Chapter 236 The Convenience of Sewing Machines

It would be no problem to recruit ten more.

As for recruiting large numbers of people, that will be in the early spring of next year.

After Shen Xia thought it over, she assigned these matters to Song Jin.

These ten people can be of any age.

So the next day, Song Jin discussed with his mother and recruited ten more people.

There are twenty-two people in the processing room.

In the past few days, Shen's father has prepared a foot-operated sewing machine for Shen Xia.

There are ten machines in total, including hemming machines, flatbed machines, and machines with several functions, but they are all foot-operated.

Fortunately, these are all assembled and can be taken out directly.

Fortunately, there is no need to assemble it, otherwise it would take some effort to assemble it.

All that’s missing is a textile machine.

The six who arrived earlier have already been arranged to learn this.

Liu Erya's younger brother is also very hardworking in the factory. He follows the people in the first step to separate the white and colored cocoons. He also eats here at noon every day and is very happy to learn from his sister at noon.

Now there are enough people, and Shen Xiatian is in the factory every day to arrange things.

Because they didn't know how to do some things in the early stages.

There are some things Zhao Xue doesn’t quite understand.

For example, colorful silkworms spinning silk.

Four people were assigned to be responsible for spinning silk from the colored silkworms, and the colored silkworms were then separated from the silkworms of the same color.

I also asked my mother which ones are better at embroidery.

The silk quilt needs to have a brand, and a small pattern of flourishing flowers should be embroidered on it, which will be embroidered when the silk quilt is made later.

A small sample of this kind costs ten cents, and usually four to five can be embroidered a day.

It’s also agreed that if the show isn’t good, we won’t accept it and you have to pay for the materials.

Shen Xia sent out colored threads, and then asked Song's mother to make a standard, and then sent the things out. Ten people, each received ten materials, and when they were done, they came over to hand them in and receive them again, and they all had to register.

Song's mother hesitated for a long time before saying that Song Jiang's two aunts could also be used, and then Shen Xia asked someone to pick up the two aunts.

We chatted for a long time and there were no problems. Because the two aunts lived far away, they each gave forty.

Let them take it back and do it.

The two aunts chatted with Song's mother for a long time and talked about a lot of things about her mother's family. Of course, Shen Xia just listened and didn't say anything.

Then I saw that they were having a good chat and left.

He went about his own business, and before leaving, he told his mother to keep his two aunts for dinner and then send them back.

Another ten days passed like this.

Everyone learns very quickly.

When the delivery was scheduled for the appointed time, 200 beds had been delivered, 100 of which were 8-catties and 100 were 100.

This is because of the machines. If there were no machines, we wouldn’t be able to ship so many goods.

This time, we only have about 800 beds of silkworms to harvest.

After the Ji family's goods were taken away, they ordered another 500 beds. Shen Xia did not agree and only gave the quantity of 300 beds because Sister Qin had not come yet and she didn't know what the situation was on her side.

We can’t give it all to one family.

It would not be good if Sister Qin and the others came and there was no stock.

So after Shen Xia delivered the goods to the Ji family, he asked people to work overtime.

At this time, the village chiefs from several neighboring villages also came and said that everyone could harvest the silk cocoons.

As a result, the family had only one ox cart to transport goods.

Shen Xia asked Song Jin if he wanted to buy a few more ox carts.

As a result, Song Jin said that they could simply rent all the ox carts from several nearby villages for a certain amount of money per day, and then go from village to village to collect the silk cocoons.

At that time, the people were still obedient. They would raise the animals as told and were not stubborn at all, so no one died.

Everyone takes care of them, like treasures.

So basically every family has an income of around 300 yuan, and as winter is coming, they start to stock up on vegetables.

So with this money, there will be basically no problems this winter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Jin finally collected the last villager's cocoons and waited to load them onto the truck.

We rented five ox carts in total, plus our own ox cart, a total of six ox carts. Today, each ox cart made two or three trips to complete the work.

Fortunately, Xia Xia asked someone to make a lot of cloth bags, otherwise it would be difficult to put the backpack in.

When the truck was finally loaded, a villager asked, "Song Dongjia, this is over. When can we raise it again?"

When the people around him heard this, they also stopped what they were doing.

This is an issue that everyone is concerned about.

Looking at the white money in your hand, you will definitely be tempted and want to raise more!

Song Jin looked at his villagers.

I was wondering why these people hadn't left even though they had paid the money, and it turned out to be this reason.

Everyone is afraid of missing the latest news.

Song Jin looked at everyone, then handed the deed in his hand to Zhi Yi.

"It's going to snow soon. I gave you silkworm eggs, but you can't raise them to make cocoons, so we're done this year. But you can continue next year."

"Oh, okay, thank you, boss."

"Well, you're welcome, but you can plant more mulberry trees. You should know that the more people you raise, the less mulberry leaves there will be."

"Yes, picking mulberry leaves is getting farther and farther away, and there are no villages nearby." Some villagers echoed.

"Yes! What should we do next year?" some people are anxious.

This is a way to make money. It would be useless without mulberry leaves, although silkworms can eat more than just mulberry leaves.

There are a few families in the village who are a bit lazy. If they don't have mulberry leaves, they just feed the silkworms something else and don't want to walk too far. As a result, their silk cocoons are not as heavy as ours.

Mulberry leaves are still the best.

Song Jin glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone can come to the Song family to buy mulberry seeds. As for when you can buy them, come back when we notify you that you can buy them. We will notify the village chief and you can buy them then."

The man nodded: "Thank you very much, boss!"

Another person asked, "Does this mulberry seed need good soil to grow?"

"No need, wasteland will do." Song Jin said.

Everyone felt relieved when they heard that it was wasteland, because good land is used to grow crops, and in the eyes of ordinary people, grain is very important.

I thought everyone would have a hard time celebrating the New Year after paying the grain bills this year, but I didn’t expect this!

I really want to thank the Song family, and also thank the village chief for asking for silkworm eggs for the people.

The people watched Song Jin load everything onto the truck, said goodbye to the village chief, and then happily went home.

I can finally spend a peaceful year with peace of mind.

In this way, it took a whole village a day to complete the harvest.

It took five days to visit five villages.

Basically every family has about three taels of silver.

He put all the things in the storehouse, because one oxcart was worth 100 coins a day, and he was paid 500 coins in five days.

Then five ox carts were given two thousand five hundred coins in five days.

Everyone was happy and told Song Jin that if they needed anything next time, they could just say it directly.

Uncle Yang is also among them.

Thinking about my home.

The eldest daughter-in-law makes a fuss at home every day about going to work because the second daughter-in-law is working.

Now everyone in the village knows that the treatment at the Song family’s processing plant is extremely expensive!

Because Shen Xia requested that the content of their work could not be disclosed, some people still talked about how they were treated because the treatment was good.

But when someone asked what they were doing, no one dared to say.

Who doesn’t want to go to the village?

I do it at home every day.

My wife is also very frustrated.

The main reason is that the adults can work there and the children can go to school next year. Given these conditions, who wouldn’t want to go?

My wife said that my second daughter-in-law is a daughter, so it is useless to study.

Although this doesn't sound very nice,

But this is the truth!

If you have an eldest grandson at home, you must want him to be able to go to school, right?

It would be great if my eldest daughter-in-law could go to work.

But what about the eldest daughter-in-law?

Ugh--

My wife said she promised to be diligent.

So I keep struggling with it.

Uncle Yang still spoke and called out to Song Jin.
