A man with a very rough appearance and voice took the initiative to stand up.
The tendons on his body were not much better than those of Xu Qingsong, and he relaxed his shoulders and said, "I'll do it!"
"Okay! Well done!"
There are more and more villagers watching around. Everyone has been notified of the interview, and most of the people who are just interested have come.
Liu Qingsong nodded, "You start. Hourglass timing."
This hourglass was also bought by the village chief from the city. It was not cheap. But the owner said it was useful now for interviews and to calculate time when making tofu in the future. So he bought many of them.
The big man shouted and raised the stone over his head, causing his veins to burst.
"good!"
"That's not bad!"
For a moment, the interview scene was extremely lively. It was more like watching a performance or a Xujiacun version of a martial arts competition!
The man gritted his teeth and held on for a full eight seconds. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and gave up.
He cheerfully thanked everyone for their compliments and clasped his fists at Xu Qingsong, "When will I know the result, brother!"
Xu Qingsong said: "According to the order, you are number one. When the time comes, the results will be posted on the outer wall of the tofu shop. The results will be given to you soon."
The man was cheerful and confident, "Okay! Then I'll wait!"
When the man left, Xu Qingsong continued to call the next one, and at the same time, the village chief was helping record the name and duration. He knew everyone in the village and knew their names clearly, so it was most appropriate for him to record the names.
Three or four more men came immediately after, but their performance was not as good as that of the man just now, so the atmosphere became a little lighter at this time.
At this time, a young boy's voice came from the crowd, "I, can I try?"
Everyone looked over curiously.
I saw a young man in the crowd who was dressed in rags and looked very thin.
He is about ten years old.
Someone in the village said: "Xu Laowu, please don't get involved. This stone weighs so much!"
"That's right, not to mention you are over 14? You are so thin, don't make trouble for your boss."
The young man known as Xu Laowu pursed his lips and walked out bravely amidst many doubtful or pitiful looks.
Xu Laowu said: "I, I still want to give it a try! Please, brother Xu, please boss, my family's conditions are not good, I, I just want to find a way to make some money to support my family..."
Fu Bao also frowned as he watched this scene.
But she said nothing, waiting to see how Xu Qingsong and Dashuang would deal with it.
Xu Qingsong first asked: "How old are you?"
Xu Laowu said: "I am fourteen years old!"
Xu Qingsong turned to look at the village chief. The village chief recalled it, stroked his beard and nodded: "Counting the time, he is almost this age. He belongs to a family with very poor conditions in Xujia Village. You also know this..."
Xu Qingsong's face remained serious, showing no sign of pity.
He said: "You are over fourteen and meet the requirements. You can try."
Xu Laowu was overjoyed: "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!"
Everyone looked at the young man flying towards the stone with complicated eyes.
He was malnourished and didn't look very strong.
Even with two thin arms, it is impossible to hold this big stone.
But he had already put his hand up, "I'm ready, brother!"
Xu Qingsong nodded, and after counting down three words, while he poured out the hourglass, the boy raised the stone.
A scene that shocked everyone happened - the boy seemed to be born with supernatural powers and could lift the stone without any effort.
Just use his two thin arms!
"Oh my God!"
"I'm not dazzled, right? Xu Laowu still has this kind of ability!"
"Oh! How long has he been lifting this! Aren't you afraid of breaking his arm?"
"This kid is so scary! And his face looks normal! He seems very relaxed!"
Some people even couldn't help shouting: "Xu Laowu! You don't need to be so desperate! Be careful your hand is broken!"
Everyone looked at this child with some distress and helplessness.
Xujiacun was not a wealthy village to begin with.
There are also poor families like Xu Laowu, quite a few. The most pitiful thing about Xu Laowu's family is that they have a gambling father who comes back to beat his wife and children when he has no money, even the mother and son are not spared.
I heard that the two younger sisters from Xu Laowu's family were captured and sold by his father.
And his mother was almost beaten to death.
Later, his father got the money and ran to the city again, and he has not come back yet.
Xu Laowu's first four brothers, the eldest brother and the second brother died at a young age. The third brother and the fourth brother are still alive. They tried to find a way to go out with the escort agency just to exchange a few taels of money for the family. They have not come back yet.
Don't know whether to live or die.
So Xu Laowu was the eldest in the family. He was already sensible at his age and acted as the "big brother", trying to support the family without a father.
The folks in Xujiacun, who lived close to his family, also helped a little, but they only occasionally sent some food from home. No matter how much help they had, there was nothing they could do.
Now I see this child lifting such a large stone by himself and insisting on carrying it.
Everyone was a little silent, feeling very uncomfortable.
"good!"
A milky sound came out, Fu Bao applauded, and she said: "You can put it down now."
The young man was a little panicked, "But I, I'm afraid I won't pass the interview..."
Fubao said: "I am your boss, and I said you passed the interview. Everyone present also saw that Xu Laowu was very strong and he could carry it for forty seconds. Does anyone have the confidence to compete?"
Everyone looked at each other, and someone shouted: "No!"
The big man who was the first to compete also shouted angrily: "No!"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became a little more lively. Many people shouted one after another: "None of us have it!"
"And this position isn't just for one, let's put it down," Fubao said.
The young man put it down, but his arms were vaguely visible.
Fubao said, "But I have an idea. I don't know if you are willing to agree to it."
Xu Laowu said: "What do you think, boss?"
Fubao said: "You are very strong. Basically, Momo is still pulling the donkey, and people help to provide some strength. Later, we will need people to unload the materials and transport the goods. I didn't think about who to find, so why don't you come?"
?The wages are twice what they are now, how about that?"
double!
That’s 140 cents a day!
Xu Laowu was ecstatic, "Of course! Thank you boss! Thank you boss! I will definitely live up to your expectations and do a good job!"
At this moment, Xu Laowu's eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
The other people in Xujiacun didn't have any objections. After all, Xu Laowu worked so hard, and everyone saw it, and his strength was indeed superior. It was the boss who spoke, and the matter was settled.
As for Fubao, he heard the system say——
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task of "Working for Xu Laowu"]
