Seeing Aunt Zhang stand up, Gu Beichuan smiled and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Cuihua, and I am thirty-eight this year."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm very strong and can do heavy work."
Aunt Zhang said in a hushed voice. As she spoke, she lifted up her sleeves and showed her slightly thick arms to Gu Beichuan.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he smiled and shook his head. Before he could speak, Aunt Zhang felt like she was mourning after seeing this scene.
Even the many women who were watching were talking about it.
"Master, you are right. There is nothing our women can do in this work. Aunt Zhang has been strong since she was a child. She is the strongest woman in our village. She can't do it, so I won't join in the fun. ." said the daughter-in-law of Li Er's family.
The same was true for the rest of the people. Many people who were originally ready to move, saw this scene and stopped thinking.
It's very simple. The customs of Bagong villagers are simple, and the level of workmanship is entirely based on strength.
Whoever is stronger can do the work well and get more wages.
Aunt Zhang is already the strongest among them. If even she can't do it, is there any need for the others to try?
Even the village chief frowned, feeling a little confused.
It was Gu Dong's family who said they wanted to recruit women, and now that women are here, it's also Gu Dong's family who don't want them.
This... is Gu Dongjia playing tricks on me?
The men were not in a good mood either. Some of them were doing farm work in the fields, some were helping dig ditches to divert water, and some were even having children with their mothers-in-law.
I was called here by the village chief. I thought it was a good thing, but the result was not as expected, so I naturally didn't feel good about it.
However, Gu Beichuan's next words made all of them stunned.
"My job doesn't require any strength."
"What? No effort required!"
"How is it possible? How can it be done without any effort?"
The men were whispering to each other and talking, their brows filled with disbelief.
If it was not Gu Beichuan who said this but other unknown bosses, they would just turn around and leave without saying a word.
I still have to spit in my heart, saying that most likely the trafficker came from somewhere.
But it was Gu Beichuan who said this. He still had a big business in Huainan City, and when he built a house a few days ago, he never owed even half of the wages.
Everyone did not mutiny, but they also refused to believe it.
"Ahem, Mr. Gu, don't say it's a joke."
"Did we not build the house well enough last time and made the owner angry?"
Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him and the disbelief in everyone's eyes, Gu Beichuan also looked a little helpless.
The villagers of Bagong Village urinate and live in this ravine.
I have never seen the world, I have never seen the beautiful mountains and rivers, and I have never seen the armored army.
In their simple and simple values, they seem to have determined one thing - only by working hard can they get money.
Such people are very simple and pure.
But I have to say, it's also a bit foolish.
Gu Beichuan realized that a few words could not change their values, so he planned to speak directly with the facts.
"Aunt Zhang, come here."
Aunt Zhang, who was short, stocky and slightly bloated, raised her head when she heard this and trotted over quickly.
Gu Beichuan took out a silkworm egg, handed it to Aunt Zhang, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"I know, Bai Chong'er." Aunt Zhang grinned, showing her neat and white front teeth, and said with a smile.
"That's right, but its scientific name is silkworm."
"When you come to work in my workshop, you don't have to worry about anything else, just feed it."
"Wha...what?" Aunt Zhang was obviously shocked by these words. She stood stunned for a long time before saying, "You're going to pay me to feed the white bugs?"
"certainly."
"But instead of raising one, there are hundreds."
"no problem!"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang obviously gained confidence.
She was very familiar with White Chong'er, and she only ate mulberry leaves on weekdays, which was very easy to keep.
If she could get paid just by feeding the white bugs, she would definitely have no problem.
"That's it...that's it?" Everyone around them exclaimed in surprise.
"What's the use of this white insect? Why raise it?"
"You don't care what its use is. The boss is a person who does big things. If he says it's useful, it will be useful."
"The head of the house is just raising white bugs, and you can get paid. I'll give it a try too." The daughter-in-law of Li Er's family had another idea.
However, Li Er did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Gu Beichuan, "May I ask the Gu Dong family, what happens after you feed Bai Chong'er?"
Raising white insects should not be too simple.
With this money, Li Er felt uneasy.
His ancestors, for three generations, were all honest and dedicated farmers.
I've never done anything illegal, so it's better to ask.
"That's a good question. After the silkworms are raised, they will spin silk and form cocoons."
"What I want you to do is to extract the silk thread from the cocoon, weave it into cloth, and then send it to the city to sell."
"Do you understand everything?"
Everyone around looked at each other, feeling that it was extremely strange.
Can the silk spun by white insects also be used to weave cloth? It is truly unheard of and unseen.
But when they heard it was weaving, the women felt even more confident.
Especially Aunt Zhang, she makes a living by weaving all day long!
"You may still think you don't know how to do it, but it doesn't matter. After entering the workshop, I will teach you every step."
"If you can learn it, keep doing it. If you can't learn it, go home and farm. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words were said, the women still hesitated and said one after another: "I understand, I want to work!"
"I want it too! I want it too!"
"My boss hired me to work, and I'm very good at needlework!"
"Daughter-in-law of the Li family, you are talking nonsense. I am obviously the best at needlework."
Seeing this scene, Gu Beichuan breathed a sigh of relief. The recruitment of workers was finally completed.
But then, he put on a serious face and said loudly:
"Everyone, I understand how you want to work."
"The workshop will definitely not treat you badly. Thirty dollars a day will pay for the day's wages, and you will also take care of a meal at noon."
Hearing this, the cheers became even louder.
Aunt Zhang even cried with joy. There are only two people in her family, and they usually eat twice a day.
If I can have a meal in the workshop, I will still be full, and I am afraid I can save a lot of food for the winter.
"But! The workshop has its own rules. I hope that after entering the workshop, you will act according to the rules and not go your own way."
"We don't want workers who are used to being free and disobedient."
"Also, you have never heard that it is normal to raise silkworms and weave cloth before, because this is a new method I came up with and no one else knows about it."
"So what you see and hear in the workshop must not be reported to anyone, otherwise you will be fired directly. Do you understand?"
