183 Huojia ship
183
A group of people just pushed and shoved and stood closest to the ferry, so that when the cargo ship docked, the captain of the ship or the steward in charge could see them for the first time, and choose themselves and their companions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Li Tie squeezed in the front with his strong physique, and behind him stood on the left was his younger brother Li Tong, and on the right stood the black and thin man just now, the two of them stood behind Li Tie on the left and right, helping him resist the push from behind, and the three of them formed a triangle and were firmly nailed to the front.
Entering the port is a big ship, the flag fluttering on the bow of the ship makes the coolies standing there waiting instantly excited, although they are illiterate, but they can distinguish the sign of each ship, the big ship that is about to dock is the big ship from the Huo family, the Huo family started by shipping, and made a fortune by shipping, not only covering almost half of the country's shipping, but also relying on several generations of people to explore the sea to accumulate unimaginable wealth, all in everyone's eyes Huo family's ship, that is almost the same as a cornucopia。
"What are you talking about? There is a Huo family's ship coming in?" The steward in charge of the dock jumped when he heard the people below say that there was a Huo family's ship entering, you must know that they are just a small dock here, not a prosperous big dock at all, how could such a place attract the Huo family's ship? But at this time, he couldn't think about anything, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and hurriedly ran to the dock.
"The steward's ship has arrived!" said a sturdy man in a neat short shirt respectfully to the gray-haired old man sitting there dressed in a dark blue cloth robe.
"It's already here!" said the old man with his somewhat cloudy eyes, "Then let's get off the boat too! Move all those things down, be careful, that one is full of good things, be careful of your skin!"
"Yes~!"
After the boat stopped on the dock, the crew on the ship put the pedals on the boat and the shore, the big man stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back and looked down on the coolies standing below, in fact, the crew members on his ship could move those boxes down by themselves, but no matter which trade has the rules of that trade, these goods on the ship are handed over to those coolies to carry that is also the rule, he doesn't care about this little money, and these coolies can also eat together, why not do it. So he stood there and nodded a few seemingly casually, and then waved his hand to say that it was done, and the people he clicked immediately stood there with a smile on their faces, while the rest of the unchosen ones scattered dejectedly waiting for the arrival of the next ship.
"The goods on my ship are all precious things, you guys have your hands and feet to keep my hands and feet steady, if I break it, even if I pull your skin off, it won't be enough to pay for it!" said the big man with a hideous face.
"Ship boss, please rest assured, we will definitely be careful!" Li Tie, who was standing there, replied boldly, his luck was good today, and he was directly hit just now.
"Slippery head, take them over to move the boxes, show me the good, don't let them break things!" the big man instructed a black man like a charcoal head beside him.
"Okay boss!" the man known as the slippery head waved at Li Tie and the others, "You all come with me!"
Li Tie and his group of more than a dozen followed the slippery head all the way to a room at the bottom of the cabin, where more than 20 large wooden boxes were neatly placed.
"These boxes are all off the ship!" said Slippery Head, pointing to the big boxes, "These boxes are full of precious goods, and I can't afford to lose if I sell them all, so be careful with me!"
"Yes~~!" Li Tie and the others all bent down and assured.
Those wooden boxes are made of high-quality camphor wood, the weight of such wooden boxes is not light, and the contents are also surprisingly heavy, so Li Tie discussed with his group of brothers and decided that four people carry a box, which makes it necessary to use many times, but it is the most secure, in fact, they are also very afraid in their hearts, because the other party has repeatedly emphasized that the contents of these boxes are valuable, in case there is really a mistake, they will really have to pay for their lives!
After Li Tie discussed it here, he immediately beckoned the brothers to start working, they all did this all year round, and they carried strong hemp rope and crowbar or something with them, everyone tied the box with their hands and feet, first moved it to the outside deck, and then inserted the crowbar up, and the four of them lifted the box and walked down easily.
"Haha~~~! Tiezi, aren't you usually very powerful? Why are you so cowardly today! Four people carry a box! You are all!" Along with them was another group of people, the leader was a strong man named Biaozi, the two sides had a lot of friction because of the competition for business before, but Li Tie and his family were originally the aborigines of the town, and Li Dazhuang had been mixing on this dock for a long time, so the ordinary coolies did not dare to provoke them, so even if Biaozi had a lot of friction with Li Tie, it was at most only a verbal quarrel and sarcasm, and there was basically no real hands-on.
If it was left in normal times, Li Tie would definitely fight back unceremoniously, but today he didn't, just instructed the brothers who followed him to do a good job, pay attention not to let the goods have any mistakes, unlike others, he followed his father to live here since he was a child, so he knows far more things than these individuals, this ship is indeed hanging the flag of the Huo family, but it is not an ordinary Huo family ship, the frame embroidered on the flag has a blue frame more than other flags, which means that the ship boss is responsible for shipping in the Huo family, Although it is not clear why the ship boss in charge of shipping will come inland, but in the Huo family, anyone who can be in charge of shipping is definitely not an ordinary person, so Li Tie is now very careful about these goods, lest something go wrong, the Huo family will definitely not spare himself.
Li Tie is a very good person, so he is also very prestigious in front of those brothers, although everyone doesn't know why Li Tie is so careful this time, but it's always good to be careful, and four people carrying a box is nothing at all for those of them who are usually used to doing heavy work, so although they only carry one box at a time to get off the boat, the speed is very fast.
