On the second day, Qingshan drove the donkey cart back to pull the remaining bamboo baskets. This time, there was no need to pay the big guys, just move the things to the cart and pull them away, so it didn't take much time.

He didn't leave immediately after loading the car, he was still thinking about what Jiang Ziyan explained yesterday.After returning to his home and having lunch, Qing Shan first cared about A Niang's health, whether she had taken her medicine on time, and then talked about embroidery work.

"Mother, do you know who in our village is good at embroidery and diligent in hands and feet?"

Aunt Li was half lying on the bed, and when her youngest son asked her, she said, "What are you doing asking about this, is it because your benefactor is going to do something important again?"

"Mother, you are so smart. I want to find someone to make a batch of gloves. I want to find someone who has good embroidery and is diligent. But these are things done by women in the village. I don't understand." It's quite a coincidence to see Ms. Xu's hands.

When Aunt Li heard that it was Jiang Ziyan who asked her to find someone, she hurriedly said, "Then let me tell you, remember that your Aunt Cui from Uncle Li De's family and his daughter-in-law Zhang Lan are all doing embroidery work." There is also the widow Xu at the front door, who is even better at craftsmanship and hardworking. Even though there are too many gossips in the village, life is not easy. There is also the little daughter-in-law of the Zhang family living behind, who also has a pair of clever hand……"

Qingshan wrote down the people his mother had mentioned one by one, and was going to come to ask one by one, if he would like to work for Mr. Lang, and pay the wages.

After walking around, it didn't take much trouble at all, because everyone he went to find readily agreed, and some even didn't even ask for their salary, and they seemed very happy, and told them to wait for the follow-up notice Then he left.

Qingshan had just left, and the families of these people were extremely happy.

Living in the house of Mrs. Xu in the front, she was very excited. The bamboo basket she took yesterday was sold for a lot of money. Today, another good thing came to her, and even her elderly mother-in-law couldn't get along with her smile. muzzle.

"Xiuzhen, you are tired, this family is thanks to you, otherwise life would be difficult."

"Mother, don't say that. Isn't our life getting better now? I think Jiang Xiaolang is a big deal. When I go, I must work hard and work hard. Serena and Xiaohu at home need to be taken care of by you. "

"Don't worry about that. Although I can't do heavy work with my old bones, I still have the strength to take care of my two precious grandchildren."

There is also a 15-year-old girl named Erya who lives in the west.There are many girls in Erya's family, and the second child is called Erya. She is so tall that she doesn't even have a proper name. She helped the family work as soon as she was sensible, and there are a few younger brothers and sisters below. I have already married her off to my brother in exchange for the bride price.

At this time, Erya was very happy, and her father, who had always looked down upon her, treated her a lot more pleasantly, and told her, "Erya, you must work harder when the time is over, it's rare that people will take a fancy to your embroidery work, you But you must not be lazy."

Er Ya obediently replied: "Father I know, don't worry."

Er Ya is still unmarried at this age, thanks to her great strength, not only can she do the embroidery work of the girl's house, but she can also work in the fields.She is a daughter-in-law who many people want to marry back home in several villages, so she doesn't worry about marrying at all.But her family has less labor force, and her parents want her to wait for her younger siblings to get older before letting her go.

……

Jiang Ziyan drew a few patterns of gloves, and designed several styles according to the fabric.Gloves with only palms are easier to make, but almost every family can sew such gloves, which is not uncommon, and it is very inconvenient to work and do things after wearing them, which does not meet the market he is investigating here.

Most of the people here mainly cultivate the land, and some of them go out to work, such as artisans and masons.There are squires, but not many.So the gloves he wants to make are made according to people of different jobs and classes, and they are five-fingered gloves.

He opened the encyclopedia and found the item of hand-sewing gloves, which introduced the production process of gloves in great detail.Jiang Ziyan couldn't help sighing, this can't be an encyclopedia at all, it's simply a treasure house of knowledge!

Jiang Ziyan searched for several materials, and ordered some pigskin. He was going to make some pigskin gloves, and selected some as thick and wear-resistant as possible according to the fabric.

When the preparations were completed, he asked Qingshan to call the female workers from the village to the town. Because there was no place for them, he could only arrange them in a supermarket that had not yet opened and let them rush to work as required.

Originally, Jiang Ziyan thought that they could take them home and make them, but then he remembered that he spent a lot of money buying these materials. If someone took the extra fabric back privately, he would not know, so he still thought it was fine and let them do it first. Run back and forth every day.

Although it was a bit hard, there was nothing he could do. He was still unable to arrange a place for them to stay, so he could only pay them more wages when the time came, and the rest would be discussed later.

The small glove workshop started quietly in this shop.

The seven or eight people Aunt Li introduced were all hard-working in the village, and the female celebrities did a good job, but in one day, they hurriedly made several pairs according to Jiang Ziyan's request.

