They were not sure what their master meant and were a little bit shy.
In the end, the only people who dared to work at Xu Yue's house were Yang Wazi, whose family was extremely poor, Lao Wutou, who still had a surplus at home and was confident, and the man who lived alone in the deepest part of the village.
He does not farm, but is a hunter. Part of the prey he brings back is handed over to the owner's family, and part of it can be kept by him.
Because there was no one else in the family, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. The prey had not been fattened yet, so he was idle and came over when he heard that Xu Yue was recruiting people.
This man's name is He Zeng. He is tall and strong, with hair as thick as a hedgehog's hair. The rags on his head don't seem to be able to trap the thick, fluffy hair, which looks like it will fall apart at any time.
appearance.
Coupled with his full beard, he looks like a big black bear.
Xu Yue was taking out a plate of tofu from the yard and preparing to put it on the stall for sale. As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she felt a large shadow covering her head. When she looked up, she was shocked when she saw a pair of big copper bell eyes.
!
"Can you give me more salary? I don't want to learn how to make tofu!"
As soon as He Zeng opened his mouth, Xu Yue felt her ears buzzing, like thunder.
She took a step back, but she took a step forward, stretched out her two ape arms, and took away the tofu in her hand.
He had long arms and legs, took a step forward, and placed himself on the stall several meters away from Xu Yue.
After putting the tofu away, he turned around and glanced at her again, with a confused look that seemed to say: You are a very strong little girl.
Xu Yue finally recovered from the shock, nodded and said, "If you don't learn to make tofu, I can give you four times your wages."
"Four times?" The black bear-like man scratched his head in confusion. Xu Yue was really worried that the fragile rags on his head wouldn't be able to withstand the torment and would fall apart.
"I only give Laowu Tou and the others 100 yuan a month's wages. For you, I will give you four times their salary, four 100 yuan, a total of 400 yuan." Xu Yue explained.
He Zeng nodded his head, opened his big eyes that were not pure black, but the color of amber and asked her:
"How many soybeans can you buy with 400 yuan?"
"40 pounds." Xu Yue replied.
At the same time, he secretly looked at the man in front of him, wondering whether his IQ was normal.
Even a sheep boy who can't read can know how many soybeans 400 yuan can buy.
But he saw He Zeng holding a big palm that could hold Xu Yue five times, counting again and again, raising his head and saying to her:
"I have to eat four kilograms of beans a day, and you can only feed me for ten days. It's not enough...it's not enough!"
Xu Yue was stunned. Four kilograms in Daqing is equal to a little more than two kilograms in modern times. Even if you don't eat other side dishes, two kilograms of rice cooked with soybeans can be eaten in two meals a day. You can eat it until you die!
But looking at He Zeng's extraordinarily powerful figure, Xu Yue felt that maybe, maybe, four pounds a day was indeed not enough.
"Then how about you work more and eat at my house. I won't pay you any wages and I'll provide you with two meals?" Xu Yue asked tentatively.
If it were Lao Wutou, he wouldn't agree. After all, cash is hard to come by, and he can't eat much in the included meals, so he's bound to lose money.
However, He Zeng's eyes lit up, like two 500-watt light bulbs, shining directly on Xu Yue, causing her to squint and test again: "Agree?"
Have you ever asked: "Does your family have enough food?"
Xu Yue thought disapprovingly in her heart: No matter how good you are at eating, how could you possibly be able to eat better than my brother?
He nodded generously: "Of course, but if you don't work carefully, I will deduct the corresponding rations."
He Zeng immediately rolled up his tattered linen sleeves and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do!"
He has nothing else but plenty of strength!
At this moment, Xu Yue had the urge to release her brother Xu Dalang and fight with this man to see who was stronger.
But I thought that my brother's actions were never serious, so I suppressed this dangerous thought.
The family was preparing to move the tofu shop outside the courtyard. Xu Da had already asked people to buy the wood, so he sent people to piece it together.
So, Xu Yue pointed to the pile of materials outside the courtyard and asked, "Can you build a house?"
He Zeng smiled, as if you looked down on me too much, and patted his chest and promised to keep it to him.
Before turning to work, Xu Yue reminded Xu Yue: "Is it really full?"
Xu Yue nodded heavily.
How could I immediately go back to work with great satisfaction?
He was really nimble in his work. Xu Yue stared at it for a while and then confidently drew the drawings of the mill to be built on the wooden board and asked him to follow the drawings.
However, when it was time to have breakfast in the middle of the morning, Xu Yue was stunned.
Wang Youliang brought two large earthenware pots of corn rice. The smaller one contained two kilograms of corn, which was semi-dry and very solid. It was specially prepared for Xu Dalang.
This is his daily meal amount. If he doesn't eat that much, he will feel uncomfortable. When he feels uncomfortable, he will feel like running up the mountain to kill prey and drink blood.
If you can't drink blood within a certain period of time to relieve the restlessness in your body, you may be focusing on the fragile neck of human beings.
So I can only suppress this primitive impulse with a huge appetite that is beyond ordinary people.
The other pot was prepared for everyone in the family. Originally, it was only Xu Yue, Xu Erniang, Wang, and Wang Youliang. Two kilograms was enough for the four of them.
But now He Zeng was added, Xu Yue asked Wang Youliang to cook three more catties of corn, for a total of five catties of corn.
A large pot full of half-dried corns looked overstuffed.
But before Xu Yue and others started to serve the rice, there was only a shallow bottom left in the large pot of corn.
Several people looked in shock. Beside the pot, He Zeng was holding a wooden spoon and stuffing rice into his mouth one spoonful at a time. In one mouthful, he scooped out the bottom in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yue suddenly had an ominous premonition that she was going to lose money.
Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, looked at the empty pot and asked He Zeng: "Are you full?"
He Zeng wiped his lips sheepishly and smiled, burped again, nodded and said: "I'm almost full, I'll go to work now!"
After saying that, she got up and walked out of the yard. Before Xu Yue could even say, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, you can just rest for a while and then start working again," he was already carrying the heavy wooden beams and starting to work.
From this point of view, Xu Yue felt that this pot of rice in exchange for such a strong labor force was quite worth it.
It's just that the pot has been eaten up, so there is no choice but to cook another pot.
After dinner, Mrs. Wang mysteriously waved to the three brothers and sisters, and led the three unknown brothers and sisters into the tool room that was not open to anyone else.
After the three brothers and sisters entered the room, Wang closed the door and pulled open the gray cloth covering the rectangular table.
Sunlight streamed in through the window lattice, and among the sparkling golden light, there was a "crash", and a heavy-duty semi-automatic sniper rifle with a black body and a sharp edge was instantly exposed in front of the three brothers and sisters!
Wang showed off a bit and picked up the heavy machine gun, which was 1120 mm in length, weighed about 20 kilograms, and weighed 21.3 kilograms with a bipod.
"This is a heavy-duty semi-automatic sniper rifle that I made using the materials from that beater. Although it has many flaws, it can only go so far. It is two thousand years behind the light energy gun, but in this era, it is enough.
."
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang were shocked!
Even Xu Yue had known for a long time that my mother was very powerful, but seeing the gun that the technology tree refused to exchange for her appear in Wang's hands, Xu Yue still couldn't help but shout:
My mom is awesome!!!
For a moment, in the quiet tool room, there was only the sound of breathing that was extremely rapid due to excitement.
Xu Erniang didn't quite understand what this big guy called a gun could do, but from Xu Yue and Xu Dalang's trembling reactions with excitement, she could guess that this must be an invincible weapon.
