After all, he is the boss, and Ye Zhou never thought of compromising himself when decorating the room. It is called a lounge, but it is actually his office, but the area is larger than that of an ordinary office. The whole room is divided into two halves, one half is the office area and the other half is the rest area.
The office area has bookcases, tables and chairs, the rest area has a microwave, lazy sofas and single beds, and there is a shower room that is slightly more complete than the security room.
Ye Zhou sat down in front of the computer desk, and the computer that had been turned off suddenly turned on.
He moved the mouse slightly and the computer screen lit up automatically.
There were a few lines of light grey words on the black page - very dark:
“Supermarket employee: 2/10”
"Supermarket security: 0/8"
"Supermarket profit: 0"
"Supermarket points: 0"
At the bottom was a row of red characters, darker than the gray characters, and bright red—
“Please hire enough staff and open the business as soon as possible.”
There are two lines of small words under the red words.
"One hundred sales can be exchanged for one point, and one hundred points can be used for a single plane jump."
“The cash register can automatically exchange currency.”
Ye Zhou was silent for a few seconds. He said to the computer, "How can I open a business without any business? And how come there are only two employees? Did they agree to it before you counted them in?"
But the computer is obviously not artificial intelligence. No matter what Ye Zhou says, the computer is still that computer.
There was no response.
Ye Zhou couldn't get anything out of the question, so he could only cross his arms and stare at the screen. He didn't care about anything else, but the two lines of small words at the bottom that said that one hundred points would allow a single plane jump...
This means that he can still go back, back to his original world.
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. This was good news. Having a way to go was better than running around like a headless fly.
And the mother and daughter were counted as employees probably because he arranged for them to stay in the staff lounge.
The key problem lies not with the employees but with the security guards.
Employees can be old, weak, sick or disabled and they do not pose much threat to him, but security guards obviously cannot be old, weak, sick or disabled, otherwise they will be of no use if they really encounter robbers.
But guarding a supermarket, wouldn’t the security guard be tempted?
By then, let alone protecting the supermarket, he would be lucky if Ye Zhou wasn't beaten to death.
Ye Zhou pushed the chair away and stood up. He felt that he couldn't think of anything if he stayed in the lounge, so he might as well go to the security room to kill insects and disinfect, thinking while working.
After cleaning the security room, Ye Zhou ran to the back door of the supermarket. He threw away his shower cap and raincoat, diluted the insecticide with water, and washed his hair. Although he didn't know if it was useful or would damage his hair, at least he felt a lot more at ease.
Lice are small creatures that spread quickly and reproduce quickly.
When Ye Zhou was a child, he went back to his hometown and rolled around in a mud pond with several cousins. When he got home, he was not only given a good meal of fried pork on a bamboo board, but also caught lice. It was not known whether they were from his cousins or from the mud pond, but it left a huge psychological trauma on Ye Zhou.
He is not afraid of snakes and spiders, but he is afraid of lice.
Back in the supermarket, Ye Zhou finally came up with a solution.
People have to be recruited. He can't stay here forever. He has to earn money and go home.
If you want to recruit people and ensure your own safety, there is only one reliable way - to play tricks.
He went around the supermarket several times and put all the magic props into the cabinet in his office.
This was the inspiration he got from the mother and daughter calling him "immortal".
They were afraid of him, yearning for him and fearing him at the same time.
Fear is not a bad thing. Only those who fear him will not betray him.
But you can't be a bad person who makes people grit their teeth.
If Ye Zhou wants to recruit people to open a supermarket here, he cannot think of himself as the boss and think that it is enough to negotiate the salary and rules and regulations with the employees.
Instead, think of yourself as a manager with a stick in your left hand and honey in your right hand.
But no matter how much he thought about it, it seemed to be of no use. He had been here for many days before he met the mother and daughter.
Still want to recruit people? You can't even recruit a bird, so where will you find customers if you have recruited enough people?
That night, Ye Zhou stared at the ceiling with his eyes open until the late night when he fell asleep.
——
Cao'er slept soundly. She and her mother had never slept on such a soft bed. When they were at home, they slept on the floor with a straw mat. Several people in the family were crowded in one room, and the straw mat had to be taken out and beaten every day, otherwise it would be crawling with insects.
At night, you can also hear the sound of mice rustling around looking for food.
She still remembered that a rat had bitten her nails and a piece of flesh off. If she hadn't woken up from the pain, she would probably have lost that finger.
But there are no mice here. The square little house is windproof and rainproof, and it is much cooler than outside. You even need to cover yourself with a thin quilt when sleeping to avoid feeling cold.
This quilt is clean, fragrant and light.
Cao'er closed her eyes and whispered to her mother, "Mother, the ladies in the palace don't sleep as well as we do?"
Cao'er's mother sat next to her daughter. Although there were two beds, they did not sleep separately.
She patted her daughter's back, just like she did when she was little: "I don't know about that mother, but I heard that the beds of the ladies are all made of gold."
In their imagination, life in the emperor's family should be that the Queen Mother of the West Palace eats pancakes and the Queen Mother of the East Palace eats green onions.
Cao'er curled herself up into a ball, her head buried in her mother's arms. She whispered, "A bed made of gold is not as good as the one we sleep on."
