Chapter 76: The Country Bar (Part II)
Pepe looked at the wine glass a little nervously, even though she only lived 14 years old as a royal prince in her previous life, she had been invited to participate in many palace banquets, of course, she had also drunk a lot of tribute wine, and she drank quite a lot of wine in her previous life. I'm 16 years old since I was reincarnated in this life, but I haven't quit drinking alcohol once, and I've long wanted to try it.
She looked at her surroundings, released her divine sense and felt the thoughts of the people around her, and did not feel malice, so she comforted herself, anyway, the family will not know, besides, if she is drunk, she can use her internal force to force the alcohol out of her body, or- try it with a drink?
Thinking like this, she slowly stretched out her hand to the large glass in front of her, just picked up the wine glass, the little Tom in front of her touched the glass to her again and looked at her and grinned, she looked up and smiled back at the little Tom, raised the glass to her mouth and swallowed it slightly, a bitter feeling accompanied by a cold feeling from the throat to the stomach.
"You have to drink a lot of beer to be strong, you see me drink it for you!" Little Tom didn't like the girl in front of him to drink like embroidery, so he picked up the wine glass to demonstrate, took another big sip in front of Pepe, and then "hiccup-" and said, "Look, that's it, open your mouth and drink it in one go, and drink until you burp!" Little Tom, who had finished his hiccups, looked at Pepe.
Pepe is sensitive, and she feels that the little Tom in front of her is a big grinning and hearty person, and the feelings revealed when talking to her also have a sense of sincerity, so she smiled and picked up the big glass and drank a big sip like Little Tom, and after drinking, she couldn't help but "burp-" A sigh of "hiccup" was smelled of the wine exhaled in her mouth, she laughed happily, and the sense of restraint that had just entered the door disappeared all of a sudden, holding the cup and touching the cup with Little Tom again
After a while, old Flarey came back.
"Miss Pell, my old friends will arrive in about half an hour, saying that they will discuss with you about going up the mountain to encircle and suppress the wolves, by the way, don't you still need to find cowboy workers, everyone in this bar is cowboys, if you believe me, for these eight hundred acres of land near your villa, two skilled cowboys are enough, I will directly recommend Joey and his brother to you, don't look at his current virtue, he is ranked in the top 20 old acquaintances in the annual rodeo competition in our town."
"At present, I only plan to hire casual workers, and after the wolf problem is resolved, I will clean up the entire Xiaoquan Mountain, many trees will be cut down, and the land on the mountain will also be ordered. As for the land down the hill, I'm going to tidy it up, remove all the weeds, and then plant things again. If possible, I would like to connect the lake near the lodge to groundwater and install an irrigation system. The whole cycle takes about one to two months, two cowboys are definitely not enough, I hope the more people the better! Since you said that two cowboys under the mountain are enough, then I count the cowboys to be hired in the future on the mountain, and finally leave another six to eight people from all the casual workers to hire for many years, so let's see everyone's table in the end, and the eight people who work hardest will stay. The county lord pondered for a moment and replied.
Pepe had already planned for a long time, and when Xiaoquan Mountain was sorted out, after she planted all the medicines, she would arrange various formations around Xiaoquan Mountain, and then hire some local workers to take care of it, and then carve a few array cards and distribute them to these workers.
As for the problems of these workers? Oh, she still has a killer weapon - divine sense, before leaving, give those workers a good hint to set a ban, and then promote a responsible supervisor, and then she can go back to take care of the newly established company with confidence, and in the future, just come every two months to see the growth of medicinal herbs.
"The mountains are going to be cleaned up? That's a big job! I would venture to ask, didn't you buy Koizumumi Mountain for vacation hunting but for other plans? Old Flarley's puzzled questioning interrupted the reverie of the county lord's mother.
Pepe took a sip of the beer glass, the big glass just covered the expression on her face, "Yes, I don't want to use Xiaoquan Mountain as a private hunting ground, but I want to grow some new varieties of plants from the scientific laboratory." As for what plants, I can't say. Also, can you tell us about the average salary of casual workers on your side? ”
"Haha, I'm presumptuous, you don't say you should, as long as it's not poppy planting." Old Flarley made a joke and continued: "The weekly salary of our skilled cowboys here is basically six hundred dollars, and the average cowboy is enough for five hundred dollars a week. Wait—"
After saying that, he walked back to the corner of the bar where the telephone was placed, where a small bell hung down, he reached out and shook the bell, as soon as the bell rang, everyone looked up in the direction of the bell, and the bar instantly fell silent.
"Listen to me, this is Miss Pell, the new owner of Koizumi Mountain." Old Flaray pointed at Pepe and continued, "Miss Pell is currently trying to hire casual workers in the town to clear the trees on Koizumi Mountain, and the more manpower there is, the better!" Skilled cowboys earn $600 a week, and regular cowboys earn $500 a week. The employment period is about one to two months, and in the end, there are eight of the most responsible and hard-working cowboys left among all the people who have been hired for many years, and they have to sign up to come to the bar here! ”
As soon as old Flarley finished speaking, the bar was boiling again, and cowboys flocked to the bar, and the county owner in front of the bar was the main group, and her surroundings were suddenly full of people.
"Miss Pell, I'll sign up!"
"I'll sign up too!"
"And me!"
The county lord was surrounded by a crowd of people, and felt the air suddenly thin, and the smell of cheap tobacco and smoky sweat filled her mouth and nose.
Her drunken brain was so smoky by the smell that she almost vomited. Hurriedly kicked the chair and climbed onto the bar, sat on the high bar counter, and shouted condescendingly: "Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze it! I will hire all the people present, I will give 600 weekly salaries to all of them, you all go to old Flaray to register, three days later at nine o'clock in the morning, come to Koizumi Villa to find me, everyone bring their own logging tools, go up the mountain together! ”
The crowd flocked to Old Flaré again.
With the help of old Flarey, Pepe registered everyone, a total of 42 cowboys, and under the introduction of old Flarey and Pepe's super memory, the names and looks of these cowboys were also matched one by one.
When old Flaray's old friends, the ranchers and ranchers from the vicinity of Koizumi Cottage, arrived at the bar, they saw the county lady sitting on the high bar counter, clinking glasses and laughing with the cowboys of the town.
