Celestial grabs dog food

Chapter 5

The carriage traveled for a whole day, and only stopped at noon to feed the horses with some water and fodder. The fire was not lit, and the men took turns eating a few mouthfuls of dry food before going on the road again. It was not until dark that the city gate was closed and moved forward. city.

Liu Datie honestly helped the caravan unload the goods before leaving.

Gou Sheng dragged Liu Datie, who was trembling slightly, through the busy street.Gou Sheng has already inquired clearly with the guys in the caravan, coolies like Liu Datie can only go to the dock to move goods...

Jiaxing City prospered mainly by relying on two piers. The Han River running through the main city was one of the main waterways of the Celestial Dynasty. There were two large piers in Jiaxing City, one in the south and one in the north. That's where the cargo ship docks.

Naturally, there are those shrewd and daring people who venture into the business of nobles, but Liu Datie is definitely not that kind of material.

Gousheng and Liu Datie inquired all the way, and they rolled their eyes several times because of the shabby and dark clothes that hadn't been washed for several days, before they arrived at the North Wharf.

There happened to be a cargo ship docking, and the men waiting for work on the pier swarmed up, and they were very busy soon.

When Liu Datie saw it, he was about to squeeze forward.

Gou Sheng grabbed his father with all his strength, and quickly locked the target in the crowd.

The man commanded several men to stand on the boat, the bridge board and the ground respectively, some were responsible for moving the cargo out of the cabin, those few passed it on, and the next few were responsible for moving it to the carriage, which appeared to be extraordinarily orderly. And it saves a lot of trouble, and the porters can relax and be safer, without having to run up and down one after another...

"Father, go and tell that person, beg him to add you, and give him [-]% of the daily earnings!" Gou Sheng said in a low voice.

"Dog, Gousheng, what is this, what does it mean?" Liu Datie asked blankly.

"Father, go ahead and talk about it. If he is not satisfied with [-]% of the time, then add [-]% more. Be sure to ask that person to agree, and avoid people when you say it!" Gousheng pushed Liu Datie, "Bring that big box to him. Look, go, father!"

Liu Datie walked over hesitantly and timidly, and looked back at Gou Sheng several times on the way.

It can only be said that Liu Datie was lucky to go out this time. The strong man looked at Liu Datie a few times, saw how many times he moved the goods, and quickly agreed.

Liu Datie happily joined the ranks of moving goods on the ground, his steps were fast and steady, and he would not deliberately procrastinate to reduce the number of trips and be lazy.

After this job is done, Gou Sheng will have a chance to talk to Liu Datie again.

"Father, you listen to that person in everything you do here, don't just follow others to grab jobs, I'll come back to you before dark!"

"No, Gousheng, this place is no better than our Liushutun, you wait here obediently, and be careful to ask the kidnapper to catch you and sell it to the meat bun shop!" Liu Datie grabbed Gousheng's slender arm and threatened road.

"Father, go quickly, I'm calling you over there, I don't have a piece of meat on my body, the owner of the meat bun shop won't want me!" Gou Sheng took advantage of Liu Datie's hastily looking back, and broke away from Liu Datie. He ran away with his luggage in his hand, turned his head and made a grimace at Liu Datie, "Father, I'm going to find a place to live, you go to work!"

Liu Datie stomped his feet, and rubbed his palms vigorously, over there, brother Chen screamed again, and his clever son disappeared in a blink of an eye.Liu Datie had no choice but to wipe his forehead, and hurriedly responded, and followed Brother Chen to another big boat...

Gousheng has always had a good eye for seeing people. The coolies at the North Wharf of Jiaxing City have long formed gangs of large and small. It is impossible for a newcomer like Liu Datie to have a job.

Then Brother Chen knows how to do some calculations and has a bit of brains. He knows a few ship stewards who have been cooperating with him for a long time. He leads a dozen or so men under his command. Everyone grabs the work together and takes turns according to the size of the work according to Brother Chen's arrangement. In the end, Brother Chen went to talk to the manager about the salary, and at night they would pay the big guys separately. Each person paid [-]% of his daily income to Brother Chen. As long as he worked hard, he rarely cheated, and he was not like some bosses. The men under him, especially the rookies, bullied them hard...

With the experience in Qingpu Town, Gou Sheng quickly found a place where the common people in the city live together.

The layout of Jiaxing City is quite regular. Rows of houses and shops are neatly arranged, and people live in different directions in the city according to their status. There is a low house with earthen walls and blue tiles near the North Wharf. The so-called "backer" Eat mountains, rely on water to drink water", most of the residents here rely on carrying on the wharf for a living.

Different from Liushutun and Qingpu Town, every household here has their doors and windows tightly closed, and there are few women who gather at the door leisurely, doing needlework and talking to each other.

Gousheng had no choice but to open the gates one by one.

"Kids go to play elsewhere, what's the mess, they're busy!"

"Go, go, where did you come from, little beggar!"

"No, no, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, my little brat, my family will hang it from the eaves with dustpans, go! Go!"

……

Gou Sheng wandered in this low-slung house dejectedly and still unwilling to give up.

"Come here, brat!"

The door of a very dilapidated small courtyard on the westernmost side was opened a small crack, and a disheveled woman was waving inside.

Gou Sheng paused for a moment, then walked over quickly.

"You said you wanted to find a place to live, didn't you? Two coppers a night, I have a utility room here, how about it?"

The woman's cloudy eyes were full of red threads, and she obviously stayed up late often. The hand that was holding on to the wooden door was covered with large and small frostbite scars. , with several puddings on the inconspicuous parts of his clothes.

"Auntie, will uncle have any objections? My father and I are going to stay for a while! It is estimated that it will take more than ten days and half a month!" Gou Sheng asked in a low voice cooperatively.

"Just pay the money on time, once every night!" The woman said quickly.

"Ahem... Shi Niang, is there someone looking outside..."

Suddenly there was a violent coughing sound and intermittent questioning voices in the room.

"It's nothing! Dad, don't get up, if you want to drink water, I'll come!" Shi Niang hurriedly replied, "It's settled like this, I will live in after giving Tongzier at night!"

"Mom, dad asked me to see what's going on?" From the crack of the door, a child with a gloomy face could be seen.

"Okay, let's go in..."

Before Gou Sheng could say anything, Shi Niang quickly closed the door, and there were a few indistinct voices from inside.

"Hey, at least let me put the things away—" Gou Sheng shouted at the door in vain.

Of course, no one cares about it!

For the rest of the day, Gou Sheng had to "investigate" Jiaxing City with a bundle of tattered luggage on his back...
