Chapter 446: Chapter 159: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in an Era Novel (46)

What started as a simple giveaway of small trinkets and burlap bags actually involved so much more.

That was right. The burlap bags were part of it, too. Chi Yun’er had used the General Hospital’s name to acquire some discarded old machinery from a linen manufacturer. Jiang Yihua and a team had then spruced them up, turning them into spinning and weaving machines.

The burlap bags were stiffer to the touch than clothing, so they didn’t require high-end spinning and weaving machines. Production was also fast, making it ideal for mass manufacturing.

The raw materials were widely available and purchased at low prices directly from various communes. Although this involved a few extra, energy-consuming steps, once the process was established, everything would run smoothly from then on.

Using two of the General Hospital’s vacant warehouses as a processing workshop, they continued to hire the family members of hospital staff, specifically targeting a slightly older age group in their thirties and forties.

After all, it was a mechanical job that required time and physical effort but not much brainpower. The work involved methodically completing tasks, almost like a machine.

It was especially suitable for people in this age group, as they had the patience for it.

Young girls and newlywed wives were in the bloom of their youth. How could they be expected to sit still and do this kind of work for long?

Spinning thread and weaving fabric produced large quantities of coarse burlap, which could even be called a type of canvas.

The bolts of fabric were treated as semi-finished products. Along with some fabric scraps, they were taken home by family members who were tied down by housework and had irregular free time. These women would pay a deposit and take the materials home to work on them.

The price for each type of small item was the same. It was like a mission-based system where the workshop would issue assignments, for instance, "Today I need a certain number of hair clips, cloth bags, hair flowers, etc."

The family members would then declare what they could make based on the type and quantity needed, state their deadline, register it in a ledger, pay the deposit, and carry the materials home to get to work.

With the family’s main breadwinner working at the hospital, these housewives—often burdened with many children, finding it hard to get a job, or tied down by scattered chores—finally had an arena where they could shine.

With their nimble hands, they could create all sorts of beautiful and elegant trinkets, which would then be given away by the shops to every paying customer.

It felt like a sacred mission, passing on love and well wishes!

The dying embers of hope in their hearts burst once more into a roaring flame...

And as for the customers—never mind them, even the people present would feel the same if they weren’t on the seller’s side. If they put themselves in the buyer’s shoes...

Now *that* was what you call true big-picture thinking! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
