Chapter 196: The crowd is surging
In order to complete the opening of the three stores, Mingyue and Peidi found a dozen decoration contractors with a total of 300 people, under the personal guidance of Ouyang Feng, the transformation was carried out at the fastest speed, and the progress was fast, and it is expected that there will be another ten days and a half months, and the transformation of the three large stores can be completed.
Relatively speaking, the construction of the mercenary group station on Qingfeng's side was much faster, with sufficient manpower, and under the temptation of high salaries, the project progressed rapidly, and the construction continued around the clock, and finally it was completely completed in the middle of the night on the fourth day after the recruitment information was released.
Early the next morning, Qingfeng, Rice Bucket, Bruce, Buddy and Elena came to the new station, and after a turnaround, they were satisfied with the rest of the labor and management to the construction team, and when a few foremen left happily with gold coins, Qingfeng waved to more than twenty middle-aged women and five or six great guys outside the gate of the compound, and these people rushed in with their respective guys.
Qingfeng said to an aunt-level woman at the head: "Lina, this place will be handed over to you, until tonight's dinner, you have to clean every corner, if you have time, remove the wild grass near the courtyard wall, and I will add two more gold coins to you." ”
Lena leaned against a long-handled broom and said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry about leaving it to us, you can rest assured that we will work, it will be absolutely fast and clean." After speaking, he began to divide the labor with a loud voice. Lina and the others are a group of people who specialize in cleaning and dealing with some difficult clutter for some wealthy people in the gate compound, such as weeding, comprehensive cleaning of the courtyard and rooms, and so on. It's almost the same as the current cleaning, and they have a good reputation in the industry, so Qingfeng found them. And give almost twice the gold coins and ask them to help clean up, because today is the day of the interview after the recruitment information is released, if nothing else, many people will be hired and come here today.
Actually, Qingfeng can also let those newly recruited mercenaries clean up by themselves without inviting Lina and them, which is not enough for Qingfeng to think. Those big men are rough, let them fight, and it is difficult for strong people to clean. Even if they were forced to clean up, it was probably a fool, and in order to show the guild's financial strength and strength, Qingfeng didn't think there was any need to save a few gold coins for the new laborers. And it's easy to misunderstand that the Tiger Mercenary Group can't even afford to pay a few gold coins for cleaning, so it's not good.
Give the station to Lena and the others to clean up. Qingfeng gave Bruce and Barlow another 10,000 gold coins, and asked them to buy some furniture and necessities to fill these empty rooms to facilitate the daily life of the mercenaries, and then took the rice bucket and Elena, and the three of them went straight to the mercenary union with a little nervousness and expectation.
The three of them came to the street where the mercenary union was located, and were surprised to find that the mercenary union was the center. The streets outside were already crowded, and some of the guys were all glamorous. The leather armor and weapons are polished, some guys are diametrically opposed, a body of dust, a face full of wind and frost, at first glance, it is from a distant place just arrived and has not had time to wash, one by one mercenaries are scrambling to squeeze inside, but there are too many people, hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together, these mercenaries are not high, squeezing together will inevitably cause friction, Qingfeng The three of them just froze in the periphery for a while, and found that several groups of hot-tempered people have started to fight together, but fortunately, these guys are still sane, both sides just fists and kicks, and they have not used weapons to develop into street fights。
The rice bucket looked at the closed door of the mercenary union and the crowded crowd in front of the door in a daze, scratched his head and asked in wonder: "Second master, why are there so many people today?
Qingfeng shook his head uncertainly and said, "I don't know, it may be that the mercenary union has any activities today." ”
Elena frowned and said, "What are we going to do?" Qingfeng They only stopped for a short time at the edge of the crowd, and the mercenaries who arrived one after another had already blocked their backs, and these guys were not good at stubble, and they squeezed hard into the middle of the crowd.
Qingfeng was distressed when he saw Elena swaying by the crowd, and hesitated for a moment and said to the rice bucket: "You open the way, let's go over and ask the mercenary union what is going on." Then he said to Elena, "You follow me." Elena nodded, she really couldn't stand the rude mercenaries and the strong smell of sweat on their bodies.
The minotaur rice bucket is already tall and strong, coupled with such a long time of cultivation, the strength of a body is not comparable to these mercenaries, stretching his hands forward, and then dividing to both sides, the few guys in front of him and the surrounding crowd suddenly separated to both sides, the rice bucket strode forward, the breeze protected Elena and followed closely, and the three of them approached the mercenary union little by little in the cursing of the mercenaries beside them.
