Cha Hu came to a sudden realization and understood what he meant.
If the two who were missing an arm or a leg had announced that they were part of the Black Wind Cavalry, they wouldn't have found out until now. Now that they knew, it meant that the two had never mentioned that they were part of the Black Wind Cavalry. There was a deeper meaning to this.
"Indeed, they don't need anyone's sympathy. It's too late to think of taking care of them now. They already have no future. An Taiping recruited them to work and let them earn their own living. That's the best outcome." Cha Hu nodded.
"An Taiping, An Taiping!" Huyan Wuhen sighed. "I thought they were all dead. I didn't expect there to be someone alive. Hu, go and check the records of the Black Wind Cavalry. See if there are any similar survivors. If there are, deal with them in An Taiping's way. Don't let anyone know! "
"Yes!" Cha Hu agreed. He also understood what he meant by 'don't let anyone know'. The general didn't need to use this to boost his reputation …
The next day, in the newly renovated garden, all 302 new employees arrived at the appointed time. No one dared to delay the first day.
On the first day of work, many people were looking forward to it yet nervous. They gathered together and waited.
Yuan Gang wasn't like Huyan Wei. He was definitely a punctual person. He didn't let everyone wait for long and quickly appeared in front of everyone. He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "Now, let's divide the work. Those with families, stand over there." He pointed to an empty space at the side.
There was a burst of movement from the crowd, and about forty men appeared, standing in the open space over there.
"Since they have families, it's unreasonable to force them to stay here. They can go home after work. I'll put these people at the front desk and leave them to you to arrange." Yuan Gang turned around and said.
Manager Gao nodded. "Okay!"
Yuan Gang said, "Is there enough people at the front desk? If not, I'll give you more."
Manager Gao hurriedly said, "It's enough, it's enough."
To be honest, he felt that recruiting 300 people was too much. A hundred was enough. Recruiting so many people was simply ignoring the cost of work. Was there anyone who did business like this?
Yuan Gang walked over to the remaining people and pointed them out one by one. He pointed out all the people he had his eyes on. They seemed to be some young and capable lads, but they were actually all his team members.
"These guys look more capable. I'll arrange them," Yuan Gang said.
Manager Gao nodded slightly and found that it was indeed the case. This group of young men looked comfortable when they stood together. The Third Young Master was not a serious person, but he had a good eye for picking people.
After arranging the people, Manager Gao moved closer to Yuan Gang and said in a low voice, "Boss, what should we do with the two who are missing arms and legs? You promised not to work in the shop. "
Yuan Gang looked at the two of them and beckoned them over. The two of them were obviously a little nervous. Their inner selves would always exist, but their external lives had always been that of two lowly nobodies.
"The work I'm asking you to do might not be very honorable. Can you do it?" Yuan Gang asked.
The two looked at each other. Yuan Dahu smiled. "As long as it's not something shameful, I'll do it."
Gu Younian nodded in agreement. He was a man of few words.
"Alright!" Yuan Gang immediately turned around and said to Manager Gao, "Didn't you say that the two stalls at the entrance are not enough and you want to expand the stalls?"
Manager Gao nodded and waited, not knowing what he was going to say.
Yuan Gang said, "If there are too many queues, it's easy to cause trouble. I won't let them work in the shop. I'll let them maintain order in the queue outside the shop. "
"…" Manager Gao was speechless. It turned out that you didn't want to let them work in the shop. Third Young Master was a person who cared about his reputation. You, on the other hand, directly put them outside the shop to attract more attention. "Boss, Third Young Master …"
"If Third Young Master has any objections, ask him to come to me." Yuan Gang shut him up with a single sentence. He turned back to the two elders and said, "Other than that, you guys should also take care of the cleanliness of the road in front of the shop. If you see any rubbish that people throw away, pick it up and clean it up. Let's keep the road outside clean and tidy. A place that sells food, it's always good to look clean and tidy. I just don't know if it's troublesome for you to do this work with your legs. "
Yuan Dahu hurriedly said, "It's not troublesome, not troublesome at all. We can do it, we can do it. We'll definitely make the road outside the shop clean."
Gu Younian also nodded.
Yuan Gang looked at them and said, "It doesn't matter if you're missing an arm or a leg, but if you can make a change, you still have to make a change. If your clothes are too shabby, people will think that you're two beggars outside the tofu shop. Manager Gao, the tofu shop has custom-made clothes. Buy them two sets of clothes to change into. They'll be our shop's front when they stand outside. "
The two old men were a little embarrassed. He was straightforward, but he was also right.
He didn't beat around the bush. Some things were directly said, which made the two feel at ease.
"Yes!" Manager Gao agreed and sighed in his heart. He couldn't do anything to Yuan Gang. It was useless even if he had Third Young Master's support. This person didn't fall for it and still dared to fire him.
