Chapter 346: Chapter 333: I’m Afraid

This did fulfill his wish, and also helped Zhuang Qingning.

There’s no need to overthink it.

Fan Wcnxuan nodded, “I agree to this matter, I will arrange for Jinzhou depending on the situation. As for the younger brother of Miss Zhuang you mentioned, I will observe him carefully. You can rest assured, eldest son.”

“Thank you, Mr. Fan.” Chu Jinnian raised his hand slightly, “A fresh batch of tea has just arrived, please have some, Mr. Fan.”

Fan Wcnxuan picked up the tea cup, appearing somewhat thoughtful.

Chu Jinnian responded with a slight smirk.

Zhuang Qingning came to look at the tofu skin and century eggs workshops.

The workshop work is now skillfully done, with the workers methodically carrying out their respective tasks.

Seeing this, Zhuang couldn’t help but nod in approval.

“The weather has gotten a bit cooler these days, and everyone is clamoring to work for a longer time each day,” Zhou Daya laughed.

Zhou Daya was initially assigned to work in the tofu skin workshop. Because she was quick to learn, responsible, diligent and had a very strong sense of responsibility, Zhuang Qingning had entrusted her with managing all matters concerning the tofu skin workshop.

As for Zhou Daya, she did not disappoint Zhuang Qingning’s hopes and carried out this task exceedingly well.

Compared to the timidity she showed when they first met, Zhou Daya is now able to hold her own and displays great confidence. She also speaks with great poise.

As for her comment about people wanting to work more, this is due to new wage disbursement methods Zhuang Qingning had recently implemented based on basic salaries and performance bonuses.

Besides receiving their wages from daily work, according to the overall production of the workshop at the end of the month, additional dividends are given.

This way, to earn higher wages, the workshop’s production must be high. To achieve high output, more work needs to be done and only those who work hard can make it, which leads to many workers wishing for cooler weather so they can earn more wages and double their income.

“I know everyone is in a rush, but I must remind you all that while the weather is cooling down in the morning and evening, it’s still very hot in the afternoon. Don’t only focus on making money and neglect your health,” Zhuang Qingning said with a laugh, “We’re still not in the peak season of tofu skin. Once winter comes, the supply of tofu skin might not meet the demand, so we will need to produce more. Even if you want to take a break, I won’t allow it.”

“I need to remind everyone that there will always be opportunities to make money, but your health is most important. If you get sick from the heat and the money earned can’t even cover the medical expenses, it would be a loss.”

After late autumn, after the frost has fallen, vegetables won’t grow anymore and dried vegetables will be relied on for sustenance. Tofu skin is one of them and because it’s a time of abundance after the autumn harvest, people consume more stewed dishes. Tofu skin is a great addition to these dishes and people won’t mind paying a slightly higher price for it.

When it comes to the Lunar New Year, people will buy these items in large quantities. Firstly, to prepare festive dishes and secondly, there tends to be a higher number of weddings during this time, and tofu skin is an indispensable dish at banquets. So this will be the peak selling period of tofu skin.
