Chapter 283: Donkey snatching
As for Xue Langjing himself, after leaving Liujia Village, he naturally walked towards the established route.
After walking for about an hour, I came to the town of Xinwen Town, which happened to be the beginning of the hour.
She was going to find a job in the town for a while, and then go to lunch.
Of course, it would be better if you could go straight to work.
Because of the dilemma of almost not being able to find a job on the first day, this time she learned smartly, and when she was in Liujia Village, she asked many laborers in the village who usually go to the town or even the county to work, what kind of work they usually do.
Learn more experience, and it will be easier to make money when the time comes.
After asking and asking, she found out that the fastest money was actually doing manual work.
Especially for those with her ability.
If you don't have skills, you can't do anything else, you can only use a handful of strength, at least you can earn more than other coolies.
And if you want to help someone write letters or something, it is possible in the county, there are very few in the town, and the price is not as much as she does coolies.
All in all, she is best suited to work as a coolie to earn money.
She is really a miserable woman, she has so much silver at home, and she can only earn money by doing coolies, and her books are in vain.
However, no matter how miserable it is, you can only accept your fate.
Besides, what's wrong with being a coolie?
She also worked as a coolie when she harvested rice, but after only half a month, she could accurately detect the abnormal abilities released, and she also successfully captured the abnormal movements in her body when she released the abnormal abilities several times.
Do you know that you won't be able to improve as a coolie in the future?
Therefore, what's wrong with being a coolie, you can earn money and improve yourself.
It can also be regarded as the experience in Lin Chu's mouth.
Thinking like this, Xue Langjing didn't refuse to be a coolie.
When she came to the town and stood on the crowded street for a while, she grabbed an oncoming man, "This big brother? ”
"I don't know, I don't know..."
The man waved his hand impatiently, without looking at her, and walked away from her.
Forehead...
She hasn't even asked, she doesn't know what?
Really!
But she turned her head to see the man's hurried steps, maybe there was something going on at home.
Forget it, ask the next one.
This time, of course, she just looked at the person and asked again.
Soon locked on to the target, an aunt who walked rather leisurely, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.
Xue Langjing hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "This kind aunt." ”
When the woman heard what seemed to be called herself, she smiled and narrowed her eyes to see where the sound came from.
When I saw the dress, I was very surprised, it was a rare female hunter, and the woman became even more enthusiastic.
"Little girl, what's the matter with your aunt?"
I saw that the woman said a little shyly, "Auntie, I am new to this place, I am not very familiar with this place, and I am penniless, and I haven't even settled for lunch, I want to find a casual worker to earn some food and accommodation expenses, I wonder if my aunt knows that there are jobs nearby?" For example, going to the dock to carry sacks and the like, we don't have anything else, but we have a lot of strength. ”
When she heard that the girl was penniless and had nothing to eat, the woman naturally felt pity, but...
"We don't have a wharf in this town, we have to have it in Maling Town next door, or in the county."
"Huh?"
Again, no!
How could she be so unlucky!
"So, do you have any other strength to do? Or you can write letters on your behalf, I can recognize the words", Xue Langjing said a little unwillingly.
I only have 100 yuan on me, and if I don't make money, I won't need a few days at all, let alone want to eat meat, and even buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Fortunately, her luck did not seem to be so bad, so she listened to the woman, "I don't have to write letters, but I do have other hard work." It's also a coincidence, it just so happens that the autumn harvest has not completely ended, and many laborers are still in the fields, plus most of the idle laborers have been recruited by the Xue family in Xinwen Town, and there is still a shortage of labor in this town. ”
These words instantly made Xue Langjing's eyes light up, "Then, that aunt, is there anything I can do?" ”
"Yes, grinding beans, lotus root flour, rice flour, flour, and milling rice all require labor, but this is a laborious job, for coolies, earn less money than carry sacks, I don't know if you want to, little girl?"
A hunter like her, I'm afraid she can earn a few hundred dollars a day, can she be able to see a job of twenty or thirty dollars a day?
The woman had doubts about this.
"I don't know how much money I can earn every day by grinding these?"
Xue Langjing didn't get carried away as soon as she heard that there was a job opening, but asked the price first.
"Generally, it is twenty or thirty yuan a day, and those who have a lot of strength can earn it by estimating thirty or forty yuan."
This, this seems to be a bit of a problem! It's not enough for her to eat for a day.
"Is there any other job?"
She wants to make more money.
The woman shook her head, "There is nothing else, or it is a handicraft, I wonder what kind of craft you have, girl?" ”
This one...
Xue Langjing shook her head helplessly, "I can only write." ”
"Then there is no one, we are short of grinding now, and there are craftsmen."
Grinding?
Isn't that a donkey! Xue Lang died quietly.
Do you want to compete with donkeys for work?
But she was a little strange, "Auntie, can't you let donkeys do these jobs, why don't they buy donkeys?" ”
"Of course, it's because there is a lot of work, there are not enough donkeys, and donkeys are not so easy to buy, and now the buds and rice have just been harvested, as well as beans, lotus roots, etc., to grind a lot of grain."
Sure that there was really no other work to do, Xue Langjing could only accept her fate, "Okay, does that aunt know where to recruit workers?" It's better to have enough wages and cash payments, and I won't be here for long. ”
The woman was also enthusiastic, "Yes, yes, I know one, the proprietress is more generous, let's go, I'll take you there." ”
And when she had spoken, she was to bring her there.
"Okay, thank you, auntie, auntie is really kind."
Xue Langjing naturally followed.
After walking for about a mile, I came to a shop called Shijia Mill.
When he entered the mill, he saw five stone mills in it.
On the two stone mills, each with a donkey, and a woman on the side, would occasionally put grain into the round holes.
Three other stone mills, one empty, and the other two were pulled by two young men.
There are also stone mounds and other things on the side.
The woman who came in with Xue Langjing called out as soon as she stepped into the mill, "Li Sanjia, I brought you a grinder, you can take a look..."
Hearing the voice, one of the women, who was about the same age as the enthusiastic woman, came up to him, "Here we are." ”
The two women greeted each other, and the third daughter-in-law looked at Xue Langjing, who was standing beside the woman, and the other party was naturally talking about this one.
Originally, when she saw that it was a woman who came to apply for the job, Li San's daughter-in-law was still a little disappointed in her heart, but after seeing the equipment on her body, she was overjoyed.
