Chapter 145 Give Another 5 Wen
"My daughter, isn't this a bit too much? We've already paid that much, there's no need to increase it more." Old Mrs. Lu said with concern.
Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "Mom, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. If they work hard, giving them more money will give them more motivation, right?"
"Besides, when we finish making the clothes, it will cost several taels to dozens of taels of silver. We can afford the fifty cents."
"Oh my god, even if one piece of clothing costs one tael of silver, then ten pieces would be ten taels!" Old Mrs. Lu calculated in her mind and was so happy that she almost died.
"Mom, we are not short of money now. I still have more than 10,000 taels of silver. Your daughter can buy you whatever you want." Lu Qianqian hugged Old Lady Lu's arm.
Mrs. Lu felt distressed and happy at the same time: "Mom knows you are capable, but we won't spend money carelessly. You have worked hard to earn this money, so if we have to spend it, we will spend it on you."
The next day, Old Mrs. Lu went to the cloth mill with great enthusiasm. The female workers there were all from the village, and she went to visit them one by one.
In a short while, Old Lady Lu found five of the best female workers at making clothes. Apart from the few people who embroidered in the embroidery room, these five people were the best at making clothes in the village.
Their needlework was not as good as that of Widow Luo, but they were all very good at sewing and mending clothes.
"This time Qianqian has found another good job for everyone. You are all good at making clothes. Qianqian said that in addition to the wages I give you every month, as long as you complete a piece of clothing, I will give you an extra fifty coins."
People who work in the cloth mill are really not tired. They are usually used to doing farm work, and dyeing cloth is not tiring for them at all.
In this way, they can still earn 500 coins every month, which is something they had never dared to imagine before.
But now there is one more job, making clothes. What's so difficult about making clothes? Everyone in their family makes their own clothes.
"Arong, do you really want to give me an extra fifty cents for every piece of clothing I make?"
These five people all have a good relationship with Old Lady Lu, especially Zhou Hua. Her daughter is good at needlework, so she went to the embroidery room. She herself can't embroider, so she works in the cloth room.
Old Mrs. Lu was still very proud. After all, her daughter was very capable. "Of course it's true. Qianqian will teach you how to make the clothes. You will get fifty coins for each piece you complete."
The five people nodded, and the smiles on their faces deepened.
It will be a month soon, and they are all looking forward to the day when the monthly allowance will be distributed. After the money is distributed, the family can buy some meat for the children, and see if there is any extra money to buy some cloth to make new clothes for the children.
Now everyone has a goal to pursue, and as long as they work hard, they can live a good life.
"Auntie, I heard from Hongling and the others that they can sell the defective cloth to us at a low price. Is that true?" A younger woman asked Old Lady Lu.
Old Mrs. Lu heard about this from Hongling and Yangxue. There are a lot of fabrics being dyed and woven in the cloth mill every day. Although everyone is familiar with the work, there are still some fabrics that are dyed badly.
My daughter said that the people who work in their house are not eligible to buy it, and this is also a welfare for these people.
To be honest, when Old Lady Lu heard Hongling and the others say this, she somewhat disagreed. Those cloths were very beautiful, and if they were sold, although they could not be sold for several hundred coins, a hundred coins would still be fine.
However, since Qianqian only sold it to these workers for ten cents, Mrs. Lu felt reluctant to part with it.
She also understood in her heart that everyone has their own ideas. Qianqian paid them such high wages and provided them with such good benefits. If these people still did not work hard for her daughter, Mrs. Lu would definitely not keep them.
She would not give in to them just because they were from the same village. These things belonged to her daughter, and she could not let her daughter suffer any loss.
"Yes, ten cents for one zhang. Only the servants in our family can buy it at this price. But each person can only buy one horse per month."
A piece of cloth is ten zhang long, which is enough to make two or three sets of clothes. If it is made for a child, it can make five or six sets.
What Lu Qianqian meant was that anyone who worked as a helper at home could buy it, but there were no restrictions.
Old Mrs. Lu thought about it and told Jialan that everyone could buy one horse per month. If the quantity was really unlimited, then if someone took advantage of the loophole, bought one horse from them for ten cents and sold it outside, wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage?
After hearing what Old Lady Lu said, the others didn't care, because one piece of cloth could be used to make several sets of clothes.
Besides, the fabrics developed by Lu Qianqian are much better looking than those bought from fabric shops outside. If she makes one for her child, it will definitely be eye-catching.
"I'll go ask Qianqian when to start making clothes. You guys go ahead and get busy first."
After confirming the person, Old Mrs. Lu hurried to find Lu Qianqian.
When Lu Qianqian was found, she was planting new plants in the experimental field. These plants would be used tomorrow, so Lu Qianqian planned to prepare more.
Of course, the plants given out are different from the ones planted by Lu Qianqian herself, and they cannot reproduce. For example, after a honeysuckle is planted, if someone wants to branch it out and reproduce it, it is impossible, because the branches that are cut and planted will not sprout.
The same goes for saffron. Its growing environment needs to be relatively warm and humid, but not too shady or too hot, so it is very difficult to grow it. So Lu Qianqian changed its characteristics so that it can grow at any temperature.
The characteristics of several other plants are similar, and have all been changed slightly by Lu Qianqian.
Old Mrs. Lu wiped the sweat off Lu Qianqian’s face distressedly, “If there is anything, just let Jia Lan and the others do it, and don’t do it yourself if there is anything.”
The old lady has now gotten used to being served by maids. Seeing how hard her daughter works, she must have thought of asking other people to do the job. Since they were bought by maids with money, of course she would let them do the work.
Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "I can't let them do this, I have to do it myself. It's only one o'clock, and it will be ready soon."
Old Mrs. Lu also knew that they couldn't help much with planting.
"Qianqian, I have found people to make clothes for you. There are five people in total. Is that enough?" asked Old Mrs. Lu.
"That's enough. Let's try to make one first, and then add more people when we become proficient."
"Okay, they'll still be working in the cloth shop these days. Once you're done here, they'll start making clothes."
After talking for a while, Mrs. Lu left the experimental field.
