Sun Chun's jars were ready, and Shen Wan and others made two hundred jars of chili sauce each and sent them to the kimchi shop for sale.
This flavored chili sauce has been on the shelf for two days with no one paying attention, so Shen Wan thought of a way and sent some to Zhaixinglou. She asked shopkeeper Zhao to deliver these three flavors of chili sauce to each table of guests. Serve such a small plate.
After the guests had eaten, they were full of praises and immediately wanted to order more. Shopkeeper Zhao told them that this sauce was only given as a gift and could not be ordered individually. If the guests like it, they can go to the shop in Andinghou to buy it.
The sauce was only delivered for one day, but Shen Ganma's chili sauce became famous. Within two days, the chili sauce was sold out. The students who bought the most were the students of Qingyun Academy.
Shen Wan asked Sun Chun to make more pickle jars and jars in preparation for mass production.
This large-scale production naturally requires the recruitment of workers, but it is not good for workers to always come in and out of the village. The workers are no better than maids and servants, and they do not sign a contract, so they still have a certain degree of safety when they come in and out of the village. Hidden danger.
Shen Wansi thought about it and decided to build a factory near the villa. She happened to have land.
After looking around, Shen Wan decided to build two factories and a row of dormitories on a field five hundred meters away from Lishan Villa, one to produce kimchi and the other to produce her flavored chili sauce.
When the factory started to be built, Shen Ming's appointment order also came down. Without any surprise, he entered the Hanlin Academy as a editor. Although he was only a sixth-grade official, he often stayed with the emperor and was promoted and raised his salary. Still very fast.
The day for his return to his hometown was also set, and it was set on the tenth day of March. Shen Wan prepared two large carts of things for him. In addition to the four official officials assigned to him by the court, Shen Wan also hired four martial arts masters for him. His attendant gave him two thousand taels of silver notes.
After sending Shen Ming away, Shen Wan, whose pregnancy reaction was much better, began to focus on her career.
Twenty days later, the factory was built and ready to recruit people.
However, there was no village near her villa, so it was difficult to recruit people here, so she took Qiu Ju, Zhiqiu and Lu Wenqin to the city to recruit people.
So, they set up a long table at the entrance of Zhaixinglou and put up a sign recruiting talents. Because this street is the busiest and has the most people, and it is also next to the market. Many people go into the city to buy or sell things. Villagers from the east and west come and go.
Shen Wan sat at the door for a long time. Although there were many people staring at her recruiting sign, no one asked.
Those little girls and women carrying backpacks and wearing coarse clothes didn't even look at her recruiting sign.
Later she understood that people who could read her brand would not be able to do her job. People who could do her job would not be able to read her brand. After all, not everyone could read.
So she said to Qiu Ju: "Qiu Ju, tell us all the conditions and benefits for our recruitment."
"Are you recruiting workers?" A thin girl wearing coarse clothes and combing her hair came forward and asked timidly.
On the sign that stood, she could only recognize the word "recruiting workers". She didn't know what the conditions were for this person to recruit workers. If he didn't have any rice to cook at home, she didn't dare to touch the owner of the restaurant where she was washing dishes. If she goes again, she won't be shameless enough to ask anyone.
"Are you literate?" Shen Wan looked at the little girl and asked.
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't recognize them all, I only recognize a few."
"What's your name?" Shen Wan asked again.
"Li Xiu'er."
"We are indeed recruiting workers here, and the age range is between thirteen and forty years old. The workplace is about ten miles outside the city, and they are for catering. The monthly salary is two taels of silver, and if you are not late for a month, you will still have two taels of silver. A perfect attendance award, and a year-end bonus of four taels of silver at the end of the year, which can provide room and board, but for accommodation, one hundred taels of accommodation fee will be deducted from the monthly salary."
In fact, Shen Wan was not short of the one hundred cents, she just deducted the one hundred cents accommodation fee so that the workers would not have to stay in the hotel even though they lived not far away because they included food and lodging.
Xiu'er didn't hear what Shen Wan said after that. She only heard that the monthly payment was two taels of silver, and she froze.
Where can I find work for two taels of silver a month these days?
"I'm fourteen, can I do that?" Xiu'er looked at Shen Wan with her big, sunken eyes because of her thinness.
Shen Wan smiled and said: "Of course you can."
"Then you recruit me!" Xiu'er looked a little excited.
"Let's register first."
Shen Wan asked Xiu'er some more questions before asking Lu Wenqin to register her and let her report to Izumo Villa the next day.
