Chapter 35: A Summer Night Tale
[35] The Tale of a Summer Night
Now with the "Yaojiazhuang Construction Project" as a cover, Yao Fan's recruitment plan is even more unscrupulous.
"Shicheng, all the new guys are arranged to live in the old house, the new house is too crowded now, I get up in the morning to eat outside the kitchen, and I have no place to put my legs."
He Shicheng agreed with a bitter face: "Why do you have to squeeze there to eat, I said that you are not happy to serve it to you." So are we still hiring? At the moment, the number of people has passed two hundred and seven! The old mansion can't live there anymore! After you and we moved in, the vacated rooms are now full, and there is no room to leave the wood-paneled room! ”
Yao Fan said stiffly: "Of course continue to recruit, don't you see that there is a shortage of people on our construction site?"
I have already instructed He Wannian to ask the branches set up by the Zaofan firm in various parts of Shandong to search for young beggars for me, and if I can't get them in the city, I will go to the temple fairs and bazaars outside the city to find them, and I will go to the villages to find them.
Sleeping place is not a problem, haven't more than a dozen wooden houses been built in the first district? Where they were told, where they were told, where they were fed, clothed, and bathed, were treated the same as if they were living in the city. ”
He Shicheng stuck out his tongue: "The owner is so kind to them, then after the project is completed in the future, how are you going to arrange so many guys?" ”
Yao Fan lightly knocked on He Shicheng's newly bought melon skin hat: "When the time comes, I will make my own arrangements, you can hurry up and change the work clothes I brought to those newcomers." ”
……………………
There is already a sea of blue on the Yaojiazhuang construction site, and Yao Fan's guys have changed into Yao Fan's newly purchased polyester cotton denim overalls, and the upper and lower long-sleeved trousers are all blue.
This kind of polyester-cotton denim is soft to the touch, thick and reliable, and is often used in 2o11 to make workwear for welders and other types of work that require body protection. Yao Fan is interested in the characteristics of this kind of workwear, which is both sturdy and durable, and thick and warm. Yao Fan originally considered purchasing migrant workers' camouflage, but after all, the winter in northern China is too cold, and there is no El Niño phenomenon of global warming this year, and if there is no thick jacket to block the wind, the north wind will lightly take away the heat of the human body.
Li Hainiu is now the foreman appointed by Yao Fan, since entering the Yao family, Li Hainiu's large meals can be satisfied, and now his muscle bumps are bulging again, and his skin is also healthy and shiny.
Li Hainiu's tall body was full of energy, striding on the construction site to inspect the progress of various projects, constantly roaring like thunder, directing the men to work.
"Listen to the people of the three districts and the flatlands! Hurry up! The pile will be driven in the afternoon, if the timber is delayed, are you worthy of the owner? ”
……………………
"What do I say? Don't pile up muck on the edge of the playground! The owner said that the ash floor should be paved here! That thing can't be mixed with mud! Hurry up and call the trolley class to pull me away! ”
……………………
"Can you do it? Isn't it just to fill in the floor after mixing with stones! You're so slow, how can you keep up with the progress of the playground! It's all dug up and leveled! I'm just waiting for you to send the ash pads! ”
……………………
Whenever he saw that the progress was lagging behind, Li Hainiu was so anxious that he often stepped forward and grabbed the shovel and did two handfuls in person before stopping.
Today, just as Li Hainiu grabbed a shovel as usual and roared and flipped the concrete mixed with cement and stones, there was a shout from afar: "Open rice!" Let's eat! The owner is adding meat to the big guy today! ”
"Oh!!!!!!!!" More than 200 guys on the construction site suddenly boiled.
"Hey, there's meat to eat! There is meat to eat today! A guy beside Li Hainiu who was desperately turning over concrete with a shovel shouted at Li Hainiu.
"I hear you! Hear me! What to shout! If you can't do a good job, you know how to eat! Li Hainiu returned the shovel to its original owner, ran to the side of the small dirt slope, and shouted with all his might: "Listen to me!" The old rule is that each class takes turns to eat in order! Carpentry class 1, class 2, class 3 and soil worker class 1, class 2 and class 3 eat first! The others will continue to do it, and when the time comes, I will naturally call you to eat. ”
Li Hainiu repeated it three times in a loud voice before it ended, and his voice spread far away in the empty construction site, and everyone could hear it clearly.
After shouting, Li Hainiu threw back the braid wrapped around his neck, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and looked at the dusk sky: "Today has passed again, and the days are really fast." ”
It was the turn of the last class to eat, the first and second shifts of the ash and the second shift of the trolley, and they poured all the mixed concrete on the playground that had been dug 1o centimeters deep, and then plastered it with long wooden planks before they finished work.
Yao Fan also arrived, and gathered in a group of guys who had just finished work and were ready to eat. He felt that he should get closer to these guys, and that one day, when these people were faced with a choice, they might follow him more often.
