To make soap, more or less, there is a chemical reaction.

Add to that the soap, when you make it, the smell is pungent, eight or nine times out of ten, toxic and harmful.

Usually, Jiang Weimin would let Zhao Aiguo wear a self-made mask, so he would naturally not let him take the risk so easily.

In fact, even without Jiang Weimin's explanation, Zhao Xiangyun already knew it himself.

She was a modern person, and she had seen a lot of pollution problems.

Therefore, she also gave Jiang Weimin some advice to not throw the waste water from the soap factory, and the materials that he did not need, everywhere, especially away from the water source.

At this time, there was no running water in the countryside, only mountain spring water, river water, or well water.

The first two were the most common. If there was contamination, the first to be harmed would be people.

Jiang Weimin heard Zhao Xiangyun's words from the bottom of his heart, and kept them in mind.

With the first batch of substandard soap, the second batch soon came out. Unexpectedly, it was even better than the soap from the state factory outside.

With their experience, Jiang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo did not have to work alone anymore. He wanted Zhao Zhiyuan to recruit people from the team, and for the production in the factory, they had to go from the trial to the actual operation.

Zhao Zhiyuan had already made plans with Yang Miao long ago, and now that Jiang Weimin and the others had completed their plans, he began to advertise in the big team.

Currently, there were twelve people needed to make the production lines. These twelve people had to stay in the soap factory for a long time.

He also needed to hire some temporary workers. When the farmers were free, he would come over to help.

As for the skills and quality, it would be up to Jiang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo.

Previously in the factory, it had been just the two of them, the workers, who were busy doing both here and there. It had been very tiring.

But with experience, they could teach others.

Zhao Zhiyuan recruited people, and did his best to recruit people who were honest and willing to work, and who spoke without breaking a word.

Other than giving back to his daughters Zhao Xiangyun and son-in-law, as well as giving salaries to the workers, the rest of the workers would also belong to the big team. If they were to talk big and learn a few things, and then tell the big team's method of making soap, the ones that would lose would be the whole big team.

Therefore, in the beginning, Zhao Zhiyuan wanted to increase his level, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

In the first few days, only a few people came to apply. Everyone still looked at the large team as a matter of habit.

He always felt that if he didn't cultivate the land, he wouldn't get a job, and naturally, he wouldn't get any food either.

Zhao Zhiyuan was not in a hurry, he was confident that he could wait. After all, he had to get out of work and start a side business, without patience, how could he get such a good staff.

On the third day, Wang Fengqiao came over.

It was Zhao Dafu who had asked her to come over.

In the factory, there was no need to bask in the sun in the summer. Furthermore, Zhao Dafu knew that the soap factory was led by Jiang Weimin and the others.

When Wang Fengqiao came over, Zhao Xiangyun was also there.

Zhao Xiangyun asked Wang Fengqiao a few questions, which were basically whether or not he could get out of work, be afraid of working hard or something like that.

Wang Fengqiao's bitter days had finally come.

And the soap factory, for her, was a novelty. She could learn a lot.

Wang Fengqiao answered each and every one of them. Her attitude was very serious, and wasn't different just because the people in front of her were Zhao Xiangyun and Zhao Zhiyuan.

In the end, it was naturally Wang Fengqiao who got accepted. Zhao Xiangyun informed her that he would be studying at the factory that day.

After that, no one knew who spread the news, saying that the soap factory was very fun, and that if one played every day, they would get points.

In the end, a group of cracked dates came. Zhao Zhiyuan picked out a lot of them and also managed to get a few more reliable employees.

Zhao Decai and Zhao Wangcai, the two brothers, also left.

Ever since Zhao Decai and his beloved girl were not married, the two brothers were not interested in their family's matters.

Other than going home to eat and sleep, he worked at Production Team to earn points.

With the points earned, when it came time to distribute the food, they would not only receive all of it at once, but also receive enough to eat.

If Zhao Zhilin, Zhou Zhaodi and the other two finished all the food very quickly, they would not take the food earned from their work and would only eat the rations given by the big team.

For those who didn't want to work and were lazy, a large number of people had their rations distributed. However, they all had some coarse and stored food.

Sometimes it's oil bran, sometimes it's years, sometimes it's sweet potatoes with a musty smell.

Then there was the sweet potato stalks used to feed the pigs, and the hot rice.

These grains could be considered inferior. If eaten, they wouldn't taste good, so for the sake of their family's better days, everyone would desperately try to earn points.

He would have to avoid having a status as low as that of a large team's quest pig.

But for Zhao Zhilin's family, they were like dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water. It did not matter what they ate, the most important point was that they did not need to do any work.

This time, Zhao Decai and Zhao Wangcai, the two brothers, came over to recruit workers. Firstly, they didn't want to earn points, and wanted to see who else their parents and grandmother would rely on.

The second reason was to train himself and earn some money.

Zhao Decai had completely given up on getting married, but his brother was not young and could not be dragged out any longer.

If he were to drag things out any longer, it was very likely that he would end up giving the other party a glance. If he couldn't find a wife, then it would be a waste to let go of the girl he liked.

Zhao Zhiyuan asked them a few questions as well and hired the two of them.

Very quickly, all twelve had been recruited.

As expected, these people would become veterans of a large number of soap factories in the future.

As the Captain, Zhao Zhiyuan made a public announcement in the big team. In the future, these people could go and produce soap for the big team.

Not only were these twelve people their names, Jiang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo were also impressively on the list. After the New Year, they would not need to continue working in the large groups anymore.

But there was a requirement. Other than the technical and qualitative Jiang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo, how much soap did the rest of them need to finish every month, there was also a requirement for these people who didn't work.

Under the guidance of Zhao Zhiyuan and Jiang Weimin, no one could slack off, and no one could take advantage of them.

… ….

Zhao Zhilin's house.

He heard from the members of the Production Team that his two sons went to the soap factory and then left the production to make soap.

Zhou Zhaodi was also cursing at home.

"What's the use of raising a son? Unfilial! "If you don't even discuss such a big matter with us, then wouldn't we be kept in the dark for the rest of our lives if the entire troop isn't made public?"

Sung Honghua did not care about all these. She only knew that she was hungry.

It had not been long since the food was distributed, but the food that the two brothers, Zhao Decai and Zhao Wangcai had brought back, had already been eaten.

Right now, her family was eating rations, so not only would they not be able to eat until they were full, they would also eat congee that was full of water. She could not take it anymore.

"Lao Er, you and your wife can go find some food. This old woman here can't take it anymore, if you don't eat more food, I'll die!"
