Chapter 171 Huang Zhong, a part-time worker
The Dragon King didn't know that Huang Zhong was also in Mingfeng County at this time.
However, Huang Zhong’s life is very difficult now.
Because the money bag fell off, Huang Zhong and his family of three could not eat. In fact, even if they had money, they might not be able to guarantee a meal in Nanhai County. However, if they had no money, it would be particularly difficult.
Huang Zhong and his family rushed from Longchuan County to Mingfeng County, and all the way. On the way, Huang Zhong thought that it would be great if the situation in Nanhai County was not as good as it is now. Then he could kill some bandits and get some money to eat. It was not like now. The road was calm, let alone bandits, there were no bandits.
Under the rule of the Dragon King, Nanhai County is indeed great and is the best place Huang Zhong has ever seen. It is very similar to a paradise, where people live peacefully, live and work in peace, and have a good meal and clothing.
But in this situation, what should you do if Huang Zhong is asked? Huang Zhong is also very desperate. He can't run to someone else's house to steal it in the middle of the night. If he does this, he will not be Huang Zhong.
After arriving in Mingfeng County, Huang Zhongshi didn't want to leave anymore. Their family of three had to starve to death. The previous meal was given to Huang Zhong by a kind family. Three rice cakes, Huang Zhong, daughter Huang Wudie, and son Huang Xu each divided one. Huang Zhong and his daughter were both martial arts practitioners and had a lot of food. They couldn't fill their stomachs at all.
"Wu Die, take care of Xu'er, dad, go find work." Huang Zhong said sadly. As a father and a man, he must find a way at this time.
Huang Wudie is only twelve years old, but because of her long-term martial arts practice, her figure is almost as tall as an ordinary adult man, with a heroic face. He nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, Dad, my daughter must take good care of me."
"Well, by the way, now it is under the rule of the Dragon King. Be tolerant of everything and never do it at will. Do you understand?"
"father..."
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly. This daughter is actually quite good. She has amazing martial arts talent. Even though she is only twelve years old this year, she already has nearly 60% of Huang Zhong's ability. Especially in her archery skills, she has a tendency to be better than her, but her temper is a bit hot and not very much like a girl.
"Xu'er, I'm leaving for my father, you and your sister are still alive."
Huang Xu's face was yellow. He was only ten years old this year. He should have been at the age of activeness, but he didn't have a few taels of flesh on his body. He knew he was very sick at a glance.
"Dad, go, my sister and I wait for you to come back."
After giving another advice, Huang Zhong went out and walked out of the alley. Huang Zhong was a little confused. Where did he find any work to do? This is the first time a girl got into a sedan chair. After a while, he couldn't even think of what he could do.
"It seems that I can only work hard." Finally, Huang Zhong thought of a place he was good at and worked hard.
Because he didn't know much about Mingfeng County, Huang Zhong asked several people in a row. Finally, someone told him: "Do you want to work hard?"
"Yes, brother, do you know where to have such strength? I have a lot of strength."
"Then you are asking the right person. Mr. Zhu's cement workshop is looking for someone recently. I think you are really strong. If you want to go, then go."
"Mr. Zhu's cement workshop? Brother, where is that cement workshop?" Huang Zhong was very happy.
The man told Huang Zhong the bottom lane. Huang Zhong followed his guidance and came all the way outside the city of Mingfeng County. After rushing for several miles, he finally found it.
Huang Zhong also knew about cement. This was a strange thing that the Dragon King brought from heaven. However, Huang Zhong definitely didn’t know how to make cement. Seeing that the cement workshop was full of smoke and dust, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and still had to go. How could he eat if he didn’t go?
The manager of the cement workshop was a middle-aged man named Zhu Quan. He heard that Huang Zhong was here to find work and was very strong. Zhu Quan was very happy: "Huang Zhong, right? Look at it, the cement over there, the one in sacks, you can move the cement out, and after the move, there will be stones there, you can move it to the kiln. Just this little work, as long as you have strong strength, you will definitely be able to do it. How about it, do you want to do it?"
"Well, Manager Zhu, how do you calculate the salary?" Huang Zhong still knew how to ask about the salary.
"There is no wages, because the Dragon King doesn't like Wuzhu coins, but you can do it if you want Wuzhu coins. But if you don't want Wuzhu coins, we can eat rice here, including meat, wine, chicken, duck, fish and meat."
Huang Zhong, who had eaten good rice for several days, heard that there was meat and wine, and he actually swallowed his saliva. He became greedy.
"I have two children, can I come here to have a meal together?"
"No problem, but in that case, the food will probably be worse. We are conscientious and will not cheat you. How about it, should we do it?"
Then there is nothing to say, you must do it, if you don’t do it, you will starve to death.
As one of the five tiger generals of Shu Han in later generations, Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, and moving cement and stones was simply a little bit. Other guys moved at most two bags of cement at a time, which was 200 kilograms, and Huang Zhong moved at least four bags at a time. Huang Zhong could lift the big stones directly without breathing.
Otherwise, if someone who is capable can stand out anywhere, Huang Zhong only moved for less than an hour, Zhu Quan was shocked.
"Huang Zhong, looking at you like this, you must have learned martial arts. You don't look like a hard-working person at all."
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, but said nothing. He was not the kind of person who casually complained to others.
Zhu Quan was also very eye-catching: "Looking at you like this, I guess you have encountered difficulties. Just do this, don't do it anymore. You should have dinner first. By the way, didn't you say you still have two children? Call the children here and don't let the children hungry."
"Shopkeeper Zhu, isn't that good?"
"Don't be polite, I'm just in charge of the business, not the shopkeeper, and it's okay. The Dragon King is kind. Since we are the people of the Dragon Prince, we have to follow the Dragon King Master, right? I think you are doing big things, but there are some difficulties for a while. Maybe I will help you now and beg you in the future." Zhu Quan smiled.
Huang Zhong always believed that merchants were the kind of greedy people who were greedy for profit, but this manager Zhu was really beyond his expectations.
But in the end, Huang Zhong refused.
"Okay, since you said that, I won't force you anymore, but I'd better take the child first and be by my side, so I can take care of you."
Huang Zhong did not refuse this time because this was agreed at the beginning, and he worked hard and the child could have a meal.
