296. South girl
This time, Luo Erniang not only brought a lot of money back, but also brought more than a dozen employees trained by her cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City.
These people now live in the best hotel in Changle County. They also eat at the restaurants and restaurants in the city. Changle County is only so big in total. They have been to the shops they can go to for a few days.
Recently, there are few Hu merchants in Changle County. Most of the businesses in these restaurants are relatively light. At this time, if there are such a group of customers, they come to check in every few days, so these stores are naturally very welcome.
Moreover, the women brought by Luo Erniang are not only dressed in decent clothes, but also very kind. They never look like some customers. They always call the shop guys and treat people very politely.
I heard that Luo Erniang would settle the settlement regularly at the guesthouse where they currently live. In addition, each person also subsidizes them with ten cents of food every day. The money is now distributed to them. If you can't finish it, you can collect it yourself. If you can't eat enough, you have to pay for it.
Most of these old ladies are willing to eat and use them. They are busy all day long after the cashmere workshop opens. Even if they want to go out for a tooth sacrifice, they will not have the time to do it.
Someone asked about their wages, and one of the young ladies replied, "It's almost the same as those servants." After asking more questions, he refused to say anything else.
But even so, there was still a stir in the county town. A woman could earn 300 cents in a month, which was something that everyone had never seen before, except for those brothel women who were not good at doing business.
"If my aunt can be like them one day, I will be at ease even if I die."
"That's really a success."
"I hate that I had been born a few years ago, and now my slap is rough and thick, so I'm afraid I can't do that fine job."
"That may not be true. Look at them, there are also people of us who are about the same age as us."
"Hey, I don't want to knit sweaters anymore. It's good to learn to spin wool. I sit in that clean workshop all day long, with hot kangs and hot water, and I also take care of three meals a day. If I have a good hand and footsteps, I can earn more than fifty cents a month."
"Who did you listen to this?"
"It's those wives who came from Liangzhou."
"really?"
“…”
Luo Erniang and the others are recruiting stalls in the county government office. They are one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon every day, and they are not very picky about those who go to sign up.
Generally, as long as young women who look younger and more elegant, they are willing to accept them. If they are older, they will ask about their family situation. If it is inconvenient to live in the workshop, they may not want it.
Luo Erniang has run a cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City for such a long time, and she has never truly eliminated the stolen cashmere.
Relatively speaking, letting all workers live in dormitories without frequent entry and exit is also a relatively simple and effective method. Although this will increase operating costs to a certain extent, it can also bring other management conveniences.
This time, Luo Yong spent a lot of effort on Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop. The siblings and brothers sat together, and they often said that they would take half a day.
Before this workshop opened, there were also a lot of preparations to be done, including workshops, workhouses, canteens, and a large number of spinning wheels. Every day, a large amount of money is spent on it.
When the snow was falling in the beginning of this year, the cashmere workshop finally started construction.
The female workers carried their bedding bags and walked towards the cashmere workshop in groups of three or five among the rising snowflakes.
Because the cashmere workshop requires workers to live in the workshop, most of the people who are recruited this time are young and unmarried women, only a few older ones.
The location of this cashmere workshop is also in the city, but the northwest part of the city used to be desolate, with no one coming, and it is a little distance from the city gate and the main streets in the city.
Nowadays, many workshops have been built here, and many places have not been completed. You can often see some workers pushing trucks of dirt on the road.
On this cold day, working on the construction site for a whole day in the wind and snow can only get three cents. If they can be selected by this cashmere workshop and learn to knit sweaters, they will have seventy cents a month, which will control food and accommodation, clothes for the four seasons, and bonuses. In fact, they will earn more than these hard-working young and strong people. But in the end, they don’t know who will be selected. Many people are holding up their energy at this time and have made up their minds. No matter how hard or tired they are, they must grit their teeth and endure it.
Most of the girls heard these words at home in the past two days. They came with the determination to endure hardships and never thought that when they arrived at the cashmere workshop, they stepped into the door and greeted them first was a warm feeling that came to their faces.
It turned out that early this morning, Luo Erniang was in order to leave a good impression on these new ladies and to make this cashmere workshop prosperous and prosperous. So early in the morning, she asked someone to burn all the kangs in the workshop, making the entire factory courtyard warm everywhere.
In addition to some workers who pick cashmere and spun wool sweaters, there are also some under the kitchen and cleaning staff, and they also hire some neat and neat women.
