Chapter 280: Workshop Roof Capping Completed
The workshop and the few families who stayed behind were called over.
Originally, the Feng family was going to leave today, but after what happened with Zhao Yuanyuan, the whole family was in low spirits and didn't know whether they should leave or not.
Especially Feng, who was heartbroken by Zhao Yuanyuan. Until now, she still can't understand why her once well-behaved niece could be so stubborn.
"I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
Shen Yuan spoke.
He glanced at the crowd and found through spending these days with them that these people were indeed honest people and there was no one who was cunning or treacherous.
When everyone heard what the host said, they were actually a little panicked.
The workshop will be completed in three days at most, so the boss wants to let them go.
It was not yet the autumn harvest and the price of grain had not yet come down completely. Even though they earned some money from working, their lives were still difficult.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not chasing you away."
Su Wanwan noticed their nervousness and put herself in their shoes, thinking that it would be unwise to leave at this time.
Shen Yuan immediately followed suit:
"The workshop will open after the autumn harvest, and I am also planning to build another row of houses. You can stay and work, but if you want to stay, there are only two ways. You can choose."
Shen Yuan pointed it out directly and did not ask about their plans.
These people have no other relatives and do not have a strong desire to return home.
"The first option is that you sell your bodies to my Shen family at the price paid by the human traffickers. However, I will not tell anyone that you are selling your bodies. You can redeem the indentures at any time. You have been with us for so long, you must know who I am. As long as you work hard, I will never treat you unfairly."
"The second option is to sign a long-term employment contract with us. You can pay the rent for the current house yourself, and when the dormitory at the workshop is completed, you can move in for free.
However, even though you are free, you must not do anything that is detrimental to Daliushu Village, our Shen family, and our workshop. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay a high compensation fee. Of course, if you are not able to do the job well, we also have the right to terminate the employment relationship and drive you out of the village."
As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, everyone seemed to not believe their ears. Even Feng came back to her senses instantly and woke up from the sadness that Zhao Yuanyuan brought her.
Of these two options, the second one is obviously more suitable for them.
Su Wanwan always believed that no matter how good the employer was, who would be willing to be someone else's slave?
Therefore, she subconsciously still hopes to hire permanent workers in the future, and will talk about buying people later.
"One more thing. If you choose to be a long-term worker, the workshop will no longer provide food from three days on. You can buy it from the villagers or go to the town. The wages will be calculated based on the price of food. If you find it inconvenient to cook, the workshop will have a kitchen dedicated to cooking. The food is not expensive, but you will need to buy it yourself."
Shen Yuan had said it in advance. Since he had chosen a farmhand, everything would be handled according to the farmhand's rules.
Su Wanwan nodded, Shen Yuan was very thoughtful.
At this time, the farmhands would probably prefer a little more pay than having their food deducted.
After all, if you cook for yourself, the cost will be less. These families have families to support, so it is more cost-effective for them to cook for themselves.
As for the canteen, we took into consideration that we might hire some long-term workers from outside in the future, instead of working as a family unit, so it would be difficult for one person to cook.
Everyone couldn't believe that such good things could happen.
When you come to work, you will have a house to live in and a canteen where you can buy meals.
"Boss, I'll stay and I'll choose to be a long-term worker."
Lin Yi spoke first. He had no intention of leaving. Even if his boss had not mentioned this matter today, he still wanted to go find his boss.
In fact, he could choose to sell himself. He is alone and doesn't care about his identity. As long as he can work for his boss, it will be fine.
But since there is a choice, it is naturally better to be a long-term worker.
As soon as he asked this, several other families also expressed their desire to work as long-term workers.
This was expected, and Shen Yuan agreed immediately.
"You guys work hard, and when you make enough money, you can buy land and build a house in the village and settle down in Daliushu Village."
Shen Yuan's words were like a reassurance to them.
Su Wanwan knew that the household registration system of this era was not that strict and was also mobile. It was not difficult to settle down in Daliushu Village. As long as she had money to buy a house, she could go to the government to settle down.
Of course, you can also just buy a house and land without settling down there. It’s your own choice.
But it is a bit difficult not to settle down. After all, the head of a village is not very willing to let outsiders buy land, otherwise it will be difficult to manage.
When they heard that they could settle down there, everyone was excited and full of energy.
After Su Wanwan returned, she formulated several company systems to restrain the workers in accordance with the model of modern management companies.
It is basically about stipulating working hours and labor discipline at work.
The most important thing for a food factory is not to steal. To put it bluntly, it is a question of character. Of course, food hygiene is also very important, and there will be relevant regulations for this.
For something like yuba, the cooking temperature is different, as is the hand speed of the workers who make the yuba, so the output is difficult to determine.
It’s not that the amount of yuba that I can produce from one pound of soybeans is fixed. It’s normal for the amount to fluctuate, so it’s difficult to know if any of it has been stolen.
This is truly zero tolerance. If discovered once, the person will be fired immediately.
This is what is called professional ethics, which must be deeply rooted in people's hearts so that they know what to do and what not to do.
During working hours, this kind of thing has night shifts and works day and night, so you have to work in shifts.
It takes about ten hours from the time the soybeans are put into the yuba to the time it is put into the warm room to dry. There is also the subsequent packaging. The workmanship of each process is different, and the working hours are also different.
Su Wanwan needs to make a detailed plan and divide the departments.
The days suddenly became busy again, and Daliushu Village became peaceful without the scoundrel He Erzhu.
Three days later, the workshop was finally completed, including the stove, greenhouse, and large chimney.
Shen Yuan set off firecrackers early in the morning and everyone came to watch the fun.
Such a large workshop also shocked everyone's eyes.
Many villagers had only seen it from the outside and had never been inside. When they saw the four square stove, which was almost as big as a room, they were so surprised that they could not close their mouths.
"My god, there may not be such a large workshop in the capital."
"How many beans are needed for such a big stove? How many beans are needed to grind tofu?"
"This mill is so big, with five millstones. How much soy milk can it produce in a day?"
"With five mills, you have to buy five cows. Or you can buy a donkey."
........
Everyone was talking at once, and they seemed like people who had never seen the world.
Speaking of this, Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan had actually discussed it. She also looked for it, but couldn't find a simpler way to grind soy milk, so she could only use the oldest stone mill.
