Chapter 645: Couple in the city(1/3)

Shoe factories, garment factories, pharmaceutical factories...the factories are one after another, and there are many people crowded in front of each factory.

Many of them were holding signs with the number "one" or "two" written on them, which was how much they were worth for a trip.

Tan Jinxiao attaches great importance to this: "In the future, we will also have to get a brand and put the price on it. This will make it easier to find work, and when it comes time to calculate the money later, there will be less misunderstandings between the two parties."

Juanzi looked at Tan Jinxiao and said, "We are not here to work with you. Can you understand me?"

Xiao Yeci looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the evening: "It's already this time, and there are still so many people waiting for work!"

Tan Jinxiao said: "There is no distinction between black and white in the dungeon. As long as you have the strength, keep doing it from morning to night, and no one will care about you for days and nights."

A shoe factory placed new shoes on the street, waiting for people to receive the goods.

Li Banfeng picked up the shoe box, opened it and looked at it.

No matter the workmanship or material, whether in Prozhou or out of state, these shoes are definitely top-notch.

Moreover, Li Banfeng had seen this brand before, and it was sold in Puzhou and other states.

As for the price, if you go by the price in the store and with Chen Changrui's salary, you would have to worry about buying such a pair of shoes for more than half a year.

There was no price tag on the shoes here, so Li Banfeng asked: "How much does a pair of these shoes cost?"

The worker at the door saw that Li Banfeng was well-dressed and politely replied: "Sir, our shoes are not retail."

Li Banfeng smiled and said: "I just asked the price, but I didn't really buy it."

The worker looked troubled: "If you want to buy shoes, go to the nearby shoe store. We really don't sell shoes here."

Tan Jinxiao spoke next to him: "I worked in a shoe factory. I don't know what the market is now. Back then, this pair of shoes sold for sixty."

Li Banfeng didn't hear clearly: "Sixty what? Ocean?"

"What Dayang? How many people here have seen Dayang?" Tan Jinxiao snorted, "Sixty Huan national banknotes, that's not a small amount."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Isn't that right? Is this enough to cover the cost?"

Tan Jinxiao said: "If it's enough, you can still make money! It depends on how you do the work. Don't make trouble here. Someone will come to collect the goods soon and see you buying shoes here. This factory can't do it."

Once we get down there, the boss will have to go out with a shovel to find work. If the machine doesn't work well, he may even lose his life."

"The machine is dead. What do you mean?"

"If the machine is smashed, won't you die?" Tan Jinxiao advised everyone, "If you come here to work, I will help you negotiate the price. If you don't want to work, don't delay other people's business."

While he was talking, a whistle sounded in the distance and a small train came slowly.

This small train is similar to the small trains in Heishipo City. When it arrives at the door of the shoe factory, the train stops. The workers of the shoe factory transport goods to the train. The conductor receives the goods, counts them, and writes down the order. The worker takes the order and returns it.

factory.

Li Banfeng said: "Aren't you going to give me cash for this?"

Tan Jinxiao said: "After collecting enough bills, go to the boss's counter to collect the money. People usually don't default on it. If you encounter the second-rate situation, just wait...

I said, young lady, write down the things that are useful, forget the things that are useless, how do other factories sell things, what do you do with these things, aren't you tired from writing so many words?"

He was talking about Xiao Yeci.

Xiao Yeci remembered being very serious: "Don't be tired, these things are very useful."

Tan Jinxiao shook his head and said: "What's the use of memorizing this thing? Even if you don't feel tired, at least you can save some ink and some paper!"

Li Banfeng walked all the way and saw clothes, shoes, socks, pots and pans, and he wanted to buy them all. These things were made really well, but every factory had a rule that things were not sold at retail.

Tan Jinxiao pointed to the grocery store in front: "If you want to buy something, go there. That's a serious retail place."

Li Banfeng entered the shop and looked at the clothes, shoes, pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches. The things here were really incomparable with those coming out of the factory.

The shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic and brought a suit for Li Banfeng to try on.

Li Banfeng bought his first suit at Fengji Grocery Store. He has a special affinity for the things in the grocery store.

He bought this suit, but he didn't try it on because the smell of the fabric was too pungent.

Juanzi also likes the clothes in the grocery store. The shopkeeper also often does three-headed business. He knows what size is suitable and specially selected two shirts for Juanzi.

A shirt is seventy-nine yuan, and a suit is twenty-eight three yuan.

After leaving the grocery store, Juanzi was very happy holding the shirt, but Mengzi was unhappy: "Why did you buy this junk? You smell this, how do you wear these clothes?"

Juanzi snorted and said, "Look how crazy you are. When you were poor, it took several years to buy a piece of clothing. Have you forgotten?"

Mengzi really forgot how many years it would take to buy a piece of clothing, but Li Banfeng could figure it out.

According to the market price in the underground city, a worker can barely earn two yuan a day. After excluding food and drink expenses, how many cents are left? If there are children and elderly people at home, these few cents will not be left. Let’s ask them

How long does it take to save up a new set of clothes?

