Chapter 197 I seem to have seen her somewhere
"...Or maybe there are those who want to re-employ."
There are no serious dental shops in the town, but during the off-season, wealthy families will occasionally send their nursing staff and long-term workers outside to do some work and earn money to supplement their income. Home.
Occasionally during busy farming times, if the owners of these people are not too busy, they will also rent or rehire their idle staff.
This is also because it is not very expensive to buy a person or sign a contract of sale with someone for ten or twenty years.
You just need to pay a certain head tax every year.
In your spare time, you can also send people out to do work to make money.
But if it is sold again, a tax will have to be paid to the government.
Often the money from selling people is not enough to cover taxes.
As a result, some families who really cannot afford to support so many nursing homes and long-term workers, or who originally wanted to make money by running nursing homes and regard buying people as an investment, end up not only not making a profit, but instead spending more money than they can make ends meet. The family will transfer the nursing home or long-term worker to another family through transfer.
In this way, it does not count as a sale, and there is no need to pay taxes to the government.
The government mostly turns a blind eye to this.
It can be regarded as a tacit transaction method.
"This..."
The waiter was a little stumped by the question for a moment.
"I really haven't heard of any family in our town who has hired a nursing home or a long-term worker."
He sighed: "In the past, when the landowners of the Wang family were still there, they could still afford a few nursing homes."
"But since the Wang family suffered a disaster eight years ago, there have been no such wealthy families in our town. The poor Ding Dang Sheng is certainly not considered poor, but there are not many who can afford to hire a nursing home. ”
"Not to mention spending a lot of money to buy it."
"Even the only escort agency in our town was busy having a breakup meal a few days ago."
The waiter sighed: "The world is getting tough! It's hard to make money!"
When Jiang Anning heard this, her eyes lit up: "Escort agency?"
"Yes!"
The waiter in the shop was very hard-working and could not stop talking. He started chatting with people like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"It's said to be an escort agency, but it's not really that! It just helps passing businessmen and escorts them on some journeys. Occasionally, if you're lucky, you might be able to get a job as a ship runner."
"However, most of the time, I am at home."
"It's said to be a bodyguard agency, but in fact it's just two thatched houses built outside the city, a wall built outside, and a wooden sign hung, and that's it."
"Actually, there is no registration with the government."
The waiter covered his mouth with his hand and lowered his voice: "I heard that they are a group of gangsters who had blood on their hands. Now that they have washed their hands in the golden basin, they have become dart boys."
"But they didn't choose the location well. Even in our town, if you want to find a few jobs, it just depends on luck."
"Not to mention the desolate place in the suburbs. Who would go there for a walk when they have nothing to do?"
Jiang Anning was thoughtful.
The waiter in the shop kept talking a lot, and his mouth felt dry.
He looked at Jiang Anning: "Sir, may I give you some water?"
Jiang Anning came back to her senses, smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Just when the waiter turned around and was about to get the kettle, Jiang Anning said again: "I'd like to trouble you, brother, just follow what's on the menu and fry one for me!"
"Hey, okay!"
The waiter subconsciously responded, and then his eyes widened with suspicion: "Huh? Fry, fry, fry a book?"
He even thought about what kind of food it was for a long time.
"Yeah!" Jiang Anning nodded with a smile: "Just follow this menu and fry them all for me!"
"Huh?"
The waiter was shocked again.
His mouth opened wide in surprise.
He looked at Jiang Anning blankly, as if thinking about how likely this person was to play with him.
He was probably talking to tease her.
That must be the case.
"Sir, it doesn't matter even if you don't order anything. We don't have many rules in our store. It's a small place. Everyone can do whatever they want. You can just sit and drink water or eat peanuts and melon seeds. It doesn't matter how long you sit. Relational.”
He thought Jiang Anning was embarrassed, so he was very kind and offered words of comfort.
Jiang Anning said seriously: "I am not joking with my little brother."
"I'm serious, please help me and fry up all the dishes on the menu."
The waiter looked at her as if she was joking and didn't dare to do as she was told.
"Sir, you can order so many dishes by yourself and you won't be able to finish them all. This dish must be fried and eaten right away, otherwise the taste will change even if it is just reheated."
His sincere attitude and sincere suggestion: "If you are serious, why not ask me to recommend a few of our signature dishes to you? You just have to taste it first to see if it tastes good to you..."
