Chapter 38 Hong Ah Jiu?Officer Hong Xi!

In less than two hours, that is, an hour, a group of ordinary people surrounded Xiao Peng's yard. The illiterate people were asking the literate people what the notice said.

"This is a notice to recruit house servants. It says that a man named Mr. Xiao, who is the owner of this house, has just bought this house and needs to recruit two servants to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the house. Recruit a cook to take care of the house's food, and the handyman has monthly...wow, I read that right! The monthly salary of the handyman is [-] taels, and the cook is [-] taels. That's great too!" The scholar who explained the notice to everyone was startled.

His words attracted the attention of a middle-aged man who happened to be passing by. The man was about 27 or [-] years old. He was handsome and handsome, but his face was expressionless and indifferent.

He was wearing a gray coarse cloth gown, with a brown cloth belt around his waist. There was a long object covered with a cloth bag stuck in his back waist. He didn't know what it was. In his right hand, he is holding a four or five-year-old child. The child is wearing a blue denim short that is a size too big. Although he looks sallow and thin, his eyes reveal that he is not a child. The perseverance one should have.

After the man heard the scholar's explanation, he subconsciously touched the skirt of his shirt, sighed slightly, and led the child towards the crowd.

"Boy Zhang, are you talking nonsense? You can earn five taels a month as a handyman? Even the grandpa's family in Dengfeng County doesn't have such a good treatment! The best treatment for servants in our town is the Lin Mansion. Yes, but there are only three taels of silver, who is Mr. Lin Fu Lin? He is also a well-known wealthy gentry in our town, who is this Mr. Xiao? He can offer such a high salary!" Hearing what the scholar said , although many people were moved, but some people expressed doubts.

"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he can really pay five taels of silver in a month, we will sell him the 100 catties. Since this Mr. Xiao dared to make an announcement, he must be a person with a clear conscience. No matter what, it’s always right to ask first.” A young man who looked like he was tall and thick, who looked like he had arms and strength, said loudly.

"That's right, what Tie Zhu said is right, let's go and ask together, it will be clear, and we can also take a look at what kind of person this Young Master Xiao is."

"It makes sense!"

"Then let's go in together!"

At that moment, a group of people flocked to the gate together. The man with the child thought about it and followed behind the crowd.

As soon as a group of people entered the front yard, they saw an unrestrained and personable young man in white sitting leisurely on a stone table drinking alone.

Seeing so many people entering the door together, Xiao Peng put down his wine glass, stood up and saluted the crowd, and said softly: "I have seen you uncles and brothers, I'm Xiao Peng, are you here for the announcement?"

The scholar who was explaining the notice to everyone took a step forward and said: "Young Master's words are true. We all came here for the recruitment of the notice. I don't know if what you wrote on the notice is true?"

Xiao Peng smiled slightly, took off the folding fan from his back waist, and opened it with a "shua", he found that he liked this way of pretending a little, "I really take it seriously, and I believe that if you want a horse to run, you have to Let the horses graze first, so all the people who are hired by me will get their wages first and then work." He took out two ingots of five taels and one ingot of ten taels of silver from the money bag and put them on the table.

"However, the humble house is only this big, and we don't need so many people, so I only hire three people, one is responsible for the daily life of the family, and the other two do some cleaning and miscellaneous work. Please rest assured, when you come to the humble house to work, I will definitely meet you." Treat me like family. After all, I’m the only one in this family right now, so I’m really lonely.”

Listening to Xiao Peng's words, and looking at the ingots of silver on the stone table, everyone's breathing became short of breath, even the Zhang family boy who had studied was a little uneasy, "I don't know what are the conditions for the young master's recruitment?"

Xiao Peng pondered slightly, walked back and forth a few steps with his folding fan, and said, "This... Actually, there are no conditions. The first one is of course a down-to-earth brother. If you plan to come here to fool around with wages, please go ahead! Second... Well, you need to know more or less points! Usually I don’t care much about purchasing expenses. If I don’t even know how to count, how can I trust him with the money! Oh, this is only for the role of cook, The last point, and the most important point..."

Xiao Peng glanced at the slightly nervous crowd with a serious expression, and it was this glance that made him find the handsome man with a child in the crowd, his eyes flashed undetectably, and finally he smiled and said: : "The last and most important one is...you can't look too ugly, at least you should have good facial features! After all, you have to get along day and night in the future. If you look pleasing to the eye, you will feel better! Of course, everyone present here is qualified. Yes, hehe."

"coax"

Everyone laughed loudly, even the man who had been sullen and looked like a stranger should not enter had a smile on his lips.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao really knows how to joke."

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be so humorous!"

"Haha, Mr. Xiao, I have a niece who is not only handsome, but also cooks well. It can be said that she can go to the hall and go to the kitchen! Do you want to meet Mr. Xiao?" These were the words of a middle-aged uncle.

Xiao Peng sweated profusely and said with a hasty and embarrassed smile: "This uncle is just joking. I'm still a bachelor, and he's not a young master from an official family. What's the matter with recruiting a maid? It's not right, it's not right .”

"Hey, everyone sees that Mr. Xiao is shy, hahaha." The middle-aged uncle actually laughed when he saw Xiao Peng's reaction, but Xiao Peng's reaction made everyone feel that Mr. Xiao is a real gentleman. The look in his eyes couldn't help but be a little more kind.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you afraid of? The girl from Brother Li's family is really handsome, well-behaved and sensible. If the young master likes you, just marry her back home. Speaking of which, the old Li family is the one who has won the favor!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more vigorously, Xiao Peng couldn't help being overwhelmed. He coughed hurriedly and said, "Everyone, everyone, I'm still young, and I don't want to think about life-long affairs at the moment. This Taiping Town has taken root, let’s talk about other things later! What do you guys think?”

"Makes sense..."

"Young Master is right. We are all fellow villagers from all over the world, and everyone knows the basics. You can choose us, Young Master. Whoever you choose is who you choose, and no one has any objections."

"Yes, son, you can choose."

Seeing everyone saying that, Xiao Peng stopped being polite, glanced at him, and walked up to the big man who suggested that everyone come in to ask questions, and clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what the name of this big brother is?"

Although the big man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was an honest man, and when he saw Xiao Peng asking himself the first question, he immediately regained his spirits and said, "My name is Zhang Tiezhu, Mr. Xiao wants to hire me?"

"Is that brother Zhang willing to help me?"

"Haha, of course I want to. I, Zhang Tiezhu, have no other skills, but my arm strength is not bad. I can't cook. If you have any rough and heavy work, please leave it to me." Zhang Tiezhu said happily, slapping his chest Crackling.

Xiao Peng picked up an ingot of five taels of silver on the table and handed it to Zhang Tiezhu, saying: "Okay, then I will leave the work of chopping firewood and carrying water in the backyard to Brother Zhang. This is your salary for this month, please keep it."

Zhang Tiezhu took the money excitedly, and bowed again and again: "Thank you, young master, thank you very much, young master."

The others looked at Zhang Tiezhu enviously, but there was nothing they could do. Mr. Xiao must have taken a liking to that kid's strength. Why would he let himself be bigger than others?
Immediately, Xiao Peng walked up to the handsome man, clasped his hands again and asked, "What is the name of this elder brother? What position is he applying for?"

"Under Hong Ajiu, my cooking skills are not bad." The man who called himself Hong Ajiu bowed back with cupped fists and said flatly.