Yao Fan sat around with everyone, just taking a steamed bun and eating it.
Li Hainiu next to him smiled wryly, holding a small bowl of tamales and sitting next to Yao Fan, the collar of his work clothes was open, and there were seven or eight warm buns stuffed in it, but there was only one piece of tamales in the bowl, and the rest were steamed soy sauce broth.
"I'll eat the steamed bun first, and then I'll go get the pickles and make the steamed bun." Li Hainiu explained.
Yao Fan glanced at him and said, "What are you telling me about this, eating more is a blessing, and it is also the responsibility of my owner to let you eat enough, if you don't have enough to eat, where will I put my face?" ”
There are more and more people sitting around, and it can be seen that it is an honor for them to be able to sit and eat with the owner, or to eat close to Yao Fan. Because they now regard this man who forced them to eat and dress well as a righteous person like a bodhisattva.
Yao Fan licked the steamed bun and soaked this Qing Dynasty semolina product as soft as possible with saliva. He thought to himself, it's time for the refugees to come, right? Seeing that it is already June, I have not seen a heavy rain, in the history of Shandong as long as there is a drought, the victims will flee to the sea, find stones to drop the oysters on the reef, pick up kelp seaweed to satisfy hunger, so that at least can survive until winter, Qingdao Kou by the sea is definitely a good place to gather refugees.
Li Hainiu interrupted Yao Fan's train of thought: "Owner, everyone wants to know, this Yaojiazhuang is finished, where are we going to work?" ”
Yao Fan wanted them to rebel against him in the future, but he couldn't say it clearly at the moment, so he just said nonsense: "Now that there is a big drought in the world, I plan to use all the money I earn to buy grain and open a porridge factory. ”
When Li Hainiu heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns dipped in broth: "The owner is the heart of the Bodhisattva, and this year is a disaster year of great famine. I will definitely follow the owner to do a good job. ”
"That's right! I also follow the owner to do a good job! ”
"I'm also ......"
The guys eating around all chimed in.
Listening to this sincere statement, Yao Fan was still a little worried, he didn't know how resolute these beggars who were still waiting for death not long ago could be.
Yao Fan said: "Tonight is still the old rule, in the evening, each squad leader went to me for a meeting to discuss the progress and specific details of the project. ”
Li Hainiu said: "Oh! ”
The squad leaders of the gray class and the trolley class on the side also agreed loudly, and then they glanced at the rest of the guys around them quite proudly, and then continued to eat with satisfaction.
At nine o'clock in the evening, most of the guys had already finished showering, changed into Yao Fan's set of pajamas and pajamas, climbed into the bunk and snored. This set of pajamas and pajamas is very simple, just a white crewneck old man shirt and a pair of boxer beach pants, but the guys like it very much, and they express their sincere admiration and joy for being able to wear the standard Yao family underwear.
At this time, all the squad leaders also gathered in Yao Fan's room in this dress, watching Yao Fan fiddling with kung fu tea, this set of tea sets was Yao Fan's selfishness, considering that 1875 was too dull to bring over.
There were more than 20 people who came, and they couldn't sit on the kang, so many people moved a small stool made by the carpentry class in the past few days and sat on the side of the kang. This kind of small meeting for more than ten consecutive days has made everyone familiar with each other, and Yao Fan also has a general understanding of these squad leaders.
Yao Fan sat cross-legged on the big kang, put the Tieguanyin bought by the local tea shop into the teapot he brought, and after washing the tea, he washed the green tea liquid into a small white porcelain teacup, his movements were quite ritualistic, and the young people around him were warm.
According to the habit they have developed these days, they bowed down one by one to get the tea cup, and then sat back and tasted the limited little tea, and pouted.
"Incense."
"It smells so good!"
Yao Fan saw that they were relaxed, so he simply asked a few squad leaders about the progress of the project in their respective hands, and after Li Hainiuyan asked to increase the manpower of the ash class to mix concrete, Yao Fan adjusted it and adjusted the sixth class of geoengineering to the fourth class of ash.
He Shicheng saw that the teapot was empty and about to be full, so Yao Fan poured out the brewed tea leaves, replaced them with new ones, and then had another round of tea brewing.
"Incense!"
"It smells so good!"
"It does smell good!"
"Xie Dongjia enjoys tea!"
Yao Fan saw that it was almost over, and handed over the control of the teapot to Li Hainiu, Li Hainiu solemnly took it, He Shicheng rolled his eyes, and reluctantly took the kettle on the small charcoal stove on the side and filled it for Li Hainiu, and then Li Hainiu lit tea in each small teacup.
"Seeing that the project is on track, I will tell you a story every day from today onwards. Today is the first day of storytelling, so I'm going to tell you a story about sheep eating people. Yao Fan cut to the chase and began his first attempt at enlightenment, which he finally decided after thinking for a long time.
