Chapter 175 Recruitment
Chapter 176 Recruitment
Sheng Xi also knew that Luo Xing might not be able to leave for a while, but she couldn't control the divine doctor Luo at the moment, because more and more people were coming from outside, and quite a few of them were just here to watch the fun.

It was spring plowing at this time, and there was more and more work in the fields. Many people took the time to come out and take a look.They didn't really expect to earn this salary. What they thought more about was still waiting and watching. Aunt Fang and Dayong's wife alone could not dispel their doubts.

However, Sheng Xi’s recruitment is limited this time, only ten people.Therefore, when the waiting people suddenly learned of this number, those who had been hesitant at first became determined and rushed to win the job.

Some people even started to get aggressive.

"Hey, her aunt, didn't you say you couldn't come yesterday? Didn't you say you were afraid of being implicated, so you wouldn't come even to death?"

"Ouch, you must have misunderstood. When did I ever say such a thing? It's you. I remember you told me that you looked down on the few copper coins Sheng Xi gave you and that you thought Sheng Xi was a fool before. Are you worried that she can’t give you the money and you’re calling her a liar?”

"When did I say that? Don't be so mean!" The man glared at the speaker, rolled his eyes and said, "How could I say that? Not to mention Aunt Fang, Dayong's wife is the village chief's daughter-in-law. , she can’t lie, can she? I asked her, and she said that wages are paid on the tenth day of every month, and she has already been paid once!”

Someone nearby heard his eyes widened and asked, "Hey, how much did she make?"

The man replied: "How do I know this? I didn't ask this. But she said, the wages will not be less, you do the math!"

"I heard it's twenty cents a day? If that's the case, then in a month it'll be...well, it'll be..."

"If we don't rest, it will be six hundred coins!" Someone calculated.

"Six hundred cents! Oh my God, this is only one month! If it catches up to a year, how much will it cost? The men in my family also earn twenty or thirty cents a day outside, but they don't have to work every day, even ten I can’t earn a penny for half a month, and more often than not I have to repay the money! It seems that I have been out for a long time, but what I can get back during the Chinese New Year is only one or two taels of silver. I want to save more It’s not difficult at all!”

"Who says it's not the case! It's the same for my family. We have land, but we can't do long-term work, so we can only find odd jobs nearby, so we can supplement the family income to some extent."

"It's the same even for long-term workers. The expenses outside are huge, and there isn't much left over every month."

Everyone was arguing, but somehow this statement went wrong.

The land in Xiaying Village is not too much, but it is not too little either. However, each family has a lot of food to eat, and the taxes are so high that it is really difficult to live by farming alone.

Because of this, there are many people working outside the village in Xiaying Village. Some families even sell their children to rich families as domestic slaves because they really cannot afford to eat.Anyway, at least that way you won't starve to death.

Some people couldn't help but think of the difficult times in the world, and their tone gradually became dejected: "This is not a life for human beings. The court controls the superiors and ignores the subordinates. It imposes all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies, which simply does not give us ordinary people a way to survive!"

"Who says it's not the case! There are already a lot of taxes, but just after the new year another one was added! Alas, if this continues, I'm afraid we'll all starve to death!"

"Shhhhhh! You are crazy. You are speaking ill of the court. You are not afraid of being caught!" someone reminded hurriedly.

The two men snorted respectively. They were not stupid, and they naturally knew not to make arbitrary comments about the court, but they felt aggrieved, and sometimes they just wanted to take it out.

"I know, I know, this is just me from the village! Stop talking, stop talking!"

Those who make irresponsible remarks to the court will be arrested and imprisoned!When the late emperor was still alive, many people were arrested because of this, and everyone still has lingering fears.

The topic was brought back, and they began to discuss the current recruitment of Sheng Xi family.

Sheng Xi plans to recruit ten people this time, but ten of them are long-term workers, and five more short-term workers will be recruited.The five long-term workers will stay in the workshop, and the other five will work with the five short-term workers to grow medicinal materials in the mountains and fields.Sheng Xi plans to rent or buy some land in the village in the next few days to grow some seasonal medicinal materials.In this way, some costs can also be reduced.

