The ancient life of a master craftsman

"Do you think we can be admired by Mr. Liu?" A skinny young man asked his little friend.

His little friend was biting his finger, silently counting the number of people in front of him, "Sure, we are all fifteen, energetic, and honest in our work, so Mr. Liu will definitely be willing to hire us."

The skinny young man was a bit apprehensive, "I don't think so. I heard that many people who went out to do small jobs have returned, and they are just waiting to work in Mr. Liu's factory!"

Another boy was also worried when he heard it, "Really? What about the wages they have been working for for a few days? If they haven't worked for ten days, they don't even pay wages. How can they be willing? It's fifty yuan a day. "

The skinny boy said, "Think about it, although I have lost a few days of wages now, if I can enter the Liu family's factory as a long-term worker, the wages will be [-] yuan a month, and at least I will have to work for a year Well, which one is important?"

When the teenagers heard it, even if they were not good at math, they knew which one had more money, and they still guarded the door of the house, so of course they chose this one.

But in this case, their chances of being selected will be much smaller, and everyone will feel uneasy.One of the youngsters was the eldest of the family, he asked, "Peanut, do you think Brother Yunshan and the others have discussed with Mr. Liu that they want to have one person in the family?"

This is the default rule in their village before. In order to win benefits for more people, the village head and patriarch will arrange as much as possible for each family and one place in major matters, so that the benefits can benefit every family in the village. .

Peanut shook his head, "I asked Brother Huaishan quietly, and he said that this time, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li in the town are doing business together. Mr. Li paid a lot of money to recruit workers in our village. Mr. Liu is not If you don’t get in touch with them, you will be powerless.”

"Wouldn't that mean that those who offend Brother Li can't be recruited?"

Peanut and Muhuaishan's family are neighbors, and he was the first to know about many things. He shook his head, "Not only Brother Li, but also Brother Xiao Li. I heard that those people used to speak ill of Brother Xiao Li every day , will not be hired this time.”

The young man took a deep breath, "Do you know who they are? There won't be my family, right? My sister's mouth is broken, and I don't know if she has ever scolded Brother Xiaoli. What if there is my family? "

Peanut was about to cry when he saw him, and patted him on the shoulder, "I don't know who those people are, but they probably don't have your family, your sister usually doesn't like to go out."

But the boy was really about to cry, "If there is, I will beat my sister when I get home, and make her stop working every day and talk nonsense everywhere!"

The other teenagers also comforted him, but there was nothing he could do about it. Once there was a girl in the family, it would be a treasure in the palm of his hand.A lot of girls are pampered so badly that they play with those gossiping women who love to steal and play tricks all day long, so they just learn to play tricks and play tricks.

They were worried and waited for the door of Li's house to open.

In the yard, Li Enbai and Liu Mingxi were talking about recruiting workers today. They needed a lot of people to build the house and tried to build the factory in the shortest possible time. Now it is the end of November and it is actually not suitable to start construction, but Liu Mingxi is impatient , and he was worried that he would not be able to stay in Xinglong County until June or July next year, so it would be better to start earlier.

"Brother En, there are more and more people outside, shall we start?" Yunli quietly glanced at the scene outside the door, and came over to urge.

Li Enbai saw that the time was almost up, "Then let's start."

Yunli happily responded, "Hey, then let's go get ready."

"Well, go ahead, don't get tired, just call me if you can't move the table." Li Enbai saw his cheerful look, and didn't want to disturb his interest, so he let him do it himself.

Liu Mingxi sighed again, "Linfeng, you are different from others."

Li Enbai knew what he said was different. If it was someone else's family, Fu Lang would not allow him to participate in such an important matter. Hu Fu Lang and his husband-in-law are already very affectionate, but if you want to ask Hu Fulang about his husband-in-law's work, he also knows Just an impression.

But the Li family is not like this. Yunli knows everything Li Enbai does. What's more, many things in their family are decided by two people after discussion, including this job recruitment. Liu Mingxi just planned to send a steward to take charge.

Li Enbai went to his house ahead of time and dragged him over, just because his Lizi wanted to get involved.Li Enbai really spoiled Yunli so much.

"The husband and wife should have discussions and support each other. I don't think there is anything special about me."

Liu Mingxi yawned, "It's up to you, but what's the matter with Brother Qing and the others getting involved?"

"Brother Qing and Li Zi have been playing together since they were young. They have a good relationship like brothers. Naturally, he will not leave them behind." Li Enbai added a cup of tea to Liu Mingxi, "Besides, it's not something important. It’s good for them to practice their hands.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Liu Mingxi drank a cup of tea and stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Liu Chong stepped forward to lift up his chair, and followed Liu and Li to the gate.

When they arrived, Yunli and Brother Qing had already set up a row of tables at the gate, directly blocking the gate of Li's house, and Brother Qing was still standing aside and shouting loudly, "Everyone line up, line up!" In two rows!"

The guys were a little bit confused when they saw that there were a few little brothers busy there, but they obediently obeyed when they were asked to line up, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Mr. Liu at this time.

When they were almost queuing up, Li Enbai and Liu Mingxi also came out. Li Enbai signaled him to say a few words, and Liu Mingxi had no choice but to clap his hands to let everyone's attention focus on him.

