Chapter 156 Busy feet do not touch the ground
"Oh, my dear, why did you buy so many stone mills again?"
A woman came close to Ding Xiang. Along the way, she saw Lao Li carrying Da Gua and Pearl, and knew that he was doing work for Ding Xiang.
So, several women from the village who had nothing to do every day came back with the bullock cart.
Ding Xiang silently glanced at the inquiring woman and said, "Of course I'm making pastries. I didn't expect that I have hired so many people. Naturally, I need a few more stone mills."
"Yes, yes, you are right." The woman nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Hehe, I don't know when you will need to recruit people again, please give my girl a chance."
The salary of fifty copper coins a day is now the first in Linjia Village, and even in villages ten miles away.
She was also a step too late and missed fifty cents, not to mention how upset she was.
"It's easy to say, everyone will have a chance in the future." Ding Xiang replied with a rare good temper.
When the woman heard this, she narrowed her eyes happily and kept praising Lilac for being such a nice person and having a broad mind.
Not to be outdone, other women came to flatter him one after another.
"Da Gua Niang, don't forget us, you are the most powerful person in our village, we all depend on you."
"Don't say that, everyone. What ability can I have on my own? I still need the help of others."
These women felt more comfortable when Ding Xiang spoke so politely.
They all lamented that Widow Ding is indeed different today.
"Okay, we have to work here. Sisters-in-law and aunts, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it."
Some people wanted to stay and looked inside, but thought they might disturb Ding Xiang.
This annoyed her and caused her not to come to him when good things happened in the future, so she suppressed her curiosity.
After bidding farewell politely to Ding Xiang, they all left together, supervising each other.
Several strong laborers in the family, together with Lao Litou, began to move the stone mill.
Grandma Lin's house is next door, and when she heard the noise, several men from her family came out to help.
Today's lilac, in front of them, is a piece of delicious food, and they must treat it well.
After everything was prepared, Ding Xiang thanked the men at Grandma Lin's house and asked the girls to start working.
As for kneading the dough, although Ding Xiang was willing to teach the four girls, she didn't want to make it too public, so she did the work of kneading the dough in the kitchen.
Fortunately, the kitchen is big enough for five people.
In the kitchen, Ding Xiang stared at the four girls and taught them something from time to time.
Huajiao also listened very seriously and was able to knead the dough in a short time.
But the one who learned the fastest and kneaded the dough the best was Qian Xiaoyu, who was very thoughtful.
As for watching the girls working outside, Ding Xiang left it to Pearl, and that girl was quite happy with the job.
She actually prefers to instruct others to do work rather than doing it herself.
For the first time, Pearl felt that she was one step closer to becoming a master.
"No, your soybean flour is not ground finely enough. Grind it again."
I don’t know since when, Pearl started to find fault with others and deliberately made things difficult for the girls.
The girls saw that she was Ding Xiang's daughter, so in order to keep their job, they dared not speak out in anger.
Now, Pearl felt even more proud and felt more like a master.
This matter was soon known to Ding Xiang, and Pearl's supervisory career came to an end.
Back to doing housework again, cleaning the yard, doing laundry, doing whatever I can, but I just can’t sit around doing nothing.
This undoubtedly gave Pearl the feeling of falling from heaven to hell all at once.
The dissatisfaction with Ding Xiang slowly emerged again.
At this moment, the new hatred is coupled with the old hatred, and it becomes more and more annoying.
Ding Xiang didn't know what Pearl was thinking at all. Firstly, Pearl was too good at pretending in front of her. Secondly, even if she found some clues, she would misjudge the child's character and not attract much attention.
This time, Dingxiang asked the girls to make a total of ten thousand pastries.
Among them, there were 3,000 donkeys rolling around, 4,000 fortune cakes, and 3,000 rice duck eggs.
On the first day of work, everyone was in good spirits and worked very hard.
Everyone has finished their work before getting off work.
Lilac was not a rigid person either. Now that the work was done, she asked the girls to pack their things and then go home.
The girls cheered and arrived an hour earlier than expected. Auntie was really nice.
Ding Xiang smiled, she was actually at the beginning of her career now, so she was still relatively free. If she got busy in the future, she might have to work overtime.
Well, she doesn't like working overtime. In modern times, she wouldn't let her employees work overtime, and would rather hire a few more people.
Therefore, if she is really too busy, she will recruit people in the village again.
"Okay, third brother and sister, I kept you waiting for a long time, we can start now."
