An Liu explained to Brother Hu the prince's idea of recruiting fifty more people, along with their salaries and benefits, but he wanted the kind of honest, hardworking, and lazy people who wouldn't slack off.
Tiger was immediately delighted upon hearing this, as there were plenty of laborers like them.
How many of those who make a living through hard labor are capable of cheating or slacking off?
Those kinds of people don't last long in manual labor.
Tiger happily agreed to Dark Six's request, saying he was willing to help Dark Six recruit this group of people.
When An Liu heard that Brother Hu was willing to help recruit people, he immediately told Brother Hu that he would recruit all the people in half an hour and then have his prince interview them at the soup kitchen.
If you pass the interview, you can start working.
Tiger Brother was worried about the tight schedule when he heard that he had to gather everyone in half an hour.
However, there are still several people here receiving disaster relief supplies, so they can split up and go out to notify them.
"No time like the present," Tiger Brother led Zhang Fan to gather manpower.
An Liu then returned to Ouyang Yuqing and his wife to report back.
Shen Yingying didn't expect that Brother Hu was not only a warm-hearted person but also had a certain influence.
She's willing to help someone who's hardworking and reliable.
Besides, they really don't have nearly enough manpower to go to the northern desert...
Sure enough, half an hour later, Brother Tiger arrived at the porridge stall with forty-nine men in a great hurry.
These laborers toiled under the sun year after year, and they all became tanned dark.
Tiger was not a coy person. He walked up to Ouyang Yuqing and his wife, greeted them, and began to introduce his group of laborers.
"Your Highness, I just heard your subordinates say that they need to gather manpower."
What do you think of my brothers?
Having spent ten years fighting on the front lines, Ouyang Yuqing could tell at a glance that these laborers were all honest and simple.
He kept everyone and explained the treatment to Brother Tiger.
When the people gathered by Tiger heard about the benefits, they were overjoyed.
Not only are three meals a day provided, but after work, you can also get two pounds of fine rice and five liters of water, plus pickled vegetables or seasonal fruits.
The laborers felt they weren't there to work, but to enjoy themselves.
This water...
Five liters! What was there to lack during a famine year?
The primary problem is water scarcity, followed by food shortage.
They wouldn't even dare to dream of vegetables and fruits.
So the laborers felt they were there to enjoy themselves.
Upon hearing about the offer, Tiger immediately agreed to Ouyang Yuqing's request and even volunteered to start work right away.
He said that all he needed to do today was provide them with a full meal.
They no longer hoped for anything else.
Ouyang Yuqing was not the kind of person to mistreat others. He asked Tiger Brother for his full name and then told him about his remaining work and treatment for the day.
After saying this, he let the group of laborers take over from the group of people who were carrying grain and rest.
When Tiger heard Ouyang Yuqing ask his surname, he introduced himself.
It turns out that Brother Tiger's surname is Pang and his given name is Hu. He is nineteen years old and is the only one left in his family. He is unmarried and single.
After introducing himself, Pang Hu also introduced his group of laborers to Ouyang Yuqing.
After Pang Hu finished his introduction, the honest old man led his men to the people working at the soup kitchen to take over their duties.
Shen Yingying watched as Pang Hu led his men to work, and she secretly chuckled to herself.
She thought to herself: Pang Hu—'Fat Tiger'? How interesting!
The larger the disaster relief team, the higher the efficiency of the work.
Even so, the disaster relief efforts for today did not end until the end of the 5-7 PM.
Although it was summer or autumn, it was already dark by this time of year.
Torches had been lit around the soup kitchen. Fearing that some people might not have received relief grain, Ouyang Yuqing told the county magistrate to wait another quarter of an hour.
During this time, Ouyang Yuqing had the yamen runners and laborers prepare their dinner.
After working so hard for so long, everyone is quite tired.
Ouyang Yuqing had these people cook rice, and Shen Yingying hired a horse-drawn carriage to bring in a batch of easily stored vegetables and fruits from outside the city.
