Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Recruiting on the Spot (2/2)
When she had first left her hometown, the best seat she had ever bought was a hard seat, and sometimes she could only get standing-room tickets.
Now this way of traveling really made her feel unexpectedly flattered.
“Brother Yu, I will definitely work hard in the future!”
This sudden pledge caught Chen Yu off guard.
“Hey, you’ve got me at a loss here! Go take a nap, we still have eighteen hours before we reach our destination.”
With a somewhat perfunctory response, Chen Yu laid down on the bed and fell asleep.
The journey went smoothly, and at five o’clock the next morning, they arrived at the station, but to reach Chu Hong’s mountain village, it would take at least another two hours.
Chu Hong found a donkey cart near the train station and headed straight for the village with Chen Yu.
The mountain road was indeed rugged, and even Chen Yu couldn’t bear the jolting, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.
When Chen Yu arrived at the village, he found many people gathering at the village entrance, they were gathered in small groups, some playing chess, others gossiping.
As soon as they saw Chen Yu and Chu Hong, they almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing, and several elderly women came over.
“Oh my, Xiaohong, did you make a fortune outside these past few years? How come you brought back such a handsome young man?”
“Our Xiaohong has the highest education in the village, after all, she’s someone who went to high school in the county, she’s very capable.”
“Where is this young man from? He looks quite handsome!”
…
Chu Hong immediately became nervous, “Auntie Liu, you’ve misunderstood, this is my boss, and he’s here to recruit workers for our village.”
Those women didn’t pay any attention to Chu Hong’s explanation and continued their discussion.
Chen Yu frowned, not surprised by the entrenched mindset of people who grew up in such an environment.
He didn’t say much else and simply lifted the millstone at the village entrance, placing it on an open space.
This action startled everyone present.
The millstone weighed several hundred pounds, and with the stone roller underneath, it was nearly a thousand pounds. Chen Yu lifted it with ease.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as Chu Hong has already mentioned, I am here to recruit workers. If your family has young people of the right age who are out of school and at home, please let them come out, I will offer them a decent job.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions varied; some showed faces of disgust, looking at Chen Yu as if he were a villain, while others were overjoyed, running home to call their children out.
Soon, the open space at the village entrance gathered more than a dozen young people.
But among them, the vast majority were girls, with only two boys.
Chen Yu frowned, although his workplace also needed a large number of female attendants, he still wanted to find a few young men to train under Wang Qingshan and his team, possibly even to cultivate a few specialized chefs.
