Chapter 123 Paper workers

Mao Shuiqing is a native of Xibu.

Before the end of the world, he opened a shop in the town, specializing in the business of dead people. He mainly operates one-stop funeral services, such as chanting scriptures, mantras, wreaths and paper money, all of which are made by oneself, and the business is quite prosperous.

When the end of the world came, his family was dead, leaving only a bachelor. When the settlement was first built, the shop was taken away due to its thinness and weakness. Now there are only a few old houses left to live in poverty and life is in poverty.

Mao Shuiqing thought about returning to his old career and continuing to do business with dead people. But this world is no longer as dead as before. Survivors can't even cover their belly. People die at home, and they just find a place to bury them, so they can't have spare money to hold funerals.

Therefore, Mao Shuiqing was unemployed. In order to make a living, he could only find some odd jobs in the city every day to fill his stomach.

These days, he and a group of casual workers have been squatting on the streets of Zhenzhong. There is a large business here, which often recruits some casual workers to work. The effort is not much, and the reward is quite generous. Under normal circumstances, as long as you can receive work, you can keep your stomach from getting hungry for a few days.

Such good businesses come to wait for a lot of people to take on work. This morning, Maoshuiqing came before dawn, but he was still one step late. There were already hundreds of people next to the gate of the business.

There are also unwritten rules for coolies to work. The first person comes in line first, and the merchant issues a notice that how many people are needed to sign up in turn. If anyone goes to the line, he will be beaten by others. Don’t want to live in the coolies circle in the future.

"Damn, I'm going to starve again today!"

Mao Shuiqing touched his shriveled belly. With a glimmer of hope, he would still go to the back of the line to queue. Maybe this store has big work today and there are many people in need.

The business of this business is very prosperous. Since the door opened in the morning, customers have been crowded with people.

"How much food coupons will you earn in this day!"

Mao Shuiqing was envious. He was different from his fate. Before the end of the world, he was also a boss. Now, he can only look at him, hoping that others would give him a job and barely fill his stomach and live a life.

At around nine o'clock, a man and a woman came out of the business. She was not old and dressed brightly and looked like a person from the upper class.

"Manager Fang!"

Mao Shuiqing had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the man as the manager of the business. He was still holding a notice board in his hand.

“There’s a big job today!”

His eyes were shining and he was very surprised. Under normal circumstances, employees of this business bank issued notices, and today it was Manager Fang who took action personally. If the guess is good, there will definitely be a big deal.

Other coolies also saw the clues. However, they still squatted in the corner and did not flock to them.

Coolie has the rules of Coolie. When merchants issue notices, most of them don’t like to be watched. The reason is that the lives of coolies are difficult to maintain, and they lack management, and they have more or less bad smells on their bodies. If they hit the employer, let alone work, they might even ask for a fight.

Therefore, they waited for their employers to issue notices and took a few steps back before they came forward to watch.

Xiao Fang received instructions from the boss’s wife today and issued a notice to recruit papermaking workers needed by the boss. After he and Zhang Ting came out, they directly placed the notice board, facing a group of coolies, smiling and said loudly: "Our Fengcheng Trading Company is going to recruit several formal employees today, and the conditions are written on it. If you meet the requirements, come to my place to register directly!"

As soon as these words were said, all the coolies were extremely excited. They all knew that the employees of this business were treated very well and were more generous than those of official civil servants. If they could become formal employees, they would leave their status as coolies from then on, jumped into the dragon gate, and become a member of the upper class of Xibucheng.

Hundreds of coolies immediately flocked to the crowd. At the same time, there were passers-by around. When they heard that the Fengcheng Business Company was recruiting people, they also surrounded them.

This job not only tempted the coolies, but even the other survivors in the city were irresistible.

The crowd surrounded the crowd. When they saw the recruitment conditions on the notice board clearly, they were all stunned.

"Paper maker?"

"There is no paper mill near Liyang County, who knows this technology!"

The crowd was talking. Xiao Fang frowned when he heard this. It was still difficult to complete the task assigned by the boss according to the situation.

