I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 335: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Aunt Pan's eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she obviously felt that this was an extremely good deal.
"Ah Sheng, tell me honestly, what's the situation with that noble man? Why does he have such a hobby?"
Ah Sheng saw that everyone in the kitchen was looking at him, and he was so vain that he cleared his throat and said:
"Do you know why our ship changed its route this time? Instead of going directly to Hong Kong Island, we have to go around to Frog Island first?"
Aunt Pan and the others didn’t know this. They only knew that they were supposed to stay in Hong Kong Island for three days, but were informed that the stay would be changed to ten days.
"Could it be related to the noble on the ship?"
Ah Sheng leaned against the door and said nonchalantly, "The nobleman Ah Liu is serving is a senior official of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we are going to Frog Island to transport a batch of urgent arms..."
Wei Miao, who was standing outside the door, had an idea. Frog Island became a colony of Japanese pirates in the late Qing Dynasty.
However, the people on the island have been resisting, and the Japanese are brutal and not as gentle as the British and French. Therefore, it is very difficult to colonize both Frog Island and Goryeo, and pressure needs to be increased from time to time.
The fact that cruise ships are now used to transport weapons and munitions shows that the conflict on the island is very serious.
"With A-Liu gone, you will have no one to help you. Let her help you."
After Ah Sheng finished speaking, he pulled Wei Miao who was behind him in front of Aunt Pan.
Wei Miao was not paying attention for a moment and was pushed and staggered, and an ugly face appeared in front of everyone.
"Hey, where did you find this Yaksha?"
Aunt Fat screamed and took two steps back. Everyone around her stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"How can there be such an unlucky sister?"
Some people only glanced at Wei Miao and couldn't bear to look at him a second time.
"It should be about the same size as Ah Liu. In comparison, Ah Liu is indeed good-looking and worth the price."
"It's obvious that they are Yankees from the mainland, coming to steal our jobs again."
Wei Miao was wearing a flowery jacket, standing in the middle, letting people comment on him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Humans, if there are no classes, have to create their own classes.
They are all struggling in hardship, but they have to appear superior to others.
"What's your name?" Aunt Pan looked at A Sheng and then at Wei Miao.
"Duck eggs!" Wei Miao answered loudly.
After saying this, she saw Ah Sheng was about to leave, so she quickly chased after him, shouting:
"Brother Asheng, wait for me."
Ah Sheng stopped and turned around, wanting to scold her, but the impatience on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a grin.
Wei Miaoxiao ran over and quickly stuffed a silver dollar in his hand into his hand.
"Brother Asheng, thank you so much. I thought you just wanted me to come out for some fresh air, but I didn't expect you to find such a good place for me."
After Wei Miao finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva and looked greedy.
Ah Sheng smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen and immediately understood what the little girl was talking about.
In his heart, he secretly sneered at the naivety of the silly girl, but on the surface he said righteously:
"I, Ah Sheng, am the most loyal person. I will help you with your business if I receive your money."
Wei Miao smiled with eyes curved, tugged at his clothes, "Yes, thank you, Brother Sheng. I will definitely reward you handsomely when I become rich in the future."
Ah Sheng was in a good mood today. Three oceans might not mean much in Hong Kong Island, but in Shanghai, it was enough to live a good life for a few days.
So he condescended to pat Wei Miao on the shoulder and reminded her:
"Do more work and talk less in the kitchen. Now that Liu is gone, there are fewer people doing the work. You should behave well. If you want to stay, come find me."
Ah Sheng rubbed her skin with his hands and looked at the fair skin of her neck. He once again felt sorry for the big mole on the cheek of this silly girl, which was an eyesore.
After hearing this, Wei Miao's originally curved eyes suddenly widened, and he looked very innocent and cute.
Ah Sheng felt that he had missed out on several hundred dollars, so he simply turned a blind eye and left.
