Time flies like a white horse, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the uncovered carriage carrying several people slowly drove into the gate of the provincial capital, the old man who was driving stopped at the edge of the city wall with a roar.

"Alright, come down, everyone. If you need to take a horse-drawn carriage on the way back, you will wait here after noon. The fare is still calculated on a one-way basis, and you can go back as much as you want......"

The scholar who was sandwiched between the people rubbed down slowly, and the dark clothes next to him couldn't be seen, and he reached out to help him.

"It's not that I don't have money, so I can hire a carriage alone, but I have to squeeze it with other people." Qing Mo muttered in a low voice.

He has never liked close contact with people, just now there were many people in the car on the road, he has been squeezed by the fat aunt, and when he got out of the car, he also took advantage of the chaos to grab his chest muscles, and then threw a shivering wink, so panicked that he quickly avoided and said goodbye.

Are all the women out there so scary? He wants to go back to Beijing.

"I'm a scholar who has failed to make the list, and now I'm going back to my hometown with my tail between my legs, and I have to save some money before I find a livelihood."

This person is Wei Ziqian. He was not in a hurry to move after he stood still, but only looked around the street with his eyes open, and groaned a little in his heart.

"Sir, now that you're in the city, are you looking for the address of your house first?"

"While it's still early, let's report to Yide Academy first."

Qingmo shrugged, he had no opinion. Easily picked up the carry-on luggage of the two of them, followed behind and left.

But after the two of them had only passed a few streets, Wei Ziqian turned a corner, turned sharply into the alley, and wanted to cross to another street.

"What's wrong?"

"Just now there was Wei Kee Grain and Oil Shop, and it was my brother sitting at the counter."

It's dangerous, it's dangerous, but fortunately, I'm agile enough, and I dodged just before the second brother turned outside. Wei Ziqian was complacent.

Qingmo is inexplicable. "The shop at home is not just right, just throw the luggage in." Although he is not tired on his back, it is also very hindering!

"Don't rush yet, don't rush." Wei Ziqian shook his head.

Qingmo's forehead wanted to be bruised, and he wanted to throw everything on the shoulders of the black boy's weak chicken.

After walking a few steps, I saw a Wei Kee grocery store. Keep turning and hide!

"How many shops do you have, and where do they all open?" Qingmo asked directly, "Why don't you plan the route before leaving, so that the bends and turns will be farther and farther away from Yide Academy." "He's not tired, he's just annoying.

"There are not many shops in the provincial capital, only three." He hadn't asked about anything else. Hey? "Jolly stack."

Qing Mo saw that he stopped and looked up at the signboard of the three-story building. "This is the place to eat." Looking at the appearance of this storefront, it should be a serious store, "Are you hungry?" ”

Wei Ziqian smashed his mouth, not hungry. But you can go in and have a look.

Because the hour is still early, the happy stack is only for lunch and evening two markets, and now the façade has just opened, and the people inside are still busy sprinkling and tidying up, and there is no shopkeeper or little two in front of the counter.

Wei Ziqian touched the crown of his hair, well, not biased or slanted. Then he smoothed the sleeves and hem of his shirt, and then he stepped into the building and asked loudly, "Is the owner there?" ”

The kid who bent over and swept the floor looked up when he heard the sound, frowned when he saw the two of them, and shouted to the inner hall: "Brother Sanshui, there are two more stupid people looking for the owner!" ”

…… Again...... Stupid?

"Ahem." Wei Ziqian glanced at Qingmo wordlessly. If you can kill people with your eyes, I believe that Qingmo has already killed that kid.

Looking around the hall, the decoration style is simple and bright, the green plants and potted plants are properly decorated, the walls are hung with clear real price menus, and there are some dietary health persuasion banners. The overall setting is very comfortable and pleasant.

"The knife is rude." The curtain that blocked the inner hall was lifted, and a young man of about fifteen years old came out, with a smile on his eyebrows.

"The two customers are sorry, the small store has not yet opened the market. I don't know—" His smart eyes rolled to the white shirt with fluttering sleeves, and then saluted the white-shirted scholar with slightly dark skin, and said, "If you want to taste the dishes of the shop, you can come back in half an hour." ”

"Oh," Wei Ziqian looked at him young, but he was wearing the shopkeeper's shirt, "Dare to ask if the owner is in the hall?" ”

Lu Miao's eyes turned cold when he heard this, it was obvious that the word "stupid" was about to be defined on the two of them, but due to occupational diseases, the curvature of his lips did not change. "I don't know what the customer is looking for the owner?"

It seems that many people have come to the door recently? Wei Ziqian's mind turned, and the words on his lips became: "I...... It's a job interview...... "Applicants have to meet each other, right?"

This time, Lu Miao's smile arc also calmed down, fortunately, she was born with a baby face, and she felt kind even if she was expressionless. "Then please go out and walk dozens of steps to the right, and when you see the tooth line of 'come to the money' to sign up, wait for the screening."

