13. Chapter XIII
The next day, Zeng Tong came to the farmers' market after breakfast and met with the decoration master who had contacted him yesterday.
The decoration master brought a small worker, after seeing the internal environment of the stall, he also gave Zeng Tong a rough budget, Zeng Tong first took some cash and asked the master to buy wires and other materials, buy it in the morning, start work in the afternoon, and get it done at night if it is fast.
Because we sell fresh fruits and vegetables, we need a clean and tidy environment. The walls need to be repainted, an extra tube of lighting is installed on the top, wires are laid, and the space behind is separated by wooden boards, which is used to store vegetables, and finally the decoration master will test whether the water and electricity in the store are normal, and the rest is Zeng Tong's business.
Because in the farmer's market, the space is relatively large, and the air circulation is good, even in summer, it will not look very stuffy. There is also a canopy on top of the entire market to provide protection from the sun and rain. After all, it is a place to do business, and if the environment is too poor, there will be less people, and the farmers' market was also considered when it was first built.
When Zeng Tong asked someone to decorate, he also said hello to the management department. This is still a place under the jurisdiction of others, and any major actions must be reported to them.
At noon, Xiao Pan came to help take a look at the decoration process, and also talked to Zeng Tong by the way.
Xiao Pan had also heard Zeng Tong say before, and the shopkeeper here was still watching. And he asked,
"Look at this progress, your store will be ready to open soon, right?
"I guess it's been the past few days, the goods sold in the store have begun to be prepared, but the clerk hasn't found it yet, and I looked at a few recruitment websites yesterday, and I didn't get anything. Zeng Tong said with a little distress.
"Hehe, how can you find this kind of clerk on the recruitment website. Now the people who look at the shops in the market are either the owner himself, his family, or acquaintances and relatives. Xiao Pan said with a smile after hearing this.
"Alas, the first time I opened a store, I didn't understand a lot of things, which made you laugh. Now that I'm ready, I'm just going to send the clerk to take care of it. Listening to Xiao Pan's words, Zeng Tong understood that he was making jokes again.
"Then what kind of clerk are you looking for? I know all the people around this market, so I can help you take a look first." ”
"That would be great. I don't have too many requirements, it would be better to look neat and generous, and it would be better to have a cheerful personality, and of course the character must be trustworthy. In terms of treatment, ...... a month, "Zeng Tong roughly told Xiao Pan about the requirements and treatment.
"Okay, I've made a note of it, I'll call you when I find it. ”
"Thank you in advance, and I'll invite you to tea when I come back. Zeng Tong said with a smile.
This kind of thing of asking people to help should be expressed afterwards, which was taught by Zeng Tong's great-father and great-mother, and there must always be a relationship between people.
After that, there was no return, Zeng Tong came to the outside of the farmers' market, in the restaurant on the other street, ordered a meal for lunch, connected to the WIFI in the store, and played with his mobile phone.
has been busy with space affairs recently, Zeng Tong has not swiped the circle of friends as often as before to understand the dynamics of friends.
No, as soon as the software was opened, all kinds of news shook Zeng Tong's mobile phone, and after a while, Zeng Tong saw that it was in the group of classmates, and everyone was discussing tourism.
In his previous life, Zeng Tong also followed, so he walked around with a group of people. In Zeng Tong's view, that trip is not as motivated as he is to develop his career now.
There are also some sisters who usually play well to chat with Zeng Tong and talk about trivial things in life. Zeng Tong didn't reply much, at this time period, everyone is either looking for a job, or they are not in a hurry to get a job, and it is normal not to reply to messages often.
Everyone has their own lives, after Zeng Tong worked in his previous life, he had less contact with these classmates and friends, and before Zeng Tong's car accident, he only had occasional contact with a few female friends who had a good relationship, and he went out to see each other 2 or 3 times a year, and even the number of times his classmates got married was also less.
Zeng Tong also sighed that most of the relationships between people are like this, like rays, they intersect once, and then they go to different places, and then they gradually drift apart.
At around 3 p.m., Zeng Tong received a call from Xiao Pan, saying that he had introduced a girl to her as a clerk and asked her to wait to meet her at the farmers' market.
It turned out that after talking to Zeng Tong at noon, Xiao Pan called a few people. These people are all neighbors near the rental house where Xiao Pan lives, some of them are aunts who often meet and ask Xiao Pan to help her nephews and nieces find jobs, and some are young people who come to G City to work. Their residential building is near the farmer's market, and many people come from other places to work.
As soon as some people heard that it was a market seller, they directly refused. One of the girls named Xiaojuan, Xiao Pan talked to her, and she was happy to do this job.
Xiaojuan is now sharing a house with a few people, and they are crowded together in a rental house upstairs from Xiao Pan. Because Xiaojuan is an orphan, she only finished high school, did not apply for college, and came out to work after the age of 18.
If Zeng Tong can hire her, she can look after the store during the day and go out to set up a stall at night to increase her income. She now has to send a sum of money to the welfare home every month to reduce the burden on the home.
