Chapter 49
At this time, the foreman was sitting leisurely under the tree, with his legs raised and his abacus on the table. A worker was carrying a sack by, and the strong man with a big waist next to him was responsible for sending a bamboo stick.
Responsible for delivering bamboo sticks is a idle job, and you can get a white-collar worker for a day without any work.
Of course, this idle job is unenviable. It is the most powerful coolie in the entire wharf that is qualified. In fact, it is also a small way to motivate workers by the wharf.
As long as someone can defeat the person responsible for making bamboo sticks and become the strongest coolie, the challenger can take over his position until the next challenger appears.
The rules are clearly written. Just on a small blackboard in front of the table, those who successfully challenge can get an additional 50 yuan bonus on the spot. You should know that ordinary patrol officers at that time only had a little more than 100 yuan a month, and this bonus was almost equivalent to half a month's salary.
However, no one will challenge him normally. It depends on the big and round figure with a big waist and waist of the bamboo stick. How could ordinary people defeat him? That is the foreman's life signboard and the undefeated God of War.
"What are you looking at? Go and go!" The strong man in charge of delivering bamboo sticks drove Chen Xijiu who was looking at the small blackboard.
Because Chen Xijiu was just liberated from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, his body had been hollowed out, his thin arms and legs were thin, and he was obviously not a material for work. He put a bag of rice and grain on his shoulders and probably wouldn't be able to walk two steps and he would just press down on him.
The pier is not a charity place, and only those who are really capable of working will accept it. The incompetent people will naturally let them go as far as they can.
"I look down on me, okay, I'll take you for the first time after traveling through time." Chen Xijiu decided in his heart, and returned to the tea stall again and sat on the big bench.
The old man who runs a tea stall is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. The people who visit the tea stalls are just coolies, and they only make some money, so there is no need to offend people.
The old man took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Chen Xijiu and asked friendly: "Brother, do you want to come and put some things to your stomach?"
During the time travel, Chen Xijiu was staying up late to study hard, of course, he studied hard online. He had already eaten the bowl of instant noodles in the evening. Now, after the old man reminded him, he really felt a little hungry.
"Okay, then I'll bother you. Just take some food." Chen Xijiu said. Because he knew nothing about this era, he naturally didn't understand what he was eating now.
Soon, a plate was brought over, and the plate was made of flour, which seemed to be called a pot sticker, which was easy to make.
Usually when stewing fish, mix the noodles and stick them around the pot. When the fish is stewed, the pot stickers will be cooked.
Chen Xijiu grabbed the pot stickers and dipped them in the fish soup and took a bite...
Suddenly, my mouth was full of fragrance.
Foods without additives taste different.
"You tasted new food, Creator God's satisfaction 1, 1, 1, 1..."
Chen Xijiu stopped chewing and was attracted by the prompt in his mind.
When I eat, the Creator God also increases satisfaction? It’s really interesting. What’s the use of adding satisfaction?
"You stop eating, so that the Creator God will not go up or down, and the satisfaction is -1,-1,-1..."
Chen Xijiu was shocked and immediately stopped thinking about other things. He focused on dealing with the food on the plate until the fish soup was dipped and the pot stickers were eaten up.
"The satisfaction level of Creation God reaches 10. Generally, you will be rewarded with 10 points. The points can be used to upgrade your skill level."
Can skills be upgraded?
Only then did Chen Xijiu notice that the "weak" skill level is lv1, which means that it can be upgraded higher. The higher the level, the stronger the power is. After reading the online article for so many years, Chen Xijiu has already understood the basic rules and there is no need to ask the Creation God.
"I have been patronized and it costs 150 cents in total." The old man smiled and asked Chen Xijiu for food.
A plate of pot stickers, a bowl of fish soup, and tea may be given for free. You can eat enough for one or five cents, which is really not too much.
However, Chen Xijiu can't even get a penny on him now, and he may be able to borrow some from Huabei. However, he was "confiscated" when he traveled through time. Besides, the old man didn't have a QR code. Besides, he is old, so he really wants to eat a king meal and isn't he sorry for the elderly?
"Old man, can I give you the money for food later? I promise to give it to you." Chen Xijiu swears.
"Okay, okay." The old man nodded and agreed, still smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness under his smile.
Why can't the old man see that Chen Xijiu has no money? It's just that everyone is poor, so there is no need to have unpleasant things happening for a bowl of rice, just earn less money.
Chen Xijiu sat in the tea stall for a while, until the sun gradually set, and the people working on the cargo ship began to go to the foreman to exchange money with bamboo sticks one after another, and then stood up and walked over there.
"Hey, Master Ju, why is the wages so small today?" A coolie complained to the foreman.
Do you really think you can get as much money as you do? That's too naive.
It is true that it is necessary to move a bag of rice and grain to exchange for a bamboo stick, but when it comes to exchange for money, the foreman will deduct it, and in the end, only one-third of the one he gets.
For example, you saved twenty-four bamboo sticks in one afternoon, but when you exchange money, the foreman will only count the money for your eight bamboo sticks.
"Why is it so small?! We don't pay the fee?! The price of the bill is increased, and Mr. Bing and the others also raise the price. We can only get a little more, otherwise how can we work? After taking the money, we will leave quickly. If we don't want to do it, leave the work for the person we want to do, the next one!" The foreman impatiently sent the coolie away.
"It's a damn thing, no matter how much you do, it's useless. I've only given this little one in one afternoon." A young man with a hooked nose beside Wu Shihao said with a gloomy face.
"Aming, stop complaining. This is the case in this society. You have no right and no way to make rules. Then you can only live under other people's rules. Leave, go back and take a shower and go to bed early. Where else do you want to work tomorrow." Wu Shihao patted Wu Ming's shoulder and said.
There is not work to do at the wharf every day. Only when the cargo ship comes can there be work. When the wharf is out of work, you can only go to other places to hang out. You can make money wherever you can make money.
In this era, there is nothing missing in spring port, but the only thing that cannot be lost is money. Without money, it is difficult to move forward and cannot live a day.
"Hey, Brother Hao, do you want to make more money?" Chen Xijiu stopped Wu Shihao and his group and instigated Wu Shihao, who was in charge.
When Wu Ming heard that he had money, he immediately came over with his nose with a hook. The thief smiled and asked Chen Xijiu: "Membersman, where is there a business to make money?"