But there is really no shortage of clothes in the underground city. There is a garment factory in front, and boxes of clothes are being loaded onto the train.

There is no shortage of clothes, but there is no money to wear them. What is the meaning of this?

There was no distinction between day and night in the underground city. Li Banfeng looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already twelve o'clock and it was time to find a place to stay.

"Is there a hotel here?"

Tan Jinxiao shook his head and said: "There is no hotel, but there is a restaurant. Give me an extra fifty cents to take care of it."

Liang Wudao: "Then let's go and have a look."

Tan Jinxiao looked sarcastic: "What are you looking at? You are making money, so you dare to go to a restaurant?"

Xiao Yeci looked at Tan Jinxiao carefully and felt that this man's words were very logical, but there were big problems in his logic.

Li Banfeng said: "I'm making money now. You can be my guide. I'm very satisfied. I'll give you three yuan."

"Three yuan for showing you the way?" Tan Jinxiao was very happy, "If you have this job in the future, you have to come to me. I will quit doing other things and serve you exclusively!"

Liangcai asked: "Is it true that he is the only one who can eat, and we who don't make any money can't eat?"

Tan Jinxiao nodded seriously: "No, those who don't make money will have to starve!"

Li Banfeng took out a wad of banknotes: "We have made money, you will be my guide, Juanzi, Mengzi, Xiaoshan will be my bodyguards, Miss Xiao will be my secretary, and the Liangwucai sisters will be my..."

Li Banfeng was still thinking about what position would be more suitable, and Liang Wu took the initiative to answer: "We sisters will warm your bed."

Tan Jinxiao rolled his eyes: "Just one? I can do it too! You don't have to hire so many people in the future. I'll do the bodyguard work for you. I'll tell you the truth, with my Yun Shang skills, we don't dare to do it."

Speaking of being awesome, most people can’t get close to us!”

He remembered that he was a cultivator on the cloud, and it seemed that his memory had recovered a lot.

Tan Jinxiao looked at Xiao Yeci, and then said to Li Banfeng: "I can't replace you with a young lady. I don't know how to read. You have to hire her as secretary."

Liangcai asked: "We sisters warmed the quilt for Master Qi, can you change it too?"

"It can be changed!" Tan Jinxiao patted his chest, "My body is warm. Not only is it warm, but it is also sticky. The quilt I have warmed is quite decent!"

Liangwu said with a smile: "We sisters are very capable. We can warm up the bed, what else can we do!"

Tan Jinxiao's head drooped: "I can't do anything else, even if I intervene, I can't be perfect!"

He led a group of people into a restaurant. Li Banfeng said: "I see there are several restaurants on the roadside, why do you have to come to this one?"

Tan Jinxiao answered honestly: "This restaurant is delicious. I know the manager. With so many of us eating together, I have to take care of the business of my old friend."

There were not many people in the restaurant.

Tan Jinxiao found a table and sat down, shouting at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, what are you thinking about? We're here for business!"

The restaurant manager came over with a big wooden box on his back: "What do you guys want to eat?"

Tan Jinxiao said: "Today we will eat meaty food, one bowl of pork rice per person!"

The shopkeeper took out a pen and paper from the wooden box behind him and was about to write down the order when he was stopped by Li Banfeng: "I don't want to eat braised pork."

Tan Jinxiao was unhappy: "The braised pork is delicious, just listen to me!"

Li Banfeng said: "Is there a menu? I'll order!"

Tan Jinxiao said: "This is not like outside. We don't cook table dishes here, they just serve big bowls of rice. Just listen to me. The most economical thing is to eat braised pork rice."

The shopkeeper brought the menu from the wooden box behind him. Li Banfeng took a look and saw that there really were no table dishes.

Even if there was no food on the table, Li Banfeng didn't want to eat braised pork. He ordered a seafood rice dish, which cost 1 yuan and 20 cents.

Tan Jinxiao stomped his feet: "Let's order paella, just Gala shell bibimbap, what about the head? Braised pork is much better than this, big fat meat slices, it can satisfy the hunger and satisfy the craving. How good is it for you to eat this!"

Gala shell refers to clams, and Li Banfeng really loves to eat this.

Xiao Yeci looked at the menu: "The food is not expensive. You said before that you can only eat meat if you earn three yuan. I see that a rice with meat here is enough for just one yuan."

Tan Jinxiao said: "Sister, do you want to eat just this one meal a day? Is it true that you have eaten up this meal and don't think about anything else? Can't you live your life slowly?"

Xiao Yeci ordered a pork rib rice, Liang Wucai ordered two roast duck rice, and Juanzi ordered three pork rice.

The shopkeeper took down the order and went to work in the kitchen.

Li Banfeng said: "This restaurant is not small, why don't you even see a waiter?"

Tan Jinxiao shook his head and said, "Where can I have the money to hire a man?"

Xiao Yeci said: "This business is pretty good. We can still afford to hire two or three guys."
