Chapter 214 Recruitment Troubles 2

Xiaoman was very confident just now and really acted like a female boss.

Lin Chunhua suddenly felt that if she could continue working with Lin Xiaoman, maybe the workshop would become bigger and stronger in the future and she could become a female manager.

I feel happy just thinking about it.

Lin Xiaoman suddenly noticed a very passionate gaze. When he turned around, he saw Lin Chunhua's smiling face and was startled.

"Why are you laughing so happily?"

Lin Chunhua was caught red-handed. Feeling guilty, she laughed out loud and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

How could she have the nerve to say that she was dreaming?

But Xiaoman must not know.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the sun, then at the increasingly long line of people waiting for interviews outside the hospital, and said to Lin Chunhua, "Chunhua, let them come in according to the queue order."

"it is good."

"Thank you, the only two students in Shanglin Village, for helping to take notes~"

As soon as Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, Xie Ci'an's hand holding the pen shook and he almost dropped the ink.

He moved the paper away calmly, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

While the two were talking, the first interviewer came in.

"Let me introduce myself first."

"Introduce yourself? Xiaoman, I'm Lin Erniu from the village entrance. You beat me when we were little, but you may have forgotten that you were still a..."

Lin Erniu almost said the word "idiot", but fortunately he remembered that his mother had repeatedly told him to keep his mouth shut and not talk nonsense before he left the house.

"Haha, Lin Daniu is my brother. I was making sausages at your house before. Your sausages tasted so good that I could eat two more pieces of bread. My mother scolded me for that..."

Xie Ci'an's hand holding the pen didn't move at all, and he didn't know where to start writing.

Seeing that he continued to talk nonstop, Xie Ci'an reminded him: "You are Lin Erniu, right?"

Lin Erniu was suddenly interrupted and was a little confused, but it was Xie Tongsheng who interrupted him, so he must have said something wrong.

"Xie Tongsheng, I, I am Lin Erniu."

Xie Ci'an said helplessly: "Then just talk about yourself, don't mention irrelevant topics like your elder brother and your mother."

Lin Erniu's face turned red. Oh, it was just as his mother said, his mouth was a nuisance.

"Okay, my name is Lin Erniu, and my eldest brother's name is Lin Daniu." Lin Erniu spoke nervously and stuttered. When he realized that he had said something wrong again, he wanted to slap himself.

"My family lives next to Uncle Wang's at the entrance of the village. My family is poor. My mother said that I am strong and eat a lot, so I have to find a job to marry a wife, otherwise I will be single for the rest of my life..."

Lin Xiaoman held back her laughter and looked at Xie Ci'an.

Seeing that the other party was equally helpless, he interrupted: "Lin Erniu, your mother said that you are very strong, can you tell me more about it?"

Lin Erniu scratched his head and said, "My eldest brother and I plow the fields in my family. I can easily lift the water tank in our house, and I can also easily lift a person with my arms."

Lin Xiaoman asked: "Can you mention my brother?"

Lin Erniu looked back at Lin Jingzhe and said, "Yes, anything heavier than your brother will do."

Lin Xiaoman became interested, "Brother, come quickly!"

Lin Jingzhe trotted in, thinking something went wrong with the interview.

"Brother, Lin Erniu said he can lift you up easily, why don't you let him try."

Lin Jingzhe closed his mouth and stared at Lin Xiaoman.

Really, why is it always him who gets hurt?

"Jingzhe, I'm sorry!"

Lin Xiaoman is a woman and Xie Tongsheng is a scholar, so they could only apologize to Lin Jingzhe at the scene.

Lin Erniu picked up Lin Jingzhe like a chicken, without any hesitation or pause.

Xie Ci'an picked up his pen and wrote on the rough paper: Lin Erniu is very strong and can lift Jingzhe with one arm.

......

"My name is Wang Xiaogou. Wang Ergou is my second brother, and I am the fifth child. My mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to me, and decided not to have any more children, so she named me Wang Xiaogou. Otherwise, I should be called Wang Wugou. Later there were Liugou, Qigou..."

"Pfft——"

Lin Xiaoman couldn't help laughing out loud.

Looking at Xie Ci'an again, he also couldn't help laughing and was almost hurt from holding it in.

Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder how his father and the village head had managed to hold back their laughter.

Especially Wang Xiaogou, who introduced himself seriously and was still talking at this moment.

"My second brother told me that in our workshop, as long as we work hard, don't be lazy, and listen to the boss, we will be fine. It's not like working in other places where we have to look at the master's face. If the master is unhappy, he will deduct money at any time, or he will not give us food, or he will delay paying us for several months. During the holidays, we have to give gifts to the master. After three years of learning, I haven't earned back the money I paid for apprenticeship. The master still orders us around every day and doesn't teach us any skills..."

