When I came to Hongqiao, I saw Xiaolong up close and still that white and clean little man.

Kang Damao stared at Linglong's cheek for a while, then he scratched the back of his head, a little speechless, and before he could speak, Xiaolong punched him in the chest, causing Kang Damao to cough violently.

Eggs! This kid is really heavy.

"Brother Kang, you are too weak, you have nothing to do and exercise more, and if you sit for a long time, you will be wasted."

Xiaolong patted Kang Damao's shoulder comfortingly, almost knocking Kang Damao's shoulder down.

The mansion was bought, and the things were moved over, so everyone began to live in separate houses.

Kang Damao had a bedroom and a study, which was originally intended to let Xiaolong and Erhu be in one room, so as to promote the friendship between them, but Xiaolong did not agree, and Erhu was embarrassed, so the two of them were divided into a room.

Although the eldest brother Kang Dacheng temporarily came to Zhenjiang Mansion to help take care of business, he also got a room.

Xiaohua mother and daughter have a house, and Sun's shopkeeper has a house.

In addition to the kitchen, firewood room, warehouse, maid's room, housekeeper's room, etc., there are dozens of good bedrooms in the entire mansion, so there is still a lot of space.

At night, the whole Kangfu is lit up and beaming with joy.

They finally have their own house, although the surname of this house is Kang, but Kang Damao took them like his own family, so that they lived here without worries.

When the house is big, someone naturally needs to take care of it, and there are too few maids and housekeepers now, and they can't take care of the entire manor at all. So, Kangfu posted a recruitment notice for recruiting maids and family members at the door.

Kangfu Recruitment.

Position: Maid.

Quota: 10 (50 for the first trial)

Requirements: Age 14-28 years old, good facial features, diligent and simple, clean hands and feet.

Treatment: including food and accommodation, one or two silver per month + case money (subsidy) + reward (reward money), one day off per month to go home to visit relatives.

Position: Family.

Quota: 10 (100 for the first examination)

Requirements: 16-28 years old, good facial features, diligent and simple, will be preferred.

Treatment: including food and accommodation, one or two silver per month + case money (subsidy) + reward (reward money), one day off per month to go home to visit relatives.

Less than half a day after the recruitment notice was posted, there was a long queue outside Kangfu, and many people broke their heads and squeezed in.

You must know that with the price and wage level at that time, one tael of silver and one stone of rice (100 catties) was enough to feed a family.

The average monthly money of the maids and the family in those houses is 500 wen in half hanging, and there is no regular money in many houses, and the regular reward is not touched once a year, as for going home to visit relatives, I am afraid that only one or two days of vacation after the year will go home.

Therefore, the recruitment revelation of Kangfu can be said to be explosive, and now that the entire Zhenjiang Mansion has spread, this high-paying errand is hard to find.

This is the effect that Kang Damao wants, this is invisibly promoting the Kang family in Zhenjiang Mansion, and he wants to make the Kang family known to everyone in Zhenjiang Mansion.

In Kang Damao's view, this is the establishment of the brand image of the Kang family, and the Kang family must not be too mean to do business with such generosity.

In the morning, the maids were full first, and the maids changed into new clothes and stood in the hall, Kang Damao sat on the chair and was just about to take a sip of tea and pretend to be forced, he raised his eyes and saw a familiar face standing among the maids.

Burst! Kang Damao just drank the tea in his mouth and squirted out directly.

"Xiaohua, what's your situation?"

"I see that the girl's recruitment conditions are very good, so I signed up for myself, I can't live here for nothing." Xiaohua said calmly.

Even if she wears maid clothes, Xiaohua stands out in the crowd.

"Hurry, go and change my clothes! Of course, you can't eat and live here for nothing, they will all be under your control in the future, we are a family, I hope you can put yourself in the right position in the future. ”

Kang Damao waved his hand and asked Xiaohua to go and change back into his clothes immediately.

After a while, Xiaohua stood in front of everyone again, still the fresh and refined woman, and the maids who were standing in a row with her were even more dumbfounded.

"Tell you, in the future, you will not only have to manage the maids, we are usually busy outside, you take care of the house, you can learn to do business with Shopkeeper Sun if you have nothing to do, of course, if you are interested." Kang Damao still couldn't help but instruct Xiaohua.

Xiaohua was very happy, she nodded desperately, like a fish swimming into the sea, seeing the vast world outside, and at the same time, she also felt that the burden on her body was heavier.

After lunch, Kang Damao was walking in the pavilion and happened to meet Xiaohua passing by, so he called Xiaohua to stop.

"By the way, recruit a family member in the afternoon, you can also participate, after all, this family needs you to be in charge in the future."

After Kang Damao finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back and whistling.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Xiaohua immediately blushed when she heard this, she lowered her head and said softly "um", she didn't raise her head until Kang Damao walked away, her eyes were full of hope.

