343 Sell but not rent
"The surname Jiang didn't get a score this time. ”
Fang Jueming said, leaned down, and wrote a line of words on the white paper.
The paper is placed on the table, and the table is placed in the shed.
They also live in shacks, but they are spacious and airy, much more luxurious than others.
There are also some simple furniture, beds and tables in the shed, which are enough for daily living.
They have to go west every day, and the sheds they live in every day are improvised, just for one night, and they don't need to build so well at all, and the furniture or anything is not necessary at all.
But Fang Jueming and the others did this from the first day, and after that, they had to build it like this every day, and abandon it the next morning.
They are not all carpenters, but they are all first-class skilled hands, and they are very quick to do their work.
It doesn't take much time to build a shed in this way, and it's much more comfortable to live in.
Fang Jueming also carried the four treasures of the study with him, although it was the simplest kind, but it was no longer the daily needs of an ordinary craftsman.
He put all the scores of the "night school" on paper in the past few days, and accumulated them every day.
Now, Fang Jueming ranks first in the group, Fang Jueming's personal total score is 35, and Xu Xihuai is the same as him.
However, now, it is not him who ranks first in the total personal score, but Qiao Zhi, the person who was going to sell shoes to Sun Si on the first day.
The day before, he followed closely behind Xu Wen to respond to the call of the craftsman and scored four points, while Fang Jueming was half a beat slower and only scored two points.
Only points are added and no points are deducted for these two days, and the number of points increased is also reduced accordingly, and there is only one day per day.
And Qiao Zhi was silent and angry, and entered the top 30 every day and got all the extra points.
Of course, this is also because when he was officially grouped for the second time, Xu Xihuai discovered this person, took the initiative to discuss with Fang Jueming, and pulled him into the team.
Fang Jueming raised his head and glanced at Qiao Zhi quietly. He was counting the straw sandals he had sold, and counting the copper coins that were spread out in front of him.
It's all from the shoes he sells these days.
In fact, each of them was fully prepared to go out, but the intensity of the walk was much greater than they imagined, and the shoes were very worn. But the road can't be left unattended, so I have no choice but to buy it from Qiao Zhi.
Qiao Zhi looked very unsightly, his face was greedy, his eyes were shining, and he felt like his saliva was about to flow out.
Fang Jueming frowned, his gaze returned to the white paper in front of him.
He had to admit that in comparison, the demeanor of Jiang Wangfeng's gang was much better.
But the better their demeanor, the more unhappy Fang Jueming became, and the more he wanted to win over them in every aspect.
Until now, the person named Yan Fourteen had one more point than him, and Jiang Wangfeng had the same score as him. But they abandoned their martial arts, and when they were grouped, they chose two obviously not good ones, and they didn't get a score for two days.
Now Fang Jueming's group score has surpassed them a lot, and his personal score will be able to surpass it in an all-round way tomorrow, but I don't know why, Fang Jueming is even more unhappy when he thinks of this.
"Why do you keep staring at Jiang Wangfeng?" Xu Xihuai lay on his bed, with sleepy eyes, looking like he was going to fall asleep at any time. He heard Fang Jueming's voice, turned his head to glance at him, and yawned, "People are doing this way, it is clear that they don't take this matter to heart, and the grouping depends on human favors." You're so calculating, it's too ugly. ”
"It's not good-looking......" Fang Jueming suddenly became angry, and slapped the table, and the pen and paper and inkstone on it all jumped.
But soon, he closed his eyes and suppressed the emotions that suddenly exploded in his heart.
"This kind of person can ignore everything. But I can also 'calculate'. In short, this first, I have it!"
He suddenly slapped the table, and several teammates except Xu Xihuai were startled by him.
Qiao Zhi quickly calmed down and grinned: "First or not first or something, I don't care." But as you said, when you go back to the Western Desert, there will definitely be benefits first, right?"
"Of course. Obviously, along the way, the craftsman has been constantly testing us and screening. This is to divide us into three, six, nine and so on. When they arrive in the Western Desert, most of the top ranked people will be arranged to work better and get more wages. ”
Fang Jueming also saw the purpose of the craftsmen, he said slowly, Qiao Zhi and several other teammates nodded again and again.
"Then take the first one. Qiao Zhi said lightly.
Fang Jueming nodded solemnly, the room was a little stuffy, and he ripped off the yellow cloth towel covering his head.
Underneath the scarf, he had very rare short hair, as if it had only grown out of it for a short time, shaggy.
The sultry air lasted for most of the night, and the next morning it rained.
The pouring rain poured directly into the shack. The waterproof performance of the makeshift shack was certainly not very good, and there was a lot of screaming in the camp, and countless people jumped up from the grass bed with a scream.
"The fucking clothes are all soaked in the baggage, what should I do?" Chen Wannian said with a sad face.
"I can't help it, I'll just wear it. Sun Si also had a bitter face, looking around in his soaked clothes to see if he could find a place to hide from the rain.
"It's nothing if your clothes are wet, the key is to get on the road for a while...... We're in trouble. Xu asked.
"Do you still have to go on the road in this weather?" Chen Wannian was incredulous.
"There is only one month to go, and it is quite nervous to rush to the West Desert. Xu San said.
"Miserable ......" Chen Wannian and Sun Si lamented together.
"Miserable, I forgot to bring my coat. Tian Jifeng said.
