Volume 2 Chapter 8 Hong Ajiu?
In less than two hours, that is, an hour, a group of ordinary people surrounded Xiao Peng's courtyard, and the illiterate people asked the literate people about what they said on the notice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is a notice to recruit household miscellaneous servants, saying that it is a person named Xiao Gongzi, that is, the owner of this house has just bought this house, and it is necessary to recruit two handymen to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the house, and a cook to be responsible for the food of the house, and the handymen have ...... every month Wow, I'm not mistaken! The miscellaneous servant is paid five taels a month, the cook is ten taels, and he is in charge of food and housing, and there are subsidies for the New Year's holidays, and this treatment is too good!"
His words attracted the attention of a man in the prime of life who happened to be passing by, the man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he looked like he was sword-eyed, handsome, but his face was expressionless, and he looked indifferent.
Dressed in a gray coarse cloth robe, with a brown cloth belt around his waist, and a long strip of object covered with a cloth bag on his back waist, I don't know what it is, except for the unknown object, there is no long object on his upper and lower body, and his right hand is also holding a four or five-year-old child, the child is wearing a blue coarse cloth short beat that is slightly larger, although he looks yellow and thin, but his eyes reveal a perseverance that does not belong to a child.
After hearing the reader's explanation, the man subconsciously touched the placket of his clothes, sighed slightly, and led the child to the crowd.
"Boy of the Zhang family, you are not talking nonsense, are you? Being a handyman is five taels a month? Even the family of the county master of Dengfeng County does not have such a good treatment! The best treatment of the family in our town is the Lin Mansion, but there are only three taels of silver, who is the Lin Mansion Master Lin? In our town, he is also a famous rich gentleman, who is this Xiao Gongzi? Can he be offered such a high salary!" After listening to the words of the scholar, although many people were moved, some people also expressed doubts.
"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he can really come up with five taels of silver in a month, we will sell him this more than 100 catties, since this Xiao Gongzi dares to make an announcement, he must be a person with a clear conscience, no matter what, let's go and ask first. A young man who looked five big and three thick, and looked like he had the strength of his arms, said loudly.
"Yes, yes, what Tie Zhu said is right, let's go and ask together, let's find out, and you can also take a look at what kind of person this Xiao Gongzi is. ”
"Makes sense!"
"Then let's go in together!"
When a crowd of people rushed to the gate, the man with the child thought about it and followed the crowd.
As soon as a group of people entered the front yard, they saw a dashing and graceful man in white sitting leisurely on the stone table drinking alone.
Seeing so many people entering the door together, Xiao Peng put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and saluted the crowd, and said softly: "I have seen all your uncles and brothers, under Xiao Peng, are you here for the announcement?"
The scholar who had explained the notice to everyone before stepped forward and said, "What Childe said is very true, we are all here for the recruitment of that notice, I don't know if what Childe wrote on the notice is true?"
Xiao Peng smiled slightly, took off the folding fan from his lower waist, and opened it with a "bang", he found that he liked this way of pretending to be B, "I take it seriously, and I believe that if you want the horse to run, you must first give the horse grass, so all the people who are hired under the lower are paid first and then work." So saying, he took out two ingots of silver, five taels and ten taels of silver from his money bag, and put them on the table.
"However, the Humble House is so big in total, and there are not so many people, so only three people are hired in the next place, one person is responsible for the living and eating of the family, and the other two do some cleaning and miscellaneous work. After all, I'm alone in this family at the moment, and I'm really lonely. ”
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, looking at the few ingots of silver on the stone table, everyone's breathing became short, even the Zhang family kid who had read the book was a little uneasy, "I don't know what conditions the son has for recruiting?"
Xiao Peng groaned slightly, paced back and forth with a folding fan, and said, "This...... In fact, there are no conditions, first of all, one is naturally down-to-earth, if you are going to come to mix with the brothers, please do it......! Well, I don't know much about the purchase expenses, and if I don't even know the numbers, how can I trust him to give the money! Oh, this is just for the role of the cook, and the last and most important point......
Xiao Peng glanced at the slightly nervous crowd with a serious expression, and it was this glance that made him find the handsome man with a child in the crowd with an indifferent face, his eyes flashed imperceptibly, and finally smiled: "This last and most important one is...... The appearance should not be too ugly, at least the facial features should be correct! After all, we must get along day and night in the future, and it will be pleasing to the eye, and the mood will be a little better! Of course, everyone present in this article is qualified, hehe. ”
"Coax"
Everyone burst into laughter, and even the corner of the man's mouth, who had been straining his face and looking like he was not allowed to enter, also hooked up a smile.
"Hahaha, Xiao Gongzi is really joking. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect Xiao Gongzi to be so humorous!"
"Haha, Xiao Gongzi, I have a niece, not only handsome, but also a good cook, it can be said that she can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen!
Xiao Peng sweated profusely, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly: "This uncle is joking, how can I say that he is also a bachelor, and he is not a young master of an official family, what is the matter with recruiting a maid back? ”
"Yo, everyone looks at Xiao Gongzi is shy, hahaha. When the middle-aged uncle saw Xiao Peng's reaction, he actually teased, but Xiao Peng's reaction made everyone feel that this Xiao Gongzi was a real righteous gentleman, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little more cordial when he looked at him.
"What are you afraid of? Brother Li's girl is really handsome, and well-behaved and sensible, if Gongzi can see it, just marry her home, speaking of which, the old Li family is still high!"
"Hahaha......"
Xiao Peng saw that everyone was getting more and more energetic, and he couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly coughed and said: "Everyone, everyone, I am still young in the next place, and I don't want to think about lifelong events at present, let's get down to business!
"Makes sense......"
"Childe is right, we are all villagers from ten miles and eight towns around here, and everyone knows the roots, so we will be picked by Childe, and whoever is selected is whoever is selected, and no one has any opinions. ”
"Yes, Childe, you can choose. ”
When Xiao Peng saw everyone say this, he was no longer polite, swept his eyes, walked up to the big man who had proposed everyone to come in and ask at the beginning, and said with a fist: "I don't know what to call this big brother?"
Although the big man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, he is a sincere person, and when he saw Xiao Peng being the first to ask himself, he immediately came to his senses and said, "My name is Zhang Tiezhu, but Xiao Gongzi wants to hire me?"
"Is Brother Zhang willing to help me?"
"Haha, naturally willing, I Zhang Tiezhu has no other skills, just this arm strength is not bad, I can't cook, if the son has any rough work in the future, just leave it to me." Zhang Tiezhu said happily, slapping his chest.
Xiao Peng picked up an ingot of five taels of silver on the table and handed it to Zhang Tiezhu, and said, "Okay, then I will ask Brother Zhang for chopping wood and carrying water in the yard in the future, this is your salary this month, please collect it." ”
Zhang Tiezhu excitedly took the silver, bowed again and again, and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Others looked at Zhang Tiezhu enviously, but there was no way, it is estimated that Xiao Gongzi took a fancy to that kid's strength, who made himself as big as others?
Immediately, Xiao Peng walked up to the handsome man and asked again, "What is the name of this big brother?"
"In Xiahong Ajiu, the cooking skills are acceptable. The man who called himself Hong Ajiu returned the salute with his fists and said lightly.
