Chapter 52 Childe is different from others

When Xu Wanyun followed Aunt Cao to the Shahe Bridgehead, it was already full of people and bustling.

Although Xia Guozhu knew that as soon as the news of the recruitment spread, he would be lively here, but when he got up in the morning and walked out of the shack, he was still startled by the crowd of people.

I saw that the area around his shack was already dark and full of human heads, and on the small bridge in the distance, there were still people rushing towards him in groups.

The crowd is dominated by women, little daughters-in-law, big girls, aunts and aunts of all ages, and the most ridiculous is an old woman with all white hair, and she also comes to join in the fun with her body and crutches.

As the saying goes, three women in one play, hundreds of women gather here, and naturally they are chattering and arguing.

"Pillars, is anyone really willing to pay us for it? Don't lie to anyone, right? "Dog, don't you dare to talk nonsense, who doesn't know that Brother Zhu is the most sincere, he can make up such a big thing...... It's true! "It's questioning whether it's true or not.

"Are you tired from work?" "If you want women, shouldn't you let us do the skin and meat business?" "Duh! Leather and meat business? Look for yourself, we are like black charcoal, if someone is willing to spend money, my mother would have done it a long time ago! "It's questioning what kind of work it is.

"Can you eat enough?" "Two or three a day?" "We don't dare to expect any wages or anything, but if we can mix it up, we can do it!" It's about the real benefits.

……

All kinds of questions flew towards Xia Guozhu, and the noise made him dizzy.

After thinking about it, he called a few of his brothers and asked them to maintain order, and it took a long time to make the scene much quieter.

Estimating that he was talking, the big guys could basically hear it, and then he climbed onto a big rock and announced Chu Fan's conditions loudly, emphasizing secrecy and obedience.

Although he had spread these conditions before, when he said that the daily salary was eight money, the crowd was still boiling, and everyone was talking about these generous conditions, and the sound was higher than a while, and they couldn't suppress it, and the vast majority of people didn't believe in this pie-in-the-sky thing.

"Folks!" In order to calm the field, the pillar raised his voice and shouted, "My pillar has not been here for a day or two, and I believe that everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts!" ”

His shout finally calmed the scene down a lot, and the pillar lowered his tone slightly, "To be honest, when Gongzi Chu told me yesterday, I was just like you, I can't believe it's true...... But then I believed it, because I Zhuzi has been in Dengzhou for two years, and no Shandong people have invited me to have a full meal! Yesterday was the first time! …… So I believe in Childe, Childe is really different from others! ”

As he spoke, he took out the two taels of silver, and raised them high with two fingers, "See?" This is the remuneration that Childe gave me...... When have you ever seen a big family recruit us and Liaodong people pay us back? So you must believe me! Believe in Childe! ”

The silver of the white flowers worked more effectively than any language, and the scene boiled again, and this time no more doubts could be heard, and people rushed to the pillar, expressing a strong desire to join in with words and bodies.

Seeing that the scene was too chaotic, Zhu hurriedly asked his brothers to maintain order, and it took a long time to quiet the scene again and start picking people.

Because there are few men to want, he starts with men first. Thanks to the efforts of his brothers, order was maintained well, and the men at the scene stepped forward one by one to accept Xia Guozhu's interrogation,

Although Xia Guozhu was illiterate, he had a good memory, and when the men finished reporting their own situation, he picked out nine men from seventy or eighty people who looked honest and met Chu Fan's requirements for having a family and a room.

The men who had been picked squatted aside, while the unsuccessful scattered in despair.

When it's the turn of the women, they can't use this method - what about hundreds of people, how can Xia Guozhu remember it?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Guozhu came up with a way, he stood on the boulder, let the husband and children stand on the left, and the lone one on the right.

Although Aunt Cao'er's husband is gone, she has three sons, so she left Xu Wanyun and walked to the crowd on the left.

"The female worker that the son wants this time is to have a family or children, so, the eldest sisters and ladies here, I can't help it......" Xia Guozhu's voice floated into Aunt Cao'er's ears, she couldn't help but look at Xu Wanyun with disappointment written on her face, and felt very uncomfortable - does this poor girl really want to miss this God-given opportunity?

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The threshing floor of Hou Yuanwai's house is about a circle smaller than a football field, with high walls on the east and west sides, and warehouses and rooms for miscellaneous items on the north and south sides.

At this moment, it is early winter, the grain and wheat have already been cleaned up, and even the warehouse is empty - the grain prices in Ningyuan and Phi Island have been high in recent years, and the Hou family's grain is packed up and transported directly to Phi Dao, leaving some rations and storing them at home in Huang County.

The threshing floor is being renovated, and all the masons from several surrounding villages have come to build stoves on the west side of the threshing floor, and two rows of six large stoves are laying the foundations.

On the east side of the threshing floor, a group of carpenters are busy at work, and Chu Fan is going to build a large grass shed there to serve as a workplace for the cigarette workers.

Zhang took Chu Qin and Xiancha around, beckoning the masons and carpenters to work, and Niuniu completely herded the sheep and spread joy all over the scene.

The third aunt also came, since she helped out in the ancestral house last time, she was completely obsessed with the new trick of cigarettes, this time Chu Fan just came back, she rushed over to see if there was anything to help.

"Fan'er, this shed is good, bright and ventilated, if it is in the house, the smell can smoke people to death!" The little third aunt stood beside Chu Fan, looked at the grass shed that had just erected four pillars and said-Ah Bian's taste is indeed unacceptable.

"I'm afraid of colding you." Chu Fan rubbed his chin and said, he originally wanted to arrange the cigarette workers in the warehouse, but when he saw the room that was dark during the day, he suddenly lost interest - there is no electric light in this era.

"Whew! Are you still afraid of the cold when you work? The little third aunt waved her hand indifferently, and finally asked Chu Fan as if she remembered something, "Fan'er, how many people do you plan to ask for this time?" ”

"Auntie, I've arranged this," Chu Fan smiled and said, "I'll recruit from the Liao people by the Shahe River, and the cigarette workers will be a hundred." ”

"Huh?" The little third aunt shouted in surprise, attracting the Zhang family on the side.

"Fan'er, those people don't dare to use it! We know that there are no serious people on the side of the Sand River, but they are dirty! The third aunt glanced at Zhang and said in surprise.

Chu Fan's brows furrowed when he heard this-the contradiction between the locals and the Liao people was highlighted before the construction started, how can this be good?
