NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11 The truth about trading
After a month of exercise and the assistance of spiritual spring water, her body has undergone significant changes.
The waistcoat line and the muscle lines of the limbs are beautiful and obvious.
The chickens and ducks in the backyard will now lay 10-15 eggs and duck eggs for her every day.
In addition to eating two eggs a day to supplement basic nutrition, she also learned to make tea eggs, salted duck eggs, braised eggs, etc. to enrich the taste of her diet.
In the front yard, the flowers she cherished so much had sprouted rhizomes as high as her knees, and they were about to sprout buds before her eyes.
After the two major events happened that night, the family of four next door stopped strolling out of the yard.
Even if my little brother walks his dog, it’s only in his own yard.
The little girl never went out again, and she was given soup and other food.
Mu Jiu could often see the little girl watering the flowers and plants in the sunroom opposite when she got up in the morning.
Mu Jiu thought that they probably realized that this natural disaster was more troublesome and difficult to deal with than they thought, so they didn't go out.
After all, the funeral affairs of the eight members of the family who died of carbon monoxide poisoning were handled privately by the Housekeeping Department.
No one else knows exactly how.
But any relics of that family during their lifetime, such as cash, valuable jewelry, various grains and other material resources, should have been in the hands of the housekeepers.
If this natural disaster does not end, it means that they are living in silence.
There will be a second time for such a thing.
But the most worrying point is here, this natural disaster really will not end!
There are a total of 108 people in the housekeeping department, with a male-female ratio of -, with men accounting for the majority. The amount of food consumed every day is also huge.
If they don't have enough supplies and have the idea of eating their entire family, it would be really scary to think about it...
Just as Mu Jiu thought, the housekeeping department's food problem broke out half a month after they took the initiative to deliver firewood to each door.
During this period of time, the housekeeping department usually delivers chopped firewood to each villa early in the morning.
But on the sixteenth day, until the afternoon, when Mu Jiu woke up from his nap, he didn't hear the sound of firewood coming to his door.
Of course Mu Jiu didn't wait for the firewood to be burned, but everyone else in the resort needed it.
Some people couldn't wait any longer and directly asked @generalkeeperchenxiao in the WeChat group to inquire about the situation.
After all, the amount of firewood delivered every day is limited, and some villas have many people sleeping in separate rooms, so firewood is used up faster.
They were like moonlight tribesmen waiting for their wages to be paid, hoping that the housekeeping department would send firewood.
But after the news was sent out, I waited until eight o'clock in the evening to hear the bad news announced by the housekeeping department.
Chief Butler Chen Xiao spoke on behalf of the Butler Department.
The housekeeping department requires residents of all villas in the hot spring resort to hand over food as special management fees according to the number of accommodation residents every day.
From now on, the housekeeping department will distribute firewood according to the quantity of rations handed in. If you pay more, you will get more firewood, and if you pay less, you will get less firewood.
The harvested grain will be used to maintain the daily life of the housekeeping department, ensure everyone's safety and provide services.
If someone fails to pay, the housekeeping department will cancel all their services, including security.
Everyone heard the threat in it. After all, the fire rescue that night was indeed the credit of the housekeeping department.
And the matter of chopping firewood, judging from the current situation, is really not an activity that only requires hands.
After all, it is already minus 60 degrees outside. The frozen tree trunks are harder than usual, but frostbitten hands are more fragile than anything else...
Putting aside everything else, the tools for cutting down trees baffled everyone.
Without a chainsaw, we can’t let them use their kitchen knives to chop down trees!
For the rich who still have some surplus food on hand, they would rather spend some of their food to buy this service!
After all, the amount of food required by the housekeeping department is not too much. Each person pays half a catty of food per day, which can be tolerated in the short term.
There are still people who are willing to believe that this natural disaster will pass sooner or later, as long as they hold on!
Seeing the support from a small number of people, the Housekeeping Department directly announced that starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they would collect grain from house to house and then distribute firewood.
If you don't hand over the grain, you won't be able to deliver firewood. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
Someone immediately stood up and asked, how will they survive without firewood tonight?
Then I didn't get any response from the housekeeping department. In fact, they did it on purpose!
The firewood has been prepared for a long time, but they want everyone to experience in advance how difficult it is to have a night without firewood, so as to ensure the smooth harvest of grain tomorrow!
At this moment, someone in the group remembered that the proprietress of the hot spring resort still lived there.
After all, this is their family's property, shouldn't they be able to control their subordinates?
It's so arrogant! This is simply taking advantage of the situation!
Someone who has a close relationship with the boss lady recently @ her in the group and expressed his demands, hoping that the boss lady would be kind to her.
Then many people followed suit and begged the proprietress for mercy.
Probably for the sake of saving face, he really blew up the landlady.
[Sorry dear guests, this is indeed a special period. The housekeeping department is in short supply of food. Without external supplies, it is difficult to provide services.
However, the resort will definitely give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible, so don’t worry!
We are trying our best to contact outside rescue and supplies to solve the current difficulties.
@ Chief Butler Chen Xiao will distribute firewood from house to house to the guests tonight.
The temperature is so low, how can I stand it without an open flame! Will you take responsibility if something goes wrong? 】
With the pressure from the boss lady, other people on the mobile phone suddenly hardened their backs and followed suit, condemning the housekeeping department.
Only Mu Jiu was lying on her 5-meter-wide bed, watching a movie on her mobile phone.
If the boss lady's words can be effective, then there will be no chaos in the apocalypse, and there will be no need for bases and troops.
Sure enough, this time there was a quick response from the housekeeping department.
[Lady Boss, we have done what we discussed at the beginning, we will go up the mountain to cut firewood for everyone and provide firewood for free.
But the premise is that you can contact the boss and supply supplies to our housekeeping department so that we can survive.
It has been half a month now. We deliver firewood every day, but there has been no movement from the boss.
We no longer have any hope, how should I put it, that we can have enough food and clothing by ourselves.
Our housekeeping department provides services and guarantees to everyone, and charging is a matter of course.
We are also human beings, we did not grow up drinking the northwest wind. We also need to eat, and we cannot swallow the cake you painted.
And the housekeeping department is here to officially inform you that even if you want us to deliver firewood to your villa, the landlady, you have to hand over food according to your mouth, otherwise it will not be delivered. 】
This answer made everyone in the group stunned. The housekeeper actually attacked the landlady like this!
From the perspective of a worker in the workplace, Mu Jiu is still very much on Chen Xiao's side.
After all, it's been so long, and it's really not a wise move to expect supplies from outside.
But then I thought about it...these housekeepers have run out of food, so the 49 households will suffer next...
[Chen Xiao, what do you mean, are you not planning to get a job? If you don't give me face like this, I'll fire you directly! 】
The boss's wife couldn't hold back her face, so she directly said harsh words and threatened Chen Xiao with dismissal from the job.
However, the next message from the housekeeper Chen Xiao was explosive!
