Chapter 006 Recruit a long-term worker named Zhang Liao?
After sighing with emotion and being excited for a while, Zhu Hansan went to the bridge in the city to recruit people.
When he first arrived at the bridge, he looked at the densely packed crowd. Zhu Hansan was really shocked. Most of the people had yellow faces and muscles and were dressed like refugees. They should be people from the villages outside the city who came to the city to find work.
.
"Our store is looking for three permanent workers, two men and one woman. It is best to be a family. One hundred and fifty dollars per month will be provided for food and accommodation. The money will be paid at the end of the month. If you want to join, you can sign up here."
Zhu Hansan stood on the stone pier and had just finished speaking when he saw many people surrounding him.
"Master, you want me!"
"Master, I am strong!"
"master......"
Zhu Hansan didn't panic when he was surrounded by people. He just searched the crowd for his favorite shop assistant. Not long after, he saw a family of three acting strangely outside the crowd. They didn't come forward, they just stood there quietly.
Look at a woman with two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is particularly energetic and has a strong body. He looks young, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old. The girl is quirky and charming.
Look, take a look, the woman is quiet and elegant. Although she is dressed in coarse linen, her temperament is eye-catching. She looks like an educated lady at first glance. Just one glance, Zhu Hansan wanted to recruit these three people.
I came to the store to do some work, but I had to see if the boy had strength first. After all, he was doing a job that required a lot of strength.
Zhu Hansan crossed the crowd, came to the three of them and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Replying to this gentleman, Ms. Zhang, a civilian woman, lives in Taojia Village, thirty miles southwest of Jingxian County. Because her husband was recently deceased and her family had no land, she came to the city with her two children to find something to do.
Once you have saved enough money, go back to your husband's house in Yanmen."
Zhang talked calmly and seemed to have been educated.
"Oh? Your husband's family is from Yanmen? It's not close to here! What do you know?"
Zhu Hansan looked at the three of them carefully. The woman behaved well and spoke well, unlike a country woman. The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a dull face. He was about the same height as him. He was strong and strong, and his hands were covered with calluses.
At first glance, he looks like a boy who loves to dance with guns and clubs, but the girl is quite quirky and has been staring at Zhu Hansan from just now until now.
"Well, a commoner woman can do everything, wash and cook, serve tea and water, sew and mend. This child of a commoner woman also has some strength. If we weren't two girls and one boy, we would have wanted to find something to do with the master, but it's a pity.
Got it!"
Seeing Zhu Hansan ask, Zhang quickly replied.
"How much strength do you have? The work in my shop requires a lot of strength. I can't do it if I have little strength!"
Zhu Hansan looked at the young man with his hands behind his back, nuzzled at the stone at the foot of a tree not far away, and said: "Go, lift that stone and show me!"
The stone looked like it must weigh at least a hundred kilograms. If the young man could really lift it, Zhu Hansan might consider accepting them. If he couldn't lift it, then he would just have to sigh.
"If I lift the stone next to me, will the master be able to take in our mother and son?"
The young man turned to look at the stone. After hesitating for a moment, he saw him pointing at another stone and asking.
"This kid really doesn't know how high the sky is. The master is willing to accept them, but he still wants to act recklessly!"
"Yes, yes, that stone is much bigger than the one just now. It weighs at least two hundred kilograms upward. This young man is only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can he lift it?"
"If you don't overestimate your own abilities, even a grown man may not be able to lift that stone."
...

The young man's words immediately attracted cynicism from the crowd of onlookers, but the young man didn't care, his face was calm, and he just stared at Zhu Hansan.
"Oh? If you can lift it, then I will accept you, mother and son, to work at my place."
Seeing the young man's behavior, Zhu Hansan suddenly became interested.
"Brother, it's up to you!"
The girl looked excited and cheered for her brother.
Mrs. Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, as if she felt that the stone would not be a problem for her child.
Looking at the expressions of the mother and daughter, Zhu Hansan even murmured in his heart. The stone weighed not only three hundred kilograms, but at least two hundred kilograms. It would be difficult for ordinary people to lift it, let alone lift it.
, this is a stone, not a sack, so easy to lift.
"call!"
The young man walked up to the stone, rolled up his sleeves, took a few deep breaths, bent down, squatted down, hugged the stone, lifted it up, and then raised it above his head. It was so easy.
Everyone around looked like they were looking at monsters. Even Zhu Hansan was so shocked that he couldn’t open his mouth from ear to ear and kept exclaiming in his heart, I’ve made it, I’ve made it.
"Bang!"
The young man held it for a long time, and it was not until he threw the stone on the ground that everyone came to their senses and dispersed. Everyone knew that the job must have been taken by the young man's family.
"Innate divine power? Or did you develop it later?"
Zhu Hansan walked around the young man. He found that the young man had a well-proportioned figure and looked a bit strong, but he did not look powerful. He immediately became curious and asked.
"I have everything. I wonder if I can satisfy the master's request?"
The young man cupped his hands towards Zhu Hansan and said modestly.
"Well, that's right. If you have some strength, if you pass the test, all three of you can work as long-term workers in my store from now on. The wages will be one hundred and fifty yuan per month, and you will be settled at the end of the month. Food and accommodation are included."
