Chapter 585 Peasant Woman 13
Chen Tianshui was also startled: "Understood, we will call a meeting of the tribesmen this afternoon, and we must...must..."

"Unify thoughts." Seeing that Chen Tianshui couldn't find the right words, Tan You helped him say it.

Chen Tianshui slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, we must unify our thoughts!"

The clan leader and several elders had lunch at Tan You's place, and then hurriedly started the meeting. Tan You was only responsible for managing production and sales, and as for the management in the middle, it was naturally controlled by the clan leader and elders.

Therefore, when Chen Tianshui was speaking, Tan You just sat quietly and listened. It was only when they heard that the tribe members were selected to work in the workshop that the villagers started to discuss.

The village where the original owner lived was inhabited entirely by members of the Chen clan, which was a good thing as it saved them the trouble of mistreating outsiders.

Chen Tianshui: "The clan has decided that at least one person from each household should work in the workshop. The workshop has just been established. If there are more orders in the future, we will need..."

"Employees," Tan You reminded him, and Chen Tianshui said hurriedly, "Yes, employees. If the workshop develops well in the future, everyone in our Chen family will come to work in the workshop to ensure that everyone will have a place to rely on when they grow old."

"Also," Chen Tianshui's eyes swept over all the wives in the village, "You can't talk to your parents about the soap workshop in the village. If it ruins the family's business, the family can divorce you and you can go back to your parents' home!"

The wives who were originally somewhat tempted immediately waved their hands: "No, no."

"We promise not to say anything."

Chen Tianshui snorted coldly: "That's the best, Madam, do you have anything else to add?"

Tan You coughed lightly and said, "The clan leader has said everything that needs to be said. I have nothing to add. We at Chen's Workshop will strive to make it bigger and stronger in the future, so that every child can go to school and every elderly person can enjoy their old age."

"Good! Well said, madam!"

As soon as Tan You finished speaking, people applauded loudly. They all lived in the same village, so how could they keep secrets? How did the soap business come about? Wasn't it provided by Tan You?
Therefore, when Tan You spoke, people naturally supported him. If the workshop was really opened, everyone would have an income in the future, and life would not be as hard as before.

Tan You just smiled and glanced at Chen Tianshui: "During lunch, we discussed that the workshop will tentatively select one person from each family to work in the workshop, but the age must be over ten and under fifty."

When talking about the age of ten, Tan You couldn't help but frown, but when thinking about this era, some children went out to make a living at the age of seven or eight, Tan You couldn't help but sigh that the lives of the poor were cheap.

"If a family really can't spare anyone, the clan can't watch everyone starve to death, so the conditions can be relaxed as appropriate."

“Employees need to be careful, meticulous, hardworking and willing to work hard…”

After stating a few conditions, Tan You looked at the villagers and said, "At present, each family can only have one quota. Everyone should discuss it among yourselves. After you have reached an agreement, go to the clan leader to register."

"male or female."

When the men heard that there was no gender restriction, they were furious: "Why do we still need to recruit female workers?"

Tan You glanced at him and said, "I am a woman too. I made the soap."

The other party smiled awkwardly: "Madam, that's not what I meant."

Tan You didn't hold him back: "I understand that everyone wants to work, but it depends on the family situation. Women can also hold up half the sky. A real man should fight for wealth outside, not fight with women and children at home."

"If you are working in the town, there is no need to give up your current job. If someone else in your family works, the family can also have more income." The first person who showed up muttered, "There is no one working in the town in our village."

Tan You thought for a moment and said, "Then don't worry. The soap workshop doesn't need many young and strong people right now. There will naturally be a place where everyone will be needed in the future."

Chen Tianshui smiled: "Madam, do you have any other ideas?"

He did not forget that there were neatly wrapped mosquito coils in Tan You's warehouse, but Xue Guanglin did not mention them in the morning.

Tan You smiled meaningfully: "Everyone will understand in a few days."

With the support of the clan leader and elders, Tan You successfully found 50 employees for the workshop. Everyone was busy in the afternoon. One team built a stove behind the ancestral hall, and another team went to the blacksmith shop in town to buy a large iron pot.

Others went out to buy raw materials, and many people left Miaogou Village at once. The once lifeless Miaogou Village seemed to have been revitalized all of a sudden.

Chen Xi stood beside Tan You, watching the tribesmen busy, her eyes unconsciously curved. Now watching the tribesmen busy, she suddenly understood the meaning of Tan You's words "help the world when you are successful".

"Mom, when do you think Mr. Xue will come to order our mosquito coils?"

Tan You: "I think he will come tomorrow. Although the mosquito coil business can only be done for a few months and has periodic restrictions, we can do it almost all year round as long as the raw materials are appropriate."

An Wen glanced at the fields in the distance and suddenly sighed: "In the future, there will definitely be many families in the village growing mugwort."

"Mugwort is a good thing." Tan You smiled: "If you want to make mosquito coils, it's best to use old mugwort, but there isn't any nowadays. We can also use fresh mugwort leaves."

"It's just that the collection of old mugwort will have to be put on the agenda. Oh, and let's find a few people to go to the mountains to collect mugwort leaves. They will come in handy later."

When a few people were talking, people passing by pricked up their ears unconsciously. From what the lady said, it seemed that there would be a business in the workshop in the future?
This...this is really great!

In the town, Xue Guanglin did not realize the power of the mosquito coil at first. But after a night, Xue Guanglin slept very soundly and was not awakened by a single mosquito. Xue Guanglin knew that he had missed a good thing yesterday.

Therefore, without even having time to eat breakfast in the morning, Xue Guanglin, along with Manager Fan and two young men, rushed straight to Miaogou Village.

In the village, Tan You was instructing everyone to boil lard. Seeing Xue Guanglin's carriage coming from afar, Tan You smiled unconsciously.

Chen Yue sighed like a little adult: "Mother, Mr. Xue has sent you money again. He must have taken a fancy to your mosquito coils."

Tan You pushed An Wen's back and said, "Go and ask the village chief and the elders to come over. Mingguang, you stay here with the aunties to boil the oil, and pay attention to the heat."

Chen Xi nodded: "Mom, I know."

Aunt Hua said quickly: "We all work in the kitchen all the time, can't we make some lard?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Of course the aunts can do it well. I am just here to chat with the aunts so that they won't feel lonely."
