Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

At dinner time, the table not only had the braised pork trotters and pork elbows ordered by Lixia, but also the sweet and sour fish that Zheng Qingming loved to eat.

She cooked a total of eight dishes today, including dishes that everyone in the family likes.

The meal was extremely lively. Old Man Zheng finally couldn't help himself and asked Qingming and Lixia how they did in the exam.

This time is different from the last county examination. If they pass the county examination, they will get nothing, but if they pass the prefectural examination, they will have the status of a student.

The status of a Tongsheng may not mean much in other places, but it is very important in their Wangjia Village.

Over the years, their village has only produced one scholar, the village chief Wang Dehai.

Zheng Qingming was not modest. He felt that he had done quite well in the exam.

There are many questions in it, all of which he and Shu Huai had done together.

"Master, I think I did OK on the test this time. I should have no problem passing the prefectural exam."

After hearing what his eldest grandson said, Old Man Zheng felt relieved.

His eldest grandson would not have said such a thing if he was not sure.

"Hahaha, great, great, our Zheng family is going to have a student too, haha."

Everyone looked at Lixia again, and Lixia stiffened. "Uh, well, I, anyway, I wrote it down, but I don't know what happened in the end."

Everyone knew as soon as they heard it that he didn’t do well in the exam.

But Lixia is only 8 years old this year, so it is normal that she failed the exam.

In fact, Mr. Fang only planned to let them take the county exam first. The prefectural exam was to let them get a feel for it in advance and see if they passed it later.

Having a child in the family who passes the imperial examination is enough to make the whole family happy.

The next step is to wait for the results to come out. Except for Zheng Xiaoman, everyone else in the family is somewhat anxious.

It’s not that Zheng Xiaoman isn’t worried, it’s just that she has been too busy lately and has no time to worry.

At the end of the month, when Manager Cao came to give her a share of the hot pot base, he also told her that Cao Jun wanted 3,000 kilograms of sausages.

Zheng Xiaoman's workshop had not been completed yet when the order suddenly came in, which made her a little flustered.

What's more, he needs it urgently, and it would be best if 3,000 kilograms of sausages could be produced within a month.

You can't just push away the business now that it's here, so Zheng Xiaoman quickly gathered all the women in the family and started working overtime to stuff sausages.

There were not enough pigs at home, so we went to the village to buy some.

Later, when there was a shortage of manpower at home, she asked the aunts who had a good relationship with her family to come and help.

After receiving the letter, Qiu Mei and Cui Hua came to help her every day.

Of course Zheng Xiaoman would not use her girlfriends for nothing, she paid them the same salary as other people every day.

Cuihua and the others did not refuse and happily accepted it.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. The men were responsible for slaughtering the pigs, the older ones were responsible for washing the casings and cutting the meat, and the young wives were responsible for enema.

Zheng Xiaoman and her colleagues were responsible for drying the sausages. They hung all the sausages they had stuffed under the eaves with sticks.

Fortunately, the workshop was built soon after, and everyone moved in to work.

By mid-May, this batch of sausages was finally ready.

There are a total of 3,000 kilograms of sausages, 1,500 kilograms of each flavor.

She asked Manager Cao to come and take the sausages away, and then she would pay everyone their wages.

I had agreed with everyone before that, except for the servants in their family, the wages of the aunts who came to help would be the same as the male workers, which was twenty cents a day.

Zheng Xiaoman came back with two baskets of copper coins in advance, and she asked the servants to bring a table over.

"Aunties, please come over here."

Everyone was cleaning the workshop, but when they heard Zheng Xiaoman talking, they put down what they were doing and came over.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard in the past month. Without your help, we would not be able to catch up with this business.

Now that the sausages have been shipped out, it’s time to pay the workers.”

When they heard that they were going to get paid, all the aunts became excited.

This is the first time in their lives that someone pays them.

Zheng Xiaoman continued, "We agreed before that the daily wage is 20 wen. We worked for 22 days in total, so the wages are 440 wen, right?"

Although the aunts below cannot count, they remember how many days they have worked every day.

As soon as Zheng Xiaoman said the number, everyone started to say, "Yes, that's right, it's this number."

"Okay then, whoever's name I call out next will come up and collect the money."

Zheng Xiaoman opened the book, "Aunt Zhao, 440 Wen, come up to receive the money and put your fingerprints on it."

"Aunt Li..."

Zheng Xiaoman read out the names one by one, "Cuihua, 20 days in total, 400 Wen."

Cuihua walked up with a smile, and Zheng Xiaoman also smiled and put four hundred dollars in her hand.

"This is 400 wen. If it's ok, please put your fingerprint here."

"Oh, okay," Cuihua responded crisply and pressed her thumb on her name.

After pressing her fingerprints, she said with emotion: "Oh, I never thought that I would be able to make money on my own one day."

Zheng Xiaoman looked at her and said, "Okay, keep the money. You've worked so hard for so many days, this is what you deserve."

Cuihua shook her head proudly, then went down happily with the money in her hands.

Then it was Qiumei's turn, and they all came up with a smile on their faces to receive the money.

After everyone's wages had been paid, Zheng Xiaoman looked at everyone and said.

“Everyone knows now that I want to open a sausage factory, and I will definitely need to recruit people in the future.

I have seen the performance of the aunts these days. If you still want to continue working and earning money, you can sign up with me later.

The workshop will officially open in two days and everyone can come to work.

The monthly salary is 600 wen, and everyone can take two days off each month, and their salary will not be deducted for these two days. "

The aunts below didn't expect that they would be able to come to the workshop to work in the future. They thought it was only this time.

They can earn more than half a tael of silver a month, which is more than seven taels of silver a year. How can they earn so much money?

Besides, this is more than what their men earn, they would be stupid not to come.

An auntie immediately shouted, "I, I, I'm doing that now, what's the report?"

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said: "Yes, it's registration."

"Oh, yes, Xiaoman, I'll sign up now. When your workshop opens, you must find me."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely give priority to you."

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Where do you think I should report it?"

Zheng Xiaoman took out a notebook with a smile, "Aunt, what's your name?"

After that, the workshop will be formally managed, and you can no longer call everyone this aunt or that aunt.

The aunt was obviously stunned. "My name is Li Cui'e. Oh, it's been a long time since anyone called me by this name."

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the confusion on her face for a moment and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
