Chapter 40: Hiring People

During the day, he asked the village chief to solve the problem of hiring people, and the village chief immediately agreed, and at night he summoned a meeting of the heads of each household to explain the matter, and he officially met the four children of the martial family.

At least half of the people offered to help.

As soon as the old village chief mentioned that he was paying for meals by the day, most of the people in the village also had a labor force, after all, it was a day job outside, and it was also a job near home, so it was better to find someone close to home, and he could take care of it if he was in a hurry.

For this situation, the old village chief is both emotional and understanding. Gaomen Village is not a big village, nor is it a clan village, the villagers come from all directions, and their hearts are not aligned. These children are new to the school, and it's a good thing not to cheat them. In other villages, when people build houses, the villagers help spontaneously, and the main family can take care of the food, and there is no such indifferent force as the people in their village.

Alas! It's no wonder that the days are poor!

Wu Nuandong doesn't think there's anything wrong, there are more things to do in modern times to sweep the snow in front of the door, and there are still many people in Gaomen Village who are willing to help before they mention money! It's a lot better than she expected.

The four children watched the more than fifty people gathered around the village chief's house without stage fright, most of them were men, Wu Nuandong especially remembered the nineteen people who were willing to help first, among them were three women of different ages, although they were all patches, they were better than clean and tidy.

"Uncles, aunts, grandparents, I specially trouble you to come here for the sake of our martial family, I, Wu Xingzhou, instead of my younger brothers and sisters, thank you in advance, elders." Wu Xingzhou was dressed in a coarse cloth and short fights, and his height of one meter and six was not outstanding in front of adults, but his back was straight, and his spirit was high. Some people at the bottom exchanged heads, some people looked impatient, and some people listened carefully, but it didn't affect Wu Xingzhou's mood, and he continued to say calmly: "The elders also know that it is enough to build a house for more than 20 people, and if you have free time to help, please stand on the left and report your name to my younger brother Wu Qiuzhi and sister Wu Nuandong." Martial arts boy Xingzhou, thank you again for your grandparents, uncles and aunts! ”

I didn't hear much money, and a few people seemed disappointed, and they didn't leave, but stayed at the village chief's house to watch the excitement. Some people really don't have spare labor at home, or they don't lack money and don't want to help, so they turn around and leave.

Waiting for the last middle-aged farmer to report his name, there were already thirty-four people, Wu Nuandong put down the pen and smiled sweetly at everyone, "Thank you, elders, since no one is signing up, then Nuan Nuan will tell the elders who are willing to help about the salary." ”

Now the ears of the lively people are pointed, and they don't even talk about gossip.

The old village chief sitting on the bamboo chair shook his head disapprovingly when he saw this, and the few people left behind were all masters in the village. The little girl of the martial family is talking about wages now, which will definitely make those people restless, don't make any trouble.

Wu Nuandong smiled and repeated again, "Are there no more elders who are willing to help?" ”

"Little girl, just talk about it! Leave us alone! The sloppy man who was lazily snuggling by the door shouted with a hippie smile.

"Uncle, it's better to ask clearly!" Wu Nuandong pointed out, attracting the faint gaze of the old village chief, and then said with a sweet smile: "Elders, the salary is forty wen per person per day, and the two meals for breakfast and lunch are also forty wen for the three aunts who cook. ”

Sure enough, when he heard the wages, not only did he see the excitement behind him, but even the villagers who originally meant to help were shocked.

"Little girl of the martial family, you can't spend this money indiscriminately, it's too high, too high!" An old man dressed in patches waved his hand again and again, a few little babies don't seem to be controlled by an adult, the future will be a bad time, don't scatter all the bottom for a shelter from the wind and rain, it is a matter of helping the people in the village, and it is not possible to spend so much silver.

A short aunt also said: "The little baby just can't live, the aunt doesn't want your money, just give me a meal." ”

"Yo, you don't want money or lack of money, my family of five is waiting for me to eat, little girl, they don't want our family of five to be willing, the salary won't be bad, right?"

The answer is the only middle-aged woman in the back to see the excitement, her clothes are crooked, her neck is darker than the wheel, and she likes to make a long tone when she speaks, which sounds weird.

"Widow Zheng, the youngest of your five is three years old, and the oldest is eleven or twelve years old. Little girl, don't listen to that old girl's nonsense. You will go home after the job is completed, tomorrow morning Uncle will take the big guy to work on the ground, you don't have to get up so early, you are still young, sleep more, Uncle will help you keep an eye on it. "Talking is a relative of the village chief's family, one of the two brothers who are very strong, the two came to the village later to take refuge in the village chief, and they were also helpless, at that time there was no money to buy land, with the blessing of the village chief to follow the old hunter to learn the craft, the old hunter passed away, they wore linen and filial piety to send the last journey, and now they are the only hunters in Gaomen Village.

"Thank you, Uncle Erga! Thank you also to Grandpa Tian and Aunt Qin for thinking about us. The children of the martial arts family thanked them in unison, but the three of them were frightened, these children not only knew how to read, but also had a good memory, and they remembered their names once they spoke.

The old village chief laughed, whether a village can prosper depends on whether the villagers are united, and the scattered village will decay sooner or later.

Gaomen Village is too dull, and I hope that outsiders can bring a new atmosphere.

As soon as the morning dawned, Wu Nuandong and Wu Xingzhou drove the donkey cart to the rice grain store in the town, and bought two large bags of rice (medium rice) about fifteen buckets (240 catties) 1275 Wen, seven buckets (112 catties) mixed noodles 1260 Wen, three buckets (48 catties) white flour 720 Wen, ten catties of glutinous rice flour 388 Wen, five catties of black sesame 200 Wen, a total of 3 taels 843 Wen, because Wu Nuandong bought a lot of money, in order to attract repeat customers, the shopkeeper who was good at talking was exempted from 43 Wen.

The villagers who help are all old men, and two meals a day are afraid that they will cost dozens of catties of rice and noodles, and those at home are only enough to eat for seven or eight days.

If it weren't for the fact that the donkey cart couldn't fit it, she really wanted to buy a few more bags to save every few days.

The grains, vegetables and fruits in the space ripen faster than the herbs, those are reserved for his own family to eat, Wu Nuandong is a little reluctant to give it to inconsequential outsiders to eat, and the quality of the rice grain in the space is too good, the grains are full and shiny, as clear and flawless as white jade, it doesn't look like rice, but like jade. The noodles are also delicate and fragrant. Alas! The quality of the product is good, but it can't be used.

Fortunately, the Yufu has a static function for the ripe crops that are picked, otherwise the fruits and grains piled up in the open space would have rotted long ago.

The two of them drove to the butcher shop, and the owner of the butcher shop knew that he had bought it for his family when he saw the full cart of grain, and immediately greeted him warmly, "Little brother, what are you buying?" It's all fresh meat, freshly slaughtered this morning. ”
