Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Chapter 132: Injured or disabled, I can afford it

Xia Shengsheng had lunch with Sicheng at noon, and then tested Sicheng on some questions he had learned.

He looked at the sun outside and waited until the agreed time came before going out to open the door.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered outside, and there were much more people than in the morning.

That’s right. Anyone who has relatives in the nearby villages should have been notified.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t need so many, so she can only admit the best candidates.

"Come out, come out!"

"Boss Xia, we are here to apply for a job."

"Boss Xia, please hire me. I heard that you want to start a food business, and I am the best at cooking."

"Mr. Xia..."

There was a constant stream of chaotic noises.

There were also some people in the village who had nothing to do, so they came to watch the fun.

Many people also thanked Xia Shengsheng for the piece of pastry she had in the morning.

Xia Shengsheng would usually nod in response, but would stop everyone from talking before they could finish.

"Stop for a moment, stop for a moment..."

When everyone heard Xia Shengsheng speak, they all stopped talking and the scene instantly became much quieter.

"I think the person who notified everyone has already told everyone that I will only recruit 25 to people this time, with a salary of cents per day and a lunch at noon.

I get one day of paid leave every month. If the work is not done well, I can terminate the employment relationship at any time, but if the work is done well, I will also get corresponding rewards.

Everyone who works here must sign a contract. Firstly, it is a constraint on you, and secondly, it is a constraint on me as the employer.

If anyone violates the terms of the contract, he will be reported to the authorities and sent to jail. You must think it over carefully. If you are sure you want to work for me, then line up now.

I will choose according to your abilities..."

While listening to Xia Shengsheng speaking, some people were still talking in the audience.

Xia Shengsheng memorized their appearances one by one.

When Xia Shengsheng finished speaking and asked everyone to line up, everyone was confused at first.

Later, a few people figured it out in advance and called their close friends or acquaintances from the same village to line up together.

Among the first people to figure it out were Lanhua's second sister-in-law Cui Meili, and the girl from Chenjia Village, whom Ma was not very familiar with.

Xia Shengsheng was still very satisfied with the two of them.

After everyone lined up, Sicheng helped bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the table in the outer courtyard.

Xia Shengsheng asked everyone to come forward one by one in order and ask questions one by one.

"What's your name? Which village are you from? What do you usually do at home?"

"Go back to the boss, my name is..."

After questioning, Xia Shengsheng would also look at their hands, especially to see if there was any dirt on their nails.

If you are in the food business, you must be a clean person, otherwise who would eat the food you make?

If you think it's appropriate, write their names on the paper.

After several rounds, everyone figured out some tricks.

Some people were questioned but did not see Xia Shengsheng writing anything on paper.

He would even specifically plead for the chance to work for Xia Shengsheng.

"I'll consider it. If I don't get the job this time, there might be another chance in the future. You go ahead!

I will announce the names of the applicants to everyone in a moment, so don’t delay the people behind you. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to go back after dark.”

After hearing what Xia Shengsheng said, the people behind also urged the people in front who were reluctant to leave.

"Now that you've finished talking, get out of the way. Don't you see there are so many people waiting behind you?"

"Yes, don't waste time."

The person being talked about felt a little embarrassed and quickly made way to let the next person come forward.

After an afternoon of hard work, Xia Shengsheng selected a total of 45 people, which, together with the ten people who had been working before, was enough.

"The names I'll call out will be here to start work early tomorrow morning. The contract will be signed when you start work tomorrow. I can read the specific terms to you, and you can also go home and discuss with your family whether to come tomorrow."

Seeing that everyone responded one after another, Xia Shengsheng then read out the names of those who stayed.

"Cui Meili, Chen Yue, Liu Jinhua..."

Those who heard their names being called out were very excited and shared their joy with those around them.

But those who listened to the end did not hear their names being called out.

I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Some others suddenly walked out of the crowd as if looking for trouble.

He said angrily. "Why didn't you tell me earlier whether you needed it or not? You made us wait for a whole day in vain.

I don’t know how much work I can get done in a day! If I don’t do anything, you will lose money.”

Xia Shengsheng hadn't realized that among these people, there were people with such bad character.

After this person finished speaking, Xia Shengsheng did not speak, but continued to look at everyone to see if there were any other people looking for trouble like this person.

As expected, some people saw Xia Shengsheng remained silent and thought that Xia Shengsheng was easy to bully.

Squeezed out from the crowd.

Those standing behind the person who started the trouble first responded by drinking.

"We just wasted a day's work. We're so busy now! We've been standing outside in the hot sun for such a long time.

It's almost evening now and you're telling me that you don't need us. If you don't compensate us for our wages, we won't leave."

"Yes! If you don't compensate us, we won't leave."

Cui Meili and Chen Yue ignored the people around them who tried to stop them, and stood up for Xia Shengsheng as if they were afraid that Xia Shengsheng would be bullied.

"How can you be so shameless? You still want wages. Have you done the work? You want wages.

Who put a knife to your neck and asked you to come?

It's because you think it's profitable that you come here early to wait.

With people like you, don’t even think that Boss Xia won’t employ you.

Even if you are placed in any household in Manfu City, no one would dare to employ you as a worker."

"That's right, stop embarrassing yourself here. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? How dare you stand in someone else's yard and act like a bully!"

For a while, the two sides started arguing.

Xia Shengsheng shouted loudly, stopping the quarreling people.

"Besides them, who else wants compensation for lost wages? Is there anyone else dissatisfied with my decision today?"

Xia Shengsheng narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone grimly, making everyone feel guilty for a moment.

The few people who had just caused trouble were also frightened for a moment.

Xia Shengsheng spoke only after seeing that no one dared to step forward.

"You dare to make trouble here, Xia Shengsheng? You probably don't know what happened to the last person who made trouble in my house.

I'm giving you one chance, get out of my yard now, or don't blame me for being rude to you.

I can afford to compensate for any injuries or disabilities.

It depends on whether you can bear this sin. "

After all, they were rural women. If Xia Shengsheng cursed at them, they might have the courage to continue the argument.

But now Xia Shengsheng's threatening tone made them feel frightened.

Injured or disabled?

This is not the result they wanted.

If they are really injured or disabled, how will they live in the future?

They looked at each other, and seeing that no one was going to step forward, they looked at Xia Shengsheng, then all lowered their heads and walked away dejectedly.
