Chapter 437: You can’t raise sheep in a pack of wolves

The price was set at 30 wen a day, which was decided by Shuiqing after consideration.

The women in the workshop were already skilled before. If they cooperated well with each other, they could make more than 120 pens a day in five steps, which means that each person could earn 24 wen on average. The time was mainly spent on grinding and drilling.

Grinding is a delicate job. The price of things sold to rich people can be high, but the things must be good! Even if it is just a small bamboo handle, it must be smooth to touch so that they are willing to pay for it.

They don’t care about the expensive wen, but the corresponding value for money.

The grinding alone is divided into three steps, first rough grinding, then fine finishing, and finally fine grinding with fine cloth. This step cannot be rough or perfunctory. As long as one pens cuts the hand of a noble, the reputation will be bad, so the quality must be strictly controlled!

And drilling is a skill. If the spacing is too wide, there are too few holes, too many holes, or too small holes, it will not work. If one is not good, the whole pens will be ruined.

So it can't be fast. Excluding those with very fast hands, most of the wages will not exceed 28 wen a day.

Thirty wen a day is guaranteed in the workshop, and a lunch is provided. In addition, the overall intensity of work is not as tiring as that of OEM, which is considered good.

Shuiqing thought that the wages and treatment were not bad, and the people below, whether old or young, were stunned!

Thirty wen a day!

What a surprise, there was no news at all, and it increased immediately?

Oh, by the way, Shuiqing also said that people in the village wanted to come to learn, and they didn't need to do grinding and drilling, and they changed jobs.

But how did it increase to thirty wen? Before, the wages of everyone who did these two steps were the same, all twenty wen.

"Did I hear it right? Is it really thirty wen?" Zhao Lan swallowed her saliva and asked the people around her.

Li Tiantian was not sure, and hesitated: "I heard it was."

That's thirty wen, her father used to work in the city for only thirty wen a day! It was still hard and tiring work from morning till night. If she took a short break and was seen by the manager, she would not have to go the next day.

After finishing the work, she had to walk for more than an hour to get back. If she stayed overnight in the city, she could not afford to stay overnight. She had to sleep under someone's eaves with her clothes on, and she had to do it secretly, otherwise she would be punished if she was caught by the patrolling soldiers.

Now she can earn thirty coins a day in the village and at the door of her house?

In the morning, she had breakfast at home, and at noon, she had a lunch with oil and water. In the afternoon, she got off work before the sun went down, and she didn't even need half a cup of tea to walk home.

"Aunt San, why do I feel it's unreal?"

Zhao Lan didn't dare to think that she was now earning the same as the boss in the city!

Now the boss went out to deliver goods and could earn a hundred coins a day, but the boss's money was not stable. When he came back, it was gone, but she always had it.

Those who reacted quickly took the lead and shouted: "I promise to teach well! Let them all learn!"

"Me too!" Zhao Lan and Li Tiantian reacted and shouted loudly.

"By the way, Gang Shuiqing said that people from the village come to learn, doesn't that mean that everyone in our family can do it?"

"Does that mean that everyone in the family can also earn money?"

"Oh my God! That's a lot of money."

At first, everyone was immersed in the joy of the wage increase, and then realized that they had to teach people how to do it. At this moment, they realized that the village was their family, right?

There was no division of the family, and most of the money earned by each person was handed over to the public, but whether it was handed over or not, it was all theirs!

Of course, everyone worked, and the more they earned, the better.

Shui Qing nodded and repeated the story, "When you go back, you will all press your fingerprints with the old village chief. As for the men who are out, just wait for them to come back."

The old village chief must leave an empty seat behind each household. As long as most members press the fingerprints, everyone will know the seriousness and have a deterrent effect. The remaining few will come back to press the fingerprints.

Like the reaction of the people in the old village chief's yard, the people in the workshop think that the punishment can be increased!

They finally got such an easy and profitable job. Whoever dares to ruin it will be killed!

Shui Qing finally understood why these dynasties could keep a craft and technology very secret, thanks to everyone's cognition: this is the livelihood, whoever leaks it will lose his job and cut off his financial resources.

The room was bustling with excitement and everyone was discussing excitedly.

A voice suddenly came from outside the house: "I said you are also Dazhu's biological sister, why don't the cousin care about the cousin, and you, as a biological sister, don't protect him?

I will at least be your dear sister-in-law in the future, and this time I am also collecting it for your dear brother. What's wrong with giving me more polished cloth? Can I be greedy for your little cloth?"

The room was suddenly quiet!

"It's Zhang Chunhua. She wants to get married within 100 days of your mother-in-law. I heard that she will get married at the end of this month."

"Aunt Zhang refused to make her a new set of clothes. I heard that she was clamoring for a red veil a few days ago, and was beaten by Aunt Zhang. Could she want to make a hair tie with the cloth?"

There are two kinds of polished cloth, one is linen and the other is fine cloth. They are two-finger-wide strips of cloth. They are useless when taken back, and they are worn out. Zhang Chunhua dares to make a big item no matter how much she wants? If she wants to exchange the old for the new, she can only make a hair tie at most.

She had the nerve to argue with Wanxia over a hair tie and act like an elder sister-in-law!

Zhang Xiaocao recognized the voice as her cousin's and clenched her hands into fists.

Last month, Second Aunt and Chunhua came to her house to embarrass her, but it was Sister Shuiqing who backed her up. Unexpectedly, they came to trip up Wanxia again!

Wanxia had obviously been adopted by Sister Shuiqing, and Chunhua knew it. She pretended to be ignorant just to take advantage of her.

"Sister Shuiqing"

Shuiqing reached out to stop Zhang Xiaocao's words and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, listen to how Wanxia handles it?"

This is not the timid little girl who could only hide in the corner at the beginning. She can't raise sheep in a wolf pack. She believes that Wanxia can handle it!

As for why the Zhang family and the eldest uncle's family were involved this time, it was also decided after the old village chief discussed with her.

The toothbrush handle is no different from other jobs. These two families can learn it more or less even if they visit each other. It is too risky to let them go. Let them participate and sign. If they do well, the workshop will make money. If they do poorly, the workshop will not accept them and will not lose money. It also eliminates the risk of them leaking secrets. If they leak, there is a letter of commitment with their own handprints, and they can be driven out of the village with good reason.

Zhang Xiaogou is really good, and Fan Sizhu is not too bad. It is not easy for the two children. It is a burden to drag the whole family, and it also gives the two children a way out.

As expected, the families of other people are a help, but their families are really a burden.

This is just the beginning, and they are already arrogant.
