Chapter 2098: Chapter 2098: Wages Doubled

With the first voice speaking out, a second excitement followed, and then a third echoed.

Soon everyone began to express their determination, and the banquet had just begun, but the atmosphere was already pushed to a climax.

After Shu Yu heard everyone talk enough, she finally smiled and said, “I know everyone is great and wholeheartedly thinks about Lu’s. Since you are so, Lu’s certainly won’t let you down. Therefore, starting from January, everyone’s wages will increase by a hundred coins.”

“Whoa…” Everyone’s wages increased by a hundred coins?

The crowd was pleasantly surprised, and enthusiastic shouts resounded across the roof.

Soon after, a wave of vigorous applause surged up.

“The boss is generous.”

“May the boss live a long life.”

“I will devote myself to Lu’s to the point of turning my guts into ink.”

“I, I could even give up my life for Lu’s.”

The crowd, “…”

Below the stage, Third Lu, while cracking melon seeds, whispered to Madam Liang, “Yu is impressive. Look at everyone, swayed by a few words from her, completely lost in admiration for Lu’s. Compared to Yu, the boss of our Peach Blossom Forest just doesn’t cut it. Too laid-back, never knows how to inspire people.”

Madam Liang gave him a side glance, “You can learn from Yu, you are the Chief Steward now, managing the whole Peach Blossom Forest. Learn this set from Yu, and those staff will all listen to you in the future.”

Third Lu shook his head and smacked his thumb and index finger, “No way, I don’t have any money. Do you think just verbal motivation works? There has to be some real benefits.”

Madam Liang thought it over and agreed, everyone isn’t stupid, who would dedicate themselves without money?

The commotion below the stage gradually settled down, Shu Yu smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t say much more, I know everyone is looking forward to the meal and lottery, so let’s start now.”

With a wave of her hand, people quickly began to serve the dishes.

The staff at the workshop were fairly good, as meals and accommodations were provided here, and at least most of them resolved their lunch at the workshop.

The workshop canteen might not have a large variety, but to ensure the staff have enough energy and physical strength to work, the meals are usually balanced with meat and vegetables.

However, the families brought by the staff were excited, looking at plates of chicken, duck, and fish being served, many started to crane their necks. If not for the staff pulling them back, they would almost rush up to grab them.

Halfway through the meal, Daniu got on the stage, “It seems everyone has eaten well, all about five-tenths full, right? Next, it’s time for our lottery stage.”

At the mention of the lottery, even those eager to stuff themselves turned their heads quickly to look at the stage.

“Our prizes are divided into three tiers this time, third prize has thirty winners, and the prize is double next year’s wages.”

“Whoa…” Double wages, knowing that among all of them, even the lowest wages for newcomers was six hundred coins a month.

Wait, the boss just said, next year wages increase by a hundred coins, making it seven hundred coins.

If doubled, that’s more than eight taels of silver over a year.

That’s eight taels, eight taels could get you a wife.

The boss is too generous.

The crowd began to rub their hands eagerly, they didn’t expect the first prize, having a third prize was already very satisfying.

Daniu continued, “Next is the second prize, ten winners, and the prize is a mule carriage.”

Mule carriage? Everyone’s eyes brightened.

Their place is quite far from the county town, not to mention various villages, going back was not easy at all.
