After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 381 Hiring Someone to Do the Work

Uncle Cui wanted to buy the shop. He had some money, and if the remaining amount was not enough, he could borrow some from their family.

Xu Qinghe and Cui had no objections, so they went to talk to Yuxiu about the matter.

All the money collected by the pharmacy these days was counted and stored in the space by Yuxiu.

In the tightly locked warehouse, there were only piles of empty boxes.

Anyway, only Cui has the key, and they put it in the space, so Xu Qinghe and Cui can rest assured.

Now that the shop is in shape, Yuxiu is also ready to sell the grain first.

Fortunately, the big warehouse that their family had built before was still there, so the family of three took advantage of the night when there was no one around and went to the warehouse together.

All kinds of grain had been packed in sacks. Yuxiu took out a lot of each and stacked them neatly in the warehouse.

However, crops like wheat and rice still need secondary processing. Yuxiu originally wanted to exchange for a few more rice and flour grinding machines, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do so.

The quality of these grains is much better than the ordinary grains out there. If they undergo various processing steps, they will definitely be even more eye-catching. It will be a troublesome matter if someone covets them.

Besides, it would be better to let Uncle Cui set up a mill at the same time, which would also provide the people with another way to make a living.

But these are the foundation of making a living, so you must find a reliable person to do it.

"We really need a mill. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to move so much grain outside to grind it."

Cui agreed, and Xu Qinghe remembered a courtyard he had seen before. Although it was a bit far from the street and the house was a bit shabby, it would be nice if it could be converted into a mill.

So the next day, after discussing it with Uncle Cui, the two of them took the silver notes and went to find Qian Da.

Because he was an old customer, Qian Da also said some good words for him, and the boss gave in a little. Uncle Cui and Xu Qinghe were both very satisfied.

After the two parties had reached an agreement, in order to avoid any further complications, they exchanged the money with one hand and the house deed with the other. Qian Da took them to the government office that same day to handle the paperwork.

After buying the shop, we have to start cleaning it up, and also take care of the mill over there. With only Uncle Cui and his two sons, they definitely cannot handle it.

Xu Qinghe was still thinking about asking some people from his family to come and help, but Uncle Cui said he already had a solution.

It happened that Xu Qinghe met an acquaintance and went to talk to him, so Uncle Cui left first.

However, he did not go directly to the shop, but took many detours to the north of the city.

"Uncle Cui, how come you have time to come here today?"

When Li Xiao opened the door, he saw Uncle Cui outside the yard.

"Xiao'er, who is that?"

Lin also came out of the house and was also stunned when she saw Uncle Cui.

"Brother Cui is here, come into the yard and sit down..."

Mrs. Lin awkwardly gathered the loose hair around her cheeks and politely invited Uncle Cui into the yard.

"It's like this. I'm planning to open a grain store and build a mill to grind rice and flour. We can't handle it all, so I thought..."

When Uncle Cui told Lin the purpose of his visit, Lin thought that he wanted Li Xiao to help out for a few days, so she quickly pulled her son's sleeve.

"You're just sitting there doing nothing anyway, why don't you go and get some work done with your Uncle Cui for a few days..."

The other person had helped her before, and she was just worrying about how to repay him, when this opportunity came to her.

Lin was somewhat happy. Not to mention asking Li Xiao to go over and help for a few days, if it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding suspicion, she would have wanted to go over and help for a while herself.

"Don't worry, just work hard there and we'll talk about your wages when the time comes."

Uncle Cui patted Li Xiao's shoulder and looked around the small yard. Although it was old and shabby, it was kept very clean and tidy.

"There's still a lot of work to do at the mill. I wonder if you guys have any help? Can you help me hire a few more..."

Uncle Cui smiled and said that if they wanted to convert the yard into a mill, they would have to demolish the old houses, rebuild them, and get some millstones and other things. There was indeed a lot to do.

"There are people. There are a lot of people."

When Lin heard that Uncle Cui was still looking for someone to do a job, she was delighted and didn't care about avoiding suspicion. She agreed immediately.

Life is not easy for people in the north of the city, so when something good happens, they naturally help each other.

Li Xiao called out at the door, and soon many men, women, old and young ran out from the courtyards of each house.

When they heard that Uncle Cui was looking for someone to do the job, these people rushed up and surrounded him, and began to recommend themselves.

"Don't make a fuss. My job here is hard and I won't be able to do it for long. If anyone is not afraid of hard work or fatigue, go and tell Li Xiao."

Uncle Cui waved his hand. He hired these people just to let them build the mill first. He still planned to hire a few people to work in the mill later.

He would definitely not feel at ease because the rice and flour were not from his own family.

If someone mixes in something that shouldn't be there, it could kill someone.

"As long as there is work to do, I am not afraid of any hardship or fatigue."

A black-faced man stood up first. It was indeed the man called Hei Niu.

"I'm not afraid either."

Following Hei Niu is Tiedan. Uncle Cui also saw it just now. Hei Niu has been standing with Tiedan and his mother, looking like a family.

"As long as we can earn a living, we have plenty of strength. As grown men, we are not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

"I'm not afraid either. Sir, just rest assured, we will do our job well."

We all have to support our families, so it's already great to have an opportunity. Who dares to be picky and complain?

Soon, a lot of people gathered around Li Xiao, and everyone expressed their desire to go to work.

After careful selection, Uncle Cui finally decided on eighteen people, and Li Xiao was in charge of their management.

He also asked Lin to find a few women to go with him and help prepare some food to feed these people three meals a day.

As for wages, the men received thirty cents a day and the women who cooked received twenty cents.

Hearing that there was also cooking work to be done, the women watching all scrambled to go. In the end, Lin chose Tiedan's mother and three other aunts, plus herself, a total of five people was enough.

After the matter was settled, Uncle Cui personally led the person to the purchased yard.

I gave them a general idea of ​​the layout of the mill and the areas that needed to be demolished.

These people often work outside on weekdays and are familiar with these things.

They also have some of the necessary tools, and Uncle Cui will find a way to find the insufficient ones.

Because it is already late today, everyone discussed it and decided to go back first and start working early tomorrow morning.
