I have been farming since I crossed over.

At 9:00 PM, everyone put down their work and went to the front yard to prepare for the meeting.

"Everyone is welcome to join Qianshanfang, become a member of Qianshanfang, and shine here." Yang Mingxi simply said a few words of encouragement, followed by the working system, salary and benefits, etc.

"The workshop starts at 20: PM, takes a break at : PM, and no meals are provided. Work starts at : PM, and ends at : PM. The wages are the same as before, mainly piecework, and there are bonuses for exceeding a certain monthly quota. The same goes for management staff, but they receive a management salary of wen per day. That's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Yang Mingxi paused for a moment and continued, "If there are no questions, then we'll adjourn and go back to your work!"

After this brief talk, everyone returned to their own workshops and left the affairs to the management staff.

Now that the workshop has just opened, the main thing is to familiarize myself with the workshop processes and ensure that the materials are available for tomorrow's stall.

Yang Mingxi always felt that something was missing, so she asked Lu Jintang to visit each workshop, but they still couldn't find the problem.

Yang Mingxi said, "Let's draw a layout of the workshop. Maybe we can figure out the problem. Let's go to the office."

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "I have a layout of the workshop, but what is an office?"

Yang Mingxi slapped his head and said, "I was wondering what's missing? It still lacks offices: an administrator's office, a staff lounge, and a conference room. It can be used just like your study."

"Then we should still need several rooms, at least an accounting office and a purchasing room." Lu Jintang said.

"Oh, yes, so let's go through it again, mainly the front yard. Don't worry about the backyard, it's just the drying yard."

"You don't need to go into the workshop anymore. From bottom to top, there are the slaughterhouse, washing workshop, frying workshop, tofu workshop, noodle workshop, and flour mill. A cold storage has been built next to the flour mill, which is just enough to use all the fields on your side." Lu Jintang said.

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Yes, that's the layout, so the only thing we can move now is the front yard."

"There's a gently sloping road leading up to your house in the front yard, which is parallel to the cold storage and goes all the way to the bottom of the gentle slope. It's all reserved for use as a warehouse. Now we just need to build the outer wall, enclose the inside, and lay tiles. It's roughly at this location." Lu Jintang said as he took Yang Mingxi to have a look.

Yang Mingxi looked at the place, then pointed to the area next to the door and said, "We can build a lounge, conference room, accounting office and office here. It's right next to the main door."

Lu Jintang wrote down: "Okay, build the room shorter, leaving some space in the middle for moving around, so it's easier to transport goods."

"Build a purchasing room on the south side of the main gate, and open a small door on the courtyard wall. People who come to sell things can come directly through this small door without having to go through the main gate. Build a guard room next to the main gate, and people entering and leaving must register."

"Okay, I'll take note of it. Let's build a bamboo tube and bamboo skewer workshop opposite the slaughtering workshop so that it will be easier to manage them together." Lu Jintang said.

Yang Mingxi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, there are many things I didn't think of when I came here alone. But with more people around, I can pay more attention. Isn't that why I think of everything?"

Lu Jintang smiled and shook his head, thinking: "She is still used to doing things by herself, and has never thought of relying on anyone."

The two of them discussed it and happened to meet Gu Laosan who was driving a ox cart to deliver the goods.

After opening the door to let Gu Lao San in, Yang Mingyu was temporarily called in to receive the items and do the accounting. Yang Mingxi said, "We still need to open a door outside the purchasing room, so it will be more convenient."

After a while, Lu Er brought people to deliver the animals, and also came in through the main gate. Yang Mingxi had a headache. Not everything could be brought in through the main gate. It was so inconvenient!

Seeing Yang Mingxi frowning, Lu Jintang also thought of this and quickly said, "Let's go to the south and see if they can open a small door from the outside of the slaughterhouse to make it easier for the animals to enter."

The two men went out for a look and decided to open a small door in the slaughterhouse so that the animals could enter directly through that door.

After finishing the busy work, Yang Mingxi saw that it was almost two quarters past noon, so she hurried home to cook, as those who were working at the stalls and workshops would be back for dinner soon.

Lu Jintang followed Yang Mingxi and hurried to Yang Mingxi's house.

Yang Mingqian had already steamed the rice at home, just as Yang Mingxi had done the day before. The other dishes were also ready, and all that was left was to stir-fry them.

Yang Mingxi looked at the prepared dishes, which included potatoes, tofu, cabbage, and a large piece of pork.

Looking at the ingredients, Yang Mingxi thought that it might be too late, so she thought of a lazy dish, which is a nicer way to say it is hot pot, but it is not as sophisticated as hot pot.

"Click, click, click" cut the potatoes into strips, the tofu into cubes, the cabbage into sections, and the pork into thin slices, then add some seasonings and marinate.

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry dried chilies. Add a tablespoon of soybean paste and stir-fry until fragrant. Add cabbage and potatoes to the pan and stir-fry until the moisture is released. Add a little salt and warm water and cook. Add the meat slices before removing from the pan and cook until cooked.

Just as the food was ready, Yang Laowu and the four brothers of the Yang family came back.

After dinner, when going to work in the afternoon, Yang Mingxi would go over to see if there were any problems with everyone's operations, and whether there were enough people.

Lu Jintang was called away by Lu Da, saying that something happened.

Yang Mingxi came to the workshop and checked everything one by one.

The work in the slaughterhouse is the most complicated and the dirtiest, and does not require any skills. For now, only Uncle Yang Liu, the manager, has been arranged, and the rest of the people will be found in the village. However, there is no time to recruit people today, so the three cousins of the Wu family are here to help for the time being.

The slaughterhouse's main task today is to slaughter and dismember a bison, a big fat pig from Yang Mingxi's family, and 50 rabbits.

Uncle Yang has the final say on how things should be handled in the workshop, and no one else interferes.

At the washing shop, Lei is now arranging the processing of the vegetables sent by Gu Laosan. They are washing, cutting, and stringing them together in a busy and orderly manner.

In the frying shop, Yang Mingyang was making fish balls, and Yang Laoqi was also preparing.

Mrs. Li, the aunt of the tofu shop, was too busy to handle it all by herself, so the two boys from the Wu family helped out.

At the noodle shop, Aunt Yang Liu makes the pea flour and guazhua rice noodles, while the Wu family boy helps with the noodles and rice vermicelli. Although it's busy, it's not a big problem.

After going around, Yang Mingxi knew how many people to recruit. She would first consider the Wu family and then look for people from the village.

In the afternoon, Lu Jintang hurriedly found Yang Mingxi and said, "Axi, I'm going to be out for two days. If you have anything, you can go find Lu Er. My family is coming soon, I'll go out to greet them."
