Most of Sun Hopu's men also started out as apprentices. Most of the clerks are introduced by acquaintances when they sign a contract of sale at the beginning. When a problem arises, regardless of whether they have sold themselves or not, they go to this acquaintance first, give them a scolding, and use human touch to solve most problems that cannot be solved by the agreement.
As soon as the restaurant was recruiting assistants, apprentices and maids, it was announced to the refugees, and it immediately aroused a violent response like a hot knife piercing butter.
Poor parents in the world. When the parents of refugees heard that there were still people recruiting children to work, they ignored the stuttering and tried their best to send their children to Zhuangzi.
It is obvious to all that the owner of Liangjiazhuang is a kind man. There are countless rich people in Bianjing City, but no one stands up to give even a grain of chaff.
The notice in Liangjiazhuang also makes it very clear. A young apprentice and a maidservant will be given five hundred coins a month. After working for a year, an additional one hundred coins will be added a month. After working for three to five years, you can get several coins a month. Farming is also good. You can’t grow so much food!
There are only parents in the world who want their children to be good, and their children are their darlings. Unless absolutely necessary, who would be willing to send his son or daughter to someone else's house to be a slave? Is the food of a wealthy family so fragrant and delicious? Anything that goes wrong will result in beatings, scoldings, and humiliations.
The eyes of the refugees are sharper than anything else. There are two people in the Liangjiazhuang that the guys call their boss. One is quite stylish and very young. He should have been pampered since he was a child. The guys are very polite to him. He was also very polite to his employees, almost like a polite corporal.
You see the other boss, who doesn’t look like the head of the family at all. When eating, he squats down on the floor with his bowl and starts eating. The guys are talking and laughing when they meet him. A group of people and cats are there while eating. Together, people who don’t know him are treated as a group of guys, but his prestige is extremely high, and what he says and does is so convincing that other guys are convinced.
Even in their free time, guys like to hang around him. Which family's head is so casual with his servants? It shows that the family is kind-hearted and does not treat the servants harshly. It can survive and still give such things. People who take jobs are lucky!
The interview was held in the main hall of Zhuangzi. Liang Chuan didn't want many people to watch. Adults could watch from the sidelines. Adults had to make the decision. Otherwise, signing a contract of sale with a child would be a bit of a fraud?
There were two large fire pots on the left and right, and the cold wind blew in as soon as the door opened. It is easy for people to get sick when it is warm and cold at once. Fortunately, Liang Chuan's body is strong enough, and Sun Houpu's body is much better than the average person's body maintained by taking many supplements. point.
There are some rice cakes and steamed buns on the table.
Liang Chuan in the middle, Sun Houpu on the left, and Meng Liangchen on the right. Meng Liangchen came to Zhuangzi after class. Hearing that Liang Chuan wanted to hire a clerk, he was also a little interested. It happened that Liang Chuan asked him to come and check, and the three of them sat together.
"Let the children in."
The first child who came in had hair as messy as weeds, and birds could build nests on it. He looked at the three people with frightened and timid faces. If it weren't for the two adults who were standing behind him numbly and plaintively, he would have been there long ago. He ran out of the main hall. His eyes were a little wandering, but after seeing the steamed buns on the table, he swallowed hard and stopped looking at Liang Chuan and the other three.
"Can you read?"
Meng Liangchen asked first.
The child first looked at the two adults, then at Meng Liangchen, and then shook his head. His eyes were still painfully staring at those white steamed buns.
"Want to eat?"
Liang Chuan said with a friendly face.
The child finally spoke: "I want to!"
"Eat."
The two adults behind were a little anxious. This was someone who sold themselves to work for others, not someone who came to be a son-in-law. Who dared to ask for this baby if he was eaten before he even started working? The two wanted to hold the child, but Liang Chuan stared back.
The child stretched out his little hand, which was as thin as winter, and tremblingly reached for the steamed buns on the table. He took two from the left and the right. Only when he saw that the faces of the three people were smiling did he dare to move back.
"Eat."
Liang Chuan said it again.
The child didn't eat. He looked at the snow-white steamed buns and was a little distracted. His nose twitched twice and he swallowed hard. Still without Liang Chuan, he turned around and walked two steps to the two adults and handed them to them: "Dad , Mom, eat.”
The eyes of the two adults turned red and tears came out of their eyes. The mother started sobbing while holding the child, not daring to cry in front of the master. The father said: "Fan'er, you can eat by yourself. Mom and dad are not hungry."
Liang Chuan smiled and looked at Meng Liangchen and Sun Houpu: "You can have this child."
Meng Liangchen said: "Yes!"
Houpu said: "Not bad."
The child's parents knelt down in gratitude: "Thank you, boss, for saving our child's life."
Meng Liangchen said: "You taught this child well, but we took advantage of you."
