In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 309 Recruiting Workers in Chenjia Village

"Besides yellow-feathered chickens, we also have white-feathered chickens from Chenjia Village. The ducks have snow-white feathers, just like swans, and they taste excellent. No customer who has tried them has ever said they are not delicious."

"And more."

The shopkeeper tugged at his clothes, saying with a hint of pride, "These clothes of mine were also transported from Chenjia Village to sell. They're filled with chicken and duck down, so they're really warm!"

Shopkeeper Wang glanced at the clothes on the shop assistant and noticed that they were indeed different from ordinary linen clothes, appearing to be thicker.

"That Chenjia Village is really rolling in money."

The man looked on with envy: "I heard from other people who have been to Chenjia Village that the villagers there eat meat every meal, and even their farts are oily. They live a better life than people in our county!"

"Where is this Chen Family Village?" Manager Wang asked calmly.

"Go out from the north gate, and it's about ten miles or so to get there!"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "Give us a stir-fried yellow-feathered chicken and a braised white-feathered duck with ginger..."

After ordering a few dishes, the waiter left.

"That Chenjia Village must be the place we're looking for!"

Manager Wang said thoughtfully.

"Not bad!"

Qingying nodded in agreement. Since so many of the unique chickens and ducks in this county came from Chenjia Village, it was highly likely that the Blood Feather Chicken also came from Chenjia Village.

Before long, the dishes were served by the waiter.

Qingying poked at the golden-yellow chicken in the plate with her chopsticks a few times and found that the chicken was indeed very special. Common gray-feathered chickens usually have more bones and less meat.

The yellow-feathered chicken meat is plump, golden in color, and has an enticing aroma of oil.

Manager Wang picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, he nodded in satisfaction: "The waiter was right, this yellow-feathered chicken is indeed delicious."

As they spoke, Manager Wang quickened his pace in picking up meat, and the others also started eating the chicken and duck on their plates.

Fifteen minutes later, after finishing his meal, Manager Wang wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth with a tissue provided by the restaurant and said to Qingying, "Miss Qingying, shall we take a walk around the city?"

"it is good!"

Qingying nodded.

So the two left the rest of the caravan in the restaurant and went out side by side to stroll around the city.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the north gate. Just then, a commotion came from the direction of the sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw many people walking hurriedly out of the city.

"What are they doing?"

Qingying said in confusion, it was already afternoon and there was not much time left before the city gates closed, but these people were walking out of the city at this time, which made her very puzzled.

"Little brother."

Shopkeeper Wang stopped a young man walking hurriedly and asked, "Why are you heading out of the city?"

The young man who had been pulled back turned and looked at Manager Wang, asking in surprise, "You don't know?"

"I don't know."

"We went there for a job interview."

The young man explained, "These days, people from Chenjia Village come to the city gate every day to recruit workers, so we went outside the city to try our luck."

Chenjia Village?

Manager Wang and Qingying exchanged a glance and quickly followed the young man out of the city.

As soon as you step out of the city gate, a cacophony of noise hits you, and you see that the area outside the city is already teeming with people, a sea of ​​people as far as the eye can see.

also……

Further away, there were many simple wooden houses, a sight that left Manager Wang and his companion looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Little brother."

Shopkeeper Wang asked the young man in front of him very politely, "Is Chenjia Village hiring so many people?"

"Of course not!"

Without hesitation, the young man replied, "Including the refugees outside the city, there are no fewer than several thousand people. Chenjia Village has no need for so many people."

The young man sighed, "I wish I could be chosen by Chenjia Village. I've heard that anyone who goes to work in Chenjia Village can eat their fill every day and earn several hundred coins a month. Unfortunately, there are too few people being recruited, so it's impossible for me to get a chance!"

After saying that, the young man ignored Manager Wang and tried his best to squeeze into the crowd.

Amidst the crowd, Liu Qiaoshou felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the surging throng.

After more than half a month of construction, Liu Qiaoshou's furniture shop has been completed and will soon open for business.

But when you open a business, you need someone to help with the work, right?

The entire Chenjia Village and Xiaohe Village were helping Chen Dao with the work. The only person Liu Qiaoshou could command was Wang Ling, whom he had brought back to the village, which was clearly not enough.

Therefore, Liu Qiaoshou and other craftsmen who opened shops thought of recruiting people in the county town, mainly the migrants from outside the county town.

Yes.

Before Liu Qiaoshou, the craftsmen who had opened shops in Liujiang had already come to the county town to recruit people. It was because of their arrival that the news of Chenjia Village recruiting people spread throughout the county town, causing a sensation.

In reality, the benefits Liu Jiang and his team offered to recruit people weren't very good, at least not as good as Chen Dao's. They only provided two meals a day plus a monthly salary of 200 coins.

What the villagers of Chenjia Village considered a very ordinary, or even unworthy, treatment was seen as a windfall by the migrants from outside the city.

Two full meals a day and a monthly income of 200 coins—this was a dream come true for these starving refugees!

As a result, Liu Jiang and others' recruitment efforts received an enthusiastic response from the refugees, and even... attracted the attention of the people in the city.

Naturally, this led to the scene we see today: all the refugees outside the city, including many residents of the city, flocked to Chenjia Village when they heard about the job openings, crowding the area outside the city to capacity.

"Carpenter Liu, hire me! I'll definitely work hard."

"Give me a spot! I definitely won't slack off!"

"Carpenter Liu, I want to do your work!"

"..."

The refugees looked at Liu Qiaoshou with eager eyes, wishing they could be chosen by her immediately. On the periphery of the crowd, many people who had come from the city were also trying their best to push forward, hoping to attract Liu Qiaoshou's attention.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me tell you about the job benefits first!"

Liu Qiaoshou gestured for everyone to quiet down, then said, "This time I'm recruiting people to help with carpentry work, so those with carpentry skills will be given priority. As for the pay, two meals a month will be provided, and I'll receive 200 copper coins a month."

"Pick me, pick me, I can do carpentry."

"I can do it too!"

"Carpenter Liu, please give me a spot. I'm sure I can do a good job!"

"Me too."

"..."

The applicants were even more excited. Two meals a day and a monthly salary—this was a job you couldn't find even with a lantern!
