Chapter 115 Preparation for Construction
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, after Ye Changyan finished his storytelling in Yunfeng Tower, he returned to Shanglin Village with Zhong Yunfeng to make a final inspection of the preparations before starting work.
They first confirmed with the head of the village the details of receiving several officials from the county government, and then confirmed with the head of the village's wife, Zhang, the arrangements for the employees' family representatives to watch the ceremony.
After the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow, a buffet will be held in the village to entertain guests and friends who come to watch the ceremony and villagers from surrounding villages.
The chef from Yunfeng Building would come over in the afternoon to do the preparations. Zhang was responsible for coordinating the women in the village to come over and help the chef.
The village head also made a specific list of the young and strong personnel who would be responsible for maintaining order tomorrow and showed it to Ye Changyan.
Afterwards, Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng went to the processing workshop to check it carefully one last time and made sure there were no problems. Then they went to Ye’s farm to have lunch.
We will officially start work tomorrow and start purchasing fresh milk for fermentation today, so some employees need to be on duty this afternoon.
After Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng had lunch, they arrived at the processing workshop and saw many employees already at the door.
The people who are on duty today are mainly those in the materials department who are responsible for purchasing fresh milk, and some employees in the fermentation workshop of the production department.
They all wore white hats and white aprons distributed uniformly in the processing workshop, and looked very clean and tidy at first glance.
Seeing Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng coming over, everyone greeted them enthusiastically.
Several of them were villagers from surrounding villages. Ye Changyan just got to know them during the employee training two days ago.
This was the first time they met their dream boss Zhong Yunfeng, and they were all very excited.
After several days of training, the employees had a certain understanding of their work processes and began to make preparations.
Soon, villagers came to the processing workshop with fresh milk.
The villagers were all smiling as they were about to make money from the dairy cows they had rented.
The villagers lined up consciously, and the people from the materials department began to weigh the villagers.
Ye Changyan was surprised to find that the first villager to weigh the cow was Guo Ergou, who was also the first person to rent a cow.
When he heard the weight was 26 kilograms, Guo Ergou was very happy. This was almost equal to his previous income from a busy day in the county town.
Now that he raises cattle at home, he can not only earn money but also take care of his crazy wife and silly children. This makes Guo Ergou very grateful to Ye Changyan.
After getting the money from the accountant, Guo Ergou looked at Ye Changyan and smiled gratefully. Ye Changyan also smiled at him, and Guo Ergou then picked up his own bucket and left happily.
The villagers weighed the items with great anticipation on their faces, and left with smiles on their faces after getting the money from the accountant.
This leased dairy cow really made money for the family, which is great.
After the villagers who came to deliver milk left, Ye Changyan looked at the account book. The villagers who came to deliver milk today generally had an income of 20 to 30 cents, which for an ordinary farmer's family was equivalent to a strong laborer's one-day income.
As long as the cow is well raised, it can bring at least 7,000 to 8,000 coins to a family in a year, which is a considerable income for the villagers.
When the fresh milk arrives at the fermentation workshop, the workers are already busy. Under the arrangement of the team leader, they carry out specific division of labor and ferment the fresh milk strictly according to the training process.
Zhong Yunfeng and Ye Changyan went to the processing workshop to check out the situation. Seeing that the workers were not very skilled yet, they were all doing things in an orderly manner, Zhong Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction.
The next day, the entire Shanglin Village was shrouded in a joyful and festive atmosphere.
Four cooks came to Yunfeng Tower and were busy in the makeshift kitchen under the big banyan tree. The women and wives in the village all came to help the cooks, some washing dishes, some picking vegetables, some cutting vegetables, and everyone was busy and happy.
The young and strong men in the village were responsible for moving the tables, chairs and benches from every household in the village to the foot of the big banyan tree and arranging the tables one by one.
At the processing workshop, employees, all wearing white aprons and white hats, lined up neatly in front of the workshop early in the morning.
Villagers from surrounding villages all came over to watch the fun. There were many children in the crowd. With the young and strong people in the village maintaining order, there were no children running around or fighting. Instead, they all followed the adults at home with curiosity, looking around.
Ye Changyan's family got up from bed before dawn, washed up, dressed, and went out.
The clothes that Ye Changyan and his two siblings were wearing were the new clothes that Xu and the eldest girl had helped to make for them a few days ago. These clothes were not only beautiful but also very warm. The brothers and sisters were very satisfied with them.
When the Ye family arrived at the processing workshop, they saw many guests and friends who had come to watch the ceremony, and the Ye family members went forward to greet them enthusiastically.
Soon, Mr. Cai's carriage drove towards the processing workshop. Ye Changyan hurried to greet him. Together with Liang Jingcheng, he supported Mr. Cai and came to the rest area for guests and friends to watch the ceremony. He soon started chatting with Ye Xiaozheng.
The signboard of the Wei Hao Jia Processing Workshop was written by Mr. Cai at the request of Ye Changyan, so today Mr. Cai and County Magistrate Wu were specially arranged to unveil the signboard of the processing workshop together.
As time went by, more and more guests arrived to watch the ceremony. The gentry, wealthy families, and businesses of all sizes in Wanshou County all sent people to participate.
Many guests and friends also came from Yuzhou Prefecture. They arrived in Wanshou County yesterday afternoon. Zhong Yunfeng settled them in several inns in the county.
The Zhong clan also sent many elders and representatives of considerable status to Wanshou County.
Then they saw the convoy of horse-drawn carriages that Zhong Yunfeng had arranged long ago, filled with guests from Yuzhou Prefecture, heading towards the processing workshop in a mighty stream.
Zhong Yunfeng and his son Zhong Dingyi, with smiles on their faces, brought these guests who came from Yuzhou City to the viewing and resting area.
Zhong Yunfeng also introduced several friends to Ye Changyan.
One of them is Huang Huamin. On the surface, Huang Huamin is the boss behind the largest cosmetics shop in Yuzhou City.
But Zhong Yunfeng learned from his father that Huang Huamin had a very deep and complicated background.
As soon as this wintersweet hydrosol and wintersweet perfume were put on the shelves in Zhong's Store in Yuzhou Prefecture, they were discovered by Huang Huamin, who was very optimistic about them.
Huang Huamin planned to get involved in the trading of wintersweet hydrosol and perfume. Zhong Yunfeng refused many times, but he could not stand Huang Huamin's insistence. Moreover, after his father's reminder, Zhong Yunfeng was a little afraid of Huang Huamin's deep and complicated background.
So Zhong Yunfeng planned to bring people over under the pretext of opening a business, and then discuss with Ye Changyan to see what the specific plans were.
Since there were so many guests at the scene, Ye Changyan didn't know whether Zhong Yunfeng had any special intention in introducing these friends to him, so Ye Changyan greeted them very politely.
The opening ceremony was scheduled for noon. Shortly after noon, several horse-drawn carriages from the county government drove towards the processing workshop.
Magistrate Wu and the county magistrates Zhang, Kong, and Long, also arrived at the same time. Wu Jiaxing also came with Magistrate Wu.
The onlookers and guests who came to watch the ceremony, seeing that the county magistrate had arrived, stretched their necks and looked towards the people in the county government office.