Liang Chuan also said: "Yes, sir, you are right, filial piety comes first. Children who understand this principle will be good. You can rest assured to leave your child to us. We will not starve him or freeze him. We still have monthly money here, and if you need it, we can even advance part of your money to help you survive!"
"If you are unhappy, please call me boss!"
The child seemed to understand something and put the bun back where it was. His hands tightly held the corner of his mother's clothes and refused to let go: "Mom, I will be obedient. Please don't let me go."
How can there be parents in the world who don’t want their children? .
Liang Chuan said: "What is your name, kid?"
The child looked up at the man and wiped the tears on his face: "My name is Hong Bufan."
This child looks thin and small. It is the time when his body is growing. He looks like a small carrot head when his body is short and has not grown at all.
"I have good food and clothing here, and you can make money to honor your parents. Are you willing to work for me?"
Liang Chuan extended an olive branch to Hong Bufan.
Hong Bufan's parents really couldn't support their child. After the land was gone, their livelihood became a problem. It wasn't that they wanted to sell their son and daughter. Rather than suffer the consequences themselves, they would rather work as servants in other people's homes. The couple was also planning to work as tenant farmers for others, buy two acres of thin farmland in a few years, and then settle down.
The most difficult thing is the current level.
They heard about many people taking advantage of the great turmoil in the northwest to buy people from our wealthy families. Although selling themselves to our wealthy families would not worry them, the intrigues among the wealthy families were fierce, and they often heard about various Rumors about treating people like pigs and dogs and beating and humiliating them at the slightest displeasure made the refugees reluctant to push their children into the fire pit, but if they didn't jump into the fire pit, they would freeze to death in the ice cave.
They also have many relatives in the northwest. Otherwise, they would all have met a good family like Liang Chuan!
"My boss is a good man. Listen to your parents and come to pick you up after your parents have settled down, okay...!"
The couple persuaded Hong Bufan with words of distress and holding back tears, and Hong Bufan's little hand finally relaxed slowly.
Liang Chuan said: "If you two don't mind, our village is also short of a lot of tenant farmers. Asking for work is not asking for work. You might as well just work in our village. It will be convenient for you to take care of your children when you want them in the future."
This is the best. If Hong Bufan's family is not broken up, his parents and sons will all work for him. As long as he is not too harsh on them, the family will only work hard for Zhuangzi.
"Boss, I still have some cousins in my hometown. Can I let them come here to work together?"
Hong Bufan didn't think of him alone. .
It is not easy to have such a heart at such a young age.
A few people sighed, saying that the world is difficult and forces people to grow up.
Meng Liangchen and Sun Houpu have never seen anyone complaining about Liang Chuan's treatment of others after following Liang Chuan. Which one is not grateful and kind? Not to mention Liang Chuan's own servants, those Luocheng masters only built a house for Liang Chuan. Who came directly from Qingyuan thousands of miles away, who can have such a great reputation?
The three people cried and comforted each other in the room, struggling for a long time to recruit one person at a time. This progress was far from satisfactory. Although recruitment should not be hasty, the efficiency should not be too bad.
Liang Chuan suddenly thought of a person and said to Yelu Zhongguang outside the door: "What is the little Heavenly Master doing? Call him over."
Zhang Jixian now wanders around Zhuangzi every day. Occasionally he sees a few refugees and kindly gives them fortune telling. After being fooled, these people had no confidence in life at first, but their eyes suddenly brightened and they were worried about the road. I feel extremely longing for it.
In this era, Taoist monks are a profession full of sacredness and mystery. Even if it is windy or rainy, many phenomena cannot be explained by scientific principles. Many people give the right to explain these phenomena to these people. In troubled times, why? The reason for linking rebellion with organizing a cult is that the mysterious priesthood is more inflammatory.
"Master, you call me?" Zhang Jixian has no intention of leaving Zhuangzi now. Liang Chuan wants to keep him by his side because he can make explosives, but Linghu is not here and there is no way to bring the two of them together to create a chemical reaction. I can only keep this kid in reserve for emergencies.
"You have met a lot of people. You have a unique physiognomy in Longhu Mountain. I need to recruit a few kids here to be my assistants. Please help me find out which ones are more suitable."
Zhang Jixian was immediately reluctant. Their secret skills were used to discover great talents in the world, so how could they be used to recruit people? It would be bad luck if his father found out!
"What? You don't want to? I can't do this even if I want to drink so much for you and ask you to put in some effort? That's fine, you go out and clean up, and get out of here right now!"
Liang Chuan is playing hard to get. How can he send away such a highly sophisticated talent just because of such a trivial matter? If his opponent gets this kind of talent and makes explosives, no matter how strong his martial arts skills are, he will not dare to compete with the explosives. A tough one.
Zhang Jixian didn't dare to slander, he immediately put on a smile and said: "How can I do it? My boss treats me with great kindness, so I have to help. Okay, it's just a small matter, I'll take care of it right now!"
