Okay, there is still half a month until the Chinese New Year, and there is still one month until January 15th. Everyone can prepare when they have free time. So, let's eat now, shall we? "
After introducing all the procedures, Tang Ping asked people to serve the food.
Although this meal seemed enjoyable on the surface, many people began to make calculations in their hearts.
This ice is easy to deal with. Now that the entire Ba River is frozen, we just need to find someone to dig it out.
As for the master who carved the ice lantern... In fact, many craftsmen in this era are generalists. Carpenters can carve, goldsmiths can carve, and many bamboo craftsmen have this skill.
Ice lanterns have occasionally been made in the past, but I don't know why Tang Ping would do it this year. What is he trying to do?
These people are all businessmen, and Tang Ping is also a businessman like them, so the first thing everyone thinks is, what profit does Tang Ping gain from doing this?
But after thinking about it and discussing it in twos and threes, I couldn't come up with a reason.
"Oh, you guys are very clever, but the layout is too small!" Fatty Liu stretched out his fat hand and made a pinching gesture with his index finger and thumb, but there was still a rough gap between the two fingers. One centimeter distance.
Many people saw this gesture for the first time and were still curious about what it meant. Then combined with what Fatty Liu said just now, they realized that he was mocking them for being so small.
"Fat Liu, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Literally? How can Mr. Tang's style be compared to that of you pickled people? They just want to be lively and lively during the Chinese New Year, and have the smell of thousands of lights!"
After speaking, Fatty Liu put down his chopsticks and said, "Brothers, please eat slowly. I'll leave first!"
Then he bowed his hands to Tang Ping and left with his stupid steps.
"Do you feel that there is something wrong with Fatty Liu today?"
"It seems so. Why do you feel like he's been here all the time?"
The people here are not stupid. It is obvious that Fatty Liu today is a little different. Several people at the table with him looked at each other, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and then greeted Tang Ping and followed him.
"Hey, there is indeed something wrong with Fatty Liu. He didn't go back to his Bazhen Tower, but went outside the city!

"
"Could it be that you want to win over some refugees in advance and leave a good name for yourself?"
"Probably not. He had a porridge shack outside the city some time ago."
Several people followed Fatty Liu to the outside of Chang'an City, and sure enough they saw Fatty Liu running toward the refugees.
He walked past the dilapidated shacks one by one, and many people followed him.
After Fatty Liu had walked a little further, a few people covered their noses and came to a shack, inside which there was only an old lady who was half-lying.
One of the shopkeepers asked: "Old lady, I want to ask you something."
"The old woman is just a refugee. What do you want to ask me?"
"What did that fat man say when he came over just now? Why do I see so many people following him?"
"That was a great kind man just now!" The old woman looked at the people and said, "He came to my son to work. Not only did he take care of the food every day, but he also paid him cash and promised to give him a set of bedding first. Give us."
The few people looked at each other at first, thinking that Fatty Liu was really here to win people's hearts, but then they thought, no, all they have to do is give them something to win people's hearts. What kind of job does he do to get so many people to work?
You must know that he is a restaurant owner, and his restaurant cannot accommodate so many people.
"Did he say any work?"
"As I said, the good man said that he would take them to make the biggest ice lantern. He also said that everyone can go to the city to see the excitement in January."
These exiles are all suffering in their hearts. Although the ice lantern mentioned does not seem to have anything to do with them, the people at home now have work to do. They can't have enough to eat and some wages. They also promised to send bedding. If you come here, you can get through this cold winter.
So when she talked about the ice lantern, there was a glimmer of light in the old woman's eyes, and her whole body seemed to feel warmer.
But those shopkeepers grasped the key point - the largest ice lantern.
"Well, you Fatty Liu, you really have a plan!"
A few people understood Fatty Liu's purpose immediately. Most of these people had the mentality of worshiping huge objects.
Think about it, if everyone’s ice lanterns were half a meter in size at that time, Fatty Liu would make them in one go.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A big guy of seven or eight meters came out.
Just putting it there will crush everyone, so who do you need to vote for?
So the few people who understood Fatty Liu's plan immediately dispersed after looking at each other.
What do you need to make a big ice lantern? Of course it’s manpower. How about collecting and transporting ice from the river, which one doesn’t require a lot of manpower?
The clerks in their shops cannot be used to do these things for a long time, but these refugees are different. These refugees are cheap to hire and can specialize in this task.
As for the small amount of money spent, when I come out on top, not to mention the huge advertisement, I don’t know how much the total money will exceed compared to the cost of hiring the refugees.
Fatty Liu had already taken advantage of these shacks, and all the strong laborers had been taken away by Fatty Liu.
So they hurried to several other directions and started recruiting people.
There was a shopkeeper who was still thinking about saving some money and wanted to lower the price. He only took care of the food but was unwilling to pay wages.
Unexpectedly, after searching for several shacks in a row, no refugee agreed. Only an old man with three teeth left said that he could also take care of the food.
How did he know that these refugees were notified by Tang Ping and his men yesterday, and today someone came to recruit them, asking them to be bitten to death and receive the same treatment.
Because Wang Qingluan was the first to give porridge and medicine here in the name of Tang Ping, Tang Ping's reputation was very good among the refugees.
In addition, they found out that someone really came to recruit workers today, and it was Tang Ping who said they were going to dig ice, so they all believed Tang Ping and insisted that in addition to taking care of the food, they had to pay a small amount of wages.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to compromise. After all, these refugees didn't want much, and the combined wages of all these people couldn't buy a mirror in Wangshu Tower.
So soon, several people rushed to Bashui with a group of ragged refugees.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Many other shopkeepers suddenly realized what they were doing, and then began to rush to the refugee areas outside Chang'an City to recruit people.
Not only did they not lower the price, they would even increase the price when they saw someone who looked stronger.
All this is very similar to the bosses who were short of workers during the labor crisis in later generations.
