Chapter 140
These female workers felt proud and proud for a moment.
See, we can also work and earn money, not just sitting around the stove at home.
A few little girls were relieved until now. They could make money. I guess grandma wouldn't say that she would sell herself for money and food, right?
Many people tried their best to inquire, say nice things, and beg... Some people couldn't help but accept with shame, while others refused without thinking.
Zhou Yang's family was also begged for help.
"Sister-in-law, you look like a kind-hearted person at first sight. I wonder if your children can help me ask the manager tomorrow. Are you still recruiting people?"
Zhou Yang's wife said: "Ah, this... I don't know."
"Sister-in-law, please help me ask. I really want to do it. You have also seen it. There are seniors and juniors in my family..."
"Well, it is also the first day for my three children to go out to work. They only dare to work silently. They dare not say anything, let alone ask the manager about things."
Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law said to herself, "You think I'm stupid? If my Zhou family's children speak out, what if I leave a troublesome impression on the supervisor and lose my good reputation?"
In this world right now, nothing is easy for anyone.
When shopkeeper Bai came to recruit people in the morning, you stayed far away.
Then he saw that the food provided by the caravan was ready and there was another two kilograms of meat as a reward, so he licked his face and begged, how could such a good thing happen?
"Sister-in-law..."
Zhou Meimei was on the side and couldn't see it, so she answered: "Aunt, we are too timid to ask. Well, you can ask the caravan manager yourself tomorrow."
"I asked myself and found out that it wasn't true. Even if the caravan is short of people, it still has to be picked. Not everyone can do it."
If he and his two cousins helped to open the door, they wouldn't be the ones to be blamed if they couldn't choose.
At that time, they might go around saying that they don't do their best to help. Rather than doing this, it would be better to refuse them from the beginning.
Right and left, those who really want to do it will find someone in charge.
It's not like Baitao didn't want to pay a little more, but she had to consider the reality.
If you give too much, the Baijiapu caravan may be targeted as a fat sheep, and the hired workers may be robbed if they take back the money and food.
It couldn't be easier for several companies to rob each other.
If these people can maintain basic food and clothing problems, then even if they stay by the Qingquan River for eight or ten days, these people will not besiege Taohua Village because they can't survive.
Even though they were camping by the river, Taohua Village held a brief meeting after dinner as usual, and each group reported some things to Baitao.
"...Tang Monk and his disciples crossed Lingyun Ferry, took a bottomless boat, and finally reached the other shore, where they were reborn and came to Lingshan..." Baitao also finished his Journey to the West today.
Bai Duojin thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Xitian also talks about these twists and turns." He actually asked for the purple gold alms bowl to do the work.
The villagers also murmured in their hearts. It's not surprising that the world is so sophisticated in heaven.
We have to work harder, and we can't let my aunt be embarrassed in her hometown.
Baitao is only five years old, and she is at an age where she likes to stay in bed, not to mention it is winter now.
The warm quilt she slept in all night made her reluctant to leave, so she lingered until it was already past ten o'clock when she got out of the tent.
After she washed up, Bai Dashan didn't come to report anything, so Baitao called someone to carry her sedan to the river.
She ate custard and millet cakes while fishing.
Baitao said it was fishing, but in fact, Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi each had a fishing rod, and she was holding a picture book and looking at it.
"Hey, there are fish again."
Bai Qi exclaimed happily while quickly pulling the fishing rod back.
"Auntie, look, you caught a big fish, bigger than the last one. I estimate it weighs four to five pounds."
Baitao looked up and praised with bright eyes: "Not bad, not bad, I caught two in one minute." "Come on you two, it's up to you whether we can have one fish each for lunch today."
At this time, Bai Xiaocao also raised the rod and pulled in a fish, and responded with a smile: "Okay, aunt, don't worry, the two of us will work hard."
Strangely enough, there were quite a lot of fish in the river, and they were probably starving. Fishes bit her and Bai Qi almost as soon as they lowered their hooks.
Neither.
Bai Xiaocao subconsciously looked at the little baby who was kicking and rolling on the sedan chair as if he was amused by the drawing book.
She thought to herself that it was because of her aunt. It was because of her presence that these fish came together.
Little did Bai Qi and Bai Xiaocao know that the reason why they were able to catch so many fish was because Baitao had lost the fish food in advance to create a nest.
Lu Xiaohao had nothing to do today. Seeing Baitao leading people fishing, he also got a fishing rod to fish.
But he was embarrassed to come to Baitao and the others, so he found a place not far away.
Yang Song was full of confidence at first while holding the fish basket, but after a cup of tea, he couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, are there no fish yet?"
"Sir, are all the fish running away from home in the place we chose?"
"Sir, is it not enough to eat fish?"
"Master..."
How long has it been since the fishhook was put down? Not even a single fish has taken the bait. On the contrary, it was Miss Bai who kept catching fish.
Lu Xiaohao also raised his head, and his voice was full of seriousness: "Shut up, be careful not to disturb the fish."
It was already shameful for him not to catch the fish, but this guy was chattering and making noise next to him.
Yang Song: "Uh..."
He turned his head and looked at Baitao, thinking to himself, Miss Bai didn't see Anjing either.
The two little girls were murmuring from time to time. Miss Bai also smiled happily while looking at the drawing book, and fishes still took the bait.
His eyes returned to his master again. Although Yang Song didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the place his master was looking for was really not good. There wasn't even a small fish.
"Master, otherwise..."
"Hey, I have it." Lu Xiaohao was actually anxious. Finally, the fish dart moved, and he hurriedly said proudly.
"It looks like a big one..." As he said that, he grinned and quickly pulled the lever.
Yang Song also happily agreed: "Yes, Mr. Li..." Harm.
Before he could finish his words, the fish was pulled out of the water.
Then, when the master and servant saw the fish they caught, the smiles stuck on their faces.
What the hell?
A fish no more than two fingers thick was hanging on the hook, swinging its tail back and forth.
Why are there always fishes weighing three to five kilograms over there, while here there are small fish as thick as two fingers?
"Master?"
Lu Xiaohao came to his senses, coughed twice to cover up, quickly untied the fish, and then threw it into the fish basket held by Yang Song.
If it were such a small fish before, he would have thrown it back into the river, but now that he was hungry, he also understood that no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat.
If you save three or five pieces, you can also make fish soup.