Yuan Gang said to the two elders, "Maintaining order outside is inevitable. We'll inevitably encounter people who don't follow the rules. We also have hundreds of people here. If you encounter unreasonable people, you don't need to swallow your anger. Just come back and call for help. We'll play with them at any time! Remember, don't compromise just because you're missing an arm or a leg and it's not easy to make a living. If that's the case, you should leave as soon as possible. I don't want this kind of person, because I'm not that kind of person. "
With the team members in place, Niu Lin, Yuan Huo, and Niu Shan, the three tofu makers, were free.
After a day of preparation, Yuan Dahu and Gu Younian woke up early the next morning when the sky was just beginning to brighten. They carried buckets and took the initiative to fetch water from the lake to wash the road outside the shop.
Yesterday, they had been given a full meal and a clean place to live. The two of them obviously cherished this job and did more than what Yuan Gang requested. They didn't just do simple cleaning. They also woke up early in the morning to wash the street. This way, they wouldn't affect the customers.
A series of footsteps ran out from the alley. The two people who were cleaning the street were stunned. They saw more than two hundred youths run out under the lead of Niu Lin and the others.
The two of them didn't know where they were going or what they were doing.
Yuan Gang was the last to walk out of the alley. He watched the team leave and only glanced at the two people who were working before he turned around and went back.
After that, the two old men realized that the more than two hundred youths were running around Lake Ming. They came out to run before the sky was even bright.
After the group of youths finished running, they came back to eat. They pushed small carts and took the opportunity to send buckets of tofu to various places in the capital to be sold.
It was also from this day onwards that tofu was suddenly available everywhere in the capital of the Qi Kingdom. It looked fresh. The sales on the first day were abnormally hot. Some people who had heard of it but hadn't tried it couldn't help but try it.
The two old men who were missing arms and legs outside the tofu shop were also fresh to the eyes. The customers were also surprised to find that the stone floor outside the tofu shop was really clean. The other shops' streets were covered in dust. Only the street outside the tofu shop was clean and eye-catching.
After nightfall, the tofu shop's business gradually died down. The group of youths took off their clothes by the lake and jumped into the water, chasing each other for a night swim.
The two old men looked at each other. Was it really like what the boss said? Was he really going to train these people?
That's right. Even though they were in the capital of the Qi Kingdom, Yuan Gang didn't let these people slack off. He was still training them.
Just like that, he openly dragged them to the capital of the Qi Kingdom for training.
For Yuan Gang, what should be done had already been done. If anyone felt that there was a problem, they could only directly point it out to him. If no one felt that there was a problem, he would continue. There was nothing to hide. This was his style.
This made the group of team members feel that there wasn't much difference from Green Mountain County. It wasn't as dangerous as they had imagined. It was just that they had changed their training location.
Little did they know that Yuan Gang and the others had come in advance to lay the foundation for them.
Shopkeeper Gao, who was sitting in the shop and looking at the situation outside, was also somewhat dumbfounded …
In the study of the Huyan Mansion, Huyan Wuhen and Cha Hu, who were sitting and standing, were also staring at each other.
"What is he trying to do?" Huyan Wuhen asked.
Cha Hu smiled bitterly, "I don't understand. I personally feel that he's dissatisfied with the imperial court. So, he's training his own men. It's entirely possible that this person would do such a thing."
Huyan Wuhen was speechless. Slowly, she said, "It's best not to use weapons! Warn him that he can have some fun if he's unhappy, but don't cross the line. Otherwise, if he bears the crime of training his own private army in the capital, no one will be able to protect him! "
Cha Hu nodded, then shook his head, "He's doing something new. I reckon that everyone will just take it as a show. Such a small number of people won't be able to do much in the capital. It's all out in the open, so no one will take it seriously."
The golden rays of the rising sun shone, and the city gates opened wide. In the middle of the morning, Niu Youdao entered the city.
It wasn't suitable for galloping in the city, so the group of people on horseback looked around.
A familiar fragrance assailed their nostrils. Niu Youdao looked left and right with a puzzled expression. He noticed that a group of people had gathered around the corner of the street, buying something.
Because the fragrance was too familiar, Niu Youdao tried hard to take a closer look. However, when he saw the faces of the people selling the things, he was stunned. Monkey's men?
When someone passed by with something in his hands, he took a look at the things in the person's bowl. He was immediately dumbfounded. Tofu pudding?
Monkey brought people here to sell tofu pudding? Niu Youdao's heart sank. Was he afraid that he wouldn't be exposed if he came here to sell something so ostentatious?
However, he knew that Yuan Gang wasn't a reckless person, so he was able to keep his composure and wasn't in a hurry to do anything.
The people selling the things were looking around from time to time. When they saw Niu Youdao, their eyes lit up, but they quickly hid it.
Black Peony also recognized the people selling the things. She tilted her head to look at Niu Youdao's reaction.
"What are they selling? Why haven't I seen them before? "Linghu Qiu noticed and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Amidst the clouds, Qin Mian hurriedly knocked on Su Zhao's door and reported, "Boss, Niu Youdao is here. He's already entered the city!"