The mercenaries on the periphery of the crowd are basically ordinary people, although they have a little strength, but they can't stand the bara of the rice bucket, but when they get to the inside of the crowd, they are almost to the place where the mercenary union is at the door, and the mercenaries here are different, these guys are all vindictive cultivators with a certain degree of cultivation, and they are naturally extremely indignant to stimulate the dough to resist, and the rice bucket that is worried about hurting people suddenly increases the pressure, and the speed of progress decreases again and again.
At this time, a guy who had just been forcibly pushed away by the rice bucket turned his head and was about to scold, but when he saw the rice bucket, Qingfeng and Elena, he was stunned for a moment, and then tried his best to resist the push from behind, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the tiger leader, you are finally here." After saying that, the flattering block was on Elena's right side, stimulating the fighting spirit to block the crowd from the right side, acting as a guard, protecting Elena's side.
Qingfeng looked at this mercenary who recognized him, and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him in the mercenary union a few days ago, and when he saw him helping to protect Elena, Qingfeng smiled gratefully, and asked curiously: "Why are there so many people today?
The mercenary was stunned when he heard this, and then he introduced himself with a smile and said: "Tiger Leader, my name is Yibu, the strength of the later stage of the swordsman apprentice, I have been taking on various scattered tasks with a few friends before, and the task of escorting the escort is not less, I can't say that I am experienced, but I can be regarded as a little knowledgeable." Qingfeng glanced at Eevee inexplicably, and didn't know why this thing said this as soon as they met.
Eevee smiled awkwardly and said, "You don't know, these people who came here today are all here to apply. ”
Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Apply?"
Yibu nodded and said: "Yes, your Tiger Mercenary Group gave me a really good treatment, everyone is here to try their luck, if you can be hired, you will no longer have to squat here every day to grab a job, we who are mercenaries, the income is unstable, sometimes you can't receive a task in a month, now there is such a good opportunity, everyone comes to try your luck." After listening to Eevee's explanation, Qingfeng suddenly realized that these mercenaries were all here to apply.
At this time, the rice bucket in front was only a dozen meters away from the gate of the mercenary union, and the crowd here was no longer so dense, keeping a certain distance from each other, but the speed of the rice bucket was almost stagnant, because these guys basically had good cultivation, and it was difficult for the rice bucket to help these people with pure physical strength.
The rice bucket was blocked by a guy who was full of fighting energy, and turned to Qingfeng and said, "Second master, I'm going to work hard?"
Qingfeng hesitated, and before he could speak, the self-acquainted Eevee smiled and said, "Leave it to me." After speaking, he shouted to the front: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the tiger commander is here, get out of the way." Eevee's voice was not loud, but the people in front of him could hear it clearly, and they all looked back in their direction like Qingfeng, and the guy who had been blocking the front of the rice bucket just now hurriedly put away his fighting spirit and took a step to the side after learning Qingfeng's identity, making way for a way, and smiled apologetically at the rice bucket.
The effect of Eevee's shouts was immediate, and those in front of them shifted their steps to make way and smile in goodwill. For these people, the rice bucket is not careful, striding straight forward, Qingfeng is not as rude as the rice bucket, even if the kindness of these people is purposeful, but since the goodwill expressed by others, Qingfeng will nod in return, after all, these people have a certain strength, even if they can't all be taken for their own use, but it is easy to talk when they meet after leaving a good impression.
Qingfeng and the three of them together with Yibu and his two friends came to the door of the mercenary union all the way unhindered, a small crack in the closed door of the mercenary union opened, one eye looked through the crack in the door, and then quickly opened the door, the staff member who had received Qingfeng at the beginning let out a sigh of relief, and pulled the three Qingfeng in without saying a word. Ibu and his two friends were just about to follow up in troubled waters, but several staff members at the gate unceremoniously blocked them out.
At this time, seeing that the door of the mercenary union was open, and the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group had arrived, the mercenaries couldn't wait to rush forward, ready to rush into the mercenary union to take a good seat.
Seeing the commotion of the crowd, President Jesse glared at the backs of the three of Qingfeng, strode to the door, and said loudly to the mercenaries: "Everyone, I know what everyone is here for, and I understand everyone's feelings, but the space of the union is limited, and it is impossible to accommodate so many people at the same time, so please be calm, and enter in order after the recruitment begins, if there is any trespasser, it will be regarded as a troublemaker, and the union will deprive it of its mercenary qualifications." "President Jesse's strength is second to none among these mercenaries, and with the full strength in his hands, the mercenaries who were in a commotion just now stopped and didn't dare to mess around.
