Early in the morning in a border town, I turned back to the river and walked around the streets, unable to think of a good way to deal with the next dilemma. 【Book by】

I've already inquired with the residents of the town, and there is no money bank in the whole town, and even if I want to try to redeem the bracelet token in Xiuzhutang, I can't find a place for the time being.

The nearest bank is in Sealand.

This becomes a false proposition.

I couldn't raise the money, and there was very little hope of passing the level, but if I wanted to get the money, the first choice was to pass the level first.

It was a conundrum, and I had a headache thinking about it by the river, and I couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds.

What to do? I looked up and squinted at the clear sky, and after half an hour I decided I had to go to town and look for another opportunity.

I can't pick my shoulders or lift them, and the most direct thing I can think of is to make a fuss about the medical skills of the three-legged cat.

It's just that I have a concern in my heart that if I stay in the town's medical hall to work, I will have to postpone the time until Sealand.

Since I'm from outside, not a native of the town, one thing is true to all the information I know.

That is, you must work for a period of time first, and you must be diligent and conscientious, so that the other party feels that you can stay, or can contribute to him, and then you will be properly rewarded.

If you stay in one place for a long time, then you are still eligible to negotiate with the shopkeeper for your own remuneration.

When I was in Qibei, I once heard people talk about the elderly steward in the pharmacy, who had been working in the same pharmacy for decades, from a primary school apprentice to a gray-haired man, and was the shopkeeper's right-hand man.

In that situation, it is not only the remuneration given by the pharmacy shopkeeper, but also the dividends of the pharmacy and the extra red envelopes.

My thoughts drifted far away for a while, and my footsteps never stopped.

Follow the river all the way to the streets west of the river. Before I reached the pharmacy I had seen earlier, I was caught in a conversation between two passers-by.

They passed me and were discussing what they were going to do.

"Jia Lao Liu. How much money did you say the herb merchant gave? A thin brown-clothed man on the left asked the one who walked with him, and it seemed that the latter was the Jia Lao Liu he said.

"Lu Daduan, it's not a question of how much money you have, the question is where do I find the right person for him?"

"Isn't it just to sort out a medicinal herb? Where is there so much verbosity. The person called Lu Daduan said in a very unhappy tone, "At this time, he is still picky, does he know how many merchants are waiting in line to clear Xilan?" "Now there are few people who can help, and businessmen are running all over the place."

The more Lu Daduan said, the more unhappy he became: "There are so many people in the town, there were many more merchants than locals in the past, and now several warehouses are full of goods. Seeing that the price is rising, it would be good to find a few people for him. "He still has the qualifications to pick?!"

When he said this, he simply said in a sneering tone! "Don't you know, it's not the first time he's been to Sealand." The foreman surnamed Jia said with a slight back, "I helped him a few times again." At this time, if you want me to refuse him, I really can't say it, and the money he gave is okay, and the price is fair. "Except for the ones who hired someone for him to use, won't I be able to leave a lot of good?" "But you can't take all the cats and dogs to see him, and you can't do things. I'm not cutting off my own finances. "Although there are a lot of guests coming and going in the town, but it spreads by word of mouth, word of mouth and reputation have to be passed on by word of mouth, he said a few words that I don't really say, I am afraid that it will affect my next business opening."

Jia Lao Liu said in an unhurried tone.

I kept a distance of about a foot between the two of them. I could hear most of their conversations, and besides, they weren't telling anything secret, so there was no need to whisper.

I followed them in the direction of one of the busiest streets in town. I walked roughly in the morning, so I still understood.

I could hear what was going on in their conversation, and it seemed as if both men were contractors.

Looking at the clothes on their bodies, it is obvious that the day called Jia Lao Liu is going to mix well.

The content of the conversation between the two of them just now also proved that the foreman surnamed Jia was obviously more eyesighted than the other person.

I understood what the other party was saying, and a thought came to my mind, and I decided to continue to follow along, wanting to listen carefully.

The two walked along the street, and the conversation continued, when the contractor surnamed Lu asked Jia Laoliu: "Are you going to go to the pharmacy along the street to find the shopkeeper there?" ”

Jia Lao Liu lowered his voice slightly this time and said: "Didn't the shopkeepers of several pharmacies in the town have been invited away, where is the shopkeeper from at this time?" ”

The other person was taken aback and said: "You have also heard, I heard that the man is from the lake country, and he was injured in a fight with someone on the way here, and now the official government of the town has come forward, please leave the shopkeeper of a few pharmacies, and the better doctors have gone." ”

"Stay in the house west of town."