At this moment, a thin middle-aged man squeezed in, sweating profusely, and shouted at Xiao Fang: "Manager Fang, I know how to make paper! I know how to do it!"

This man is naturally Mao Shuiqing. It is true that he knows how to make paper, but he can only make straw paper for sacrifices. As for those with more refined ones, there is no such technology.

From the crowd talking and learning that Fengshou Trading Company was recruiting paper workers, he didn't think much about it and rushed in to sign up as soon as possible.

"Lao Mao, you can only make some straw paper when you are just a few times. The business companies are recruiting regular papermakers!"

"Yes, if you mess it up, it will be a bad end!"

Among the crowd, there were coolies who knew Mao Shuiqing. You said something or I said something, and most people laughed at me. Most of them had an envious and jealous attitude, and they could not meet the conditions themselves, and they also wanted to mess up other people's jobs.

This is the general mentality of the survivors of the end of the world.

"The straw paper is also paper. I can make it. Can you do it?"

Mao Shuiqing is also an old fried dough stick. He doesn't eat the tricks of these guys at all. He raised his head and chest to retort loudly.

Xiao Fang came over at this moment, looked at him, and asked, "Are you really good at making paper?"

"The ancestral craftsmanship is absolutely false!" Mao Shuiqing straightened his chest and was full of confidence. However, he was still a little nervous, wondering if the straw paper he made was qualified?

"good!"

Xiao Fang nodded and pointed at Mao Shuiqing and said, "You go with me to meet the boss now. If it is appropriate, as long as you go through the trial, you can become a formal employee of Fengcheng Trading Company!"

Headquarters of the business.

Li Ba took a shower, felt refreshed and went back to the room. He opened the door and saw that the room was full of waste paper, which was messy.

These waste papers are covered with crooked symbolic patterns as if they were graffitied by children. They are very strange when they see them at first sight.

There are more than 100 introductory talismans in the Five Elements. If you want to understand and understand them all, you will never be able to do it in a short period of time. Therefore, Li Ba chose a few and began to study them first.

Talisman pen, talisman paper, and spiritual ink. With these three things, you can draw talismans.

According to ancient books, painting talismans emphasize the brightness of the spiritual platform, without distraction, and complete it in one go. The first condition is to be proficient in the talismans drawn and be able to pick them up at will.

Therefore, before the talisman pen, talisman paper and spiritual ink were in place, Li Ba began to practice day and night.

The talisman he chose include water attack talisman, metal talisman, wood talisman, fire talisman. Four talisman methods are all complete in attack, defense, ban and escape. If he can fully master it, his own strength will be improved.

Now, after several days of practice day and night, Li Ba has already mastered these four tale methods, but he is not yet skilled. What he needs to do is to continue practicing, copy and portray, and only then can he achieve a small success by being proficient in his heart and being able to do it at will.

When he arrived at the table, Li Ba picked up the brush, calmed his energy and dipped his pen tip into ink, and slowly fell towards the rice paper in front of him. The dragon and the phoenix danced, and began to write.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all left by the former owner of this villa. The lustful old guy has a habit of art and elegance. He has collected a lot of high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Now he is used by Li Ba to practice drawing talismans.

On the pen holder next to the table, there are two pens. One of the hairs is black and made of moustaches on the little black tail. The other hairs are golden and taken from the monkey hair on the Monkey Brother's body.

The method of making is very simple, just replace the original hair. However, it took a lot of effort to get the hair. Li Ba took the initiative to solve the problem. As for the uncle Monkey, he dared not provoke him, so please ask the enemy to do it.

The hair of the mutant beast is made into a talisman pen, but I don’t know whether it is useful or not?

Li Ba was unsure of this. He only waited for a few days to prepare all the materials and would tell after a try.

After practicing for a while, the phone rang. News came that the papermaker had been recruited and asked the boss Li Ba, the boss, to interview in person.

Li Ba put down his brush, left the villa, and went directly to the office building.
