Chapter 175: Encountering Wei Jin Yi

“Once they’re picked out, I’ll ask them to come over and show you, Your Excellency.”

“Good.”

Steward Yu led the ten people he had picked out to Wei Ruo.

Steward Yu introduced, “These four over here are the long laborers who originally worked on our manor, and the six over there were selected from the recent intake, one of whom had been an apprentice in the pharmacy.”

This is what Wei Ruo asked for, and if you have experience as a pharmacy apprentice, it’s preferred.

Wei Ruo looked over one by one, are not too old young man, strength, energy, willing to work hard, character, this is Wei Ruo accounted for the selection criteria for the Yu steward, the last one can not be seen for the time being, but the first three points of these people should be and in line with the.

Wei Ruo explained a few things to a few people, “If you can be selected to work here, your wages will go up by ten wen per month, plus a bucket of rice.”

“Thank you, proprietor!”

Several people thanked him in a hurry.

In this year of poor food harvest, many people can not eat, many places to recruit labor wages are less, but also five more pennies and a bucket of rice a month, that is a great favor to the poor families.

“But all the same, my requirements for you will be higher than for others, I believe that Steward Yu has already spoken to you, come to work in the workshop, you have to abide by the rules, know the importance of lightness, the things in your workshop need to be kept secret, and all of them cannot be spoken to outsiders, even if it’s a family member.”

“As soon as you are found to have violated the rules, you will be dismissed and not rehired.”

This last sentence Wei Ruo said very harshly.

Several people nodded their heads in succession, stating that they would not betray the proprietor.

These days it’s not easy to have a place to eat, especially those who have just been admitted into the stragglers, had been living in hunger and cold, homeless days, the future is bleak, now not only have a mouth to eat, there is a place to live with wages to get, such an opportunity, unless their brains were kicked by a donkey, or else it is certainly to take advantage of it.

And then Wei Ruo gave the ten of them jobs.

Five houses, the first one was mainly for grinding work, grinding the materials delivered over into powder, and these powders were the materials used to make the five spice powder. In addition to the materials for the five spice powder, Wei Ruo would also have them grind some medicinal herbs.

Both because Wei Ruo needed to use these herbs and to confuse the public.

This room Wei Ruo arranged three people, just do the grinding work, the back of the deployment work temporarily or by Xu Zhushan personally, because the relevant formula ratio is still in the hands of their own people can trust.

The second room is mainly for oyster processing work, the purchase of fresh oysters shucked and washed, this one Wei Ruo arranged two people.

The third room is for boiling, for boiling the treated oysters into oil. That stove and large boiler made in advance were used for this. This room Wei Ruo arranged for two people.

The fourth and fifth Wei Ruo were reserved for the making of soy sauce, and a large open space was left in front of the fifth house for the drying of soy sauce.

However, the production cycle of soy sauce is quite long, so Wei Ruo did not agree on soy sauce when he talked to Fan Chengxu, and only promised to supply him with five-spice powder and oyster sauce.

These two houses Wei Ruo temporarily arranged three people, wait until the stable operation, then consider increasing the manpower.

Wei Ruo likes to take gradual steps and doesn’t want to take too big a step at once and bring unnecessary risks to himself.

Wei Ruo explained to everyone what they were doing, and by the time the explanation was finished, the first batch of raw materials had been delivered.

There are spices for making five-spice powder and some herbs, plus oysters and soybeans.

And then Wei Ruo let a few people began to work, himself and Xiu Mei on the side to supervise and guide, found that there are incorrect places timely corrected over.

By the time everything was on track, it was dark.

Although she had been busy all day, Wei Ruo felt refreshed.

It was true that for Wei Ruo, doing what she loved was much less laborious than hooking up with people in the mansion with lip-smacking!

Leaving from the manor, Wei Ruo decided to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence for a meal.

Xiu Mei was a little worried, “Miss we’re still going to the Drunken Immortal Residence?”

“Since we want to do business with them, naturally it’s better to know more about them, what’s more, we can’t make it back to the school captain’s house for the evening meal now, why don’t we eat a little bit outside, it just so happens that this outfit is appropriate today.” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, I’m constantly worried that we’ll be recognized! Last time we went to the Drunken Immortal Residence because we had no choice but to take revenge, and today at the manor house we are on our own anyway, so it’s okay if we are really found out, but now going to the Drunken Immortal Residence like this, I’m still really a bit uneasy.”

Xiu Mei was a little worried.

“Really discovered, probably is the reputation of the girl is damaged, marriage is difficult, is not a big deal, I originally did not want to marry what good family, so why fear? As long as it’s not a white silk that makes me hang to death, I don’t have anything to worry about.” Wei Ruo frankly said.

Although it is not good to hear that a girl dressed as a man goes to a restaurant to eat, but it is not something that will kill her, and the consequences of this Wei Ruo can still afford it.

“Okay, but I’m still going to protect you and won’t let you be found easily!” Xiu Mei firmly said.

Although Miss had Miss’s plans, she still hoped that when the time came, other possibilities would arise and Miss wouldn’t have to actually marry a dead man and become a widow.

What’s more, there’s still Brother Yong. If Brother Yong really succeeds, then Miss will have a backer in the future!

To the Drunken Immortal Residence, Wei Ruo asked for a second-floor box, and was about to enter the door when he saw Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang coming out of the next room.

Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang are here, does that mean Ergo is here too?

With some curiosity, Wei Ruo walked to the door of the next box, and was about to peek into the room for a couple of moments when suddenly a hand reached out from the room and yanked her in.

Seeing this, Xiu Mei quickly stepped forward and pushed away the person who was tugging on Wei Ruo, and then protected Wei Ruo’s front.

But when he fixed his eyes, the room was full of familiar faces, all of whom had already greeted Wei Ruo that day when he was in the mansion in the alley.

Wei Jinya himself was also in the room, and was currently sitting on the seat directly opposite the door of the room.

Xiu Mei was all set to fight someone, but when she saw this, her fists loosened, then she turned her head to look at Wei Ruo.

“What do you two want to do sneaking around at the door of your room?” Zhang Yi, who dragged Wei Ruo in, looked at Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei very warily.

Today the two men were dressed in men’s clothes and looked ugly, which was a little strange to look at.

Wei Ruo of course knew that the other party was not recognizing him, and after a moment’s thought, he replaced it with a smile and said with a grin, “Brothers and sisters, I’m sorry, I’m just passing by, I don’t mean anything else.”

“There’s nothing else what are you doing coming so close?” Zhang Yi was not easily convinced.