Wei Miao watched his back disappear before turning and walking towards the kitchen.
This time when she came in, the way people looked at her was somewhat scrutinizing.
"Sister, what is your relationship with Ah Sheng?"
Although Ah Sheng is a lower-ranking crew member, he is very smooth and sophisticated, and can talk to the captain, and his status is much higher than those of the odd jobs.
Wei Miao bit her lip and said shyly, "Brother Asheng, I'm not allowed to say it."
Those with quick minds thought about what had just happened and suddenly understood.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Miao was quite strange.
Aunt Pan seemed to think of her granddaughter, and a trace of conscience emerged, and she scolded the group of people:
"Hurry up, the dinner will be here soon. Although we don't make first-class food, we can't mess around."
Aunt Pan is the head chef and is considered a kitchen manager. After she gave orders, the women got busy and had no time to ask about other things.
Aunt Pan glanced at Wei Miao and asked, "What are you wearing under your coat?"
"A coat."
Aunt Pan suppressed her disdain and said, "Go to the inner room, take off your coat, wash your hands and feet with A-Liu's bath water, and then come back to help."
The kitchen was steaming hot, and I really couldn't work in my sour-smelling coat.
If she didn't need a favor from Ah Sheng, and this girl seemed to have some relationship with Ah San, she wouldn't bother to get involved.
"Okay, Aunt Pan."
Wei Miao agreed without hesitation and walked in the direction Aunt Pan pointed.
In the dim room, there were three rows of bunk beds. In the only narrow space, a dark-skinned little girl was drying her hair.
"Your name is Duck Egg?"
The girl's eyes were clearly black and white, with a slight mist in them, and she was not frightened by Wei Miao's ugly face.
"Did you hear the conversation outside?"
Wei Miao could smell the fragrance on the little girl, which was a mixture of chemical detergent and alcohol.
It is also what Durand and others call an expensive shampoo.
Ah Liu's pretty oval face showed no other expression, and she smiled and said:
"That's good. I never knew I was so valuable."
Wei Miao did not respond to her, but took off his smelly coat and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This narrow room should be where the cooks rest, and it smells bad.
In other words, there is nothing good to smell on the entire lower three floors.
It either smells sour or like salted fish.
So Wei Miao felt that the shampoo on the little girl smelled nice.
"How old are you?" A Liu continued to wipe his hair.
"twelve."
Wei Miao bent down and squatted, washing his hands and feet with the water in the basin.
A Liu was quite surprised to see her calm appearance.
"There's a little clean water in the jug next to it."
"Thank you." Wei Miao said.
Fresh water is rare on the boat, so A Liu must be a pretty girl who loves cleanliness.
The bath water wasn't too dirty.
On the contrary, she had been struggling for several days and was already smelly, so how could she be disgusted?
"Here you go!" A Liu handed the towel for wiping hair in his hand to Wei Miao.
Wei Miao looked at the half-wet white towel and sighed in his heart, what a girl who is very good at dealing with people.
"Thank you!" Wei Miao didn't hesitate. He took the towel and wiped his hands clean.
"My grandma said that this towel is given to me as a dowry."
Wei Miao thought about Aunt Pan who had been crying outside before.
"Don't you resent her for being so hypocritical?"
A Liu shook his head and looked at Wei Miao with sparkling eyes, as if he had finally found someone to talk to.
"My mother died when I was born, and my father is useless. It was my grandmother who raised me. She is old now, and her waist and legs are not in good condition. She should not be running around on the boat anymore."
Wei Miao suddenly felt the towel in his hand was a little heavy.
"When I was delivering food, I heard the captain say that the nobleman was looking for a girl, so I went to find Brother Sheng..."
Wei Miao tilted his head and looked carefully at the girl in front of him.
Slightly dark skin, bright eyes, and slightly upturned mouth corners with a hint of satisfaction.
It was as if I was about to do something extraordinary.
Does she really know what she is going to do?
