Chapter 295 Dinner Party



Chapter 295 Dinner Party

While everyone was busy in the backyard, Song Ning and Xu were also busy in the kitchen.

Today is a holiday, so Song Ning thought of getting everyone together for a meal, or in later times, a team-building dinner.

She thought that in the future, the management model of later generations would have to be adopted. Every worker should have a holiday every month, and such a dinner party should be organized every month.

In this way, workers will feel comfortable and can work more seriously and harder.

Chen Laoer and his group, plus a few young people from the village, made up a large number of people, big and small, and they set up two tables in the yard.

It was the first time for Hang An and the others to have a meal with their master, and they were a little reserved and behaved properly at first. But because a few young men from the village were there to liven up the atmosphere, eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, they soon relaxed.

During this time, Hang Shuheng also drank a few sips of light wine, stood up and said: "Everyone has worked hard recently. Next, we will have to work hard for a while. After the workshop is established, we will formulate some rules. At that time, everyone can receive monthly wages and have a holiday every month."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young people cheered and applauded.

After a few drinks, Sun Qinglai began to sigh, "I never thought that I would be able to earn so much money. Brother Shuheng, I want to toast you."

He Chunsheng said unwillingly, "Yes, I want to toast Brother Shuheng as well."

"And me, and me."

Several young men in the village raised their glasses to toast Hang Shuheng. They all knew that without Hang Shuheng, they would not have such a good opportunity.

Not only can they learn a skill, but they can also earn money and eat the best meals in the village every day. They have all the benefits of this great thing.

"Let's all drink this cup together. I can't stop you from toasting one by one."

Except for the women and children, everyone at the two tables stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Okay, everyone, feel free to eat and drink."

The men began to drink and eat meat freely. Hang An and others were no longer reserved and soon became friends with everyone.

On the other side, Song Ning also whispered to Xu, "You have worked hard to cook for them every day during this period. I will give you monthly wages in the future."

Xu said, "Madam, I just cook, it's not hard. Xiaobao's father can already earn a share, so why don't I forget about my share!"

"How can we just let it go? Everyone gets it. No one will be left behind. This is the reward for hard work and everyone deserves it."

"Thank you, Madam." Xu was touched. Madam must not know how good a master like her is.

Just because the masters treat them so well, even if they don't give them a penny, they will definitely be willing to follow their masters wholeheartedly.

After the lively dinner ended, Song Ning asked them to divide the leftovers and pack them up to take away.

Xu led several young men including Hang An to clean up the dishes, wash them, and sweep the yard. Then they returned to the county town in the dark.

Song Ning felt that it was inconvenient for them to run back and forth between the county town and the village every day. At night, she discussed with Hang Shuheng that when the workshop started construction, they should build a row of employee dormitories next to the workshop so that they could all live in the village in the future.

As for the houses in the city, you can just send someone over to take care of them every now and then.

Hang Shuheng had originally planned this, but he didn't expect that they both thought of the same thing. While the child was asleep, he hugged his wife and had sex with her. "How could we say that we are a couple? We think in sync and think of the same thing."

Song Ning pushed him away with a red face, "Get out of the way, go wash up quickly, you smell like alcohol."

Hang Shuheng was helpless. He felt that he was being disliked. He had no choice but to go and wash it obediently.

I did drink a lot of wine today, and there is indeed a smell of alcohol, but it is not particularly strong. After washing up, there is basically no smell of alcohol.

After taking a cold shower in the yard, I returned to the house feeling refreshed. My wife had already gone to bed, so even if I had a lot of thoughts on my mind, I had to rest.

The next day, Hang Shuheng went to the headman's house early in the morning and asked him to help gather people to clear the weeds on the wasteland he bought and level the land.

After giving the head of the village a sum of money for his hard work, he handed the matter over to the head of the village. The head of the village could decide how many people to gather. He only needed to discuss with the head of the village how much each person's daily wages would be.

Considering that there may be many people in need and it is impossible to provide meals, we can only subsidize their wages.

Originally, Hang Shuheng planned to give each person 20 copper coins a day, but the village head thought it was too high and inappropriate.

Some people, if they make money too easily, will become dishonest, and if you pay them too high, it will tend to spoil them into bad habits.

The final agreed upon result was eighteen copper coins per person, which was already considered high. The village head would count the number of workers and settle the payment in one lump sum after the work was completed.

So, after Hang Shuheng left, the head of the village began to review in his mind the people in the village who worked efficiently.

Estimating the time, it was almost noon and the people who worked in the fields were just coming back from the fields. The head of the village went out, rang the gong and went towards the threshing ground.

When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, they knew something had happened in the village. Many people had just returned home from the fields, put down their work tools and rushed to the threshing ground without stopping.

The village head saw that most people had arrived and was about to speak, but there was a loud noise below and he had to strike the gong.

Everyone suddenly quieted down. The head of the village raised his hand and said in a louder voice, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I want to tell you something."

"Li Zheng, tell me, why did you call everyone here? What's the matter?"

"Yes, Li Zheng, tell me what you want to say. We just came back from the fields and haven't had dinner yet!"

The head of the village pressed his palm again to signal everyone to be quiet, cleared his throat, and then said, "Everyone knows that Shuheng bought the wasteland upstream of the river in the village, right?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone became excited and rushed to ask questions.

"Li Zheng, is Shu Heng's workshop going to start construction?"

"Should we start looking for someone to do the work? How much is the daily wage?"

Suddenly, the scene became noisy again. The head of the village simply put on a stern face and kept silent, letting them talk their fill.

Someone noticed the look on the head of the village and tactfully stopped everyone from talking. "Everyone, stop arguing and let's listen to what the head of the village has to say first."

After the scene calmed down again, the village head continued, "That piece of wasteland is overgrown with weeds. We need to clean it up. Clear the weeds and level the ground."

"There are dozens of acres of land. If we want to clean it up quickly, I estimate that it will take a lot of people. Here's what I think. The families who are already working for Shuisheng will not participate. The other families can only send one person each. You can come to me to sign up. Not all of you will be selected, but don't be discouraged if you are not selected. Once this piece of land is cleaned up, Shuheng will start preparing for the opening of the workshop. At that time, you will have to do some work."
