Chapter 968: The Herbal Medicine Workshop Begins Operation

"Eat! Today we have the fried taro and stewed chicken that you want the most. Can't you stop eating it?" Grandma Qin was angry and picked up a piece of fried taro for Qin Xiaomi.

Well, it’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of the flavor of chicken juice. It’s delicious.

After Qin Xiaomi ate a few pieces of fried taro, Grandpa Qin was still standing, not daring to sit down. Grandma Qin rolled her eyes at him: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you sit down and eat quickly? Do you want the whole family to not enjoy the meal?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll eat it right away." Grandpa Qin was humble and submissive, and it was not until the next day that the two elders finally reconciled.

Today is September 13th, the day when the villagers in this town officially come to work.

It was still dark, and the four major village roads leading to the town were already filled with workers and their families. Before noon, the open space outside the gate of the herbal medicine shop was filled with workers.

Xu Zhengmao and his wife, who were guarding the gate, were awakened but did not open the door.

"The boss said he wouldn't open the door until half past noon, so they'll have to wait. Otherwise, they'll come earlier and earlier every day. Then won't the other workers in the village who have chores to do have to get up in the middle of the night to work at the same time as them? That would be harmful."

There are people from every village in Taifeng Town working in the Qin Family Herbal Medicine Shop. The workers are both male and female. To ensure safety, all workers from the same village will set out to the town's herbal medicine shop together after they have gathered.

So, your group of people rushed here before dawn. That is not diligence, but harming other workers who have a normal work schedule.

This weird trend is unacceptable and must be stopped on the first day!

So when a worker who was brave enough to show off came knocking on the door, Xu Zhengmao couldn't bear it and wanted to go out and tell everyone, but he was stopped by Tao.

"The boss said that we have to make them understand that this is not a good thing to do. Only by explaining it clearly will it work. Otherwise, no matter how much you say, they will just listen and not listen."

"Besides, there's a notice board outside the main entrance of the herbal medicine shop. If there's a notice posted, won't they find a literate worker to take a look?"

"Okay." Xu Zhengmao couldn't convince his wife, so he gave up the idea of being a good person.

Bang bang bang!

"Gatekeeper, we are workers from the workshop. We have come to work early. Please open the door for us. This is Miao Baolou, the Miao family's building!"

His cousin, the village chief Miao, had told them to work hard and strive to become a manager!

How can I become a manager?

Of course it’s a positive performance.

Look at him, actively knocking on the door, just to come and work for the Qin family as soon as possible. How hardworking! When choosing a manager, shouldn't he be chosen?!

"I, Ma Fuer from Liuma Village, have also arrived early!"

"I am Gan Baojia from Ganjiaji!"

"I'm from Sanjiagang..."

Many people were inspired by Miao Baolou and shouted anxiously... Some people didn't like to show off, but they were afraid that if they were not more proactive, they would be considered lazy by their boss and would lose their jobs.

Village Chief Cao poked his wife, Cao Fanshi, and asked, "Why don't you shout?"

Isn't this woman the one who loves to show off? Why is she so lazy today?

Cao Fan rolled her eyes at him. "Are you stupid? The gatekeeper is dead, and there are so many people waiting outside. How could the gatekeeper not know? If the gate could be opened, he would have opened it long ago. Why hasn't it been opened for so long? Of course... the boss specifically ordered it not to be opened."

Cao Fan spoke the last crucial words in a very low voice, fearing that other workers would hear them.

Why?

Of course, she was afraid that her coworkers would become too smart, and if she wasn't smart enough, she would lose the opportunity to be a manager.

After hearing this, Village Chief Cao stopped asking questions and watched the show with his wife.

More than a hundred minutes after the middle of the morning, the heavy door of the medicine shop creaked open by Xu Zhengmao and his wife.

Dangdang Dangdang!

When the gong sounded, Miao Man, along with Zhu Xuemo, Yao Dayan, Ye Xifen and other martial arts masters, blocked the way ahead.

