There is a newly opened inn. A few days ago, Yazi went to Ye Town to sell straw sandals and took a look.
People in their village rarely go out of the village, and some don't even go to town once for several months.
So they know very little about the outside world.
The village chief only thought that Song Qiu and the others were from the inn in Crescent Bay.
Of course, it will be soon.
Hearing that he was looking for someone to make quilts, and it was a little girl, the village chief felt a little wary.
If this scarred man came alone, he would never dare to respond.
"I can find two who are good at needlework. I wonder what the girl is going to do?"
Seeing that the village chief agreed, Song Qiu said happily: "I estimate that I will make a bed for about ten people. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to do it at our inn?"
When the village chief heard this, he was a little hesitant.
A carriage has arrived in the village to find someone to make bedding, and you have to follow them, so you don’t feel at ease!
But the people in the village would definitely want to do a job that could make money. If he just refused, wouldn't he lose the opportunity to make money to the villagers?
After thinking for a while, he asked Song Qiu to wait, then walked into the first house in the village, and then went to the next two houses.
After a while, the three women and their respective men came over together.
The village chief smiled, "People in our village seldom interact with outsiders. Since we want to go out with you to do work, is it convenient to ask them to send men to you?"
Song Qiu understood when people were wary and responded with a smile.
I wanted to invite the three women to get on the carriage, but the three women waved their hands and refused, and followed their men behind.
Song Qiu then asked the carriage to drive slower and match their speed.
Moreover, on the trail, these people walked faster than the carriage, so there was no need to make do with them.
It's about ten miles away, and it takes less than half an hour to walk at a long pace.
Seeing that they were brought to the new inn here in Crescent Bay, the villagers immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They just wanted to work hard.
They really work, they do it honestly, they get paid for their work, and they are practical!
It was still quite a while before dark. It was bright inside the inn, and the three women rolled up their sleeves and started to work.
Song Qiu vacated a room upstairs and asked them to work there. He explained to them the fabric matching first.
The cotton bladder and quilt cover should be separated for easy removal and washing.
It's hot now, so it's not troublesome to do it. The cotton liner is not particular. Just fill it with cotton of one color and sew it on. You don't need to fill it with too much cotton, but the quilt cover needs to be uniform, with the bottom white and the surface blue or cyan.
Making the mattress for the bed is even simpler, just fill it with a little cotton.
Of course, the wages are also clearly stated. A bed is made for ten cents.
If you are very handy, making two beds in one day is not a problem.
In this way, there are still twenty coins a day.
The three women were very satisfied with the price. They divided the quilts between them, and each of them could get dozens of coins after finishing the work.
When I went downstairs, I saw that the three men had not gone back and were not idle either. They were honest and honest. They watched Du Chuanfu and the others cleaning the ground in front of the inn, so they also followed and helped.
Song Qiu looked funny. After thinking about it, he simply went up and asked them if they knew how to build a thatched shed.
How many farm men don't know how to build a thatched shed?
They also have thatch at home.
Song Qiu asked them to help build three thatched shacks. They also bought their thatched huts, as well as branches and boards, all included, and gave them 180 Wen for the three shacks.
Divided up, each one costs sixty cents. It can be set up in less than a day, so it’s not cost-effective.
As soon as the decision was made, the three of them went back to pick out thatch in a hurry.
After working for most of the next day, three thatched sheds stood neatly on the right side of the inn.
The gate to the backyard of the inn on the left hand side leads to the stables.
Du Chuanfu and Meng Chaoqun went to Yezhen early in the morning, and they soon arrived twenty miles away.
I went to Ye Town to buy ready-made beds, tables and benches, wardrobes, round tables, bathtubs, etc. for the side rooms. I also bought rice, noodles, oil, salt, etc. I also bought a lot of pots, bowls and chopsticks.
By the way, I watched the carpenter carve the signboard written by Song Qiu himself. Just like the Songshan Inn, it has round and simple fonts, and the wooden plaque is also made of simple logs.
As soon as he got the sign back, Song Qiu touched it, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and immediately asked them to hang it up.
The inn has been renovated from top to bottom. Not only the upstairs rooms have been rearranged, but the lobby and backyard have also been rearranged. Everything is clean and tidy.
The original signboard with four characters "Heifeng Inn" was burned as firewood, and the new signboard was put up, with the four characters "Crescent Inn" shining in the sunlight.
The poles protruding from the eaves were hung with newly sewn cloth flags, with two large characters "Song Ji" written in black on a red background, fluttering in the wind, majestic.
Meng Chaoqun is the shopkeeper of Crescent Inn, Ma Liang greets carriages and horses, and Du Chuanfu temporarily takes over Luo Daquan's job as a waiter.
Song Qiu had to work in the kitchen first, and there was also a tea shed.
Five people are not enough at the moment, and they will be on track in two days. Song Qiu also plans to ask Du Chuanfu to rush back so that he can pick up the Zhong family, but one person will be missing.
After much thought, Song Qiu decided that he still had to hire someone.
It was a familiar experience, and Jiang and the other women helped make the bedding, and they were quite practical in their work.
Song Qiu saw this, and after comprehensive consideration, he invited Jiang and Liu to do the work.
Like Yuan Hua and his wife, they get up early to work every day, have dinner and go back to work after work. Food and accommodation can be provided, but both of them are willing to go back and forth every day. The tentative salary for a month is 500 Wen, but it will depend on the situation later.
Certainly.
The two people's work was arranged like this. Mrs. Liu, who had better food and lunch, would help in the kitchen, while Mrs. Jiang worked in the tea shed. At the moment, she asked Aling to take care of her. When Mrs. Zhong and others came, Mrs. Wu would be asked to stay outside.
After all, the tea shed has its own account book, and all the money collected every day has to be recorded to the shopkeeper at night.
Therefore, you must have at least one person in charge of collecting money.
The other woman, Mrs. Xiao, did not invite me because she had to be busy at home and could not come to work every day for a month.
Everything was arranged properly, and when the iron was hot, Song Qiu made some calculations, decided on a good day, set off the firecrackers, and had a good start!
On the first day that Crescent Inn opened, Song Qiu prepared not many dishes, but just fine ones so that they could showcase the unique characteristics of Song Ji.
When I came out, I was already prepared, so I brought two jars of bean paste and dried chili peppers.
Of course, there are vermicelli.
The first night, Song Qiuxian stir-fried the sauces and made red oil. The hot and sour noodles from the tea shed were also indispensable.
After working hard all morning, I set off firecrackers, had breakfast, and waited for guests to arrive before taking a break.
A new inn was newly opened, and Song Qiu felt a little nervous.
If you don't get off to a good start on the first day of opening, it will be very damaging to your motivation.
Fortunately, God bless us. Just after we passed, there were pedestrians passing by in the direction of Yezhen. Seeing a tea shed here, they stopped to drink tea and rest.
It's mid-May, the weather is getting brighter, the sun rises early, and it's already a bit hot.
The tea shed has prepared some ice cream. It’s the first day and we have plenty of food to eat.
Cool drinks include herbal tea, ice cold shrimp, and mung bean paste.
Cool foods include iced glutinous rice, mixed cold noodles, and mixed cold noodles.
For those who want to fill their stomachs, there are mung bean porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, hot and sour noodles, and rice porridge.
There are many varieties for you to choose from.
