Chapter 112 Signing the Contract
After arranging the work back home, Zheng Sisi found the third prince, Zheng Zhiyuan, and Zhong Ruiyu to discuss making salted duck eggs and preserved eggs tomorrow.
Zheng Sisi suggested: "Because this business is long-term, I can't participate every time. The farm can also provide chicken and duck eggs for a long time. I suggest setting up a small workshop here."
The Third Prince and his companions nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, we cannot come here every time. We can ask Aunt Liu to bring these cooking aunts to cook together. We can cook the purchased eggs and duck eggs in batches, and we only need to arrange people to transport the goods."
Zheng Sisi: "Yeah, I think so too, because the quantity is not large, they can make it when they have time, and we can sign a contract with them.
No one knows this recipe except me. If they leak the recipe, they will have to pay compensation.
And how to calculate their wages and how much to pay them must be clearly written down.”
The third prince asked: "What is a contract?"
Zheng Sisi slipped up and immediately explained: "A contract is a written agreement. Signing a contract is beneficial to both parties."
A few people nodded in agreement, the venue was arranged in the yard, and then the issue of wages was discussed.
It was already very late when they finished the discussion. In the end, they asked the third prince to write a few contracts for use tomorrow.
…………
The next day after breakfast, Zheng Sisi sent Uncle Li away. When she came back, she called everyone together, and after finalizing the contract, she arranged for Dongzhi to call Aunt Liu and the aunts who cooked.
When they heard that the boss was looking for them, they were very scared. The boss had never looked for them before and they were always very friendly when they met. Could it be that the food they cooked today was not to the boss's taste?
Several people came to the reception room with doubts, and saw that the host and the third prince were sitting at the top seats, and the two young masters were sitting on both sides.
Seeing such a serious scene, several people were even more unsure. This was going to be a trial by three judges! They were so scared that they quickly knelt down and apologized.
"Please spare my life, Master and the Third Prince!"
Zheng Sisi and others were puzzled when they saw the aunts kneeling down and apologizing as soon as they entered the room.
Zheng Sisi said, "Aunts, what are you doing? Get up quickly. We are here to ask you for help."
Aunt Liu raised her head after hearing this: "Boss, aren't we being punished for making a mistake?"
Zheng Sisi: "Who said that? What mistakes have you made? Stand up and talk first. I don't like kneeling and kowtowing."
Several people stood up obediently.
Aunt Liu said, "No, we thought the boss wanted to see us because the breakfast today was not to our liking."
Zheng Sisi: "Oh, you scared me, I thought you really made a mistake."
It turned out that I was overthinking and it was a false alarm!
Zheng Sisi said, "It's like this. I asked you to come here because I have a job and I want to ask if you want to do it."
Aunt Liu: "Boss, what kind of job is this?"
Zheng Sisi: "As you can see, I bought a lot of chicken and duck eggs yesterday. I have a way to preserve the eggs and sell them later. This requires people to help us. We first thought of a few aunts. I wonder if you are willing."
An aunt asked cautiously: "We only know how to do farm work. Can we do the employer's work? Will we not cause any trouble for the employer?"
Zheng Sisi: "No, it's very simple. I'll teach you how to do it first."
After a few people murmured for a while, Aunt Liu, as a representative, said, "We can do it."
The third prince said at this time: "Since everyone has decided to do it, let us make it clear that this is a business between several of us, so please sign a contract before you do it.
We will pay you 500 coins per person per month, but you must keep it secret. This method is only known to your boss. If you leak the recipe to others, we will ask you to compensate us with 1,000 taels of silver."
Several people were shocked that they had to pay so much in compensation.
Zheng Sisi reminded him in time: "If you don't disclose the recipe, you don't have to pay compensation, and you still have to pay 500 coins for the work. Don't do this work every day. Wait until you have purchased a certain number of chicken and duck eggs before doing it once."
Zheng Sisi gave them time to think, and slowly drank her tea while waiting.
