Chapter 321: Chain Reaction in Laohu Town



As the Qiao family held such a large-scale recruitment activity for three consecutive days, some were curious, some were watching, and those who were eager to try were like crucian carp crossing the river.

At one time, a large number of outsiders poured into Laohu Town, bringing a lot of opportunities for the villagers to make money.

The Qiao family's vegetable garden has seen its shipments surge several times in recent days.

Under the influence of the Qiao family, Wang Dagui's homestay has expanded again and again, and has become one of the largest homestays in Laohu Town.

Wang Dagui's family has changed from "eating whatever is available today" to "eating whatever is available today".

The first thing Deng did every morning when she woke up was to pray to the gods and pray that the old lady would live a long life. This way, the Wang family could continue to eat meat and drink soup with the kind-hearted Qiao family.

Her son now has a promising future with the eldest master, and her husband works with the third master, and is even more like a liberated serf. He and his mother-in-law hired a dozen married women to run the B&B.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for women to go out and do business. However, in Laohu Town, thanks to Qiao Xin's protection, more and more women have gone out of their homes to do business and set up stalls to support their families. No one dares to point fingers at them or make irresponsible remarks.

The villagers who followed Qiao Xin to rebuild Laohu Town have already escaped poverty and become well-off.

Li Zhong, who had been promoted to the rank of Zhenting, was unwilling to move to the official residence planned for him by his superiors.

County Magistrate Fan was not angry, and he re-granted land next to Laohu Town to accommodate the new villagers.

Although the treatment of the newly assigned villagers is not as good as that of the original residents of Laohu Town, it is still a hundred times better than that of other places.

Those villagers who had escaped from Hunshui Village finally got their chance and found work in the Qiao family.

I don't ask for the same treatment as those old employees, but because the Qiao family doesn't delay wages, provides food and accommodation, and doesn't bully people, as long as I can be hired, even if the salary is low, I can save food for my family and don't have to worry about personal safety.

More importantly, as long as you work hard and don't be lazy, you can really learn skills here. Even if you don't work for Qiao's family in the future, with this little skill, you can still find a job somewhere else quickly.

There were too many outsiders coming, and Fan Jihuai and Li Zhong were worried that something might go wrong, so they sent a dozen yamen runners to maintain order.

The elderly men and women in the village, after hanging out with the Qiao family for a while, have broadened their horizons.

Soon, a big pot was set up at the entrance of the village, and water was boiled. A little bit of coarse salt and brown sugar were added to it.

They sold two bowls for one penny.

In fact, they would rather sell boiled water directly. Brown sugar is so expensive, and salt is not cheap either.

But these things were provided to them for free by the Qiao family boys.

After the water boils, go to the stall over there and ask the big brother to come, and the servants of the Qiao family will come and sprinkle some brown sugar and salt directly into the pot.

The reason for this is to avoid the situation where someone secretly takes it down.

Li Zhong started to lecture these uncles and aunts early in the morning.

"Do your best and stop doing those crooked things. If you are discovered by the guests, I will report it to the whole town and give points as I did yesterday. In the future, if there are any good things, your family will not get any share. Do you still have the nerve to do that?"

The money you earned was supposed to be kept for your retirement, but the Qiao family doesn't want it, and the town doesn't deduct taxes, so what else are you not satisfied with?

Don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. If you are really kicked out in the future, you will cry."

The old lady took the initiative to speak: "Mayor, don't worry, we are different from those people yesterday. We will not do such shameless things as cutting materials."

"We can't afford to lose this person just for these little things. If the Qiao family thinks that we are dishonest and don't let our children work in the workshop in the future, that would be a loss!"

"Good to know!"

This job was originally assigned to some elderly people in Hunshui Village who were in financial difficulty, but unfortunately they did not have the strong sense of responsibility of the original residents of Laohu Town.

Many people withheld the salt and brown sugar distributed by the Qiao family, and some even refused to give them.

We all bought the same amount of water, but some of them had a taste and some didn't. When we compared them while chatting, we found out the trick.

Naturally, those who drink plain water will not be happy.

When he called Lele out in public, he was immediately discovered by the servants of the Qiao family.

After checking, they found the cause and reported it to Li Zhong immediately.

As for the issue of principle, Li Zhong knew that the Qiao family did not like to smooth things over, so he would handle it as he saw fit.

Since they turned a deaf ear to the rules he emphasized beforehand, and then they thought about escaping punishment by not punishing everyone. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Between protecting the villagers with bad behavior and offending the Qiao family, even a fool would know which one to choose.

After hearing the report, Qiao Dalang said, "We will continue tomorrow. Those who followed the rules yesterday will stay. Since the remaining seats are not wanted by others, let's give them to the grandparents in the village."

Li Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away." Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Does the old lady have any other arrangements?"

He didn't have to ask about Qiao Xin's news, but the old lady had left Laohu Town for so long that he seemed to have lost his backbone and could not make any decisions.

"Not yet, but Uncle Li will have to worry about the farming next time. Grandmother said we should just follow the rules of previous years.

We are not deploying the young and strong men in the village this time, not because we don't think highly of them, but because we need to leave enough manpower for us.

Firstly, the college is here, so we have to consider safety issues. Secondly, our several workshops are here, so we must have someone trustworthy to help look after them.

We are busy all year round, so there is really no need to leave our hometown to make a living."

Li Zhong couldn't close his mouth after hearing that, and he kept laughing.

"I understand. The old lady is very thoughtful!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Li and Manager Cao to take care of it from now on."

After seeing Li Zhong off, Xu Can and Guan Jianze came over again.

Ever since Qiao Sanlang said that in public, there has been an endless stream of people coming to inquire about the news.

Xu Can looked at the three brothers of the Qiao family meaningfully and said, "Tell me the truth, what exactly are you planning?

You, Qiao Sanlang, have a lot of tricks in your mind, how come you are so careless and say anything, and what you say is such important information."

Qiao Sanlang glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "Don't say such harsh words. What bad intentions could I have?"