Yao Niang, Zhu Xuewei, Shen Lu Niang, Luo Ningfang and other servants surrounded the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families and followed behind.

Shi Qiu and the boy from the Mo family brought a square table to Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin climbed up with a grumble, shouting, "No pushing allowed! Pushing is against the work rules. The minimum penalty is a fine, and the worst is dismissal!"

When the noisy crowd quieted down, Miao Baolou, who was about to compete for first place, quickly retracted his legs. He almost bumped into the person behind him because he retracted his legs too quickly.

After a slight commotion, the gate returned to calm.

Uncle Qin continued to shout, "The workshop's opening time is half past noon. Why did you come an hour early? By doing this, aren't you putting those workers who work at normal times at risk? Aren't you bullying and forcing those who work at normal times in disguise? What do you want to do by arriving half an hour early? There's no way to harm people like this!"

This, this, this?

The workers were anxious and hurried to explain: "No, we didn't harm anyone. We just finally got a job to earn money to support our families. We were afraid of being fired, so we wanted to come to work early."

"If we come earlier, the boss will see us and think we are diligent, so he won't fire us."

Dangdang Dangdang!

Uncle Qin banged the gong and shouted, "As long as you haven't violated the work regulations, the herbal medicine shop can't fire you without reason. If you really are fired, you can ask the head of the neighborhood, village head, and clan leader to make a scene, or go to the government office to report your boss!"

"My fellow villagers, you shouldn't do such evil things as rushing to work in the middle of the night. This is purely harmful to both you and others. All our Qin family workshops will eradicate this kind of evil practice. Anyone who dares to work so diligently will be the first to be fired!"

"You guys are amazing. Wouldn't it be better to sleep in a little longer?"

He couldn't sleep in. After dinner last night, he had to rush to Tang Baihu Camp to lead the students. He came back before noon, had breakfast, and was sent here to continue working.

Uncle Qin, still sleep deprived and resentful, continued to rant, "You rushed to work in the dark, and did my niece give you any money for your hard work? No, why are you so hardworking?"

The workers who were scolded and their families who sent them here were a little confused... The workers were more diligent, but the boss was not happy.

The Qin family is indeed weird.

Village chief Zhou, clan leader Lu, and clerk Guan were very pleased. After so many years and so many bosses, there was finally a boss who treated workers as human beings.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Alright, line up to enter the herbal medicine workshop. Male workers follow the blue flags, and female workers follow the red flags. They go to the men's and women's workshops on the east and west sides respectively!"

"Family members can only visit after the workers are properly settled. This is the only time, please visit in an orderly manner and refrain from causing any disturbances!"

Uncle Qin jumped off the square table after shouting until his voice was hoarse. He asked Shiqiu and others to remove the table and let the workers in.

"Male workers, follow me!" Zhu Xuewei shouted, and under the protection of Miao Man, he led the male workers to the men's workshop.

The female workers followed Madam Yao, and the martial artists they protected were female servants like Ye Xifen who were skilled in martial arts.

There were hundreds of workers and a lot of noise. The old soldier and his family were alarmed and ran out to see what was happening. However, those who knew the rules did not get close and just watched from a distance.

It was very exciting to watch...

"Grandpa, are these the workers at the herbal medicine shop? Can we also work there like them in the future?"

"I heard that you have to be able to identify medicinal herbs to work in the herbal medicine shop... Mom, Aunt, we will learn to identify medicinal herbs well and will definitely pass the exam to get a job as a worker in the herbal medicine shop!"

Little Peng Jianxin was also startled by the commotion and ran out to see what was happening. He was more thoughtful and said, "Why do you only want to be a worker? Wouldn't being a doctor or a female doctor be more useful?"

When he said this, the old soldier was shocked. He turned to look at him and saw that it was a strange child. He asked hurriedly, "Where are you from?"
