Chapter 180 Mosquito Repellent Repellent Repellent Workshop Starts Construction

The mosquito-repellent incense matter was settled like this.

Da Mao from Erfang's family is responsible for leading Ermao Sanmao and Xiaoju to pick mugwort leaves and pine cones, and the price is the same as other people in the village.

Two brothers, Jin and Yin, were responsible for the process of kneading mosquito-repellent incense, and were paid 800 Wen a month.

When the two brothers heard that so much money had been returned, they immediately said that they would do a good job. They both looked like they couldn't wait to start now.

Chen Changsheng considered that people have been land-oriented since ancient times, and this was also the case in the Dasheng Dynasty.

If the brother-in-law delays the farm work in the fields and affects the harvest because he makes mosquito coils for himself, and cannot pay the grain tax, that is absolutely unacceptable.

She only asked her two brothers-in-law to do the mosquito repellent work for half a day every day, and the remaining half to deal with the farm work in the old house.

The guidance and demoulding of mosquito-repellent incense requires people with dexterity and dexterity. Daju Erju and other women in the village are tentatively scheduled to do this work.

Chen Changsheng ordered another 200 molds from Liu, and each mold was priced at twenty cents, and Liu agreed.

As long as the materials and molds are in place, we can produce 300 trays a day.

The location for making mosquito coils is currently the open space next to the pepper field in my backyard. It is 50 to 60 square meters, which is enough for stacking and drying mosquito coils. It is only in the open air. If the weather is good, there is no problem. I am afraid of rain.

It seems that building a special mosquito-repellent incense workshop is also on the agenda.

This matter is not difficult, but if you want to expand the area of ​​your home, you have to find Uncle Li Zheng to buy another piece of land.

Seeing that both the elder and the younger family members were making money, but Cui was the only one left without any arrangements, Cui couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Ms. Cui thought that if she was left as an idler, she would definitely be disliked by her mother-in-law if she could not bring any income to the family.

Mrs. Chen asked Cui to relax and told her to do things well at home, which was also considered a great achievement.

After everything was finalized at the old house, Chen Changsheng returned home. Aunt Ma was already waiting for her at the door.

"Dafu Niang, you are back from Fucheng, are things going well?"

Aunt Ma went home from the brick kiln factory to cook at noon, and she heard Dongmei say that Sixi's house was very lively, and it was probably Chen Changsheng who was back.

Chen Changsheng said, "It's going well. Just wait, I have something for you."

She took out a small bag of snacks from the main room and handed it to Aunt Ma, "I brought some food from Fucheng for Tiedan and Dongmei's children."

Seeing the exquisite packaging of the snacks, Aunt Ma waved her hands and said, "I will never accept such expensive snacks."

Chen Changsheng forced the snacks into Aunt Ma's hand and added, "You have worked hard these days helping me take care of the brick kiln, but please don't be polite to me."

She immediately changed her words and asked, "How is things going at the brick kiln factory? Is everything going well?"

"Everything is fine. The masters who teach brick making are very attentive and teach step by step. The kiln workers are not lazy, and they all learn well."

Chen Changsheng asked the children to prepare a bucket of mung bean soup for noon and cool it with mountain spring water in advance. She and Aunt Ma carried it and talked as they walked to the brick kiln factory.

kiln factory.

The workers were each doing their own work, collecting soil, kneading clay, making slabs, drying slabs, stacking slabs, loading kilns, and lighting fires. Each item had a clear division of labor and was in good order.

When the kiln workers saw Chen Changsheng coming, they all greeted her.

"Everyone has worked hard. It's such a hot day. Let's drink a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat."

Everyone gathered around and queued up to receive the mung bean soup.

Chen Changsheng also scooped a bowl for himself.

After drinking the mung bean soup, everyone felt less tired and their whole bodies felt cooler.

Chen Changsheng started walking around the kiln. She picked up an adobe and looked at it. The corners were regular and pressed tightly, and the adobe had sharp corners.

The kiln shed is also filled with adobe bricks, which are then loaded into the kiln by stackers after drying.

Finally, at the entrance of the kiln, there is a huge stove, into which the kiln workers are constantly adding firewood.

Firing the kiln is the most critical step. The kiln worker must accurately control the temperature and keep the fire burning in the kiln for seven consecutive days.

In the entire brick-making process, the hardest part is the kiln workers who fire the fire. The temperature at the kiln entrance is as high as 50 or 60 degrees Celsius. The heat wave is brutal, and the midsummer is even more challenging.

Aunt Ma wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "This kiln was filled and sealed a few days ago. It will be out of the kiln in two days when the fire is out."

Chen Changsheng nodded. Fortunately, he invited Aunt Ma to help, so that he could worry less.

"Aunt Ma, the bricks will be fired soon this time, and we can almost prepare for the next round of firing in the kiln. I'm thinking of firing bricks from both kilns at the same time in the next round..."

Aunt Ma said suspiciously, "We only have fifteen workers to operate two kilns at the same time. If we open two kilns at the same time, we may not have enough manpower."

"Yes, so the kiln factory still needs to recruit more people."

"How many people will we recruit?" Aunt Ma asked Chen Changsheng, waiting for her to make a decision.

"It's up to you, Auntie, to decide how many people to recruit and which people to recruit. I believe in you. If there are any reliable people among these fifteen kiln workers, they can give priority to their recommendation. In addition, the management will be more complicated when there are more people. I I’ll give you another hundred cash as wages.”

After finally finding a good manager, Chen Changsheng will never let the other party suffer. As long as the wages are paid, he will be more attentive to his work.

When Aunt Ma heard that she still needed to process money, her eyes widened and her breathing became a little short.

Now I have received 600 coins. If I add more money, it will be 700 coins.

With seven hundred coins, would he become the person who earns the most in the village?

Chen Changsheng looked at Aunt Ma's reaction and said with a smile, "You should get this money. As long as the person who works for me works hard, I will never treat him badly."

Aunt Ma kept it in mind, and if she followed this advice when recruiting workers, there would be no one who would not work.

Everything is going well at the brick kiln factory.

Chen Changsheng went to Li Zheng's house to talk about buying the land.

Chen Lizheng immediately patted his chest and promised to get the land deed done the next day and not delay her important event.

Soon it was dinner time.

Since the meal at noon was good, the mother and son did not do much farm work in the afternoon, and they did not feel too hungry. Moreover, the weather was hot now, so they cooked a simple meal of brown rice porridge with wild pickles for dinner.
