"One meal a day, if you live far away in Linhai, you have to pay for accommodation, and you have to pay for breakfast and dinner with your own money. As for wages, different jobs have different wages. It depends on what you do. Anyway, the range is about five dollars a day to fifty or five hundred dollars."

"Everyone line up, come one by one, if anyone is in a hurry to squeeze, no matter how capable I am, I won't take it."

"Okay, come first."

Soon a few people gave way, and a man who looked quite simple came over.

The steward asked a few questions, then nodded, and told him to wait aside, after a few more men came over, someone led them to see Liu Yaoqing.

The last time I recruited workers in Dan County, the stewards went to the village to recruit people in person. In this way, many people refused to come at the beginning, only some courageous and poor families were willing to fight.But this time Linhai is different, everyone knows that it is not easy to get in, basically every household has come, some whole families have come, both young and old.

The outside stewards screened them out, and then sent them to Liu Yaoqing, and the ones left in the end were officially working in Linhai.

Busy all day, no one came until it was dark.

Liu Yaoqing stretched her waist, looked at the form Zhezi helped to record and said, "The number of people is still not enough, continue to recruit. Shipbuilding is no different than others, we must be more careful."

All the people from the nearby villages came. Except for those who were left behind, the rest left, and then people from villages farther away also came, and some even came from farther away, but the number was not that many.

In this way, Liu Yaoqing interviewed every day for five full days.

People who come again will not be able to enter Linhai, and can only wait for the next opportunity.

After working for five days in a row, Liu Yaoqing finally got some free time and went to play with the children. By the way, she asked Li Shi, "But are you all ready?"

"Well, I'm ready, and I'll wait for you to be free." Li Shi said, "This time, Guo Ge'er's parents didn't come. I plan to ask them to come to the mountain for dinner after I go back."

"That's right." Liu Yaoqing nodded.

On this day, Mrs. Li set up a feast by herself. Liu Yaoqing took out Taoer Niang and Shenxian Niang. There was a large basket of popcorn and peanut candy in the dining hall. Anyone who came to eat near the sea would get a free portion. .

Guo Geer wore the uniform clothes distributed by Linhai, and went to the dinner table with Xing Ge.

Li looked relieved and kept smiling.

Bai Niangxian looked at it in a daze, and asked Liu Yaoqing in a low voice, "Father, is the second uncle married?"

"It's not married, it's an engagement, and when you get married in the future, you will have two second uncles." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "Brother Xian, take this to your second uncle."

With the gift prepared long ago, Liu Yaoqing asked Bai Niangxian to send it over.

After eating a meal, it is considered a formal engagement. In the future, Brother Xing and Brother Guo will have no defenses, they can get closer, and others will not say anything.

Li Shi was going back the next day, she was worried about her family.

Brother Xuan took his little man to talk to Liu Shuihe, "I'll be back right after I go back, don't worry. There's so much work here, I don't worry if I don't hurry up and come back."

"Tell our mother to buy a few sheep to feed and feed the child milk." Liu Shuihe said.

"I know." Brother Xuan nodded.

Seeing that Liu Yaoqing's child is so clever, brother Xuan also thinks that drinking goat milk is better, and plans to make the child drink goat milk in the future and not stop him.

Brother Xing went back with Brother Guo, met Guo's parents, had a meal together, and came back when the time came.Brother Hui stayed in Linhai, helping Liu Yaoqing to watch a lot of work, watching all directions, listening to all directions, very capable.

Some of the wood brought in from outside are directly split into planks, some are soaked in water, and some are placed in a cool place.

The men were full of food, worked hard, and yelled.

"Use a boat to bring some potato chips and other things from Dan County." Liu Yaoqing said, "These things are very common, let everyone try them, and many people haven't eaten them yet."

"I heard that there is a new taste coming out of it." Brother Zhezi said.

"Capability." Liu Yaoqing said sincerely, "It should be discussed by the stewards, these people are really not lazy at all."

Potatoes are common and unusual things. Even in such a remote place as Linhai Village, potatoes are grown, and every household has a lot of them. No matter how you eat them, they can fill your stomach.

However, many people have only heard of the various foods made from potatoes, and have never seen them, even the simplest popcorn Ling Geer, but as long as they see them once, they can make them by themselves when they go home come out.

The more people who know Potato Chips, the better the business in Dan County.

Although this is just the most common food, but there are many flavors and varieties, there is always something you like.

In the beginning, the people who built houses in Linhai got their wages, and they all went to the ordinary-looking wooden houses in Linhai.

Liu Yaoqing is free today, and came to the wooden house with Brother Zhezi.

Seeing Brother Ling coming with a lot of money, he smiled and said, "Brother Ling is here."

"En." Brother Ling nodded vigorously, and took out two big coins from his pocket, "Brother Qing, I want to buy popcorn and potato chips."

