Chapter 939: Recruitment [3]
"Really? I'm willing to sign the contract. Thank you, Manager Yao, and thank you, Qin family!" Madam Lü Pan thanked them profusely.
Lady Lü was also very excited, she never expected that the contract could be signed so soon. She hurriedly nudged Lady Lü Pan in the back to remind her, "Second sister-in-law, it's time for you to go."
There's a whole bunch of people waiting behind us, so don't waste their time.
Sure enough, the people behind Lady Lü all urged Lady Lü Pan to get lost with their eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey. Sister-in-law, I'll wait for you outside. Let's go to the next round of interviews together." Lu Panshi was scared and wanted to go with Lu Wangshi.
"Alright." Madam Lü nodded, then took her number plate, identity document, and interview details and presented them all to Madam Yao, smiling, "Manager Yao, please take a look."
He's a reliable person.
Madam Yao gave this assessment in her heart.
She picked up Lu Wangshi's identity and interview details booklet, looked at them carefully for a while, and then asked Luo Ningfang, who was leading the team, a few questions. She then smiled at Lu Wangshi and said, "After the interview, you meet the recruitment requirements of Qin Family Herbal Medicine Shop. If you are willing, you can proceed to the next round of interviews."
"I'm willing." Suppressing her excitement, Madam Lü said clearly. After receiving the number plate and list signed by Madam Yao, she left the spacious room and went to the open space outside to meet Madam Lü Pan.
"Sister-in-law, you've made it through too. That's great. I'm less afraid now." Lu Panshi held Lu Wangshi's hand, feeling a bit more at ease.
To be honest, if her sister-in-law weren't with her, Lu Panshi would be scared to go to work by herself.
Lady Lü laughed and said, "Alright, you're a mother of three now, and you're still so timid."
"Hmm." Madam Lü asked softly, "Sister-in-law, how much is the pay? We're considered female workers at the herbal medicine shop, right? Should we buy a couple of pounds of meat to take home and nourish the children, to celebrate?"
My sister-in-law has four children, and she has three; they're all at that age where they love to eat.
Lady Lü said, "Yes, let's buy two catties of meat to celebrate."
Although her parents-in-law died early and didn't leave much of a family fortune, and the family used up a sum of savings when they married them, they were able to afford meat occasionally thanks to the help of their uncle, the clan chief, and the dividends from the Lü family in the past two years.
With so many children, the burden will be enormous in the future, and we'll have to continue to tighten our belts and not be greedy.
When Lady Lü Pan saw that Lady Lü Wang had agreed, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
Lady Lü sighed inwardly... The reason her second sister-in-law was so greedy was because she had been starved when she was at her parents' home. Her own family was not well-off either, but fortunately, after marrying into the Lü family, life was much better than when she was at her parents' home.
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Those who have been interviewed for the third round, please come with us!" Xu Zhengmao and his wife Tao shouted, waving a red flag in their hands: "Look at the flag, follow the flag. There's also a red flag hanging outside the signing room. Those who can't read can go in by looking at the color of the flag!"
"Yes, yes, we understand, don't worry, manager!"
The interview team of 100 people left the open space and headed to the next room.
The herbal medicine shop was very large; it took quite a while to walk to the signing room with the red flag hanging there.
This contracted house will also be used to process medicinal herbs, so the house is very large, with a floor area of eight meters by eight meters, equivalent to 64 square meters in modern times.
The herbal medicine workshop had dozens of such large rooms, equivalent to dozens of houses, forming a sizable architectural complex.
Every time Qin Xiaomi came to the herbal medicine shop and looked at these buildings, she thought of giving Master Gong and the others a bonus... The speed was too fast. Construction started on the sixth day of the third month and all the houses were completed by the beginning of August.
It took another month to clean the house to the point where it was suitable for processing medicinal herbs.
That's incredibly fast.
Master Craftsman Gong explained: "Actually, it's not that fast. The walls and underground warehouse of the herbal medicine workshop are still under construction. The main structure can be completed and put into use in about six months, mainly because the Qin family is willing to pay the wages. With the wages in place, Master Craftsman Gong brought over a hundred craftsmen, and with the help of the Liu family's craftsmen team, the job was done."
The craftsmen from Gongda and Liujia Crafts Team are very worried...
"With such a large investment, and so many workers hired today, and a large harvest of medicinal herbs to come soon, can the Qin family handle it? Will they even be able to pay our wages in the end?" These words were spoken by Gong Hongfu, the son of Master Gong.
He was in charge of the bookkeeping and knew how huge the expenses of the Qin family's herbal medicine shop were, so he was very worried about the Qin family.
Snapped!
Master Gong slapped him on the back of the head and cursed, "It's recruitment day today, what unlucky things are you saying? Say something auspicious, or I'll deduct your pay."
"It was my fault, son. I'll say some auspicious words now." Gong Hongfu hurriedly apologized and sincerely said many auspicious words to bless the Qin family.
"Alright, get back to work. The Qin family's herbal medicine shop just opened yesterday and already got an order for a new deworming medicine worth a thousand taels of silver. A thousand taels of silver a day! That's enough for us to work for a lifetime. Why should we worry?" Master Gong's words reassured the craftsmen.
The craftsmen weren't worried about the Qin family's downfall or not getting paid. They happily finished their lunch and continued building the walls and the basement.
……
Inside the signing room, more and more people gathered, from the initial one hundred to the current four hundred and twenty, with two hundred and ten men and two hundred and ten women. They sat on the left and right sides, looking very well-behaved, but they were all very anxious.
Lu Panshi couldn't help but tug at Lu Wangshi again, whispering, "Sister-in-law, didn't we say we could sign the contract after discussing wages and hours? We've been waiting for ages, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
and also……
"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry."
Not only Lu Panshi, but everyone was hungry and wanted to go to the toilet, but they were afraid that if they left, they would miss the signing of the contract, so they held it in.
Dangdang Dangdang!
As the gong sounded, Qin Dashi and his wife, and Qin Dayan and his wife, came over and called out, "Fellow villagers, it's time for lunch. Please come with us to get your food. If anyone needs to use the restroom, come find us and we'll take you there. In half an hour, the owner of the herbal medicine shop will come to discuss the wages and hours with everyone and sign contracts with you."
"Oh, finally I can go to the toilet!"
"Give us food? We haven't done any work, and the Qin family is giving us food?!"
The villagers inside the house who signed the contract couldn't believe it.
"The Qin family is too generous. They feed people all the time, and they feed hundreds of people. Aren't they losing money?!"
There aren't just a few dozen people in this room, there are four hundred! If so many people are fed, is the Qin family going to give up after this meal?
Hearing this, Qin Dashi and his wife, and Qin Dayan and his wife, felt quite comforted... These people who passed the interview were all conscientious. It was worth it for Xiaomi to give them work instead of spending money to buy laborers with no contract.
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Fellow villagers, come with us to get some food!" Qin Dashi and his wife called out.
"Those who urgently need to use the toilet, come over here and we'll take you there!" Qin Dayan and his wife shouted.
"I...I need to go to the outhouse," Lu Panshi whispered.
Qin Dayan's wife smiled and said, "Okay, please wait next to me."
"Thank you, Steward." Madam Lü Pan hurried over, and Madam Lü Wang followed.
Soon, a large number of people took action.
Half an hour later, everyone had gathered. Few went to the toilet, but most went to eat. After all, everyone wanted to see how the food at the herbal medicine shop was.
