Farmhouse is so old

"Is it Mr. Tang's family?" The boat was approaching, and the people on the boat vaguely saw a figure on the ship's harbor. To confirm whether it was a person, they called out loudly, hoping that the person on the other side was the person they were looking for.

Hearing the shout, Tang Qing got up from the ground in surprise, patted the dust on his body and raised his hand, shouting loudly: "It's me, I'm here."

The people on the boat were pleasantly surprised when they heard Tang Qing's shout. The land was a bit out of the way, and it took a long time to find it.It quickly accelerated and drove over, and the platoon stopped by the shore.

There are about a dozen strong men on each ship, all of whom are here to help carry the goods. The leader is a middle-aged thin man with dark skin, but he looks very energetic. Come here.

"Tang Dong's family, I was sent by Master Cheng, you can call me Cheng San." Cheng San took out a piece of paper from his arms as he spoke, and the corners of his eyes swept back and forth between Tang Qing's body and the paper, like It's like confirming something.

Tang Qing just quietly waited for him to finish looking at it. He knew that this was a specific rule of the Cheng family. If the person sent out had never met, he would write down the other person's appearance on the paper for comparison. , so as not to hand over the wrong person.

After Cheng San confirmed that it was correct, he apologized, his eyes were sincere, and he clasped his fists and said, "Master Tang, I hope you understand. We are also afraid of admitting mistakes and doing wrong errands."

Tang Qing nodded, expressing his understanding. He had cooperated with Cheng Minghai and his fleet many times before, and now he is very familiar with the process.

"This place is very remote, so it's not easy to find. I don't have anything to entertain you." Tang Qing was thinking of entertaining them, but when he looked around, there was nothing but a pot of cool white tea he brought on the ground, which made him a little embarrassed.

Seeing Tang Qing's embarrassing look, Cheng San thought that as a subordinate, he definitely wanted to solve problems for his boss, so he hurriedly said: "You are welcome, boss, we are here to work, not to enjoy."

Tang Qing raised his head and glanced at Cheng San, and then observed the expressions and movements of the thirty people around him. Seeing that none of them were dissatisfied, he said half-jokingly: "Then I will thank you guys again."

"It's okay, it's okay." The others waved back.

Tang Qing opened two warehouses and asked Cheng San to take everyone to carry them first, while he went to the small town to exchange some broken silver, so that he could reward these guys later.

Although Cheng Minghai's people don't have to pay any more wages, they have braved the wind and rain to come all the way, so they can't be stingy, they all work hard to earn money, and there is a whole family waiting for them to go home .

Tang Qing also moved bricks on the construction site when he was young, and he knew how tiring these physical tasks were, and it was not easy to earn a few dollars in the wind and rain.I don't give much, at least I can buy some sweets for the children at home on the way or when I go home.

The three ships were still relatively small, and the two warehouses were filled before they were moved. It was already midnight, and they all started working again with torches.

It just so happened that it didn't rain today. When Tang Qing exchanged money, the biscuit stall hadn't closed yet. With a wave of his hand, he made five biscuits for each strong man, and the fillings were fully filled. They can be full.

They didn't finish until dark, and Tang Qing paid them twice as much. It was not easy to work so late.

"Boy Qing, you rented that warehouse." Fang Lian couldn't help asking when she heard the movement.

Tang Qing held a basket of biscuits, and Fang Lian nodded and smiled, "Aunt Fang, there is a batch of goods that need to be transferred in the past few days, so I rented this warehouse."

"Oh, then I'll prepare bath water for you. It's hot and muggy today. I thought it would be cooler when it rained, but I didn't expect it to be even hotter if it didn't cool down." Fang Lian didn't become suspicious either. She came to rent this warehouse, and she has entertained a lot over the years. Tang Qing lived with her the longest, knowing that he had to take a shower every night before he would fall asleep, so he said so.

"Then thank you, Aunt Fang." Tang Qing couldn't return the gift with the sesame seed basket in his arms, so he could only laugh at Fang Lian.

When Tang Qing returned to the harbor with the sesame seed cakes, those men were already hungry after moving for a long time. Looking at the sesame seed cake frame Tang Qing was holding in his hand, he swallowed secretly, but Cheng San didn't speak, no one dared move.

"Big guy, take a break, use these pads to pad your belly first." Tang Qing put the basket in his arms on the ground gently, and said loudly.

After Cheng San and Tang Qing looked at each other, seeing that a group of subordinates were waiting for him to give orders, they also nodded in agreement.

The strong men howled and rushed towards the place where Tang Qing was standing. Hard work is the easiest way to get hungry. They thought there was no extra meal tonight, but Tang Qing was quite considerate and prepared for them. biscuits.

Seeing the brawny men eating one bite after another very happily, Tang Qing also walked behind Cheng San, took out a few biscuits from his arms and said, "You can eat some, everyone is here, so it's not easy to open it for you alone." Small stove."

"Tang Dong's family is just joking. They are all subordinates of the young master. There is no distinction between high and low. You can just treat me the same as them." Cheng San took the biscuits from Tang Qing's phone without any comfort, and looked after himself after speaking. He gnawed on it, he was already hungry, and the fillings of the sesame seed cakes were full and tasty.