"Ahem, today is the day when our Liu family is recruiting workers. Everyone has read the recruitment notice before, and it is very clear. After a while, you will go forward one by one in the order of queuing. When you see these people, my little brother Is it? They answer whatever they ask, they will record your answers and give them to me, and every hour, they will notify a batch of the list of people who have been hired."

"Do you understand everything?" Liu Mingxi spoke very fast, and there was no time for anyone to ask questions.

But there are always people who are ignorant, and there is a man with a fleshy face in the crowd, winking and asking obscenely, "Then what if the little brothers deliberately write badly? Boss Liu, you can't just listen to the little brother." If so!"

Liu Mingxi smiled, very indifferently, "You can get lost."

"What do you mean? What's wrong with me?"

Liu Mingxi turned around and went back to the yard. Brother Qing was a pungent man, so he said directly to the man, "Hurry up, get out of here, you won't be hired this time, so why don't you stay cool!"

He put his hands on his hips and raised his chin. "Let me make it clear first. Boss Liu's family has a big business, and he made people unhappy. If he doesn't recruit people in our village, he will be the sinner of the whole village!"

"Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Li Zi and Brother Li's hard work, you wouldn't have had the chance to make money this time, so be honest and don't be ignorant!"

Lizi is also not humble, he calmed down, and patted the table, "My husband and Boss Liu are in business together, so I want to take care of the people in our village, but if any of you dare to make trouble for nothing, I will say it ugly up front, who is my husband?" Don't give me any face, just get out of here."

It was the first time for the two little brothers to be so tough in front of almost all the men in the village, and it didn't feel bad. Brother Xue and Brother Yu didn't interrupt, but stood silently beside them to give them more confidence.

The man with a face full of flesh turned his head and spit, "Hey! What a bull?! My little brother is not at home and learns to serve the masters, and he ran out to show his prestige! We men's business, you little brother also If you dare to intervene, go home!"

There were also people who thought the same as him. There was a buzzing sound in the crowd. Listen carefully. There were many people saying, "My little brother is here to recruit workers? How strange." "That's right, how embarrassing, how dare they?"

There were also some people who stood silently on the side and lined up silently, excluding those who got together and chattered away from the line.

Peanut stood at the first position, he looked at Yunli, "Brother Xiaoli, can we start?"

His question angered those muttering men, they accused him one after another, and some people came to drag him directly, "What do you want to do, kid? How can you let the little brother pick and choose you? ! Not promising!"

Peanut hid away and didn't listen to him. The teenagers who came with Peanut also had the same attitude, especially the one who was worried about being troubled by his sister, and retorted loudly, "We don't care what you want to do, but this is Liu If the boss wants to recruit workers, he can do whatever he wants, and if you don’t want to, just leave!”

"Hey, you kid deserves a beating, right?!"

Li Enbai came out from inside, he stood beside Yunli, held Yunli's hand, "Quiet!"

The buzzing sound became much quieter, but it didn't disappear completely. He didn't care, and said directly, "My husband and I won this recruitment for Huaimu Village. I asked who will interview you. You have to be obedient, and you can choose not to apply if you are not obedient. Do you understand?"

"It's okay if you don't understand. We are now recruiting. Those who are not in the team are not allowed to apply." After speaking, Li Enbai smiled at Yunli, "Let's start, don't work too hard."

Yunli nodded, "Well, I see."

The four of them sat down and said to the two lines, "The left line goes to my side. Be careful not to mess up the order, and the right line goes to Qingge'er."

Yunli and Brother Yu were in charge of one row, Brother Qing and Brother Xue were in charge of the other row, Peanut and his friends happened to be standing in two rows, and they were the first to step forward at this moment.

"Name, age." Yunli asked.

Peanut was a little nervous, but he still answered seriously, "My name is Mu Huasheng, and I'm fifteen this year. I have energy and can do anything."

Yunli smiled, "Don't be nervous, just answer whatever I ask you."

"What position do you intend to apply for?"

"Ah? I haven't thought about it, I can do anything!" Peanut really hasn't thought about it, he thought that as long as he can be hired, he can do anything, he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness!

"Well, in the first three months, I will be a bricklayer. It will be quite hard. Would you like to?"

"Willing, willing!"

"Are you literate?"

Peanut had a bitter face, and honestly shook his head, "I don't know how to read."

He saw Yunli write down another note on the paper, but he didn't know what he wrote down, and his heart was even more bitter, and he probably wouldn't want him.

"Okay, then what do you think about the salary? For example, it's too little." Yunli immediately asked another question.

Peanut shook his head again and again, "It's a lot, a lot, Boss Liu has already given enough, it's even high in the town!"

"Okay, okay, my question is over, do you have anything else to add?" Yunli looked at him with a pen in her hand.

Peanut actually thinks that he should not be selected, but he really wants to win this opportunity, "Brother Xiaoli, I really can endure hardships, and I really want to get this job, even if the wages are less! I hope you will give me a chance! "

Yunli wrote down his words on the paper, "I see, you go to the side and wait."

Peanut had no choice but to wait for the result with apprehension. Yunli talked with Brother Yu for a while, and handed Peanut's interview record to Brother Yu, who wrote something below and put it away.

"next."
