The next day, Yang Huazhong wrote down the Taoist temple's recruitment of sweepers and cooks, as well as the relevant conditions, in black and white, and posted it on the big maple tree at the entrance of Changping Village.
I didn't expect that the centuries-old maple tree could still play such a role. The base of the tree was crowded with villagers who came to see the notice.
Considering that almost 90% of the people in the village were illiterate, Yang Huazhong also set up a small table under the old maple tree, made a pot of tea and sat there, specifically for the villagers who could not understand the notices. Verbal explanation.
Then, the registered people are recorded in a book, and the registration period is two days.
After Yang Ruoqing handed the matter over to Yang Huazhong, she ignored it for the time being. Mrs. Zuo happened to live in her home, so in the past two days, she accompanied Mrs. Zuo to take a look at the interesting places near Wanghai County. After playing it once, we also went to a teahouse in Wanghai County to drink tea and listen to a play.
By the time she and Mrs. Zuo came back from their trip, Yang Huazhong had already handed her a list that had gone through the first level of screening.
"Everyone was very enthusiastic when they heard that the Taoist temple was recruiting people. Look, hundreds of people signed up in just two days, not only from our village, but also from the neighboring village."
"Some people are asking me whether our Taoist temple is recruiting Taoist priests? If so, they might all become monks and become Taoist priests, hahaha!"
According to the laws of Daqi, Taoist priests can get married and start families, unlike monks.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "Taoist priests will not take the initiative to recruit, but if Taoist priests from nearby wandering places come to place orders, we at Sanqing Temple are very welcome."
"But I've left this part to Chief Yuan, and I'm recruiting two handymen right now."
While speaking, Yang Ruoqing's eyes swept over the list in front of her.
From the initial one hundred people, after some screening by Yang Huazhong, seventy were left.
The seventy were divided into two categories. One category was those who signed up to be handymen, with fifty people. There are only twenty people in the other category who signed up to be cooks.
"Many women have signed up with me and said they want to cook. I made it clear that Taoist chefs only recruit men, not women." Yang Huazhong glanced at the list and added.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, then picked up a pen and checked the names of two people on the list in her hand.
The handyman chosen was a man in the village who was in his forties. The man used to be physically strong and he also worked in the transportation team a few years ago. Later, because the old father at home was in poor health, it was not convenient for his wife to take care of him at home. He reluctantly quit his job in the transportation team and stayed at home to take care of the farm work while taking care of his old father's illness.
I heard that men are very filial. My old father was bedridden for three years, but he never left me. He ate, drank, and pooped on the bed all the time, and he never complained.
His old father passed away two years ago, and his two sons gradually grew up, married wives and gave birth to grandchildren.
Nowadays, the farm work at home is taken care of by the two sons and daughter-in-law. The grandson is taken care of by the man's mother-in-law, and the man stays at home to help his sons.
If you come to work as a handyman in a Taoist temple, you can earn an extra hundred cents a month, and your family will save one person's food rations.
"Uncle Li is a filial son, and he is clean both physically and mentally. He can be a handyman," Yang Ruoqing said.
Hanzi and Uncle Changgen are cousins, both surnamed Li, and Li is also the common surname in Changping Village.
Yang Huazhong nodded, "Well, he is indeed not bad, he is willing to work hard, and he is also a down-to-earth person."
Then, the person who will cook the meal was decided. It was a man named Yansheng who was well-known in the village.
"Qing'er, this guy is sick. People in the village say he is sick. Can we let him cook?" Yang Huazhong asked worriedly.
It was difficult to erase Niansheng's name before because there were relatively few people interested in applying to be a cook, so Yang Huazhong kept Niansheng's name. Unexpectedly, Yang Ruoqing also chose him.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips: "Dad, I think Yansheng is the most suitable person. His illness is so good that he will be suitable to cook."
A person born in chaff is thirty-six or seven, single and without offspring. He is a bachelor in the village.
Fansheng has another name in the village, everyone calls her "Nang Po Niang".
why?
Because this man has been like a woman since he was a child. He can hold orchids while talking, starch, put away shoes, make clothes, sew quilts, he can do all the tasks that women can do, and he can even do them better than women.
The pond in Changping Village is a stage for women when they are bathing, and the bran is a little green among thousands of flowers.
In Yansheng's house, the floor is swept clean and the tables are wiped spotless. Even though the family is poor, they prepare four handkerchiefs for washing their faces, feet, and hands every day.
Don't mess with any of them. You must wash them after using them every day and let them dry in the sun.
Even the dishcloths and rags in the kitchen are washed every day, and they are so clean that I can't even put my foot down.
Later, he married a daughter-in-law. He disliked her for being sloppy, and her daughter-in-law couldn't handle Yansheng's high standards and demands. One time, because his wife went to bed without washing her feet, the couple had a falling out, and Fansheng has been fighting since then. Single.
Many people in the village said that Nang Sheng was sick.
But Yang Ruoqing knew that Nansheng had a mysophobia.
For someone with such a mysophobia, it would be perfect to send him to the Taoist temple to cook and provide logistics for Taoist Yuan and Xiao Mo.
"Okay, I believe in Qing'er's judgment of people. Then I will go to their two families and tell them about this matter." Yang Huazhong said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "These two places are recruited from outside. In addition, I have reserved two places for relatives and friends at home."
"Ah?" Yang Huazhong thought he heard wrongly.
Yang Ruoqing then continued: "I would like to place one of my family members in the front yard sweeping area and the backyard kitchen area respectively. Dad, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Yang Huazhong thought about it for a moment, but stopped talking.
"Dad, just tell me what you want. You don't need to talk to your daughter about it." Yang Ruoqing smiled and said.
Yang Huazhong said: "I actually want to recommend your fourth uncle to be a sweeper, but I'm afraid you won't agree. After all, your fourth uncle didn't do well in many things in the past... But he took a beating for me last time. The hole in my head took more than half a month to heal due to the scissors, and I feel really bad about it."
Yang Huaming has been staying at home to take care of farm work in the past few years since Yang Ruoqing stopped him from working in a restaurant in town for the last time.
Yang Ruoqing had guessed that her father would recommend her fourth uncle. To be honest, she had thought of it too.
Fourth uncle blocked that scissor for his father, which was indeed a meritorious service.
"Okay, then this job will be given to the fourth uncle. However, I'm worried that the fourth uncle may not like it. The probation period is 400 yuan, and the probation period is 800 yuan. The fourth uncle used to get two taels of silver a month in the restaurant. Yes." Yang Ruoqing said again.
