Chapter 683: Eastern Romans Watching Movies(1/3)

"Hey guys, you know what? Everything William said is true."

"Our work in the mountains is very easy. Every hour, they will let us take a break and drink some water before going back to work."

"And the food we ate was really delicious! Oh my God! I swear to God that I have never had such delicious food in my whole life!"

"Also, when we were working in the past, didn't we have to work until it was completely dark before we could stop working? But look at it now, it's not dark yet!"

"Oh my god, it's too early for us to finish work! Besides, I just earned ten copper coins, and I can have a nice drink of two glasses of ale."

"Well, let me see, maybe I could go talk to Jenny. I think that would be a good idea. She must really like hearing about things in the mountains, don't you think so, man?"

"Ah ha, yes, that's a nice note! Would you like to have a couple of glasses of ale together?"

"Oh, no, my fireplace needs to be repaired. I think I need some money."

The miners working in the mountains chatted happily and exaggeratedly while leaving calmly.

Judging from their relaxed pace, it seemed as if they had been promoted from commoners to nobles all at once. It seemed that in just one day, they had distanced themselves from other people in terms of status.

"Bah, what are you so pretentious about? Isn't it just a day's work in the mountains? I can't stand this kind of person the most!"

"That's right, what's so cool about it? It's our turn for the next batch, okay?"

"Hey man, that's not what I meant."



The part-time workers recruited by Huaxia City have an easy job, and their three meals a day are very delicious. They are delicacies they have never tasted before.

Li Min has something to say about this.

At present, the vast majority of the people in Eastern Rome are very poor.

Which nobles can eat soft toasted bread?

And most of them can only drink porridge.

In this case, their judgment on food is really unreliable.

The food on the mountain is naturally the food of the Han people.

But Chinese and Western tastes are bound to be different.

It is impossible for Li Min to completely ignore their taste issues and simply introduce Chinese food.

Li Min fully examined the preferred tastes of later Westerners and selected the most acceptable Chinese food as the main meal.

Let me ask, in this case, how could they not feel that this is a delicacy they have never eaten before?

News like this spread like wildfire.

Soon, all the Eastern Roman people in the concession knew the news.

Almost everyone couldn't sit still.

This news had a huge impact on them.

They want to do such a good job!

Therefore, they are looking forward to the news of the second recruitment every day.

Some brave people even went to the board of directors of the concession to inquire.

The answer I got was that the second recruitment will start soon.

Not only that, a factory will be built below the concession.

At that time, a large number of manpower will be recruited.

After receiving this news, the Eastern Roman people in the entire concession became even more unable to sit still.

From that day on, a large number of people gathered outside the management office of the concession every day, waiting for the concession to recruit workers again.

I'm afraid I missed this opportunity.

This time, they didn't have to wait long.

Soon, the second recruitment began.

This time, the number of people recruited was indeed much more than last time.

This time, almost one-tenth of the young people in the entire concession were recruited to work.

Of course, the recruitment this time is mainly for the construction of factories.

Once the factory is actually built, I'm afraid we won't need so many people.

But with the opening of the mines and the construction of factories, the entire concession gradually became more vibrant.

For example, if there is more workmanship and more wear and tear, shops selling clothes and shoes will sell more than usual.

Their profits increased, and there were several more shops selling clothes and shoes throughout the concession.

Because there are more people working, at night, those workers who have money like to drink everywhere.

As a result, the business of the liquor store has improved a lot.

Along with other grocery stores, bakeries and other shops, business is booming than before.

Newly opened shops fill the streets.

If there are more shops, it is natural to need assistants.

These guys are naturally hired from the concession.

But now, manpower has actually begun to become tense.

Especially skilled workers will be pried away at high prices.

Even if they are new workers, it will be difficult to hire them at the old price.

Now the salary of a new worker has actually increased to five copper coins.

The wages of a skilled worker have risen to the price of ten copper coins.

Because the Chinese Commercial Bank mined and set up factories, the entire concession followed the profits.

The so-called duck prophet of spring river water warmth.

The first people to notice the changes in the lives of the people in the concession were the Eastern Roman citizens around them.

Originally, everyone was on the same starting line.

Everyone lives on porridge every day, and no one has the right to laugh at anyone.

But in just a few months, everyone in the concession has actually eaten bread!

I heard that they ate rice and steamed buns at the construction site.

Although the taste is not as good as bread, the food eaten elsewhere is truly delicious.

It's so delicious.

I heard that they have never eaten such delicious food in their lives.

Moreover, for one day's wages, he still had ten copper coins.

Even new workers in the town at the foot of the mountain are paid five copper coins every day. Can you believe this?

They also wanted to try what the steamed buns and rice tasted like.

Of course, they would rather go to the mountains to work.

However, this is impossible.

Because they are from the concession, they will only select people internally.

People living outside the concession can only envy and hate the people inside the concession.

Of course, there are actually certain contradictions within the concession.

These contradictions are mainly due to language.

There is a language barrier between the two parties, and they cannot communicate effectively with the management.

In the entire concession, there were very few people who could speak their language, only three or four people.

I heard that this is just to take care of the newly opened concession.

When the number of concessions increases in the future, these people who can speak their language will be transferred elsewhere.

Because of this situation, there are many problems in communication.

And some smart people began to try to learn Chinese.

At first they only learned a very simple word.

Every day when I see the manager of Huaxia City, I shout: "Good morning!"

Then that day, this common man was promoted and became the leader in charge of an area.

And his wages increased by half, to fifteen copper coins a day.

And his work is much easier than before.