The wages are pretty good. Even those who wash vegetables can cost fifty cents a month. Those who hold the spoon are naturally higher. They also provide three meals a day and accommodation, but they do not require them to live in workshops. After work every day, they go back, so they want to go back. Although they are not as clean and decent as those who spin and weave clothes, there are many women in the city who want to do this job.
The floor, kang and walls in this cashmere workshop are covered with cement, and they are clean, spacious and bright, and neatly crafted.
These young ladies who work in the workplace have a dormitory for every ten people. The dormitory is a house with three sides of the kang. There is no bedding provided on the kang, but straw mats are only laid. Each straw mat corresponds to a bunk. Each bunk is located against the wall, and there is also a wooden box for them to place clothes and personal belongings. There is a stove in each room, and a pottery pot is placed on it, and hot water is burned in the pottery pot...
Those women under the kitchen and cleaning were envious of these young ladies.
"This is not here to work, it is clearly here to enjoy happiness."
"No, I eat ready-made meals for three meals a day, and someone helps to burn the kang and sweep the yard."
"It's a pity that I don't have a single girl in my house."
"Haha, my family is still a little younger now. When she gets older, I'll ask her to come here too."
"You said that the transaction of cashmere sweaters is so easy to make money, and it can support such a pomp?"
"Of course it's easy to make money. I heard that Na Luo Erniang bought most of the real estate in Liangzhou City."
"It should be easy to make money now, and who can know what will happen in the future."
"I hope it will keep making money. With this cashmere workshop in Changle County, the girls here have a good way out."
"It's not me that if I give birth to a boy in the future, some people will be unhappy."
"Hahaha!"
This is not entirely a joke. I heard that in the cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, there are hundreds of girls who have learned to knit sweaters. I don’t think there are too few people in Changle County. Once they are selected, they will cost at least seventy cents a month. If they can go further, they will be like those female managers, tsk...
Nowadays, many people are thinking about this. If there is a girl at home, they still have a little thought. If there is no girl, there is no need to think about it.
Recently, Luo Erniang and the others have been recruiting people. Sometimes, there are people from surrounding towns, even from Jinchang, Dunhuang and other places to come to them with their daughters.
Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop is quite large. Although it has recruited many people, many of the shops in the workshop are empty. With Luo Yong's relationship, their cashmere procurement work has been progressing quite smoothly recently, so they are more comfortable when collecting people.
On this day, several farmers brought their daughters to the cashmere workshop, saying that they wanted to work here.
A female manager in the workshop went out to greet her. Seeing that the girls who came back were generally pretty good, they were about to ask them to stay. When they saw that there was a little girl there, she seemed to be a little too young.
"I wonder how old is this young lady?" The manager asked the adult standing beside her.
Unexpectedly, the adult said, "She is not from our village. She just met us on the road, so she came together."
"Where is her master?" the manager asked.
"I don't know." No one here knew.
"Whose child are you? Where are you living?" the manager asked the child.
"From the Wang family in Shitou Village." The child replied in a low voice.
When the manager heard her talk, he felt something was wrong. But a farmer present was so shocked that he was about to jump up: "The daughter of the Wang family in Shitou Village is only six years old this year. I know her. The manager is not the daughter of the Wang family in Shitou Village."
The farmer was very frightened and almost pointed at the child's nose and scolded loudly: Where did you come from? You actually pretend to be the daughter of the Wang family!
The female manager of this cashmere workshop is already a little older and has seen some people on the market. At this time, she only saw her holding the child's arm with one hand and the other...
"Haha! It turns out he is a handler!"
"oops!"
The child screamed and was about to run away with his arms swinging. However, this manager had done physical work in the past and had a lot of strength on his body, so how could he get rid of it easily?
The movement here soon attracted the attention of several workers transporting soil on the road. Someone walked closer to this side and immediately revealed the identity of the boy dressed in a woman.
"Isn't this the boy from the Nan family?"
"How do you dress like this?"
"What are you going to do? Do you want to enter a cashmere workshop?"
"Hahahaha! I'm afraid this dress belongs to his mother! It's too long!"
"Why haven't you coaxed five pairs to carry tofu for you recently?"
"I'm afraid the five couples are unwilling to go, hahahaha!"
"Don't say, I'm dressing quite like it."
