Chapter 122: Three Coachmen
Lao Cao's tone sounded like he was going to go to Liangshan.
Han Beiqing said with a smile, "Old Cao, you think too highly of me. I'm just a little girl from an ordinary family. I don't have the ability to do big things, I'm just looking for two coachmen today."
Lao Cao waved his hand and said, "Miss, don't lie to me, I know that the idea of traveling in this oil truck is Miss's." Since we were brought to Miss, it means that it is not the county lord who is in charge, but the lady."
"I know about the oil truck. Don't say that there are four trips a day, and each car can carry up to 14 people. Even if it is eight trips a day, it is full of 100 people. Whatever you do, it's a money-losing deal." Lao Cao shook his head and frowned.
"Yes? A hundred dollars a day is not a loss." Xiao Can muttered quietly on the side.
"Fool! Not to mention that the coachman costs 60 yuan a day. How much does it cost to get a day's grain and grass for these four mules and horses alone? Don't you need money to take care of a large animal? Frame repair, don't you need money?"
Repair a wheel, at least one tael at a time. He couldn't see that it would make money.
"Miss must not have come up with it impulsively. It's just to make it convenient for our people." Before, Lao Cao didn't expect that it was a little girl who was in charge, thinking that it was the county Cheng who was in charge, but he just pushed his daughter to the front.
He thought that this was the righteousness of Han County, and he could have such a benevolent heart, otherwise he would not be a layman. will not be like others, judging people by their appearance and wasting a capable person.
I didn't expect to find out today that the person in charge turned out to be a little girl.
"I really want to make things easier for the people. Even if there is no oil truck, these mules and horses in the family still need to be raised. It is better to spend money on the people." Han Beiqing admitted it, and at the same time touted his father's political achievements.
"But this idea is mine, but I need my father's approval. I couldn't have done this without my father's permission and encouragement. My father is a county magistrate, and he wants to benefit the people of Huaining."
A few people are not stupid, and they have followed along with a few words of praise.
Lao Cao is ugly because of his appearance, but he is very good at horse frames. The kung fu on his body was very good, so Han Beiqing kept him.
In addition, two old men were selected, and although they were older, they were agile and had clear eyes.
A few who were not selected by Han Beiqing were not convinced: "Why did Miss choose these two old ones, why are we young and strong, why don't we fall into Miss's eyes?"
"You're good, but this job is good or bad for you. How can you not make money if you are young and strong, and your hands and feet are diligent? Huaining County is huge, and there are many places willing to use you. You come to me just because you think the oil truck driver is a new thing. After working for three days and five days, I quit my job when I got tired of it."
Several people were a little embarrassed when Han Beiqing said the central matter. They all lowered their heads and scratched their fingers in embarrassment.
"But these two old men are different, they come to me to be coachmen, for three meals a day."
The two old men looked at each other, and they both found resonance in each other's bodies. The two of them both knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces: "Miss is right, I'm here to provide food."
"The old man is old, and his son is not filial and does not have enough to eat. While the old bones still have the strength to do it, I want to come out and give it a try. It's been a lifetime to catch up with the car."
The old man with many age spots on his face is named Liu Ergou. Born as a tenant, he drove a car for the landlord when he was a child. lived with his son and daughter-in-law, because he was old and had some back ears, so he was always disliked.
The round-faced old man looked very haggard in rags. He has no children and no daughters, his wife died ten years ago, and now he is making do with it alone. It used to be a driver in a car shop, but now people don't want to use it when they're old.
"Where do you both live?" Can you enter from the county office?" Recruitment notices were posted throughout the process, and these two people may not live close.
When I asked, there was a place to stay. Liu Ergou lives in the east of the city, and he heard a notice from someone and walked for almost two hours before finding it. And the one named Peng Lianxi lives near the county office.
Han Beiqing asked Dalong to send the other candidates away
, leaving Liu Ergou, Peng Lianxi and Lao Cao behind.
"Brother Cao, these two old men, along with the frames, mules and horses in my house, are all under your control." This is given to a steward.
"Miss, don't worry, I will live up to my trust." Lao Cao patted his chest and promised.
"I started work very early every day, and Master Liu didn't have time to travel. Why don't you just stay?"
For food and shelter, Liu Ergou can't wait for it. Quickly kneel down and kowtow in thanks. Han Beiqing couldn't stand it, an old man who was dozens of years old knelt down and kowtowed to him, and turned to dodge.
"Get up."
He asked Peng Lianxi again if he lived in the yard or went home. Of course, Peng Lianxi didn't want to eat and live in the master's house, which was not very free for him.
"Brother Cao must live in the mansion, so you can live in the West Cross Courtyard with Master Liu."
After hearing this, Xiao Can happily leaned up: "Great, I also live in the West Cross Courtyard. Brother Cao, let's take care of each other in the future."
After deciding on someone, Xiao Can led the three of them to the stable to familiarize themselves with the working environment, and then went to the West Cross Courtyard to see the staff dormitory. Finally, I had my first staff meal in the West Cross Hospital.
"This is for us?" Brother Cao looked at the food on the table in disbelief and didn't dare to move his chopsticks.
"yes, yes. What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Xiao Can holds chopsticks in one hand and steamed buns in the other.
"That's how you usually eat?" Liu Ergou looked at the food in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
"yes, if it's a holiday, it's better to eat. There is meat, and it is all large pieces of meat. It smells good." Xiao Can's abyssal giant mouth swallowed half of the steamed bun with a single movement.
"Stir-fried fungus with cabbage and carrots, dried cowpea with minced meat. And shredded radish soup?" Peng Lianxi rubbed his eyes: "This basket of steamed buns is for us?"
"What, it's bad? I'm telling you, that's good. No one else has such a good dish. I used to work for the shopkeeper, and I only had two meals a day, and I ate wild vegetable cakes."
"No, no. This is great, it's better than what our family eats for the New Year." Liu Ergou couldn't hold back any longer, took a steamed bun and bit it down.
"It smells so good!"
Looking at Liu Ergou, who was confused by the fragrance after a mouthful of steamed buns, Brother Cao was very reserved. Z.br>
"Is this mansion rented by the county lord?" The houses in the back street of the county are bright and spacious, and the prices are not cheap.
"Rent something! My family is just a lifter, and if he wants to be promoted, he has to take exams." Xiao Can didn't have any heart, and as soon as Brother Cao inquired a little, he came out bald.
"It's my young lady who said that my lord has a lot of work, and I'm afraid it will take ten or eight years to be promoted. It's better to buy a house than to rent it."
Therefore, this house was actually bought by Han Beiqing.