There are some novel and simple patterns embroidered on it, and the stitches are more detailed.Qingshan is still the supervisor, and is responsible for settling their wages.

The wages are calculated according to the number of gloves. Gloves of different materials have different wages according to the degree of simplicity. According to the requirements, a pair of cotton gloves is ten yuan, and thread gloves are six yuan. I was slack for a while, and I was slower than others, and the wages I got in the end were not as much as others, so everyone worked very hard.

These days, who doesn't want to earn more money, the opportunity to make money is rare, and it is many times better than other physical labor, so no one thinks about being lazy, and they are all very dedicated.

On the first day, there were a few pairs of cotton gloves and a few pairs of other gloves that were more suitable for work.

It is winter now, and the price of cotton has risen a lot, but it is much lower than that of cotton-padded clothes and quilts. Jiang Ziyan bought some with the money, and tried to make cotton gloves first.The money in his hand now has been almost spent by him on purchases, so when the time comes for the opening and sales, it must be well arranged.

The cotton gloves that had just been made were delivered to Jiang Ziyan at dinner, and Jiang Ziyan held the gloves while looking at them and asked, "Qingshan, have everyone gone back?"

"Back to my lord, I've already gone back, if I didn't drive them away, they wouldn't want to leave!" If you stay for a while, you can make more pairs and earn more money.

"Well, you must strictly watch how long they work. Don't let them work for too long, especially at night. Don't let them go back too late. It gets dark early, and I'm afraid it's not safe on the road."

"Don't worry, sir, it's all right. They rented a bullock cart together and went back. They'll be all right."

"That's good. Are all the wages paid?"

"Send it, according to Langjun's instructions, check it once and it's closed now if there is no problem." Before Jiang Ziyan could ask any questions, Qingshan automatically turned on the report mode.

"Xu Niangzi did the most work today. Her female celebrity is fast and good. The second is Erya, a little girl. I didn't expect her hands and feet to be quite nimble. The others are similar."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, indicating that he understood.He looked at the cotton glove in his hand. Because of the fabric, the glove was a bit chubby after it was finished. There were a few simple patterns on it, and some white fluffy rabbit fur was added to the wrist. It looked pretty good. , It is very suitable for the ladies and ladies in the homes of the country gentlemen.

The other kind of gloves made of double-layer fabric are tight-fitting and fit the five fingers better. They are made of some elastic fabric and are suitable for people who go off work in winter. There are also a few pairs of half-finger gloves. Tight-fitting gloves with a thin layer of cotton, very light and not bulky, suitable for scholars to wear.

After making some of the first batch of gloves one after another, Jiang Ziyan did not sell them, but gave them away.

On the way back to the village at night, Ms. Xu and the others all smiled happily with the wages in their hands. Each of them bought a bullock cart and sat on it. The road was bumpy and staggered. My lady is so skillful, I earned fifty cash a day today, unlike me who is very clumsy and only took thirty cash."

In fact, it is already a very high price to get thirty cents a day for working outside, but it is indeed less than the fifty cents a day for Mrs. Xu.

Miss Xu didn't mean to show off at all, instead she said shyly: "I used to often embroider and sell things, today it may be because of my familiarity, after a while you will catch up with me. "She is very humble, and several people in the same industry also have a good impression of her.

Hearing this, Erya hurriedly said: "That's right, after a while, I will be able to catch up with Mrs. Xu!" Everyone laughed when he said such immature and confident words, although some people earn more and some earn more. People earn less, but at least they earn money, and everyone is very happy.

Er Ya earned forty Wen today, she was very happy, and she gave the money to her mother after returning home.Erya's parents were very happy. On the first day, they came back with [-] Wen, and for the first time killed a chicken for her to celebrate.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Within a few days, Wang Xiaoliu learned that several women who were good at embroidery in the village were recruited by Jiang Ziyan to work in the town. His own mother-in-law's embroidery skills are not bad, but because after what happened last time, it is impossible for her to have a part in this kind of thing, he is even more angry.

At this time, Mrs. Chen had just prepared the meal and brought it out, when she was taunted by Wang Xiaoliu, "Look for yourself, she can earn [-] yuan a day as a worker with that surname Jiang, and if you do it, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it will be worth it." What's the use, now I have to rely on my hard work to make money to support my family!"

Mrs. Chen was not happy when she heard it. She had actually heard about it, and she was sore at first, but she was ridiculed by her husband in the end.

She refused to accept it: "Who is to blame for what happened last time? It's not because you can't control your dog eyes, but you know how to look at others!"

"What's wrong with me! You take a pee and take a picture of yourself. You are full of fat, and your waist is like a bucket. If you look good, why should I go to see others?"

The two quarreled with each other, and they used to be able to maintain a calm face, but since the last incident, the two of them have often quarreled.

Wang Gousheng, who was sitting in the house waiting for his meal, was already used to it. He didn't come out to persuade his parents when they heard the quarrel.

The Wang family was in a panic again.
