Chapter 586 Peasant Woman 14
Tan You is the type of person who is determined to make progress, but Chen Xi is more gentle, which is not a bad thing. Hiding his edge under a soft and harmless face makes it easier to achieve his goals.

An Wen quickly went to find Chen Tianshui. After An Wen told him the purpose of his visit, Chen Tianshui slapped his thigh and said, "Come on, everyone in the village will probably have work to do in the future."

"Let's go quickly. Have we invited all the elders?"

An Wen said with a straight face: "I have invited several families I have passed by, and now the third master's family is the only one left."

Chen Tianshui was happy: "Then you go and ask Uncle San to come. I'll get some clothes at home."

In order to find out the result yesterday, he went to Chen's house in shorts without even washing the mud off his feet. Chen Tianshui still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it now. Now that Xue Guanglin came again, Chen Tianshui felt that he could not lose his manners again today.

When Chen Tianshui and the elders arrived at the Chen family, Tan You and Xue Guanglin also arrived at the door. Everyone consciously slowed down their pace and waited. After all, this kind of thing should be discussed together.

The result of the conversation was naturally gratifying. The Chen family had one more mosquito coil workshop. Compared with soap, mosquito coil workshops could undoubtedly deliver goods faster and start production faster.

After all, the space and raw materials needed can, to be honest, be collected as long as one is willing.

Of course, once the contract was signed, Tan You's warehouse was completely emptied. Tan You didn't care. After all, after the workshop started production, he could just go to the workshop to buy what he wanted in the future.

After seeing Xue Guanglin off, Chen Tianshui bared his teeth and laughed: "No wonder you asked people to dry the moxa leaves yesterday, it turned out to be for now."

Tan You: "The amount of mugwort leaves on the mountain is limited. I suggest that everyone organize people to go out and collect them, just like buying lard."

Chen Tianshui calculated the manpower in the tribe: "Okay, I will arrange for people to go to the neighboring villages to collect mugwort leaves."

Tan You did not intervene in this regard: "Village Chief, please take care of it. Will the tribe members complain?"

"How could that be?" Chen Tianshui laughed, "They are too happy now to have time."

There were people in charge of purchasing raw materials, and the young and strong also started to burn charcoal and grind elm powder. Even the children ran around the mountains and fields, collecting wormwood and sending them to the workshop, which would keep a good account for them and settle the accounts at the end of the month.

For a while, almost every household’s yard was filled with mugwort leaves drying in the sun.

Ten days later, the first batch of mosquito coils from Chen's workshop was shipped away by Sihai Grocery Store. After receiving five taels of silver from the other party, Chen Tianshui's lips trembled with excitement.

The tribesmen who were watching were also very excited: "There is silver already?"

"Not only that, I heard that in five or six days, the first batch of soap will be demolded." An aunt whispered, "Our workshop has not stopped these days, and soap will be produced every day in the future."

"Great! Mingguang, how much soap can we produce in the first batch?" Aunt Hua saw Chen Xi right next to her and simply asked Chen Xi about the situation.

Chen Xi smiled, "The first batch of basic soap products is about 800 yuan, and the wormwood mint soap is 400 yuan. The workshop expects to earn 15 taels."

"That's fifteen taels of silver," an aunt clapped her hands, "That's not a small amount. We'll be shipping goods every day, so how many fifteen taels will it cost?"

Chen Xi corrected: "That's not how it's calculated. We also invested a lot. Everyone went around buying lard in the scorching sun. The labor costs must be taken into account."

"Isn't human labor the least valuable?" One aunt disagreed. Indeed, in everyone's opinion, the human labor of the poor is the least valuable.

Chen Xi: "That's not right. If it weren't for the uncles going out to collect raw materials, the soap workshop would have closed down long ago. Their efforts are enormous, and manpower is very precious." She learned this from Tan You. Even though manpower is not that precious in the eyes of everyone, Tan You doesn't think so.

"It is because of the raw materials that the workshop can continue to operate. Of course, the aunts and grandmas are also indispensable. In short, the workshop cannot do without anyone."

Chen Xi said one last sentence, which made these aunts and uncles feel very happy. Tan You watched this scene from a distance and thought that Chen Xi was really a good material for being a manager.

"Mingguang, does the workshop pay...workers...salary every month?" One aunt was not familiar with these new words and was a little stuck when it came to salary.

Chen Xi said seriously: "My mother said that half of it will be paid in the first month, because we need to leave enough funds for operation, to buy raw materials and various equipment for the workshop."

"But after next month, all of them should be sent out."

"I don't know how much we can get paid." An auntie held her chin up with a look of longing in her eyes: "I heard that a twelve-year-old boy working in the town can get about ten cents a day."

"We are right outside our home, and I am not greedy. I am satisfied if I can earn a hundred coins a month." Aunt Hua said with a smile, "We are usually busy for only half a day, and we can go back to work the rest of the time."

Chen Xi felt a little bitter, and thought that everyone was so easily satisfied: "My mother said that she would discuss the salary with the clan leaders and elders. The salary was originally set according to the workshop's shipment volume."

"The more goods the workshop produces, the higher everyone's salary will be."

The village chief's wife stroked Chen Xi's head and said, "Mingguang is very capable now. I decided to let my daughter learn how to manage the household. Look how capable Mingguang is now. He can tell you everything about the workshop."

Chen Xi raised her little face and said, "I learned this from my mother. My mother is amazing."

"Yes, you are awesome, madam." The village head's wife smiled and said, "Your mother wants to talk to you about something."

"Then I'll go over first," after greeting the aunts, Chen Xi hurriedly walked towards Tan You.

"So happy?" Looking at the smile on the little girl's face, Tan You asked softly.

"Happy," Chen Xi nodded vigorously: "I am happy to see that everyone's life is getting better."

Tan You also smiled: "Just be happy. Are you tired of learning all this?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Not tired, I really like these."

Tan You: "That's good. Our Mingguang is a good candidate for management."

After everyone's anxious wait, the soap was finally unmolded, and Sihai Grocery arrived at Miaogou Village as soon as possible. Almost every villager was present to watch the grand event of delivery.

Xue Guanglin also came over this time: "Madam, the shop is now waiting for the soap and perfumed soap from the clan, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Shopkeeper Fan also said, "There have been purchase limits on soap and perfumed soap in the shop these days, but now we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