With that, he nodded and went inside.

Xiao Er, who was working on the side and pricked up his ears to gossip, sneered, and said to himself in a small voice: "It's a fool who came to see the owner in the name of seeing a worker, can't you change a fresh excuse?" ”

“……”

Wei Ziqian dragged Qing Mo, who had two green tendons on his forehead, and hurriedly stepped out.

"Didn't you say that you were reporting to Yide Academy?" Qingmo was impatient. It doesn't matter if you're wandering the streets, but what's going on with being a fool and continuing to look for a tooth shop. And how can there be a tooth shop called "come to money", just looking at this signboard will think that it is a pawnshop.

"You don't really want to be a buddy and don't go to the academy to teach, do you?"

Wei Ziqian said to him very seriously: "It's okay. Walk! Check it out! ”

Qing Mo rolled his eyes. If Wei Ziqian is a gentleman, he can still act as a scholar. If he went to be a buddy junior, then what would happen to him?

"Come Money" is located at the mouth of an alley, but its popularity is concentrated in the alley that stretches inward. The store is very good at picking a place, this is a one-sided alley, only the left hand side is the entrance and exit of the courtyard, but the right hand side is a complete wall, starting from the entrance, the wall is pasted in turn:

Hanfu recruits two nurses, who are required to be 18-25 years old, in good health, and have a lot of milk. The monthly money is three taels of silver.

The brocade rust garment shop recruits a guy, men and women are not eye-catching, can speak well, and include food and housing. The monthly money is one or two, and the familiar hands are negotiable.

The No. 2 warehouse of the wharf recruits several porters, and the wages are settled on a monthly basis, and the details are negotiable.

Xu's Workshop recruits five apprentices, who are required to be between 8 and 14 years old and sign a lifelong death contract.

……

Few people who gathered to find a way out of the job were literate, but the store arranged for someone to stand in front of the word sign to explain. If you are satisfied, you will go into the store and report your name, age, home, past experience, etc. according to the rules to make a record of the bookcase, and then press your fingerprints to show confirmation, and the dental association will complete the qualification screening and do a background check within one day, and will recommend it to the main family to meet and decide in two days. Then, depending on the difficulty of recruitment or the degree of remuneration for the job, a certain amount of remuneration will be charged to the successful matching employers.

"It's ...... Broker? ”

Although Qingmo has been staying in the capital and has never gone out, he rarely has any dealings with the so-called tooth shop. But...... I vaguely feel that something is different.

Wei Ziqian had a strange look on his face. He stood by and listened for a long time, and then asked the young man who was explaining, "Why do you have to pay a salary if you are looking for a job?" ”

The young man begged for a living in this profession and practiced a pair of sharp eyes. He glanced at the scholar in front of him and said with a smile: "Our 'Come on Money' will do an exclusive interview and investigation on both the main family and the job seeker to ensure that the information provided by both parties is very sincere and credible, so the beer is good and has a high reputation." If 'quick money' can help you find a good job out, what is it to receive a small honorarium? ”

He raised his hand to signal the two of them to look to the left front.

"Look, this old man Qian is recruiting a Mr. Xiucai for Gongzi to be the enlightenment chair, including lunch, and Shu Xiu is two taels a month. If the referral is successful, the 'Quick Money' will only charge one tael of silver as a gratuity, which is very cost-effective for Mr. At present, there are three people who have already registered, if you are interested, you may wish to register as soon as possible. ”

Wei Ziqian thanked the young man for his explanation, looked around the wall roughly, and asked, "Why haven't you seen the recruitment of 'Happy Stack' and 'Happy Valley'?" Is there no shortage of manpower for the time being? ”

The young man said twice, but he didn't hide it, and directly teased: "It turns out that Mr. Drunkard doesn't mean to drink." There are nearly 100 people in the queue for the "fast" brand, and they do things according to the rules, and they pay 100 documents for registration, 200 documents for background investigation, and 50 documents for the cost of chips, a total of 350 documents. But the ugly words come first, the 'fast' brand name is well known to be strictly assessed, so there are three rounds of screening, and many people are brushed down in the first two rounds, so they may not be able to see the nine girls. ”

"......" What did he hear? Did you hear that right? Qingmo plucked his ears and looked at Wei Ziqian, his face was also full of surprise, and the scholar who had always been quick to think was also stammering for a while.

The young man seemed to be very familiar with dealing with this kind of scene, and directly led the person in person to the bookcase, and introduced: "This is the intent of the 'fast' name, let's register first." Then he leaned down to the ear of the bookcase and whispered a reminder: "Another ill-intentioned one, just slaughter it hard." ”

I saw the bookcase nod, and then squinted at the two of them with a smile, and there was a glint in his eyes as if he had seen gold.
