Chapter 218: It's hard to find someone in your spare time
Tossed the students, ate a meal at noon, took time to take a nap, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Heng rode on the black beans and went to the town.
The bar is as lively as ever, this kind of liveliness is naturally much more than when Jian Heng just came back, but it is a little worse than when Jian Heng came over two days ago, at least when he pushed the door open and went in, the corner of the aisle was empty, and now the table is full, but there are almost a dozen fewer people than in the previous two days.
"Sarah!"
After Jian Heng greeted a circle of people, he sat down next to the bar, reached out and gently tapped the table top of the bar with his knuckles, and shouted to the barkeeper who was busy with her back to her.
There were a lot of people in the bar, but the sound of everyone talking was not too loud, so as soon as Jian Heng knocked on the table, Sara heard it, and when she turned her head to see that it was Jian Heng, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"The same old way?" Sara asked, quickly turning around, taking an empty glass, and preparing to shovel ice cubes and pour wine.
"The same old way!" Jian Heng nodded.
With a slight snap, Jian Heng lowered his head and found that a whisky had been placed in front of him, so he took a sip casually, and continued to turn his head to look around.
Sara put her hands on the table, and when she saw Jian Heng's movements, she asked, "What, come to find someone today?" ”
"It's really looking for someone, I want to find a skilled old cowboy to help manage the livestock herd on the ranch, and by the way, bring the original two guys, these two guys are diligent and diligent, but they are inexperienced......" Jian Heng had nothing to hide from Sarah, so he told him about the general situation and his own requirements.
After finishing speaking, Jian Heng took another sip of wine and said to Sara: "Help me recommend a few powerful old cowboys, you know the salary or something, I am not ......."
Speaking of this, Jian Heng noticed that Sarah's face was a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Is it still difficult to hire a cowboy at this time? ”
"It's usually very easy to hire a cowboy at this time, but this year, or today, it's different, if you can hire it in the morning, even if you come before one o'clock in the afternoon, it's not too much of a problem, but now you want to hire a good cowboy, it's not easy!" Sara gave Jian Heng a wry smile.
Hearing that someone over there asked for a bottle of beer, Sarama handed a bottle to the guest, and then turned back to Jian Heng, and then began to explain to Jian Heng: "Have you heard about the big ranch?" ”
Jian Heng knew what the big ranch in her mouth meant, so she nodded: "I heard, didn't you say that some calves were killed?" ”
Jian Hengxin said: It Edwin Harrison Marcus ranch killed its cows, is there any conflict with me hiring cowboys?
Just wanted to ask, his mind turned around in an instant, so his face became bitter: "So that's the case!" ”
Everyone is afraid that wolves will attack their cattle herd like they attacked Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch, so naturally they have to hire more cowboys to watch over their own herd, for ranchers, livestock is everything, if you lose livestock this year, you may not be able to turn over for the rest of your life.
"Naturally, who wants to save cowboys' wages at this time, all the idle cowboys are hired in just one morning."
Speaking of this, Sara raised her hand and drew a circle: "When the door opened in the morning, it was still crowded with people, but now you see, because it should be the busiest time, and it is just full."
Jian Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Sarah, I used to be unable to sit half of the day every day, but now it's full, but you don't think there is anyone standing in the aisle, and there is no one leaning on the wall, it's too greedy."
Sara laughed when she heard this: "I'm going to expand the bar and double the area later!" Otherwise, it will affect the business too much, and the customers are now complaining every day."
"It's time to expand!" Jian Heng's eyes swept over the people around him: "In the past, every time I came, there was a bar seat to sit, but now I stand every time."
"Okay, you can help me save some money, if there is a good cowboy to help me ask" Jian Heng finished drinking the wine in the glass, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a ticket and pressed it under the glass, not only paid for the wine, but also gave a tip.
Sara nodded and quickly put away her cup and tip.
Just when Jian Heng was about to leave, he saw a man dressed as a cowboy walk into the house, the whole person was a little distracted, and after entering the house, he walked to the corner without saying a word, there was an A3 paper-sized platform over there, leaning next to the platform, he stretched out his hand and motioned to the waitress Elizabeth to come over and ask for a cheap wine.
"Is this guy a cowboy? What about the level? Jian Heng saw that the word cowboy was almost written on the door of his head, so he turned his head and asked Sara about the situation.
Sara glanced at the drunkard, and then whispered to Jian Heng across the bar.
Before Sara could speak, one of the drinkers next to him said, "You have to think about hiring him, he was fired from the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch because he failed to protect the interests of the ranch when facing the wolves, and put his companions in a dangerous situation......."
Sara heard someone talking to Jian Heng, so she smiled and listened to the guest while wiping the freshly washed wine glass in her hand.
"Man, if you hire him to guard against wolves, you'll have to think about it!" After speaking, he smiled at Jian Heng, then put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and went out to the bar.
Jian Heng watched the people leave, turned to Sara and asked, "Is that so?" ”
"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's pretty much the case, Toby's ability is definitely fine, but no one wants to hire him right now!" Sara didn't say anything more.
What Jian Heng wants here is good ability, thinking that this thing has also worked at the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch, then there shouldn't be any big problems technically, as for wolf prevention? Counting on a cowboy plus Zhang Jialiang and Huang Xiaodong, the daylily is cold.
Jian Heng thought of this, stretched out his hand and waved at Sarah, and stretched out two fingers: "Two glasses of wine!" ”
After saying that, he saw Elizabeth coming, so he motioned for her to give one of the cups to the cowboy named Toby in the corner.
Sipping the second glass of wine in his hand, Jian Heng looked at Toby, wanting to see his reaction, and then went up to talk.
Toby was squatting in the corner at this time and drinking sullenly, and it was the cheapest wine, as a man, he has always done his best at work, because he is dragging his family, has a wife and children, originally lived a good life, with a stable income and everything in the family is in order.
But everything changed from that night on, not only did he lose his job, but he also ruined his reputation, so that no ranch was willing to hire him anymore, and he had been thinking to himself for the past few days, why did he throw away the gun at that time, even if he fought hard and fired the gun, he could keep his job, at most it was just like the one lying in the hospital now, with his salary and bonus, it was nothing more than a little sin.
Right now? What should I do now? Toby couldn't help but ask himself.
Toby thinks he probably can't get along on the ranch anymore and plans to go to the city in two days to try his luck and find some work that has nothing to do with the ranch.
But it has nothing to do with the ranch, Toby is almost a novice who knows nothing, he has had no other life skills other than cattle herding since he was a teenager, and now he has to start washing dishes and sweeping the floors when he goes to the city, or he is going to be a truck driver or something.
Just as Toby's mind was wandering, he was puzzled to see a whiskey on his 'little wine table', and at a glance he knew that it was much better than the one he was serving now.
Toby hurriedly said, "Elizabeth, I didn't call this!" ”
Before he gets a job, he has to save every penny, because if he spends less, his wife and children will be more comfortable.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Mr. Jean over there sent it!" ”
And kindly reminded him that the Mr. Jean who delivered the wine was a rancher.
In fact, there is no need to introduce it, Toby also knows who is bringing him wine, the nearby ranchers are mostly white, and there are only two or three Latinos, but Asians are the only seedlings of Silent Lake Ranch, and when you look at the appearance of the person at the bar, you can guess that it is a cowboy.
No matter how stupid Toby is, he understands why people send wine, and suddenly his heart jumps up uncompromisingly, thinking that a rancher actually gave him a chance, and immediately cheers himself up in his heart: Toby, Toby, be polite, you must seize this opportunity!