Jiang Anning said 'hmm': "That's okay, but it has to be enough to feed more than ten people."
"Hey, okay!" When the waiter heard that Jiang Anning was willing to listen, he subconsciously responded happily.
Then I slowly tasted it and was shocked again: "Huh?"
"How many people?"
A family of ten!
Big customer, this is it!
The joy on the waiter's face could not be concealed immediately. He danced excitedly and wished he could jump up and squeal a few times.
"About ten people, right?"
Jiang Anning wasn't very sure: "I'm not sure either. After all, this is the first time I've invited these people to dinner."
The waiter calmed down and nodded, saying ‘oh’ twice: “I understand, I understand.”
He didn't think too much.
"Besides, I'm afraid I need you to help me to invite this person." Jiang Anning looked at the person with a smile.
The waiter still didn't think too much.
He nodded happily: "It should, it should, no problem, no problem. Just tell me your address and I'll go there right away..."
"I don't know where the specific address is."
"Huh?"
The waiter looked at the person with a blank expression.
Jiang Anning smiled: "I just heard from the second brother that the escort agency in our town is planning to have a break-up meal."
"It's just because Tian Niang is not being nice. We just booked a table and caught up with the continuous rainy days. We were delayed for many days and couldn't make the trip for the time being."
"I guessed that before we had time to finish the meal, people probably hadn't gone their separate ways yet."
She looked innocent: "I happen to need a few people at home to help take care of things. I just heard what the second brother said, so I thought about asking you to help pull a string and let me treat them to a casual meal."
"It would be even better if we can successfully recruit them to help."
The waiter hesitated for a moment: "This..."
He looked at the little girl in front of him, and she really didn't look like a bad person.
I carefully digested what the person just said in my heart and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Then he quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, what did I think was happening? It turns out that's what happened!"
"But are you going to invite them to be the masters of the family, or are you going to invite them all?"
The waiter kindly advised: "Don't blame me for talking too much. If you only plan to discuss business with people, you might as well just invite the person who is the master of their affairs, boil two pots of small wine, and explain the matter carefully, that's it." ! ”
"There is really no need to spend too much money..." His voice paused slightly: "You don't know, there are many people in their escort agency."
"We only prepare enough for ten people, but I'm afraid it's far from enough."
"And they can all eat it!" "Just ten of them can eat as much as twenty people."
The waiter was afraid that Jiang Anning would be deprived of food.
Jiang Anning was indeed surprised: "So powerful?"
In her opinion, anyone who can eat is capable!
The more you eat, the stronger you will be!
She thought for a while and said to the waiter: "Then I'd better trouble you to go over and help me ask how many people they are willing to come."
"We will prepare as many people as they are willing to come according to the portion. If it is not enough, we will add more!"
Jiang Anning's arrogance really shocked the waiter.
He thought that Jiang Anning was young and still didn't understand the pros and cons of this, so he simply advised her not to be tactful: "Sir, if you invite so many people to eat together at one time, even if you prepare it according to the cheapest standard, it won't be enough." It costs a lot of money!”
He can actually make the decision and give people the lowest cost price.
But even at cost price, it won't be that cheap.
He was worried that the little girl would not be able to afford it and would be scolded by her family later.
Jiang Anning blinked and understood what the visitor was worried about. She took out two silver coins from her purse and said, "This is the deposit for the banquet."
"If that's not enough, I can still be at home."
The waiter looked at the two silver coins and was even more shocked.
Good guy, you made a mistake!
Originally, when he saw Jiang Anning wearing dusty clothes, which even looked a little dirty, he thought he was short of money...
Unexpectedly, this little lady turned out to be very secretive.
The smile on the waiter's face immediately became brighter: "That's enough, that's enough! That's enough!"
"I'll go over right away and help you find someone!"
He put down the rag in his hand in a hurry, not even caring about refilling the water.
Then he ran to the door and ran back in a panic: "But, sir, don't think I'm too talkative. It's important to be on guard against others. As a girl, you should be more careful and don't expose your wealth." ! ”
Jiang Anning smiled and thanked him for his kind reminder.
The waiter looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and ran away as if in despair.
Jiang Anning sat in the small restaurant and waited for about two sticks of incense.
While peeling peanuts, a strong man suddenly walked towards me, with messy curly beard and a fierce look.
"Who? Who?"
"Who wants to ask the ladies to look after the home and nursing home!"
