Chapter 379 Paying Wages
The working situation here can be summarized in one sentence as working from morning to night, getting up at dawn to work, going home to sleep at night, and having a two-hour lunch break at noon.
As for the human villagers, they have no objection at all, and even think that their current life is too good.
But for the prairie elves, that may not be the case.
Excluding necessary work such as obtaining food, the workload of a human villager here in one day is estimated to be enough for a prairie elf to do it for a week.
In the process of previous contact and understanding, Zhou Xu had already known the living habits of these grassland elves.
Unlike the captives, for this group of grassland elves, if he demands them based on the requirements of human villagers, it will only cause trouble for himself.
So Zhou Xu also greeted Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Shitou as the village chiefs early, telling them that after arranging corresponding work for them, they would not need to worry about these grassland elves. There are no requirements on their work efficiency and workload.
In fact, they have no set requirements for work efficiency and workload. It’s just that if you keep grinding and whining while you are working, someone will definitely say a few words. .
This is because their labor force is relatively tight. After you finish the job at hand, there will always be the next job waiting for you to do.
However, the grassland elves are in a special situation, and naturally they need some special treatment...
"Wang Xiaohua, forty-seven weaving jobs have been completed, and this month's salary is ninety-four cents..."
>In the weaving factory, in order to facilitate statistics and calculations, work is calculated one by one. When paying wages, they will report how much work the other party has completed this month and how much wages they have paid. How much work, how much salary, the main thing is to have a reasonable basis.
At the end of every month, under the efficient work of Mr. Wang Dongwang, who had to be a guest accountant, the wages of the human employees were quickly distributed, and then it was the turn of the prairie elves who were also waiting there.
"Williams, eleven weaving jobs completed, wages twenty-two cents."
The previous human employees had at least seventy or eighty cents, but when they arrived at the prairie elves, their fortunes plummeted instantly.
The comparison before and after made the prairie elves show a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
A race that is proud at heart and always very competitive.
But for now, they have no intention of comparing work with humans. That kind of working state is too abnormal in their opinion. Prairie elves who like to enjoy life do not like to put themselves Too tiring.
Seeing the carelessness on the faces of the grassland elves after the embarrassment, Wang Dong coughed twice and emphasized...
"Here I would like to remind you, as prairie elves, that because you have not officially received your salary before, we have provided you with the minimum housing and two meals a day out of humanitarianism. These are all advanced to you. In other words, you all need to repay in the future.”
“The form of repayment will be based on the premise that you meet the most basic living security every month, and the excess salary will be deducted to repay the debt until Pay off the debt.”
“But since your salary this month cannot even meet the basic living security, there will be no deductions this month.”
Speaking of this, Wang Dong, who was worried that these grassland elves were not good at math, gave a kind reminder.
"Finally, I would like to remind you that there are basically thirty days in a month. According to your income this month, even if you eat the cheapest 'relief meal' that costs a penny a meal in the canteen, you will only eat in one day. Even if you only eat one meal, I’m afraid it won’t last you more than a month, so you can take care of yourself.”
While giving a friendly reminder, Wang Dong quickly paid his salary, turned around and left.
His finances are not only in charge of Salt Lake Village, but also of Black Moon Village.
After all, he is the only person here who can both settle accounts and keep accounts.
So now he basically maintains a state of being in Salt Lake Village in the morning and Black Moon Village in the afternoon.
If Huangshan Village was not too far away, Zhou Xu would have wanted Wang Dong to do the financial work in Huangshan Village.
At that time, Wang Dong rolled his eyes. Their leader really has a way of arranging things for people.
During this period, looking at Wang Dong's hurried away figure, the prairie elves who had never studied mathematics before clearly did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this moment.
Until the bell rang to notify them that it was time for meal, they poured into the canteen as always, and then queued up at their window to wait for their meal.
As a result, this time, the prepared meals were not directly served to them. The staff who prepared the meals only glanced at them.
"What to eat?"
The prairie elf who heard this question was stunned, then looked at the basins of fragrant food, swallowed his saliva, and then completely followed his own preferences. I ordered four dishes.
The cook didn’t think much and just served it to them. He even asked a question later.
“Do you want more?”
“No need.”
After receiving this answer, the cook stretched out his hand towards the prairie elf.
"Three cents."
"..."
A situation that had never happened before confused the prairie elf.
They came here to eat, but the cook didn't ask them whether they wanted to eat or not. He quickly packed the food and handed it to them. As soon as they took their plates, they were ready to leave.
The cook saw that the prairie elf was stunned and explained directly.
“Before, you had no money, so the financial department helped you pay for your meals. Now that you are paid, from now on, you have to pay for your meals here.”< br>
Having said this, the cook quickly reminded me.
"Three pennies, hurry up, we are still waiting for you later."
The sudden situation made the prairie elf confused. Fortunately, he still knew what three pennies was. .
While the prairie elf in front was immersed in taking out the three cents, the minds of the prairie elves in the back were racing, and at the same time, what Wang Dong had said to them before appeared in their minds.
Before, they only thought that Wang Dong's words were incomprehensible, but now that they have sorted out their thoughts, everything is really clear!
This also made many prairie elves realize immediately that based on the wages they currently receive, they simply cannot maintain a life of two meals a day until the next paycheck!
While they were thinking this, the big bastard who spent three cents of his limited salary on a meal had already left with the dinner plate.
Looking at the next prairie elf, it was still the same problem as before.
"What to eat?"
Faced with this question, the prairie elf's mind turned quickly, and at the same time he recalled something that Wang Dong had mentioned before.
"Relief meal, is there a relief meal?"
"Yes, one penny each, come with one?"
"Come with one!"< br>