Biao Zi watched Li Tie and they carried the box back and forth a few times, and on his side there were two people carrying a box, although it was quite fast, but it was not as easy as the other four carrying a box, and the number of boxes carried out by the two sides was basically the same, which made Biao Zi's heart a little anxious, he looked at the fewer and fewer boxes and gritted his teeth to let people tie up the two boxes, and then picked up the crowbar himself and picked it at both ends, planning to pick two boxes and get off the boat like this.
To say that these coolies rely on the strength of the body, although these two big boxes are very heavy, but it is not impossible to pick up, so Biao Zi alone carried two boxes to the boat, carrying such two big boxes to get off the boat must be very difficult, Biao Zi was very careful along the way, but still when he walked to the boat board, he staggered and crooked, and now he is carrying two such heavy big boxes, the body is so crooked and the balance is immediately unable to grasp, seeing that the Biao Zi and the two boxes are about to be crooked into the river, and at this time a person suddenly jumped out from the side, He bent down directly to Biaozi's side, and then suddenly straightened up the waist pole, and his two hands were like a grappling hook firmly grasped the rope tied to the top of the box to fix, he was half a head taller than Biaozi, so a flat shoulder like a crowbar fell on his shoulder, and the two boxes were also firmly grasped by him, only Biaozi thought that his body was unstable and fell directly out and fell into the river.
This scene actually happened just a moment, and by the time everyone reflected it, Biaozi had already fallen into the water, and Li Tie took over Biaozi and got off the ship step by step with the two boxes of goods.
"Okay~~!" The boat boss, who had been standing at the bow of the boat, saw everything that had just happened, but after he applauded Li Tie, his face suddenly sank and said: "Mom, do you take Lao Tzu's words as the wind in your ears?" Lao Tzu just said it very clearly, my things are all precious things, let you all be careful with me, but as a result, this fart almost happened!"
The words of the boat boss suddenly made the faces of Biao Zi and his gang of brothers who had just come ashore change color, what happened just now was definitely not what they wanted, and this boat was the ship of the Huo family, what kind of person is the Huo family, it is definitely the existence of the overlord on the waterway, and what is it, I am afraid that I am not even an ant in their eyes, and the fault of what happened just now is indeed theirs, it was Biao Zi himself who was too anxious, which led to this accident, but fortunately, Li Tie made a timely move when the accident happened just now, and hugged the two boxes of goods, otherwise Biaozi would not dare to imagine it nowWhat if those two boxes of goods fall into the water!
"What's the matter?" the chief steward walked out with the help of a servant.
"Boss~!" The boss of the boat, who had just been high in front of the people, immediately walked over respectfully as if he had changed into a different person, and whispered: "The coolies who came to carry the goods just now accidentally almost dropped the box into the river!"
The chief steward's brow furrowed when he heard this, "Is the box okay?"
"The box is fine~!There is a good hand in this gang, and they will take over the box directly, and the box is fine!" When he said this, the boat boss was also very grateful to Li Tie in his heart, otherwise the box would fall into the water, and he would definitely be implicated here.
"It's good that the box is fine!" The chief manager was relieved when he heard that the box was fine, "The contents of the box are all things that the master has given to Mr. Nansong, and these things can't be missed!"
"Don't worry, the box is fine!" The ship's boss was relieved to see that the chief manager was not angry.
"You go over and watch carefully, I don't want something to happen! By the way, you just said that the box was taken over by someone to be fine, reward that coolie!" After the chief manager finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but when his eyes inadvertently swept over the shore, he saw an old man walking leisurely with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly walked to the side of the boat and looked with his eyes wide open, and found that the old man walking on the shore was Mr. Nansong, who he was going to visit here.
"Hurry~~!Go quickly~~!" The chief manager instantly swept away his previous old state, pushed away the little guy who was supporting him, and lifted the corner of his clothes and walked down the boat.
The boss of the boat was taken aback by such an abnormality, and he hurriedly followed the boss all the way down the boat, and after the boss got off the boat, he went all the way to the west, and after walking a short distance, he came directly to a small shop with a food disguise.
"Mr. Nansong~!" The chief manager chased all the way to Li Hui's shop, and saw Qiu Lao standing there talking to a young man, he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and bowed.
"Ah~~!" Qiu Lao was still very surprised by this guy who came out of nowhere, but he immediately laughed when he looked at it: "Why are you an old thing! Why are you not dead! You are so old, what are you doing here!"
Hearing Elder Qiu say this, the chief steward was not angry, but replied with a smile: "Isn't this thinking about serving the masters, how can my old bones have to last a few more years! I still want to see my husband a few more times! I can show off in front of the little masters!"
"You old thing just can talk!Come and sit~~Sit~~!" Old Qiu directly beckoned the chief steward to sit down.
Although such a small shop could not enter the eyes of the chief manager at all, but now that Qiu Lao greeted him, he hurriedly went over and sat down with Qiu Lao's hands.
"Pillar, you go and tell the girl, I'm here, just let her cook a few dishes and say hello!"
"Oh~~~!Okay~~!I'll go over here!" said the pillar, glancing at the old man with white hair and eyebrows, and hurriedly ran to the back.
