Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 46 Recruiting to the Cui Mansion
It's my birthday today, all kinds of rolling around, asking for advice^_^
***
Guan Wen sighed, glanced at Li Xin and said, "My wife also said that my legs and feet are inconvenient, so it's not good to come here to do work."

Yan San smiled and said: "My brother and sister love you so much."

When Guan Wen said that, he immediately laughed, and Li Xin lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Brother Yan, you have been working in this town for many years. In your opinion, what are you doing now to earn money?" Guan Wen didn't take it seriously, "My little four is getting married, and my little five won't get married this year I will be an old girl, and I have to do these two important things before the New Year. This year's harvest is not bad, and there is not much left after paying the public grain rent. I can't... take out the old man's coffin no?"

Yan San thought for a while, patted his thigh and said, "I know that a big family is eager to recruit short-term workers, and they will only work for a month or so before paying the money." Yan San pointed to the west, "I know that the town's Cui Yuanwai? That kind-hearted man, who gives out porridge every year and festival, his house is not far from the market, and beyond that is the old streets and alleys of the town. Buying things from the farm and the town Very convenient, the location of the house is really good..."

As he said, scratching his head, "It's a bit far-fetched. Cui Yuanwai's family is going to sell their house. I heard that their son has made a fortune in the capital. Cui Yuanwai wants to move his family to the capital. Their old house is in another place. It is useless to leave the house idle, so it was sold. I am negotiating the price with the buyer recently. Because I am going to the capital, I can’t take too many people with me. Except for some who have signed a death contract, the rest are let go. At this moment, the Cui family I also felt that there was not enough manpower, so I wanted to recruit people back to help, and the agreement was [-] yuan a day, and I would get paid as many days as I worked, and I would be paid when I quit, and I would eat and sleep in the house.”

Guan Wen was a little tempted by what he said, so Li Xin kept his eyes open and asked, "What is the purpose of recruiting people for help? A hundred yuan a day is not too low..." If you do it for ten days, it's a lot of money. Half a tael of silver!For ten and a half taels of silver, food and housing are included, so there are probably many people rushing to go, right?

"I also heard people say that I have to go to Cui's house to ask for details." Yan San smiled and said: "Awen, you also know that I like to drink, sometimes I get drunk, and it is easy to miss things. I used to go to Cui's house I used to work part-time, but I almost ruined the job just because I had a good drink, and then I felt ashamed, and I didn’t dare to go to Cui’s house to ask for a job.”

This Yan San looks very big, but unexpectedly he is also shy.Li Xin smiled and said, "Third Brother, what are you afraid of? Could it be that the manager of the Cui family still knows you?"

"That's right?" Yan San shook his head and said, "From now on he will shake his head when he sees me, and I won't go in!"

Both Guan Wen and Li Xin laughed and chatted for a while. Guan Wen said goodbye to Yan San, saying that he would not delay him from going to work, and that he planned to visit Cui's house.

Yan San naturally didn't want to keep people chatting, "Remember to find me if you need anything in the future, I'm not here at the pier, I'm also looking for work around here, just ask anyone, nine out of ten will know."

How could he not use such a good connection?Li Xin nodded hurriedly, "Then thank you, Third Brother."

Yan San smiled and nodded, exchanged greetings with Guan Wen and waved away.

Guan Wen came close to Li Xin and said, "Yan Sanxing San, he has two elder brothers above him, both of whom are ruthless characters. Although he is better, it is better for us to deal less with this person."

Li Xin was slightly stunned, just now he thought he had a good connection, but now he was poured cold water - this connection is still a bit hot, but he can't accept it.

Nodding helplessly, Li Xin naturally knew that Yan San's background might bring disaster, so he agreed unambiguously, "Got it."

He hesitated for a while, "But the Cui family that Brother Yan mentioned, shall we go and have a look?"

"Go, if there is such a high salary, it would be good to take this job."

So the couple agreed to visit Cui's house.

The location of Cui's house does have a good geographical advantage. Not far to the east is the market. It is very convenient to eat some fresh food from the farm on the day of rushing to the market.Not far to the west is the business district of Huixian County, where there are all kinds of tea houses, restaurants, gold and silver jewelry shops, grocery and furniture stores, and it is very convenient to buy everything.

But there is also one downside, that is, the noise is a bit heavy at ordinary times, especially when rushing to the market.If you like quiet people, buying such a house is not very suitable.

Li Xin stood outside the gate of Cui's house. Guan Wen went up to inquire about the recruitment of Cui's family. A butler-like figure dressed in dark clothes and with a clear face happened to be next to him. Hearing Guan Wen's question, he first looked at his face in surprise, Then he smiled peacefully and said, "Little brother is coming to answer the call?"

