Chapter 131 Everyone Gathered Outside
Chapter 131 Everyone Gathered Outside
Tao Wuji and his son did not stay long. After breakfast the next day, they left Kaoshan Village.
Xia Shengsheng had already told Village Chief Ma the night before that the instant noodle factory needed to expand its workforce.
This time, Xia Shengsheng plans to recruit some people from other villages.
It would probably be enough if we recruit 40 more people.
Let Village Chief Ma help spread the news so that villagers with relatives who want to come can also come.
In the end, she has to see the candidate before she can decide whether to hire that person to do the job.
Xia Shengsheng also went to Zheng's house specifically to look for Rouer.
She remembered Rouer told her that her sister-in-law wanted to come and work.
So I specifically informed her that if his sister-in-law still wanted to come, she should come to her place this afternoon to apply for the job. If she is suitable, she will definitely be given priority.
It was planned that they would come to apply for the job in the afternoon, but many people came in the morning and gathered outside Xia Shengsheng's house.
Xia Shengsheng is currently preparing things needed for the factory.
When I first heard the noisy sound, I thought it was the voices of workers talking in the vermicelli factory in the front yard.
I took a special look and found that everyone was working in an orderly manner. Then I realized that the source of the sound was outside.
"Boss, I guess they all want to come earlier, for fear that if they come late, you will have already selected the people and they won't have another chance." Li Erjia walked forward and said.
Xia Shengsheng also understood everyone's thoughts.
She only recruits women and adult girls.
There are many women and girls in farming families who are good at working.
But there are only a handful of people who want to earn wages.
Xia Shengsheng's job pays well and the work isn't too tiring. It's the job that many people dream of.
The reason why Xia Shengsheng recruited all female workers was because women had a hard life in that era.
If women could earn money and support a family like men, their status would be greatly improved and their future lives would be much better.
However, Xia Shengsheng did not show any leniency to the crowd gathered outside and started recruiting workers in advance.
It should start at the agreed time.
Otherwise, what about those who live far away from home and come at the appointed time? It is not fair to them either.
But since we're here, we can't let so many people stand outside in the sun in vain.
She is not a landlord, so she would not arrange things like that.
I looked through the crack in the door.
There were about sixty or seventy people gathered outside.
Xia Shengsheng went to the backyard where there was no one.
I bought more than two hundred pieces of sugar cookies from Qiqi.
The shortbread is not expensive, only one dollar each. It is not freshly baked, but it is still very crispy.
When they took them out, there were two large baskets. Xia Shengsheng divided them into two trips and moved them to the front yard.
"Boss, do you need help? Do you want us to move back to your house?" After seeing this, everyone in the Ma family thought that Xia Shengsheng had stayed in the backyard for a long time to make these biscuits to take home.
“It’s to help, but not to take it home.
Have someone bring a basket and give one to everyone, and have another basket out to give one to all the applicants who come in to apply.
Don't let them stand outside in vain. Tell them to go to the big locust tree in the village to enjoy the cool air and come back in the afternoon.
Otherwise, it’s pointless to wait here now, so I won’t go out for now.”
Xia Shengsheng was afraid that once she showed up, she would be surrounded by these people and would have to explain to them one by one, which would be troublesome.
So just let the Ma family say it.
"Okay, then I'll go tell the people outside.
Lanhua, take two people with you to distribute the things. The boss has given us some benefits again. Let’s make everyone happy!”
Mr. Ma’s arrangements were very appropriate.
She took the two of them out to distribute sugar cookies to the people gathered outside, and perfectly repeated Xia Shengsheng's words to everyone.
She knew many of these people.
Among them are her brothers and sisters from her mother's side, and her nieces from the same clan.
And most of these people also know Mr. Ma.
Ma Dajia was well-known when she was a girl and was a powerful person.
Later, she married the eldest son of the village chief of Kaoshan Village. Maybe she will be the village chief's wife in the future! Everyone was polite to Ma Dajia.
Everyone was given the sugar-coated cookies and they were all very happy. They were especially grateful to Xia Shengsheng.
They were the ones who arrived early, and they didn't expect that Mr. Xia would give them food, and it was sugar-coated biscuits. They didn't know what to say about such expensive things.
There are even some individuals who think that if they fail to get the job today, it would be good to come here and get a piece of sugar biscuit to give to their children at home.
After hearing what Mr. Ma said, he knew that standing outside someone's door so early would cause trouble for the boss named Xia.
So they thanked him one after another, and the group of people walked towards the big locust tree in the middle of the village.
There were one or two people still maintaining order.
I’m afraid of causing trouble to the village and others.
Xia Shengsheng looked through the crack in the door, paying special attention to the two people who were maintaining order.
When Ma Dajia came back from distributing the things, she specifically asked him if she recognized the two people from Ma Dajia.
Everyone in Ma looked back.
"I know the one in front, she's Lanhua's second sister-in-law. The one behind looks like someone from Chenjia Village, but I'm not sure."
Xia Shengsheng nodded and let Ma Da get busy.
Ma Da took a look at Xia Shengsheng and suddenly felt that these two people were very lucky.
Since Xia Shengsheng asked this, she must be planning to keep them both.
If I had known earlier, I would have reminded her younger brother and sister-in-law in advance so that they could show their performance.
However, Lanhua was happy that her second sister-in-law chose her.
Xia Shengsheng thought that after the instant noodle factory resumed operations, he planned to hire two more women to prepare lunch.
Let all the people in the factory eat lunch in the factory.
No need to go home and make trouble.
It can be considered a benefit provided to everyone after the factory has been open for so long.
The most important thing is that people from other villages work here and cannot go back home for lunch.
During the half hour of lunch break, the villagers would go back home to eat and then come back busy again, with no chance for a good rest.
It would be better to provide them with lunch so that they can have a short rest in the factory after eating and then face work in the afternoon with the best attitude.
You can’t pocket all the money you earn, you also have to improve the welfare of your employees appropriately!
Regarding this matter, Xia Shengsheng also informed the two supervisors of Ma Dajia and Li Erjia in advance.
The two of them were naturally very happy about Xia Shengsheng's decision.
But sometimes I feel a little worried. Xia Shengsheng’s salary was already high, and now he even provides lunch. Can he still make any money?
However, this is not something they can worry about. They just need to follow Xia Shengsheng's instructions.
Although Ms. Ma is usually the most powerful person in the village, she is very clear about her own identity.
Not to mention that she is not the village chief's wife now, even if his wife really becomes the village chief in the future, she will really become the village chief's wife.
Then as long as she works in Xia Shengsheng's factory for one day, she will be Xia Shengsheng's employee.
Xia Shengsheng is the priority in everything, and she will definitely get things done as Xia Shengsheng asks.
She still has this bit of self-awareness.
