Chapter 360 Days Get Better
Chapter 360 Days Get Better
The workshop has started paying workers!
Everyone rushed to the finance office to collect their wages, only to find that they received much more than twenty cents a day.
The minimum is thirty wen a day, which is nine hundred wen a month, close to one tael of silver. They don't know the maximum, but they guess it must be a lot.
Of course the one who got the most was Shen Hua. Although he was still away from home, his salary had been calculated and put aside for the time being.
In addition to the basic salary, Shen Hua also receives commission, and his commission has been included in the cost.
It was nearly ten taels of silver. Not to mention in a small village, even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, or even in the capital, there was no such high wage.
In any case, the workers in the workshop were all very happy today. After receiving the silver, they immediately planned to go buy some meat and go home to celebrate.
Especially the bonus in addition to the normal salary is simply a pleasant surprise.
The workers in several logistics departments received higher salaries, nearly two taels of silver each. Li Yulin happily called her husband and went directly to the headman's house.
I want to buy back the old house.
Now both husband and wife work in the workshop, and together they earn three taels of silver a month, something they never dared to think about before.
Moreover, the work was not hard. Li Yulin didn't even have to do any strenuous work. He Dazhu worked in the mill, grinding soy milk, and only worked half a day.
After buying the house, the couple did not plan to move back immediately because the literacy class had started and Li Yulin had been very enthusiastic about learning recently.
She saw that so many things needed to be recorded, but she couldn't write, so she felt that she might be replaced at any time. In order to keep this job, she had to learn to write.
Not only she has to learn, but her son Tie Niu also has to learn.
The school will not be completed until next year, so it’s a good idea to let Tieniu learn to read with her now.
He Dazhui had no intention of studying, as he was just a soy milk grinder. However, he was extremely supportive of his wife and children's studies. He himself did not study, but focused on ensuring logistics. All the chores of washing clothes and cooking at home became his.
He didn't think it was a big deal. His wife earned more than him now. Since he earned less, it was only natural for her to do these things.
The days are getting better day by day.
Su Wanwan also stayed up very late today. After all the wages were paid, she revised the report according to the actual wages paid and increased the bonus to the cost on the income statement. Only then was the work truly completed.
When everything was done, Su Wanwan saw several families from the village coming to fetch water for washing the pots, and they all greeted her warmly.
The piglets enjoyed the food with the pot-washing water very much. Besides, the pot-washing water was free and the bean dregs were very cheap too.
The piglets raised at home are all plump and pleasing to the eye.
Among them is He Xiliang.
When He Xiliang saw her, he greeted her shyly and left with two buckets of pot-washing water.
This boy, who was once spoiled by his family, has become quieter but more capable since breaking up with Zhao Yuanyuan.
After He Yinghong went to the headman's house with Su Wanwan that day, she went back and discussed with her family about buying and raising pigs. Her family owned a soy sauce shop, and her parents didn't want to raise pigs at first, but her third brother suddenly became interested and supported the family in raising pigs.
The old couple are naturally happy that their son is now capable, and when they hear that he is willing to do it, they also support him.
So the family simply built a pigpen and bought six piglets.
I thought the kids were just curious about the pig, and when the novelty wore off, they might just give the pig to the old couple to raise. I didn't expect that the brother and sister had raised the pig for such a long time, and they were becoming more and more interested in it.
The two elders of the He family were also very pleased.
The only sad thing is their marriage.
The young scholar who had met her before actually liked Dahong, but unfortunately, Dahong didn't like her and declined her proposal.
Who knew that the child had set his eyes on Dahong? She asked matchmakers several times to tell Dahong's mother Liu Rong that she also liked the scholar, but her daughter refused to give in. Liu Rong was not the kind of mother who would ignore her daughter's wishes, so the situation remained deadlocked.
Su Wanwan thought about Dahong. That girl often came to complain to her, and she felt that the girl must have someone she liked, but the person she liked was a blockhead and had no sense at all.
Otherwise, why would that girl come to the workshop for no reason? It must be to meet someone.
Just then someone was getting off work, and Su Wanwan called him.
"Shen Su, recently there have been many matchmakers coming to Dahong's house to propose marriages, did you know that?"
Shen Su looked confused and nodded, not knowing why his sister-in-law suddenly said this to him.
"I know. That girl is not young anymore. It's time to meet her."
Su Wanwan:......
Well, this is probably meaningless for others to become famous.
Forget it, she had no intention of being a matchmaker.
Shen Su was puzzled. He didn't know why his sister-in-law wanted to tell him about Dahong. That girl was very annoying. She always came to see him when he was at work, which made him so angry that he chased her out every time.
What does Nizi's relationship have to do with him? Is there something wrong?
He went back to ask. He grew up with Dahong and in his heart she was no different from his own sister. If she was bullied, he would never stand idly by.
Su Wanwan didn't want to care about these things, so she let him go. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Liu Qiu Shui coming over with her daughter in her arms.
"Sister-in-law, I thought you had gone home, but I didn't see you when I got home."
The girl from Liu Qiu Shui's family is already seven or eight months old, which is the cutest time. When Su Wanwan saw her chubby little face, she couldn't help but pinch it.
After pinching it twice, he asked Liu Qiu Shui.
"How did you come?"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Liu Qiu Shui followed her out.
"I'm here to tell my sister-in-law that our furniture workshop has been completed. My father wants us to go there tomorrow."
After several months of sales promotion, especially Lin Wenyue's publicity, Liu's furniture has now become popular even in the government office.
Uncle Liu has superb craftsmanship and unique styles, so his wardrobes have immediately won the hearts of all the ladies and young ladies, and many people from other places come to him for custom orders.
Although other carpenters later made cabinets in the style of the upright cabinet and sold them, their workmanship was not as good as Uncle Liu's.
Moreover, the patterns on Uncle Liu's furniture are beautiful and the carvings are exquisite. He and Feng Gang also listened to Su Wanwan and made a logo engraved on the furniture. It was a Chinese character "柳" that looked like a willow branch, which was like a trademark.
Many people have gradually discovered that Liu's cabinets and boxes are of much better quality than other imitations. Although they are a bit more expensive, the quality is good. It is also very prestigious to say that they are Liu's furniture and that they were made by the same person as the one used by the daughter of the prefect.
This is what is called the brand effect.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, Uncle Liu's small yard was no longer enough, so after discussing with Shen Yuan, the family decided to go to the county town to start a business.
After all, according to Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan’s idea, Liu’s furniture is to be sold all over the country!
