Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 264 Inspecting the Printing Workshop ([-])

"My master, my master." Liu Man'er just came out of the secret room that day, and was about to go home to rest for a while, but Han Shixin called her urgently from behind.

"What's wrong?" Liu Man'er stretched.

"Boss, you really have a big heart. You don't know that the book dealers we used to work with are all clamoring to cut prices." Han Shixin said to Liu Man'er anxiously.

"Reduce the price?" Liu Man'er looked at Han Shixin, not in a hurry, and still walked forward, "The price we gave them is already very low."

"But..." Han Shixin hesitated to speak, and said: "But you announced our printing method before, and they said that if we refused to print it, they would find someone else to print it."

"Oh..." Liu Man'er nodded thoughtfully and said, "I heard that many of them were just small book sellers at first, and they prospered because of us. "

"Although that's what I said, but a businessman values ​​profits, so how could he talk to you about such feelings." Han Shixin felt that Liu Man'er was really naive.

"You're right." Liu Man'er nodded again, stopped suddenly, smiled at Han Shixin, and said, "Don't worry, let them hang out for a few days first, and by the way, the workers in our printing workshop will also have a holiday, and they too Thanks for your hard work."

"But……"

Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Han Shixin was even more worried. Does Liu Man'er's words mean that the printing workshop really can't continue?
But seeing her full of confidence, Han Shixin feels that this possibility is very slim.

"Boss, if you have any clever tricks, just tell me." Han Shixin felt that his heart was really suspended in mid-air, fluttering.

"Hush..." Liu Man'er put her finger to her mouth, and made a gesture of silencing Han Shixin, but she wanted to take the opportunity to clean up some people and go out in order to avoid what happened before.

Han Shixin is a person who is not very good at disguising. He does not know the actual situation, so he will show a worried look. If he shows a worried look, the people below will be chaotic. Someone jumps out.

After all, now that she has improved printing, she needs fewer workers than before.

"Now the orders are slowly decreasing. Take advantage of the present, you can sell all our printing tools and these movable type sets." Liu Man'er suddenly said to Han Shixin.

"Boss, do you have a way or no way?" Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Han Shixin panicked even more.

"There is a way." Liu Man'er patted him on the shoulder, but said again: "Remember, I will exchange all these things for money. If you don't sell them, I will still have to deduct your wages."

"Then why are you?" Han Shixin wanted to ask more questions, but Liu Man'er had already strode away.

"Alas..." Han Shixin stood there and sighed.

Immediately, the second-in-command came over and asked him, "Shopkeeper, how is it? Is there anything the boss can do?"

"She said there is a way." Han Shixin replied.

"What's the way?" The person who asked the question was an old woodblock worker at the beginning of the printing workshop. Regarding the private issue, I didn't hide it too much, I just told the truth: "The boss asked me to sell these printing tools and movable type."

"That's okay?" Hearing this, the other engraving master suddenly panicked, and he said negatively: "Oh, I don't know if my master was bewitched or something. I want to announce the movable type printing method. Now Our printing shop is going to be dissolved."

"Hey, don't say that. It's all about Tie Dan and Li Shizhu. If they hadn't leaked our printing method, why would the boss do this?" said the rather old engraver.

The food here is good, the wages are high, Liu Man'er and Han Shixin respect him a lot, and to be honest, he hopes that the printing workshop will continue well.

"It's too late to say this now, I really want to get those two and beat them up again!" A young steward who had just been promoted heard their conversation and said angrily from the side: "It's them, That's why the owner is so angry!"

"Oh, she's a woman after all, so she's too impulsive." The old engraver commented.

"Everyone, don't panic, I've been with my boss for so long, she must have something to do." In this crowd of echoes and panic, Han Shixin's explanation seemed so feeble.

"The guy who eats will sell everything, what else can he do?" The slightly younger engraver smiled contemptuously and walked away.

"Okay, everyone is gone, it's time to work." Han Shixin waved and drank when he saw more and more people watching.

"Alas..." There were sighs and sighs, and the guys scattered around in dejection, and went to work.

There are no new orders, and the original orders are gradually being printed, and the laziness of these guys is shown. Han Shixin sees that there are indeed no orders, so it is not good to scold them. He is now in a state of desperation for the order, how can he be in the mood Never mind that.

At this time, Liu Man'er came to inspect the printing workshop. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't disturb anyone when she came in. She just looked around the printing workshop.