Cao'er's mother touched her daughter's bald head and said, "Go to sleep."
In fact, Cao'er didn't want to sleep, nor did she dare to sleep, for fear that this was all a dream.
But she was too tired, and after drinking some water and eating some food, she clearly wanted to speak, but before she opened her mouth, she fell asleep in a daze.
When Cao'er's mother saw her daughter fall asleep, she closed her eyes and fell asleep too.
The sky was bright, but unfortunately there was neither rooster crowing nor bird singing.
It's very quiet, dead quiet.
When Cao'er woke up, she didn't open her eyes immediately. Like every morning, she reached out to touch her mother's body. As long as there was still warmth, it meant she was still alive. As long as she was alive, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao'er was thinking dazedly that he had to go deeper into the woods today, maybe he could find some water.
It would be fine if we couldn’t find them. The fortune teller said that everyone has their own destiny. Even if the mother and daughter died today, it was destined.
"Cao'er?" Cao'er's mother sat up and grabbed her daughter's hand. There seemed to be a little blush on her dark face. She looked out the window excitedly. The sunlight came in. The scorching, hateful sunlight became gentle at this moment.
Cao'er finally came to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and the snow-white roof came into view. The round lamp was still embedded in the wall.
"Mom! Mom!" Cao'er reached out to touch her head; it was bald!
"It's not a dream, it's not a dream, mother!"
Cao'er's mother nodded desperately: "It's not a dream!"
Just as the mother and daughter were hugging each other and crying, Ye Zhou, who was standing at the door, didn't know whether he should knock on the door.
He stood at the door for a while, but decided to wait until they had cried enough.
After the wailing sound from inside the door disappeared, Ye Zhou cleared his throat and knocked on the door.
After breakfast, Ye Zhou spent two hours digging out what they knew.
In fact, nothing was found.
Compared to him who is a time traveler, they both look more like time travelers.
They only knew that it was the Liang Dynasty and nothing else. They didn't know who the emperor was or who the empress was.
When talking about the emperor, he is the emperor; when talking about the landlord, he is the landlord.
Ye Zhou felt that he would become an "immortal master" one day.
They don't even know which state, county or county their hometown is in.
I only remember that there was a river in my hometown and a mountain behind the river.
"The soil and water have been bad these years." Cao'er's mother lowered her head and said, "At the beginning of the year, the head of the family said that this year would be dry."
"We thought, no matter how dry it gets, it won't get that bad. We still have the river. If the river runs out of water, we can just go to the mountains to fetch water."
"As a result, the locust plague came just as summer began. All the crops, both ripe and unripe, were gone. We couldn't survive with the little food we had."
"We saw that the landlords had all fled, so we packed up and set off. They all said we were going to the south, where the soil and water are good and there is no shortage of land."
"Later...more people fled, more people came to rob food, and more bandits appeared. The villages without city walls were robbed by the bandits, and the towns and cities with city walls would not let us in."
"There are people starving to death on the road..."
Her voice became hoarse and she finally couldn't continue.
Cao'er continued, "There are a lot of people around here. Many old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't walk are outside. They just don't dare to come in because they are afraid of big insects!"
Ye Zhou: “…”
I think they didn't come in because they knew this place had been stripped bare, so they might as well wait on the road and see if they could ask for or snatch some food from people passing by.
Cao'er glanced at Ye Zhou cautiously, and then quickly lowered her head after just one glance.
She had never seen a man like this before, and she had never been to school, but she was willing to use all the beautiful words she knew to describe him.
He has a pair of eyes that are more beautiful than the night sky, which makes people have to look away immediately, otherwise they will be sucked into those eyes.
His eyebrows, his lips, his exposed arms and fingers, every part of them was beautiful.
Like a person made of jade.
Cao'er saw her own hands.
Short and thick, with skin like dry land, her eyes turned red for a moment, and then she put her hands behind her back.
Then she thought about her head again.
But the hands can hide, but the head cannot.
She shrank back, having never felt so ugly in her life.
Ye Zhou didn't know what Cao'er was thinking, he didn't even pay attention to her.
He thought for two seconds and then said, "I still need some people here. Can you come with me in a couple of days?"
It was not easy for him to go out because he was out of place with the refugees. They were as thin as skeletons, with dark and cracked skin, while he was strong and healthy. His skin was not considered white in modern times, but compared with the refugees, it was glowing white.
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for him to attract people without anyone paying attention.
You might even be robbed as soon as you go out.
Although he is old, weak and sick, he is alone and two fists are no match for four hands.
In particular, he is very self-aware and knows that he is not a person who can harden his heart.
Maybe he would just give up the supermarket out of pity.
Cao'er's mother immediately said, "Just give me your orders, Immortal."
"We will do whatever the immortal tells us to do!"
Ye Zhou told her his requirements in detail: "We need eight men. It doesn't matter if they are thin. We can't find strong ones now. But they must have families. And there can't be too many family members. There can't be more than three people other than him."
When there is family around, there are concerns.
Those who have not abandoned their families while fleeing famine should still have a conscience and be more timid.
They would rather want a stable life than murder and robbery.
Ye Zhou now wants to add layer upon layer of insurance for himself.
He has to go home alive and live his life!
He hasn't made any money yet and hasn't taken good care of his parents. He can't die here.
