Chapter 67: Captain Wang Hong
Wang Hong?
Su Wanwan recalled in her mind, as if she had seen this Wang Hong's name somewhere.
Ah, by the way, Wang Hong's name appeared on the "Ore Record Book" I read yesterday, and he was the captain of an ore team.
Su Wanwan thought about it for a long time, and she could only think of this, and she couldn't remember anything about the amount of ore handed over by Wang Hong's team.
"Whatever, this person looks suspicious, follow along. Su Wanwan was thinking about it when she saw Wang Hong put away his black clothes and continued to walk towards the cave, and hurriedly followed.
After turning a few corners, Wang Hong finally stopped, showed a happy look, raised his hand and beckoned somewhere.
Su Wanwan hid lightly and listened to their conversation.
"Brother Hong, are you here, have you received all the tools?"
"I've received them all, I've received them all, I've made you wait for a long time!" Wang Hong laughed and approached the crowd.
"What Brother Hong said, you helped get the tools of my brother, so we can sleep a little longer in the morning, and what is it to wait a little longer. ”
"That's it, that's it!"
"We've just arrived, too. ”
"Brother Hong, are we going to mine in the old place?"
"Yesterday the place was good, the soil was soft, and it didn't take much effort to dig!"
"Yes, Brother Hong is looking for a good place. ”
"Brother Hong said that he would go wherever he went. ”
"Since everyone said listen to me, let's go to the place from yesterday, where there is still a lot of ore. Wang Hong was surrounded by the crowd and smiled happily, "I received my salary this month, and I invite everyone to have a good meal." ”
"Brother Hong is mighty, Brother Hong is mighty!"
"Let Brother Hong break the bank again!"
Everyone talked and laughed and walked to a remote place, took the tools distributed by Wang Hong, and dug the mine on the spot.
The mine hoe hoes down to the corner of the mine, there are a lot of soil have fallen, some people are lucky, a few times to dig the ore, carefully pick it up, wipe off the sediment on it, and then equip the ore storage bag.
Su Wanwan hid in the rear and observed for a long time, only to see them mining seriously, except for Wang Hong's suspicious appearance at the beginning, the other few people were nothing special.
It didn't take long for the sound of talking and the impact of the hoe in the mine to start working, and it turned out that the others had received the tools and started working.
There were many people, Su Wanwan thought about it and left first.
Out of the mine, Su Wanwan went straight to the tool collection place.
"Hello, I'm ......"
"I've got all the tools, I'll come back tomorrow morning. A young man named Akang didn't raise his head, tidying up the things on the table.
"I'm sorry, I'm not here to get the tools. Su Wanwan hurriedly said, "I want to ask if Mei Xiaoshi is there?"
"Looking for Brother Xiaoshi?" Ah Kang stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Su Wanwan, "Who are you? What are you looking for Brother Xiaoshi?"
"I'm a friend of his father's old Meitou, isn't this Mei Xiaoshi oversleeping and being scolded by his father in the morning, his father is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, no, let me come over to see if he is still sad!" Su Wanwan said the words she had thought of, and sighed after speaking.
Ah Kang thought in his heart, since this person even knew that Brother Xiaoshi had overslept this morning and was scolded by his father, he was definitely not an outsider.
"No, no, Brother Xiao Shi is such a dead-eyed person, it's okay for a long time, and he just told me that his father is all for his good. Ah Kang thought in his heart, and his attitude towards Su Wanwan was much more enthusiastic, "I also trouble you to make a special trip." ”
Ah Kang pulled a chair next to him and asked Su Wanwan to sit down.
Su Wanwan sat down naturally and waved her hand: "Don't bother, Mei Xiaoshi can think like this, his father must be very relieved to know it." ”
"Brother Xiaoshi has something to do when he goes out, the girl will sit down and rest first. ”
"Okay!" Su Wanwan was waiting for this sentence.
"I'm from somewhere else, I heard Lao Meitou say that many of the people in this vein are refugees from other places?" Su Wanwan looked around, pretending not to care and asked.
"Yes, my family fled here. Ah Kang and Su Wanwan were talking, sorting out their things, "This is the jurisdiction of Hongchen Town, and the mayor of the town is a very good person, not only giving us food and shelter, but also giving us work." ”
"Then you can make a lot of money here in a month, right?"
"I'm just handing out tools, 50 copper coins a month. Ah Kang shook his head when he talked about his work, and said enviously, "It's not like those mining jobs, although they are tired, but they are paid at least 2 silver coins a month." ”
"Then why don't you go mining?" Su Wanwan continued to ask.
"My mother won't let me, saying that I have thin arms and legs, and I can't even hold a mine hoe!"
Su Wanwan looked at Ah Kang, although Ah Kang was not very old, he could also see that his body was very strong.
"That's because your mother doesn't want you to suffer. ”
"Of course I know my mother doesn't want me to suffer. Akang's expression darkened, "So I didn't go to mine secretly behind my mother's back, otherwise my mother would definitely die of sadness." ”
"It's easy for you, and you can buy a lot of things for 50 copper. Su Wanwan quickly changed the topic.
"No, I have to eat and wear here, and if I buy a whetstone a few times, it's gone, but fortunately I don't have to mine, otherwise I'd starve myself to death just by buying these tools, and this money is not enough to spend." Akon sighed again.
"Is it?When I first came, I heard that some team leaders would invite everyone to dinner!" Su Wanwan lowered her head and said casually, "I thought I could make a lot of money here!"
"Please eat?" Ah Kang turned his head in shock when he heard this, "Who doesn't work hard to make money and move out to live, and someone else will invite people to eat everywhere?"
Su Wanwan saw that Akang's shocked expression didn't look like he was pretending, so he waved his hand.
"Well, maybe I misheard. ”
Ah Kang didn't care, and continued to do his own thing.
"You have a good relationship with Mei Xiaoshi, right? I support you to always call him Brother Xiaoshi. ”
"Of course, when I first came, I was thanks to Brother Xiaoshi for taking care of me. Ah Kang grinned, and the whole person looked a lot more cheerful, "Brother Xiao Shi is very popular in the mine, everyone likes him." ”
"I have a fellow villager Xiaoqiang, who works under a man named Wang Hong, I don't know if you know him?"
"Xiaoqiang, Wang Hong, their team is all Captain Wang Hong came to receive the tools, I really don't know much about the people in their team......" Ah Kang thought for a while and shook his head, "I know Captain Wang Hong, I will help you ask next time I meet." ”
"My fellow countryman said that Captain Wang Hong is a good person, so he asked me to come here at night to try it!"
"Captain Wang Hong is very good, he takes care of others, and he is smiling when he sees us, and he doesn't have a fight at all. Ah Kang also praised Wang Hong when he said it, "I heard that he has a lot to do with the big people in the city." ”
"Big shot, who's it?" Su Wanwan immediately became interested and stepped forward.
"I don't know, I've heard what others say, I don't know if it's true or not, don't ask! I don't know anything!" Ah Kang quickly covered his mouth and refused to say anything more.
When Su Wanwan saw this, she was even more suspicious of this Wang Hong.
