Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Dahe ran up and down, measuring and recording the data.

After some calculations, he knew the approximate amount of materials needed.

Jiang Dahe only left after he gave Lin Xiaoyue the estimate.

Lin Xiaoyue received the list and went to look for Zhao Fu.

“The construction this time will be fast, and the consumption of bricks is also fast. With just Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang transporting the bricks, it would be too slow.”

“There is an old man surnamed Shi in Shangyang Village. He rides an ox-cart on the main road every morning. In the past, he helped us transport the bricks. When Zhao Kang or Zhao Qiang comes back later, ask one of them to wait for Old Master Shi under the tree outside the western gate of Wingshi Town. Ask him to help us again.”

“Just say that the price is still the same as before, 54 wen per trip. Now that it’s not as hot anymore, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to make seven or eight trips a day.”

“Yes.” Zhao Fu replied.

“Pay him by the day. Also, the expenses of the construction were all paid by the accountant. Remember to keep track of the accounts.”

“Yes.”

“After settling this matter, go to the village chief’s house later and ask the village chief to help find workers. Prioritize the ones that helped our family before. The salary is…”

Zhao Fu took note as he listened.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Fu worriedly.

“Do you remember everything?” She asked.

“Yes.” Zhao Fu quickly said.

Then, he repeated what Lin Xiaoyue had just said.

Lin Xiaoyue gave Zhao Fu an appreciative look. She had a better understanding of his abilities.

“Also, in addition to hiring workers, we’ll also ask two women to come to the house and help cook for the people who build the house. The salary is 60 wen a day, including lunch and dinner.”

“Yes.”

Lin Xiaoyue finished explaining to Zhao Fu before leaving with Zhao Shanshan.

She left the construction of the house to Zhao Fu.

As for the spicy cabbage, she had already handed the task of making the spicy cabbage sauce to Chen Shi. She didn’t have to worry too much with the Zhou Shi watching over them.

As for the eatery, all the chilies in her field had been collected. The red chilies were all dried and sealed, while the green chilies were made into pickled peppers and placed in the jar.

In the past few days, the Jiang family’s mother and son, as well as Wang Erya, had been helping to grind the chili powder besides making 50 buckets of cold cakes every day.

Now that they had hired two more people to help grind the chili powder, they were freer.

However, she would not let the workers be idle. Therefore, it was time to introduce new dishes..

Hence, Lin Xiaoyue asked Zhao Shanshan to call the five of them over.

Then, in the workshop, she had a meeting with them.

“Now, the cold cake business is getting colder and colder. I plan to start serving new food soon.”

Wang Erya and the others looked at Lin Xiaoyue with anticipation in their eyes.

Now that the Liu family had recruited so many people to make spicy cabbage, they were worried that Lin Xiaoyue would change her focus and not spend time running the eatery.

If the boss didn’t care about the restaurant’s business, they would probably be out of work soon.

The Liu family paid such a high salary, and they worked close to home. Of course, they didn’t want to lose such a good job.

Lin Xiaoyue saw the expressions on everyone’s faces and guessed what they were thinking. She smiled at everyone.

“You guys are the first batch of workers I hired. Erya came to my house to help before the eatery was opened. I promise you that as long as my business continues, I won’t let you go so easily. Next, if you are willing, you can sign a long-term contract with me.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Shanshan.

Zhao Shanshan understood and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue before walking in front of everyone.

“After signing the contract, you will receive a monthly salary. The manager gets 4 taels of silver per month. Other than doing the usual work, the manager would also be responsible for arranging the work of the others in the workshop. The rest receive 3 taels of silver per month and listen to the manager’s instructions.”

“The current working hours remain unchanged. Everyone can take three days off every month. In the future, if there are any resignations, you need to inform the manager a month in advance. The manager will report to me, and you could only leave after getting approval or after more than a month without approval.”

Everyone was excited.

If they signed the long-term contract, not only would their salary increase, but they would also have rest days every month!
