Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Escape Famine, I Have a Treasure Chest So I Don't Panic

One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.

The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.

Before...

Chapter 167 This Machine Is Not a "Chicken"

"Line up! Line up! Anyone who cuts in line will have their place revoked!" Just after noon, a group of people gathered in front of the Xu family's new house.

Although Ah Ji was capable, he couldn't speak as well as so many others. In the end, Xu Ning called out and Ah Ji translated it, and then those people lined up obediently.

Xu Da brought out a set of tables and chairs. Xu Ning sat down and waved to Aji, "Brother Ji, come here, you're the first one! Write your name on it!"

As a result, Xu Ning was also dumbfounded when he saw Ah Ji put pen to paper. It turned out that this machine was not a "chicken"!

Xu Ning had an awkward smile on her face. She had always thought that his name was really the "Ji" (rooster)!

No wonder! Ah Ji’s father was named Wang Che, so why was he named Wang Ji? It turned out to be Wang Ji!

"What's wrong? Is my handwriting too ugly?" Wang Ji saw Xu Ning staring at his name and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"No, no, the handwriting is very neat! Come, Brother Ji, come to the side and help me. When they call out their names, please continue to translate for me!" Although Xu Ning has a translation artifact, it is not easy to use it openly. It is better to keep a little mystery.

The accents of the nearby villages were similar, so Wang Ji found it easy to communicate.

Xu Ning was trying hard to hold back his laughter while listening. These people were actually targeting Aji in order to get close to them.

Xu Ning glanced at Wang Ji and found that his ears were slightly red. He sighed in his heart that he was really a pure and innocent boy!

"Auntie, I don't have the final say here! Besides, I have no plans to get married in the next few years!" Wang Ji refused bluntly. Those who had plans against him did not dare to offend him. After all, he was a translator!

Like the villagers in Xianyu Village, few people in these nearby villages can speak Mandarin, and their language is very difficult to understand.

"Brother Ji, tell them that those who can try out today should stand on the left, and those who can try out tomorrow should stand on the right. We'll try out a batch today first, as the number of places is limited. If the trial goes well today, there won't be as many people needed tomorrow."

As soon as Wang Ji told Xu Ning what he had instructed, those who had originally planned to try out the job tomorrow immediately stood to the left.

Soon, there were too many people on the left to stand, and Xu Ning's hands were tired from writing. She rubbed her wrists and said to Wang Ji: "Brother Ji, let's stop here for today. We'll try again in the afternoon. Let everyone go back first."

"Okay!" Wang Ji nodded and immediately conveyed Xu Ning's words.

"Aji, have we recruited enough people?" The people still in line started to get anxious. Wang Ji immediately reassured them, "That's it for today. We'll have to wait for the results of the trial work this afternoon. We still have spots, don't worry! Our boss wants to build a lot of houses, and they need a lot of stone alone! Don't be discouraged if you don't get selected, there are other jobs. I'll tell you more later!"

Xu Ning wanted people who had experience in building houses because she planned to build a circle of stone houses around the Xu family's home. This was a big project and experience would speed up the process.

And because they are the main labor force, although Xu Ning will not show them the entire blueprint, the personnel must be dispersed.

Wang Ji's father, Wang Che, was the chief engineer, and the others were auxiliary.

Wang Che has already observed the Xu family building a house and found no problems. The main purpose of recruiting them today is to examine whether they have truly learned the materials and whether they will listen to the arrangements.

"Brother Ji, the rest is up to you! If you are too busy, you can find someone else to help, and the wages will be half of yours. And if you have any problems, go to Pei Chen, he will handle it!" After Xu Ning finished speaking, he went in with a pen and paper.

Wang Ji knew Pei Chen, so he nodded in agreement without asking any questions, and then helped Xu Ning move the tables and chairs into the house.

When Wang Ji came out again, those people surrounded him again.

"Aji, is she the lady of this house?"

"Who else is there?"

"Wow, she can actually read!"

"Okay, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
