Speaking of which, in this era, the population is based on households. Those wealthy families with prosperous individuals are enviable. The so-called brothers fighting tigers and fathers and sons are in war, and ordinary people dare not bully them.
These big families, especially relatively wealthy families, always make a lot of money when they come out to buy. Ordinary small families buy salt by pound, and they buy salt by pound, which is very enviable.
However, in Changle County, there is no big family that is more "big" than Luo Erniang. The grapes from Gaochang are so expensive. She can buy them for two tuitions.
The two slabs of grapes were divided into one slab, and he gave half of them to his disciples. The other half was divided into the county government, and he and Qiao Junlin only left two or three strings.
The little boys in the county government were so happy that they were just like a holiday. They shared a few grapes each, held them in their hands and ate them carefully, with relish, and even the grape skins were reluctant to vomit.
Although Changle County is not too far from Gaochang, there are few people growing grapes in the local area at this time. Even if there are a few plants planted in the yard of the wealthy family, they may not be able to grow well. They are specially planted and sold, and there is no such thing as this.
Luo Yong thought, after a few years, sweet potatoes will be promoted locally, and the most basic food rations will be guaranteed. In addition, their consumption capacity is relatively good, and there is market demand in this regard, someone will start growing grapes and selling them, but I don’t know if he is still in Changle County at that time.
Those children who eat grapes don’t know so much, but they just think that the grapes from Gaochang are really delicious! They still want to eat them after eating them!
It’s a pity that each of them can only share a few, and after eating, it’s gone. It’s such a great regret.
After eating these grapes, I couldn't forget the grape flavor for several days. I thought about it day and night, and some of them were forced to soak with my own adults, but they failed.
However, the adults also told them that after the autumn begins, the merchants in Gaochang will come to sell raisins, and then they will buy them, saying that the raisins are also delicious. So these children hope that life will be faster and autumn begins sooner, and the merchants in Gaochang come to sell raisins soon.
Nowadays, there are many people in Changle County who are looking forward to eating raisins. Not only these children in the city, but many women and women are also looking forward to it.
People these days have no snacks to eat, and sweets are even rarer. The raisins are very attractive to many local people.
However, this is just after the wooden track is opened. If it were changed to the past, the price of raisins was so expensive that ordinary people would not dare to think about it.
By the way, once you have hope in your heart, your life will be more enjoyable. I heard that you can eat raisins this autumn, and the young ladies in the cashmere workshop are very energetic to work.
As the autumn harvest season for white-rolled flowers is about to enter, the cashmere workshop has also begun preparations for the weaving workshop before the start of construction.
Luo Erniang is currently in charge of these preparations, and she has also made it clear to the managers below that she plans to hand over this weaving workshop to Peng Er. Moreover, this year's weaving workshop will not be held in the cashmere workshop, but will be opened outside, so that all the managers can do their jobs in the female workers under their own hands. If you want to go to the weaving workshop, you should propose it as soon as possible.
When I heard that this weaving workshop was to be managed by Peng Er, there were some managers who were originally secretly looking forward to in my heart. At this time, it was inevitable that they would be disappointed, and it was not unacceptable. After all, Peng Er followed Luo Erniang for a longer time than them.
Besides, once this weaving workshop is divided from the cashmere workshop, many things have to be started from scratch. It is not easy to operate. If it is not done well, the responsibility will be heavy.
As for the young ladies who work below, some of them are getting older and getting married. They do work as knitting sweaters. In order to keep the technology confidential, they can't even make cashmere workshops a few times a year. It's not a long-term solution.
But they are reluctant to leave the workshop and go home to get married now, and they are not at ease with the cashmere workshop. If these new tricks developed in the workshop in recent years are spread, it will be a great loss for the cashmere workshop.
So Luo Erniang planned to move them to the weaving workshop and continue to pay them a relatively high salary, and even train them as managers.
The weaving workshop is relatively free and can go home frequently, which does not hinder the marriage.
For those young ladies who are at the age of marriage and have plans for this, this should be a very good way out.
However, there are not many people who are moved by the cashmere workshop. Many people are unwilling to leave this old workshop with good business and good welfare benefits, and go to a new workshop with uncertainty in life and death.
The textile of white stacked cloth is no different from linen. I heard that people are working on this kind of white stacked cloth workshop in many places in Dunhuang and Jinchang. Unlike this cashmere workshop, it is unique. Although some people work on cashmere workshops in other places, they are not as large or variety as their workshops.
The white cloth workshop is different. I heard that the people who are going to open the workshop this time are either the local merchants and wealthy families or some big families from the Central Plains. Luo Erniang’s weaving workshop may not have great advantages compared to them.
Whether to go to the weaving workshop or not depends entirely on personal wishes. When Luo Erniang makes this new workshop, he will definitely have to hire some more people this time.
There are also some women in the city who plan to work in this weaving workshop, and there is also the vendor who has set up stalls and sold melons at the city gate. In the past two days, they have also inquired with several managers who went to his cashmere workshop to buy melons. His wife is also good at working, but she is thick in her hands and doesn't know the meticulous work. I wonder if the newly opened weaving workshop can have such a person?
