Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The morning sun rises slowly, and a new day begins again.

Because work was quite busy today, Ye Chao and Er Cheng stayed at home to help.

While a few people were still having breakfast, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to put down his bowl and chopsticks and go out to open the door.

When the door opened, we saw a huge group of people, led by Li Erjia and Ma Dajia.

"Sister Xia, we are here. Did we not waste any time?"

Xia Shengsheng quickly shook his head. "No, no, everyone come in first!"

Needless to say, the ten people who have been working there before will definitely be used, after all, they are all experienced!

This time, Xia Shengsheng plans to recruit another 50 people, and everyone will work together. Although the front yard seems a bit crowded, it can still be done.

The more people there are, the more vermicelli can be produced and the more money can be earned from selling them.

Xia Shengsheng bought 300 kilograms of dried chili peppers and 800 kilograms of fresh chili peppers from Qiqi yesterday.

Tao Wuji was sold 300 kilograms of fresh chili peppers, but he was not given any dried chili peppers as they were all kept for seeds.

We also bought 2,000 kilograms of potatoes, which are now piled up in the inventory room in the factory.

The potatoes you need this time can be bought directly from Qiqi.

It’s just because I didn’t know that such a large amount of vermicelli would be needed suddenly.

Xia Shengsheng did not place any orders in advance, so for now he could only take out 2,000 kilograms of potatoes.

However, two days later, Xia Shengsheng was able to get 100,000 kilograms of potatoes. Because the quantity was large, Qiqi even raised the price.

The price of potatoes, which originally cost RMB 1.5 per pound, has risen to RMB 2.

Even so, the price is worth it.

Xia Shengsheng did not ask the ten people who had been working before to start work in a hurry.

Or let them help select the 50 people who will work with you.

Xia Shengsheng also planned to let these ten experienced people be team leaders, leading ten teams, with six people in each team, and their wages would naturally be the same as before.

The team leader gets 28 wen per day, while team members still get the normal 25 wen.

However, some reward and punishment systems should be added to make management easier.

"I want people with good character and who are efficient at work. I will divide you into ten groups, and each of you will be the leader of ten teams..."

Hearing this, the ten people looked at each other, all of them extremely happy.

Being a team leader means an extra three cents a day, and even buying two eggs! Of course they are willing to do such a good thing.

Li Erjia and Ma Dajia had been team leaders before, so it is not surprising now.

"Don't be happy too soon.

From now on, each group’s work will be allocated and unified in advance.

If the person you choose does not do a good job and slows down the speed of the entire group, that group will have to deal with it.

You can go home only when you finish the assigned work!

If the work is not completed, wages will be deducted.

And all team leaders have management responsibilities. If you can't manage the people in your team well, then I will consider finding someone to replace you..."

There are two relatively cowardly ones, such as Widow Wei and Old Lady Zheng’s daughter-in-law Rouer.

When I heard this, I felt uneasy.

He wanted to earn the extra money and become the team leader, but he was afraid that he would be replaced if he failed to manage the team well in the future.

I’m also worried about choosing the wrong person.

Anyway, there are many considerations and I am hesitant.

“But don’t worry too much, as long as you do your job well, I will reward you.

Okay, now it’s up to you to choose your team members.”

Xia Shengsheng is not very familiar with most of the people in the village, so it is just right to leave this kind of thing to the people below him.

By saying what I just said, they will at least choose those who do a good job and will not slow down the progress of the entire group.

However, in order to avoid members of the same family or those with particularly good relationships from gathering together in a group and causing trouble again.

Xia Shengsheng asked Ye Chao and Er Cheng to write sixty pieces of paper, representing groups 1 to 5 respectively, and then everyone drew lots to decide which group they would belong to.

The ten people were not idle at this time, and were selecting from the applicants.

Many people couldn't help but speak when they saw the ten team leaders walking past them.

"Aunt Li, please choose me! I can work."

"Mr. Zhao, look how strong my arms are! I've been doing this for so many years, I must be an expert at it."

"Mrs. Ma, let me do it! My child is going to get married soon, and we are short of money! Just choose me..."

For a moment, Xia Shengsheng's yard was very lively.

In the end, everyone picked out five people.

There are sisters-in-law at home, good friends, and neighbors who live nearby.

There are 60 people, and more than 40 households have people working for Xia Shengsheng.

The rest of the people could only let them go back first.

Those who were not chosen were naturally unhappy, but no one was stupid enough to make a scene in front of Xia Shengsheng.

After all, the whole family is benefiting from Xia Shengsheng.

Li Dajia was unable to come to work for Xia Shengsheng last time, but this time she was chosen by Li Erjia. She was very happy and suddenly felt that this sister-in-law was pretty good.

Although the Li Er family does not get along well with the Li Da family's fashion, they will definitely side with their own family in this matter.

The number of people has been selected, 60, of which more than half are women around years old.

There were only ten adult girls, but they all looked strong. A few who looked weak and frail were not selected.

Xia Shengsheng first took out ten pieces of paper with numbers from one to ten, and asked the ten team leaders to choose their numbers respectively.

After the selection is made, the remaining people will be allowed to draw one after another.

"I'm in Group 2?"

“I was assigned to three groups!”

"Aren't we in the same group?"

"Sister Xia! Why don't you let us sisters-in-law be in the same group?"

"Yes, I want to follow my second aunt."

Many relatives’ schedules have been disrupted and everyone has questions.

However, Xia Shengsheng did not give much explanation, but asked them to make their choice and start working immediately following their team leaders.

The ten people who had been there before were already familiar with all the procedures, and they led the way, teaching the newcomers step by step.

The ten people were used to following Xia Shengsheng and understood her temper to some extent. No one dared to say anything about her arrangements, but instead took their team members to familiarize themselves with the process first.

At the beginning, most people don’t know how to cook it, and it will definitely be slow and a lot of food will be wasted.

So Xia Shengsheng asked each team to only use 300 kilograms of potatoes for training in the first two days. After the potatoes were ripe, each team had to make at least 350 kilograms of vermicelli every day.

Xia Shengsheng had prepared all the necessary tools in advance.

However, seven large pots had to be built in the yard and a canopy had to be built over them so as not to delay work.

Just at this moment, the village chief came over with dozens of people.
