Chapter 2 Move bricks, make money, buy meat
110 servings of food!
Ge Xiaotian built a straw shed in the courtyard of the old house, summoned eleven strong men, and then kicked the straw shed over, and waved his big hand:
"Let's go, let's move bricks!"
Climb up the wall, see that there is no one in the alley, and lead everyone straight to the brick kiln.
Along the way, seeing such a burly and majestic group of big men, pedestrians were afraid to avoid them, and they all avoided them far away.
Encountering a few ruffians wearing vest bell bottoms and dyed red, green, yellow and blue, Ge Xiaotian deliberately stepped forward, followed by thirteen strong men.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, the red-haired young man smiled all over his face:
"Brother Tian, where are you going?"
"Do you have any smoke?"
"Yes, yes!" the red-haired young man took out a pack of big chickens in pain, "Brother Tian, the brothers will leave first if they have something, and invite you to drink another day?"
"Hmm!"
rubbed a pack of cigarettes and a meal, Ge Xiaotian was in a very comfortable mood.
Although the two sides have no grievances and no enmity, they are both in the same township, and Ge Xiaotian did not call his brother less in his previous life.
Now I have found the field, tsk••••••
Alas, why am I so vulgar?
Ge Xiaotian shook his head and continued on his way.
Brick kiln, Gejia Village's subordinate institution Sancha Township has one.
I remember that there was a big incident in another time and space in 05.
At that time, when the pollution control and the big chimney were being knocked down, the construction workers picked up a palm-sized golden lump.
The brick kiln owner was not happy when he found out, and he fought for several years, and finally he didn't know what was going on.
Ge Xiaotian wanted to get the golden pimple in advance, but this was just a matter of hearing about the path, who knows if there is still this time and space.
Besides, if you have the kung fu to find the golden lumps, you might as well move a few more bricks.
The owner of the brick kiln is a little related to Ge Xiaotian.
The third son of his grandfather's cousin has to be called the third uncle.
From childhood to adulthood, except for the New Year's greetings, I haven't met a few times.
However, he has a daughter, and when he was a child, Ge Xiaotian often lived at his grandmother's house, and he played together, so he became familiar with each other.
Finding the third uncle of the distant relative, this short and thin middle-aged man saw the thirteen strong men standing side by side with a brush, his expression was stunned, and he hurriedly smiled and greeted him warmly:
"Yo, Xiaotian, long time no see, who are you?"
"Third uncle, do you have a job?"
"Huh?" Lu Xingguo thought that he had met a ruffian to collect money, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"In the past few days, the casual workers have been busy with farm work, and there is just a shortage of a few people!"
"How many are missing?" Ge Xiaotian didn't plan to throw all the strong men here.
In another time and space, he worked on the construction site and knew a little about the output of the brick kiln.
The brick kilns in the township are not big, even if it is the peak season now, it is only 50,000 yuan a day, and it is a waste of labor for thirteen people to move.
In addition, there are also different types of bricks.
One is to stack the dried bricks into the cave, which is a bit technical.
The second is to transport the burned red bricks out of the cave and arrange them into brick stacks according to the number of 1,000 or 2,005, which is more difficult.
The third is to load the red bricks sold and unload them at the destination, which is generally rare, because most buyers load and unload them themselves in order to save money, unless the demand is relatively large.
The first type of strong men is not expected to be, and the brick kilns have fixed yarders.
Ge Xiaotian wants the second type, which is generally temporary, so you don't have to worry about robbing other people's jobs.
Lu Xingguo's face was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not too much••••••"
Ge Xiaotian took out his father's red plum and handed it over:
"How about three people?"
"Enough is enough!"
"Okay, I'll leave three people behind, and I'll settle it in the evening?"
"No problem!"
Borrowing six pairs of brick pliers and a wooden row car, Ge Xiaotian wanted to teach the strong men how to use it, but he didn't expect that the three strong men had no teacher, four pieces with one hand, eight pieces with both hands, and nearly 100 pieces of half a cigarette.
Terrible!
Taking the remaining ten strong men out of the brick kiln, Ge Xiaotian was just about to stop a van, when he suddenly saw an idle four in the brick kiln.
Four is not like similar tractors, the main accessories include steering wheels, chassis, front and rear axles, etc., most of which are disassembled from scrapped cars, and then equipped with high-horsepower diesel engines, find an auto repair shop to assemble them, people sit next to the engine, behind is the carriage, tsk, who drives who knows, thieves!
Turned around and found the third uncle, dropped the pack of big chicken cigarettes, and taught the strong men how to shake the diesel engine one by one, and a group of people rushed to Zhanglou Township, ten miles away.
There are also several brick kilns there.
Passing by the cement factory, he saw two trailers full of cement parked at the door, Ge Xiaotian stopped the car and took the strong men to kill them.
After some bargaining, the four carriages were unloaded one hundred and two, leaving two strong men busy and continuing to hurry.
Hey, the sand field, and two more strong men.
It's heroic and exciting.
Driving the four that trembled violently, Ge Xiaotian was like an old bustard who came to introduce the little chickens, running down in a circle, and the thirteen strong men were all divided.
He didn't return immediately, but found a nearby brick kiln to pull bricks a few times, and made a small profit of ten yuan.
At half past five in the afternoon, the strong men were loaded into the car one by one.
returned to the brick kiln of the third uncle of the distant family, and after settling the account, Ge Xiaotian took out ten yuan:
"Third uncle, this is the oil money of the fourth, thank you"
"Forehead ••••••"
Lu Xingguo scratched his head, and looked at the fourteen backs that were gradually moving away, as if something was strange.
And holding a stack of light blue tickets, Ge Xiaotian was as happy as the stupid son of the landlord's family......
