Chapter 21 The hand is fast, but the hand is slow

A heavy snowfall in early winter fell intermittently for nearly half a month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This afternoon, the dense snow clouds finally dispersed, and the long-lost sun showed a smiling face in the sky.

As soon as Xiao Jing pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, Dong Huaiyuan ran to him and stretched out his little hand: "Brother Xiao Jing, I want to eat sugar gourd!" ā€

"Xiaoyuan, don't make trouble." Dong Xiaoya patted him lightly on the back with a straight face: "The sugar gourd is used to do business, how can you come to eat it all day long?" ā€

Xiao Jing laughed and said, "If Xiaoyuan wants it, there must be one." As he spoke, he took out two strings of sugar gourds, one of which was handed to Dong Huaiyuan, and the other was stuffed to Dong Xiaoya.

Dong Xiaoya helplessly glanced at her younger brother who ran away screaming, and sighed: "Childe is too fond of Xiaoyuan." After a long time, the slave family was afraid that he would be spoiled. ā€

"Got used to the sugar gourd? Not. Xiao Jing smiled and waved his hand: "As the saying goes, men are poor and women are rich." When we make a lot of money in the future, let's eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and let him eat sugar gourds, wouldn't it be good? ā€

He glanced sideways, only to see that Dong Xiaoya had lightly opened her lips and bit off half of the hawthorn. Hehe, it's rare for a girl her age not to be hungry for snacks. There are exactly three strings left, and the people of Benshan are really clever!

"Don't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas after making a lot of money, give me three thousand taels of silver first." Xiao Jing was still secretly proud, and Shao Ning, who had just come out of the room, responded to this sentence without giving a smile, and walked up to him and spread his hands.

Xiao Jing replied succinctly: "The sugar gourd is gone." ā€

Shao Ning glanced at him, turned around and left: "Hey, I'll go back to the house and have a look." If the wild cat or mouse were to get the stuff back today, it would be a problem! ā€

Xiao Jing reluctantly recalled Shao Ning, and reluctantly gave him a string of sugar gourds: "You take it." Originally, I said that I kept it for food, but you kid is too fine, and it is estimated that you will become a monkey if you stick to the hair! ā€

Dong Xiaoya was eating deliciously, and when she heard Xiao Jing complaining, she wanted to hand her over as soon as she raised her hand. But when her hand was raised in the air, she realized that the string in her hand might only be given to Xiao Yuan, so she had to walk away with a red face.

Shao Ning proudly ate the sugar gourd and walked away. After a while, he moved a large stack of papers from his room to Xiao Jing's house.

It wasn't until he was ugly that he walked out with a fight between his upper and lower eyelids, shaking his head as he walked: "My dad must be crazy......"

It was dawn, and Xiao Jing opened his eyes.

After Shao Ning left, he was busy for a long time, and he just fell asleep an hour ago.

Xiao Jing rubbed his eyes vigorously, and sorted out the paper beside him. He slowly lifted the thick wad of paper and waved it in the air with a smile.

Come, let me see your hands!

Puhua Town, which had been silent for a long time, was noisy again.

What excites everyone is not the gossip in the market. Although the town is not small, there are not so many parents who can talk about it. What really makes people crazy is another piece of paper full of words.

Recruitment Edition?

The second son of the tea merchant Tian family stared at the four big characters on the paper, a little unclear. After reading a little more, he flicked it disdainfully, and the poor paper soon fell to the ground with the wind.

He abandons it as if it were a shoe, but others may not be.

"Boss, what do you look like?" Aunt Feng rushed into the house in a rage and threw a piece of paper in front of her husband.

Her man was sitting idly, and when he heard this, he only glanced sideways, and said impatiently, "How do I know? It's densely packed on it, and it's so annoying to look at it, take it away quickly! ā€

Aunt Feng said angrily: "Someone also gave Jin Guijia a piece of paper just now. It didn't take long for Jin Gui's father to run away in a hurry. Something good must be there! You can read and write, so don't ask who you ask? ā€

Her man was even more upset, so he slapped the chair hard: "I only know a few words?" This square full of paper, who knows what it is talking about! ā€

The two were arguing, and the little grandson of the family sneaked over. He curiously picked up the paper that had been dropped and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and read it out loud: "Shao Yuan's foreign family needs two plasterers, one penny of silver a day; Mrs. Han's family needs a craftsman, 30 wen a day; Jingnan Huang's Stone Quarry, one masonry is required, and the construction period is three days......"

The two adults were immediately silent.

It's not hard to find a short-term job during the off-season, but it takes a lot of effort. Now, someone has compiled the information on recruiting short-term workers and delivered it to the doorstep!

What's even more exciting is that Shao Yuanwai's conditions are particularly generous: his salary is twice as much as usual!

Aunt Feng's voice trembled a little: "Good grandson, what else?" Quick, read it all and listen to it. ā€

The child held his finger in his mouth and said innocently: "Shao Yuanwai's family still has a man who pays three dollars of silver a day." But I don't know what it's doing......"

Something like this happens all the time in Puhua Town. It is not uncommon for people to rush to a place to find a short-term job, only to be told that the job has been taken.

In the courtyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Jing, who was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, said leisurely: "Do you know? This is called fast hands, slow hands. ā€

Shao Ning nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Jing said again: "Only when someone in the family is literate can he understand." The more proficient you are, the faster you respond. The more words you recognize, the better the part-time jobs you can find. There is a quota for every job, and everyone is bound to compete for it, so there is no time to ask others; People have selfish intentions, and even if someone really asks, the neighbors may not tell them. ā€

After speaking, he got up and paced a few steps and stretched: "The most profitable jobs are all brought by themselves." People who don't even know what to do and go empty-handed, even if they arrive first, are of no use. ā€

Information equals money, and money is the most direct benefit. People are driven by a lot of profits, and in order to get them, you have to read what is written on the paper......

For Xiao Jing, this is a battle that must be won. Of course, he also firmly believes that this is a must-win battle.

Shao Ning complained: "That's what I said. But what are we writing so many 'recruitment pages' for? I'm tired! The rich people in the town won't do day jobs, so what's the use of giving them! ā€

Xiao Jing chuckled: "It's indeed as you said. However, it is also good to let them see it in advance, and there will always be a day when it will be useful. ā€

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yuan ran into the courtyard in a hurry: "Brother Xiao Jing! Goudan asked, when will Mr. Xiao and Mr. Shao give lessons again? ā€

Shao Ning immediately stood up. This guy is a little addicted, and he can't wait to run over now.

Xiao Jing shook his head at Shao Ning: "Tell him that both of us have a cold, and we will have to raise them for a few days before we can teach them to read." If you want to learn, then ...... Ten days later! ā€