Zeng Tong heard Xiao Pan say this, and also felt that this girl should be good, and she repaid her kindness, although she didn't make much money, she would save some of it and give it back to the welfare institute. Seeing that she has a good character, Zeng Tong said that she will see you later, and if it is suitable, she will give priority to hiring.
After a while, Zeng Tong walked back to the farmers' market and saw Xiao Pan and Xiao Juan next to her at the management department, Xiao Juan was a little restrained at first. Although Xiao Pan told her some things about the shopkeeper, when she saw such a young boss, she was a little worried that it would be just a ticket and close after a while.
Zeng Tong first said a few words to Xiaojuan, observed Xiaojuan, had a good impression before, and now saw that she was good, so he told her that Xiaojuan only needs to sell vegetables, tidy up the shelves and keep the store clean and tidy in the store, and Zeng Tong is responsible for the rest.
Come to see the store at 8 o'clock in the morning, I will come to open the door in advance, I can go to the small room inside to rest when no one is there at noon, and I will open after 3 o'clock in the afternoon and get off work at 7 o'clock in the evening, Zeng Tong will come and lock the door. If the business is good, you can also leave work early after selling out in the afternoon.
The probationary period is 1 month, although the salary is not much, but after a month, you can give a commission according to the table, and the specific share will wait until the probationary period is over when the contract is signed.
Xiaojuan quickly agreed.
After decorating today, I will put some shelves or something tomorrow, and I will open the day after tomorrow. Zeng Tong took her to the stall to recognize the door, made an appointment to come to work the morning after tomorrow, and then the two left each other's phones and let Xiaojuan go first.
Then he turned his head to find Xiao Pan and handed Xiao Pan a red envelope, which was regarded as thanking Xiao Pan for his help in introducing.
Xiao Pan took it with a smile and said, let Zeng Tong discuss any similar problems in the future, and he will definitely help if he can help. It can be regarded as reaching a consensus with Zeng Tong that in the future at the farmers' market, Xiao Pan will take care of Zeng Tong a little more in all aspects.
There is an advantage of finding someone to introduce, that is, between people who know each other, helping to introduce is also equivalent to a part of the guarantee, and if there is any problem with the introduced person in the future, the introducer will also help him find it back, after all, he introduced it. Of course, it is also essential to give the introducer a little labor fee or something.
After separating from Xiao Pan, Zeng Tong looked at the stall, which was almost finished, and the spacing made of wooden boards was also done, and it was almost time for the final painting. Looking at the people who were still busy inside, Zeng Tong walked away, she planned to visit the farmers' market this time to see the fresh fruits and vegetables sold by others.
Zeng Tong specializes in the vegetable and fruit area, and he doesn't go to the meat and aquatic products.
After looking around, the ones that are now planted in the space are basically sold in the market, and there is no need to worry about the appearance of vegetables in the space out of place for the time being. By the way, secretly note down the current prices of various vegetables, Zeng Tong still has to think about what price his space vegetables sell?
Passing by a person who sells sweet potato leaves, Zeng Tong stopped and picked a handful, and chose the ones with thick sweet potato vines, which she planned to use to plant in the space.
Carrying a bag of sweet potato leaves, Zeng Tong swayed leisurely, and walked back to his stall, 5 or 6 meters away, Zeng Tong saw that there was still construction inside, so he walked straight into the toilet, entered the compartment and closed the door Zeng Tong entered the space.
The leafy seeds planted the day before were basically sprouting, and some of them were growing fast, like amaranth and water spinach, which had grown a finger high, and the leaves were 2 or 3 pieces, and the lettuce and lettuce only nodded their heads.
When I was tidying up the place where I planted leafy vegetables, there was an empty area of about 10 square meters, which Zeng Tong kept for planting sweet potato leaves. Buy sweet potato leaves today, and you can start planting.
Dig a pit, bury a section of sweet potato vines at intervals of about 20 centimeters, let the leaves be exposed on the ground, and it will take a while to plant them all.
Yesterday, I saw the cucumber and bitter gourd that were still thumb melons, but today they have become larger, the length is about the same as a writing pen, and the pods of peas are also the size of small thumbs, so it seems that they can be picked in 2 days.
The melon vine in the melon field has grown quite a long time after the last side branches. The vines also continued to creep forward in the melon field, and in a few days, it should be crawling all over the melon field, and by that time, it was almost the time for the watermelon to bloom.
After reading the vegetable field, he turned to the fish pond, and sprinkled the remaining part of the cabbage residue into the fish pond to feed the fish, and then looked at the condition of the small fish to see that they were in good condition, and Zeng Tong prepared to get out of the space.
When he was carrying the tools back to the hut, Zeng Tong suddenly remembered that when he had just looked at the cucumbers and peas, he didn't seem to see the bees, and he had planned to let them go back when they helped finish pollination.
"Why didn't you see those bees, where are they gone?" Zeng Tong thought suspiciously.
After turning around, Zeng Tong found that these bees began to nest in trees not far from the field, which is not scientific!
