"But similarly, I will have higher requirements for you than for others. I believe Manager Yu has already told you that when you come to work in the workshop, you must abide by the rules and understand the importance. Things in your workshop need to be kept confidential. Never tell anyone, not even family members."
"Once you are found to have violated the rules, you will be fired immediately and will not be hired again."
Wei Ruo said the last sentence very harshly.
Several people nodded repeatedly and expressed that they would not betray their boss.
It is not easy to have a place to eat these days, especially for the few refugees who have just been admitted. They used to live a life of hunger and cold, with no fixed place to live, and their future was bleak. Now they not only have food to eat, but also They have a place to live and a salary to earn. Unless their brains are kicked by a donkey, they must seize this opportunity.
Then Wei Ruo arranged work for ten of them.
There are five houses, the first one is mainly used for grinding, grinding the delivered materials into powder, and these powders are the materials used to make five-spice powder. In addition to five-spice powder materials, Wei Ruo also asked them to grind some medicinal materials.
Not only because Wei Ruo needed to use these medicinal materials, but also to confuse the public.
Wei Ruo arranged three people in this room, just to do the grinding work. For the time being, Xu Zhushan will do the subsequent mixing work himself, because the relevant formula proportions are still in the hands of people he can trust.
The second room is mainly responsible for processing oysters, shelling and washing the purchased fresh oysters. Wei Ruo arranges two people in this room.
The third room is for cooking, which is used to boil the processed oysters into oil. The stove and large boiler that were prepared in advance are used for this. Wei Ruo arranged for two people in this room.
The fourth and fifth rooms are reserved for soy sauce production, and there is a large open space in front of the fifth room for drying soy sauce.
However, the production cycle of soy sauce is relatively long, so Wei Ruo did not agree on soy sauce when talking to Fan Chengxu, and only agreed to supply him with five-spice powder and oyster sauce.
Wei Ruo temporarily arranges three people for these two houses, and will consider adding more people after the operation is stable.
Wei Ruo likes to take things step by step and does not want to take too big a step all at once and bring unnecessary risks to himself.
Wei Ruo explained their work content to everyone, and when the explanation was completed, the first batch of raw materials was delivered. There are spices for making five-spice powder, some medicinal materials, and oysters and soybeans.
Then Wei Ruo let a few people start working, while he and Xiumei supervised and guided, and corrected any mistakes in time if they found them.
By the time everything was on track, it was getting dark.
Although he had been busy for a day, Wei Ruo felt refreshed.
Sure enough, for Wei Ruo, it is much less laborious to do what she likes than to quarrel with others in the house!
Leaving Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo decided to have a meal at Zuixianju.
Xiumei was a little worried: "Miss, why don't we go to Zuixianju?"
"Since we have to do business with them, it would be better to know more about them. What's more, we can't catch up with dinner now when we return to Xiaowei Mansion, so why not stay out? Eat a little, and you will be dressed appropriately for today." Wei Ruodao.
"Miss, I'm always worried that we will be recognized! Last time we went to Zuixianju for revenge, there was nothing we could do about it. Today we are our own people in Zhuangzi anyway. It's okay to say that we were discovered, but I'm really worried about going to Zuixianju now."
Xiumei was a little worried.
"If I was really discovered, it would probably be just a matter of damage to my reputation and difficulty in getting married. It's not a big deal. I didn't want to marry a good family, so what should I be afraid of? As long as I don't hang myself with a piece of white silk. , I have nothing to worry about." Wei Ruo said calmly.
Although it is unpleasant to spread the news that a lady disguised herself as a man and went to a restaurant to eat, it is not a fatal matter. Wei Ruo can still afford the consequences.
"Okay, but I still have to protect you and won't let you be discovered easily!" Xiumei said firmly.
Although the young lady has the young lady's plan, she still hopes that other possibilities will arise by then, and the young lady does not have to actually marry a dead person and become a widow.
What's more, isn't there Brother Xiaoyong? If brother Xiaoyong really succeeds, then the lady will have a backer in the future!
When they arrived at Zuixianju, Wei wanted to ask for a private room on the second floor. When he was about to enter, he saw Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang coming out of the next room.
Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang are here, does it mean that the second brother is also here?
With some curiosity, Wei Ruo walked to the door of the next box and was about to take a peek at the situation in the room. Suddenly a hand stretched out from the room and pulled her in.
Seeing this, Xiumei quickly stepped forward and pushed away the person who was dragging Wei Ruo, and then protected Wei Ruo.
But after taking a closer look, the room was full of acquaintances. They had already greeted Wei Ruo when they were at the house in the alley that day.
Wei Jinyi himself was also in the room, sitting opposite the door.
Xiumei originally planned to fight, but when she saw this situation, her fists relaxed, and then she turned to look at Wei Ruo.
"What are you two sneaking around at the door of the room?" Zhang Yi, who dragged Wei Ruo in, looked at Wei Ruo and Xiumei very warily.
Today, the two of them were dressed in men's clothes, looking ugly and a bit strange.
Of course, Wei Ruo knew that the other party did not recognize him. After thinking for a moment, he put on a smile and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I was just passing by. I didn't mean anything else." "I didn't mean anything else.
" Why are you so close?" Zhang Yi was not easily convinced.
