In the afternoon, Zhou Dajiang put out the job posting, and within two quarters of an hour, over two hundred people showed up. It seemed like everyone in the village who had heard about it had arrived, and the temporary factory yard was completely packed with people looking for interviews.

Everyone heard that the sixteen people who had been hired earlier were earning over one or two taels of silver per month. Furthermore, they were protected from the wind and rain, and the products they processed were small. If they wanted to earn more, they worked harder; if they didn't, they earned less. Such good work was hard to find!

Zhou Dajiang did not participate in the interview this time because there were too many people, all of them were fellow villagers. What would happen if they all used his connections?

He only recommended Zhou Dong from Uncle Zhou Jiu's family to Xue Jin. Zhou Dong was dexterous and meticulous, and also had a quick mind. Zhou Dajiang was quite optimistic about him joining the factory.

Xue Jing did not participate either. How could a big boss like him participate in the interview of an ordinary worker? He was also waiting for the interview to end at Zhou's house.

The two of them were drinking tea and chatting casually in the study.

After the factory was hired, Zhou Dajiang gave him suggestions on how to run it, and they were all on point. Xue Jing also wanted Zhou Dajiang to give him some more advice on building the factory building.

He looked at the furnishings in the house. Although there weren't any high-end furniture, valuable paintings, or ornaments, it still had its own unique charm. He couldn't help but blurt out, "When I last came to Qingshan Town, your house hadn't even been built yet. It's only been a few months, and everyone's already moved in. And you've made this house look so warm and comfortable, especially this chair called 'sofa'. It's so soft, I don't even want to get up from it."

Zhou Dajiang thought he was just trying to praise his home's decorating style, so he said sheepishly, "When we were renovating our house, our factory was just starting out, and I didn't have time to take care of it. It was all my wife and mother-in-law who took care of it."

Zhou Dajiang thought to himself, you don't want to get up now? This is just the beginning. What you are sitting on is just an imitation 'sofa'. If it had sponge and was made into a modern chaise longue, you would probably fall asleep on it and not get up.

Since Xue Jing came to Zhou's house, he had only greeted Chen Xiuying when he came in the morning and when she brought in the dishes at noon. He didn't have any big impression of her. He just thought that the food Chen cooked was delicious, and he didn't expect that she was also very good at decorating the room.

I couldn't help but praise her, "My sister-in-law is so talented! Not only is she a good cook, but she also decorated this house beautifully!"

Seeing people praising his wife, Zhou Dajiang was very happy. Although he said a few humble words on behalf of his wife, he couldn't help but show off his natural arrogance. So he said to Xue Jing, "My wife has decorated the house, each room has a different style. We have a room at home. Don't go to the inn in town tonight. Stay at my house! Come on, I'll show you my nephew's room and the guest room."

It’s not appropriate to show my daughter’s room to outsiders, but it’s okay for my boy’s room. I can take this opportunity to be a bit Versailles.

Xue Jing originally wanted to take a detour and talk about building the house, but Zhou Dajiang unexpectedly diverted the topic to the decoration. Seeing his enthusiastic invitation, Xue Jing couldn't refuse directly, so he could only go with him to take a look.

The two first came to Ang'er's room, which was still decorated in a minimalist style, without any expensive decorations. The only two highlights were the light blue wallpaper and the nautical chart on the wall.

No, a closer look reveals meticulous attention to detail throughout the room. The bamboo next to the desk is engraved with dimensions, and next to it is a note from a child's height measurement in September. The little monkeys on the curtains are also unique, reflecting the decorator's ingenuity.

The decoration of the guest rooms is also good, clean, tidy, comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

But none of this was what Xue Jing wanted to know. Building a factory wouldn't be necessary. Seeing that beating around the bush wasn't going to work, he had no choice but to speak directly, "It's a really nice installation, very thoughtful! But I want to know how quickly you built this house. Did you hire a construction team, or did you get help from the villagers?"

Zhou Dajiang was about to give a proper Versailles performance when the other party suddenly changed the subject. He had no choice but to answer, "I found a construction team."

Then he realized that Xue Jing might have wanted to ask about the construction team from the beginning, but he had lost his way and forced them to come and see the house.

He quickly added, "This construction team is quite reliable. The leader is a relative of the village head. I also hired them to build my brother's house, and it's almost finished. I just don't know if they have other work in the future. If you want to ask, I can find someone to come to you. They're at the construction site next door."

Xue Jing was worried about this matter, so he quickly asked Zhou Dajiang to find someone over.

Wu Chunsheng was talking to Li about the details of raising the beam, and he stopped talking when he saw Zhou Dajiang coming over.

Zhou Dajiang quickly said, "Uncle Wu, the Dahe family home is now complete. Do you have any other work to do?"

Wu Chunsheng thought he was going to build another side room or something, so he replied, "No, it's getting cold. In ten days or half a month, the ground will be frozen and we won't be able to dig the soil. I plan to continue working in the spring of next year."

"What should we do? The big boss is here, and our processing plant needs to build a new factory building. I was thinking of getting you a job. Come on, let's talk while we walk."

It was only a few steps away. Zhou Dajiang simply told Xue Jing briefly that he wanted to build a new factory immediately, and then the two of them arrived.

After introducing the two, Xue Jing got straight to the point: "I heard from Dajiang that his house was also built by Master Wu. It just so happens that our factory also wants to build a factory building. I wonder if Master Wu would also take on such a job."

Wu Chunsheng replied, "Of course I'll take that. I'd like to know how large a project you're planning to build, and when do you plan to start? Will you be the ones procuring the materials, or will we be the sole contractor?"

Xue Jing didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Zhou Dajiang. Zhou Dajiang immediately stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. You two can chat slowly."

After saying that, he walked out of the living room. He thought for a moment and went to the greenhouse.

As soon as Zhou Dajiang entered the greenhouse, he saw that there were quite a few people here.

Chen Xiuying, her sister-in-law Zhang, along with Zhong Yin and Ye Wei, were leveling two plots of land. They planned to plant some cabbage and leeks. If they planted them now, they would be able to eat them by the New Year. They could have some cabbage soup and make dumplings with three fresh fillings. It was a wonderful thought!

Elsewhere, Master Chen and Lou Ji were also leading the children in leveling a small patch of ground. Lou Ji was mainly leveling while Master Chen was explaining the process to the children.

Zhou Dajiang did not go there first, but went to the saplings that had been transplanted before. He walked around and saw that although the leaves were a little wilted, they looked in good condition, so he felt relieved. The rest was for them to grow slowly.

After looking at the saplings, Zhou Dajiang was curious about what Master Chen and the others were doing, so he went over to find out.

Well, Master Chen divided a few small plots of land among the little kids, very small ones, and put a small sign on them.

All that was written on it were "The land of Tietou and Suotou", "The land of Hehua and Dabao and Erbao", "The land of Sisi and Anger", and "The land of Chennan and Chenbei".

When Master Chen saw Zhou Dajiang coming, he said with a smile, "The children's classes are too boring. It's cold now, and we can't run up the mountain every day. It's a good opportunity that you built a greenhouse. It would be great to give them a 'farming class' to combine work and rest!"

Master Chen didn't care whether Zhou Dajiang and the others agreed or not. He only drew a small area for the children. If they were not satisfied, they had to keep it to themselves. After all, he was taking care of the children for each family.

What did Sisi say? Oh, right, this is called learning through entertainment!
