The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

The guano workshop adopts a water flow line operation. Those who screen the guano screen the guano, those who turn and dry the guano turn and dry the guano, and those who pack the guano are responsible for the same process.

After a period of time, they will be rotated to allow different people to work in different positions.

Job rotation helps to pass on knowledge, improve productivity, enrich work, reduce boredom, stimulate work interest, promote employee cooperation, reduce employee friction, and help improve operations.

The workshop is not afraid that the workers will learn to work on their own. The core of the workshop is the raw materials. Even if the method is learned, it will be useless without the raw materials.

Sun Dingnan led a group of people around the workshop, carefully introduced the production process, and required strict control of every production link.

From raw materials to product packaging, we inspect and supervise every step, which will ensure that the guano from every pit becomes qualified guano fertilizer after fermentation and composting.

Sun Dingnan said, "Master, Mr. Wang, the workshop has been busy these days, working day and night to produce so much fertilizer."

After hearing Sun Dingnan's introduction, Sun Shan and County Magistrate Wang nodded in satisfaction.

Sun Shan discovered that putting Sun Dingnan in the workshop to gain experience was of great benefit.

Although the hard work made him look much older, he also learned a lot of knowledge. If Sun Dingnan were to manage the guano workshop, he would definitely be a qualified CEO.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "That's right. If we work according to this process from now on, we will definitely produce enough guano for the people of Yuanlu before the spring plowing."

County Magistrate Wang was also very satisfied. He stroked his beard and said appreciatively, "Manager Sun's introduction was very detailed. After this tour, I now understand the process of the guano workshop. Especially seeing the warehouse filled with sacks of guano fertilizer, I feel much more at ease."

I didn't expect that Lord Sun's so-called nominal prince was actually quite capable and managed the entire workshop in an orderly manner.

According to the current progress, the amount of guano fertilizer before spring plowing will only increase, not decrease.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Wang felt much more at ease. He was about to see a return on the money he had invested.

Regardless of whether you make money or not, you must first recover the invested funds.

The Wang family’s money didn’t come from the wind, so it can’t be wasted like this.

Sun Dingnan was delighted to receive recognition from the two big bosses in Yuanlu County.

I was especially happy to see County Magistrate Wang so satisfied.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately I didn't disappoint the master.

If I only report to the master, I will be criticized at most if I do something wrong. But now there is also County Magistrate Wang, I must be extremely alert to deal with him and not let the master lose face.

It took an hour to walk around, stopping and starting, and listening to the introduction, which took quite a while.

At this time, everyone's stomach was rumbling and they had to hurry to eat.

The guano workshop has a canteen that provides two meals a day: breakfast and lunch.

If you don’t eat a full breakfast, you won’t have the energy to work in the morning. If you don’t eat a full lunch, you’ll have even less energy to work in the afternoon.

As for dinner, it will not be served.

Because the workers in the guano workshop are all from Da Niao Village, they usually go home after work in the afternoon. Unless the weather is bad, they will spend the night in the workshop's large dormitory.

Two meals a day are provided in limited quantities and at limited times. The daily wage is 20 cents, and the work is from six in the morning to six in the afternoon.

Excluding the one hour for breakfast and lunch, it was a full eleven hours of work.

Even with such arduous work, many people from other villages are envious and jealous of it.

He would come to Da Niao Village from time to time to inquire about news, and give gifts to the village chief from time to time, hoping that he could speak well of him to Manager Sun, so that he could be the first to come to Da Niao Village to work when recruitment came.

When Sun Shan and his companions arrived at the cafeteria, the workers had already gone to work. Seeing the busy men, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Having work to do means having income, having income means having food to eat, and having food to eat means everyone has hope.

It shuttles back and forth like this, full of vitality and a bright future.

When Xiao Yazi saw Sun Shan, he hurried over and called out respectfully, "Sir, you're here?"

Then he said, "The food is ready. Please sit here, sir. I made fried chicken today. It smells so good. I'm sure you will like it."

The cooks in the workshop are Xiao Yazi's grandfather and grandmother, as well as two widows recommended by the village chief. However, Xiao Yazi also comes here to help whenever he has time.

In fact, it's not just Xiao Yazi. The villagers of Da Niao Village would also come to the workshop to work from time to time, and the men of Da Niao Village would often be invited to work, along with the elderly, the weak, women and children.

After not seeing him for more than half a year, his little teeth have opened a lot. Although he is still thin and weak, his eyes are full of light.

Sun Shan sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "Good Yazi, how have you been lately? Are you used to Grandpa and Grandma working in the kitchen?"

Without needing a reply, Grandpa and Grandma immediately came out, bowed to Sun Shan, and said eagerly, "Sir, we are all fine. We really enjoy cooking and working."

I was really afraid that Sun Shan would think they didn’t like cooking and would fire them.

The other widows in the kitchen also hurried out and said loyally, "Sir, we are very happy to cook and we are happy to work here."

Seeing how nervous they were, Sun Shan couldn't help but reassure them, "Okay, just get used to working here. Work hard from now on."

The cooks were delighted and immediately agreed: "Yes, sir, we will do our best."

Today we have fried chicken, fried cabbage with bacon, mushroom chicken soup, and some sweet and sour side dishes.

Only big shots like Sun Shan can enjoy these two simple meat dishes.

The group had been busy for a long time and were really hungry.

Especially County Magistrate Wang, who ate so voraciously, like a starving ghost, as if others were snatching food from him.

When he was half full, County Magistrate Wang finally slowed down and said with admiration, "Sir, I never thought a simple fried chicken dish could be so delicious. Haha, Grandpa and Grandma Yazi's cooking skills are quite good."

Standing aside and serving Sun Shan, Xiao Yazi happily thanked him, "Thank you for the compliment, my grandfather and grandmother are the best at making fried chicken."

Sun Shan also thought the fried chicken was excellent, very sweet and flavorful. But it was mainly because he was hungry, which made the dish even more delicious.

County Magistrate Wang finished most of the fried chicken by himself. Fortunately, Sun Shan didn't have a big appetite, so he was able to eat his fill.

After eating and drinking his fill, Sun Shan decided to climb up the mountain to see the big pit of bird droppings.

The guano workshop is divided into two parts, one is the workshop area and the other is the guano pit area.

The workers first take the bird droppings to the workshop and then process them.

After visiting and cooking, Sun Shan had to go to the back mountain to see the big pit of bird droppings.

When County Magistrate Wang heard that they had to climb a mountain, he wanted to die.

I hurried to Aojiawan and inspected the factory. I was busy for most of the day and was exhausted.

He shook his head and said, "Sir, I won't go up. I'll just wait for you in the workshop."

Sun Shan glanced speechlessly at County Magistrate Wang, who was lying down like Ge You after eating and drinking.

I wanted to say thank you, but in the end I didn't say anything.

Forget it. County Magistrate Wang is a good-for-nothing. It doesn’t matter whether he’s there or not. I won’t go.
