Chapter 1245 Approachable

Chen Xu and his family gathered together to chat and have dinner. A group of leaders in the Silk Factory stood several feet away and could not hear anything. At this time, all of them were sweating profusely on their foreheads, and they were at a loss to know what to do.

After more than ten minutes, Chen Xu finally ate the food clean, put down the bowls and chopsticks and wiped his mouth and said to him: "I just saw that there seemed to be soup in the cafeteria. I'll go and see if there is any."

Two minutes later, Chen Xu made another bowl of soup from the window.

The bowl of soup looked like water, with a hint of light oil and a few chopped green onion floating inside. Chen Xu took it and took a sip and nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's okay. After adding salt, it seems that there are still bones?"

"Yes, this salt soup is for digestion, made of pork bones and lotus roots..." The employee at the window explained quickly with his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

After taking the soup for a while, Chen Xu did not return to his dining table, but walked to another dining table. Several female workers who were eating quickly put down their dishes and stood up nervously, and looked at Chen Xu at a loss.

"How about the food in the cafeteria? Can I still eat it?" Chen Xu asked with a happy look.

"Brother back, the food in the cafeteria is very good and I can eat it!" A female worker answered nervously and nervously, pulling her skirt hard and whispered.

"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk!" Chen Xu smiled and greeted several female workers, and asked while drinking soup, "Have you ever eaten moldy meals?"

"No, the food is still clean!"

"Can you eat enough? Are you hungry?"

"The cafeteria manages three meals a day. It has steamed buns in the morning, rice at noon, rice at night, rice at sometimes bread at times, and I can eat full every day!"

"Did the factory manager beat and scold you on weekdays?"

"Occasionally, if you don't do well, you will be scolded, but you have never been beaten!" Several weaver girls shook their heads together.

"Are there any vagrants nearby waiting to come to the factory to harass you?"

"There have been!" Several weaver girls secretly looked at each other and then one of them answered in a low voice.

"There are so many idle people nearby. We don't dare to leave the factory too far, otherwise we will be teased!"

"That's right, some idle men are very bad. Every day when the shift is over, people sing some vulgar songs outside the yard wall..."

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's your favorite singer!"

When talking about this topic, several young Weaver Girls instantly turned the floor building in a slight manner.

Chen Xu couldn't help but waved his hands to let them continue eating, and he changed to a table to continue chatting with several other weaver girls.

After about ten minutes of this trip, Chen Xu had already finished drinking a bowl of soup. He walked away with five dining tables. There were more than 30 people involved in the investigation. The main topic Chen Xu asked about was the production and life of these female workers on weekdays. After asking, Chen Xu also had a general understanding of the situation in the factory.

"Young Master, I have a question to ask..."

When Chen Xu was about to leave the last dining table, a little girl who looked a little clever and weird suddenly asked with a blushing cheek.

"What do you want to ask?" Chen Xu sat down again with a smile.

"You... are you the Marquis of Qinghe?" The little girl pinched her skirt tightly and looked at Chen Xu.

"Haha, what's the matter, so what's the matter?" Chen Xu looked at the girl jokingly.

"I just want to know. I heard from all over the world that only Qinghehou cares so much about us poor daughters. If you say you are not a slave, you won't believe it!"

"Hahahaha..." Chen Xu stood up happily with a smile, looked around and looked around countless eyes, nodding and shouting, "Yes, I am Chen Xu, Hou Qinghe. Today I came to Guangling Silk Factory to visit everyone!"

"It's true that it's the Marquis!"

"The Marquis actually had the same meal as us..."

"There are still several marquises..."

"I'm so excited. I actually saw the Marquis..."

The news finally confirmed, and there was a burst of exclamation in the restaurant, and almost all the weaver girls who were still eating and dining stood up and cheered.

Three or four minutes passed, and the cafeteria was gradually quieting down.

"I originally planned to visit you before May, but the court affairs were too much, so I came until July. Today I watched everyone weaving silk in the workshop. Now I have had a meal and chat with you again. I am very happy. Not only are you doing a good job, but you are working hard. The management and logistics of the silk factory are also very good. You can eat a full meal and drink clean hot water. The factory area is also very safe. As for those vulgar people outside the factory who sing in the middle of the night, the Japanese Marquis of Ming Dynasty will chat with them and let them sing at one time..."

"Hehe~" A sweet smile broke out in an instant.

"This time, my marquis inspected the silk factory, not only brought his greetings from His Majesty, but also prepared some gifts for you, including enamel washbasins, enamel tableware, perfume and soap..."

"Wow~" Every time Chen Xu said, a burst of surprise cheers broke out in the restaurant.

"This hou will get the production results of the past month. The top three with the best results will each reward a bottle of perfume, four to ten will reward a bottle of dew, the top twenty will also reward an enamel washbasin, twenty to fifty will reward an enamel tableware, and so on... everyone has ~"

"Yeah, thank you marquis~"

Chen Xu's words pushed the atmosphere of the entire canteen to the climax. At this time, as everyone ran around and told me, almost all the employees of the entire silk factory squeezed into the canteen. There were many factory security guards and logistics personnel standing outside the door, and they all couldn't help but cheer.

