Ranch Story: Start Over

Zhuoka replied:

"Yes, I have six brothers and sisters. They live by the Shennv Lake."

"Do you have any idea? Come to my ranch and work for me. I will ask Mayor Thomas to issue you a resident status in Mineral Town so that you can move in legally."

Zhuokak didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking quietly. Feng Ling turned his head and took a look, and saw that the other person was lowering his head.

After a long while, Zhuokak finally spoke:

"I'm afraid it's not possible for now, but Feng Ling, can I give it a try? It just so happens that we don't have any source of income, and I would like to work for you to earn a small amount of money."

Feng Ling became alert upon hearing Zhuokak's words. Feng Ling had never expected that the seven of them would come at the same time. Now, he just had to start with Zhuokak and slowly pry open their psychological defenses.

"Sure, that's no problem at all, Zhuoka. I'm very happy that you can come. Do you have any idea about the salary?"

"When I worked for them before, they offered me 5000 yuan a week, plus a 50kg bag of wheat flour. I don't know how prices have changed over the years."

5000! This is too outrageous. Although these little guys are not that strong, they can't be treated as human beings. After hearing this news, Feng Ling was very dissatisfied with their actions. But in order to understand the scope of work ability, Feng Ling still had to confirm it.

"Zhuoka, what did your previous jobs involve?"

"Watering, sowing, taking care of animals, such as collecting eggs, cow and sheep milk, etc. Oh, I forgot to mention that we goblins have the ability to communicate with animals, so compared to other jobs, we are better at taking care of animals."

There is no extremely strenuous physical work, everything is within their capabilities. The work may seem simple and easy, but it may not be easy for the goblins if they do it too much, just like the original world rejects child labor.

Come to think of it, Zhuokak is not yet an adult, so his strength is indeed very weak. There is nothing he can do about it. The goblins are too weak in their childhood, and their only talent is speed. Their agility is very high, so they pay more attention to escaping and saving their lives when they are young.

And now, Feng Ling decided to take them in. Although his grandfather's glorious past was gone, by forming an employment relationship with them, he could live peacefully in the Mineral Town instead of having to live in the mountains like before and having to go without meals.

"Zhuo Kak, I decided to offer you a salary of 2000 per day, plus 100 kg of wheat flour per week. What do you think?"

Zhuokak listened to Feng Ling's employment application with surprise. Such a high price was too tempting, but the clever Zhuokak did not agree immediately. As the little guy who dealt with the most in the human world, every time he entered the human world, he would use his advantages to disguise himself as a child and trade with humans. Even so, he had suffered many times of being deceived and shortchanged. Therefore, Zhuokak thought about it and made a request.

"Feng Ling, I will work for you for a quarter, which will end this summer. If my experience is good, I will continue to stay. But if you want to catch me and force me to work for you, then forget it. My 50-year term is almost up. If I can't resist, you will get nothing!"

These words were filled with indignation at the unfair treatment Zhuokak had suffered over the years. Feng Ling turned around and touched Zhuokak's little blue hood.

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

Feng Ling continued to add:

"I forgot to tell you, Zhuoka, I just took over the ranch not long ago, and many things are still in the initial stage. You can do other things in your spare time while working for me. All work will focus on your health."

It turned out that he was a new rancher who had just started his business. Zhuokak nodded. Based on the care that Mr. Feng Qingyang had shown him, Zhuokak temporarily chose to believe what Feng Ling said.

……

Feng Ling and his crew rode quickly all the way and finally arrived at the doorstep at around eleven o'clock. At this time, everyone was busy with their own things, and two masters were still choosing the layout location by the bridge.

"Two masters, master chefs! Come up quickly!"

When the worker heard Feng Ling shouting, he hurriedly asked what happened.

"Come up quickly, the river upstream has been cleared a little, and all the floating objects and driftwood that were previously blocked have been washed down!"

After hearing Feng Ling's words, the two masters didn't think too much and rowed the boat to the shore. The boat they were riding was a small basin the size of a bathtub, which was easy to move and measure, and could be stored in the storage space at any time. If it was hit by a floating wood, it would definitely fall apart. The most important thing was that Feng Ling had said that the river would be more turbulent and turbulent after dredging.

Everyone gathered around Feng Ling after hearing his call. Lin saw Zhuokak behind Feng Ling and asked:

"Feng Ling, whose child is this little fellow?"

"Ah! Zhuoka, why is it you?"

"Sister Bobri, it's you!"

Feng Ling was a little surprised that Zhuo Kak and Pobli knew each other. Seeing Feng Ling looking at her curiously, Pobli helped Zhuo Kak stand on the ground and said:

"Because Zhuokaq rarely comes to Mineral Town, but occasionally comes to my ranch to help me with some work, so I am very familiar with him."

It turned out to be like this. Considering Zhuokak's ability to communicate with animals, this is easy to understand. The most suitable place for them to work in the town is among the large animal farmers.

Afraid that they would realize Zhuokak's difference only later, Feng Ling quickly explained to everyone in advance:

"Zhuokak is a goblin. Please don't be prejudiced against him. It was Zhuokak who cleared the blockage at the exit of the Goddess Lake today. I happened to meet him when I went to work near the Goddess Lake. There was an accident and I saved him. In return, Zhuokak will work for me at my ranch in the future."

Publi pulled Zhuokak over and asked as a reminder:

"Brother Feng, you won't exploit them like those people do, right? They are so pitiful."

"No, absolutely not. A real boss is always thinking about making money so that his subordinates can get rich together. It won't be good for me to exploit their small bodies. I have many ways to make money, and I won't step on their corpses."

Feng Ling said it in front of everyone in a simple and straightforward manner. Although no one knows what Feng Ling's current credibility is, but after making the statement in front of so many people, it is at least equivalent to a temporary guarantee.

"Brother Feng, can I come here more often in the future? Zhuo Kak is very good at raising chickens, ducks, and geese. I learned a lot of knowledge from him."

Feng Ling looked at Zhuokak in surprise. He didn't expect that this little guy was so powerful. Even Popli was inferior to him. It seemed that he really couldn't underestimate them.

"No problem, come whenever you want, the ranch welcomes you!"

"Great!"

Looking at Pobly shaking hands excitedly with Zhuokak, it is not known whether it was because Zhuokak had a legitimate identity to live in Mineral Town or for technical exchanges, but at least Feng Ling was determined to make Zhuokak like this place and stay.

However, since Zhuokak's breeding technology is so powerful, why didn't Li Ke hire him? Feng Ling frowned and looked at Pobuli.
