Ye Zhou sat by the window, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, and looked out the window.
The sky was clear and blue, the best weather he had had in all the time he had been here.
He could still hear the noise in the supermarket while staying in the lounge.
Since discovering that their own “junk” could be exchanged for goods in the supermarket, the surrounding farmers have gone crazy.
Especially the tribes living in deep mountains and forests and relying on hunting and gathering for their livelihood.
On the second day after the supermarket opened, countless dwarves and elves tribes ran out of the forest. They were dressed like savages and wore animal skins. The things they brought were also particularly "natural". The prey that was smashed to death was a bloody mess, and there was no one to pack it up. A lot of blood dripped on the floor of the supermarket.
Once they were gone, the supermarket employees had something to do.
This world is quite divided. When Ye Zhou saw the kerosene lamp, he thought the steam age was about to begin, but it turned out that there were "barbarians" who ate raw meat and drank blood not far away.
The farmers around here are now exchanging their unused items for non-essentials, such as farm tools and mushroom bags. Ye Zhou thought that the supermarket's fake mushroom bags would not be able to sell, but now it's finally open.
The tribes in the mountains exchanged their prey for necessities and daily necessities, such as oil, salt, sugar, cloth, and medicated oil and mosquito repellent.
But now Ye Zhou wants to see businessmen more, especially big businessmen.
If you want to make money, especially the target amount set by the system, you can’t rely on ordinary civilians.
Although Ye Zhou would rather deal with ordinary civilians - otherwise he would not have opened a supermarket. Wouldn't it be better to open a luxury store?
"Anyone wants to stay?" Ye Zhou looked at Cao'er who came in to report.
Cao'er was busy and sweating. Maybe she was not so scared anymore. Customers coming into the supermarket asked a lot more questions. In addition, the employees had very good attitudes, so the questions became more and more numerous and more and more tricky.
"Yes, they said their village is too far from here, and they wanted to ask if they could stay in the town for a few days and leave after buying things." Cao'er stood upright in front of Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou looked up and suddenly found that Cao'er had grown into a big girl.
Although Cao'er was old enough to be a mother in the Daliang Dynasty when they first met, in Ye Zhou's eyes she was still a girl who had not even graduated from high school. Coupled with her malnutrition, she looked like a junior high school student.
But now, Cao'er has not experienced wind and sun for a long time, and has meat and vegetables every day, and her face has become visibly plumper.
Because he had been with Sarah Cao'er for a long time, his timid temperament was swept away. His back, which was always unconsciously hunched, became straight, and his eyes did not avoid, but looked upright and generous.
Ye Zhou withdrew his gaze, but he was proud and a little complacent in his heart.
The grass has gotten better and will get better and better, and he should have some credit for this.
He finally understood why some people are always so persistent in doing good things. This is what it feels like to give someone a rose and have the fragrance linger on your hands.
Watching the other person get better can give you a strange sense of satisfaction.
"How many people are there?" Ye Zhou asked.
Cao'er: "Sixteen people, all men, elves."
Cao'er thought for a moment and said, "The things they brought to exchange were all game and wild fruits. They arrived this morning, and so far they have only exchanged for some salt and sugar. They haven't exchanged for anything else, but they said they wanted to exchange for some cloth, mushroom bags, and food."
Ye Zhou frowned slightly: "Is there anyone who can spare a hand now?"
The supermarket no longer has enough staff. Not only do they have to maintain the operation of the supermarket, but they also have to patrol the town and maintain order among different races. There don't seem to be many customers, but because there are so many places that need manpower, it is even more tiring than before when the streets of Chen State were deserted.
After all, the State of Chen has its own soldiers, and the Lord of Chen will also let the soldiers help maintain law and order in the supermarket. The employees only need to guide customers in the supermarket.
Cao'er lowered her head: "Not enough."
Now all employees are split into two roles, and they are already too busy to handle everything. Although it is not as tiring as in Chenguo and Luoyang bases, they really cannot spare any time.
Ye Zhou looked at Cao'er and said, "Let's recruit temporary workers from nearby farmers, both men and women are welcome."
"You'll have to run. It'll take some time for you to get through this."
Cao'er said quickly: "How can it be said to be hard to work for an immortal? Don't worry! I will definitely be able to recruit people who are willing to work hard!"
She retreated with a determined and ambitious look on her face.
After leaving the lounge, Cao'er couldn't help but smile. She first took a few customers to the cloth shelves.
These fabrics were all purchased from the system mall. Some were good, some were bad, but most of them were cheap fabrics with large prints.
Although it is unpopular and cheap in Ye Zhou's place, this kind of cloth with large brightly colored prints is very precious here where the dyeing technology is underdeveloped, especially since it doesn't fade easily, so any customer with a little money will squeeze out a little money from their teeth to buy it.
Maybe it was because Cao'er's smile was too obvious. When she went to get some water, Wu's wife asked her, "What's the good news? The smile on your face never fades."
Cao Er coughed lightly and tried to keep a straight face and said, "The immortal asked me to recruit some help."
Wu's wife nodded: "It's a bit too busy. It takes so many people to clean every day, not to mention patrolling and delivering goods."
