Because Su Qingluan sent back all those who came to register after the specified time, and Liu Yunniang dealt with the unreasonable rogue very efficiently, not to mention that there were a lot of people standing on Su Qingluan's side. Therefore, there were a few people who tried to take advantage of the situation and wanted to register late, but they were all sent back one after another, and no one objected.
On the contrary, they probably really saw that Su Qingluan was determined not to give them any backdoors because of the "favor" of his fellow villagers, so everyone became much more obedient, allowing Su Qingluan to follow orders and direct everyone to act collectively without having to spend a lot of effort to manage discipline.
The first step is naturally to go to the mountains to pick wild fruits.
"Everyone, please pay attention and only pick the ripe fruits of these two wild fruits. You can take out a penny to be specific. Only the fruit particles can cover the fruit the size of a penny like this, and the color must be bright red, oh, like the color of this fruit," Su Qingluan said, passing the "picking samples" prepared in advance to everyone.
In fact, many women often do the work of picking wild fruits and are relatively more skilled, but men's movements are more "crude". When picking, they either tear off the sepals at the bottom of the fruit together with the peel, or they crush the whole fruit, and the juice flows out all over their hands.
Therefore, Su Qingluan had to emphasize again and again: "Don't throw away rotten fruits, don't throw away unripe fruits, don't throw away fruits that are not big enough," and focus on strict screening.
In fact, the main workload today is not very large. Su Qingluan's primary goal is to make these people familiar with the terrain and clarify the criteria for screening the fruits next.
Su Qingluan thought that since these people could work for a little girl like her, yawning in the morning and braving the increasingly cold autumn wind, they must really want to make money, so as long as they were paid enough, they would definitely work hard.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Those families who were truly poor and worried about surviving the winter were almost all out, bringing their elderly and children with them. If Su Qingluan hadn't persuaded four or five elderly people in their seventies and eighties and three children who were only five or six years old and couldn't even walk steadily, and hadn't strictly limited the age range, these families would have wanted to send their newborn babies to make up the number.
Of course, every time Su Qingluan assigned a task to these companies, they were always the first to rush to the front and work the hardest.
But then again, working hard and working safely are two different things.
However, Su Qingluan has her own set of screening criteria: those who are efficient at work and can complete instructions immediately, Su Qingluan makes them the "group leaders" of each group; those who just work hard but are not efficient are regarded as "team members". Of course, those who do not complete the tasks well will be screened out - but there are not many of them.
Of course, when they learned they were rejected, they grumbled and were very reluctant, especially when they saw that each person had earned a hundred coins for their hard work that day.
You know, just by being "scrutinized", one can earn a hundred coins a day, which is equivalent to the income of an ordinary temporary worker for almost ten days.
However, there are some wealthy families who are generous, so one hundred coins a day is considered generous, but not outrageous.
But this can also prove one thing from the side - if this is the case for those who were eliminated, then those who can officially stay can't earn more?
Thinking of this, the few people who were eliminated immediately became unwilling to give in. They threw a tantrum and tried to make Su Qingluan give in.
But Su Qingluan was not a soft persimmon to be easily bullied. At the beginning, she would try to persuade him in a gentle tone and reason with him.
Seeing they were completely unmoved, he sneered, "Here, we only look at ability, not personal connections! If you do your job well, you'll get more money. If you don't do your job well but are serious, you'll get less, but you can still learn and improve over time. But if you don't do your job well and your attitude is perfunctory, do I have to pay to support you?"
Seeing that those people were still unconvinced, and some even wanted to rush towards Su Qingluan, Liu Yunniang unconsciously wanted to protect Su Qingluan, but was stopped by a look from her.
Su Qingluan faced the troublemakers without blinking, "Why, do you want to make trouble here? Do you think a hundred coins are too much, and it would be best not to give a cent?"
This sentence seemed to have magical power. These people seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand, and then they all became very honest in an instant.
This made Su Qingluan sigh - sometimes "money" really can control people, but she couldn't be happy at all, she just wanted to sigh.
The remaining people who were left behind secretly breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, even if they could not complete the assigned tasks very quickly and efficiently, they were at least "obedient" enough, which allowed them to get what looked like very good jobs.
Thinking back that those who were eliminated could receive 100 Wen every day, the remaining people seemed to be energized and were ready to work hard.
However, Su Qingluan did not want everyone to work at full capacity today - not to mention that everyone's skills were particularly unfamiliar today, and the fruits picked were visibly oddly shaped, broken and damaged, and were obviously unusable.
So Su Qingluan thought that since it was still early, she might as well give everyone some "pre-job training", otherwise they would not be able to harvest suitable fruits and the production of fruit jam could not proceed to the next step.
But before that, Su Qingluan had to divide the remaining people into several groups.
She had previously selected five "team leaders," and there were exactly twenty-five "team members." Su Qingluan had initially worried about the difficulty of arranging the team members if the numbers were uneven, but now that was no longer a problem.
Su Qingluan did not intend to teach everyone at once - that would take forever.
She first gathered several "team leaders" together, gathered all the fruits for the day, and categorized them to tell everyone which ones were qualified and which ones were not. She also repeatedly explained to them how to use force when picking the fruits without damaging the skin and flesh.
Then, each of the team leaders led their own team members to pick a kind of black berry nicknamed "Starry Sky" on the roadside. This berry was much smaller than the wild fruits they picked, and if they were not careful, the flesh inside would flow out. What's more, this wild fruit grew in dense clusters, so it was more difficult to pick than the previous two wild fruits.
But once she had become proficient in collecting this kind of "difficult" wild fruit, Su Qingluan believed that it would not be a problem for her to also be proficient in picking the target wild fruit.