"Do you want a coat? Fifty copper plates, a fire sale!" A voice sounded energetically as the rain hit the leaves, and at the same time a head poked into the shack.
"It's you again!" Sun Si shouted.
This face is not unfamiliar to them, of course it is Qiao Zhi.
"Yo, it's you! So you live here!" Qiao Zhi squeezed into the shed, and said happily, "I remember that your shoes are not good, right? I have a few pairs left here, and I will give you eight copper plates a pair." If you buy it with a coat, buy one get one free!How about it, it's a great deal!"
"If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, and besides, I have shoes!" Sun Si raised his eyebrows, triumphant.
"Hey, where did you get your shoes, and are there still people robbing me of business?Hey, your shoes are different?" Qiao Zhi subconsciously looked at his feet, and when he saw it, his eyes lit up, and he bent down to try to pull Sun Si's feet to take off his shoes.
Of course, Sun Si didn't do it, jumped on the ground on one foot, and jumped out of the shack all the way.
"You don't care where I bought it, it has nothing to do with you! I don't buy it, let's go, it's raining like this, I want a fart cloth!" Sun Si shouted loudly in the rain, but before the words fell, a thunderclap sounded, and the rain suddenly fell heavier.
The raindrops were so dense that they were blocked by the branches and leaves of the woods, and flowed downward. Looking out at the rain curtain on the official road, one pit after another was made on the loess road, and the scenery on the opposite side of the official road could not even be seen.
This kind of weather is really a bit uncomfortable without rushing in the rain.
"Do you rent this robe?" Xu Wen asked suddenly.
The sudden heavy rain made even Jiang Wangfeng a little embarrassed, but Xu Wen was obviously much calmer. He brushed the rain from his hair, pointed to Sun Si outside the shed, and said, "His shoes were not bought, they were made by me, they are not easy to wear and tear, and they can walk long roads." Although it can't be sold as a consumable item like straw sandals, a pair can sell for more than a burden. Well, if you can rent a shoe, I'll teach you how to make these shoes. ”
Qiao Zhi stared at Xu Wen and did not speak.
If you rent it, you have to pay it back, he rented a coat to Xu Wen, and the things that came back were still his, and he got the rent and shoes for nothing, which looked very cost-effective.
As a result, after a while, he winked at Xu Wen and shook his head with a smile: "No, only sell, not rent!"
As he spoke, he threw the coat in his hand onto his back and went out with a smile. After going out, he stared at Sun Si's feet again, didn't ask for anything, and walked away.
The rain hit his black hair and the coat behind him, and there was a lot of freedom and ease.
"I didn't flicker, so I had to brave the rain to hurry. Xu Wen turned around and spread his hands helplessly.
It can't rain every day this month, and clothes aren't a necessity. If you rent it, you can use it once, and let the rest of the time let the family carry it for you, of course, it is a good deal. However, Qiao Zhi was obviously very interested in those shoes, but he didn't get hit, which surprised Xu Wen.
In the gloomy weather, a group of people gathered in the rain and continued on the road.
Only a small number of people brought robes, including Jiang Wangfeng.
Wu Qiniang prepared a complete set of things for her son, and he generously said that he would take turns with Xu Wen.
The rest of the people were wearing robes that were obviously carried by Qiao Zhi, and it was obvious that some people were still bleeding under the pressure of the heavy rain.
If you want to say, the loess road surface may be fine in normal times, but it will be completely blown by the asphalt road on rainy days.
On the fifth day of the Western Desert, it only rained for half a day, but they were terribly hard all day.
It was dark early that day, and as soon as the craftsman said that he could rest, almost all the people lay down on the ground.
It's so tired, not just physically, but mentally as well.
Later, the rain stopped, and the sound of rain kept ringing in their heads, and the clothes on their bodies were wet and cold, enveloping the heat emitted from the surface of their bodies inside, and even Xu Wen felt a little broken.
"I can't build a shed, so let's find a place to sleep......"
Chen Wannian collapsed on the ground with his eyes closed, and his whole person was almost in a dying state.
"There won't be any more games tonight, will they?...... craftsmen and officials will be paralyzed from exhaustion," Sun Si muttered to himself.
"How, should I buy or rent?"
At this time, Qiao Zhi's voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Wen. He pointed to the only one piece of cloak left on his body and grinned at him.
Today, on this day, there is really a big difference between having a coat and not having it.
The rain didn't hit the body directly, and the person felt much better.
"Your shoes don't feel the same as mine. Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
"Hmph......" Qiao Zhi was about to speak, and another voice sounded full of anger.
"Everyone, hurry up and get a bite to eat, and our game will start in two quarters of an hour. Today's game...... There is a big prize for the winner!"
"What?"
"What the hell?"
"What the fuck ......"
Countless people burst out in an instant, and they all turned around.
Today they didn't make it to the post station, which was a field next to the official road. There were several carriages parked there, and a strange craftsman had just dismounted from them, and it was he who had said this.
He was tall, holding the wheels of the cart with his hands, and a dark spot on the back of his hand was particularly conspicuous.
Fang Jueming's group was also very tired, Xu Xihuai staggered to find a tree, planted it on the root, and began to snore.
Fang Jueming sat on the ground, his eyes flashed at this time, and he clenched his fists lightly: "The single score is the first, it depends on today!"
"Heavy reward!" Qiao Zhi perked up, his eyes burning and shining.