Wang Xiaogou became more and more discouraged as he spoke, almost crying, "My parents and four brothers pooled money to let me learn skills, but I only learned the basics in three years. I told my master that he didn't teach me anything, but my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law didn't believe me. They all said that I was not diligent enough and that the master was unhappy, so he didn't want to teach me. I just quit my job."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoman asked, "Wang Xiaogou, ahem."

Lin Xiaoman just felt a little uncomfortable being called by this name, and hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up.

"If you are not selected today and you quit your job, what will you do?"

"If I'm not chosen, I'll take two sets of clothes and go to the county town to move goods. I'm strong and I can always find work. I'm already eighteen years old and I can't ask my brother and sister-in-law to give me money to help me find a wife."

Wang Xiaogou smiled shyly, "My mother also said that I have no chance and won't be selected, but I still want to give it a try, just in case I get selected!"

Lin Xiaoman nodded and asked, "What did you learn from your master?"

"I learned wood carving, but I only learned the basics. I made some small toys for my nephew, but I couldn't sell them."

"Can you do simple arithmetic?"

Wang Xiaogou shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no!"

Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay, next one."

Wang Xiaogou wanted to cry but had no tears: "It seems like what my mother said, there is no hope!"

......

In total, seventy-five people came for the interview, and this time, Lin Xiaoman only recruited twelve people.

Originally, we only planned to recruit ten people, but when it came to the interview, we remembered that medicinal herbs, comfrey, mugwort and the like also needed to be ground into powder, which also required two people to do, so we increased the number of people to twelve.

Among the seventy-five people, twenty-nine were from Shanglin Village and twenty-one were from Xialin Village.

Twelve out of seventy-five is less than one out of five. At the end of an interview, half of the people sighed and left, while the other half stayed at the gate and were unwilling to leave.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the people who were reluctant to leave and explained, "Go back, folks. The recruitment results will be posted at the gate of the hospital in two days."

"It will take two days, boss. If I don't get accepted this time, will I have another chance next time?"

Lin Xiaoman said, "If we're hiring next time, come back. The Lin family workshop will also have preserved egg and Chinese sausage workshops in the second half of the year, and both will be hiring."

After seeing off all the interviewees, Lin Xiaoman closed the gate and said he was tired.

Interviewing is a physical job. You have to hold back your laughter during the interview, and you also have to observe the interviewee's conversation and subconscious behavior...

Fortunately, she set an age limit in the first place, otherwise there would be even more people coming for the interview.

Just like today, there were four over-age people mixed in and tried to get away with it.

Fortunately, we all have household registration, so those who can read can figure it out at a glance.

Fortunately, there was Xie Ci'an. He didn't call them Xie Tongsheng for nothing, as all four of them were caught by him.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Don't leave. Stay for dinner." Lin Xiaoman put away the rough paper next to Xie Ci'an and said, "Help me decide which candidates to choose later."

Lin Jingzhe shook his head, "No, I don't have any experience in this matter."

Li Erli also shook his head. "Except for the people in Shanglin Village, I can't even recognize all the faces of people in other villages, let alone give you advice. I really can't give you any advice. You should ask Xie Tongsheng. He is a scholar and has a photographic memory."

Lin Xiaoman turned to look at Xie Ci'an, "You're not going to follow their example and evade responsibility, are you?"

Xie Ci'an said helplessly: "How dare I."

Lin Xiaoman showed a satisfied smile, "Well, this is more like it."

Lin Jingzhe shook his head, walked over and patted Xie Ci'an on the right shoulder, "There is dust on your clothes, let me dust it for you."

As he spoke, he occasionally glanced at Lin Xiaoman who was walking towards the kitchen, "Speaking of which, why are you being led by my sister by the nose now?"

"Why?" Xie Ci'an also asked himself, "Xiao Man is a girl."

Lin Jingzhe sneered, "Think it over carefully before you speak. There are many women on the street, but no one can control you."

Xie Ci'an looked harmless, "You think you can order me around?"

Lin Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, and Xie Ci'an just managed to escape.

In the kitchen, Lin Xiaoman was standing with one hand on his waist, directing Lin Chunhua to make cakes.

The posture was just like that of the landlord Liu who exploited his slaves.

Xie Ci'an stuffed two pieces of firewood under the stove. Seeing Lin Xiaoman change to tapping his back with one hand, he silently went outside to bring in a stool, "Xiaoman, sit down."

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoman's eyebrows relaxed, and spring blossomed in her eyes, "Ah, I'm not tired! But thank you anyway."

Actually, she was tired of sitting after such a long interview.

The purpose of tapping the back is to activate the muscles and bones.

If Lin Chunhua hadn't volunteered to cook like she was offering a treasure, she could have done it herself in no time.

However, he couldn't refuse a young lady's enthusiasm, so Lin Xiaoman could only stand by and give orders while worrying.