Zhu Hansan couldn't help but pinch the young man's arm and said with a smile.
"A civilian woman would like to thank you for taking me in, but please rest assured that we, mother and son, will do a good job."
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed and secretly said that the three of her family had met a nobleman as soon as they entered the city and promised Zhu Hansan repeatedly.
"Well, then come with me!"
After receiving the three guys, Zhu Hansan began to make a mental calculation. He only had more than 21,000 yuan, which was really a bit tight. But everything was difficult at the beginning. Fortunately, he made a friend who was as greedy as him. Money
If he borrows it, he can pay the rent for the shop at the end of the month, and he only needs to pay for the lumber. Excluding the upfront cost, he should still have several thousand to ten thousand yuan for turnover. As long as he moves quickly, he can build it in more than ten days.
The first set of Eight Immortals tables with exquisite carvings came out. If you calculate it this way, after selling the Eight Immortals tables, he will have funds to maintain his subsequent livelihood. This goes back and forth, gradually forming a virtuous circle.
However, the first buyer needs to think carefully. In this era of underdeveloped information, the identity of the first buyer is definitely an important factor that affects the smooth development of the future.
After returning to the store, Zhu Hansan came to his senses and asked casually: "This is my store. I just bought it. Oh, by the way, what are the names of you two little kids?"
"This is the younger Zhang Liao. His father took the courtesy name Wenyuan before his death. That is the younger daughter Zhang Lan."
Mrs. Zhang quickly introduced.
"Oh, Zhang Liao? Zhang Lan? What a good name."
Zhu Hansan nodded and remembered the name of the boy and girl. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He looked at Zhang Liao and said in surprise: "What? Your name is Zhang Liao?"
"This is Zhang Liao."
Zhang Liao didn't know why Zhu Hansan reacted this way, but he didn't dare to be negligent and responded quickly.
"Why, you also know my brother's name? Let me tell you, my brother is a good player in our ten miles and eight villages. No ordinary person can beat him."
Zhang Lan looked excited and happily recommended her brother.
"Okay, okay."
Zhu Hansan was stunned for a moment, and then ordered angrily: "You and your daughter are responsible for cleaning the shop, both inside and outside."
"Here, here is one hundred dollars. You need to buy what you need to buy for daily use, and then buy some food, meat, vegetables and so on. Come back, Zhang Liao, come with me to the Yamen now. I will be here with you."
The timber needs to be moved back."
After Zhu Hansan took out 100 yuan and handed it to Zhang, he greeted Zhang Liao and left the shop. There were several bullock carts parked outside the door. Zhu Hansan borrowed this from Zhang Guanjia, and spent 50 yuan, which was regarded as a 'friendship price'.
'.
Going to the county government office to go through the formalities was very quick, perhaps because Wang Wu had greeted me in advance, and the lumber was even cheaper. For only three thousand dollars, I loaded several large trucks and brought them back, including some high-quality lumber.
Back in the shop, Zhu Hansan took out the carpentry tools customized from Li Hu and began to make the Eight Immortals table day and night. It is really a laborious task for one person to use simple tools to make such a demanding carved wooden table.
In just a few days, the shop took on a new look. Zhang was a master of housekeeping and her cooking skills were good, which made Zhu Hansan happy. Zhang Liao had been learning carpentry skills from Zhu Hansan, but the carving skills made Zhang Liao a good person.
The young man almost suffered from internal injuries and made one mistake after another. As for Zhang Lan, he was only responsible for accompanying Zhu's mother, and would come to the shop to pick up meals when the time came.
Mother Zhu was also very curious about the sudden appearance of such a little maid, but Zhu Hansan found various excuses to put her off.
After half a month of busy work, the first carved Eight Immortals table was successfully built. In fact, the structure of the table itself is not complicated, and the material is just better pineapple wood. The main reason is that Zhu Hansan specially added some hollow carvings in order to make himself famous.
It is used for decoration. At first glance, it looks a bit classy.
"Wenyuan, what do you think? How much can this table sell for?"
After getting along for a period of time, Zhu Hansan also got along well with Zhang Liao, to the point where they almost became sworn friends.
"Boss, this is the best-looking table I've ever seen. It's just unique in shape. You don't have to kneel down to sit on it. Can we sell it?"
Zhang Liao scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment. At first, Zhang Liao and the others called him the shopkeeper Zhu Hansan, which was not pleasant. Zhu Hansan asked them to change their name and call them boss directly. Zhang Liao's name was awkward, but Zhu Hansan heard it extremely.
Pleasant to the ear.
"What's the point? There will be many new things coming out in the future? Don't make a fuss all the time. If word spreads, we will lose our share. Wenyuan, I am not bragging to you. Even if it is a stone, your boss, I can give it to you."
Sell it, not to mention these well-made and beautiful tables and chairs. You boy, please follow us well from now on. I won’t treat you badly, and you can learn more skills!”
Zhu Hansan smiled confidently and ordered to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, hang up the sign and cover it with red cloth. We will open tomorrow morning. Tell your mother that I won't come back for lunch. After eating,
After lunch, you will clean the shop inside and out, and arrange it as I taught you."