"Then what are you laughing at?" Wu's wife asked curiously.
Cao Er: "I feel that I can now handle things on my own! Although I'm not as good as Sister Chen and the others, I'm not like before when I could only do ordinary work."
"It's not that there's anything wrong with ordinary work, but my mother said that I must have a skill."
Wu's wife thought about it and felt that this was the truth. She said with some envy: "My brain is not as good as yours. I can only do some cleaning work. You can't ask me to recruit workers."
She sighed. Although they lived under the same roof, she still wanted to hide behind Wu Yan when something happened. Although she wanted to change, she couldn't.
Cao Er comforted her, "Didn't the immortal say that before? Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at."
"You work carefully and do delicate work. It's great. People need to find the right place to put their strength. Otherwise, the strength will be wasted."
"I won't say any more. I'm going to do my work." Cao'er said hello to Wu's wife and ran out at the speed of light.
Wu's wife stood there, staring at Cao'er's back in a daze.
They clearly came in at almost the same time, but Cao'er had changed the most. She looked different from them.
More like the women of the Falling Sun Base.
Wu's wife took a deep breath. She envied Cao'er and didn't understand why she couldn't be like Cao'er.
Is it because she is timid and doesn't have the courage to change?
Or is it because Cao'er is young, so she is more capable of accepting new things and adapting faster?
Wu's wife sighed, put down the cup and went back to work.
·
Cao'er was walking on the path. She was carrying a bag, a gun on her waist, and had her hair tied in a ponytail. The ponytail swayed slightly when she walked, and she looked like a girl next door.
The farmers nearby also knew her, and many of them greeted her when they saw her passing by.
Cao'er was not shy either. She greeted them with a smile on her face and sometimes stopped to talk to them.
"Our shop is a little overwhelmed, so we need to hire some young people, both men and women are welcome." Cao'er said to an aunt, "They need to be quick and clean. The salary will be paid once a month, but I'm not sure how long they can work."
"If you have anyone who is suitable, you can recommend them to me." Cao'er said, "We don't want anyone with dirty hands and feet. If someone has dirty hands and feet, the whole village will be driven away, no matter how capable the others are."
The people in the village quickly gathered around.
Land is limited, taxes must be paid for land reclamation, and with many children in the family, it is difficult to fill their stomachs. However, apart from farming, most of them do not have any skills, and there are young people who go to nearby big towns to find jobs.
But either they were sent back quickly, or there was no news from them after they left.
As time went on, the elders no longer dared to let the young people go out. It would be fine if they were just driven back, but it would be terrible if they were caught and sold as slaves or killed.
Now that I found a job right at my doorstep, and it was such a good job, the people in the village quickly surrounded the grass, making it so crowded that no one could get in or out.
However, Cao'er had to go to another town and couldn't stay here for long. She stayed for half an hour and explained in detail what the temporary workers needed to do and the compensation they could get. In order to facilitate management and allow temporary workers to supervise each other, she also adopted a management model similar to "collective responsibility".
“Is it really that much?!” The farmers could not think of anything else after hearing the salary.
"Two silver coins! One month!" Even the most stable person was almost speechless at this moment.
Cao'er nodded: "Not too many, we'll only hire ten now, and we'll hire more if we're still short of people later."
The farmers shouted in unison: "I have three children! They can all go!"
"Two of my family!"
Someone yelled, "There are seven of us in my family!"
Everyone fell silent and looked towards the person who made the sound.
The man was dressed in rags and had an untidy beard, but he didn't care about the eyes of the crowd at the moment. He squeezed into the crowd, squeezed in front of Cao'er, and said excitedly: "I, my family's seven children, can all work! Can endure hardships!"
Cao'er didn't agree directly. She just said, "Anyway, if there are young people in your family who want to go, you should wait at the city gate before dawn tomorrow morning. Then they will pick someone. Only the best will be picked. Don't complain if you are not picked."
"Those who can read are preferred. Those who cannot read must be smart and smile when they see others. Those who only dare to lower their heads and dare not look at others should not be brought in."
After saying this, Cao'er pushed through the crowd and headed for the next village despite everyone's attempts to persuade her to stay.
No one dared to pull Cao'er away. She looked so different from them. Besides, even if they didn't know that Cao'er had a gun, they believed that she must have some unknown means of self-protection.
Cao'er ran all day and returned to the supermarket after dark, grimacing with exhaustion.
"Brother Zou and the others are back?" As soon as Cao'er entered the supermarket, she heard Zhou Wen say that Zou Ming and Sarah were back.
She walked towards the bathroom, saying as she walked, "I'm going to take a shower and then I'll find Sister Sarah."
Zhou Wen hurriedly chased after her and whispered beside her, "Don't go. The situation is not good. Brother Zou is injured and the immortal is very angry."
Cao'er was shocked: "Is the immortal angry?"
Zhou Wen nodded, and said with lingering fear: "This is also the first time I see an immortal get angry."
“I was almost scared to death.”
Cao'er frowned.
The immortal is angry, how badly must Brother Zou be injured?