Liu Man'er uses modern management, and this printing workshop is also divided into workshops. However, after visiting several workshops in a row, I found that most of the people inside are lazy and gossiping together, and there are papers everywhere on the ground. The crumbs were not cleaned, ink was thrown everywhere, and many molds for printing movable type were not sorted and put away.

Of course, there are still some people who are working hard, but such people are very few.

Some people saw her and immediately stood upright, but seeing that she didn't seem to say anything, they continued to chat with people, probably thinking that the printing house was going to close down anyway, and she couldn't control them.

Only some workers in a workshop, under the organization of a young manager, are cleaning the movable type without order.

Arriving at this workshop, Liu Man'er's eyes lit up immediately. The floor was very clean, and the movable type was neatly arranged. Some of them were being loosened from the floor, and they were going to be sent to the raw material warehouse for storage.

When Liu Man'er saw the workshop, she almost wondered if these people knew in advance that she was coming to inspect it, so they cleaned the workshop so clean.

"Boss." The steward didn't just sit there and supervise like the other stewards, he was also scrubbing the movable type himself, seeing Liu Man'er coming, he quickly put down his things and bowed to salute Liu Man'er.

Startled by his voice, the other people also put down the things in their hands, saluted Liu Man'er in disarray, "Master."

"Are you the manager of this workshop?" Liu Man'er looked at his clothes and raised her eyes to ask.

"Yes." The young man answered neatly. Seeing Liu Man'er's probing gaze, he felt his scalp tingling. Could it be that he did something wrong?

"What's your name?" Liu Man'er asked again.

"Little Yuan Yulin." The young man replied.

"Yuan Yulin, right?" Liu Man'er looked at him and nodded slightly, and said, "You have a good name. You are young, who promoted you to be in charge?"

"If you go back to the owner's house, shopkeeper Han will personally promote you." Yuan Yulin didn't know what Liu Man'er meant by asking this question, and felt a little uneasy for a while.Seeing Liu Man'er's contemptuous attitude, as if he had doubts about Yuan Yulin, the people under him felt a little angry.

"What kind of contract did you sign with me?" Liu Man'er asked again, she actually wanted to ask if this young man signed a contract of prostitution with her.

Some of the people in this printing workshop are servants that Liu Man'er asked Han Shi to buy, and some are hired from outside, and Liu Man'er can't tell the difference.

"If you go back to the employer, the younger one will sign a ten-year long-term contract." Yuan Yulin replied.

After hearing this, Liu Man'er did not speak, but wandered around the workshop. Yuan Yulin followed her all the time. Seeing that she was silent, he felt more and more disturbed. He thought Liu Man'er was thinking about it. He was about to be kicked out of the printing workshop, he didn't want to leave the printing workshop, when he was down and out, it was Steward Han who gave him a job so that he could make a living, and even became a steward, and now his monthly salary is quite considerable.

"Boss, are you really going to sell this printing workshop?" Yuan Yulin couldn't help asking when Liu Maner didn't speak for a long time.

Liu Man'er sat down on the teacher's chair in the corner, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You are just a long-term worker in my family, what right do you have to ask me?"

"Little talkative." Seeing Liu Maner's displeasure, Yuan Yulin quickly bowed and apologized to Liu Maner.

"It's not your fault, you're still too young." Liu Man'er shook her head and asked again: "Come on, tell me, where did you hear this news? Did Han Shixin tell you?"

"Everyone else spreads it like this." Yuan Yulin said aggrievedly.

"Rumors only stop with wise men. You are a manager, and your superior is Han Shixin. Since Han Shixin didn't say anything, why don't you ask me about this rumor?" Liu Man'er snorted softly.

"I know I'm wrong." Yuan Yulin bowed again, Liu Man'er motioned him to get up, and said, "But among the managers in these workshops, you've done a pretty good job. I appreciate you very much, and I just hope you get rid of this problem." The two faults I just mentioned."

"Yes!" Yuan Yulin was overjoyed when he thought he would be punished, but he was praised instead.

"Okay, help me call Han Shixin, I have something to ask him!" Liu Man'er ordered.

Yuan Yulin agreed, and went to find Han Shixin. Before leaving, he ordered a clever boy in the workshop to wash his hands and make tea for Liu Man'er.

When Han Shixin came over, Liu Man'er was playing with a teacup, seeing her expression of neither sadness nor joy, Han Shixin was also a little apprehensive, thinking what happened to the boss, why didn't he say something at home, and came here.
