Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 847: Selection ———-1

Chapter 847: Selection ———-1

Although the person who was getting schemed against was not him, Lin Chen felt a sort of helplessness wash over him.

" If you have the time to speak nonsense, then you might as well take this letter to the shadow guards tomorrow and have them send it within two days, I don't think that those two families would be able to withstand this torment for more than four days."

The Big Ocean City did not have a courier station as no one wanted to send any sort of letter to this abandoned place. And even if there was an emergency, they could only blame themselves for being unlucky to get the information later on. Su Wan wanted to develop a courier station but she could not rush things up.

Lin Chen took the letter and then put it in his pocket before nodding, " I will hand it to the number one." Even though he did not have enough trust in Lin Ze and his cousin, those two were quick to jump on a s.h.i.+p but in case there was a hole in the s.h.i.+p, they would be the first ones to jump out in case they could no longer get any benefits.

Lin Chen did not want the troublesome son and father pair to return to the Dong Tong Village. Who knows what they might do after returning>

They had to send this letter as quickly as possible to the capital, in case it was delayed and the two families returned to the village then it would not be good for them.

Lin Chen sent the letter to the capital at the fastest speed possible in the morning.

Su Wan headed out of the house first thing in the morning with Lin Yan. After interviewing a bunch of residents of the Big Ocean City, Lin Yan and Shen Junxi finally selected fifty or so chefs and a total of a hundred people to work in the storefronts of Snack Street.

Though Su Wan trusted her uncle and Lin Yan, she still wanted to check up on the people they selected one last time.

Because their house was too small Lin Yan called the people hired by him to the wasteland that was purchased by Su Wan. So, when Su Wan arrived at the wasteland, the people who successfully pa.s.sed the interview were already there, as soon as the people standing in the wasteland saw Su Wan arrive, they all turned silent.

Though once in a while someone would hiss, the buzzing went down in just a while.

" You all are here," Su Wan greeted the crowd of onlookers with a smile on her face.

" Ah…Yes, county magistrate," someone from the crowd answered Su Wan. They looked at one another with a hesitant look on their face as they glanced around the surroundings. This was the first time, they were so close to an official and thus neither of the commoners knew how to act in front of Su Wan.

Some shuffled on their feet, while some twiddled with their thumbs.

Once in a while, someone would glance at Su Wan but then they would lower their head in a hurry.

Su Wan did not say anything, she calmly let the commoners take a look at her. A few months ago she was in the same position as them thus, Su Wan did not have the slightest bit of arrogance. Even if she was now the county magistrate, she did not wish to forget her roots.

" You all can sit down, you know?" She said when she saw that none of the workers hired by Lin Yan was taking a seat on the chairs that they had arranged for them earlier on.

The commoners looked at the chairs that were neatly stacked on the snow-covered ground and then pursed their lips before taking a seat. Though it was cold, Su Wan had arranged a bunch of braziers in the wasteland to keep the chill away which helped the workers a lot.

They sat down on the chairs and then waited for Su Wan to speak. But a few workers could not stop themselves as they looked at Su Wan and asked, " Madam Su, is it true that we would get three taels of silver as salary each month?"

" Thats right," Su Wan sat down on the chair arranged for her with Lin Yan, in front of her was a bunch of doc.u.ments that included information about the workers. " The snack street is the first financial pillar to help the commoners, so of course the salary has to be on par with the work you all have to do."

Once the people in the crowd saw that Su Wan was willing to answer their questions. They no longer had any fear towards her, one of the butchers who was hired to clean the seafood looked at Su Wan and asked, " Is it true that we butchers will be hired as well?"

" We were told that we cannot work independently until a few years, why is that?"

" They asked us to sign a contract."

One by one the butchers who were hired asked their queries while looking at Su Wan.

Su Wan smiled slightly, " I know that this must have confused you all a little."

" The thing is that the recipes of the snacks that I have come up with are not the only things that are highly confidential. But also the skills of cleaning the seafood is confidential for the time being, as seafood is the secret ingredient in the success of Snack Street, I cannot allow the method of cleaning it to become public for the time being."

She raised three fingers in the air and then added, "…. I will teach you all to deal with the tricky sea food but in return, you will have to give the snack street three years. Once those three years are up whether the plan of the snack street succeeds or loses it would have nothing to do with you. If you want to become independent after three years, you are free to do so."
