Chapter 241: Gastronomy Attracts a Lot of Workers
After the lid of the pot was opened, the fragrance became stronger, and the workers couldn't help but gather in an orderly line in front of the canteen.
Wang Duo stood at the front of the crowd, holding a large porcelain bowl in his hands, "Little Miss, I want a big bowl, it's full." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and scooped a large spoonful and put it in the bowl, and in an instant, the big white porcelain bowl was piled up into a hill.
Wang Duo smiled stupidly, holding the bowl carefully, looking like a stupid son of the landlord's family.
It wasn't until the sun completely set that Xu Xiaoxiao and the villagers finished their dinner, and they were also hungry, so they scooped up a few spoonfuls and ate them.
The onlookers watched hungrily, and everyone wanted to taste the rice in the iron pot, even if it was a pot.
Liu Dahua saw the pedestrian's thoughts, smiled and beckoned the pedestrians to come and sit down, so he enthusiastically served the bacon rice to the pedestrians.
.........
The next day, Wang Er returned to the ingenious house outside tiredly, Liu Qiaoer had just finished paying the cooks' wages, and looked at him lying on the side in confusion.
"How far have you been?"
She poured the tea and handed it to Wang Er.
Wang Er picked it up and finished it, "Don't talk about it, I even went to hundreds of miles of villages, and the effect was not very good." ”
When he said this, he had a headache and was particularly frustrated.
"What is the reason? We get paid a lot. Liu Qiaoer closed the account with a puzzled expression.
"There are quite a few, it is estimated that many people are afraid when they receive that the Turks are going to attack Xin'an City, so they would rather stay in the village or leave than come." Wang Er sighed helplessly, when will this kind of day be a head.
Liu Qiaoer didn't know how to comfort him in this situation, so she had to hand him the candy that she usually decompressed.
Wang Er's eyes lit up when he saw the candy, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, there was a commotion outside the door.
He looked out, and a group of people suddenly gathered outside the door, each carrying large bags of luggage, staring at him in unison.
He hurriedly swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, and put away the candy with a flat mouth, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"We want to find the king's shopkeeper." The old man in the lead said politely and humbly.
The king's shopkeeper? Wang Er was stunned for a while, could it be him?
Just as he was struggling, the young man behind the old man whispered in his ear, "Dad, it's him." ”
Wang Er heard what the young man said, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, shouldn't he have provoked someone to come to him to settle accounts?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he cautiously stepped back.
Liu Qiao'er walked out of the door curiously, and Wang Er saw her and hurriedly pulled her back, "Don't go out, what if you're looking for trouble?"
The old man heard Wang Er's words, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, don't be afraid, we are here to find a job, I heard that you are recruiting workers here, recruiting workers to build a fence." ”
When Wang Er heard this, the whole person immediately relaxed, "Old man, you are scared to death." ”
He walked out of the door generously, and looked out, good guy, the people outside the door were all covered in the street, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of people.
"These are all here to work?" Wang Er tiptoed and looked up, a black oppressive grace.
"Yes, we heard that three meals are served here, and the villagers who have eaten one meal here came back and said that everyone was moved and came over." The old man hurriedly explained.
Wang Er pondered curiously, "Have you eaten a meal?" Where to eat? ”
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao came back from going out and saw that the front of his tavern was full of people, and there was not even a gap.
She still used her strength to squeeze in, "What's going on at this time?" ”
She stood in front of Wang Er with her hair in a messy bun, and looked back blankly at the crowded heads, which was not good, so that the street could not walk together.
"They're here to apply for construction workers." Wang Er explained respectfully.
The young man behind the old man recognized Xu Xiaoxiao and shouted excitedly, his eyes full of admiration, "It's her, the one who gave me dinner that day." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao found the young man and remembered the relationship in the cafeteria a few days ago, "It's you." ”
"Shopkeeper Xu, you remember me." Zhao Qiuqiu walked out from behind his father excitedly.
"Remember, if you can get off the street first, I'm worried about affecting the others." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the congested streets worriedly.
Xu Xiaoxiao, Wang Er and Liu Qiaoer came to the construction site with hundreds of people.
Unsuspecting pedestrians thought they were going to fight/group/fight.
Wang Duo also found the menacing crowd, he immediately asked the soldiers to pull out the matching sword, and when he saw that it was Xu Xiaoxiao, he immediately asked people to put away the matching sword.
"Little Miss?"
He looked at the person behind Xu Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"They're here to apply for construction workers." Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to explain the person behind her, and she was still confused.
The old man behind him walked out of the crowd, "My lord, we are the villagers of Zhaojia Village, the distance is more than a hundred kilometers, my son Zhao Qiuqiu had a meal here some time ago, and came back and said that you have three meals here, and people from other villages still cover it, is it true?" ”
The first time Wang Duo encountered this kind of thing, he was stunned for a while, and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao blankly, he was not the person in charge, how could he reply.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and relieved him, "Is there such a thing, old man, your surname?" ”
"The old man's name is Zhao Daodao, and he is the Li Zheng of Zhaojia Village."
"The monthly silver is five taels per month, including food and housing, if you live, if there is no problem, you have to make a registration here in Wang Duo, this registration is mainly to check the household registration of Wei, and you can work the next day if you confirm that there is no problem."
The villagers of Zhaojia Village discussed with each other excitedly when they heard this, and everyone had long wanted to escape from Zhaojia Village, but when they heard that the capital had become, the south was already a wasteland.
Xin'an City does not accept outsiders easily, so they can only enter the city to do business and trade, and the population of their village is so large that if they enter the city and have no place to live, they will be driven out.
Everyone heard Zhao Qiuqiu say that the city recruited workers to build high walls, so they discussed that it was better to come to the city to have a good idea if they stayed in the village anyway and had no food.
Zhao Lizheng was very satisfied after listening to it, and then thought of other questions, and his face became gloomy again, "There is another problem, that is, ..... After it is built, will we be able to stay in the city? ”
The main reason why he had this concern was that the reason why the city of Xin'an was built was not to prevent the Turks from attacking.
Then if they can stay this time, they will go back, and going back is only a dead end.
Xu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, "This question should be asked to the prince, rest assured that we will not push you out if there is danger." ”
Zhao Lizheng heard Xu Xiaoxiao's remarks, and felt a lot more relieved, as long as he didn't want to drive them away, there was still hope.
After the people of Zhaojia Village briefly understood the work of the wall, Xu Xiaoxiao took hundreds of people to Liujia Village.
