Lu Tingyan's workshop was finally built, which was a big event worth celebrating. In order to make the workshop run smoothly, Lu Tingyan decided to recruit workers.

She asked her father to ask the village head to invite everyone to gather at the threshing ground and prepare to introduce the recruitment matters to the villagers.

It was a sunny day, and the threshing ground was crowded with people. Doctor Lu and Lu Tingyan stood on a high place and introduced the situation of the workshop and the requirements for recruiting workers.

"My fellow villagers, my workshop has been built and we need to recruit 20 workers, regardless of gender. Our workshop mainly produces sweet potato vermicelli. The work is relatively easy and the salary is generous, wen a day, with dividends at the end of the year. We need to sign a cooperation agreement. If you are interested, you can come and sign up."

As soon as Lu Tingyan finished speaking, a burst of discussion broke out among the crowd.

“Is the treatment really as good as she said?”

"Could this be a lie?"

"I want to try, but I don't know how to do it."

Facing everyone's doubts, Lu Tingyan did not get angry. She patiently explained:

"My fellow villagers, I can assure you that our workshop is formal and the treatment is real. If you don't have the skills, we will have a special master to teach you. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to learn."

After hearing what Lu Tingyan said, some people began to be tempted. They went to the registration office and filled in their information.

However, at this moment, a man named Li Dapeng stood up and said loudly:

"Don't believe her, she's a liar. Her workshop is just starting out and isn't making any money. She's just trying to trick us into working for her."

Li Dapeng's words caused a commotion, and some people began to hesitate. Seeing this, Lu Tingyan quickly said:

"Li Dapeng, don't talk nonsense. Our workshop has orders, so how can we not make money? You are deliberately sabotaging our recruitment by saying this."

Li Dapeng sneered, "Humph, you said there is an order, right? Who knows if you are just bragging? I think you just want to trick us into working as laborers for you."

Lu Tingyan was so angry at Li Dapeng that her face turned red. She said, "Li Dapeng, don't slander us. We are cooperating with Ruyi Restaurant."

Li Dapeng said disdainfully: "I don't care who you cooperate with. I tell you, don't even think about recruiting anyone today."

After that, Li Dapeng instigated some people to leave the threshing ground. Lu Tingyan looked at the crowd leaving and felt very sad. She didn't understand why Li Dapeng treated her like this.

The head of the village came over and comforted her, "Yan girl, don't be sad. Li Dapeng is jealous of you and holds a grudge against you for beating him last time. In addition, he was not hired when the workshop started. When he saw that your workshop was completed, he felt unbalanced, so he did this. We should not argue with him."

Lu Tingyan nodded slightly and expressed her gratitude: "Grandpa Lizheng, thank you for your comfort!"

Then, she looked around, her eyes fell on the people who stayed, and slowly said: "I believe everyone is aware of the profitability of Yanwan Embroidery Workshop? The amount of dividends that we embroiderers receive at the end of each year is not small! And the partner of our workshop this time is the most wealthy family in the town - Lin Mansion, which is also the famous Ruyi Restaurant. This is our second cooperation. In addition, I believe you have also witnessed Mr. Xiao frequently patronizing our house. He is the beloved son of the county magistrate. I think everyone should be aware of the connection here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jie stood up and said, "Yan girl, I trust you. Since Brother Jinghe is confident that you can take the lead, it means that he has full confidence in your ability. My wife and I have decided to sign up."

"Thank you Uncle Zhang for your trust." Lu Tingyan responded gratefully.

Lu Rong then said, "Yan'er, your aunt Lu can earn so much money every month. We have always believed in your ability."

"Uncle Lu, thank you for your support." Lu Tingyan thanked him again.

For a while, responses came one after another, and many people signed up enthusiastically. In a blink of an eye, the twenty places were filled.

Doctor Lu stood aside, feeling very pleased. He whispered to Lu Tingyan, "Yan'er, your performance this time is really outstanding! Although you encountered some twists and turns in the recruitment process, you finally succeeded with your own strength and courage. This fully proves that you not only have outstanding abilities, but also extraordinary courage. In the days to come, you must continue to work hard to develop and expand our workshop!"

Hearing her father's praise, Lu Tingyan nodded slightly to show her agreement. She responded firmly: "Dad, please rest assured! I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely go all out to strive to take the workshop to a higher level!"

After thinking for a moment, the village head asked, "Yan girl, since the recruitment has been successfully completed, when do you plan to officially start the construction?"

Lu Tingyan thought for a moment and replied, "Dear elders, the work will officially start tomorrow! Here, I sincerely look forward to working together with you and having fun together. Today's matter has come to an end for the time being, and the villagers can all go home and rest."

