The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

After finding his relatives and learning the sad news of his mother-in-law's death, Cheng Laoer no longer had the heart to recruit workers. He wanted to go back with Old Man Wang and the others to see where they lived and bring some food with him.

"Zeyi, that place is a mess, there's nothing to see there, don't be distracted by us, just do the things at hand first, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Cheng Lao Er looked at the growing crowd and thought for a moment. He felt that what his father-in-law said made sense and he would go after he was done with his work.

"Okay, I'll come back later. I'm staying at Tongfu Inn now, and you can find me there."

After seeing off Old Man Wang and his companions, Old Man Cheng returned to his original seat and sped up the interview.

"Next person, name, age, and years of carpentry experience?"

"**, thirty-five years old, and has been a carpenter for twelve years."

"Passed, you can come to work tomorrow."

............

Cheng Lao Er is recruiting workers here in full swing, and Cheng Lao Da is also not idle.

Many people have been asking when the tea oil seeds will be harvested. They are waiting to sell the tea oil seeds and buy rice.

After being asked so many questions and fearing that everyone would think they were scammers, Boss Cheng had no choice but to take a box of copper coins he had exchanged from the money house and, along with a few brothers from the clan, set up a stall in a vacant lot next to the brick factory foundation.

"It's time to harvest tea oil seeds. It's time to harvest tea oil seeds. The price of shelled tea oil seeds is one cent per three catties, and the price of dried tea oil kernels is six cents per catty."

Many people had just carried tea oil seeds down from the mountains. When they heard the shouting at the entrance of the town, they happily carried their large and small bags over to have them weighed.

Some families have more labor force and pick a lot, picking more than 700 to 800 kilograms, which means they earn more than 200 coins a day.

Carrying the heavy copper coins, everyone had a big smile on their face.

There were also those who heard the news a little late and went there late. The tea oil seeds on the nearby mountains had all been picked by those in front, so they didn't pick much, only a hundred or so kilograms, which was exchanged for a few dozen cents, saving them money.

The children also followed them up the mountain. Their small stature also had an advantage, as they could see the fruits that the adults had missed picking in the low places. It was no problem for them to pick 10 to 20 kilograms of fruit a day, and they also earned a few cents.

In order not to discourage their enthusiasm, their parents did not confiscate their money on the spot. They waited until they fell asleep at night and then quietly took away the money hidden under their pillows. When they found out the next day, they looked disappointed and said that they did not keep the money well and that rats had stolen it.

The people who were working on the construction site nearby were so envious when they saw that they could earn hundreds of coins a day. Their eyes turned red and they suddenly felt that the jobs they had fought so hard for were not worth it anymore.

"Oh my god, there are tea oil seeds everywhere on the mountain. We can pick hundreds of kilograms in a day. This way we can make money much faster than we can."

"Yes, you can get rich by picking tea oil seeds. We only earn 15 cents a day here. I thought it was a great thing to be selected to work here. If I had known this would be like this, I would rather go to the mountains."

"......"

For a time, people's hearts were in turmoil, and many people couldn't even muster the enthusiasm to work, so the speed naturally slowed down.

At this time, a reasonable person stood up and said, "I wonder if you are stupid, is it possible that all the tea oil seeds can be picked?

You only see that they earn a few hundred coins a day, but you don't see that it takes more than a dozen people in the family to work hard all day to earn this little money. If it is divided equally among each person, it is less than fifteen coins.

Besides, our boss is kind and provides meals. Not to mention now, just take half a year ago, you could work for less than eleven or twelve cents, and you had to bring your own food.

People should learn to be content with what they have. Don't be greedy for more. Be careful not to lose more than you gain."

"That's right. If you feel that working here is unfair to you, you might as well leave as soon as possible. Maybe you can find some free money by going up the mountain now. If you don't want to do this job, there are many people trying their best to get in."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go. If you leave, there will be an empty position. I can go and ask the boss if I can let my brother come here to work as well."

Those who are indecisive are actually just jealous of others making money, feeling unbalanced, and saying a few more words out of an itchy mouth. But it is absolutely impossible to let them go.

Not to mention that the tea oil seeds on the mountain have been almost all picked. Even if there are still some to be picked, they will only be picked for a few days. After weighing the pros and cons, it is still better to work here. The pay is high, the working period is long, and most importantly, the food is provided and the food is not bad.

For example, today at noon, I had brown rice, pork ribs stewed with taro, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and braised pork with preserved vegetables.

It even ensures you are full.

They were really shocked. The food was better than what they had eaten during the Chinese New Year.

So, they all ate too much for lunch today.

Just for the food, there is no way they would leave. If they leave, it would be difficult for them to come back.

Thinking of this, they swept away their previous laziness and started working diligently. They had to perform well. They had just spoken loudly and they didn't know if the boss heard them.

Cheng Dafu had actually heard what they said just now, and thought he had to replace a new group of people, but he didn't expect them to solve the problem themselves.

However, he also took a few more glances at those who stood up to speak for them, and considered their abilities. If there was no problem, they could consider keeping them after they finished their work here.

For those who eat with the bowl in their hands and curse when they put it down, give them another chance. If they do it again next time, there is no need to keep them. If they stay, they will only be a disaster.

But he still had a smile on his face.

"Everyone, work hard. You can get paid in one hour. We have prepared dinner. Everyone can eat before going home."

Xie and her family were already preparing dinner. The main meal was brown rice porridge, two whole grain steamed buns per person, fried duck eggs with wild onions, cold wild vegetables, and half a salted duck egg per person.

Eating brown rice at noon is already eye-catching enough. At night, you don’t have to work, so drinking porridge is fine. Eating rice every meal is too eye-catching.

The workers thought that the employer was generous enough to provide them with a lunch, but they didn't expect that they would also have dinner.

Cheng Dafu's words were like a spark that instantly ignited their enthusiasm, causing them to work without sparing any effort and instead rush to do the work.

After all, the more you work, the more energy you consume, and the faster you get hungry, so you can eat more at night.

Old man Cheng was knocking stones on the side, full of admiration for his elder brother.

"Third brother, you don't have to come down tomorrow. Did you understand the drawings that Ze Li gave you? Make the thresher as soon as possible. We'll be able to harvest the rice in a few days."

Cheng Dafu saw that his younger brother was looking at him as if he were an old fox, and reminded him helplessly.

"I've been thinking about it and I have some idea. I was planning to try it tomorrow. If I wasn't worried that you guys couldn't handle it, do you think I would want to come down?"

"Tsk! I can't handle it, can you handle it?"

Old man Cheng blushed a little. Look, this is his elder brother, a cunning old fox who has had him under his control since he was a child.

"Some parts of the thresher need to be customized by a reliable blacksmith shop."
