Zuo Feifei and Guan Xiaorou are both victims of feudal superstition.
She comes from a scholarly family, and is a talented girl who is well-known throughout the country. She is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at everything.
Perhaps because of jealousy of beauty, when Zuo Feifei was fifteen years old, a red spot the size of a red bean suddenly appeared under her left eye.
According to Dakang's superstitious saying, if a black mole appears in this place, it is a sign of good fortune; if a red mole or erythema appears, it means that the person is charming.
Guan Xiaorou's sun allergy is as long as she doesn't go out and spins thread at home. Most people can't tell.
But Zuo Feifei's red spots were under her eyes and couldn't be covered at all.
What's even worse is that when her mother took her to see the doctor, someone else saw her.
The marriage was originally agreed upon, but when the man learned the news, he broke off the engagement without hesitation.
In the feudal period, it was a very shameful thing for a woman to be divorced.
Her father worked as a clerk in Qingshan County Government. When he heard someone speaking ill of his daughter behind his back, he couldn't help but punch him.
After the fight, I found out that the other person was the county magistrate's son.
The magistrate of Qingshan County is much more powerful than the magistrate of Jinchuan County. In Qingshan County, it can be said that he can cover the sky with one hand. How can he beat his son?
Zuo Feifei's father was taken to jail that day, beaten to death that night, and was framed by the county magistrate.
Then the Zuo family was ransacked and all the female relatives were sold.
Because of this red spot on her face, Zuo Feifei suffered a lot in the dental clinic. The dentists were afraid of getting bad luck, but no one dared to take advantage of her. However, they often beat and scolded her, and often did not give her food.
Even the other girls who were slaves rejected her.
Zuo Feifei couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide. Fortunately, her mother was in the same dental shop and rescued her in time.
From that day on, my mother stayed with me day and night, encouraging and persuading me.
Then Jin Feng appeared and took Zuo Feifei and her mother to Iron Can Mountain.
After experiencing the hardships of tooth decay, the days in Tieguanshan were like a fairyland for Zuo Feifei and her daughter.
Although there are still people talking behind her back, here, as long as she does her own thing well, no one will dare to bully her directly.
Because she was grateful, Zuo Feifei worked very hard and was quickly noticed by Wan Niang.
When he learned that Zuo Feifei was literate, he immediately recommended Zuo Feifei to be the female shopkeeper.
But when the female shopkeeper opened her business, the red spots on her face would have a great impact, so Tang Xiaobei denied it.
When Wan Niang left Iron Can Mountain, she recommended Zuo Feifei to Jin Feng as the person in charge.
Jin Feng took the opportunity to guide the construction of the soap workshop. After observing for a period of time, he found that Zuo Feifei was indeed very capable, so he agreed to Wan Niang's suggestion.
This made Zuo Feifei even more grateful to Jin Feng, and she worked harder. She formulated a series of measures one after another, which not only greatly improved the work efficiency of the workshop, but also used both kindness and power to successfully establish prestige.
Due to family changes, Zuo Feifei is usually very serious, and female workers rarely see her smiling face.
But in front of Jin Feng, Zuo Feifei always smiled unconsciously. If Jin Feng said a few witty words, she would make her eyes curl up.
Several times Jin Feng felt confused and wondered what she was enjoying.
Just like now, Jin Feng just asked about the current situation of Iron Can Mountain in a routine manner, but the smile on Zuo Feifei's face never disappeared.
The two chatted for a while, and then the new female worker went up the mountain.
"Sir, I will arrange them first and report to you later."
Zuo Feifei said with a smile.
"Go." Jin Feng nodded.
Zuo Feifei left with the female workers.
With so many people going up the mountain, many female workers noticed the movement here.
If you ask where the most popular place is in Jinfeng, it is definitely Tin Can Mountain.
The female workers in the soap factory were either mutilated horses held hostage by bandits, or slaves with miserable life experiences. Their experiences were even more miserable than those of ordinary people.
Therefore, I am more grateful to Jin Feng than the people of Xihewan.
At first, they only respected Jin Feng and did not dare to make mistakes. Later, Jin Feng came to Tiegunshan to guide the establishment of the workshop. As they got to know him more, the female workers found that Jin Feng was very easy-going and gradually became bolder.
Especially some of the girls who were captured by the bandits. They had already experienced human affairs, and after they got acquainted with each other, they dared to talk dirty words to Jin Feng.
In fact, they knew that it was impossible to get along with Jin Feng, but they just found Jin Feng's embarrassment interesting and deliberately teased him.
Upon discovering Jin Feng's arrival, the female workers immediately put down their work and walked towards the mountain pass.
"Sisters, look, Mr. Jin is here!"
"Mr. Jin, why haven't you come to Tin Can Mountain for so long?"
"Yes, Mr. Jin, Cai'er misses you so much!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Sir, he is handsome and capable. What do you want from him? If I were still innocent, I would have slipped into his room at night!"
"Sneak over, aren't you afraid that there is someone under the covers, sir?"
"What's wrong with someone? It's cold now, so squeeze in to stay warm."
"Stop talking, sir, your face is red!"
"Sir, you are a grown man, why are you blushing?"
"Maybe you're tired from the journey. Sir, let me wipe your sweat!"
…
It was Jin Feng who teased Zuo Feifei just now, and now retribution has come.
The female workers surrounded Jin Feng, laughing and saying hello.
He also became more and more bold in speaking.
Some people even used hands and feet.
"Shut up, if you keep messing around, I'll deduct your wages!"
Jin Feng shouted with a red face.
After the introduction of assembly line operations, female workers in the iron smelting workshop will have three days off every month and can move freely.
Anyway, they don't know how to build a furnace or how to mix the mineral powder, so they are not afraid of them leaking the secret.
The craftsmanship of soap is too simple and can be easily copied, so female workers in Tin Can Mountain are not allowed to go down the mountain, and ordinary people are not allowed to come up.
For example, Yalang was stopped when he sent the female workers to the fortress on the mountainside.
At first, Jin Feng was worried that the female workers would be dissatisfied, but after asking Wan Niang around, the female workers were very satisfied with the current situation and no one complained, so Jin Feng decided to do this for the time being.
In order to make up for them, Jin Feng paid Tieguanshan higher wages than Xihewan Textile Factory.
A small supermarket was also built on the mountain, with everything in it, and the prices were cheaper than outside. After the female workers were paid their wages, they could go to the supermarket to buy things for consumption, or they could save up. If their families were still there, they could take them home.
People who have family members who have been sold can also advance their wages to redeem their families.
Recently, due to the booming soap business, Jin Feng gave the female workers another salary increase.
To other people in Dakang, all the female workers in Tiegunshan are little rich women.
Threatening them with salary deductions simply won't work.
As soon as Jin Feng finished speaking, a female worker answered:
"Sir, how much wages will be deducted for allowing me to enter your house at night? Please tell me the number!"
"A bunch of female hooligans!"
Jin Feng angrily pushed away the female worker who was talking and took Wan Yuhong to find her brother.
"Sir, you haven't said how much wages will be deducted yet. Just tell me the number. If I don't have enough money, I'll ask my sisters to chip it in!"
"Yes, yes, sir, tell me the number!"
"Sir, don't go!... Hey, he's even running!"
The female workers in the back were still laughing and shouting.
Jin Feng ran away with a black line on his head.
