Xiao Jiu's current work is definitely very easy for her!

What she has to do every day is to pluck the feathered poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese and other feathers that have been killed in the slaughterhouse.

The daily working time is from Chenzheng to Youzheng, and the time for three meals is also in it, and I take turns to eat with my co-workers at the end of the day. You can also take a day off every 10 days. There are a total of three people who do the same job with Xiao Jiu, and several people come in turns on Mu Xiu's day. What's even more surprising is that there is a monthly case of fifty taels of silver per month. This number has caught up with the share of Miss Wang's concubine.

The Li family's slaughterhouse is very large, and it is divided into two areas with a fence in the middle: one for killing livestock and the other for poultry.

Next to the slaughterhouse there is a large breeding farm, in which all kinds of livestock and poultry are raised.

The population of the Li family is very large, and every day in each kitchen, someone writes down the type and quantity of livestock needed in the near future and sends it over, and then the steward of the slaughterhouse distributes the task, and after the livestock is disposed of, the steward sends someone to collect it.

Sometimes when the task is heavy, Xiao Jiu and the staff will be very busy; Sometimes when the task is light, I will work with the staff when I am free.

There are eleven partners in her poultry section, of which two middle-aged men are responsible for slaughtering, two young men and Xiaojiu are responsible for plucking the coarse hair of the birds, four small servants are responsible for removing the delicate hairs of the birds that are difficult to handle, and two young men are responsible for roasting the plucked poultry on the fire.

Thinking back to the fifteen girls who were sold in at that time, they were all separated after some questioning. Thirteen of them were in front of their masters in each room.

I don't know if it's really just a subordinate who does rough work or something, she and the girl named Chunhong are all assigned to do rough work. She plucked her hair at the slaughterhouse, and Chunhong was assigned to pull weeds.

She and Chunhong may be supernumeraries in rough work, and the two of them are women in the entire rough work group, so of course they are divided into a subordinate room.

Counting the days, they have all been sold into the Li family for a month, but Xiao Jiu has never seen a single immortal cultivator, and the people who live here are all secular mortals of the Li family!

"Master Huang is early, why don't you see Master Ren?"

After a month, Xiao Jiu's homework on speaking can be regarded as passing.

"Heh, it's Xiao Jiu so early, you let the master go to the steward to get the monthly example, you can go too!"

Master Huang is one of the masters in charge of slaughtering, and what he likes most is his throat-cutting knife, which is said to be produced by Li Kee to kill birds. Another slaughtering master is Master Ren.

"Okay, thank you, Master Huang, when I get rich one day, I'll go to Li Ji to get you your favorite cutter." Xiao Jiu smiled and agreed.

"Go, how can you be a little girly? You just have a poor mouth with your Master Huang! Master Huang thought to himself: Li Kee products are not something that can be bought if you want to.

"Hehe, I'm going to get the monthly order." Xiao Jiu said and walked towards the steward's office.

On the way, I met Master Ren, who came back from Lingyue.

"Xiao Jiu, you look so good today, what are you happy to tell Master Ren!" Master Ren carried a black cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to weigh dozens of catties.

"Isn't this a payout? It's been a long time since I've seen silver, so I'm naturally happy to meet the moon now. Xiao Jiu was naturally honest when he said this.

"You!" Master Ren shook his head and left.

The people of Anyang City don't pay much attention to silver. It's not that the purchasing power of silver is not strong, but because the people here are all food and clothing under the protection of the Xiuxian family, they do not very tiring work, and there are many monthly cases, so most people ignore silver.

On the contrary, the people here are very fanatical about spirit beads, and people with a little status use spirit beads, and one spirit bead is equivalent to the exchange ratio of five hundred taels of silver. It's just that not many people are willing to exchange spirit beads for silver.

The people in Anyang City worship immortal cultivators very much, and the wish of mortals is to give birth to a next generation with spiritual roots.

Every five years, the family conducts a spiritual root test for children over the age of five. Children who are found to have spiritual roots will be cultivated by the family to become immortal cultivators. And the status of his relatives will also rise with the tide, and he will be promoted to a position such as a steward, and more importantly, he will be respected as a family member of an immortal cultivator, and ordinary people will not dare to bully.

Giving birth to a next generation with spiritual roots is not only the thoughts and desires of the subordinates, but also the thoughts and desires of every mortal master of the Li family who does not have spiritual roots.

Xiao Jiu observed this phenomenon and felt that it was very unusual.

Most of the people in their own world are working hard to survive, and of course, people like the Wang family who don't worry about survival are living for the dignity and continuation of the family, and they are also living for themselves to have a greater meaning of survival. And the mortals of Anyang City hardly worry about food and clothing, but they mainly live for the cultivation of immortals.

Xiao Jiu usually knocks on the side with his co-workers, knowing that in the mortal cities and villages outside Anyang City, mortals will also worry about food and clothing. But what is more important is to have a child with spiritual roots. Because in the secular world, there are also immortal cultivators who test the spiritual root every five years, as long as the child has the spiritual root, almost all of them will be taken away by the immortal cultivators of different forces, and at the same time, they will also leave a rich reward for the child's family, and the better the spiritual root, the more the reward.

Xiao Jiu was thoughtful about this situation.

Throwing the five-pound money bag he had just received into the air, he returned to the place where he was working while playing.

The workers all arrived, but they were not busy, but sat or stood in clusters, chatting about something with their own rice bowls.

"Yo, don't you have any work to do today?" At this time of the day, they all took turns to eat breakfast, and it was rare for a single bird like this to be slaughtered, Xiao Jiu asked with a little surprise.

"Today's task has not been sent down yet, Xiao Jiu is so active in receiving money today?" The one who spoke was a young man in charge of roasting the fire and burning the skin, named Yuan Si.

"This is the first time I've received money, so I'm just a little more positive. Why, haven't you even picked it up yet? As he spoke, he went to the side and took a bowl to add food, and began to eat.

"As long as you go and get it today, you don't care about the time." A small guy who picks fine hair, thirteen or fourteen years old, called Zhang Da said nonchalantly.

Who cares about Xiao Jiu's bit of silver, each of them has a monthly income that is several times that of hers! Silver is not a spirit bead, and it is useless to have more.

Thinking about the topic just discussed, he said:

"Your fourth brother Yuan is worried about how to find a girl from a family who has recently had a child with spiritual roots to marry!"

"Oh, just find a beautiful one that Fourth Brother Yuan likes?"

According to the family rules of the Wang family, it is necessary to choose a virtuous and virtuous girl, so that it will be conducive to the harmony of the family, the upbringing and success of children and grandchildren.

So she's not good at it.

"Why are you so unhearted, you can marry a girl who has recently given birth to a child with a spiritual root, and it is easier to give birth to a child with a spiritual root, you know? By the way, Xiao Jiu, your family has had a child with a spiritual root recently, right? ”

Yuan Si also turned his head and looked at her with a light in his eyes.

Xiao Jiu also knows that there is a saying here that it is easier to give birth to a child with a spiritual root by marrying a family that has a spiritual root. Therefore, these families who have had children with spiritual roots are also more willing to marry each other.

It's just that you still want to beat her idea?

Then he replied, "Me? Eighteen generations of ancestors in my family have not had a single immortal cultivator, what do you say? ”

That's right, Xiao Jiu thought: Since he can practice, he should have a spiritual root, but he doesn't know what a spiritual root is. But her family really didn't have an immortal cultivator before.

"Oh, forget it, looking at your usual behavior, I thought it was from the Xiuxian family." Zhang Da's tone immediately became nonchalant.
