People who come to the Chu family to apply for jobs have more or less heard about the monthly wages of the Chu family's paper money workshop. Before coming, they all hope to be like those who work in the workshop, earning more money to supplement their family income. . ..
But now after listening to the arrangement of the young couple, it seems that it is somewhat different from what they expected, so naturally it is difficult to accept it for a while.
"Then what if no one asks us to do work?"
"Yeah, doesn't this mean that we can't guarantee how much money we have every month like your workshop?"
After all, they were going to work together in the future, and the young couple had no intention of deceiving everyone by making exaggerated claims about their business.
Chu Yi nodded and replied, "We have just started doing this business. We really can't guarantee how much you can earn every month, so we set a rule of paying wages in cash every time. I don't want everyone to suffer."
"This job is not bad, but there is no guarantee that we will get money every month! How about we discuss it with the Chu family? We don't want to do it one at a time. Can it be as successful as your workshop?" You will be given a fixed amount every month, and those who have done the work will be given another amount, so that everyone has a guarantee!"
The person who said this was a middle-aged man with a dark, strong face and a long face. It was he who just now shook his head after hearing what the young couple said, and kept asking if he could guarantee how much money he would receive each month.
Shen Luzhu laughed after hearing this: "This uncle is really joking. Although my workshop does pay wages as you said, you can only get paper money during the month when it is made. On days when work is not started, there is not even a copper coin." , we can still decide how much this paper money should be paid every month, but if you want me to guarantee how many times there will be troubles in the village every month, and how much money you need to pay, that is not making things difficult for us husband and wife. Well, if we had the ability to predict the future and control life and death, we would have been arrested long ago, so why would we be talking to everyone here!"
The other people in the shop were instantly amused by Shen Luzhu's funny words, and they also understood that there seemed to be no guarantee in this job. Who knew how many people could die in this village in a month!
But the black-faced man didn't seem to want to admit it just like that: "That can't be done, you can't give me money every month, so who will come to your house to work, are you brothers! Let's go, let's all leave. , I think this Chu family is where we are looking for fun, and they have no sincerity at all!"
Although the man was shouting like this, he didn't move his feet at all. He obviously wanted to incite others to join in and force Chu Yi and his wife to submit.
Seeing that the black-faced man started to act mischievously when he didn't get what he wanted, Shen Luzhu lost his temper instantly. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward to argue with him, but Chu Yi reached out to stop him. Then he heard him ask lightly: " If you don’t want to do this job, then there is another job that you can do every day, but there is no pay, can you do it?”
When the black-faced man heard this, he immediately felt that he was being teased. He stepped forward and pointed at Chu Yi and said angrily: "You bastard! You are stupid for working without wages!"
"You are not stupid, but I am not stupid either. I want to get paid for doing nothing. I don't have one, so please do it!"
The man wanted to have a fit, but he turned his eyes left and right, thinking that this was the Chu family's shop, and his yard was right behind it. If they called out all the Chu family members later, he would be the one to suffer. He glared at Chu Yi: "Humph, you act like I'm a stranger!"
Chu Yi only regarded the other party as a clown and didn't even look at him. He just looked at the others and asked, "There are still people who don't like him, so let's go together now."
The remaining people looked at me and I looked at you. They seemed to be undecided for a moment. After two more people left one after another, the remaining people finally decided to stay.
Chu Yi played a bad role, so naturally someone had to play a good role. Shen Luzhu patted his husband's arm, stepped forward and explained to everyone: "It's not that we are playing tricks on you, the main thing is that the person's request is really too much." It's a bit too much. One moment they ask us to guarantee how much work we have to do every month, and the next moment they ask us to be paid even if we don't work. Just now, who can guarantee how many people will die in the village every month? If it's true If you are right, even if you are not burned as a monster by everyone, you will probably be called a murderer and be taken away by an official!
Maybe it’s because this is still a new job for us, and everyone didn’t quite understand it for a while. Let me give you an example. This job is like the masons in the village. They also work in groups. , wherever there is work, everyone will do it together, but which leading master can guarantee that there will be ten families in the village who want to build new houses this month, and these ten families have chosen him to build them. "
"This... seems to be true!"
When the remaining people thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. This kind of work was not like farming. The land was just there, and it couldn't change and it could run.
Seeing that someone was persuaded, Shen Luzhu continued to analyze for everyone: "We also know that everyone came to my shop to make money. I didn't want everyone to eat a piece, so I came up with this method. On weekdays, When there is no work in the house, everyone just pretends that it doesn’t happen. It’s time to farm and work at home. When there is work, we will notify everyone to make money together. We can do the work for that day. Wouldn't it be better to get the money and go home happily?"
Chu Yi also promised: "Even if the owner doesn't pay the bill that day, we will advance the payment first."
