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

Chapter 302 Qingbufang

The four of them dismantled and reassembled the loom, and it took them two days to completely assemble it.

Although it took a long time, they figured out each step and the looms could be assembled quickly afterwards.

It took half a month to complete the assembly. The villagers were very experienced in raising silkworms, so they would not go to Wang Yun and his team if something went wrong with the silkworms.

Ye Qing was ready to open a business and was looking for people to do the work. The people he wanted in the workshop this time needed people who were quick and had no calluses on their hands.

The older people in the village are not suitable, and most of the people who come for the interview are young girls.

Gao Hui and Jiang Jun are responsible for judging whether the people are suitable. They will teach them some movements first and let them follow. Those who are quick in hands and feet can pass this stage.

There is also a test of patience. Weaving requires patience, usually from morning to night, with several breaks in between.

Ye Qing watched for a while and felt that they did a good job and there was nothing to add.

Ye Fan also followed to learn, as he would be needed to help Ye Yuan manage the weaving workshop in the future.

Ye Yuan had been helping Ye Xuan in Zui Xiang Fang, and now he had trained well. He asked him to come to the weaving workshop to be the manager, and let Ye Fan be his assistant.

Ye Fan is still young, and he cannot keep a straight face when he meets some people who are difficult to talk to.

Finally, under the supervision of several people, fifty people were selected to study.

There is little raw material now, and they only have what they usually use for practice. Before they can make a profit, they have to wait until the first batch of silkworms are raised in the village.

Once you’ve decided on the right candidates, have them go home and tell us first, and come back when the business opens.

Ye Qing called a few people to a meeting, "Ye Yuan, the weaving workshop should have no business recently. I will hand these people over to you. You will be in charge of the workshop first. In the future, you will be the chief manager of the workshop. I will let Ye Fan help you."

"I understand. I will definitely do a good job of supporting Master Gao and Master Jiang, and will also cooperate well with Ye Fan."

Ye Qing looked at Ye Fan, "Brother Ye Fan, you are still young, so when you encounter problems, ask Brother Ye Yuan for advice."

Ye Fan quickly saluted to Ye Yuan, "I'll trouble you to give me more guidance in the future, Brother Ye Yuan. If there is anything, just tell me to do it."

Ye Yuan was not arrogant. "We are brothers and family, so let's work together to make the weaving workshop a success."

Ye Qing was very satisfied watching them getting along harmoniously. She had many opportunities here and didn't have to engage in intrigue.

Ye Qing watched the two of them get to know each other, then turned his attention to Gao Hui and Jiang Jun.

"Sister Hui, are you getting used to being here? Has anyone bullied you?"

Gao Hui was somewhat flattered. "Qingya, everything is fine. Thank you for helping me send Xiaowei to a private school."

"This is what I promised you. It's nothing. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell Ye Yuan and let him help you solve them."

Ye Yuan stepped forward at the right time and greeted Gao Hui. From now on, one of them would be responsible for technology and the other for management.

"Sister Hui, you will be responsible for teaching them how to weave coarse cloth. There are a lot of people, so thank you for your hard work."

Gao Hui earned ten taels of silver a month and was willing to work a little harder.

Ye Qing looked at Jiang Jun who was waiting on the side. Jiang Jun looked at her eagerly, his eyes full of thoughts of "it's me, it's time to talk to me."

Ye Qing wanted to laugh, but he held it back. They were in a meeting and needed to be serious.

"Jiang Jun, how is your house being cleaned up? You can move in when the workshop opens. I'll take you to choose a place to live later. There aren't many people here now, so you can choose whatever you want."

"The house has been packed up and we can live in it now. It doesn't matter if we move in later." Jiang Jun, a child from a poor family, has taken on the responsibility of taking care of the family early on and has already helped his grandparents pack their luggage.

"When you move, ask the people in the workshop to help you move. The more people there are, the faster it will be."

Gao Hui and her partner didn't want to trouble the people in the workshop. "We just moved here. We don't have much stuff. We can move it here in one trip."

Ye Qing did not force it and continued to arrange the work.

"Jiang Jun, you and Xiaoya will be responsible for teaching everyone how to weave fine cloth. There are many girls who want to learn weaving, and with Xiaoya's help, no one will gossip."

Jiang Jun and Xiaoya nodded in agreement, and got to know Ye Yuan again.

Ye Qing had almost finished the arrangements and asked Ye Yuan to take a few people to choose a residence.

Xiaoya lived in the workshop from now on, and she was also paid as a manager.

Gao Hui, Jiang Jun and Xiao Ya chose three connected courtyards. There were few people in the workshop and they could take care of each other.

This place is very close to the village and the dock, and there are people from the government patrolling nearby, so safety is not a problem.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for opening. Ye Qing invited the village head to come and help preside over the opening ceremony.

Old Man Ye and Boss Ye also came. Looking at the large workshop in front of them, they were proud of Ye Qing.

Ye Lizheng changed into his newly made clothes and presided over the workshop with the manuscript in his hand. The workers in the workshop were all excited.

Ye Qing offered them a very high monthly salary of 500 wen per month. After they passed the exam, they would receive 800 wen per month.

In the future, depending on how fast they weave, you can choose to get a commission.

As the head of the village finished reading the last word, Old Man Ye pulled back the red cloth covering the door of the workshop, revealing the name Qingbufang inside.

This name was chosen with the help of Boss Ye. "Qing" and "Qing" are homophones, which means that Ye Qing's cloth shop is so simple and unpretentious.

Ye Qing also prepared candies and cakes and distributed them to the people around him so that everyone could share in the joy.

When the people working in the workshop came in, Ye Qing first introduced them to the chief manager Ye Yuan, the junior manager Ye Fan, and the three people who taught them.

After the people in the workshop became familiar with the working environment, Ye Qing divided them into two teams to learn how to operate two looms respectively.

Gao Hui and Jiang Jun taught seriously. Xiaoya watched from the side and only gave some instructions when they tried.

These girls are not very old, around twelve or thirteen years old, which is the age when they learn things the fastest.

Ye Qing had checked in advance and found out that these children could read. He would take out half an hour in the workshop to teach these children to continue reading. He handed this task over to Ye Yun, the granddaughter of his third grandfather, and he would pay her wages every month.

Ye Qing went to the workshop every morning to learn weaving from Gao Hui and Jiang Jun.

She studied hard, and so did the other girls who came to work. Every day when it was time to get off work, they were reluctant to go home, and took advantage of the few people around to practice on the loom.

Ye Qing brought Wangcai and Heizi here, so he wouldn't be afraid even if he went back late at night.

Ye Qing was very smart and learned things quickly. In just a few days, he was able to weave simple cloth.

Ye Qing had learned almost everything, so she stopped studying. She didn't need to be proficient in everything, just knew a little bit so that she could talk about it when discussing business with others in the future.

Every day she went back home with the last few girls who returned home. Sometimes it was late and dark, and they could only grope their way back on the road.

Ye Qing seldom went out at night before, and this was the first time he found it so inconvenient to go out at night.