"Yes, uncle, are you still recruiting?"

"Just one person is enough."

The butler swept Guan Wen's body up and down, then stretched out his hand to squeeze his arm, and patted his shoulder, "Little brother is quite strong."

"It means that I can work hard..." Guan Wen smiled, not hiding anything, "But some things happened to me before, I got a scar on my face, you can see that, and there is—" He pulled up a little Trousers, "My leg is also a little lame when I walk, but don't worry, it's fine to walk. I just don't know... Will a family like me hire you? Also, what kind of job is this?"

The butler admired Guan Wen's character of not hiding anything, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little brother, everything you said is fine."

As he spoke, he recruited a clever-looking young man to go to work and say hello, and said to Guan Wen, "I'll take you to see it right away."

Guan Wen hurriedly thanked him, and looked at Li Xin hesitantly and slightly worriedly.The housekeeper's eyes were sharp, and he understood from the way Mrs. Li Xin was dressed, and said cheerfully, "Are you a husband and wife who came out together to find a job?"

Before Guan Wen could deny it, Li Xin said, "The family is waiting to use the money, so there is nothing we can do about it. Please trouble uncle."

"No trouble, no trouble." The housekeeper greeted: "Little brother, ask your wife to go in and have a look. At that time, I didn't consider the problem of food for the workers. I also explained that I would post a recruitment notice to recruit a cook. I didn't expect that there would be no place to find if you broke through the iron shoes, and it would take no effort to get here." Then he asked Li Xin with a smile, "Young lady can do kitchen work, right?"

"Yes, don't worry, uncle, I will also work hard to improve the food."

Li Xin isn't bragging, it's a big pot of rice, she has helped others make it before, and her craftsmanship is higher than ordinary people's.

The butler was naturally happy to hear her say that, and while leading Guan Wen and his wife into the house, he said, "Little brother——"

"Uncle, just call me Ah Wen, Guan Wen."

"Okay, Ah Wen, you should also know that our Cui family is going to sell this house, and the buyer has also decided on it, but the buyer will pay for it, and let us make some changes before giving the house. It has to be built, and there are people who are good at making bricks and tiles, but there is a lack of people who move bricks and tiles, which is also a laborious job, and it needs people who can lift it with hands and shoulders."

While talking, he walked to the place where the Cui family's house was being broken, and the clever boy just now saw the housekeeper and immediately called out "Guard Cui".

Well, it seems that the housekeeper is a family-born son, following the owner's surname.

The masons didn't react much, but the others who were moving bricks and tiles all stopped, and two of them called Guan Wen's name all at once.

"Yo, I'm still an acquaintance, so it's easy to handle."

Cui Guanshi smiled and introduced to both parties, and said: "They are recruited by the ten or so people, and they started to work in the morning today. Like you, Ah Wen, I will pack up some things and rest here tonight. Go to work with them early tomorrow morning, it will be easier to get paid."

Guan Wen hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Li Xin.

"By the way, big sister, we'll discuss your salary separately, and I have to ask the woman in charge about your rest here."

Li Xin and Guan Wen glanced at each other, feeling a little comprehensible in their hearts, knowing that Guan Wen wanted to do this job very much, and then made up his mind and said: "Uncle Cui, you are too polite, then I will go back with my boss later. Pack up and come back again, don't you think so?"

Cui Guanshi naturally had no objection, ordered everyone to work, and led Guan Wen and Li Xin to discuss Li Xin's salary.

"In this way, generally speaking, the monthly bill for the kitchen lady in our mansion is [-] yuan, but this is the monthly bill calculated on the premise that food, drink, housing and clothing are all provided by the mansion. Big sister, what are you doing?" If you work part-time, the amount of money will naturally be higher. Do you think this is good? You will work here with your boss. When the work is over, you two will leave together. The wages will be calculated according to your boss. How much is your boss? How much is yours, do you think so?"

This is a very generous condition. Guan Wen worked so hard for a hundred dollars a day, and she only made three meals for one hundred dollars.

The conditions are so good, it's a bit of a thought.

Li Xin paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Cui, you see, I cook three meals a day, and the money is the same as that of my family. Will other people complain?"

Cui Guanshi was a little ashamed and said: "Of course, it's not appropriate for you to cook three meals for such a salary, so you have to help with the sanitation in the kitchen. In addition, I think, in your village Is there any food that is more pleasing to the little one? My lady has a naughty mouth, and recently she has lost her temper and doesn't eat much of the dishes cooked by the cook in the house. Son. To make her happy, even if the wages are increased, it will be no problem."
