MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 129 female carpenter

There was an old tree beside the village well, and there were several pillars placed under the tree all year round. Qin Yao found an empty place to sit down, picked up her homemade wooden workbook and pen, and started interviewing one by one.

The three Liu Bai brothers have all arrived, and there are still dozens of acres of land to be confiscated. Zhang said that even if they spend money to hire day laborers to help harvest it, they cannot let the three of them miss this opportunity.

Quarrying costs twelve coins, polishing them costs ten coins, including breakfast and lunch. Although it is not as good as the 400 coins that Qin Yao directly gave three people for grinding, one is stable in the long term and the other is only temporary. Eight days a day, that's not the same thing at all.

As for harvesting rice at home, just hire a part-time worker to provide a lunch and pay someone else six or eight cents. There is still a price difference in the middle, so you can definitely make a profit!

Old man Liu was not happy with all three sons going at first. He and Qiu were both anxious. Later, after hearing Zhang's calculations, he agreed.

However, there are not many villagers who are as good at calculation as Zhang. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the autumn harvest is the most important, so they can't bear to delay it.

There are still some people whose rice matures late, and it will not be until mid-to-late August when they are finished harvesting. They can only wait for others to spare their hands to respond.

Someone also came over and asked Qin Yao if he wanted to be a part-time worker.

There are currently no long-term and substantial orders, so Qin Yao doesn't insist on saying anything. She just asks those of them who want to do odd jobs part-time to stand aside and wait to see if she can find enough permanent workers for more than three months.

The eldest grandson of the village chief’s family also came. Among the black and thin villagers, he was tall and strong and stood out.

Qin Yao: "Name, age, and what kind of job should I apply for?"

“Liu Qi, seventeen, should be recruited as a stone quarry worker.”

As soon as these words came out, although the three brothers Liu and Bai felt that Qin Yao would not leave their family behind, they were still worried.

Qin Yao looked at Liu Qi calmly. Except for those who were born with superior genes, the number of people in the village who could be as strong as Liu Qi could be counted with one slap.

 She nodded and asked some basic questions, whether she knew how to quarry stone and whether she had any experience.

Liu Qi shook his head. He had never quarried stones before, but he learned quickly and was very strong. On the spot, he even lifted the grain bags that the villagers had temporarily put under the tree to dry in the sun. He lifted the bags with one hand and straight arms, which was very powerful.

Qin Yao emphasized on her notes: Zero experience, excellent physical strength.

 “Next one.” She waved her hand, gesturing for those behind her to come forward.

The results were not given in person. After Qin Yao finished counting, he had to take it back to Carpenter Liu to check. After finalizing the number of people, he went to each house to notify them.

There were twenty-three people who applied for the job, all of whom were young men in the village. The oldest was thirty-eight years old and the youngest was fifteen.

　　It was He's turn. Knowing that no one was competing with her for the position of chef, a smile appeared on her face. She told Qin Yao on the spot about her ability to measure rice and promised not to waste a grain of rice on her.

The villagers who were watching laughed when they heard this. Some said she was too good, while others praised her for being really good at wielding a large spoon.

 The villagers always invite the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, He and Zhang, to cook banquets. He's cooking skills are generally recognized as excellent.

Since there was no additional opponent, Qin Yao said on the spot: "He Hua, come to my house after dinner in the evening, and let's count heads so we can buy groceries."

"Ah? I'm done now?" He asked in surprise.

Qin Yao smiled helplessly, "Yes, you will be the chef of our Liujiacun Watermill Factory from now on."

“Hahaha, let me tell you, if you don’t choose me, who else can you choose? There is no one better than me!”

He was very happy, her self-confidence was very high, and she looked at everyone proudly.

 Maybe she has her own filter, Qin Yao thinks she is a bit cute.

Qin Yao signaled her eldest brother to pull her sister-in-law aside to block others.

Liu Bai smiled lightly, grabbed his wife, and called his brothers to go home first. Anyway, Qin Yao said, they were just here to go through the motions. While there is still time, harvest a few more acres of land, avoid one day of short-term work, and save money.

Yun Niang walked nervously to Qin Yao. She was the last applicant.

"Qiao Yun, twenty-two years old, is applying for a job as a carpenter." She imitated the previous words and gave out her personal information.

Qin Yao recorded it and then asked her: "What do you know?"

When Yun Niang mentioned what she was good at, she didn't panic and said one by one: "Splashing ink, planing boards, painting, and mortise and tenon assembly, all of them are fine."

Qin Yao looked at her in surprise, "Have you had any relevant experience?"

Yun Niang nodded fiercely, "Yes, I used to help my father make tables, chairs and benches at home."

 So, Qin Yao added after her personal information: She has sufficient experience and is a carpenter.

Anything related to writing, drawing and painting, I can recognize a few words and a few numbers.

Yun Niang didn’t mean to read it, but as soon as she lowered her head, she saw the word carpenter written by Qin Yao on the notebook, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Qin Yao stood up and put away the pen and paper, "Is there anyone else who wants to be called? If not, I'll stop here today. Everyone, go home and wait for the news. I'll discuss it with Carpenter Liu and I'll inform everyone."

There is still life in the fields. After hearing this, everyone dispersed one after another.

Qin Yao turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village. After walking less than two hundred meters, she arrived at the grassland, which was less than two minutes away from the entrance of the village.

Seeing Qin Yao, Carpenter Liu asked the two workers to continue working, put down the saw in their hands and walked to the roadside, "How many people have been recruited?"

 He just saw a lot of people at the village well.

Qin Yao pointed to the grass on the roadside, and the two sat down on the spot, using the small tree branches extending above their heads to block the sun.

Qin Yao opened the book and said: "There are twenty-three people in total who have applied. Minus the two carpenters like you, there are sixteen places left. Among them, the cook has been confirmed to be my sister-in-law He Hua."

“Three of the remaining quarrymen have been identified: Liu Bai, Liu Zhong, and Liu Qi, the eldest grandson of the village chief’s family.”

"Liu Fei is looking for a polisher, and he is one of them. I also recommend a skilled carpenter to you. This is Qiao Yun, Yun Niang of Liu Merchant's family."

The carpenters Liu in front had known that there was no surprise, and the three brothers Liu Bai were experienced, and they had to rely on them to take care of the people behind.

 But what happened to this Yun Niang?

“We are a bunch of men, wouldn’t it be bad if you asked Yun Niang to come?”

Qin Yao directly handed the recruitment information booklet to him, "Then look at how many of these are eye-catching!"

　　Liu Carpenter smiled helplessly, "I'm illiterate, so I can't tell anything if you show me."

“Then I’ll read it to you.” Qin Yao read out all the information on the carpenter recruitment in the book.

Carpenter Liu’s brows are getting tighter and tighter. Why are these people so confident that they should apply for a job as a carpenter even if they don’t know anything?

Because the salary is high, everyone wants to try their luck. If they are selected, there are not two strong opponents.

Hearing Qin Yao read again, "She has enough experience and is a carpenter," Liu Carpenter pointed excitedly, "Isn't there a good one? It's him!"

“This is Yun Niang.” Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, feeling very proud.
