Not only Hu Wenhua and Butcher Hu couldn't hold back, but no one in Shanshui Village could either!
After hearing Fan Jin explain the wages, he jumped into the boiling oil pot with water, and it immediately exploded!
"Young man, you said one hundred coins a day? You're not mistaken?" That price is outrageously high.
"Are you sure it's not 100 coins a trip?" After all, a trip only takes four or five days, so 20 coins a day is normal.
"Can I go, old man?" He's only fifty-eight this year, not even sixty yet.
“I’m stronger than my husband. Pulling a cart weighing several hundred pounds is no problem for me. Can’t I do it?” My husband is so small, she can take on three of them by herself!
...
Bai Ziqian never expected that a job paying 100 coins a day would almost lead to fierce competition.
Before he arrived, he thought things were not peaceful outside and that these people would not go for their own safety. On the way, he was still thinking about how to persuade them, but he never expected to see this scene before him.
Fan Jin bent down and whispered to Bai Ziqian, "Your father is exceptionally astute when it comes to money. Since he has offered this price, he must believe that he can recruit people."
Bai Ziqian's admiration for his father arose spontaneously, and unconsciously rose to a new level!
Bai Manshan, fast asleep: Hmm, feeling refreshed, I'll roll around and continue sleeping.
Fan Jin straightened his back and explained to the people in front of him, "You all know that things are not very safe outside. This wage includes the risk that you may encounter bandits or get injured. If you have thought it through, tell me."
Zhang Jinniu raised his hand and shouted, "With this wage, I'm more of a bandit than any bandit!"
"What do you mean by insecurity? I'm even more insecure when I'm broke!"
"I've thought it through. I'm not going to say anything more. Count me in."
...
Fan Jin thought of Bai Manshan's words, "The more the merrier," and counted the people in front of him.
With vehicles and their own, the total cost is at most twenty-odd. It's impossible for one person to pull or push a cart all day; it's simply unbearable. At least two or three people need to take turns.
Moreover, while some people were pulling the cart, the others could stand guard with large knives.
Each vehicle requires three people, so it needs eighty or ninety people. There are also more than twenty people in the family. For the villagers of Shanshui Village, each family needs a maximum of two people.
Apart from Zhang the Bald and Uncle Ding's families, he selected two people from each household.
Those who were chosen were very happy, especially those who were satisfied with the two-person share.
Who wouldn't be happy to earn a tael of silver just by going out once!
Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu were happy but slightly dissatisfied.
Second Uncle didn't pull strings and select Dad, Sanzhu, and Sizhu; otherwise, their family could have earned two and a half taels of silver from this one trip alone!
This time, the two maternal uncles did not get any advantage at the second uncle's house. They were forced to give their parents and grandmother a lot of things to send them away.
My parents really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead, making our already impoverished family even worse off.
Second Uncle, why don't you take better care of your own family?
But they dared not show it.
My second uncle always seemed gentle and good-tempered, but in reality, he was much harder to talk to than my parents and didn't know how to be flexible.
Now that I've finally managed to earn a couple of taels of silver to fill the family's financial gaps, I can't afford to offend my second uncle right now.
