Chapter 308: Have you had enough of leisurely days?

I've been taking small paths and mountain roads all the way; Blazing Flame likes to run in the woods and rarely takes the official road. She looked at Zhuang Yan somewhat innocently.

I'll have someone rush to search in the direction of the capital right away. Zhuang Yan couldn't eat another bite, put down his chopsticks, and hurried out.

Second Master Zhuang understood, and Madam Zhuang couldn't help laughing.

You said this month has arrived, there are still a few days left, and then the month will be over—I'm worried!

Your eldest uncle and second uncle discussed it, and your second uncle went to the capital to meet you, but he didn't expect you to avoid the official road, so you missed each other.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the Zhuang family members, feeling warm inside.

Grandma, don't worry about me—I know martial arts. She knows martial arts, has concealed her identity, and even if she can't win a fight, running away is no problem.

This person is old, knows everything in his heart, but just can't control it.

Madam Zhuang patted Yun chu's hand, laughed and said, with no trace of worry on her face.

This is my great-aunt's letter.

Jiang Yunchu took out a package; inside were items brought by her great-aunt, second aunt, and grandmother for the Zhuang family.

So much stuff—did you bring it all on horseback?

Madam Zhuang didn't first look at the things, but gave Yun chu a somewhat reproachful look, saying, "You don't need to bring anything anymore; we lack nothing at home. When you're out, the less you carry, the better. Just bringing news of Miaomiao is already enough."

With so much stuff, how did this child manage to carry it all along the way?

I can carry it; Grandma, don't worry—see what my great-aunt brought for you.

Jiang Yunchu opened the package; there were quite a few items, but they were obviously streamlined.

This is for you, Second Brother; this is from Miaomiao; and this is from Miaomiao's mother-in-law. The old lady held the letter, looked at her daughter's handwriting, and arranged the items.

He handed a brand-new robe to Second Brother, then also gave him a ruyi pendant; looking at the daughter's letter, one could feel her feelings.

The Kang clan managing to do this already shows their thoughtfulness.

Moreover, seeing her own daughter doing well, the worry she'd carried for years finally eased a bit.

That night, Jiang Yunchu told the three elders about the Kang clan's children, about Kang Wen's amusing antics, about Kang Ziwei's determined goal, and about Kang Nai Xin's strategies.

In the study, the vivid, lively sounds continued without end.

I don't know when Zhuang Wei returned to the Zhuang family, but anyway he wasn't seen the next day.

Host!

The Host has arrived.

Jiang Yunchu came to the workshop at once; the gatekeeper, seeing her, was full of excitement, and his whole spirit changed.

Host!

Host.

Ya Gu also walked out of the workshop and then made a few gestures.

I've heard about it; everyone has worked hard.

She said it gently, her whole face smiling.

Lustrous Jade Soap didn't open its own shop in Jiangnan, but it stocked all the Zhuang clan's shops—half of its output went to Zhuang clan shops, the other half to the capital.

Since the first batch of Lustrous Jade Soap arrived from Jiangnan, the capital's shops have greatly eased production pressure, letting those waiting in line finally breathe a sigh of relief—households no longer run out.

Not hard.

Right, we're not hard-pressed.

Just then, a young man loudly asked, "Host, the Lustrous Jade Soap workshop is already up and running, the money it's making makes me jealous—when can our workshop start up?"

This is a large workshop; previously there were five or six small workshops, each responsible for different things, but only the Lustrous Jade Soap workshop has produced output, involving the formula—other workshops could only watch, while that side was bustling busily, they had nothing to do in the other workshops.

I truly hope they'll one day be that busy too.

You guys, it'll be soon—have you had enough of leisurely days? Jiang Yunchu asked that person.

That person quickly nodded, "I've had enough long ago—I want to earn money and marry a wife."

The young man quickly shouted loudly, making the surrounding people burst into laughter.

Good, if you have that determination, future earnings—just put them in a cloth bag, okay?

That's what I said!

After Jiang Yunchu finished speaking, she still firmly nodded, looking at each person below, she also seemed to be stirred with some excitement.

Good.

Very good.

In that moment, the people below—men, women, old and young—all laughed heartily; even the children playing nearby imitated them, raising their arms and shouting 'Good.'

Alright, everyone do what they should; from now on, days will keep getting better—no need to envy Lustrous Jade Soap, every workshop will be just as good.

She clapped her hands, then told everyone to get back to work.

Ya Gu walked over, and the workshop's person in charge also came over.

Host, this is the recent output. The person in charge directly handed over the ledger.

Jiang Yunchu glanced at it roughly, got a rough number—in just one and a half months, the workshop had actually produced over ten thousand pieces of Lustrous Jade Soap; even though she had some guesses, she was still shocked by that figure.

Ya Gu, how did you arrange this?

Jiang Yunchu looked at Ya Gu; although the goods are important, people are more important.

Ya Gu smiled, then stretched out her hand to make a gesture; in her gesturing, Jiang Yunchu fell into deep thought.

I never expected……

Due to few molds, and demolding and boxing being easy, it didn't need many people; as the molds increased, she found some people were busy, some idle.

So she simply brought out another team of those with relatively good skills, who just needed training.

Then one team worked the day shift, another the night shift; only those whose skills truly fell short were assigned to demolding and boxing.

Thus, what was originally one team's productivity she reconfigured into two teams, doubling the output.

"The night shift workers should be made to work a bit harder; arrange some young and strong people, and increase their wages a little." Jiang Yunchu had just looked at the ledger; the workers' monthly wages are also recorded there, with no distinction between day and night.

Ya Gu, upon hearing this, her eyes crinkled with a smile; she quickly nodded and gestured with her right hand to show she understood.

After Ya Gu left, the person in charge came over and said, "Host, previously making rouge and powder required a large amount of flowers as raw material; now the flowers cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise they will wilt."

"Over at the warehouse, there is dried flower pollen, and now there is quite a pile of it."

Jiang Yunchu, after hearing his words, said, "Fresh flowers will start being picked tomorrow, then we'll set up a new workshop; I will need it tomorrow."
