I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

"So when does the work start?"

Xiang looked at Zhao Qiqi. She didn't know the answer to this question either. All the work now was preparatory work. As for when the work could start, it was naturally up to Zhao Qiqi to make the final decision.

"If everything goes well, we can start work in three days." Zhao Qiqi spoke and set the time.

"How many people are they recruiting in total? Are they recruiting people of our age?" asked the old lady Qian from the village. With such high wages, they probably wouldn't recruit people of her age, but she had to ask anyway, so she followed without giving up.

Xiang knew this: "No matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or weak, as long as there is a suitable position, we will not refuse you. Don't worry, there are a lot of people to be recruited this time, so everyone is likely to be selected."

After these words were spoken, everyone felt a little regretful and stopped calling more of their relatives. At the beginning, they were afraid that too many people would come, so they restrained themselves and only notified a few of their closest relatives.

“Can I sign up now?”

"I sign up, I sign up!"

Xiang asked everyone to line up: "Everyone line up, don't fight or make noise. We don't select people based on the order of registration, but on ability and character. We don't want people with bad character, even if they have outstanding abilities. So don't be too cunning. If you are caught, you will not be selected."

Now everyone began to quiet down, fearing that they would lose their lucrative jobs because of the noise.

At the same time, I felt a little fortunate. Since older people also wanted to do it, it meant that the work was not tiring.

Gu Yanyan was the only one among them who could write, so the job of registering and recording fell on him.

It was not until noon that all the information of everyone was filled out. One reason was that information on age and family situation also needed to be collected, and also, as time passed, more people knew that we were recruiting here and came to sign up.

Xiang looked at the stack of names in his hand and began to worry. It seemed that the fifty cents a day's salary was not easy to take. He had to assign positions according to each person's situation, and try to avoid assigning all the positions to familiar people, so that they would not collude to obtain the secret recipe.

If some people were not hired, they might even spit at her, which would simply be making enemies.

Zhao Qiqi looked at it for a while and then handed the matter over to her. She only needed to show her the final list and review it.

Others have made quite a few molds, almost two hundred in total. One mold can cut out ten bars of soap. If all are used, two thousand bars of soap can be produced at a time.

She asked the others to continue working and took Gu Yansui to the two plots of land they had just bought to prepare how to divide them and build a workshop.

You can arrange a stone mill outside to grind flour, but it is not very convenient to do it indoors because of space limitations.

Then you need to build five rooms: one for refining lard, one for burning wood ash and shell powder, one for filtering the wood ash water and mixing it with shell powder, one for stirring the mixture of lard and wood ash water, one for putting soap into molds, and one for cutting soap.

Zhao Qiqi took out a wooden stick and drew marks on the ground. When the time comes, he will just have to insert the wooden boards according to the drawn lines. After all, it is just a temporary workshop to serve as a shelter. He can build a better one later when he makes money.

"Yan Sui, you can hire someone to build it now. The sooner the work starts, the sooner you can make money."

Not too many wooden boards were needed, and in about an hour, a workshop with a rough shape was built, but it looked a little desolate.

Move a few large stones into the pot and place it on top. Since there is no roof, there is no need for a chimney.

Zhao Qiqi immediately asked Xiang to call some people to burn wood ash, refine oil, and burn shells. These were raw materials and had to be made first.

The pork fat in the town is more expensive than in the system, about twenty cents per pound, but Zhao Qiqi only needs eight cents per pound to buy it in the system. She bought part of it in the town, and basically bought the rest in the system, so no one would find it strange if she mixed them together.

"Second sister-in-law, when the recruitment is over, you will be needed to count the daily attendance and working hours of the staff."

Xiang was a little confused: "What is attendance?"

"I'll give you a list, and every day when someone comes to work, you'll mark the time they came, the time they left, and the total number of hours they worked."

Xiang was a little overwhelmed after hearing this. How could this be counted? She didn't know how to do it.

Seeing her mother in a dilemma, Gu Xiaocao quickly stepped forward and said, "Aunt, I have been learning Chinese characters and arithmetic from Brother Yan Yan during this period. If you don't understand these, you can let me do it."

She didn't want to take her mother's job, but she was afraid that her aunt would be unhappy, and no matter who made the money, they had to give it to her grandmother.

Xiang became a little anxious when she heard this. You silly girl, you are the only one who is capable of this, right? She glared at Gu Xiaocao with dissatisfaction and said, "It's just recognizing some words and calculating the time. I can do it if you teach me." Xiang didn't want to lose this job that could earn her fifty cents.

She was not doing this for any other reason. She was planning to get Gu Xiaocao, Gu Xiaohua, Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu all to work in Zhao Qiqi's workshop. This was the simplest thing, so of course she had to keep it for herself.

The work has not officially started yet, and if Xiang says seriously that he wants to learn, Zhao Qiqi will not refuse.

"Xiao Cao, then you should teach your mother more. When the workshop officially opens, I will arrange other work for you to do."

"Oh, Qiqi." Zhao Qiqi was still arranging everyone's work when he was hugged by someone who rushed over.

Zhao Qiqi's body stiffened, and he couldn't hide the instinctive disgust on his face.

It’s Zhao’s mother.

"Qiqi, you are capable now. I have heard that you are going to open a workshop, right?" Zhao's mother completely ignored the expression on her face and said to herself, "I knew that my daughter was not simple since she was a child. She will definitely have a promising future when she grows up."

"I'm just worried that you're working too hard, so mother is here to help you. Qiqi, you don't have to give me any preferential treatment. It's enough for your father and I to have food to eat." Mother Zhao said weakly, pleading for her misery.

Yes, playing the victim has always been her specialty. When Zhao's father got angry with Zhao Qiqi, when Zhao Qiqi was treated unfairly, she always squeezed back tears, trying to let Zhao Qiqi know that she was as miserable as she was, with no status and no say. In fact, her mere bystandership was an accomplice. She stayed out of it, indifferent as an outsider.

Zhao Qiqi withdrew his hand with a cold expression: "My brother is already the son-in-law of the He family in town, how can my parents have no food to eat?"

Seeing the people around her pointing and talking, Zhao's mother said quickly, "He's not having a good time in the He Mansion either."

As soon as these words were spoken, the image of a son-in-law with no say was fixed in everyone's mind.
