Chapter 253: The Adventures of Migrant Workers (6)
"Supper? What's it? β
Zhao Dalang was a little puzzled, he was a country man, he only had the strength of his body, he had never read a book, and he had no knowledge.
"With this little card, you can go to eat for free?"
Zhao Li rubbed the bamboo card in her hand, and the word on it was already known to her that it was a "real" word.
But she still didn't understand anything.
"Forget it! Check it out first! Fill your stomach first! β
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao hesitated and doubted, but in the end, they decided to go to the cafeteria.
Even if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost.
When the couple walked out of the dormitory, they found that there were also many people, all holding bamboo signs, walking outside.
They followed the crowd all the way to the cafeteria.
After entering the cafeteria, Zhao Dalang and his wife were shocked again.
Is this the place to eat?
No, the cafeteria itself, there's nothing to be surprised about.
It's a boxy room, about the size of a two-room room, about forty square meters.
What shocked Zhao Dalang and his wife was the furnishings in the canteen.
On the north wall, there are rows of tables underneath.
On the table, there are clay pots.
Each basin is huge, the size of a washbasin.
There were all kinds of food piled up in the clay pot, and it was still steaming at the moment.
Zhao Dalang followed the crowd and came to the north wall, standing in front of the table, and suddenly a strong aroma rushed to his face.
It smells so good!
It's really fragrant!
And this dish, it doesn't look like it's steamed, it's not like it's boiled, it's oily on top, and you have an appetite when you look at it.
"What's this?"
"Stir-fry! Our unique cuisine in Longmenzhai. β
"Stir-fry, stir-fry?" I haven't heard of it. I haven't eaten it yet.
"It's fried in meat oil, it's fragrant! It is more fragrant than stewed, boiled, and steamed. β
Xu is that there are always "newcomers" during this time, and the people in the canteen are used to answering these questions.
When I met Zhao Dalang and others, I didn't feel novel, and I patiently answered their questions.
ββ¦β¦ Is this meat? β
Zhao Dalang's gaze skimmed over the vegetable pots one by one, and finally landed on a pot of meat pieces with thick oil red sauce.
"That's right! It's braised pork! The first initiative of our village owner is the signature dish of our women's soldiers! β
"Lady soldiers? What's it again? Isn't this a cottage, how can there be soldiers? β
"The women's soldiers are the private soldiers of our village owner. This is indeed a cottage, but there is no rule that says that there can be no soldiers in the cottage? β
"......" makes sense! It's true that no one prescribes it.
"You're new here. Is it the villagers in the village, or the workers in the workshop, or the female soldiers who have joined the army? β
"I'm from the Workshop! That, this Lang Jun, what is the difference between the villagers, the workers and the women's soldiers? β
"The villagers are the farmers who have settled in the village, and they specialize in the terraces. As for the workers, some are recruited and some are refuted, mainly working in various workshops. The women's soldiers are powerful, they are the private soldiers of the owner of the village, this one has requirements, and they must have a clean family background, aged 16 to 30 years old......"
When Zhao Dalang came to the cafeteria, he didn't rush to eat, but inquired about a lot of things in the cottage.
After listening to the words of the canteen staff, Zhao Dalang was in a trance.
Longmen Village is completely different from what he imagined.
It is neither a den of mountain bandits, nor a simple workshop, but a ...... It's like a small city with a wide range of categories.
There are workers, peasants, soldiers, hired people, and some who take refuge.
"Is this refuge just selling yourself?"
ββ¦β¦ It's not selling our bodies, we don't buy people, but we really follow the owner! β
"So, what's the difference between taking refuge and hiring?"
ββ¦β¦ Those who are hired can leave at any time, but those who really take refuge must take the cottage as their home and the owner of the cottage as the master. The benefits package is also different. Hired workers are simply paid and bonuses, while those who take refuge can get houses, fields or permanent jobs in cottages......"
You don't have to sell yourself to get a house and land?
So good?
Zhao Dalang's eyes lit up.
The canteen staff did not forget to remind, "The house and the field are all in the mountains." β
Maybe there will be outside in the future, but you must follow the footsteps of the owner of the village and obey the orders of the owner of the village!
All in the mountains?
Do you want to move your family to the mountains in the future?
The light in Zhao Dalang's eyes became dim.
But soon, it lit up againβ
And what about in the mountains?
I have a house, I have a field, I have a job, and I canβ
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Zhao Dalang thought of something, and hurriedly confirmed again: "These meals are really free to eat?" Don't want money? β
"That's right! Gratuitous! As long as you don't waste it, you can eat as much as you want, and eat it openly! β
"So, what if it's someone else? I mean, me, my wife and my children? β
"If you move your family here, officially put yourself under the main door of the village, your family, etc., you can come to the canteen, the elderly enjoy half price, and children under the age of six are free." Give money, however, only half of it.
ββ¦β¦ Half? How much? "If the price is very high, half price is not a lot of money.
Zhao Dalang was really scared by loan sharks and those who introduced jobs in the county. I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of it.
"The standard for every meal per day is about one copper coin."
"It's all like this?" Meat, vegetarian and soup?
"That's right! It's basically like this. β
The owner of the village is rich, and since he was on the road, he has never deducted the rations of the big guys.
Now that there are cottages, fields, and salt mines, there is no shortage of money.
As for the cost of the canteen, the owner of the village will not care.
Of course, when the staff said this, it was not that they thought Shen Wu should be generous, but that he understood that the master of their family understood the hardships of the little people at the bottom and had a compassionate heart.
And they, while enjoying this, will also be grateful for the kindness of their masters, and desperately protect them.
They are not guarding their masters, but their own beautiful and rich lives!
This is also Shen Wu's strategy, she won people's hearts, not by a deed of sale, or an oath to follow to the death, but by these "benefits".
Follow her and work hard with her to have.
If you leave, or don't want to give...... Hehe, I'm sorry, where did you come from, go back, what you used to be like will change back to the past!
No, Zhao Dalang, a migrant worker who had just gone up the mountain, was moved.
He and his wife are workers and can eat for free.
My mother is an old man, half price, only one and a half copper coins a day.
Two children, a five-year-old and a two-year-old, both under six, for free!
The point is, the meal is also too good.
Regardless of the taste, just "eat it open" is attractive enough.
Zhao Dalang squeezed out of the crowd and found his wife Zhao Li: "Lady, let's also move our family to Longmen Village, right?" β
Zhao Lishi: ......
She was also inquiring just now, and after inquiring, she was also moved.
Butβ
"Look again! Let's see if you are tired from work tomorrow! β
As long as it is not the kind of tired people, Zhao Li is willing to join Longmen Village with his family!