There were more than 30 people who signed up, and the test was simple, so naturally more people passed.But right now, Sheng Xi couldn't afford that many people, so he picked ten more people to stay.

As for the five part-time workers, she did not recruit them today, but said to those who were unsuccessful: "If the workshop recruits people again, I will definitely choose among you first. If there will be more part-time workers in a while, you can come back then." Of course, the wages of part-time workers are definitely less than those of long-term workers. Fifteen cents per day.”

People who were a little disappointed at first will still have opportunities in the future, and there will be more part-time jobs available.Although they earn less than long-term workers, if calculated, it is more than what they earn from digging food from the fields every day!
Aunt Fang's man Wu Changgeng was also among them this time, thanks to Aunt Fang's teaching in advance.In fact, Wu Changgeng originally thought that after this year was over, he would go out to find work as usual.

Their family doesn't have much land, and they have Aunt Fang, a few children and their daughter-in-law at home. Although it's a bit tiring, they can still get it done.

But Aunt Fang got a taste of the benefits from Sheng Xi, so she blocked the door to prevent him from leaving.For this reason, the couple had a big fight.

In the end, Wu Changgeng gave up. In his heart, he actually thought that he could stay, stay home, work in the fields after work was completed, and have someone to rely on for whatever he did at home. It was better than wandering outside.

This idea was firmly established the moment Aunt Fang got his wages back. Therefore, when Aunt Fang said she wanted to teach him how to make medicine, Wu Changgeng took the lesson extremely seriously.

But with Aunt Fang and Wu Dayong's daughter-in-law here, Sheng Xi saves a lot of effort in training and teaching people.

She took the time to tell Wu Dayong's wife and asked her to ask the village chief about which land in the village could be sold. She wanted to buy a piece of land to build a larger workshop.In addition, she also mentioned to her man that if she had time, she would like to demolish the old house, and by the way, he could also build the future workshop.

Wu Dayong's wife was very happy.Don't say she's free, even if she's not free, she still needs her man to come!The last time he built a house for Sheng Xi, Wu Dayong got a lot of money back as the foreman!

Now that Sheng Xi wants to hand over the workshop to him, wouldn't this make him more money?

After a busy afternoon, they finally got the job done. Sheng Xi directly sent Xiang Yuan to take care of the renovation work in the county store, while she helped make medicine at home. Although the pill-washing board was changed into a pill-making machine some time ago, the manual pill-making machine The pill machine always couldn't keep up with the electric machine. She just hoped to make more in the next few days in preparation for the opening.

Although the medicine brought back from Yuzhou this time can last for a few days, it is not much. Next, I have to go to Yuzhou to purchase more.

Sheng Xi told Sun Qiang and Yang Liu about going to Yuzhou, and planned to let them take over the purchase of goods first.

"Come back from Yuzhou, and then go outside to collect the medicine. When the inventory in the workshop is low, then go to Yuzhou to purchase. In this way, there will be no delays. What do you think of this arrangement?" Sheng Xi asked Sun Qiang and Yang Six paths.

The two naturally had no opinion.

Sun Qiang said: "Don't worry, Miss Sheng. My father took me to Yuzhou once when I was a child. Although the impression is not that deep, there is a mouth under my nose and the Pharmacy Dealers Association is so big. I will definitely know it if I ask!"

Sheng Xi nodded: "I can't go this time. It just happens to be in time for the opening, so you guys have to work hard. In addition, I will increase your wages by another [-]%."

"Ah, girl, you just gave us your wages..."

Sheng Xi waved his hand: "There are rewards for doing well. You are old employees of Ying'an Hall, so you still have these rewards." After a pause, Sheng Xi said again, "By the way, you went to Yuzhou and asked Yu President, see if there is anything he needs my help with."

Sheng Xi just asked casually, but he didn't expect that when Sun Qiang and the two came back from Yuzhou, they actually brought back a piece of news from Yu Hongxin.
