Chapter 37: You can get two taels of reward for digging manure for a day?



Cai Junze was wandering around the street.

At this time, a middle-aged man came to him and said, "Sir, it seems that you are looking for a job, right?"

Cai Junze nodded, looked at the other person, and asked, "Who are you and what's going on?"

The middle-aged man said, "My name is Xu Dafu, and I'm a hired gun in the county. I have some errands and am in need of help. I wonder if you would be willing to give it a try?"

Cai Junze crossed his arms over his chest and said, "That depends on what it is and how much the reward is. If it's not something, I'm willing to do it."

The middle-aged man then threw out a few jobs and stated the requirements and remuneration.

Basically, they are all very ordinary jobs and the remuneration is also ordinary.

There was only one job that paid a very high salary and attracted Cai Junze.

"Why is the reward for digging manure so high?" he was very curious.

Xu Dafu said seriously, "This employer has always had an eccentric personality. He can offer high or low wages for any job he wants. In short, the level of the reward depends entirely on his mood."

"You can get two taels of silver for digging manure for a day. Is this a scam?" Cai Junze was skeptical.

"No, no!" Xu Dafu waved his hands. "This isn't the first time I've dealt with this employer. He's a bit eccentric, but he always delivers on his promises. If I say two taels, it means two taels."

After a pause, he continued, "I just received the job posting. It only requires two people, and we need to be there to start work within half an hour. Time is a bit tight. Would you like to consider it, sir?"

"If you don't consider it, I'll look for someone else. As far as the reward is concerned, I believe this job will be very popular."

Digging manure, you can get two taels of silver a day, and it only takes two people...

Such a job will indeed be in high demand!

Although Cai Junze hesitated, he was really afraid that if he thought too much, he would miss the opportunity. After all, the number of places was limited. So, after just a moment's thought, he agreed: "Okay, I'll take this job!"

Isn’t it just digging manure?

Although he felt that this kind of job was a bit disgusting, he no longer cared about the disgusting job of digging manure since he could earn two taels of silver in a day.

Who made him short of money now?

Besides, it is so difficult to find a job that pays two taels of silver at once!

He naturally didn't want to miss it since he had finally come across it!

As for the weirdness...

Of course he had thought about it, but as Yazi said, the employer was a weird person, so it made sense that he could do such an outrageous thing, right?

Then, I followed him.

On the way, Xu Dafu recruited another person.

This also made Cai Junze feel a little relieved...

It’s great to go with someone!

Save yourself from being cheated easily!

As it turned out, the place they were going to was not in the city, but in a village outside the city!

"Is the employer from the village?"

He felt something was wrong.

How can the villagers afford to hire someone to dig out manure?

How could they be willing to spend money to hire someone to dig out manure?

The key point is that the reward is still two taels!

Xu Dafu said, "Of course the employer is from the city. We are going to his hometown in the countryside. The manure pit in his hometown has not been dug for a long time, so we want to ask for help to dig it out."

Cai Junze still felt strange. "Since my hometown is in the countryside, why not just ask the neighbors in the village for help? Why go to the city to ask for help?"

Are you worried about having money but nowhere to spend it?

I've never seen such a rich man!

Xu Dafu explained, "Didn't I just say that my employer has a strange personality? He always does things this way. Anyway, just go and get the job done, and don't worry about these things."

Cai Junze thought about it and felt that it made sense. As long as he could get the money, why bother about so many things?

So, I didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he finally stopped asking questions, Xu Dafu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after, they arrived at their employer's hometown in the village.

This old home looks no different from the surrounding farmhouses, except that there is no one there.

But, it seems that there are people living here normally, just not here today.

I guess, because they need to dig a manure pit, everyone has to take shelter somewhere else temporarily?

"What about the employer?"

Cai Junze looked left and right, but didn't see anyone, so he asked.

"Not yet."

Xu Dafu said, "Just finish the work first. The employer will come over when it's time to settle the bill. Don't worry, he won't refuse to pay."

The man who came with him took the tools and started digging the manure without saying a word.

Looking at the dark, dirty, smelly cesspool, Cai Junze couldn't help but cover his nose, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Dafu urged, "If it doesn't work, I'll change someone."

"Okay! I can do it!" Everyone is here, and for the sake of reward, I have to do it even if I can't!

Cai Junze also quickly took the tools, followed the other person's example, endured all kinds of physical discomfort, and started working.

Xu Dafu nodded and said, "Just dig slowly here. Don't be lazy. If you don't finish digging by the time, you won't get paid."

After giving a few instructions, he left, saying he was going to recruit people for another employer.

In the yard, only Cai Junze and his "colleague" named Lu Baogen were left.

When Xu Dafu was supervising, Lu Baogen seemed to be quite diligent.

As a result, as soon as Xu Dafu left, Lu Baogen began to slack off openly.

Cai Junze originally hoped that if he worked harder, he would do more, so that he could do less. However, he never expected that this guy's diligence was just for Xu Dafu to see.
