Chapter 666: Women should be self-reliant
No matter what others think of the women's club, Xu Wenlan still bought everyone through the teeth of three people.
Fifty women, the oldest sixteen, the youngest only thirteen years old, looking at this group of girls who trembled like quails, Xu Wenlan really felt that she was an evil capitalist, no, not just a capitalist, but a slave owner.
Sighing, she took the girls into the garden, and first set them up for lodging, and then let the hired servants water them, and first let them bathe, and clean the fleas and bugs, and change into clean muslin clothes, and then they had a full meal, and they looked a little bloody.
But when they were recruited to the lobby of Tsinghua Building to gather together, most of them still lowered their heads and were timid.
When it wasn't sold, I heard that this club was opened, although people said that it was not a green building but a restaurant, but these girls had no bottom in their hearts.
I've never heard of a restaurant that needs so many girls to open, aren't they all hired cooks in a hurry?
With such suspicions, these girls naturally can't let go.
But there are also bold ones, one of the girls with big eyes, she didn't comb her hair after washing it, she just put it together, stared straight at Xu Wenlan, clenched her fists and said: "We are also daughters of pure white families, if you want us to do those disgusting things, we will never do it." If you force us, you'll only want our lives at most. ”
"Why is it so scary, I'm afraid." Xu Wenlan smiled, even in the face of so many distrustful eyes, she still smiled and said: "I know that everyone is very afraid, afraid of being sold to a dirty place and forced to do something bad." But everyone thinks about it, if I am in that kind of skin and meat business, how can I make a living contract with you, and naturally I have to make a death contract, so that you can make money and work hard until you die, and then you feel that it is enough, right? ”
As soon as she said this, those who were afraid were even more afraid, but the bold ones looked at her with wide eyes.
Xu Wenlan looked at it, stretched out her finger and pointed at the big-eyed girl, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”
"Flowers, flowers," the girl was bold, seeing Xu Wenlan's kindness, she was not so afraid, and asked directly: "It's not that kind of building, what are you doing when you buy so many of our girls?" ”
Xu Wenlan smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "My garden is the first women's club outside our gate. "It's as if there is a women's club next to the Qing Dynasty.
"In order to relieve the big guys' doubts, I'll talk about what this club is, if this is a restaurant, that's it, let's sell good wine, good food and good food; If you want to say that it is a drama garden, it is also, we will invite the best troupe here, and now I have already posted a post to invite a troupe in Beijing. But our women's club, there are some other interesting places, if you like to enjoy the flowers in the garden, there is here; If you like a small banquet and a poetry meeting, we can do it too; It's no problem if you want to throw pots and fight grass, there is also the best runway for running horses, and there is also a martial arts training ground for archery competitions...... In short, all entertainment projects are available in women's clubs, but this is only for women, and they have to be our members. ”
Xu Wenlan said this, these girls really haven't heard it, and they were fascinated for a while, no one spoke, so they still had the courage to ask: "Then, we just work like guys in the restaurant?" ”
"Exactly," Xu Wenlan responded with a smile: "But what exactly you will do, and how much money you can get, depends on how well you have learned during this time." ”
"Still want to learn?" Some girls weren't very happy.
"How can you do things well without learning things? The maids in our house must be able to read and write, and their work must be clean and beautiful, and if any of you refuse to learn, then come out now, and I will send you back. ”
As soon as Xu Wenlan said this, those girls lowered their heads and touched the muslin clothes on their bodies, and then thought about the meal they had just eaten, and immediately silenced, and then honestly went to learn literacy and work.
Half a year has passed in such a small way, and it can be regarded as a slight success, and no matter how bad it is, you can recognize a hundred or so words. Doing work is even more attentive.
Xu Wenlan assigned positions according to everyone's usual academic performance and good work, some of them were naturally assigned to the front line of service, and some of them were assigned to the back of the scenes.
With such a distribution, food and clothing are not the same with monthly silver.
Those who were assigned to take care of the horses and clean the garden, especially those who had to take care of the latrines, were not happy.
In front of Xu Wenlan, Xu Wenlan only asked her: "Have you studied hard to let you know how to read?" Teach you to work, have you done a good job? Neither can read and write, but also does not need to learn meticulous work, so naturally he can only be sent to be a rough envoy. ”
In front of everyone, Xu Wenlan said in a deep voice: "Since you have been sold, it must be that your family is in a bad situation." There may also be people who complain about God's injustice and let you be born into such a poor family. But I'm going to put it here today, God he hasn't been fair! Even if they are born in the same place, there are those who live well and those who do not live. What this person will do depends on herself. ”
After a pause, she added: "Ten years ago, my family was just a farmer, but now I have a shop, a factory and a club, I can't be said to be rich, but I am finally rich." Even my two elder brothers also relied on their own skills to take the Jinshi examination and become an official, and went to the battlefield to become a general. This person's life, in addition to God, depends on how you live. ”
Slowly sweeping her eyes from left to right, Xu Wenlan looked at the women in front of her and said in a deep voice: "Women should be self-reliant!" Today, you are willing to study hard and do it hard, not to mention now, even if he leaves the club on the other day, he also has a skill to be around, and he can make money and support his family, what's wrong? ”
Xu Wenlan said this, not expecting everyone to be able to listen, but as long as half of them listened, it was always good.
Hua Qiao listened to Xu Wenlan's words and was enthusiastic, and she didn't know what to think in her heart, so she asked directly: "Then what if I don't want to leave?" ”
"It's okay if you don't want to leave, if you have the ability, you will either be promoted to management or account room in the future, and you may even be sent to open a branch of the club elsewhere, and you will also be a big shopkeeper, and you will naturally earn more monthly silver."
It is not easy to train a group of successful hands, if it is really done, these people will naturally be used, even if they really go to open a store elsewhere, they must also use the old people to bring the new people.
With Xu Wenlan's combination of soft and hard, those who are not convinced dare not make trouble anymore, they just hope that they can do well and really have a chance to rise.
Suppressing these waitress, Xu Wenlan started the things on the side, there were too many things to be busy with to open, she hadn't seen Bai Shengwen for more than two months, and all her mind was on preparations.
said that she went to Beijing to post a post to invite the troupe, it's not a lie, it's just that the troupe has to come and it takes two months to get there, and no one can say the situation on the road, so she invited a team named outside the customs to make up for it.