At the speed Lin Chunhua cooks, when will they be able to eat?

"Two forces?"

Aunt Li brought in a pot of braised pork.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I saw that everyone had left but you didn't come back. I thought that Xiaoman must have asked you to stay and eat before leaving, so I brought the stewed meat. Xiaoman rarely cooks dishes." Aunt Li smiled and asked Li Erli to take the basin in and left.

Li Erli brought the meat in. Lin Chunhua had just finished making the pancakes. Lin Xiaoman quickly made a three-fresh soup, and Lin Jingzhe got the beggar's chicken from the backyard.

Li Erli's eyes widened, and he felt that this trip as a door god was worth it.

The villagers who came for the interview were very self-disciplined and there was no noise or pushing. He, the "door god", was just a decoration. Except for being used as a human tool once, Jingzhe was free the rest of the time.

"Xiao Man, the beggar's chicken you make is really delicious."

Lin Chunhua was proud, "Of course, I didn't even look at who made it. Xiaoman had already put it in the backyard to roast it early in the morning."

Lin Jingzhe distributed the bowls and chopsticks, tore open the lotus leaf covering the beggar's chicken, and used chopsticks to tear the chicken into several pieces.

Lin Chunhua moved her nose and said, "It smells really good."

Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. We are pressed for time, so I have to inconvenience you all."

The baked pancakes and beggar's chicken were still steaming. I took a bite of the pancake and a bite of the chicken. I rolled up the pancake and sandwiched some tender stewed pork belly in it. The delicious taste immediately filled my mouth.

A bowl of delicious three-fresh soup can make all the fatigue of the day disappear.

Full of food.

Lin Chunhua went home first after packing up.

Li Erli agreed to Guyu's request and made a kite out of a piece of bamboo and left.

There were three people left, and Lin Xiaoman took out the rough paper.

The iron-like and silver-like handwriting, as well as the bold and freehand handwriting, are incompatible with the yellowed rough paper.

The writer's character can be seen between the lines.

It is very different from when he first came to Shanglin Village.

Young people should have lofty ambitions, and this is what he is talking about.

Lin Xiaoman didn't think any more and looked at the two of them and said, "I have a candidate in mind. Let's see if he is suitable..."

When Lin Jingzhe heard Lin Erniu among the names Lin Xiaoman read out, his face twisted.

Fourteen or fifteen years old is the age when one is very concerned about his reputation. He felt extremely embarrassed to be used as a human hammer.

"There are many strong people. Lin Erniu has no other strengths except for his strength. Why did you choose him?"

In front of Xie Ci'an, who was both his friend and teacher, Lin Jingzhe felt even more ashamed, and his face turned red with anger.

"Brother, there are many strong ones, but Lin Erniu is the strongest."

Lin Jingzhe looked at his small body and to be honest, he was very envious of Lin Erniu.

What did he eat to grow up? He has a body full of muscular muscles like a bull and is extremely strong.

The key point is that the same is true for Lin Daniu, but their parents are as thin as bamboo poles, but the three sons in the family are tall and strong, which is an exception in Shanglin Village, a poor and water-scarce place.

Lin Xiaoman's eyes curved into crescents, "Brother, since this is a closed-door interview, no one else will know about your embarrassing incident. Besides, it is widely acknowledged throughout Shanglin Village that Lin Erniu is very strong, so it's not embarrassing to be mentioned by him. Even if it was Brother Erli, the result would probably be the same."

Lin Jingzhe pretended to be serious and covered his chest, "But why is it always me who gets hurt..."

Lin Xiaoman smiled slyly, "Because you are my brother. There is a difference between relatives and strangers. If I don't order you to come, do you think I should ask Brother Erli to come? Wouldn't that be rude?"

After saying that, she turned to Xie Ci'an who was sitting opposite her and said, "Brother Ci'an, don't you think so?"

"Yes, indeed." Xie Ci'an forced a smile on his face, "Xiao Man is the most polite young lady in the village."

Lin Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction, "I think so too."

Lin Jingzhe shook his head, "Xiao Man is the most shameless girl in the village!"

"you!"

Lin Xiaoman pretended to hit him, but Lin Jingzhe dodged and jumped behind Xie Ci'an.

"Xiao Man, it's getting late. Dad and Mom should be back from their grandparents' house by now. If you don't discuss it, Ci'an will go back. Then the list will be announced one more day later, and your soap will be made one more day later. It's not worth losing money in vain!"

Lin Xiaoman didn't argue with Lin Jingzhe, he sat down and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, then you tell me, are the twelve people I mentioned okay?"

Of the twelve people selected by Lin Xiaoman, six were from Shanglin Village, three were from Xialin Village, and the remaining three were from nearby villages.

Putting aside their appearance, people are hardworking and down-to-earth.

Lin Jingzhe was stubborn and said, "It's just okay!"