In the afternoon, there was a long queue outside Kangfu, all young and middle-aged, all of whom came to apply for the family.

"Let it go, Walter Ayew wins?"

The young man was wearing unconventional clothes, speaking bird language that others couldn't understand, and kept squeezing in front of the crowd, until he squeezed to the front registration office, he stopped with a smile, and the people behind him were all pointing at him, and they were very unhappy.

"What's your name?" The person in charge of the initial recruitment of the Kang family looked at him impatiently and said.

"Paul," the young man replied.

"What? What's that? Cannon? The Kangfu man raised his head and asked a little speechlessly.

"Why don't you call it a gun?" Someone in the back made up the knife.

"Haha......" everyone laughed.

"It's terrible to be uneducated!" The young man pouted at the people behind him and said disapprerovingly.

"This is my English name, which is what Paul means, and you may call me Paul."

"Yes, just for your name, our Kang family can't want you, you better go elsewhere, next." The Kangfu staff said that they wanted to drive Paul away, and said in their hearts: "It's still Paul, what a thing."

"Big brother, it's a blessing to see that you have been sitting here, and this bit of silver is filial to you for tea." Paul quietly approached the staff and quietly shoved a tael of silver from his sleeve into the other party's hand.

The staff was originally also a member of the Kangfu family, but he usually performed well and understood the world to have this recruitment position, and now someone actually gave him silver, for the first time in his life, he gladly accepted, so Paul successfully passed the first examination.

The re-examination was in the back garden courtyard of Kangfu, and the interviewers Linglong, Erhu, Shopkeeper Sun, Xiaohua, and Anmu sat in a row.

Subsequently, more than 100 people who had passed the primary selection lined up and came in for interviews according to the number plates issued in advance, and when it was the turn of the person who called Paul to come in for an interview, it happened that the family members were just full of ten.

Now Paul won't do it, the bribe of the staff is the last net worth, he must enter the Kang Mansion, otherwise the next meal will not be settled.

"I can't! I've come back from a stay in England, I've drunk foreign ink, I'm educated and knowledgeable, it doesn't matter if the position of the family is gone, I can apply for the manager! Paul did not give up.

"Steward?"

"But we didn't say we were going to hire a manager?" Xiaohua Brain made up for it, and this time there was indeed no recruitment for the position of general manager.

"That's because I didn't come, I came and I had it, this can be had." Paul said shamelessly.

"I really don't have this, I'm sorry!" Linglong somewhat admired this guy's shameless courage.

"If you don't have a manager, you can do it with a senior family, and you can't accompany a reading child."

"Then you come early, and maybe there will be children for you to read with a few years later." Erhu said teasingly.

The crowd laughed.

"Stay, I think he's interesting." Kang Damao walked over with a smile, just said a few words and beckoned Shopkeeper Sun into the study.

Jiading, Linglong wants to be able to fight, Erhu wants to be powerful, Xiaohua wants to be shrewd, and Anmu wants to be down-to-earth, but as a result, he recruited such a bullish king, and everyone was confused.

Actually, this guy named Paul, formerly known as Abao, went to England with someone a few years ago, worked in the English shipyard for a few years, and knew a few simple words of English.

In the study, Kang Damao stood in front of the desk and quickly typed the abacus on the table, and the shopkeeper Sun stood aside and recorded it with a brush.

It cost 48,000 taels of silver to buy a mansion.

Fortunately, the furniture was ready-made, and some new furniture was added at the cost of five hundred taels of silver.

The repair of the courtyard wall, the repainting of the white wall, the re-filling of the black tiles, and the manual addition of materials cost 200 taels of silver.

The simple decoration of the room cost a thousand taels of silver.

Kangfu expenses: The maid's monthly routine + food + clothing, cooks, carriages and horses and so on cost about 200 taels of silver per month.

In this way, the 50,000 taels of silver are almost finished, but fortunately, he still has some savings, and Boss Li sent another 2,000 taels of gift money, and the grain village can also be temporarily turned, and it can also be played.

"You are responsible for enjoyment, and I am responsible for earning money."

Kang Damao looked at the people in the courtyard who were busy cleaning their new homes, and said lightly.

He had already studied it carefully, if he wanted to make a lot of money, it was not enough to rely on the grain business alone, he had to expand the business, he pointed the finger at the porcelain business, he was a layman, he didn't need to burn porcelain or sell porcelain, he only needed to make a change of hands to earn a lot of silver.

It is not Kang Damao's principle of doing business to only do business, he wants to play a big game of chess, and he is worried about Shen Yuhai, the porcelain king of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Last time you wanted to harm me, it was time for me Kang Damao to fight back, this time I will take advantage of your Shen family's porcelain business.
