Chapter 75 Hiring People to Work 3

The few people standing in the ice were looking at this side, with tension and anticipation on their faces.

"Well, being diligent is good, but the salary is still the same."

"Boss Gu, we didn't expect to ask for more."

Afraid that Gu Luan would misunderstand, Zhou Hu and Liang Heng quickly waved their hands.

"Okay, get to work."

Gu Luan waved his hand and yawned again, still feeling a little sleepy.

After watching two movies last night, I couldn't sleep.

It must be because of the cup of oolong tea I drank before going to bed.

Liang Heng took the tools and walked towards the place where he had gotten ice yesterday.

Zhou Hu looked at his companions and called out to Gu Luan, who was about to turn around, "Boss Gu, do you still need someone to work?"

Gu Luan knew what Zhou Hu meant. She chuckled and leaned against the car door. "Your companion?"

Zhou Hu nodded and pointed at the six people not far away, "They are not lazy people, please give them a chance, Boss Gu."

Gu Luan stared at Zhou Hu with a smile, making Zhou Hu feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, call them over."

Gu Luan didn't refuse.

Zhou Hu and Liang Heng are both good people, and anyone who can be on good terms with them should not be a bad person.

She is also willing to hire such people to do the job.

Zhou Hu responded and waved to the six people.

Seeing Zhou Hu waving at them, several people quickly rushed over.

The six people, like Zhou Hu yesterday, stood in front of Gu Luan nervously.

Gu Luan's eyes swept over Jia Rui and Zhou Ling.

Then, Gu Luan's eyes fell on Li Shuhua and her stupid son.

Li Shuhua's heart beat faster and her palms felt sweaty as she held her silly son's hand.

"Boss Gu...Boss Gu, you don't need me. Although my son is a little stupid, he is very strong and can do a lot of work."

Li Shuhua didn't say anything nonsense.

Although her son is stupid, he is stronger than the average man.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried her so far away when the accident happened.

The silly son chuckled and said, "You are strong, come to work."

Gu Luan nodded, and finally set his gaze on Master Xie and his wife.

Both of them are in their sixties, and their faces are full of traces of time.

Perhaps it was because Gu Luan's gaze stayed on them for too long.

Master Xie and his wife were worried, but they also felt that they had little hope.

"Boss Gu, we can ask for less food. We only ask you to hire us to work. We can work longer hours than others."

Afraid that Gu Luan would not be willing to hire them, Master Xie's voice was filled with pleading.

The food at home had been almost eaten, and they had also found most of the food in the mountains.

If they don't get food, they will starve to death.

"Not only do I need to get ice here, I also need a lot of firewood."

"I work from 8 am every day, take a two-hour break from 11 am to 1 pm, and finish work at 6 pm."

Gu Luan thought about it for a while last night before adjusting his working hours.

It's not easy to work in winter.

Gu Luan was not the kind of boss who mistreat people, so he decided to give them some time to eat and rest at noon.

"What are your names?"

Gu Luan asked the six people their names, and they quickly gave their names.

After observing for a while, Gu Luan began to assign tasks.

"Zhou Hu, Liang Heng, and Jia Rui go get some ice. Master Xie and his wife, Zhou Ling, and Aunt Li and her son go chop some firewood."

Gu Luan came out with two chain saws, two axes and a rope.

Master Xie and the other four quickly stepped forward to take it.

After the work was assigned, Zhou Hu and the other two went to their respective posts.

Master Xie took four people to the mountain to chop firewood.

In the past, we used machetes to chop wood, but now we use chainsaws, so we can definitely chop a lot in a day.

The sounds of cutting machines and chainsaws were heard in his ears, and Gu Luan became an idle person again.

Take out a bag of potatoes and a bag of sweet potatoes from the space.

Then he took out another bag of rice and piled it all in the RV.

Gu Luan took out some more food bags, each of which contained two kilograms of food.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Gu Luan, who had nothing to do, went to see Zhou Hu and others getting ice.

The three people's movements were obviously much faster than yesterday.

I have already taken nearly five hundred blocks of ice in this morning, which is not bad.

After watching the ice being collected, Gu Luan went to the place where firewood was chopped.

Master Xie and Zhou Ling were using chainsaws to saw down dry and dead trees.

Li Shuhua and her silly son were chopping wood.

Grandma Xie then tied the chopped firewood into a bundle.

Everyone worked together and was very enthusiastic, with a slight smile on their faces.

Gu Luan did not disturb them and walked around towards the mountain.

After walking for a long time, Gu Luan still didn't find anything useful.

There were footprints on the ground, which must have meant that Zhou Hu and his team had already searched the area thoroughly.

Without feeling disappointed, Gu Luan turned around and went down the mountain.

At six o'clock in the evening, everyone started to finish work.

Zhou Hu and his two companions collected more than 1,100 ice cubes in one day.

Master Xie and his four companions chopped 41 bundles of firewood, each weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Gu Luan stood in front of the RV and began distributing supplies.

Except for Liang Heng, the other seven people received two kilograms of food, and everyone unanimously chose rice.

The eight people walked happily towards their home, their steps revealing a relaxed and happy look.

Gu Luan watched the eight people leaving with a deep look in his eyes.

Just two kilograms of food made people so happy that she didn't know what to say.

In the end times, the cheapest thing is labor.

In the future, when supplies are even more scarce, maybe you can hire someone with just half a pound of food.

So Gu Luan can be considered a conscientious boss.

Although the country still has grain reserves, it is impossible to grow crops in this weather.

Even if we find a way, we won't be able to supply so many people.

If this continues, countless amounts of food will be consumed every day.

Xi

I hope the country can find a way to completely solve the problem of food shortage.

Zhou Hu and his eight companions returned home chatting and laughing, and Xu Hui and Wu Xiao walked out the door to greet everyone.

"dad."

"dad."

Qiqi and Jiujiu ran towards Jia Rui.

Jia Rui held a child in each hand and kissed them on the face.

Although I am exhausted after a day's work, it is all worth it when I see my wife and children.

"Honey, look at the food I brought back."

Jia Rui picked up the rice and placed it in front of Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao hugged him excitedly, "That boss is such a good person!"

"you do not say."

Jia Rui sighed.

There are not many good people nowadays, especially good people who can provide food.

"Come home quickly, I'll make porridge for you."

Wu Xiao had already figured out what to do with the food he brought back, and ran home excitedly.

"Cook three or two, so that our family can have a good meal."

Jia Rui originally wanted his wife to cook more.

Thinking about the food stored at home, I decided to cook only three or two taels of rice.

Wu Xiao was a little hesitant. She had originally planned to cook only two handfuls of rice, about two taels.

Since Jia Rui said so, Wu Xiao still listened to her husband.

Before the end of the world, she was also a generous person.

Now she was forced by the end of the world to calculate everything she did, especially food.

Jia Rui and his wife returned to the wooden house, and Master Xie and his family also returned home with four kilograms of rice.

Although Liang Heng did not bring back rice, he was happier to see his wife's health getting better than to get the rice.

Li Shuhua was boiling water and cooking in the kitchen, and her silly son was staring at the rice pot beside her.

When she saw this, she gritted her teeth and grabbed a handful of rice and put it in the pot.

When the rice was ready, the silly son served it to Li Shuhua first.

"Son, eat quickly."

"Mom, you eat too, it's delicious."

Li Shuhua's eyes were moist. Seeing her silly son's happy face, she felt happy too.
