Chapter 87

The school in the village is in Li Qin's Calligrapher's house. There is a big room with more than ten tables and stools. There are more than twenty children sitting in it. The two children share the same table. Most of them are about six or seven to twelve years old.

Li Tinghui remembers his mother's words. After going in, he takes out a large bag of snacks from his book bag and gives each child a small cake in order.

Xiaomeizi said, "this is a small cake made by Huier's mother. Please eat it!"

A group of children were very happy. Some ate the small cakes in their hands in three or two bites. Some bit them carefully and left half of them hidden in their pockets.

"It's delicious. Anything else?" A child was staring at Li Tinghui.

After Li Tinghui sent out the last piece of pastry, he gave the remaining five pieces of pastry to Li Qinshu.

In response to everyone's yearning eyes, Li Qin wrote: "today, the master will reward the one who is the most obedient and hardworking."

The 23 children at the bottom immediately sat upright and put their hands on the table.

After the teacher went out, a group of children rushed to Li Tinghui's desk to greet him.

"Your mother's cookies are delicious!"

"Your father is a hunter. Can you eat meat every day?"

"My mother said that your family is rich. Is that true?"

"Do you have any cookies?"

Li Tinghui's face was expressionless. No one would talk to him. The little plum next to him was a little unhappy and said, "Oh, don't crowd here! There is no pastry. Don't you see that the last few pieces have been given to the master? "

Everyone saw that Li Tinghui did not pay any attention at all and left bitterly.

Li Tinghui took out the bamboo tube and took a drink.

"Brother, I want water, too." Xiaomeizi felt thirsty after reading for an hour.

Li Tinghui looked at her: "the cup."

Xiaomeizi ran to borrow a teacup from her master. Li Tinghui took the bamboo tube to her and let her drink it by herself.

Xiaomeizi drank two mouthfuls of water and said in surprise, "it's so sweet. Is this sugar water?"

As soon as I heard the sugar water, three little girls next to me came together.

"I want to drink, too. Can you give me a drink?"

"No Li Tinghui simply refused.

That girl was not happy immediately: "you how so stingy, stingy, do not play with you!"

Little plum rolled a white eye: "younger brother, next time we have delicious food will not give her, who told her to call you a cheapskate."

The girl's eyes were red with anger, staring at xiaomeizi, with a face of grievance.

On the other side.

After Xu Qing sent hui'er to school, when he got home, he saw many people gathered at her door. When he saw her, he warmly welcomed her.

Xu Qing nodded in response and said, "the interview will take some time. If you have something at home or are busy in the field, you can go back. I won't recruit you if you don't have free time."

"We all have time. We are all idle." These people are busy.

"Well, just a moment." Xu Qing nodded and went into the yard.

Later, Li Jinmei hung up a piece of wood, on which the recruitment matters, number of people and salary were written in charcoal pen, so that everyone had a bottom in mind.

"I'm still recruiting men. I have to call my husband in a hurry!"

"How can the delivery cost more than firewood? It's a good job!"

Li Jinmei said: "don't rush to call. These two items are in the afternoon. In the morning, we only ask for peeling beans, preparing food materials and cleaning."

Cao Laoliu brought out a table with bowls of peelable mung beans and red beans and pots of clean water.

In fact, there is a simpler and faster way to peel the beans. You can directly crush the beans, wash them with water, and then sift them. What you sift out is the skin of the beans. However, the bean paste made in this way needs to be precipitated, which will take more time, and the taste of the bean paste made with water will become worse.

There are a lot of women coming. They can only come in order. Everyone peels a small bowl. Although Xu Qing didn't say that, everyone knows that it depends on who can peel it fast and well.

Although they think this kind of thing is meaningless, how can not eat bean skin, but can make money, no matter what it does.

Xu Qing stood on the chair with the book and pen, reading and recording.

After everyone was stripped, she quickly announced the candidate.

Some people were immediately unconvinced.

"I peel the fastest, why don't you want me?"

"Xu Qing, look how well I peel them. They are so complete one by one!"

"According to what requirements do you choose people?"

To everyone's puzzled eyes, Xu Qing said: "why do you think I put a basin of water beside me? Who washed their hands before stripping? "

Those people's faces changed slightly and said, "this Don't you forget that? If you say that, we are sure I can wash it... "Xu Qing said: "my decision will not change, the rest of the people do not pass this, later try other, pass the people do not happy, I only need three people, you have to peel again, I see if you peel well."

After the seven or eight women who had passed through had been stripped for a round, Xu Qing neatly crossed out several names on the chair.

The onlookers can see whether these people are peeling well or not, so they also have a bottom in their hearts who may pass.

Sure enough, after Xu Qing announced his name, it was almost as they guessed.

I don't know whether Xu Qing intended it or not. The three elected women are all younger women, about 20 years old.

The three little women were very happy on one side. Not far away, their men also laughed happily.

Xu Qing said to them, "don't hurry to go back, you three. Wait for a while. I have something to explain later."

Three people nodded, repeatedly should be a few good.

The second is to prepare the ingredients.

Extract pigment from food, grind flour, horseshoe powder and so on, and make all kinds of starch.

The flour and rice noodles bought outside are not delicate enough, which is also a headache for Xu Qing.

We all remember to wash our hands this time.

These things test everyone's craftsmanship, strength and endurance. Everyone is working hard for fear that they will fall behind.

"Xu Qing, do you know me?" An old lady, leaning on a crutch, sat down on the chair next to Xu Qing and grinned with sparse teeth.

Xu Qing nodded: "you are Uncle Li's grandmother. What's the matter?"

Granny Li put her hands on her crutches and praised Xu Qing lovingly. She almost praised Xu Qing as a fairy in the sky.

Xu Qing listened and did not speak.

After boasting, the old lady began to say that the parents' family was short. Anyway, in a word, except for Xu Qing's family, no family had a good life.

In some fields, there is no food to grow for the winter. Some children have to go to dig grass roots when they have no food to eat. In some families, people die, and life is getting harder and harde
