After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 45 Tangji Soap Shop

The crowd was in an uproar.

Another amazing phrase!

Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant.

"Boss, hurry up, hurry up, mine, mine!"

The others who didn't get it no longer looked like scholars.

"Mine too, mine too!"

"What is it? What is it?"

"I know it's not snow from afar, only the subtle fragrance is coming!"

"The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms."

......

There were nearly ten people coming to the shop, and each of them took out a line of poetry from the scroll.

Every sentence is exquisite, every word is good.

"I have been studying for so many years, but I have never come across a quatrain like this one."

"It's a pity that there's only one sentence each, not a complete poem."

"Shopkeeper, do you know who wrote this?"

Any poem as good as this one will be known to everyone in the literary world.

It wouldn’t be so unknown until now.

Lady Xiang just shook her head.

"I'm just a salesperson, how would I know? I bought it from someone else.

Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of him, everyone went home holding a branch of spring.

People don't come here for the soap, they just come for the good words, so many people go home and just put the soap aside and don't care about it anymore.

Only a few people used soap.

However, Shen Tang, who was far away in Shenjia Village, had no idea that Yizhichun had become a huge hit.

There are three rows of workshops, and the courtyard walls have been built.

Shen Dashan helps out in the workshop every day.

There is now another helper in the family to help Liu with things.

Therefore, the workers did not come to the house for meals. Every time lunch was prepared, they would deliver the meals there and back.

The second family has not been noisy recently because Shen Wen has returned to town to study.

February 2nd is the day when the dragon raises its head, which is a good day.

It was also the day when the workshop was completed. On this day, Shen Tang and his friends changed into clean new clothes.

The beams were made of fir wood that Shen Dashan personally found on the mountain, and he called several strong men from the village to move them down the mountain.

A long red cloth was tied to the fir tree.

The workshop was also surrounded by people, almost all the men, women and children in the village came.

The carpenter shouted:

"Congratulations to the God of East, today is the day for the beams to be raised. Zhang Liang chopped the trees, Lu Ban measured with a ruler; the Purple Star shines brightly, bringing great fortune and prosperity!"

Shen Dashan stood tall and sprinkled candies and cakes from the beam.

"It's so impressive!"

"Yes, they are all blue bricks. How much do they cost?"

"The Dashan family is different."

The sun-shaped blue brick workshop stands out among a bunch of wooden houses. What's more, it is taller and bigger.

After the main beam was put up, the workshop plaque with red flowers was also hung high.

"Tangji Soap Shop" is hung in the center of a room.

"Why is it Tangji, not Shenji?"

"Oh my goodness, this is incredible, this is Shen Tang's name."

"This workshop will belong to Shen Tang from now on."

"..."

The crowd's discussions were drowned out by the sound of firecrackers.

It was still chilly in early spring, but Shen Tang felt hot all over.

Her first industry since coming to Da Qi has already taken shape.

The village head came out and spoke loudly,

"Today is a good day for the Dashan family to establish their workshop. On behalf of the village, I would like to congratulate the Dashan family."

"Besides, there is another good thing I want to tell you, fellow villagers."

"Before, we agreed to recruit workers after the workshop was established. Now that the workshop is established, it is natural for us to start recruiting workers."

"We will give priority to hiring women in the village who have skills. In addition, the workshop will also purchase some vegetables."

"Those who are interested can go to Dashan's home in the evening to sign up. The registration period is two days. Three days later, the recruitment list will be posted outside the workshop."

As soon as the head of the village finished speaking, there was a huge commotion in the crowd.

"Village head, aren't we men stronger than those women at work?"

"Exactly. Also, why didn't they mention the salary when they were hiring?"

Several people in the crowd raised questions.

"Everyone, women are better at workshop work. First of all, they need to be dexterous, and secondly, they need to be able to cook."

Liu stood up and answered,

"As for men, since we mainly recruit female workers, it's better to have fewer male workers."

"Spring planting is coming soon, and brothers, you still have to go to the fields and work hard on the planting!"

"The wages are five hundred coins a month, with four days off each month. I work four hours a day, and lunch is provided by the workshop."

This is even more serious.

"Five hundred coins, that's half a tael of silver!"

"That's six ounces of silver a year! Good God! Six ounces of silver includes food!"

Some people with good eyesight have quietly slipped away from the crowd and lined up at the gate of Shen's courtyard.

"Also, to celebrate the completion of the workshop, we will hold a banquet in five days! Then everyone in the village can come and have a drink!"

Shen Tang and Qin Wanwan set up a table at the entrance of the Shen family courtyard.

"Aunties in line, please don't make any noise. Please come up and tell us your name and age."

"Tang girl, I'm your Aunt Cuihua! Everyone knows I'm full of strength."

"What's your last name? How old are you?"

"My last name is Zhang. I'm thirty-four this year."

Qin Wanwan was writing on the side: Number one, Zhang Cuihua, 34 years old, strong.

The people at the back stretched their necks.

"Qian Jintao, 30 years old this year, can cook and farm!"

"Sun Yu Niang..."

Qin Wanwan wrote very quickly.

It can be said that almost all the women in Shenjia Village came.

By the time the last person had registered, it was almost dark.

Shenjia Village is not a big village, with only about a hundred households living there. However, there are more than eighty people who registered today.

It seems that half of them need to be eliminated.

In the evening, Shen Tang took the list and found Shen Dashan and his wife, as well as Aunt Guihua and others who were left at home, to discuss the people on the list.

When selecting people for the workshop, they first look for people who are honest and hardworking. After Shen Tang stated his requirements, the Liu family members quickly narrowed down the scope.

"Sister Sun is an honest person."

"Madam Wang is from the north and is an excellent noodle cook!"

Finally, forty-eight people were finalized.

Some people are responsible for the sedimentation of the wood ash, some are responsible for boiling the lard, and those with strong strength are responsible for beating...

In addition, Shen Tang also selected three cooks to be responsible for the employees' meals.

Everyone who has registered has been like an ant on hot pan these past two days.

Just waiting for Shen Tang to post the announcement.

"I'm coming!"

Three days later, early in the morning, Shen Tang brought Wanwan out to post notices.

I didn't expect that there were people waiting outside the workshop so early.

"Aunties, you are here so early."

As Shen Tang spoke, he and Qin Wanwan used glue to stick the notice on the wall.

"Now that all the aunts are here, I will start reading. If you haven't come yet, please tell each other. Those who have reported their names will stay for a while."

"Zhang Cuihua, Sun Yu Niang..."

"My name is on it! My name is on it!"

"Boss, I've been chosen!"

Shen Tang would call out a name three times, and every time a name was called out, someone in the crowd would shout out joyfully.

After Shen Tang announced the last name, some people in the crowd were happy while others were worried.

"Don't worry, aunties who weren't chosen. We need to buy groceries for the workshop, and we'll prioritize buying from the aunties who weren't chosen."

In the crowd, the complexion of the woman who was not selected also improved slightly.

"Don't worry, Tang girl. My dishes are even more delicious than that young lady's."

The crowd dispersed, and Shen Tang took out a wooden sign from the basket he was carrying.

"Aunties, this is your work badge. Your name is written on it, and your name is also engraved on the bottom of the badge."
