Closest to Cheng Mengying and Xishan Giant Cow was a group of ragged workers. They looked very old and weak. At this time, they were busy beside a few large pots that were emitting white smoke. From time to time, they used a special spoon to add materials into the pot, and then worked hard to stir the viscous liquid inside.
Beside the large pots, there were piles of various metals. They were very similar to the things that were hung on the wall outside. They should be semi-finished products that had been made.
Not far away, there were a few tools for forging metals. Some young men with strong muscles were waving the hammers in their hands and making "ha ha" sounds. They were forging the metals into various shapes.
After the metals were forged, the young men handed them over to the female workers on the other side for polishing to make the metals look more lustrous and textured. The things that were produced by the hands of the hard-working female workers should be finished products. They looked exactly the same as the ones that Cheng Mengying and the others saw in the shop before.
"Alright, this is where you'll be working!" Before Xishan Giant Cow and Cheng Mengying recovered from the scene in front of them, Butler Gao gave a concise order.
"Ah? This … "Xishan Giant Cow looked at the bad working environment in front of it and once again had the urge to escape from the scene. What kind of broken place is this? Aren't they looking down on us too much?
But just as this thought came to mind, Xishan Giant Bull helplessly suppressed it. He didn't have many Spirit Crystals left. If he really chose to escape and didn't work here, then if Butler Gao reported him to the Da Da Immortal Cultivators' Chamber of Commerce and blacklisted him, it would be even more difficult for him to work in the future!
It couldn't join the horse gang to rob, right? Although it had done a lot of bad things when it was an evil cultivator, it simply burned, killed, and looted. The technical content was too low. Xishan Giant Cow was really not interested!
Cheng Mengying also had a look of disgust on her face. Originally, she thought that she was just a salesperson or something, standing in the store and selling things. Although it was a little tiring, at least she only needed to move her mouth!
She never thought that she, a dignified young lady of a family, would actually be assigned to do hard labor here! Wasn't the difference a little too big? Looking at the female workers with messy hair and shabby clothes, Cheng Mengying could not imagine herself assimilating with them. That would be too horrible to look at!
"What is this? You, go refine the raw materials with those old fellows! " Butler Gao snorted angrily. He pointed at the Xishan giant bull and ordered. Then, he turned to look at Cheng Mengying, "You go and polish the metal with the female worker. Ask the workers here about the specific process. Alright, if there's anything else you don't understand, just ask.
Xishan Giant Bull took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked, "That … Steward Gao, I would like to ask, how do we calculate our wages? Also … do you provide food and accommodation here? "
Steward Gao thought for a while, then pointed at the two of them and said, "Your salary is one crystal a day. Since you are a team of two, you will only get thirty crystals a month! In addition, we will provide two meals a day, and someone will arrange a place for you to stay. "
"It can't be? One crystal a day? "Cheng Mengying's expression was a little dull. Did I hear it wrong?
"Yes." Steward Gao nodded naturally and added, "The first three days of work are considered as a probation period. You can't get any crystals. If there's a problem during work, which causes the raw materials to be destroyed or lost, you will also be punished according to the regulations!"
"But … but it's only thirty crystals a month?" Xishan Giant Bull couldn't help but complain and said with a long face, "Before coming here, the staff of the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce told us that even the lowest-level employee can earn seven or eight crystals a day! The wages you pay here are a little too low. Isn't it inappropriate? "
Xishan Giant Bull felt extremely bitter. After all, he was a master of a sect. He had the task of rebuking the inner martial arts world. Not only did he come here to work for someone, but the wages were so low. He was even worse than a beggar!
"Don't do it if you think it's low! You two are useless. You don't know anything. How dare you bargain with me? " When Steward Gao heard their protest, he laughed disdainfully. His nostrils were almost raised to the sky.
"Then we should also do things according to the regulations, right? The Chamber of Commerce of Immortal Cultivation has a clear regulation … "Xishan Giant Bull tried hard to argue, but he was interrupted by Steward Gao before he could finish speaking.
"Okay! You want to do things according to the rules, right? Let me tell you the rules! " Steward Gao lowered his head and stared at Xishan Giant Bull fiercely. He counted with his fingers and said, "You eat my food and live in my place. Do I have to deduct your food and accommodation fees? Also, the prerequisite for working here is that you have to deduct 500 crystals as a deposit! If you can pay it now, I can pay you five crystals a day. What do you think? "
"You …" Cheng Mengying was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth. She couldn't wait to rush up and slap this damn fatty. However, just when she moved, Xishan Giant Bull immediately stopped in front of her.
"We agree. Let's do as you say! One crystal is one crystal! " Before Cheng Mengying lost her temper, Xishan Giant Bull smiled and said to Steward Gao, "If you have something to do, you can do it yourself. We are both very smart, and this work is not difficult. It won't take long for us to learn it!"
"Humph! Do smart people need to work here? Those who are not capable will be useless for a lifetime. They should accept their fate! " Steward Gao rolled his eyes at Xishan Giant Bull. He turned around and said a few words to the supervisor. Then, he swaggered away.
Cheng Mengying first waved her small fist at Steward Gao's chubby back. Then, she pushed Xishan Giant Bull heavily and scolded, "Are you crazy? Look at what kind of a job you have found? How can you make me do this kind of rough work? It's not even as good as selling breakfast. After working hard for a month, I can only earn 30 crystals. What can we do with that? "
Xishan Giant Bull staggered after being pushed, but it didn't dare to push Steward Gao back. It comforted her helplessly, "Actually, I think this job is quite good. They also provide food and accommodation, right? We don't have anywhere else to go. Let's just take it as finding a place to rest! Besides, with our abilities, where can we find a better job? I guess other places are like this too. Don't complain! "
