Wang Tianxiao actually had an even bigger idea: whether it was planting medicinal herbs or raising livestock in the future, he would need some people.

He certainly can't handle it all himself, so what can we do? We definitely need to select from these people.

Right now, we're in the testing grounds.

Whoever stands out can be used by him.

Even if we don't become extremely wealthy, living a life of luxury is certainly not difficult in this era.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, watching everyone below gradually get into work. A mountain breeze blew in his face, bringing a refreshing coolness, which was very pleasant.

He was also filled with boundless pride.

This is his mountain, his testing ground.

After more than half a year of hard work, the harvest season has finally arrived.

After watching for a while, Wang Tianxiao rode his bicycle to town, bought half a pig, and also bought several boxes of cigarettes and some liquor wholesale.

At the end of the day, he would give each household a pack of cigarettes, some pork, and some wine to take home.

Money is money, this is an extra bonus.

This doesn't cost much money, and it can improve your image in everyone's eyes, boost their enthusiasm for work, and actually improve everyone's lives.

Many of the people who came today are from families so poor that they can't afford meat all year round.

Being able to earn some meat to take home after working here will definitely make me very happy, and it will also motivate me to work harder next time.

Li Yali prepared the lunch.

Old man Liu Yuan was also helping Li Yali start the fire.

With over thirty people, plus the original staff at the station, it would take cooking for over forty people. Even though Wang Tianxiao brought back some cold dishes, there was still a lot to cook.

I just stir-fried glass noodles with cabbage and sliced ​​meat, and it made a whole big bowl of it.

This is stir-fried with pork, and it contains large slices of fatty meat.

People in this era didn't eat meat like people in later generations. They only liked to eat lean meat and basically didn't want fatty meat, at most using it to make braised pork or something similar.

Nowadays, people don't eat much meat, but the fat in pork is the part that truly gives it its aroma, and working people love to eat the fat the most.

It's all white and delicious, and it tastes great.

Fortunately, it's currently peak season for many vegetables.

In early spring, Li Yali cleared out a small vegetable plot of about three or four acres around the station, where she planted cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, peppers and other common vegetables.

Now, the vegetables have been harvested in abundance.

If you want to eat something, just go to the vegetable garden and pick it yourself.

Cucumber salad, steamed eggplant, spinach and egg soup—everything was served in a large bowl.

It's hot, so I'm not afraid of not being able to eat it if it gets cold.

After everything was ready, with Liu Yuan's help, Wang Tianxiao moved all the tables to the open space outside, covered them with a tarpaulin, and then moved all the dishes out. Each dish was divided into two portions so that people on both sides could eat.

They also prepared towels and water for everyone to wash their faces in advance.

Around 11 a.m., everyone returned from work. The temperature in the mountains was very high, and everyone's faces were red from the sun, making them feel a bit listless.

But once we got onto the platform at the station and saw all the food that had been prepared, we immediately felt much cooler.

Some people who haven't eaten much good food are even starting to drool.

After everyone washed their faces, they didn't stand on ceremony and took the steamed buns directly from the basket to eat with gusto.

Li Yali enthusiastically served soup to everyone, urging them to eat slowly and that they could continue cooking if needed.

Wang Tianxiao opened two bottles of wine, telling everyone to drink a little to relax, and then they could have a good drink after finishing their work in the afternoon.

Everyone thinks this is a good idea.

It was a lively and fun time; everyone enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere was very vibrant.

Everyone exclaimed that Wang Tianxiao was really great, providing such a good opportunity for everyone to earn money and eat good food.

You can even drink alcohol and smoke good cigarettes.

I never dreamed that I could live such a good life right at my doorstep.

Wang Tianxiao confidently told everyone that if they worked hard, there would be many more things to do.

However, it also subtly conveyed the possibility of being eliminated if one does not perform well.

Everyone understands.

We're all just workers. Whoever does a good job will definitely have a chance, and whoever doesn't do a good job will definitely not be wanted.

Those who are truly cunning and deceitful, and who try to pass themselves off as competent, would not be in this team.

"Everyone, as you can see, there's work all over this mountain waiting to be done. However, even though there's work to be done across this entire mountain, we can't guarantee that everyone can come and work here. Therefore, we definitely need to evaluate all the workers."

“Uncle Tianxiao, we all know this. You don’t even need to tell us. If we don’t work hard, not only will we not deserve the money, but we will also be letting down these good white flour buns.”

"Haha, that's right, Tianxiao, don't worry. Don't you know us? We're not the kind of people who don't work hard. You let us come first, which means you think highly of us. You're treating us to good food, drinks, and meat. If we still don't work hard after all this, what kind of people are we?"

“That’s right, my dear nephew Tianxiao, you can rest assured. Let me make this clear: everyone here is my junior. If anyone doesn’t work properly, not only will Tianxiao disagree, but I will be the first to disagree.”

Yes, yes, yes.

"..."

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Wang Tianxiao smiled and nodded.

"That's good. I'm a straightforward person and I always speak my mind. I treat you all sincerely, and you treat me well, so we can stay together for a long time. Many of you are my brothers and sisters from the same clan. I don't want to say too much. Come on, it's all in the wine."
