The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 86

Xu Yin didn't plan to sell the first batch of candies, so she had someone pack them into small portions and distribute them later as New Year's benefits.

Seeing the rough oiled paper used for packaging, Xu Yin couldn't help but think of bagasse.

The bagasse after pulp removal is a very good raw material for papermaking. It is easy to boil and bleach. It can be used to make cultural paper and household paper.

When Yan Kejin heard that bagasse has this function, what are you waiting for!Immediately send people to build a paper workshop.

In this way, what is most lacking is not raw materials, nor various auxiliary materials, but short-term labor.

The population of the Southern Man was not as large as that of the Central Plains, and most of them were mountain farmers. Regardless of seasons, they lived in the mountains obediently, planting and eating as much as they could.

Those who can think of coming to the city to do part-time jobs are usually more flexible in mind, or they just can't live on and need to seek another breakthrough.

With the rise of various workshops, the wages of day laborers have risen again and again.After hearing about the remote village, many people rushed to Fucheng to find a way out.

From them, Xu Yin seemed to see the wage earners who went south to Shencheng in the 90s and [-]s.

Once the population flows, many businesses will emerge.

In places where there are many short-term workers, stalls selling all kinds of food, housing rentals, and travel and transportation all follow suit.

After seeing the prosperity of Fucheng and witnessing the advent of high-yielding grains, the day laborers brought all kinds of publicity with them when they returned home for the New Year.

Xu Yin believes that after the new year, Fucheng will be more lively.

On the one hand, people will come to inquire about the news of high-yielding grains. If they see that it is true, they will naturally try their best to bring them back to their hometown to plant. Since then, the high-yielding grains have spread.

On the other hand, more people will come to the city looking for work.

Both workshops and mines need manpower. To put it bluntly, labor plays a decisive factor in the contribution of production value.

Xu Yin stepped on the tail of the twelfth lunar month and opened a labor market at the south gate of Fucheng.

It is said that the market is a wooden shed, with various job recruitment information posted on the four wooden walls.A literate boy was specially sent to stand there to interpret the recruitment information for the illiterate folks.

The workshops under the Wangfu will need to hire a lot of people in the coming year. She asked the managers of each workshop to list the requirements for the positions that need to be added, and copied and posted them in the labor market.

Those who meet the requirements can go to the workshop for an interview.If you pass the interview, you will be able to work in the Wangfu workshop after the new year, and you can receive monthly money and enjoy benefits without signing a contract of sale.

Such treatment was unheard of before.

After hearing this, the people in Dongxian came here to look for work with a dubious attitude.

"Oh, big cow! You're here too?"

"I came here last month. I found a mixing job in the sugar factory. I have been paid for a month. This time I came with my cousin."

"Is it true? The palace recruits people, so there is no need to sign a death contract?"

"It's really unnecessary! Just sign a work contract, in case you don't work hard after receiving the monthly payment."

"Oh! Then I'll sign up too!"

"I'll sign up too!"

Many people went to the workshop under the Wangfu to sign up.

The smiling faces at the time of application seem to be lucky!

One by one, they rushed to tell each other happily.

The reputation of the labor market in the south of the city has also become more and more loud.

During the New Year's Eve, anyone who comes to Fucheng, whether they are visiting relatives or friends, or trying their luck in desperation, can't help but wander here.

The labor shortage in workshops has been alleviated.

Xu Yin believes that after the start of work next year, all businesses will be on the right track.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and she has been busy going to silkworm houses and carpentry workshops recently to give out red envelopes to the masters.

This year, only these two workshops have been in operation since they were built, and because they have just opened for less than half a year, the pressure on the masters must be relatively high.

In order to appease them, the housekeeper specially asked the housekeeper to prepare a batch of red envelopes to reward silver, which is not only a New Year's benefit, but also a reward for working together to complete the giant juicer. Each person gave 20 taels of silver reward.

After receiving this heavy reward, the eyes of the master carpenters who followed Carpenter Cen to work in Baigui County, who left their hometown to work in Baigui County, were red-eyed.

If it wasn't for Xu Yin's quick flash, they would all kneel down for her excitedly.

"Old Cen, you are not kind. Before you came here, you didn't say that there is such a good thing! Now my father's illness can be cured with money! Wuwuwu..."

"With this reward money, not to mention my family's debts to the clan can be paid off, and I can save a little to send my son to a private school."

Each family has its own difficulties, otherwise they wouldn't be too poor in a good year.

Carpenter Cen stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? I just said that my master and I are very kind, as long as the work is done well, the reward will not be less."

"When did you say there was a silver reward?"

"...Uh, didn't I say that? Maybe I forgot."

No, he didn't say it on purpose.

At first, they were worried that it would be in vain for them to be happy if they said it too early if they didn't reward silver in the follow-up.Now, wouldn't it be nice to have such a surprise for Chinese New Year?

All the carpenters: "..."

The honest old Cen has changed!

In any case, Carpenter Cen and his team thanked the host family gratefully, and embarked on the journey home for the New Year with smiles on their faces.

The road was full of wind and dust, and the fear when passing the strange mountain could not stop them from coming to Baigui County to work for the palace in the spring of the coming year.

In addition to the craftsmen, other workers in the workshop and mine also received a red envelope.

It's just that the amount is not as much as that of craftsmen: those who perform outstandingly usually get two taels; those who perform ordinary get five or six hundred cash, which is equivalent to receiving an extra month's wages.

There is a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and you can get an extra month's wages. Ordinary workers are also so happy that they have smiles on their faces.

The palace was cleaned and dusted inside and out, festive red lanterns were hung up, and all kinds of New Year's goods were fully prepared.

Xu Yin led the maids, after finishing the thick Laba porridge, they grinded the bean juice and made a batch of tofu.

Gypsum ordered tofu. Before she discovered the gypsum mine, she couldn't think of it.

Of course, if you like to eat old tofu, you can also order brine.

After simply refining the gypsum, the tender tofu is as white as jade and has a very tender taste.Cold salad or soup, but also soft tofu.

After making the tofu, there was still a lot of soy milk. She mixed the salty and sweet flavors, sent a copy to the study, and tasted it herself.

The mellow bean aroma, paired with pure white sugar, is sweet soy milk.

A spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of vinegar, and some chopped green onion and coriander. There are seaweed and shrimp skins from Qinbei in the house, and a little of each to enhance freshness and flavor. Sprinkle the boiling hot soybean milk into the bowl. When the soybean milk meets the vinegar, It seems that a flower has bloomed.This is the salty soy milk that is popular in Haicheng in later generations.

Xu Yin liked this one, but she didn't know which flavor the prince would like.

But according to her understanding of him, he probably likes salty soy milk.

Sure enough, after a stick of incense, the waiter in the study came back joltingly and said, the prince likes salty bean juice very much, and asked if there is any tomorrow morning?

If you want to eat, of course you can, and if you don’t, you can make it again.

It is not easy to make tofu, but it is not easy to grind soybean milk and cook soybean milk?