As soon as the strong man entered the door, he shouted loudly.
Jiang Anning was so frightened that she even stopped peeling peanuts for a moment.
She blinked her eyes, put the peeled peanut kernels into her mouth, and chewed them gently.
The fried peanuts are delicious.
The strong man quickly noticed the little girl who ignored him and was just eating peanuts.
He frowned slightly, and when he saw that the person was really ignoring him, he immediately glared at him.
Jiang Anning blinked innocently, and after peeling another peanut, he hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to eat too?"
“The store cooks it themselves, it’s very fragrant.”
The strong man said "Hey" and asked curiously: "You little girl, you are not afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?" Jiang Anning blinked: "Could it be that you want to rob your house?"
"That's not true."
The strong man carelessly kicked a stool over, stepped over and sat down, unceremoniously picked up the coarse porcelain bowl next to him, poured himself a bowl of plain water, drank it all in two gulps.
As if his thirst had not been quenched, the strong man drank two more bowls.
With a clang, the empty bowl was put down, making a loud noise.
The strong man let out a comfortable "ha" and then burped again.
"I heard someone said that someone here wants us brothers to go back and be housekeepers."
He was fierce when he spoke.
Jiang Anning listened and thought he was unwilling.
Thinking about Jianghu people, maybe they have their own arrogance and disdain to do such things as being inferior to others.
Just as he was about to say something, the waiter ran in, gasping for breath, and held the door frame. After a while, he finally managed to catch his breath.
"I said, Captain Cai, you are walking too fast. I am chasing you from behind so that I don't get tired."
The waiter took a few more breaths and fanned the air with his hands, trying to dissipate some of the heat.
Seeing that someone was already sitting at Jiang Anning's table, he hurriedly introduced him: "This is the one I told you about hiring some young ladies to guard the hospital."
Bang!
The strong man who was known as the head of Cai's escort slid directly from the bench to the ground.
The stool that was flipped up hit the person's head directly.
But it didn't make anyone react at all.
Bouncer Cai had a look of shock on his face, and then he seemed to have thought of something and got up in a hurry: "Hey, it turns out that this young lady is the owner of the fund. I'm so presumptuous. I'm so presumptuous."
"I, that..."
Bouncer Cai was so nervous that his tongue curled up and he couldn't even speak clearly.
The contrast between his flattering look and the ferocious look he had when he first entered the door was really huge.
Jiang Anning found it interesting.
After talking to people, I learned that the people in their escort agency were all brothers from the same sect.
It is true that the sect has been unable to untie the pot. After the leader passed away, they almost couldn't even afford the money to bury people.
In the end, he sold everything he could in the sect and sold off everything that could be sold. Then he managed to scrape together enough money to buy a thin coffin and bury the leader with dignity.
But after that, the sect was completely unable to reveal the blame.
They had no choice but to sell off the sect's real estate for a few taels of silver.
Originally, everyone planned to divide the money and go their separate ways to find their own future.
But...
The money is really too little, not enough to divide it.
In the end, one of the junior brothers suggested that he come to his hometown and use his old house to set up such a escort agency, so that he could barely survive.
But now, the escort agency is also unsustainable and has to disband!
When they heard that Jiang Anning was willing to hire them as a nursing home, they even considered selling themselves.
There is no backbone, no freedom, no freedom.
Having a full meal is not as important!
On the one hand, I can do it if I am given money, but on the other hand, I am not short of money at all.
The exchange between the two parties was extremely pleasant.
Jiang Anning didn't need to say too much, and escort chief Cai went back to the escort office happily, telling everyone to pack their bedrolls and prepare to go home with Jiang Anning.
Jiang Anning still insisted and invited someone to have a meal.
However, I didn't know that the waiter's words were too exaggerated. These people had eaten in advance.
But it was not as she imagined, a scene of one person eating several kilograms of rice.
Okay, okay, I can afford it.
But after everyone left, the waiter couldn't help but mutter: "Usually these people come to eat, and if they don't order fifty or sixty steamed buns, it's impossible to stop. Why, today, it seems like a bird's stomach is full, every time The person only ate one steamed bun.”
"It's strange, it's strange."
-
On the road.
The thin man walking at the end of the team couldn't help but said to the senior brother dressed as a scholar next to him: "Do you think this little lady's face looks very familiar?"
"I always feel like I have seen her somewhere."