Two strong men unloaded cement one hundred and two.
Two strong men packed a hundred sand.
Nine strong men moved bricks, more or less, and earned five hundred and three.
Seven hundred and five in total!
Half a day!
Gee••••••
'Farmer 01, good physical strength, skills: agronomy, construction. ’
Ge Xiaotian glanced at the state of the strong men, handed the cigarettes one by one, and the latter refused all of them.
"Nongyi, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired!" Nongyi's smile was very innocent.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant!"
Although the daily consumption of the farmer can be deducted from the system, there is no food in the system now.
Moreover, these men are all living people!
If you can eat and drink Lazar, why live like a machine.
••••••
Sancha Township, as its name suggests, is at the junction of three counties and cities.
Not to mention 99 years, even if it is another time and space 17 years, the township reform town is not very prosperous.
The main street is a provincial road, which was repaired once ten years ago, and now it is full of potholes, and there are basically no big cars.
In 95, there was a trailer full of flour that overturned, and the night passed, not to mention the flour, the wheels were gone.
Later, the situation was much better, at least no one blatantly set up cards in broad daylight.
Find a sheep soup restaurant at random, arrange the strong men, Ge Xiaotian gnawed on the oil cake roll and green onions and went out slowly.
It's not a bazaar today, but there are stores.
After walking around, Ge Xiaotian found that there were a lot of things that could be recycled into the system.
Copper, iron, grain, meat, etc.
However, according to the recycling ratio, there are some differences between them.
Five pounds of wheat for one serving of food.
One pound of chicken can be exchanged for two servings of food.
Wheat is four cents and five pounds, which is equivalent to 2.25 yuan to buy a piece of food.
Three pieces of chicken and two pounds, equivalent to 1.6 yuan to buy a piece of food.
The system seems to have a soft spot for meat.
Pork, sheep's head, beef, fish, the higher the price, the higher the proportion.
Through comparative calculations, Ge Xiaotian found that recycling pork is the most suitable!
Five dollars a catty, recycled into the system is five servings of food.
That's the equivalent of $1 for a serving of food!
Thinking of the bag of wheat that he had recovered before, Ge Xiaotian was distressed and wanted to pick his feet.
Oh my God, fortunately, I have a heart!
If you buy a few hundred catties of wheat directly, won't you lose half?
In these years, there was no cold fresh meat in the countryside, so Ge Xiaotian turned around and caught a glimpse of a large meat stall in the distance.
In front of the stall stood a handsome girl of sixteen or seventeen.
He wears an apron on his upper body and flared trousers that are popular in the countryside today.
Approaching the butcher stall, I could see the little girl's face clearly.
The hair seems to have just been straightened, and the appearance is okay.
Double eyelids, large eyes, slightly straight nose bridge, moderate lips.
The facial features are put together, and it looks ordinary, but if you look closely, the more you look at it, the more you look at it, the more flavorful it is.
In particular, the appearance of frowning and making a small face is still heroic.
Start with this car, make sure you don't lose money!
The only regret is that you may not make much money moving bricks.
It's a pity!
Syllable!
A boning knife was stuck in the board in a daze.
Ge Xiaotian shook his head and came back to his senses in an instant.
The little girl's pretty face was slightly red, she pursed her lips and snorted angrily: "Have you touched enough ?!!!?"
"Huh?!" Ge Xiaotian hurriedly put down the half square of pork belly in his hand, and quickly thought about how much to buy.
Seven hundred yuan must not be spent all, and it costs money for food and accommodation at night.
"Do you want to buy it or not?"
"Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy,
"Huh, why are you buying so much?"
"Eat, aren't you stupid?"
"You!" the little girl slashed at the pig's head angrily, "It's almost time to withdraw from the stall, how can there be so many, that's all!"
"Then I'll have them all!"
The little girl didn't say a word, put all the pieces of meat into a woven bag, picked up the scale rod, and pushed the scale, "Twenty-five catties, one hundred and twenty-five yuan!"
"It's not short of pounds, is it?"
"Get out!"
Hey, this little is delicious!
Not far from the meat stall, Ge Xiaotian turned his head sharply, just met the bright eyes, and couldn't help but kiss.
Wood!
"Phew!" the little girl snorted, her face flushed, and she hurriedly lowered her head to clean up the meat stall.
Ge Xiaotian smiled happily.
Man, it's got to be a little worse!
Find a place where no one is around to recycle the pork.
130 servings of food!
Huh? There are 5 more copies?
In other words, an extra pound of meat?!
Niang Xipi, I'm afraid that the girl sells pork to lose money?!
Ay?
I'll buy her in the future!
Back at the sheep soup restaurant, the strong men had already finished eating.
found a black hotel casually, and in the boss's frightened and reluctant eyes, he spent ten yuan to open two rooms.
This kind of small hotel is similar to a school dormitory, with bunk beds, and one can sleep eight!
After arranging everyone, Ge Xiaotian thought about how to go next.
Moving bricks and those spiritual loose jobs must be done.
But if there are too many people, a few factories in ten miles and eight townships will not be able to put down, and if they can't keep it, the small bosses will collectively reduce their wages.
I have to think of another way out.
Turning his head to look at the strong men who were sleeping soundly, Ge Xiaotian went out to light a cigarette.
Lift your watch, eight o'clock in the evening.
There is no one on the dark street with no street lights, and occasionally a farm tricycle drives by, and it runs fast.
In the room of the black shop owner next to him, there were bursts of familiar songs.
"When the mountain peaks have no edges and corners, when the river no longer flows, when time stops••••••"
"Let us be the companion of Hongchen, live a chic life, gallop horses, and share the prosperity of the world••••••"
"Ah••••••h••••••h
