After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 309 Night Shift

"What are you saying? What's the relationship between our two families? Why are you being so polite? If you need a car in the future, just go to my house and get it. We have several cars at home, so feel free to use any of them." Boss Ye said pretending to be angry.

"Wen Ning is here, come in quickly." Third Grandpa heard the voice from inside, opened the window and called for help.

"I'm here. Uncle San, please sit down. I'll be in right away." Boss Ye led them into the house.

"Wen Ning, you're here, so why are you bringing anything with you?"

Seeing that Third Grandpa was unhappy, Ye Qing quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Third Grandfather, what we brought are just to nourish your body, there are no valuables."

"Yes, Third Grandpa, you see these eggs are all from our own family and we didn't spend any money on them." Ye Dalang also spoke up.

Third Grandpa was happy then and started chatting with a few people about family matters.

Ye Wenyuan walked in from outside with a purse in his hand.

"Qingya, here are ten taels of silver, keep them. Fortunately you sent someone to deliver the money yesterday, otherwise I would have to borrow from Doctor Lin."

"My grandfather is worried at home, and we are also worried about you, so we can only let Ye Fan take Ye Zhu with us."

"I made eldest brother worried. I saw his face turned pale. Please comfort him for me. They are old. Please take good care of them." The third grandfather was a little emotional. The eldest brother had taken good care of him since they were young.

Ye Qing put the silver in his pocket. Third Uncle's family was well off, so he could just take the money.

Seeing that Third Grandpa looked a little unwell, the few of them said a few more words and then said goodbye and left.

Ye Lao Da went to work in the fields, Ye Dalang went to the dock, and Ye Qing followed Wei Xin to the farm.

The two arrived at the farm and first looked at a few hens that were placed aside. They were still a little listless.

Wei Xin took some of the soaked food and fed it to a few sick chickens. He also gave them some water and then put them in a cool place.

The two had no other choice. The veterinarian would come in the afternoon, so this was the only thing they could do for now.

Wei Xin asked people to distribute the soaked food so that each chicken and duck could have some.

The two walked around the farm and found no problems with the other chickens and ducks, so they returned home.

"Qingya, please give me more ideas and help me think of a solution. I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep the whole night last night." Wei Xin was so anxious that blisters appeared on his mouth.

Ye Qing tried hard to recall how her classmates in the next class handled this situation. It seemed that they said feeding some cactus would be helpful.

Wei Xin clapped his hands in approval after hearing this. He had planted several cacti outside the wall of his home, so he decided to pick some when he got home to try.

Wei Xin didn't go in either. He picked the cactus and sent it to the breeding farm first.

Ye Qing didn't go to the farm, she went to the workshop.

They purchased a batch of silk cocoons from other places, and Gao Hui led the people in the workshop to try to weave cloth.

Ye Qing arrived at the workshop and heard Gao Hui's voice instructing them outside the door.

"Hurry up here, my feet are moving so fast, my hands can't keep up, and the thread will definitely break soon."

"Put some more strength in your hand. If you don't use enough strength, the cloth won't be tight."

Ye Qing stood outside and listened for a while, but did not go in to disturb them and went to the accounting office.

"You are all here, how is the production these two days?"

Ye Fan stood up, brought a stool to Ye Qing, and went to give her the records of yesterday's weaving.

Ye Qing asked Gao Hui and Jiang Jun to keep a weaving log every day to record the day's work content, which was also used for comparison in the early stages.

Ye Qing read every word carefully. Yesterday was the first day of weaving. Everyone in the workshop was a little hesitant and only managed to weave the beginning in one day.

There are fewer looms in the workshop now, but more people, so Ye Yuan arranged morning and evening shifts for them.

The morning shift is from six to three, and the evening shift is from three to twelve.

The night shift ended too late and it was unsafe for the girls to go home, so Ye Yuan arranged for them to live in the dormitory and gave the night shift a subsidy of twenty cents a day.

Ye Fan thought that no one wanted to work the night shift. It was getting dark now, but everyone went to bed as soon as it got dark.

Ye Qing had no choice. There were few looms in the workshop, so he could only make do like this for the time being.

Ye Qing had already sent people to buy looms. This time, he ordered thirty of each type of loom. He also helped Gao Hui bring a letter back.

Gao Hui lives comfortably here, without her in-laws looking after her, and she is raising her son on her own.

Her son is a sensible boy and studies hard. When he grows up, she will live here in her old age and whoever wants to go back can go back.

I didn't expect that everyone was willing to work the night shift. It earns 20 more wen a day, and if you work the night shift half of the month, you can still earn 300 wen.

"Not bad, it's a good start. Once people get used to it, the speed will be faster. Let's all work with confidence." Ye Qing was very satisfied.

Ye Yuan also smiled, "I looked around the house several times yesterday, and they were all good kids, none of them were sneaky or cunning."

Ye Qing looked at his recent expenses again. The biggest expenses were the monthly salary for work and the money for buying raw materials this time.

"Have you asked how long it takes to weave a piece of cloth? I am also planning to open a cloth workshop to sell cloth at the dock."

"I asked, and they said the first weaving won't be too fast. The first batch should be ready in about twenty days, with about twenty pieces of cloth." Ye Yuan told them what he had learned yesterday.

"What about the coarse cloth? Have they made any progress?"

"They are trying to weave cloth with cotton. They are still researching and have made some progress." Ye Yuan would go to check on the progress every day.

Ye Qing counted the cloth in his hands and the empty shops on the dock.

She had a shop that she rented out and the contract was due to expire at the end of the month. It was a ready-made garment shop, and when the contract expired, she would stay and open a cloth workshop.

There should be some fabric left in the warehouse by the end of the month, and by the time she finishes the renovation, which will take about another month, it will be more than enough to run the shop.

Ye Fan listened with excitement. To open a shop, one would definitely need a manager who understood fabrics. He had been learning for so long that he knew the fabrics in the workshop very well.

He went to talk to Ye Qing and thought that he might be able to go to the dock to help open a cloth shop. Ye Yuan was watching over the Qing Cloth Shop, so he would never be able to be the head manager, so it would be better to find another way.

Since then, Ye Fan has been more serious in the workshop. He not only helps Ye Yuan deal with the affairs in the workshop, but also goes to the workshop to help.

He needs to understand the entire process and the material of each piece of cloth. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Ye Qing has no one to use her, so she is happy to see Ye Fan making such progress.

Ye Yuan also saw through his thoughts. Since they would not be working in the same workshop in the future, the competition would not be so fierce, so he was happy to help him. If anyone needed help in the workshop, he would let him go.

Ye Fan was also very grateful to Ye Yuan for giving him this opportunity. He would observe them weaving only after finishing Ye Yuan’s work every day.

Ye Qing turned his attention back to the farm. A few chickens started to lose spirits. The veterinarian checked them out but couldn't see anything wrong.

The veterinarian prescribed several medicines, which Wei Xin fed to a few hens, but were not as effective as eating cactus.