"Popcorn can be sweet or not, and potato chips can be salty, sweet, or numbing. Recently, a strawberry flavor has just come out in Dan County. Let me give you a taste." Liu Yaoqing said , took out a corn husk woven box and opened it, took out a piece of potato chips with a bamboo clip and handed it to Ling Geer, asking him to taste it.

Potato chips still taste like potatoes, but with a hint of strawberry flavor.

Brother Ling has eaten strawberries, and he also ate them here in Linhai. He really likes the sweet, soft and sour taste. "Are the prices the same?"

"Well, the strawberry flavor is more expensive, and the other prices are the same." Liu Yaoqing said, "For a penny, you can't buy many potato chips. I suggest buying strawberry flavor in the future."

I just saw the wages in the first month, a lot of big money, Brother Ling was reluctant to spend it, and counted it every night, this time he wanted to buy some because there were a lot of fresh food in Linhai.

"It should be salty." Brother Ling hesitated.

After handing the potato chips and popcorn to Brother Ling, Liu Yaoqing turned to talk to the others.

This is the same as going to some shops in the town to buy things, but Liu Yaoqing's things are relatively new to everyone, and there are many varieties. Even if you don't like potatoes, there are also melon seeds, bread, etc. You can always find what you like Food, and it's just a matter of one or two pennies.

Brother Ling took the things and ran all the way out of Linhai.

Only brother Ling was selected in their family. His parents' physical condition is not as good as before because of the loss of his brother. Even if he is selected, he may not be able to do much work.

"Father, mother." Brother Ling said happily, "I bought something delicious, come and taste it."

"Brother Ling is back, there are eggs in the pot." The woman laughed.

"Mom, didn't they all say that you don't need to leave eggs for me, you can just eat them with Dad, I eat much better in Linhai." Brother Ling took out potato chips and popcorn as if offering treasures, and said with a smile, "Linhai can have lunch at noon. Eat a marinated egg, the kind that is black but not autumnal, it is delicious, and there is also fried pork with cucumber, I brought them back, in the package."

The man entered the door with a hoe on his shoulder. Hearing Brother Ling's words, there was a smile on his face.

The eldest son who had high hopes was gone. I thought that if I worked hard to marry Ling Geer, the life of the two of them would be over, but now Ling Geer not only has a monthly salary, but also does not need to be supported by the family.

"Mom, let's go cook now."

"Well, put more potatoes in the stew, it tastes better with meat." Brother Ling said, "I may have to come back later tomorrow night, Linhai has to give a lecture."

Now Linhai has too many things to do and is too busy, the stewards don't have time to give lectures every night, they can only give lectures every few days, but every time the big dining hall can be full of people.

Literacy and accounting are the most basic things to become a deputy steward, and after learning it, you won't have to rely on your own strength to work, and you are more likely to be promoted to steward in the future, and you will reach the sky in one step.

I heard that some scholars will come to build a school for a while, and everyone will be able to learn to read and write. Many people are looking forward to seeing the stewards of Linhai.

After happily eating dinner, Brother Ling hurriedly climbed onto the kang to sleep, and had to get up early in the morning.

"Brother Qing, there's another letter from Liang Songzi." Brother Zhezi came back from the outside, holding the letter in one hand, the clothes in the other, and a plate with washed tomatoes inside.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yaoqing got up and asked.

"It is said that everything is going well, and the school is almost completed." Brother Zhezi put the letter aside and showed it to Liu Yaoqing.

Liang Songzi is now a well-known official in the capital. Although his rank is not high, he is very famous, and with He Shuo, he has the merits of enlightenment, and he will definitely continue to climb up in the future.

It’s just that Liang Songzi stirred up the wind and rain a few times, and felt that he was unable to bear it anymore, so he wrote a letter to Liu Yaoqing. First, he said that he would send people to build schools around the sea, so that everyone in the village could be literate; second, he wanted to ask Liu Yaoqing what to do next. what to do.

Back then, a man in a village on the outskirts of Beijing was not deceived by bullies because of his literacy. Instead, he sued the yamen directly.

Liang Songzi also thought of some methods, but felt that it was not safe, so he wrote to Liu Yaoqing specifically.

Pointing lightly at the few words in the letter with white and tender fingertips, Liu Yaoqing said: "This method is good, but it can't be too serious. Liang Songzi can ask them to compare with the same farmers, and the winners will be rewarded, money food, food, or even a wish. You can choose some interesting fragments and write them as articles for circulation..."

Scholars don't necessarily have to be academics, and those businessmen are not necessarily poor in writing, but they obviously love money more.Scholar can also toss about other things, just like Liu Yaoqing is not only farming.

"That's going to be a big commotion." Brother Zhezi said, "Why don't you find someone to host it?"

"Well, appoint someone who is well-known among the people to host." Liu Yaoqing said casually.

Brother Zhezi stopped talking, and looked at Liu Yaoqing fixedly.If you want to say that the most famous person should be Liu Yaoqing, but I am afraid he will not be willing, otherwise people in the world can see Liu Yaoqing casually.
