Chapter 117: Handicraft Shop Recruitment
Chapter 117: Handicraft Shop Recruitment
Ji Sannai's granddaughter, Da Ni'er, earns 10 cents a day, and it is said that her salary will be increased.
Ji Ernai's granddaughter is Da Fangzi, who is good at embroidery and has passed the test. She has just registered, and if Ji Xiaobei doesn't approve it, the two of them will not agree.
The three old women were greeting each other's parents, spitting and kicking each other.
Here, Aunt Song and Shugen's wife were trying to persuade Ji Xiaobei while scolding Ergou's wife for being a bad person and for making their sister-in-law so angry that she almost died.
Although the other women did not take action, they all clenched their fists. As soon as Aunt Song took action, they would rush forward and beat to death these two bitches who had cut off their source of income.
When Ergou's wife and Sanhu's wife saw that things were going to get bad and were afraid they would be beaten up by the whole village, they held hands and ran away.
When Old Mrs. Ji saw her two daughters-in-law running away, she realized that she couldn't hold on any longer, so she quickly stopped and ran home behind her daughters-in-law.
The women were fighting, and Ergou and Sanhu didn't want to intervene, so they left cursing.
Ji Dasheng was eager to teach Ji Ergou a lesson, but he was pinned down by his two sons and could not move.
"Get up, Bei, the person is gone!" Aunt Song said in Ji Xiaobei's ear.
Ji Xiaobei stopped crying immediately and said something to Lin who was lying on the ground.
Lin struggled for a while and sat up, crying, "You all saw it, the people in the old house bullied us, an orphan and a widow, in this way.
Daniel, you are such a shameless person, you see what kind of life we are living…"
The women shed a few tears and advised: "Mother Xiaobei, it's a happy day today, don't cry, get up quickly!"
"Oh! It is true!" Lin immediately stopped crying, wiped her tears and stood up straight.
Ji Xiaobei: When it comes to acting, I have to admire Lin!
Erya’s two sisters-in-law have both registered, so it would be a waste if you don’t make money while you can.
"Those who have registered must not do rough labor anymore. Take good care of your hands. Go back today and embroider a handkerchief and bring it to Madam Ma for review. If it's okay, you can stay.
If your hands are not so good, you can take care of them for a while, and if they are better, you can come." Ji Xiaobei said.
Those who have registered are in high spirits, while those who were rejected because their hands did not meet the requirements are dejected.
The old women in the village took their daughters home.
"Don't chop wood at noon, take good care of your hands!" said an old woman.
Another woman heard this and laughed, "Oh, you really take it so seriously? We are just doing this for those wedding cakes.
Who knows if she can open it? I haven’t heard that their shop hasn’t opened yet and they owe 100 taels of silver...”
"Oh, I was just saying that. My daughter still has to work."
The old woman turned around and whispered to her daughter, "Go home and get your mother's vanishing cream and apply a layer of it. Did you hear me..."
The old women were whispering all the way, not optimistic about Ji Xiaobei's shop being able to succeed.
After the women returned home, they wouldn't let their daughter wash the dishes, pick wild vegetables, or chop firewood, and she was scolded...
After a while, the air in the village was filled with the fragrant smell of vanishing cream.
Heita came back carrying a thick wooden board and walked through the backyard.
Haixia poked his head out of his private wooden house and asked excitedly, "Tazi, are you going to use this board to make a desk for me?"
Black Tower: Bah! You are so beautiful!
"Boss, what do you think of this material?!" Heita asked Ji Xiaobei with a smile.
Ji Xiaobei touched it, looked up and said, "It's quite thick, perfect for a shop sign!"
Heita bared his teeth and chuckled, "Boss, you and our master have the same idea. He asked me to make it as a sign..."
"Cough cough cough..." Fu Jichang, who was sitting not far away sharpening a carving knife, coughed a few times.
Heita came over happily holding the wooden board and said flatteringly: "Master, the boss and you want to..."
Heita only felt that his butt was kicked hard, followed by Fu Jichang's blade eye.
"You just polished the board till it's smooth and you're just being lazy and playing tricks..." Fu Jichang scolded.
Heita felt wronged: Was I wrong? I was just telling the truth!
People came over to the yard one after another with embroidery works.
"Sister Xiaobei, do you think this is okay?" Dafangzi came over nervously with a handkerchief in his hand.
When Ji Xiaobei looked at the stitching, he felt that it was a bit lacking and much worse than Xiaoqi's.
As they were talking, Erya's two sisters-in-law and several young wives came over with embroidery work.
It’s slightly better than Dafangzi’s, but still can’t compare with Xiaoqi’s.
Haixia Niang looked at it, shook her head slightly, put it aside and said nothing.
When the few people saw the embroiderer's face, they knew that things were not going well, and they knew it themselves.
These embroidery works can only be sold at the cheapest price in town.
Those who are good at embroidery have all learned in an embroidery room, or they are just naturally intelligent and can do it at a glance.
Their experience comes from communication among the young wives and their own random thinking, and their embroidery work is not even up to par.
A few more people brought ready-made clothes. Haixia Niang took a look and her face became even uglier.
Ji Xiaobei had already expected this, so he wasn't too disappointed.
The group of people felt uneasy when they saw that Haixia Niang didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Ji Xiaobei pulled Haixia's mother aside and said, "Aunt, this is the level of the villagers now. Let's make do with it for now and teach her little by little. Our handicraft shop has just opened. If we hire an embroiderer from outside to provide food and accommodation, and pay her wages, I'm afraid..."
Haixia Niang quickly said, "Xiaobei, that's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that their skills will ruin the good fabrics!"
"Just focus on teaching, I'll take care of the rest!" Ji Xiaobei comforted.
After discussing with Haixia Niang, Ji Xiaobei said to them: "My cousin's mother has seen that your current craftsmanship level does not meet the shop's standards!"
The group of people looked like deflated balloons, dejected.
"However, she thinks you have some basic skills, and wants to teach you sewing and embroidery personally!" said Ji Xiaobei.
"Ah, really, Sister Xiaobei, can we learn from Madam Ma?" Dafangzi asked with wide eyes.
She had seen the flowers embroidered by Madam Ma, they looked like real ones and were so beautiful.
"Madam Ma will only teach you for seven days. After seven days, you will be assessed. Those who pass the assessment can come to work in the shop. The salary is 10 cents a day. When you become proficient, the salary will increase..."
Before Ji Xiaobei could say anything, Da Fangzi's face had already turned red with excitement. She was willing to learn from Ma Niangzi.
"However, you will not be paid for the seven days of study! Go back and discuss it with your family. If possible, the training will officially begin tomorrow."
A group of people happily took their belongings and left.
Who wouldn't want to? It costs money to go to the embroidery studio in town to learn, but Madam Ma teaches for free. Anyone who doesn't learn is a fool!
Everyone left and the yard finally became quiet.
Ji Xiaobei suddenly turned his head and saw Fu Jichang carving words seriously under the locust tree.
He was wearing a long brown straight gown, with a slender waist. The breeze brushed his black hair and swept across his straight nose.
He blew gently, blowing his hair away gracefully...