"Just just call her over, not everyone in the weaving workshop needs to weave cloth, and there are also those that are stripped of velvet."
"If you are a person who knows how to count, you can also control the parts."
"How could she know that?" The melon-selling Yiwu waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm so stupid, I'm afraid that your workshop will not accept it."
"As long as you are a down-to-earth person, you don't have to worry about anything. This time, this new workshop will be opened, and someone will have to do the work of washing vegetables. She always does it?" These managers have money and come to buy a piece of melon from time to time, which is also familiar to Yiwu, who sells melons.
"She can do these things at home, right?" The man Yiwu rubbed his hands.
"Then you call her here earlier. Although she is a rough job, she has a lot of wages and is not bad at eating. She also cares about clothes all seasons. They have them all, and there are many people who are willing to do it."
"There are other people asking in the past two days."
"There is also the work of removing velvets and spinning, which requires a lot of staff. If there are suitable women and ladies in your hometown, you can also ask them to come together."
"You have seen what our cashmere workshop looks like. If my wife doesn't say anything else, she will never treat us those who work with her."
"I saw it and asked you."
This time, the weaving workshop is next to the cashmere workshop. Luo Erniang made people build houses there early in the morning. Many people in the workshop thought that they would be like last time. At that time, the houses would be built, and the surroundings would be surrounded by walls, and the walls between the original cashmere workshop and this new area were opened up, and it would be included in the cashmere workshop.
As a result, they all knew that there was a weaving workshop there, and they were separated from the cashmere workshop here. In the past two days, people have begun to be recruited. Every day, women can hear the sound of women talking and walking around.
A few days later, a group of more than a dozen women got off wooden rail carriages outside Changle County. They stood at the crowded station and didn't know where to go. When they looked up, they saw the tall city walls. The walls were smooth and hard, tall and met, which made people dizzy.
"Or, let's go to the city first."
“There is no way to get in.”
"Don't arrest us..."
"Ouch! Don't talk nonsense."
These women were the daughter-in-law of the Yiwu man who set up a stall to sell melons in Changle County. The Yiwu man brought someone back and told them to come quickly if they wanted to work in the past two days and come with the Yiwu man who transported melons. He had already greeted them and would take care of them on the way.
Then her wife, a sister-in-law, a sister-in-law, and a sister-in-law, and several neighbors in her mother-in-law's house, packed up her bags and followed the locals who transported melons.
As a result, those who transported melons only arrived in Jinchang this time and hired a wooden carriage from Changle County, took them into the carriage, and told them to the soldiers guarding the city that they were here to work in a cloth workshop, and then reported the name of the Yiwu who sold melons in the city, so that they could let them in.
"Can we really let in?"
"Don't take us as a meticulous act." These women who had never traveled far away were very worried at the time.
"How is that possible?" the other party said:
"There are so many vegetables coming and going in and out of the city every day. You think they have road guides, and those peddlers carrying loads. If there is a road guide, you just have peace of mind. There are no random arrests in Changle County."
As he said that, these women were still worried and were swaying and did not dare to go to the direction of the city gate.
After a while, a team of patrol officers passed by the station and saw that the group of women who were obviously from other places were standing here with a little at a loss, so they came over and asked.
"We are here to work in the weaving workshop, and my husband set up a stall to sell melons in this city." Although the wife of the Yiwu man was timid, the voice of replying was full of energy.
"Oh, I heard him say it." The team leader smiled and said, "Then you go into the city early, why are you doing here standing?"
When the woman heard this, she knew that the other party knew her own man and saw that he was kind, so she boldly asked him: "We have no way to guide us, can the city gate let us in?"
"Can you get in." The servant said to them: "Recently, the weaving workshops in the city are recruiting workers, and many women like you come to the city every day."
After hearing this, the women and ladies felt much more at ease. The patrol team quickly left, and the few of them walked towards the city gate themselves.
As we were walking, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. Looking up, six or seven people were riding horses towards the direction of the city gate.
When they got closer, the sharp-eyed man discovered that the horses were not sitting on them, but a few women in men's clothing. The oldest one was about forty, and the youngest one was only in their early twenties.
These people got off the horse near the gate of the city, led the horses to the gate, and showed their way to the officers and soldiers guarding the city. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were all smiling and chatting with them for a few words. Not only did they have no intention of being frivolous, they also looked quite respectful.
After their group entered the city and walked away, the Yiwu women who were standing there came to their senses and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.
As a woman, the other party's demeanor and confidence formed by the other party, and their own cringe and cowardice, was so sharp that it made people ashamed, but they couldn't help but yearn for it secretly.
Especially the one who leads, with a straight figure and the most extraordinary temperament. As a woman, how can she live like her? She probably has to be born.
However, they could never imagine that at this moment, a person who made them so envious and admired was taken to the street like a livestock to display and sell it ten years ago.
