Chapter 208 Luo Dawei is a versatile person...
Chapter 208
Lin Mujin took Weng Nuan to the blacksmith shop, where they customized the iron plate pots.
They can also customize steel panel stoves.
"Weng Nuan, remember, there needs to be a sink next to the stove. There should also be a bellows design to make the fire burn more vigorously."
Lin Mujin said that she only knew some superficial theories, and as for how to design it, it was up to Weng Nuan.
The two of them didn't stay in the blacksmith shop for long, mainly because it was not yet time to customize the goods, and also because they wanted to compare prices from different shops.
The requirements this time were very high, so Lin Mujin excluded Boss Gao first.
He is good at welding some steel plate frames, but he can't do this kind of delicate work.
"Weng Nuan, where else do you want to go?" Lin Mujin asked.
Weng Nuan replied, "I want to see the construction team. I want to go to the construction site."
Lin Mujin didn't expect her to be so demanding. "Let me think about it. If we go to a newly opened residential complex, there must be new houses being renovated. What do you think?"
Weng Nuan nodded, "Okay."
The two of them ran around all afternoon, but their efficiency was not very high.
They found three construction teams, and Weng Nuan found a lot of problems.
Fortunately, she knew how to talk in private, otherwise she would definitely be scolded.
The next day, Lin Mujin didn't want to go out and wanted to find someone to accompany Weng Nuan.
However, Huimei and the food truck are both short of staff, and it seems that she is the most idle, so she should continue to "sacrifice her life for the gentleman".

Lin Mujin pulled Weng Nuan back because someone was beating someone up front, a one-sided beating.
A fierce man in his forties or fifties was beating a young man in his twenties.
He was still cursing, "I provide you with food and shelter, you ungrateful bastard, you slack off when I ask you to do some work..."
Weng Nuan whispered, "They are from the inland."
The person who cursed was speaking Mandarin.
Lin Mujin pulled her back a little and raised her voice, "Sir, over here, I heard someone beating someone!"
The two women looked over and saw that the old man who had been cursing was gone. Only the man who had been beaten was left, grimacing and struggling to stand up.
Weng Nuan took two steps forward. "Are you okay? Do you need to call the police?"
The young man was a little stunned when he heard the Mandarin, but he still shook his head slowly and said, "No need."
Weng Nuan had been a teacher before, so she had a strong sense of responsibility. She pressed on, "Do you owe him money? Why don't you resist?"
The young man laughed sarcastically, "I've already paid off what I owed him. I worked for him for seven years for nothing."
As he said that, he turned around and walked downstairs, "Yeah, I don't owe him anything anymore."
Lin Mujin was simply curious, "Handsome boy, where are you going?"
The young man replied, "Everywhere is my home."
Weng Nuan pulled Lin Mujin's sleeve and said, "Boss, he must be working on the construction team. Look at his trouser legs, they are covered with white paint spots."
Lin Mujin took a look and found that it was true.
Weng Nuan asked tentatively, "Can I take him in?"
Lin Mujin didn't agree immediately. Although she was pitiful, she asked, "Aren't you very demanding?"
Weng Nuan explained, "He just said he worked for seven years for nothing, which means he has a lot of experience, and he's desperate now. Boss, you can bargain with him, and he'll be grateful."
Lin Mujin was a little tempted, "I can give you an interview opportunity."
Weng Nuan was already very happy, "Boss, let's go catch up quickly."
At this time, the two heard the sound of cursing again. It was probably because the young man had not been in for such a long time, and the old man came out to look for him.
Lin Mujin and Weng Nuan unconsciously quickened their pace.
"Wait a minute, handsome boy."
Fortunately, this person did not get on the bus and was just walking slowly on the road, otherwise he would have lost his trace.
The young man stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
Weng Nuan smiled and said, "We'll treat you to milk tea."
The young man was stunned. "I... don't need it."
Weng Nuan had no choice but to explain, "We're looking for skilled decorators. We want to see how your skills are. If you meet our requirements, you can join my team."
The young man asked, "Does it include food and lodging? How much is the monthly salary?"
Lin Mujin replied, "We provide accommodation but not food. We give you a food allowance. The base salary is 2,000 yuan a month, and bonuses are extra. But you have to meet our requirements."
The young man looked delighted. "Okay, how do you see the craftsmanship?"
Lin Mujin took the person to an ice room first.
She saw the young man drooling over the pineapple buns in the diner's hand, so she ordered two for him and a cup of milk tea.
She and Weng Nuan only ordered milk tea.
"Can I eat it?" The young man's voice trembled a little.
Weng Nuan handed it to him directly, "I bought it for you, so of course it's for you to eat."
The young man wolfed down two pineapple buns and drank most of the milk tea in one gulp.
Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Lin Mujin asked, "What's your name? How old are you? Do you have a Hong Kong ID card?"
The young man replied, "My name is Luo Dawei, I'm 22 years old, and I have an ID card."
As he said this, he took it out of his pocket.
Lin Mujin took it and examined it. It was real. "You're from the inland."
Luo Dawei nodded, "He came here illegally. That man is my biological father. He came to Hong Kong illegally a few years ago and left me and my mother behind. Later, something happened at home, and my mother wrote me a letter asking me to come to Hong Kong to find him. I was fifteen at that time, and he took me to work on the construction site. Later, he started doing decoration. He kept all my wages. He married a wife and had children here. I know that he used my money to support the family, and he used his money to buy alcohol..."
Weng Nuan didn't understand. "Then why don't you run away? There's a vast world out there with a lot of potential."
Luo Dawei laughed sarcastically, "Silly, always thinking about how good he was to me when I was a child, and my mother's instructions to me to be more filial to my father, plus I don't have any money..."
Weng Nuan sighed, saying that even an honest official could not judge family affairs.
He looked at Lin Mujin and asked her if she had any other questions.
Lin Mujin asked, "What do you do in the construction team?"
Luo Dawei replied, "I can do everything. I can lay water and electricity, scrape cement and plaster walls, and install doors and windows."
Weng Nuan smiled and said, "I know quite a variety of things."
Lin Mujin praised, "A versatile person."
Luo Dawei spoke frankly, "I won't get beaten. How can I test you? I can't just talk about it."
Lin Mujin looked at Weng Nuan and asked her to think of a solution.
Weng Nuan thought for a moment and came up with an idea. "Boss, let's take Luo Dawei to the building where the construction was yesterday to help out for free. They should agree."
Lin Mujin added, "I won't let you work for nothing. I'll pay you half a day's salary."
She directly took out fifty yuan and said, "You'll have it first."
Luo Dawei didn't answer. "What if I don't do well and you don't want me? You don't have to pay me yet."
Lin Mujin had no choice but to explain, "Whether you pass the interview or not, the money is yours."
Luo Dawei put the money into his trouser pocket, stood up and bowed to them, "Thank you."
