Chapter 148: Checking Accounts and Paying Wages
Chen An and Chen Ning had the same expression. They really had never thought about hiring people...
Cheng Yue knew that everyone would react like this when she said she was buying people, so she had to explain in detail: "We found people from our own village before because we know their background and we can use them with confidence.
But isn’t it hard to find people in the village now? The county town is recruiting workers, but we don’t know them, so how can we hire them casually?
It’s different for the people we bought. We hold the indentures in our hands, and they are our own people. They generally won’t betray their masters.”
To put it bluntly, servants these days are no different from livestock. They are all private property of their masters. The masters can sell them at will if they are not satisfied, and no one will pursue the matter even if they are beaten to death.
Chen An has been to many places, so he naturally knows that the people who are bought are indeed more loyal.
"Then let's take some time to go to the brokerage firm. Even though we're buying someone, we still have to find out more and make a good choice."
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Of course."
As long as one is a human being, there will be good and evil, good and bad. It has nothing to do with one's identity. It is best to ask clearly about one's origins.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning thought that since their parents had already made the decision, they wouldn't say anything. They didn't understand the matter anyway, so they had to listen to their parents.
After the family finished talking, it was time for lunch. However, Cheng Yue was too lazy to cook today, so she simply asked Chen Tong to go to the kitchen to get out a large basin and directly scoop out a large basin of chicken from the space.
A pot of local chicken and steamed buns stewed before coming here became emergency food.
Cheng Yue told Chen Tong and Chen Ning, "Say you bought it from a restaurant, don't let it slip."
Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong are still here, so if they ask, I will definitely give them a heads up in advance.
The two sisters winked and said, "Mom, we know!"
After that, the family went to the backyard. After dinner, Cheng Yue said she wanted to hold a meeting.
When Chen Lin and the other two heard that there was going to be a meeting, they all perked up. Although they were busy with their work, they did not miss any information with their eyes and ears.
It was so noisy this morning that I didn’t even dare to think about how many gift boxes we had ordered.
There must be new tasks in the meeting!
Cheng Yue looked at the expectant eyes of the three people and said with a smile: "I am here to make you happy. If I were to say something, you should have guessed it!"
The three of them all had silly smiles on their faces, waiting for Cheng Yue's next words.
Cheng Yue did not keep anyone in suspense and directly announced today's scheduled results. Finally, she said:
“I’ll leave the stewed food to you three. There will definitely be new orders tomorrow, and the quantity won’t be small. You’ll just have to work hard recently.
It's almost the end of the month, so I'll settle the accounts this afternoon and we'll pay the workers.
In addition, now that you three are able to get started, your wages will increase starting next month, to eight hundred wen per month.
If you work hard, the better our business is, the higher your wages will be!"
It is necessary to paint a big pie and pump up the blood. Anyway, her big pie is real and the blood is hot.
As for the bonus, Cheng Yue didn't say anything. She wanted to distribute some rice, flour, pork, and rice dumplings as welfare during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was just right to distribute the bonus for overtime work together.
In fact, according to the current workload, 800 wen a month is not a lot, but this is the salary we agreed on before, so it can only be paid this way.
It’s not good to have a salary increase too fast. At worst, you can just give yourself more bonuses.
Chen Lin and his friends didn't expect that there would be more than one piece of good news, but that they would come one after another, and they felt their brains were rumbling.
They were so happy that they didn't know what to say to be able to order such a gift box, and now they get the good news of a salary increase in the second month?
For a moment, they were so excited that they didn't know what to say. It was Zhao Changyong who spoke first: "Thank you, sister-in-law Cheng Yue. It's not hard at all. We will definitely work hard!"
Not only are the wages high, but they also eat well and sleep well. The most important thing is that Brother Chen An and Sister Cheng Yue are so nice that they don’t feel it’s hard even if they don’t raise their wages!
He had been a peddler going from street to street and had suffered so much. But there was nothing in the world more comfortable than working in a braised food shop!
He really would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
After receiving his wages, he would buy new clothes, rice, noodles and meat for his parents, brother, sister-in-law, nephew and his little Hua!
Zhang Shaowen came back to his senses and was equally excited, "Aunt Cheng Yue, me too, I will definitely work hard and strive to get a high salary!"
He failed in his studies and thought the sky was falling. He was depressed for several years. It was Aunt Cheng Yue who helped him. How could he not do his best?
He must seize this opportunity and pursue what he wants down to earth!
Besides, wages have also increased. Maybe when Xiaoyan recovers from her injuries, he can save money to marry her without his grandparents having to spend any more money...
Zhao Changyong is content with what he has, while Zhang Shaowen is ambitious. No matter what, Cheng Yue likes them both very much.
As human beings, no matter if it is for what you love or what you want, as long as you have the heart, you will have the motivation to become better and do things well.
After they both expressed their opinions, Chen Lin also smiled innocently, "Thank you, mom!"
Needless to say, this is his own shop and he wants to do well more than anyone else.
Moreover, his salary was paid the same amount, but his parents didn’t want any of it and told him to save it for himself.
He also had his own little idea, which was to save up enough money to buy a gold hairpin for his mother! He also had to save up dowries for his sisters, and of course he had to save up the betrothal gift for his own wife.
As for my dad, I'm a little worried, I'll talk about it when the time comes...
After everyone finished their passionate speeches, Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's get started!"
After that, everyone dispersed, each returning to their respective positions and performing their respective duties.
Chen Lin and the other two continued to prepare the chicken and duck for braised food.
Cheng Yue took Chen Tong and Chen Ning to check the accounts. In addition to paying wages, they also had to send the share to Mr. Chen Sanye.
Chen An was also watching, listening and taking notes. With Cheng Yue's guidance, the three children were able to write and count.
Only he can do accounting, but he is still far from being able to read and write.
He must work hard and not be outdone by these three kids!
It took an hour for Cheng Yue and the others to settle the accounts.
She drew the account book herself, which is very convenient for keeping accounts. There are two books in total, one for expenses and one for income.
The cost details were in her hands, and Chen Lin had the income details. After the calculations, everything would be clear once they were checked.
Chen Tong counted, "A few hundred... Mother, the total income is three hundred and thirty-five taels, minus various costs, the net profit is two hundred and eighty taels.
Mr. Chen's two-part profit is fifty-five taels, so we still have two hundred and twenty-five taels!"
Seeing the gift box worth more than 120 taels, Chen Tong and Chen Ning were not shocked. They had seen the world and could not afford to be startled.
He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but call out to God.
More than two hundred taels! I made more than two hundred taels in just one month. There is no one as amazing as my mother in the whole village!
No wonder my mother said she wanted to build a second courtyard and buy someone. She must have calculated the expenses long ago. This is what it feels like to be rich!
"Okay, let's go pay the workers!"
Cheng Yue smiled, then took the wages to be paid, packed the account book and Mr. Chen San's fifty-five taels, and prepared to send them to the Chen Mansion.
Chen Lin and the other two happily took the money, pressed their fingerprints, and swore a lot.
Cheng Yue laughed, then went out and went directly to Chen's house. Mr. Chen San had already told her the address last time.
When the doorman heard it was Cheng Yue, he politely took the money and said it was Madam Chen's instruction and there was no need to look at the account book.
Cheng Yue had no choice but to put away the account book. She would just keep the account and wait for a chance to meet again.
I have to sigh, it's hard to say whether Mrs. Chen trusts her or has a pure investment mentality. She is willful and rich!
