A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Finally, I would like to say that our workshop accepts both men and women, and both men and women can sign up. But I have to say one more thing, that is, what happens in the workshop cannot be told to outsiders, even to family members. If you tell outsiders and the secret recipe of the workshop is lost, you will have to compensate the workshop with 10,000 taels of silver.

Then I won’t say any more. Those who want to sign up please line up in two rows here and we’ll see how many people there are.”

When everyone heard that they had to pay 12,000 taels of silver as compensation, there was an instant silence at the scene, and then a few seconds later, everyone started discussing again.

"Oh, the compensation is 12,000 taels of silver. I can't earn that much silver in this life or the next." A villager who wanted to sign up said fearfully.

"Yeah, why do you have to pay so much money as compensation? Are you still going to sign up?"

"Oh, what should I do? I want to sign up, but I can't afford to pay so much money."

At this moment, many people at the door of Old Zhang's house were hesitant because of Zhang Yunyue's words.

Zhang Lei's father was not affected by the ten thousand taels that Zhang Yunyue said at the end. He walked straight to the front to line up and then spoke loudly.

"Yueyue, I'm here to sign up. Don't worry, Uncle Zhang is very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone anything. I can't compensate you for the ten thousand taels of silver, hahahaha!"

"Yueyue, come here. Aunt Mu is here to sign up too. Aunt Mu won't tell anyone." Mu also stood in front and lined up.

"Yueyue, your cousin is here to sign up as well." Zhang Xingzhong walked forward and stood behind Zhang Yi.

When everyone heard what the two said, they thought, yes, as long as they don't tell anyone, they won't have to pay any money.

"Boss, go and sign up quickly. From now on, I will supervise you at all times and not let you reveal the secret recipe of the workshop. If you open your mouth, I will hit you." After the aunt said this, she pushed her boss out.

"Hahahaha"

"You, the head of the family, should go too. I will supervise you then."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

......

Zhang Yunyue looked at the villagers lined up in two rows, then walked forward and looked at everyone's clothes, nails, and hair. Those who did not pay attention to hygiene were asked to leave.

In the end, 20 men and 10 women passed the registration, including Zhang Xingzhong from my great grandfather's family, Zhang Xinglin from my second grandfather's family, and Zhang Dong, the eldest son of the village chief's family.

Great grandfather and second grandfather have large families, so when they learned that Grandpa Zhang's workshop was hiring workers, they decided to send one person from their family to work. This way, the family can save two amounts of money for now. The main reason is that after autumn, they can no longer make mung bean jelly, and at least there will be someone working in the family.

Zhang Yunyue pointed at the contract on the table and said, "Everyone who has successfully registered will come here to sign the contract. In addition, regarding the wages, men will receive 650 wen per month and women will receive 600 wen per month. If you do a good job, we will give you a bonus at the end of the year.

There are two days off each month. You can take a break anytime during these two days, but you have to make arrangements with other people. You can't take a break all at once.

If the workshop's shipments increase in the future, those who haven't signed up can sign up again."

"My God, the Zhang family pays so much. Even the waiters in this town don't get that much. I want to sign up next time."

"I didn't expect the Zhang family would pay so much per month!"

Those who did not sign up and those who did not pass regretted it a lot, and said that they would definitely sign up the next time the Zhang family notified them of recruitment.

"I just read out everything written on the contract. It also lists the remunerations for the uncles and aunts. If there is no problem, we will go through the trouble of signing up and line up to sign the contract.

It doesn't matter if you can't write. Just tell me your name and I'll write it for you, and then stamp it with your own handprint. The contract is made in duplicate, so you can keep one copy for yourself."

After listening to what Zhang Yunyue said, those who passed the registration came forward one by one, wrote their names, stamped their handprints, put one of the contracts in their arms, and prepared to take it home and put it away.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had signed the contract.

Zhang Yunyue: "Dear uncles, sisters-in-law, and aunts, the contract has been signed. The workshop will officially start work the day after tomorrow. From now on, the working hours will be from noon to noon, with a break of one hour, and then from noon to noon in the afternoon.

Everyone must come to work on time at 7:00 pm the day after tomorrow. If you are late or leave early more than three times in the same month, you will not be able to get the one kilogram of chili oil provided by our workshop. If you are late more than five times, you will have to leave the workshop."

When Zhang Yunyue said that as long as they didn't come late or leave early, they would get a pound of chili oil, some people who signed up, including the worker who built the workshop for Zhang Yunyue's family, were immediately happy.

When I ate mung bean jelly on the day of the beam raising ceremony, the taste of the chili oil was so fragrant. I have always wanted to eat it again, but I never had the chance. Now, as long as I work hard, the opportunity will come.

"Okay, Yueyue, don't worry, uncle will come early that day." Zhang Yi said and swallowed.

"Don't worry, Yueyue. For a pound of chili oil, I will come early every day."

"Me too."

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone who signed the contract shook their heads. After all, Zhang Yunyue had just stated every clause clearly and plainly.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhang Yunyue said, "Okay, then everyone come on time the day after tomorrow. We'll be alright from now on, so everyone can go home!"

The people standing at the door of Lao Zhang's house, seeing that there was no more hustle and bustle, started chatting with the people next to them and walked home.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Yunyue took the contract on the table, along with the writing brush, inkstone and walked into the yard, then returned to the house and put the contract away.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Yunyue did not go to town with his father today. It was Zhang Xingfeng who went to town today. Ever since his family bought an ox cart, Zhang Xingfeng had always wanted to go to town by ox cart.

But the family was busy during this period, so they didn't agree. Yesterday, when they heard that Zhang Yunyue was not going to the town, he immediately volunteered and said that he wanted to go to the town himself. Everyone thought that they could just let him collect the money when the time came, so they didn't refuse to let him go to the town.

Before Zhang's father left, Zhang Yunyue specifically asked Zhang's father and others to buy some meat in town when they came back. His uncle and others were coming today, so the family would probably invite them to stay for dinner.

Because she didn't know when the food would arrive, Zhang Yunyue waited at home early in the morning for the ordered clay pots to be delivered, as well as the chili peppers and peanuts from her uncles on both sides.

It's time.

"Boom, bang, bang."

After Qiao Dacheng knocked on the gate, he shouted outside the yard.

"Yueyue, A'lian, open the door, I'm your eldest brother."

Zhang Yunyue heard her uncle Qiao Dacheng's voice coming from outside the door in the yard, and hurriedly stood up to open the door.

"Uncle, uncle, grandpa, you are here. Uncle Lu, you are here too. Please come into the yard and sit down and rest for a while."
