The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"By the way, did the county government issue a notice today?"

"Miss, are you referring to the announcement for hiring blacksmiths and carpenters?"

"Yes, that's it. I don't know if my father will forget it." Gu Yin replied.

"How could Lord Gu forget about the young lady's matter? He sent someone to post the notice on the city gate early this morning."

Captain Ding heard this and hurriedly replied. If you ask who is the most popular person in front of Lord Gu now, the whole county government knows that it must be the county magistrate's daughter. After all, he has never heard of anyone who can create so many practical things in a short period of time. With such ability, if the emperor knows about it, he will definitely pay more attention to it.

"Pearl, do you think I should go and check on the recruitment of workers?"

"Of course. With you here, we can definitely choose the right craftsman."

Pearl flattered on the surface, but in fact she rolled her eyes in her heart. The young lady just wanted to join in the fun, so she could just go, no one would stop her.

After the announcement was made at the city gate, people gathered in three layers inside and outside the city gate. A table was placed at the innermost part, with two yamen runners standing beside it.

"Sir, what does this notice say?" someone asked.

"Our county government is recruiting people. We need sixteen carpenters and six blacksmiths. If anyone of you knows how to do it, you can sign up here." The yamen runner explained.

"How much is this salary?"

"Fifteen cents a day."

"Boom~" The onlookers started talking about it. Fifteen cents, this price is not small.

"I'll sign up, I'll sign up." While others were still discussing, someone had already signed up.

Seeing that some people had registered first, others were afraid that they would not be able to get a spot, so they also rushed forward. For a moment, the crowd surged and squeezed forward frantically.

"Stop pushing, stop pushing, everyone move back."

Seeing the crowd pushing forward, the two yamen runners were obviously not prepared and could only try their best to maintain order.

Gu Yin was stunned in the teahouse. Do people these days know how to do carpentry? She thought about it and asked:

"Do they...all know carpentry?"

"Uh... maybe he only knows some simple things, like driving a pile and installing a hoe handle?" Pearl was seeing this kind of scene for the first time and said uncertainly.

Gu Yin covered her face. She had begun to doubt whether her waterwheel could be successfully made...

But the situation didn't seem that bad. The taller of the two yamen runners drew out the sword from his waist and shouted:

"Everyone, step back! Everyone, step back! Otherwise, don't blame the sword for being blind!"

As the dazzling knife came out, the people crowded in the front suddenly stopped and did not move forward. The crowd, which was still fanatical a moment ago, seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water on their heads and calmed down.

Seeing that people were no longer pushing forward, the tall yamen runner spoke loudly:

"Everyone, listen to me first. The county government is recruiting professional carpenters this time. Not only must they be able to measure and cut, but they must also be proficient in using bow saws, shovels, and chisels. Everyone, consider your own abilities first. If you sign up recklessly and find out you don't know how to do it, you will be responsible for the consequences."

After hearing the words of the yamen runners, those who didn't know how to do it or were half-hearted didn't dare to step forward to join in the fun. Some people left directly, while some stayed to watch the fun.

Perhaps because they were frightened by the words of the yamen runner before, no one came forward to sign up for a while.

The tall yamen runner frowned and whispered to the short one with a guilty look on his face:

"Is this... something I messed up?"

If I fail to recruit anyone to go back, I will be punished. But even if it is not serious, if I recruit a group of half-hearted people to go back, it will ruin Mr. Gu's business.

The short yamen runner was also worried, but he still comforted her:

"It's okay, just wait."

However, after a long while, no one came forward. Just as Gu Yin was thinking about whether to find a way, a man with a cane came to the table:

"I regestrated."

The two yamen runners were delighted that someone finally signed up. However, when they looked closely, they found that it was a man with a broken leg. They were immediately in a dilemma. If they rejected the man directly, they would not know whether they could escape the punishment if they accepted him.

The man might have known the difference between himself and ordinary people. He thought it would be hard to convince others if he didn't show some ability to get the job, so he took something out of his pocket and handed it to the two yamen runners.

The tall yamen runner took it and gave it a square piece of wood... He looked at his companion blankly, and seeing that the other party was also confused, he looked at the newcomer.

The people watching nearby also saw it, burst into laughter, and mocked:

"That's it? A piece of wood, who can't do it?"

"That's right, you dare to sign up with this skill."

"You're trying to fool the county government with a piece of wood. Just prepare to be beaten! Hahaha..."

The man seemed not to hear their ridicule. He took back the wooden block with a calm expression. No one knew how he did it, but he disassembled the wooden block into a pile of parts in just a few seconds.

Everyone was stunned. The piece of wood that didn't show any cracks just now was actually made up of so many pieces of wood?

However, before they could come to their senses, they saw the man quickly assemble the wooden blocks together, and it looked like a puppy, well-behaved and cute.

"Boom~" The crowd exploded again, and the people who had mocked before were speechless.

The clowns are actually themselves?

"Luban Lock!" Gu Yin exclaimed, Gu Shu actually had this skill. Yes, the person who came was Gu Shu, but I wondered if he could make a simple crutch if he knew such a high-level skill as Luban Lock?

"Miss, do you recognize that thing?" Pearl asked in confusion. She had never seen such amazing woodworking skills.

Gu Yin nodded and said casually, "It's my honor to meet you."

The result is obvious when Gu Shu shows off his craftsmanship. If they don't want such a talent, what kind of person do they want to recruit? Although he is missing a leg, most carpentry jobs can be done by sitting. Compared with the craftsmanship of turning decay into magic, it is simply not worth mentioning.

With someone taking the lead, other people came forward to sign up one after another. Although their skills were not as good as Gu Shu's, they were all pretty good.

Seeing that there was no need to worry about recruiting, Gu Yin was planning to leave.

I moved my gaze back from the window, but I didn't expect to see a familiar face at the table opposite. That unique handsome face would be unforgettable to anyone who has seen it.

When Gu Yin was about to pretend that he didn't see it, the person opposite seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and glanced over here, and their eyes suddenly met.

This was awkward. Just when Gu Yin hadn't decided whether to say hello, the person opposite nodded and said hello.

What a loser, Gu Yin complained about herself in her heart, wishing she could slap herself. But she smiled slightly as a response.

A woman in red at the table opposite Jun Lan saw that he seemed to be greeting someone, so she looked over curiously and saw a young boy whom she didn't recognize.

No, look again, it's a woman dressed as a man!

The woman in red suddenly became angry and stood up...