Although the form of the Chu family's recruitment this time was different from what everyone imagined before coming, the conditions given by the young couple were suitable and their analysis was reasonable. At this time, they showed great sincerity and left A few of them had their heart set on what they wanted to do, so they naturally agreed.
"The Chu family, this job is fucked!"
"Count me in, I'm just staying at home. Isn't it good to just do odd jobs to earn a little money? It's better than not having any money at all!"
In the end, the funeral team was successfully established. A total of nine people were recruited, and they were distributed in three nearby villages. If there was a job, just say hello and it would take less than a stick of incense to get it done. The young couple was very satisfied with the current situation. I'm quite satisfied, but I'm secretly thinking that if I recruit people again in the future, I'll recruit people from other villages.
In this way, each village has its own people, and they can be better informed about the news. Secondly, if someone in the village needs to find a funeral team to work, they can also go directly to the funeral team members in their own village, and there is no need to pay back the money. I have to run to the Chu family in Kaoshan Village.
If this business really takes off in the future and the team gradually grows, maybe the members of the funeral team in one village can take over all the work in their village. If that is the case, then all the funeral team members in each village will be selected. Just come up with a team leader to help manage the village.
A few days before the news of the establishment of the funeral team was released, someone came to the Chu family's old house that day. It was a family named Fan in the same village. This family was not an aborigine from the mountain village, but had fled from other places in the early years. After arriving here and settling down, there are no clan blood relatives in Kaoshan Village, and the population of their own family is slightly small. The old man in the family just passed away. The eldest son Fan thought briefly and hurriedly came to the Chu family.
Shen Luzhu saw someone pushing the door open and walking in as soon as his shop opened early in the morning. He quickly raised his head from behind the counter and said, "Want to buy some paper money?"
But Fan's son said, "We'll talk about the paper money later. Can your family help people carry the coffin for the funeral?"
Chu Yi, who was teasing his fat son next to him, when he heard this, he quickly looked at his wife, handed Zhengzheng in his arms into his wife's hands, and went up to talk to her: "Yes, my family We have formed a funeral team, but is there any need?"
"My grandfather went away this morning. We don't have enough manpower at home. I want to hire your funeral team. When can your people come to the door?"
Chu Yi and the other party agreed on the work that needed to be done and the price. Fan's eldest son bought a lot of paper money in the shop, and then left in a hurry.
Chu Yi put away the money box, turned to Shen Luzhu and said, "I have to inform them of this, and I have to go to Beizhuang Village to talk to Mr. Du. Ah Zhu, you still have to look after Zhengzheng, or else first Is the shop closed?"
"Don't worry, I'm here at home. Go and come back quickly."
"Okay!" Chu Yi stepped forward and pinched his fat son's fleshy face, looked at his wife again, then turned around and drove the bullock cart out of the yard.
After going door to door and notifying a few people to gather at his home later, Chu Yi went to Mr. Du's home alone. It was the last time he and Shen Luzhu came together.
, almost ten days have passed, and there has been no reply from the Du family. They are also too busy to ask specifically. Now that we have the first business, it is time to confirm what Mr. Du means.
Although he had guessed that the young couple from the Chu family would come to their house in the next few days, Mr. Du was still a little surprised to see Chu Yi in front of his house early in the morning.
"Boy from the Chu family, why are you here so early in the morning?"
Chu Yi tied his bullock cart outside the gate of Du's courtyard, turned around and asked, "Mr. Du, what have you thought about what I said before?"
Mr. Du had heard a lot about the recent rumors about the Chu family forming a funeral team even though he was two villages away. Unexpectedly, in less than ten days, the young couple actually got it done with great fanfare. , it is true that he has some abilities.
But seeing that Chu Yi didn't even enter the courtyard, he asked directly. Although he was very surprised, he didn't care about it anymore: "I have thought about that matter. What you said is not unreasonable. Disciples always have to As someone who earns money to support the family, I agree to this!"
The other party's answer was as expected by Chu Yi. He and his wife had discussed it before when they were chatting. It was very likely that Mr. Du agreed. However, he had not sent them a letter for a long time. At first glance, he probably wanted to See if they are talking big words, and secondly, they are still showing some airs.
The young couple didn't care about this. The other party was not young, so it was always right to respect him as an elder.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Du. I wonder if we can arrange a band with a few people now. There will be a funeral for the host's family the day after tomorrow. It's best to finalize it now so that I can give you a reply."
Mr. Du really didn't expect that this young couple would suddenly bring in business. He finally understood the reason why Chu Yi asked directly in front of the courtyard. Maybe he would have to rush back to do some work later, so he made a plan in his mind. Next, he immediately gave a reply: "Okay, of course there are people. I will send people to your place in the afternoon to finalize the details with you."
