The corners of Long Yuan's mouth twitched. This little guy really can talk about everything.

At this time, several little guys outside the door came back together.

When Su Mingxuan saw his sister eating something on the table, he smelled the delicious food and came to the table.

He was staring at his little sister with such eager eyes. Su Muyao couldn't help but find it funny when she saw his expression that seemed to make him drool.

"You little greedy cat, I've prepared everything for you."

As he spoke, he opened several boxes of hot pot beside him, including tripe flavor, meatball flavor, and beef flavor.

After opening them, Long Yuan discovered that these things seemed to be raw, and they were things he had never seen before.

I couldn't help but become interested, and saw Su Muyao add some water into it.

After it was covered for a while, hot smoke came out.

Now everyone was shocked. "Sister, are you a fairy?"

Su Muyao scratched her brother's nose and said, "I also want to be a fairy, but unfortunately I'm not one."

Su Mingxuan looked puzzled and continued to ask, "Sister, you didn't even use firewood to heat the water, so why is there smoke?"

“This is a long story…

It’s just like this, it’s not a magic trick, you will understand when you grow up.”

A few naughty boys nodded vigorously, and then looked at the fresh food bubbling on the table with anticipation.

Long Yuan didn't want to leave now. He also wanted to taste this magical thing.

Su Muyao naturally saw it as well, so she went back to the room, took out a few more boxes and handed them to Long Yuan.

"You are so smart, you should have learned it already. I'll give it to you."

Long Yuan looked at the shell which was made of unknown material, and the flour inside which looked like flour but was not flour.

And those round ones, I don’t know what they are, but they look delicious (●°u°●) 」

After Long Yuan returned with several large boxes of food, he followed Su Muyao's instructions and cooked two servings for himself, eating happily.

This made Yingyi and Yinger on the side very anxious.

This stuff is so delicious that their master didn't even bother to let them have a taste.

If Long Yuan knew that his men had this kind of thinking, he would definitely say that he himself was not good enough.

As time passed, the only large workshop in the area was completed in full swing.

The next step was for each household to select a person. Su Muyao asked each household to send one person.

In addition, some of the more stable children were selected as helpers.

These children basically have no education. After all, there are only a few families in the whole village who send their children to school.

Su Muyao organized these children to go up the mountain to pick soapberries, and they were paid piece-rate wages, with more work more pay.

Some children start picking up trash at dawn and don't return until their family members pick them up at noon.

Basically, two full baskets of soap nuts can be harvested in half a day, and then someone at home will bring them back.

After lunch, the children will gather together again and wait until it is almost dark and their families arrive early before going back together.

Gradually, all the children in the village joined in, but Su Muyao also made it clear in advance that neither the good nor the bad would be accepted.

In fact, there is no need to remind these children at all, as the adults at home will give them countless instructions.

After moving it back, I will pick and choose from it again, and if there are any bad ones, I will pick them out.

All the people in the workshop are from the same village and they know each other well. Basically, they can become workers by simply signing a contract.

These workers only need to work nine hours a day. It must be said that before these workers started work, Su Muyao gave them simple training on how to understand time.

These workers may be called upon to give their numbers later, but we have to take it slow.

All workers were treated equally, with each receiving 30 wen per day.

These children in the village pick soapberries and basically earn more than their parents every day.

Of course, Su Muyao also explained to these people reasonably that the people in the workshop would be formal employees in the future.

In other words, even if there is no work in the workshop in the future, they will still receive the minimum wage.

Moreover, each position is relatively easy, paying 30 cents a day and including food.

Even if you work in the town, the salary is not that high. Even if you can earn thirty or forty cents a day, you still have to work from dawn to dusk.

It was only on the first day of work that the villagers discovered that the Su family was really generous. They arrived at the workshop at 7:30 in the morning and first drank a bowl of rice porridge and ate an egg before starting to work.

The rice porridge was thick, with several kinds of pickles and a large bowl of white sugar on the side.

If you like salty food, add some pickles. If you like sweet food, add some white sugar.

I didn't work for long before it was time to eat lunch at 11:. The standard lunch was one meat, two vegetable dishes and a soup, and steamed buns and rice until I was full.

I think at home they either eat corn porridge or steamed bread with whole grains.

Nowadays, working here not only earns you wages, but also provides you with such good food, and most importantly, enough rice and flour to fill your stomach.

Their lunch on the first day of work was braised pork, fried sweet potato leaves with garlic, and a steamed egg.

The villagers were all used to living in poverty, and basically no one ate the braised pork, steamed eggs, and the boiled egg in the morning.

I plan to bring some back home to feed my kids as a snack. After all, in this season we can’t even eat eggs for ten days or half a month, let alone meat.

When we got back at 5:30 in the evening, the sun was still high in the sky, but they had already finished work and gone home.

Su Muyao also discovered the inappropriateness of this, so she changed it to two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup.

I specifically asked the cook to have the soup either with some eggs or some meat, or if that didn't work, then pork ribs soup.

After all, I have to work, so I won't let these villagers suffer a loss. Now, whether it is the soap or the steamed liquor that have already started, the income is very considerable. I won't be that kind of person.

In just one month, everyone in the village had become noticeably plumper.

This also made other surrounding villages envious. During this period, many people came to inquire about the news. They heard that the children could earn about 100 coins a day by picking soapberries.

Those people were even more jealous, so Su Muyao also allowed children from several nearby villages to pick soapberries.

But the price charged is slightly lower than that charged by the children in the village.

When the news came out, many families were very happy, but there were always a few bad apples.

These people thought that the Su family was easy to control, so they came to make trouble.

As soon as the Su family opened their doors early in the morning, several women from the neighboring village came to the door with their children and resentful looks on their faces.

"Hey, old man Su, you are already so old, how come you are so ignorant of the ways of the world?"

Old man Su had just finished his breakfast and was planning to go out to the workshop to see if there was anything he could do to help, but he was blocked at his door by a group of old ladies.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh my, it's okay that your little lucky star doesn't understand the ways of the world, but you're a grown-up and you don't even know the basic way to treat everyone equally."

Old Man Su didn’t understand, but Old Lady Su could hear what these old ladies meant.

When she heard the noise outside, Old Mrs. Su quickly put down her unfinished bowl and chopsticks and came to the door.

"Hey, isn't this Taohua's mother? Why do you want to come to my house to extort money?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Why is the soapberry that my eldest grandson carried over from the mountain over there cheaper than the ones in your village?"

Another old lady nearby also said quickly: "Yes, we carried it all the way here.

Not to mention that it’s more expensive than what the kids in your village charge, it should be the same anyway, how come we get less?”
