Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The next day, Xiao Wan and her parents went to the workshop to clean up, and saw five bamboo baskets stacked neatly at the door.

There was also a woman sweeping the floor at the door. When the three of them approached, they saw that it was Li Chunhua.

The three of them were stunned. Old Man Xiao nodded and went in first. He didn't deal with women much, and Li Chunhua also blushed a little.

She said unnaturally, "Thank you for the meal yesterday. I have no other way to repay you, so I made a few baskets. I, I'm leaving now. Don't bother with me about the past."

After saying that, he put down the broom and prepared to leave.

Xiao Wan looked at Liu, who nodded and called Li Chunhua.

"Niece-in-law, wait a minute. What happened before is over. It's not easy for you either. You still have to take care of Shitou and Wang's wife. You can come and work in the workshop from now on, but you have to be diligent. Can you do it for four hours a day?"

"Ah, ah, I, can I come? I can do it, I will work hard, I will definitely be diligent, and I will not be like before, don't worry, auntie."

Li Chunhua is a generation younger than Liu. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to work and earn money to support Shitou and her mother-in-law.

Li Chunhua cried with excitement. She wiped her tears and promised Liu that she would not be a gossip anymore and would be diligent and clean so as not to disappoint the Xiao family.

Xiao Wan also smiled mischievously at Li Chunhua, and asked Li Chunhua to go to her third aunt's house to sign up, come to work tomorrow, and get three days' wages in advance so that she could buy some brown rice first.

Li Chunhua was extremely excited. She only wanted to perform well at work and start a new life. She would not let Xiao Shitou grow up to be looked down upon for having such a mother.

The next morning, Aunt Xiao and the ten female workers she recruited gathered at the door of the workshop. Aunt Wang's thirteen-year-old Ni'er was also called by Xiao Wan, after all, it had been promised before.

Xiao Wan stood at the door of the workshop. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't excited and nervous. After all, this was the first time she had opened a workshop in her past and present lives. She didn't know why she had gotten so excited and started it.

But there is no way to retreat now, we must persevere.

So Xiao Wan forced herself to calm down and faced everyone with a smile.

He said, "Dear sisters-in-law, aunts, and sisters, before we start working, let's talk about the rules. If anyone feels they can't adapt, we won't force them, but just let them know in advance."

Seeing everyone nod, Xiao Wan continued, "First, wages are settled at the end of each month, 20 wen a day. If you take a day off, you won't get paid. If you take half a day off, 10 wen will be deducted. For every six days of work, you get one day off."

"Secondly, my Third Aunt works just like everyone else, but she oversees the work. Her wages are increased by two hundred coins per month, and her arrival and departure times must be recorded with her. She also provides one meal at noon."

"Third, everyone who comes to work must sign a contract and not disclose the workshop's secrets. Otherwise, you will be confronted by the authorities and ordered to pay compensation."

As soon as the third point was made, the female workers began to whisper to each other, obviously hesitant.

But Xiao Wan insisted that one thing should be treated separately. If the matters of the workshop were leaked casually, what would she do then? Of course, she had to take precautions in advance.

Of course, there is no technical content in making vermicelli with ground eggs, and it will probably be studied soon.

But Xiao Wan's trump card is her own space. The villagers in the space have already taken the ground egg seedlings back to plant. She only accepts the ground egg seedlings planted by her own villagers, so the quality is self-evident.

Xiao Wan wants to earn her first pot of gold before others.

The female workers hesitated for a while, but were finally persuaded by the high salary. After all, they could have four days off every month and it was close to home, so they all agreed.

Xiao Wan nodded in satisfaction and continued, "As long as everyone works hard, if business is good in the future, there will be bonuses. If you never take a day off except for rest days, you will get an extra 100 wen per month for full attendance."

This made the female workers even more excited.

"I've already had someone write down some specific workshop work regulations and posted them on the wall. If you have any questions, you can ask my Third Aunt."

"By the way, Sister Chunhua, if you have time, could you please weave a few more bamboo baskets, as large as possible, for us to use for drying things? I'll pay you at the end of the month."

Li Chunhua hurriedly agreed and started writing after she got home and had dinner.

After the female workers had no more questions, Xiao Wan began to divide the work.

The strong aunts are mainly responsible for cleaning the ground eggs and transporting them to the workshop. They then peel and clean the ground eggs, cut them into small pieces, chop them finely, add water to make a paste, and pour it into the basin.

The other female workers used the thin white cotton bags that Aunt Wang had made before, put the starch liquid from the ground eggs into them, and squeezed them repeatedly into a clean basin until no water came out. They then added water and squeezed them repeatedly until the squeezed water became clear.

Then let the starch water stand for about five hours. The starch has sunk. Slowly pour out the water on top and the starch below will solidify. Put it in another basin, add water and continue to knead and squeeze it. Repeat three or four times until it becomes white.

The precipitated egg starch is white. Take it out, pinch it into small pieces, dry it, and put it in the sun for one or two hours, then store it.
