330 Five Dollar Meals
When Zhou Fangfang went to work at Gu Qingming’s place, not only was the entire Zhou Family Village a little curious, but even the villagers of Stoneback Village were curious.
The people of Stoneback Village were not like the other villages who were suspicious of Gu Qingming’s recruitment.
After many people found out that Gu Qingming was recruiting, the first thing they thought of was their relatives. If there was someone suitable, they might be able to come to work.
Who would have thought those relatives did not appreciate their good intentions?
They believed that a company built in a small mountain village without an office building or factory building could not be a big company.
Therefore, these children naturally did not want to work and found all kinds of excuses. Some even accused their relatives of not being kind. This caused their relatives at Stoneback Village to turn green with anger.
Forget it. Since they didn’t like it, they would forget it.
Looking at the construction team, the relatives smiled bitterly.
They despised the company for not having an office building. Look, weren’t they in the midst of construction?
These children really had low standards.
…
“Cuihua, why did your Fangfang go to work in Stoneback Village? I heard from the people in Stoneback Village that they need people who know computers to recruit people there. Your Fangfang happened to have learned computers.”
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, “I don’t know what she does either. However, she goes to work at eight o’clock every day and gets off work at five in the afternoon. She also has an hour to eat and rest at noon and works eight hours a day. My Fangfang is very satisfied with this job. She’ll eat lunch there for five dollars every day!”
The villager asked suspiciously, “Isn’t it too expensive to pay five dollars a day for food? I heard from others that working in the factory only costs two dollars per meal!”
Mrs. Zhou immediately said unhappily, “Is there any fish and meat with those meals? Hmph, my Fangfang will eat with the boss directly. For lunch, we can eat any fish and meat. How expensive can that be?”
At this point, she paused for a moment and continued, “It should be alright as long as you eat well. If you make it yourself, five dollars would get you just two vegetable dishes.”
The villager’s expression immediately became embarrassed as she said, “I just think five dollars is a little expensive. After all, I heard from my children that the food in their factory is only one or two dollars per meal. How would I know that your Fangfang’s meal would be so good?”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she almost rolled her eyes. She said, “They donated a few million to repair the road and spent a few million to build a greenhouse. How can such a rich family deduct money from food?
“Moreover, the Shi family of Stoneback Village is not such a family. Don’t say this in the future. If word gets out, others will think that I’m not satisfied with their food. ”
The villager was a little angry and said, “Alright, I didn’t say that your Fangfang’s food is bad. I just said that in other factories, it’s only one or two dollars a meal.”
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said, “Oh, that’s because other people do physical work, but my Fangfang does mental work. Of course, the treatment is different!”
The villager was speechless. When did this person become so eloquent?
“I’m not talking to you anymore. My Fangfang is about to get off work. I have to rush back to cook two dishes for her!” After saying that, Mother Zhou picked up the bucket and left. As she walked, she said, “My Fangfang, although her work is easy now, she has to go to work at eight and get off work at five. However, she has been working hard all day. When she gets home, she still has to rest well.”
The surrounding villagers were speechless. Why did it sound like she was showing off?
Looking at Mother Zhou’s departing figure, someone immediately said disdainfully, “Tsk, what’s there to be proud of? She didn’t give birth to a son. She only has a daughter.”
“Speaking of which, what does Zhou Fangfang do all day long?”
“I heard from the people of Stoneback Village that they followed Shi Lichun’s niece around the village. She even ate at those places. I heard that Shi Lichun established a shopping platform to help the people of Stoneback Village sell things.”
“Selling things? What’s there to sell in this countryside? They’re all cheap goods!”
“That’s hard to say. I heard that people in big cities like country food. They say it’s green food.”
“Many people in Stoneback Village are planning to sell their sweet potatoes, taros, peanuts, and other items online.”
“Can they be sold?”
“I don’t know if they can be sold. To be honest, I still have a lot of ginger at home. I want to sell it online.”
“The people from Stoneback Village said that they have to take a commission for selling things online.”
“Ha, a commission? Then how much?”
“Three percent!”
“That’s not a lot.”
“It’s indeed not much. If I were to sell these things myself and bring them to town to sell, who knows how many days it would take for me to earn enough.”
“Now that you mention it, I want to post my things online to sell. I just don’t know if they’ll agree to it.”
“I think we should look for Fangfang first and let her ask.”
“Yes, we can ask Fangfang.”
…
In the office, Zhou Fangfang looked at Gu Qingming’s expression and stopped.
After being looked at by her countless times, Gu Qingming put down the pen in her hand and asked in amusement, “Fangfang, is there something dirty on my face?”
Zhou Fangfang was stunned and shook her head. “No!”
“No?” Gu Qingming seemed to be a little confused. “If not, why do you keep looking at me? If there’s anything, just say it.”
Zhou Fangfang looked a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, “Miss Gu, it’s like this. I want to ask if our shop can sell things from other villages?”
“Oh, so that’s what you want to ask!” Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Our shop can sell things from other villages, but the things we sell have to meet our quality requirements. Also, no matter who we sell things to, I have to take a commission! Since I opened this online shop, I don’t plan to do charity. I’m doing business!”
Zhou Fangfang nodded and said, “Alright, I understand.”
Gu Qingming gave Zhou Fangfang a set of information and instructed, “This is the price I’ve agreed with my family for the things sold in our village. Tell these villagers. If there’s no objection to the price, we’ll start putting the things up for sale.”
Zhou Fangfang took the information and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go now!”
