Chapter 8 Find someone by yourself

  Zhao Liya and Hu Ling exchanged a few words in a low voice before continuing to move forward.

  The two of them went first to the teahouse and then to the restaurant. After asking about it twice, they already knew what kind of people to hire, so naturally they would not go up to ask people when they saw them.

   You must know that some idlers who have been in the short-term labor industry for many years are very slippery, especially outsiders like Zhao Liya and the others, who are also the home of exiled criminals, and they are the targets of their bullying and oppression.

   When the time comes, if you don’t get a job and don’t say it, you can’t fire the person, or they will kill you.

  Typically, it is easier to ask God than to send God away.

  Under a wall, squatting or sitting seven or eight young and middle-aged men and women wearing indigo blue overcoats and indigo turbans. Zhao Liya looked at them and walked over with a bearded collar.

   "Are you looking for work?"

   Those people were taken aback for a moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, patted the dust and grass clippings on his body and nodded: "You guys, are you looking for someone to work for?"

   Several other young people also stood up quickly, asking questions in a hurry.

   "What kind of work are you going to do? How many days?"

   "Which village are you in?"

   "How much do you pay?"

  Zhao Liya smiled and explained the matter clearly in a few words: "We are going to build a house, do you know how?"

  Building a house is not as simple as laying bricks together, it is also a technical job.

  Several young people laughed, glanced at the middle-aged man and laughed and said: "That's a coincidence, Uncle Ruan Gui is building houses for people!"

   "Really? That's a coincidence! Hey, we are so lucky!" Zhao Liya laughed.

  The other party was very happy to hear her say that, and couldn't help but feel good about her.

  Uncle Ruan Gui was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and asked: "What kind of house does the master want to build? Brick house or earth ram? How many rooms are bright and how many are dark? Have the foundation been laid or not?"

  Zhao Liya was even more satisfied, and she praised with a smile: "Uncle Ruan Gui really got the point, it looks like he has rich experience!"

  She didn't talk to them, and she clarified the requirements of the house she was going to build in a few words: the main room has three rooms and two entrances, and there are side rooms on both sides. One side is used as a small warehouse for storage, and the other side is extended to the length of a room for the kitchen and dining room. There are two wing rooms in the east and west directions.

  Two sheds are built in the backyard by the way, which can store farm tools, build chicken coops and duck houses, stack some farm sundries, etc.

  The most important thing is that the yard wall must be built high.

  The place where they want to build a house is in Yan Village.

   "As for the wages, one person is thirty yuan a day, and the daily tea—"

   "What! Thirty words!"

"real or fake!"

   Zhao Liya was interrupted by exclamations from everyone before she finished speaking.

   It’s no wonder that everyone opened their eyes wide and looked suspicious. Zhao Liya has already found out that the normal price of labor in the market today is eighteen to twenty-five yuan a day, regardless of food.

  She spoke thirty words as soon as she came, which of course scared everyone.

   But it’s not over yet, Zhao Liya continued: "Take care of the daily tea and lunch. Lunch is fried noodles or steamed white rice. The dishes are meat and vegetables, and the rice is enough."

   "Google!"

   Someone swallowed.

  The eyes of the others all brightened, looking at Ruan Gui eagerly: "Uncle Ruan Gui! Uncle Ruan Gui!"

  It means let him agree quickly!

  In the labor market, no one fights alone, they are all small groups, so that everyone can take care of each other, and have more confidence and capital when bargaining with the owner.

  When there are small groups, there is naturally a leader foreman. The responsible Uncle Ruan Gui is the foreman of this group of people.

  Uncle Ruan Gui didn't agree immediately, and asked with a question mark on his forehead: "This—the boss, why?"

Zhao Liya smiled, and she felt more fond of them in her heart: "Uncle Ruan Gui, to tell you the truth, we have only just arrived here, and the house is simply unlivable. I just want to build the house quickly, so I can feel at ease. Of course, there are requirements for the price. I want you to work hard every day, finish the work early, and not be lazy. Whether this is lazy or not is up to me. Of course, I will not deliberately make things difficult for you. But if you really want to If you are lazy and slippery, I have the right to fire you immediately. If the construction is fast and good, the wages can be increased."

  Knowing that they are from Yancun, Uncle Ruan Gui thought about it and nodded to express his understanding.

  Yan Village, of course they know about it.

   Zhao Liya offered such a condition, and it is only natural to want to build the house as soon as possible.

   As for repudiation? They are not afraid of this. No matter how violent the people in Yan Village are, they still have criminal records. If they dare to violate the law and discipline again, they will suffer big losses if they sue the government.

Uncle Ruan Gui nodded: "Okay, we'll take over this job. I'll take a few people to your place to have a look later. Calculate how many days the construction period will take, and we will be able to work tomorrow. Don't worry, my boss, we will definitely work hard !"

"oh!"

"Very good!"

  The young people cheered with joy.

  Zhao Liya was also very happy, "Then it's settled!"

"Um."

  Zhao Liya and Hu Ling wanted to buy some things, so they discussed with Uncle Ruan Gui that they would meet outside the city gate and go to Yancun.

When Zhao Liya and Hu Ling left, they heard the group of people still discussing excitedly, and heard Uncle Ruan Gui telling the younger generation: "Keep your voice down, and don't tell others about the wages, don't yell, you know. "

  Zhao Liya hooked her lips and smiled, Uncle Ruan Gui is quite shrewd. Such a person is actually pretty good, honest when he should be honest, and shrewd when he should be shrewd.

  There are too many things missing at home. But Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't plan to buy everything.

  I just need to buy some daily necessities for now, and I will arrange it slowly after the house is built.

  Rice, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, stove, oil lamp, etc. are necessary, and I bought some cloth, clothes and bedding.

  They are short of vegetables now, so they bought several kinds of vegetable seeds, dried vegetables such as soybeans, peanuts, dried chilies, dried tofu, and dried fish. Fresh vegetables and eggs can be bought in the village.

   In addition, basic agricultural tools such as hoes, iron rakes, shovels, hatchets, kitchen knives, and sickles also need to be purchased.

   There are also large and small bamboo baskets for things, bamboo baskets, wooden basins and barrels for daily use

  Zhao Liya even searched for it and bought a pair of fishing nets that were not too big or too small. In addition to fishing nets, I also bought two fishing cages.

  There is a big river beside the village, which can be used for fishing to improve life.

  At first, she wanted to buy some chickens and ducks to raise, but then she thought about how messy and busy it was when building the house, and it was difficult to take care of it. Let’s wait until the house is built.

  Zhao Liya knew that her parents, Hu Ling and the others liked noodles more, so she and Hu Ling went looking for them, but unfortunately, there is no place that sells flour in this county!

  Because the locals don't eat it.

   The two had no choice but to give up.

   "In the future, let's ask someone to go to Fucheng to buy them. There will definitely be some in Fucheng."

   Sisters, please support the new book, please collect, monthly ticket, recommendation ticket, check-in, thank you!
