"Yes, I understand, brother-in-law. Xiaolan mentioned it in her letter to me."
"That's good. I was originally thinking that if you wanted to study in the provincial capital, I could support you going there. Firstly, it would keep Xiaolan company, and secondly, it would help you improve yourself. I've always hoped that you young people would study more; it's beneficial for you."
"Haha, brother-in-law, you're calling us young people. You're only a few years older than me."
Wang Tianxiao was taken aback, realizing that he had fallen into his old age trap again and started lecturing the young man.
He chuckled awkwardly in the darkness, saying that he was already twenty-six and that a girl like Mi Xiaoqing, who was eighteen or nineteen, was indeed a young person, but he secretly laughed to himself.
Motorcycles sped along the provincial highway.
The man smiled faintly.
The girl's long hair was blown by the night breeze and scattered in the night sky.
.
In late July, the weather in Qingcheng finally reached its hottest point.
Based on everyone's experience, the time for both herbs to mature has finally arrived.
It looks like it'll only take a few days.
Wang Tianxiao plans to return to the village and gather another group of people as labor for the harvest.
With the publicity from the previous thirty-odd people, the recruitment became much simpler. Wang Tianxiao originally estimated that he needed about one hundred people, but after the news was released, two or three hundred people came without the team leader's notification.
It was larger than a regular small meeting.
Wang Tianxiao stood on a small mound of earth, looking at the bustling crowd below. He didn't rush to speak, letting everyone continue arguing for a while.
When you're emotionally agitated, it's impossible to discuss or communicate things.
If they like to make a fuss, let them make a fuss to their heart's content.
Finally, everyone noticed that Wang Tianxiao was just staring at them without saying a word, and they gradually quieted down.
They all looked at Wang Tianxiao, waiting for him to speak.
Wang Tianxiao smiled and first thanked everyone for coming, then briefly explained the work tasks and the number of people needed.
When everyone heard that only one hundred people were needed, they immediately became a little nervous.
Two or three people can only choose one.
"First of all, I have a shop in the city and I need a few employees. Their main task is what you call standing behind the counter. They may also need to do some small jobs like promotion. The monthly salary is one hundred yuan..."
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I can do it."
"Me too."
"Tianxiao, what do you think of me? You don't know me, do you? I'm very capable at work. Let me go."
"I think you should just give up. Have you ever been to the city?"
Wang Tianxiao gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Listen to me. This job requires at least ten hours a day, but you can take turns resting if there's nothing else to do. Weekends are usually the peak season for the shop, so you can't rest on weekends either. However, you'll receive an extra ten yuan per day as a bonus for the weekends..."
"Is there really such a good thing?" Some people were a little skeptical. If you calculate it like this, it would be quite a lot in a month, almost two hundred yuan.
The income from working yourself to the bone in the village for half a year.
"The income is decent, but it's also hard work. I'm letting you know upfront, and you might not have heard me clearly, but this job currently requires you to come to work every day. You can take leave if you want, but only one day a week at most. Work is work, and you can't leave unless it's absolutely necessary. So if you have a lot of things to do at home that you can't get away from, I think it's best not to try it for now."
Wang Tianxiao works a six-day work week here, but he receives overtime pay on weekends.
This is already considered very good treatment in this day and age.
Because in this era, no matter what you do, you basically don't get a break. If you absolutely have to rest, it means you won't get paid for that day.
He came from the future and did his best to provide good welfare and treatment to the people he recruited.
Make them wholeheartedly devoted and very happy to work.
Of course, compared to the nine-to-five jobs of later generations, he hasn't considered it yet, not because he can't afford it, but because he wants to fit the overall atmosphere of this era.
People are inherently lazy; running a business and hiring employees is not charity.
If you set the conditions to the most lenient level all at once, it won't actually make employees cherish the job; instead, they'll see it as a rip-off.
Human nature is inherently selfish.
People never cherish things that are easily obtained.
With this time limit set, it seems that fewer people are shouting, but not by much.
After all, that income is just too tempting.
However, Wang Tianxiao also had requirements: "In addition, there are two other requirements for this job. The first is that you need at least a junior high school education, and the second is that you must pay attention to your appearance on a daily basis."
These two conditions caused quite a stir among the crowd.
Soon, people started shouting, "Why do we need a degree? Does being illiterate mean we can't work?"
Some people say that everyone dresses casually on a daily basis and still lives a good life.
There are also requirements regarding appearance; the standards are a bit demanding.
Wang Tianxiao also provided an explanation for this.
Selling things in the city is different from selling things in the countryside. In the countryside, it's mostly familiar agricultural products, the prices are small, the quantities are relatively simple, and unexpected situations are rare.
However, to sell things in the city, especially food, you need certain knowledge to handle unexpected situations. You definitely can't do it without some education.
Secondly, paying attention to one's image is also quite important.
In the village, everyone is used to it and doesn't care, but if you're in the city, or even in a busy downtown area, if you dress haphazardly, not only will no one buy your things, but you might even be looked down upon.
