Chapter 337 Workshop Arrangements

As soon as Shen Yuan finished reading, everyone rushed forward and wanted to sign up, fearing that they would miss out if they were a step late.

If the yuba workshop is divided into two shifts, each shift needs ten people, which is twenty people. The drying workshop needs five people, which means ten people in two shifts. The mill needs ten people in total.

There are already forty people here, plus ten more people are needed for packaging and loading and unloading, so at least fifty people are needed.

Excluding those bought at home and those who stayed behind including Lin Yi, another 30 people will be recruited.

Some people in the village have been recruited by the Agriculture Bureau to open up wasteland and prepare for growing seedlings and vegetables. Those who did not go to grow vegetables have now come to sign up as the busy farming season is over.

But Shen Yuan didn't let them register directly. Only those between the ages of 16 and 50 could register, which eliminated some people.

Then, based on the work required by each position, most of the workers in the tofu skin workshop are female, all of whom are women around 30 years old.

The drying boiler workshop employs men, and of course the mill also employs men.

These are all physical jobs, so we must find people with good physical fitness. Shen Yuan simply asked them to stand in the sun and do horse stance, and then eliminated some of them.

Then a few people who could read and do math were left behind. These people were not required to do labor, so they were assigned to the logistics management department to do some work first.

Hearing that these people don’t have to go to the workshop and are all young people, many people are envious and only regret that their own children cannot read and write.

In addition, there is also a workshop for making dried tofu. The work there is simple and requires the support of the yuba workshop, so ten more people were hired.

After working hard for a whole morning, I finally got the people signed.

I haven’t used it for a while and I don’t know if it’s suitable or not, but Shen Yuan also said that there is a two-month trial period and if the workmanship is not up to standard, I can replace it at any time.

Zhang Cuihua and Shen Songqing were also busy for the whole morning. At the mill, their aunt Shen Xinru and Ping'er were looking after it.

"Wanwan, Shen Yuan, look at all the people here, it's too chaotic, let your eldest brother and second brother come over to help you."

Zhang Cuihua became worried when she saw such a large workshop with so many people.

It's okay for the people from this village, as we know them well, but there are so many people from other villages, and we don't know them well. What if some of them are dishonest? Wouldn't that cause trouble?

"No need, auntie, my second brother will manage the mill. Oh, and we also need to make sweet potato vermicelli. I have already drawn the blueprints. You guys are short of manpower."

"And my eldest brother, he has to run around to buy goods for the braised meat business, and you guys can't handle it, so just let Aunt Ping and her family come over here, and I'll assign them tasks."

Su Wanwan refused.

My uncle's family's business is getting better and better. If they make sweet potato vermicelli too, they will be too busy to handle it.

"That's fine. We're all in the village anyway. I'll ask your eldest and second brothers to come over and keep an eye on things when they're not busy. There must be no trouble."

Shen Songqing nodded and said nothing more.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yuan had a plan in mind, so they didn't interfere and just followed instructions.

What's more, he thought the people he recruited were all good, and with Lin Yi and the purchased servants watching over them, he believed that Shen Yuan's abilities would not cause any trouble.

In fact, when he saw those rules and regulations, as well as today's recruitment process, which was so orderly, he knew that the two men were capable and everyone respected them, so they would naturally not do anything weird.

Shen Yuan asked these people to report in tomorrow. Those who need to live in the dormitory should go to Li Yulin to register and let her assign them.

Li Yulin was nervous at first, but she got the hang of it. She would chat with every person who came to ask to live in the dormitory. After the dormitories were assigned, she knew almost all of their situations, even their family situations.

In the afternoon, the couple called a meeting with Shen Su and several other managers.

In the dormitory, Su Wanwan specially reserved a few rooms and put tables, chairs and benches in them to be used as offices.

Based on the registration information, the group discussed the types of work these people would do.

Among the ten people working in the mills, five of them knew how to grind tofu and were considered experienced. One of them was from the village, so he was put in charge of the team.

All the people who made the yuba were women, including Feng Xiaorou's mother, Aunt Feng. There were twenty women in total.

Depending on the actual situation, let them choose whether to work in the morning or in the afternoon tomorrow.

Su Wanwan appointed a scholar from the neighboring village to assist Li Yulin in managing trivial matters, and his main task was to keep records.

For example, these personnel lists were all recorded by Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang was nearly fifty years old. He had been a teacher in a private school in the county for several years. He was a rather old-fashioned person and offended other teachers in the same profession. He was expelled and returned to the village.

He has no job to do on weekdays. He is getting older and older. As a scholar, he has to take exams every year. He has not passed the exams in recent years. He is not as capable as other farmers in the village and lives worse than ordinary peasants.

Although he failed the annual assessment, his character was fine and he could read, so Su Wanwan decisively kept him, at least to keep a record.

For logistics management personnel, she prefers to use literate people. There is no other way now, so Li Yulin and others are used temporarily. More people will be recruited later. The position of director must be filled by literate people, and Li Yulin and others can be used as errand runners.

Everything is ready. Tomorrow Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan will send Shen Zhao to take the exam and do some shopping. So they told Shen Su, Li Yulin and others to make arrangements when their people arrive tomorrow.

Li Yulin was responsible for arranging them to the dormitory and distributing bedding and utensils.

Shen Su and Lin Yi were responsible for leading everyone to clean the place thoroughly first, and then soak the beans when it was getting dark in the afternoon.

By the time all these things were arranged, it was already dark, and it was then that Lord Zhao and Meng Qian arrived.

Zhao Qinghai has been busy leading people to reclaim wasteland and grow vegetables recently, and has not taken care of things outside for a long time. Meng Qian has also stayed here recently and cannot be driven away. He paints this and that in the village every day, which is very jealous.

I haven't seen these two people for a long time. When Su Wanwan saw them, especially Meng Qian, her eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten about these people?

You're still looking for a scholar, isn't Mr. Meng a ready-made one?

He seemed quite bored. Every day he was either painting or on his way to paint. He also disturbed Lord Zhao from working every day.

"Mr. Meng!"

Su Wanwan thought about this and decided to find some work for Mr. Meng.

Even if he is not in the workshop, we cannot waste this talent. We can set up a literacy class and a private school and let all the children come to attend classes. That would be a great thing.

When Meng Qian saw her expression, he felt that something was wrong.

He was still looking at the rules and regulations posted at the door, but he simply stopped reading and was about to leave immediately.

"Mr. Meng, our canteen made corn steamed bread and fried vegetables and tofu today. Would you like to have some together?"

It was a busy day today, so Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan had originally planned to eat in the cafeteria. Aunt Liu’s cooking was pretty delicious.

"Okay, okay, I'll come and have a meal too. I like corn steamed bread the most."

Before Meng Qian agreed, Zhao Qinghai looked very happy. He came at the right time today and made it in time for dinner.