Seeing Cheng San like this, Tang Qing couldn't help sighing, Cheng Minghai deserves to be in big business, the managers are all so polite, without the slightest airs, and wherever he goes, people will look up to him, without raising his eyebrows His eyes are low and his toes are not arrogant, which can not only make his subordinates obey, but also convince his partners.

Sure enough, those who can sit in the positions of the eight major merchants can't do without two brushes.Tang Qing saw that they were eating happily, so he picked up a few biscuits, squatted under a torch and gnawed them.

"Boss Tang, thank you for your hospitality. The boat is full. I have to take my brothers back." Cheng San wiped the oil on his mouth after eating and drinking, and bowed his hands to Tang Qing before leaving.

Seeing this, Tang Qing took his hand and said in a low voice beside him: "Take a step, I still have some money here, please share it with everyone, Manager Cheng, it's not easy to go back and forth."

Tang Qing handed Cheng San a bag of silver in his arms while speaking.

Cheng San touched his hand, then retracted.According to the Cheng family's rules, he was not allowed to accept the money, but Tang Qing was not bribing him, but rewarding the brothers.

Thinking of the wind and rain on the road these few days, everyone didn't get a good night's sleep, and they only ate a few sesame seed cakes here, so it's time to be considerate of them.

Cheng San wanted to lower his hands to these brothers, so he accepted the bag of silver in Tang Qing's hand, not thinking of himself, but also thinking of his brothers.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Cheng San took two steps back, and gave Tang Qing a big gift respectfully. Under the illumination of the surrounding torches, Tang Qing could clearly see the dynamic expression of Cheng Sanxing's gift, sincerely. full.

Tang Qing stepped forward to help Cheng San's body, smiled dumbly at him and said, "What is Guanshi Cheng doing? I should thank you if I want to thank you. Thank you guys for coming to help me from afar. There is nothing to sell, and I hope everyone will not dislike it for a little money."

"Tang Dong's family is being polite." Cheng San got up, heard Tang Qing's words, and replied.

"Tang Dong's family should hurry back and rest. We are leaving by boat. There are still a few ships coming over tomorrow, and you are still busy." Cheng San patted Tang Qing's back heavily when he left.

Tang Qing originally wanted to send Cheng San to the boat, but was stopped by Cheng San: "Master Tang, don't send me any more. If you send me aboard, I won't be able to send you off again. If this continues, we have to send you off." When will you go?"

After Cheng San finished speaking, Tang Qing and Cheng San both burst out laughing, yes, both of them are too polite, they come and go politely, I don't know how long it will take to be polite, it's better to stop here.

"Start the boat!" A powerful, bell-like voice came from the leading boat, and the two surrounding boats also started to move, slowly sailing out of the small harbor.

After watching Cheng San and the others sail away, Tang Qing stood in the light of the fire and waved his hands, wishing them a smooth journey and a smooth journey home.

After the boat sailed for fifty miles, Cheng San arranged the manpower, and then took out the bag of silver that Tang Qing gave, and distributed it to his subordinates.

The strong men kept vigil for the night, those who sailed the boat sailed, and those who were preparing to rest were preparing to rest. Unexpectedly, Cheng Sanlai distributed Tang Qing's rewards to everyone, but the big guys were delighted from ear to ear.

Holding the broken silver in his hand, he felt no sleepiness at all, and only a smile remained on his face.Some people rubbed the silver with the hem of their clothes, and bit it in their mouths to see if it was fake.

"Look at you so stupid." Seeing this man's appearance, another man next to him couldn't help but pat him, and said with a smile: "This money is fake, so you'd better put it away quickly, don't lose it."

They moved goods at the wharf all the year round, and they took copper coins and strings of money, and they couldn't touch the money all year round. Many people were unwilling to come out this time, fearing that there would be a mistake on the way, and they would never return.

They are all people whose family can't get rid of the pot. They thought that if they died early, they might as well fight for it. To divide the blood, I didn't expect to get the reward before I got the salary.

Going home this time, the family can finally afford two bites, so they don't have to risk their lives to gamble.The brawny men hid the money well and then they should do what they should do, but the excitement in their hearts could not be dissipated for a long time.

After sending Cheng San and the others away, Tang Qing extinguished all the torches around them one by one, leaving only one for later so that he could take it back to avoid unnecessary fires.

After tidying up the surrounding area, Tang Qing picked up the water jug, bamboo basket, etc. one by one, took the last torch left to light up, and went back to the town.

The shopkeeper was still thinking about Tang Qing, and the lights in the inn were still on. Tang Qing felt warm in his heart, it felt so good to be missed.

Pushing open the half-hidden door of the inn, the shopkeeper was sitting on the counter and dozing off. When he heard the door creaking, he was startled awake. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and fixed his eyes to see that Tang Qing had returned.

"The water is heating up in the pot. My wife is not feeling well, so she went to bed first. I can't stand it anymore. You should wash up and go to sleep." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked out of the counter and went to bed with a yawn. out the backyard.

Tang Qing went to the kitchen in the backyard to have a look, and sure enough, the water in the pot was still warming with the stove fire.He fetched water, took a shower happily, closed the shop door, and went back to sleep.
