Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 463 Red Skirt

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I'm rebuilding the factory and urgently need people to help, so it's better to bring people there earlier."

Wu Ping snorted: "I've already decided on the candidate, wait a moment, I'll call him over for you."

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and stood still and waited quietly.

Wu Ping walked fast, striding like flying on the muddy road.Her performance made Niu Xiaoqiang, who was born in the mountains, feel ashamed.

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: Although I am an authentic mountain dweller, I have degenerated a bit now. If I were allowed to advance in this kind of place at the speed of Sister Ping, I would definitely fall into a muddy dog.

Wu Ping was still in a hurry, and without much effort, she brought seven men in shorts to Niu Xiaoqiang: "This is the one I chose. Take a closer look, are they suitable?"

The eyes of these seven men were a little shy, and they didn't dare to meet Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes. It was obvious that they were very honest people.Their bodies are very thin, so thin that even the ribs on their bodies are clearly visible, and they can count the number of ribs without reaching out and touching them.

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated and said: "Sister Ping, what they are going to do in the future is physical work. They are so thin, do they have the strength to undertake physical work?"

Wu Ping curled her lips: "They are only thin because they don't eat well, but they still have strength. If you don't believe me, let them show you."

Wu Ping said to the seven men: "Each of you find a stone and lift it up as big as you can. This is related to whether you can be a worker. You must perform well."

When the seven men heard this, they all rushed to be the first. Each of them found a big stone and lifted it in the air.

Although the scene looked a bit funny, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't laugh, his face was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect these people to have such great strength.

Even the smallest stone weighs more than sixty catties, and the largest stone weighs more than eighty catties.This kind of weight is not something that ordinary people can lift.

Wu Ping nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with a smile: "How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang come to his senses, and he hurriedly asked everyone to put down the stone: "You really didn't lie to me, I want all these seven people, you let them wash up, put on their clothes, and then follow me to the new factory to sign the contract." contract."

Wu Ping showed embarrassment when she heard the words. She moved closer to Niu Xiaoqiang's ear and whispered, "Their family is too poor and they don't even have a decent dress. Can you prepare a few sets of clothes for them first? When they get dressed Then sign a contract with you? As for the cost of buying clothes, deduct them from their wages."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's true that I didn't think about it, but it will take a lot of time to do things according to your method, how about this, I'll take them to the other side of the river and let them wait on the boat , I went to the town to buy a few sets of clothes, they put them on on the boat, and then went to report to the factory with me, what do you think?"

Wu Ping has no objection to this: "That's fine, you wait for me for a while, I'll go wash up, put on clean clothes, and then go there together."

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated and said, "Are you going to go with me too?"

"Of course, none of them can read. If I don't help, how can they sign a contract with you?"

Niu Xiaoqiang also thought about it: "Okay, we will wait for you here."

Wu Ping nodded, turned and left.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Wu Ping came back.Her hair was wet, and she put on a set of blue-gray cloth clothes, which looked a bit rustic.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't delay, and led the crowd towards the river.On the way, Wu Ping called Lao Wang and asked him to help row the boat.

Half an hour later, the wupeng boat docked at the river bank not far from the wharf in Aoshan Town.Niu Xiaoqiang and Wu Ping went to the town to buy clothes, while the others stayed on the boat and waited.

"Xiaoqiang, your speed is quite fast. It's only been a few days, and you have started to renovate the factory building. If you are too busy, you can tell my sister, and she can arrange some manpower for you."

"Sister Ping, do you want to earn wages? If you want to earn wages, just say so, don't make it so grandiose."

Wu Ping was not at all embarrassed: "Isn't it natural to get paid for work? Tell my sister the truth, do you need help?"

Since the renovation project is not too big, Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't need a helper here yet, and I'll tell you when I need it."

Wu Ping curled her lips, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you said that kind of thing just now? Isn't that just kidding me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed a few times, and then got back to the topic: "Sister Ping, according to the current construction progress estimate, how long do you hope the farm will be able to complete the construction work?"

"It can be completed in 20 days at most. I want to ask you about the seedlings. Do you know where to buy fish fry and chicken, duck, and goose seedlings?"

"You can go to the Qingjiang Reservoir to buy fish fry, and you can buy other seedlings from the agricultural station."

Wu Ping groaned, and asked uncertainly, "How many seedlings can I buy for 1 yuan?"

"It must be enough. Those seedlings are not expensive. The main reason is that the follow-up feed is more expensive. If the feed is not enough, you can use corn sorghum and other miscellaneous grains instead."

Wu Ping asked: "Miscellaneous grains don't fall from the sky. I think the purchase of these things should be accounted for and included in the cost. Do you have any objection?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "Of course I have no objection. This is also a way to invigorate the economy of Gufeng Township. You can let the mountain people plant some, and then sell them to the farm. The farmers can earn money and get a living. improve."

Wu Ping nodded and continued to exchange opinions with Niu Xiaoqiang.After arriving at the clothing store, Niu Xiaoqiang picked out two sets of uniforms for each worker. As for the work uniforms, there are still some in 311 Factory, but they will not be distributed for the time being. They will not be distributed until the newly established Asian Machinery Factory officially starts operation. .

When paying the bill, Niu Xiaoqiang saw a red cotton-padded jacket hanging on the hanger, and he couldn't help thinking of the red skirt he bought for Wu Ping in Zhouguang, "Sister Ping, try the skirt I gave you. Have you worn it?"

Wu Ping nodded: "Try it on, let alone, it looks good on the body, but... the skirt is a bit tight, and the arms and legs are exposed. I dare not wear it in Gufeng Township."

That skirt is the most open style at the moment. Even in places like Zhouguang, not everyone dares to wear it. In Gufeng Township, it is even more excessive, and it will make the villagers feel indecent.
