Chapter 190 My Daughter Has Made Great Progress
Old Madam Lu is still dreaming here.
Little did she know that a few days later, the housekeeper would bring back news that would make her vomit blood.
And here in Yunbian Village.
Ye Xinran's facial soap workshop is progressing in an orderly manner.
Half a month later, the workshop was completed.
There are ten rooms in total.
One is a warehouse.
Used to store various raw materials and medicinal materials.
The eighth is a facial soap workshop.
There is also a room closest to the inside, which is the Snow Face Cream workshop.
The Snow Face Cream workshop has only one key and is not open to the public.
The other eight rooms, however, can be entered and exited freely.
The basic materials used for facial soap are lard and wood ash.
The first three rooms are used to make lard and burn wood ash.
The preparation of lard basically takes from morning to night.
The ash from burning wood can be used to make lye water.
The fourth room is used to boil alkaline water and filter it.
Once the lard and lye water are qualified, they will be moved to the fifth room for fusion processing.
This is the most complicated and important part of the entire processing process.
There has to be just the right ratio of lard and lye water, as well as a secret ingredient specially prepared by Ye Xinran.
In addition, spices need to be added during the fusion process.
Ye Xinran currently has three scents prepared: osmanthus, orange and woody.
After a period of time, adjustments can be made based on everyone's feedback.
After the boiling is completed, the liquid facial soap will be moved to the sixth room.
This room is used for molding.
The template that Ye Xinran asked someone to make has not been completed yet.
After the production is completed, pour the facial soap liquid into the mold and place it in the shade to dry.
The seventh room is where the finished facial soaps are packaged.
The common bath beads on the market usually do not have any packaging.
In order to improve the quality of her home, Ye Xinran asked a carpenter to make a wooden box of suitable size.
There is a pattern on the wooden box, and the name of the facial soap.
After packing is completed, the eighth room becomes the warehouse for storing facial soap.
Ye Xinran led everyone to each room one by one.
Each process is briefly introduced.
By the way, I also checked the configuration of various vendors.
“That’s basically the process I was talking about.
During the initial production period, we will need twenty people. If you are interested, please go to the village head to sign up, and he will help me to check!
When my business gets going, I may need more people to help me.”
"I regestrated!"
"Me, I'm signing up too!"
As soon as I heard that there was work to do, and that the work didn't look tiring.
Everyone, young and old, male or female, is interested.
The village head was there too.
Everyone surrounded him.
"Uncle Lizheng, you said before that you would consider the employment arrangement based on the usual performance. I have been performing well recently, so I should have a share this time!"
Villager Zhang Song said.
"And I!"
Dazhu also said, "I think it should be my turn this time!"
The head of the village took out a notebook from his pocket.
As he flipped through the pages, he said, "Don't worry. I've written down in my notebook who did a good job and who didn't!"
As soon as they saw the head of the village take out the notebook, everyone came forward.
"Am I up there?"
"Me?"
But after getting closer, everyone looked at each other and then stepped back.
It's not because of humility.
But it’s because none of them can read.
They couldn't understand any of the densely drawn things on the village head's notebook.
"Niece, how many women and men do you want among these twenty people?"
After reading the book, the village head asked Ye Xinran again.
Ye Xinran thought about it.
Chopping wood, splitting wood, boiling oil and filtering all require strong men.
But when it comes to lamination and packaging, women are more suitable.
"Then let's arrange fourteen men and six women first."
Ye Xinran said.
"Row!"
The head of the village looked at the notebook and called out the names of twenty people.
Among them are Dazhu and Zhang Song who were just asked.
Although those who were not selected were a little disappointed, they felt convinced when they looked at those who were selected.
They are indeed more capable than me.
And a lot of effort was put in when building the house before.
No one said anything, they could only hope that it would be their turn next time there was work to do.
Zhang Dashan and Erzhu are not on the list this time.
They both understood it.
The village head is doing this for the sake of fairness.
Over the past six months, they have earned several taels of silver from the Xiao family by growing herbs and building houses.
Now that there are jobs that can make money, the village head must give others some opportunities.
However, in the evening, Ye Xinran found Zhang Dali's house again.
"Sister-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."
Ye Xinran went straight to the point.
"What's going on!"
Chen was washing clothes. When she saw Ye Xinran come in, she quickly wiped her hands.
"Didn't you tell me last time that Taohua and Xiaohua went to study at the academy? How are they doing?"
Seeing Ye Xinran's concern about this, Chen felt a little embarrassed, "I just learned to recognize some words, but I dare not say how well I read."
"My facial soap workshop is about to open," Ye Xinran said, "I need two accountants in the warehouse. If Taohua and Xiaohua are willing, they can come and help me!"
"Oh, can they do it?"
Chen couldn't believe it.
"Isn't what they learned useful?"
"Just be able to read."
Ye Xinran said, "As for the rest, I can teach them slowly."
Ye Xinran thought about this matter over and over for a long time before making a decision.
After the things in the warehouse come in, they must be looked after by someone.
She doesn't have that much time herself.
Naturally, the same cannot be said for other people in the family.
She was worried about hiring someone from outside because she didn't know the person's background.
It just so happened that Mrs. Zhang had mentioned before that she would send her two children to study at the academy.
Nowadays, girls cannot take imperial examinations, and the best career option for graduates is to work as an accountant in a shop.
So Ye Xinran thought, why not just let the two of them come to her house to help.
She learned while doing, and she became familiar with the two children and felt relatively at ease.
Chen quickly agreed, "If you don't mind, I'll let them come over to help you tomorrow. You don't have to pay them, just let them learn some skills."
Ye Xinran smiled, "How can this be possible! One thing is one thing, they work for me, so I must pay them wages.
But it won't be much at the beginning, just 600 coins a month, just like other female workers.
When they become skilled and are really suitable for this job, I will raise their wages!"
"What? 600 coins?"
Chen thought she had heard it wrong and asked Ye Xinran for confirmation again.
"Did I hear correctly?"
"You heard that right!"
Ye Xinran nodded, "If your two daughters work hard, they can earn more in the future."
"Ok!"
Chen didn't know what to say. Her nose felt sore and two lines of tears flowed down.
