Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"What are the conditions? What is the content of the contract?" asked Village Chief Ma.

“Everyone who works for me has to sign a contract, which mainly binds me and everyone else’s interests.

I provide everyone with employment opportunities, that is, opportunities to work.

Teach you how to make vermicelli. During the production process, there will definitely be some technical support and secret recipes.

Then those who work here need to keep it a secret!

The method of making vermicelli cannot be told to outsiders, not even to family members.

Also, you can’t make it at home.

However, this treaty was only signed for two years, and after two years, the treaty became invalid!

Everyone can make vermicelli at home at will. I will not interfere too much, and I will not intervene too much in whether the production method is passed on to others.

But if the person who wants to come to work and signs the contract violates the agreement and causes losses to my business, he will be punished accordingly. "

Xia Shengsheng set the two-year standard mainly because the method of making vermicelli is not particularly difficult.

At the beginning, it will be popular for a while and make a lot of money.

But in the future, when the raw materials are available, someone will definitely figure out how to make vermicelli.

By then, vermicelli will no longer be a secret.

That's why we signed a two-year contract.

“There’s no problem with this contract. I also stewed the vermicelli you brought last time with the rabbit.

The taste is quite fresh, especially smooth, delicious, and has a rich aroma.

If this kind of food were sold, it would definitely be popular with the public.

I am just worried that you have hired so many people and you have to stock up so much potato when the price is high. Will you lose money? "

Village chief Ma’s worries are not unreasonable. Every business can make money or lose money, and it is not a sure-fire way to make money.

However, Xia Shengsheng believed that how could this ingredient, which has been popular in modern times and widely loved by the people, not make a splash and earn money in ancient times?

“Don’t worry, village chief, business will be good in the future.

The labor costs are high, the prices of raw materials are high, and relatively speaking the price of vermicelli will also be high.

For ordinary farmers like us, it doesn’t matter what we eat, as long as we can fill our stomachs.

Therefore, if we want to cook something, the main target audience is not ordinary families like us, but those well-off families who are willing to spend money on food and drink, as well as wealthy wealthy families.

As for whether future business will be as good as expected, we will have to wait and see.

The initial investment cost is actually not that large. Just make a batch. If you really can’t sell them, you can stop making them in the future and directly cut off this business.

But if the business is really good, won’t my children and I have hope for life in the future?

So, don't worry about me, village chief, I know what's going on."

Seeing that Xia Shengsheng had his mind clear, Village Chief Ma stopped talking and just thought that he would help if he could in the future.

"Do you have any women you're interested in? Tell me who they are, and I can help you negotiate the rest.

And we also have to choose some people with good character, otherwise, I'm afraid that even the contract won't be able to restrain her.

Give me a specific rule on when to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes and when to use them. "

Xia Shengsheng was really grateful in his heart that he could meet such a good village chief.

In fact, Village Chief Ma only received some subsidies from the government, not much.

But he cares about all the big and small matters in the village, and he is very fair and just.

Just like what happened in Xia Shengsheng’s family these few times.

In fact, if the village chief didn't care, even more things would be omitted.

If you control it, there will be no benefit.

But every time Xia Shengsheng found Village Chief Ma, he would always respond.

Although Xia Shengsheng would occasionally bring some things over.

But Xia Shengsheng believed that even without those things and those small favors, Village Chief Ma would still help Xia Shengsheng and everyone in the village who needed help.

"Sister Ma, Sister Liuzhi and Sister Rourou from the Zheng family are definitely the first choices. It doesn't matter if you are a freshman or a familiar person!

There are also the Li family and the Ma Kui family. The village chief will help to choose the remaining candidates!"

Ma Dajia brought tea and was not in a hurry to cook.

Listening to the conversation between Xia Shengsheng and her father-in-law, she was very happy to know that her name was included this time and it was Xia Shengsheng's first choice.

Last time, she and the second brother both worked for Xia Shengsheng.

The second child earns more than her. Her husband only worked odd jobs for two days in town and never found any other job.

This time it's good, she can go to Xia Shengsheng's house to work again.

25 cents a day, although no lunch is provided, but women's work is not as tiring as men's. Even if you carry a lantern, you may not be able to find suitable work for women.

What’s more, it’s a job that pays such high wages.

Village Chief Ma and Xia Shengsheng studied it together for a while.

In the end, in addition to the few families mentioned by Xia Shengsheng, Village Chief Ma selected a few women with good character and efficient work.

But the details can only be determined after asking.

"If you have any potatoes or sweet potatoes for sale, please send them to me tomorrow night. The recruitment will also be finalized tomorrow night. I will take the children to the capital during the day!"

"Okay! Go ahead and do your thing. I'll ask my eldest brother to notify them about the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and ask his wife to go find those families and call them over to me so I can talk to them about the contract."

Xia Shengsheng thanked the village chief Ma and returned home under the escort of the Ma family.

The Ma family came to the village to inform a few people assigned by Village Chief Ma. While chatting with Xia Shengsheng, they sent Xia Shengsheng home first before going to other people's homes.

Xia Shengsheng should have hired workers and harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes himself.

The reason why Village Chief Ma was asked to help hire workers was entirely because of this clause in the contract.

If Village Chief Ma acts as a middleman, the contract will be more deterrent.

After all, Village Chief Ma has great prestige!

As for harvesting potatoes and sweet potatoes, Xia Shengsheng simply found it troublesome.

If we go door to door to notify everyone, it will take most of the day to go around.

When you meet someone you know, you have to exchange pleasantries for a while and talk endlessly.

It is better to hand it over, so that you will feel like you are debt-free.

However, she remembered the kindness of Village Chief Ma and would have the opportunity to repay him in the future.

When they returned home in the evening, Xia Shengsheng and several children sat at the table in the main room.

Eating the big stew cooked by Liu Yiyi.

Spare ribs, potatoes, eggplant, beans, and vermicelli are all stewed together.

Of course, vegetables are not available at this time. I bought eggplants and beans from Qiqi.

Xia Shengsheng brought back some vegetables almost every time she went up the mountain. The children thought she had been to the town and were surprised that the vegetables were stored so well and were still so fresh after a whole winter. They didn't think about anything else at all.

Sitting in a comfortable chair and eating happily with the family, it actually makes me miss the time when we used to sit on small stools around the stove.