As soon as she entered the house, Lu Tingyan couldn't wait to talk to Su: "Mother, making sweet potato vermicelli requires a lot of sweet potatoes, so we must purchase enough raw materials as soon as possible. I think it would be more appropriate to let my uncle take charge of this purchasing task. What do you think, mother?"

Su smiled and replied, "Okay, mother will go to Sujia Village in person later to discuss this matter with your uncle."

Lu Tingyan said softly to her mother, "Mom, let me go with you! I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time. This time, I just happen to be on the way, so I can talk to my aunt about the embroidery workshop."

When Lu Tianxuan heard that he could go to his grandparents' house, he shouted excitedly, "Mom, I want to go with you too!"

Then, Lu Tingyan and her group brought a lot of exquisite gifts and drove a spacious and comfortable carriage towards Sujia Village. When they arrived at Sujia Village and came to the door of Su's father and mother's house, Lu Tingyan shouted loudly: "Grandpa and grandma, we are here to visit you!"

When Mother Su heard the familiar voice, she walked out of the hall master's room happily, muttering: "Oh, my Yan'er, grandma misses you so much!"

Lu Tingyan quickly responded: "Grandma, I miss you very much, too!"

Mother Su held Lu Tingyan's hand tightly, led her into the house, and said kindly: "Good child, grandma specially prepared some delicious candies for you to try. Yuan'er, Xuan'er, you two little ones, come in quickly."

Lu Tianxuan shouted happily: "Yeah! The candies given by grandma must be the most delicious!"

Su said jokingly, "Mom, ever since you had Yan'er, you only have this granddaughter in your eyes, and you don't care about me, your precious daughter, at all."

Su's mother smiled and replied, "Oh, my good daughter, why is she jealous of her own daughter? Haha, stop it, everyone come into the house, everyone has a share!"

Su looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, where are my brother and sister-in-law? I have something I want to discuss with them."

Su's mother responded, "They went to work in the fields. They're about to start sowing! I'll go find someone to help call them back."

Not long after, Su Ming and Lu returned home, along with Su's father. As soon as he entered the house, Su Ming asked, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Su quickly replied, "Brother, we recently opened a workshop specializing in making sweet potato vermicelli. Now we want to give you the task of purchasing sweet potatoes. Brother buys them from others at the price of two cents per pound, and then resells them to us at the price of three cents per pound."

Hearing this, Su Ming said hesitantly: "Sister, I'm worried that I can't do this well."

At this time, Lu Tingyan, who had been standing next to him, interrupted and said, "Uncle, you must believe in your own abilities."

Encouraged, Su Ming nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Then, Lu Tingyan continued, "Uncle, when you sow the wasteland this time, you can plant more sweet potatoes. When our sweet potato vermicelli is popularized, the demand for sweet potatoes will definitely increase greatly. And you can pay someone to help you turn the soil. After all, uncle, you are busy buying sweet potatoes and have no time to take care of the fields; and aunt needs to work in the embroidery workshop."

Su said to Su Ming with confidence: "Brother, you will be right if you listen to Yan'er!" Su Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lu Tingyan looked at Mrs. Lu and said softly, "Aunt, my mother is really too busy to handle everything now. I hope you can go over and help. As for the monthly salary, it's five taels of silver per month."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was surprised. She said in disbelief, "Yan'er, I don't know how to do anything, and you're giving me so much. I'm afraid others will have opinions, right?"

Lu Tingyan thought for a moment, then replied: "How about this, aunt? Let's set up a two-month probation period, during which the monthly salary is two taels of silver. Once you are familiar with the work, you can be transferred to a formal employee, and then the monthly salary will be five taels. I hope you can get started as soon as possible."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she immediately smiled and said quickly, "Okay, okay, aunt will study hard and will never let you down!"

Mrs. Lu looked at the happy family and said happily, "Okay! Stop chatting. I'll go cook for you. Come back after dinner."

After hearing this, Su quickly got up and went into the kitchen to help. Lu Tingyan took her brother's hand and ran out to play impatiently.

Not long after, the meal was ready. Mother Su came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and said to the children with a smile, "Here, give the big chicken leg to our Yan'er, and this one is for Xuan'er."

Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianxuan answered in unison: "Thank you, grandma!" Then, the two little ones began to eat with relish.

Mother Su looked at Jun Moyuan with loving eyes and said softly, "Yuan'er, you should eat too. Don't just watch them eat."

Jun Moyuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said to his grandmother gratefully, "Thank you, grandma." Then he began to enjoy the delicious meal.

At this moment, the whole house is filled with a strong family atmosphere, making people feel extremely warm and happy...