"No wonder my husband always said he wanted to visit the silk factory. There were so many young and handsome little ladies!" Looking at Chen Xu, who was surrounded by hundreds of female workers, Meng Wan pouted and said with a taste.

"If my husband comes alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out of the silk factory!" Ying Shiman's eyes were gentle but her face nodded helplessly.

"Hehe, my sister-in-law and the princess are afraid that Brother Xiaoxu will be seduced away by these little ladies, but Brother Xiaoxu is really handsome and elegant. If I want to marry him too!" Yu Ji said with a smile on her arms.

"I have been an official for so many years, and I have never seen such an approachable noble as the Hou of Qinghe!" Standing behind the cheering crowd, the magistrate of Guangling County was deeply moved.

"Fortunately, we have always been strictly following the rules and regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry on weekdays. Otherwise, we would have to peel off today!" A manager at the factory wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to several colleagues around him.

"Yes, a few days ago, Old Wu from the Logistics Department was saying that three meals a day were too wasteful and wanted to save a meal and share it privately..."

"Shh, ban the words, may you want to die!" The supervisor turned his face and shouted in a low voice when he heard this.

"Let's go and tell Manager Wu a few words later, telling him not to talk nonsense, and fire him immediately as soon as the Marquis leaves. This person almost killed me!" Another manager reminded him.

"Manager Wu was recommended by the county magistrate. Isn't it a bit bad to deal with it like this?"

"Hmph, just a county magistrate, I'm afraid. We are under the factory directly under the Ministry of Works and the Shaofu. Even if the county magistrate comes, he dare not make any mistakes. This is the matter, so don't discuss it!" The supervisor snorted coldly.

"Yes, I'll follow the instructions of the supervisor!" All the managers of all sizes and small in the factory agreed in a low voice.

The lunch was very lively. After Chen Xu's persuasion, the female workers were reluctant to leave the canteen after lunch. After they had all gone, Chen Xu summoned the county magistrate and the county magistrate and a group of officials from the factory and said: "The food in the canteen is good, it looks fresh, there is no rotten smell, nor moldy smell. Although the taste is almost done, it is done well overall!"

"Hu~~" A group of management teams of the factory breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart finally completely let go.

Next, Chen Xu went to the production area of ​​the staff canteen and the warehouse where grain and vegetables were stored. The overall situation was still very satisfactory. Except for mice, he basically operated according to the dietary hygiene system he had in the experimental factory. He did not find any violations. This made Chen Xu very satisfied and praised the group of people without hesitation.

After patrolling the cafeteria, Chen Xu took his family and accompanied by a group of officials to inspect the staff's accommodation and washing areas.

The factory has more than 1,000 employees, most of whom are young women and are locals from Guangling, but not all of them will leave the factory and go home every day. There are about two or three hundred people recruited from the towns and go back every half a month's holiday, and they live in the factory dormitory on weekdays.

Fortunately, Guangling is located in the south and the climate is warm and not too cold all year round. Therefore, the accommodation area adopts a simple Datong room layout, with about 50 people per dormitory, and is made of bunk beds with reed mats and thin bedding. Although it looks crowded, the ventilation and sanitation are still well maintained.

The walls of the dormitory are covered with strict sanitation and daily routines. People take turns to clean the sanitation every day. There are even the procurator-general checking the scores, which are almost exactly the same as those of the five major colleges. In Chen Xu's opinion, it is better to maintain. After all, almost all the five major colleges are men, and all of them are young women in their twenties. They are more clean and tidy. Therefore, after observation, the floors of several dormitories are clean and the beds are neatly tidy. However, some small pants and underwear are hanging on the head of the bed. Some weaver mother, who is still resting in the dormitory, saw Chen Xu and a group of men coming in, and they blushed and hid some of their clothes.

After inspecting several dormitories, I went to the washing area. The washing area was a separate yard with a wall, which was three or four acres in size. There was a sign that men stopped at the door. There was a ditch made of cement and an open-air swimming pool. It brought a stream of live water from a river outside. The water quality was very clean. All the female employees were washed in it. The yard was surrounded by bamboo poles, and the clothes were hung by the employees.

"It's not bad, the accommodation environment and hygiene are all well done, and I didn't disappoint me!" Chen Xu nodded while wiping his sweat all the way.

"Mr. Marquis, the weather is too hot. You and several Marquis come from afar. Why don't you go to the lounge to rest first? The subordinates can get some ice powder to quench their thirst?" The factory manager also said while wiping his sweat.

"Okay, the south is indeed much hotter than Xianyang. First, eat a bowl of ice powder to rest, and then use the production table for the last month to get the prize distribution quota!"

Not only was Chen Xu hot, but his wives and concubines and daughters who followed him to visit looked so hot, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan were even hot, and her cheeks were even red. However, this time she went out for thousands of miles and it was summer. Therefore, after more than two months of exercise, everyone gradually got used to this fatigue. Ying Shiman and Meng Wan were completely unable to bear it from the beginning and can face it calmly now. It can be seen that although she suffered a lot, her health was much better than before.
