There is an old tree next to the village well, and there are several pillars placed under the tree all year round. Qin Yao just finds an empty place to sit down, picks up the homemade wooden workbook and pen, and starts interviewing one by one.

Liu Bai's three brothers all came, and there were still dozens of acres of land to be confiscated. Zhang said that even if they paid some day laborers to help with the harvesting, they could not let the three of them miss this opportunity.

Quarrying costs twelve coins, polishing them costs ten coins, including breakfast and lunch. Although it is not as good as the 400 coins that Qin Yao directly gave three people for grinding, one is stable in the long term and the other is only temporary. Eight days a day, that's not the same thing at all.

As for harvesting rice at home, all you need to do is hire a part-time worker to provide a lunch and pay six to eight cents. There is still a price difference in the middle, so you can definitely make a profit!

At first, Old Man Liu was not happy with all three of his sons going. He and Qiu were both anxious. Later, they agreed after hearing Zhang's calculations.

However, there are not many villagers who are as good at calculation as Zhang. Food is the most important thing for people, and the autumn harvest is the most important, so they can't bear to delay it.

There are also some people whose rice matures late, and it will not be until mid-to-late August when they have finished harvesting. They can only covet others to spare manpower to respond.

Some people also came over and asked Qin Yao if he wanted a part-time worker.

There are currently no long-term and substantial orders, and Qin Yao doesn't insist on saying anything. She just asks those who want to do odd jobs part-time to stand aside and wait to see if she can find enough permanent workers for more than three months.

The eldest grandson of the village chief's family also came. Among the black and thin villagers, the tall and strong man stood out.

Qin Yao: Name, age, and what kind of job are you applying for?

Liu Qi, seventeen, should be recruited as a stone quarryer.

As soon as these words came out, although the three brothers Liu and Bai felt that Qin Yao would not leave their family behind, they still felt nervous.

Qin Yao looked at Liu Qi calmly. Except for those who were born with superior genes, the number of people in the village who could be as strong as Liu Qi could be counted with one slap.

She nodded and asked some basic questions, whether she knew how to quarry and whether she had any experience.

Liu Qi shook his head. He had never quarried stones before, but he learned quickly and was very strong. On the spot, he even lifted the grain bags that the villagers had temporarily placed under the tree to dry in the sun. He lifted the bags with one hand and lifted them with his straight arms, which was very powerful.

Qin Yao emphasized on her notes: Zero experience, excellent physical strength.

Next one. She waved to those behind her to come forward.

The results were not revealed in person. After Qin Yao finished counting, he had to take it back to Carpenter Liu to check. After finalizing the number of people, he went door to door and notified them.

There were twenty-three people who applied for the job, all young men in the village. The oldest was thirty-eight years old and the youngest was fifteen.

When it was He's turn, knowing that no one was competing with her for the position of chef, a smile appeared on her face. She told Qin Yao on the spot about her ability to measure rice, and promised not to waste a grain of rice for her.

The villagers who were watching laughed when they heard this. Some said she was too smart, while others praised her for being really good at wielding a large spoon.

He and Zhang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are always invited to cook banquets in the village. He's cooking skills are recognized as excellent.

There was no additional opponent, so Qin Yao said on the spot: He Hua, come to my house after dinner in the evening, and let's count heads so we can buy groceries.

Ah? I'm done? He asked in surprise.

Qin Yao smiled helplessly, Yes, you will be the chef at our Liujiacun waterwheel factory from now on.

Hahaha, I'm just saying, if you don't choose me, who else can you choose? There is no one more powerful than me!

He was very happy, her self-confidence was very high, and she looked at everyone proudly.

Maybe she has her own filter, and Qin Yao thinks she's a bit cute.

Qin Yao signaled her eldest brother to pull her sister-in-law aside to block others.

Liu Bai smiled lightly, grabbed his wife, and called his brothers to go home first. Anyway, Qin Yao said, they were just here for a formality.

While there is still time, harvest a few more acres of land, save one day of short-time work, and save money.

Yun Niang walked nervously to Qin Yao. She was the last applicant.

Qiao Yun, twenty-two years old, is applying for a job as a carpenter. She imitated the big guy's words before and told her personal information.

Qin Yao recorded it and then asked her: What do you know?

When Yun Niang mentioned what she was good at, she didn't panic and said one by one: Spraying ink, planing boards, painting, and mortise and tenon assembly, all of them are fine.

Qin Yao looked at her in surprise, Have you had any relevant experience?

Yun Niang nodded fiercely, Yes, I used to help my father make tables, chairs and benches at home.

So, Qin Yao added after her personal information: She has sufficient experience and is a carpenter.

For anything related to writing and drawing, I can recognize a few words and a few numbers.

Yun Niang didn't mean to read it, but she just happened to lower her head and saw the word carpenter written by Qin Yao on the notebook, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Qin Yao stood up and put away the pen and paper, Is there anyone else you want to apply for? If not, I'll stop here today. Everyone, please go home and wait for the news. I'll go back and discuss with Carpenter Liu and inform everyone.

There was still life in the fields, and everyone dispersed after hearing this.

Qin Yao turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village. After walking less than two hundred meters, she arrived at the barren grassland, which was less than two minutes away from the entrance of the village.

Seeing Qin Yao, Carpenter Liu asked the two workers to continue working, put down the saw in their hands and walked to the side of the road, How many people have been recruited?

He just saw a lot of people in the village.

Qin Yao pointed to the grass on the roadside, and the two sat down on the spot, using the small tree branches extending above their heads to block the sun.

Qin Yao opened the book and said: There are twenty-three people in total who have applied. Minus the two carpenters like you, there are sixteen places left. Among them, the cook has been confirmed to be my sister-in-law He Hua.

Three of the remaining quarrymen, Liu Bai, Liu Zhong, and the eldest grandson of the village chief, Liu Qi, have been identified.

Liu Fei is looking for a polisher, and he is considered one. I also recommend a skilled carpenter to you. This is Qiao Yun, Yun Niang of Liu Merchant's family.

Carpenter Liu in front had known that there was no accident, and the three brothers Liu Bai were experienced, and they had to rely on them to guide the people behind.

But what happened to this Yun Niang?

We are a bunch of men, wouldn't it be bad if you let Yun Niang come?

Qin Yao directly handed the recruitment information booklet to him, Then look at how many of these are eye-catching!

Carpenter Liu smiled helplessly, I'm illiterate, so I can't tell anything if you show me.

Then I'll read it to you. Qin Yao read all the information on the book about carpenters being recruited.

Carpenter Liu's brows are getting tighter and tighter. Why are all of these people so confident? Why should they apply for a job as a carpenter even if they don't know anything?

Because the salary is high, everyone wants to try their luck. If they are selected, there are not two strong opponents.

Hearing Qin Yao read again, She has enough experience and is a carpenter, Liu Carpenter pointed excitedly, Isn't there a good one? It's him!

This is Yun Niang. Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, feeling very proud.