"Isn't that the house where the last one lived when he came to inspect?"

"Could it be that you are involved with that person?"

"Jia Lao Liu, your news is really fast enough, it's not too much to ask you to ask!"

"Where, the main reason is that the town is small, and the slightest wind and grass can't be hidden."

"Don't talk about that, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right." The foreman surnamed Lu said, "You go to the pharmacy, and the person in charge is not there, what can you do?" ”

"At this time, the pharmacy is in chaos, that is, taking advantage of the absence of the person in charge, I won't be able to come back for a while, I'll ask the apprentice in the pharmacy if he wants to come out and earn extra money."

"You also know, the life of these young apprentices is not a human life, they don't give money for a few years in the pharmacy, so they just take care of food and shelter."

"But what are you eating? Dried radish and pickle porridge, living in the compartment room on the other side of the warehouse, building a large shop, and looking at the medicinal herbs by the way. ”

"Five or six people are crammed together, and the days are very hard."

"If you want to study medicine, it's not all like that, what's so strange."

"However, what you said is very reasonable, they may be willing to come and work half a day to earn a little money."

"You finally understand what I mean, help me beat the side drum in a while, and say that I will mobilize a few people to help, and my errand will be completed."

"When the time comes, you will be paid for the money, and you will not be able to benefit from it."

"Okay, good," the foreman surnamed Lu agreed, and walked in the direction of the pharmacy after Jia Laoliu.

I had a rough idea of what was going on, except for the most vague and subtle part of their conversation.

After making up my mind, I hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Boss Jia, do you need manpower?" ”

Suddenly hearing my shout, the first two people in front of them turned around, they looked at me stunned for a while, and the contractor surnamed Lu spoke: "Who are you?" ”

Seeing their eyes looking me up and down, I smiled bitterly and said, "The two of you can see a little bit when you see my down-and-out appearance, I was originally a guy from a pharmacy in a small town in Huguo, and my brother went to Sealand and didn't come back for a few years." ”

"My family is worried about him, no, let me go to Sealand to find him."

"But on the way, I met a thief, and I stole all the entanglements I had, and now I am on the border, penniless, and I am worried."

"When I was walking on the street, I happened to overhear Boss Jia, you seem to be going to the pharmacy to find a guy to earn extra money, if it is this line, I am still a little sure that I can do it, I don't know if you are willing to help me?"

After finishing his words in a clear manner, the foreman surnamed Lu pushed Lao Jia and said, "This kid seems to have read some books and speaks in a crepe-like manner." ”

"Since he worked in the pharmacy, you have to hire someone anyway, so it is better to add him."

Jia Laoliu stood there silently, his eyes always fixed on my face.

Just when I thought this thing was going to be yellow, he suddenly said, "You're from Huguo, but your accent is wrong." ”

My heart tightened, and I remembered that this man must have seen countless merchants in the border of Zealand, and if he had stayed in such a bad environment for a long time, he would inevitably be a personal elf.

I suppressed my ups and downs, and said with a slight smile: "You are really good ears, I am indeed not born and raised in the land of the lake, speaking of which, my brother and I are from the country of flames, and we have been in the country of the lake for several years, but we have never been able to change the accent of our hometown."

I secretly said in my heart, I have never heard of the Flame Country having trade with this side, I said that such a distant place, could it be that he can still hear the flaws?!

Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Daduan beside him smiled and said: "Jia Lao Liu is good at this little effort, hey, I said little brother, it's not easy for you to travel thousands of miles." “

From the "kid" in his mouth to the "little brother", I immediately realized the change, and said a little shyly: "What shouldn't have been a lie just now, it should be explained directly." ”

"Sixth, sixth, you speak, you see this kid is very good, take him with you, anyway, you have to find someone from the pharmacy, there is not much more than him."

After a while, the man surnamed Jia said in a low voice, "You follow." ”

They walked ahead, and I followed them to a pharmacy on the street, but the two of them did not go through the main entrance, and bypassed the façade of the pharmacy to a narrow alley next to it.

After walking for a short distance, he saw a door, Jia Laoliu stepped forward and knocked, and after a while, someone came to open the door, smelling a faint smell of medicine, and looking at the clothes, it was obvious that it was a person from the pharmacy.

It turns out that this side is a side door, which is equivalent to the meaning of going through the back door!

Jia Lao Liu asked us all to wait where we were, and he followed the guy from the pharmacy into the door, and soon someone came out.

This time, it was not Jia Lao Liu himself, but a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he waved to me expressionlessly: "You come in with me." “
