Chapter 344 Li Lanzhen takes a boat...
After breakfast, Li Lanzhen took a boat to Youzhou City.
She came back at noon.
There were 32 other people, big and small, coming back with her.
There is no other way, so we just plan to buy some strong men to work in the vermicelli factory.
As a result, he first fell in love with a manager named Xie Li in the pawnshop.
He used to be a steward in his former employer's house.
Li Lanzhen thought he was a nice person, so she bought him. As a result, his wife and two children were also among the group of people.
Because they committed a crime, their original employer sold them all.
Li Lanzhen couldn't bear to separate the family, so she bought back his wife, ten-year-old daughter, and eight-year-old son.
There are many other cases like his, either a family of several people or brothers and sisters.
Li Lanzhen really couldn't bear to separate them. The world had just gone through a famine, and couples and children were separated, resulting in many lonely people and orphans.
Therefore, they valued each other and were inseparable, so Li Lanzhen fulfilled their wish and bought all of them back.
The vermicelli factory was built, and there were large kangs in the sitting rooms.
There is a box on the big kang, and all the bedding is complete.
On the way back, I passed by a clothing shop and bought two sets of summer clothes for each of them.
He also bought a lot of coarse cloth and gave it all as a thank-you gift.
"Thank you, housekeeper. Please take care of these cloths and make autumn and winter clothes for everyone.
The kitchen of the vermicelli factory is fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils.
In the grain cabinet, there are ten days' worth of dark noodles, sweet potatoes, and brown rice.
You can pick the vegetables you need every day from the vegetable field next to the canteen.
There are tables, chairs and benches in the dining room.
Li Lanzhen took them to the dining room.
After sitting down, the 32 servants who were bought knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.
Xie Li clasped his fists and said, "Boss, please give me a lecture."
Li Lanzhen's face darkened, completely different from her gentle demeanor she had been throughout the trip.
He glanced at the 32 people, big and small, on the ground.
"First and foremost, I ask for loyalty and no betrayal!
If he violates it, I will make him live a life worse than death!
I guess none of you 32 people want to give it a try.
The second rule is to work diligently and not be lazy or slack.
Once discovered, there is no way out.
Third, we are in the business of cooking, so we must pay attention to hygiene.
Clothes should be clean, head and face should be clean, hands should be clean, and fingernails should be trimmed.
As long as you work hard here, I will ensure that you will have food and clothing.
The last one is to work here for three years without violating the rules I mentioned and without making any mistakes.
Your children under the age of 14 can be freed from slavery and restored to commoner status so that they can go to school and take the imperial examinations.
Everyone kneeling on the ground looked up at Li Lanzhen with tears in their eyes in surprise.
They didn't expect that coming here would help them earn a good future for their children and grandchildren.
They all bowed their heads and kowtowed, expressing their loyalty.
"Please rest assured, sir. We will never betray our master and will work diligently."
Li Lanzhen motioned for them to stand up and gave instructions for the thank you gift.
“Thank you, housekeeper. Please arrange accommodation for everyone and arrange for people to cook in the kitchen.
Take a good shower and have some rest today.
I will come over tomorrow morning to teach you how to make vermicelli."
After settling them down, Li Lanzhen returned to the kitchen.
After a while, lunch began.
Li Lanzhen walked into the dining room and everyone looked at her.
They also saw that Li Lianzhen brought back more than 30 people of all ages.
After getting off the boat, we were taken to the vermicelli factory.
Everyone knows that these people are the ones who are going to run the vermicelli factory.
Although everyone was anxious to know how Li Lanzhen made vermicelli from sweet potatoes.
But no one said it out loud, and everyone knew it clearly.
The technique for making vermicelli is Li Lanzhen's own.
Li Lanzhen also knew that people in ancient times still attached great importance to the owners of technology, that is, the patent rights of goods.
If you don't learn from a master, or if someone possesses this skill, he or she can take the initiative to teach it to others.
Others are not allowed to get involved, otherwise they will be sentenced.
Li Lanzhen didn't explain anything and just sat at Ye's table and started eating.
Li Erhan took a few bites of food and glanced at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lianzhen looked up at him.
"Dad, do you have anything to say?"
"My dear, the machines you requested are all ready. When do you think we can move them over?"
"Okay, I'll go get someone to move it after dinner."
Du Yanqing and Pang Pang were constantly shoveling food into their mouths, but their ears were always paying attention to what Li Lanzhen was saying.
They were like cats scratching their heads, eager to know what kind of vermicelli factory Li Lanzhen had set up.
But they also knew that they couldn't ask first, otherwise it would be too embarrassing, and the prince would punish them severely.
The two men looked up guiltily and glanced at the prince who was sitting at the table with the children.
It just so happened that the prince was looking at the two of them coldly.
The two were startled and quickly lowered their heads and started eating obediently.
Su Beisheng, who was sitting next to the prince, felt like there were needles sitting on his butt.
He kept moving, listening to what Li Lanzhen was saying.
The prince stretched out two fingers of his left hand and gently tapped twice beside his bowl.
Su Beisheng understood immediately, sat down quickly, and started eating attentively.
The machines that Li Erhan was talking about are presses and crushers.
This was started after the beginning of spring, when Li Lanzhen gave Li Xishui the drawings.
Of course, all of these machines are made of wood.
So Li Lanzhen felt that wooden machines would wear out very quickly.
Let Li Erhan get a few machines ready in a month.
Currently, ten units of various types have been completed.
After lunch, Li Lanzhen drove a horse-drawn carriage to the vermicelli factory.
She planned to park the carriage at the vermicelli factory.
You can use it to pull sweet potatoes, potatoes, or when you go out.
After a few trips, the horse-drawn carriage pulled all the machines to the production workshop of the vermicelli factory.
Once you enter the production area, there is a large dressing room.
All workers need to change into work clothes here.
The first batch of work clothes were blue labor protection work clothes that Li Lanzhen took out from the space.
This time she came to Youzhou City, she also bought a lot of black and gray coarse cloth.
It was handed over to Butler Xie, who was asked to arrange people to make the second and third batches of work clothes according to the same style and everyone's body shapes.
Of course, work clothes also include the hat on the head.
Nowadays, both men and women have long hair and don’t wear hats, because she is afraid that her hair will fall into the hat.
Li Lanzhen also repeatedly reminded them to pay attention to hygiene before starting work.
You should take a shower every day, change clothes and trim your fingernails.
Personal hygiene is checked every day.
The vermicelli factory had a bathroom, and it was very large, similar to the big bathhouses of the era when Li Lanzhen lived.
There is one room for men and one for women. Hot water is available all day long in a large iron pot.
But they didn’t use a shower head. Li Lanzhen couldn’t make that yet. They just used a bath tub.
Prepare the hot water yourself, wash the clothes in the wooden tub, and then wash the dirty clothes. Then pour the water in the tub into the small ditch along the wall of the bathroom to the outside.
