Fuji Yantang glanced at the owner of the theater, and saw that the latter was groveling and pretending to be like his grandson, but in fact his eyes were shining, he shrugged his sword eyebrows, and then suddenly smiled,

From the perspective of interests, the owner of the theater chose to stand on Wang Tianhan's side at this time, which is really shrewd! After all, Yangcheng is the territory of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce and the backyard of their Wang family. If the owner of the theater doesn't want to close down, if he still wants to mix in Yangcheng, it's best not to offend Wang Tianhan at this time.

The owner of the theater also felt that the rumored Second Master Teng did not look as domineering as Wang Tianhan, and seemed to be very talkative, so he could try to bully him, and he felt that he didn't need to be afraid of Second Master Teng, after all, there were many people on Wang Tianhan's side.

Wang Tianhan has the "Seven Martial Seas" by his side, and compared with Fuji Yantang, who only brought one cook by his side, he has won in terms of the number of manpower from the beginning to the present.

And from the beginning to the present, Fujihiko has never looked at him at all.

This time, he invited Coriander to watch the big show, so Fujihiko Tang left the decision to Coriander, "What do you say?" ”

Just because of Fujihikodo's words, coriander has become the focus of attention. She glanced at it and found that everyone present was looking at her, especially the shoehorn-faced Wang Zhigang glaring at her viciously.

Coriander felt funny in her heart, this guy is really good and forgot the pain of the scar, shouldn't she kindly remind the other party of the shame of the shovel last time?

She blinked quickly a few times, then smashed her right fist into her left palm - this was not a gesture, she put on a sudden memory of something, and said to Fujihikodo: "I suddenly remembered, I still have something to do, so I will go first!" ”

After speaking, she smeared oil on the soles of her feet, slipped away, and left Fuji Yantang alone to face Wang Tianhan's attack, which was simply ruthless and unjust!

Fujihikodo's laughing and crying expression made the face full of oil paint even more funny. This girl is so unrighteous!

Leaving the opera garden, Coriander stopped a rickshaw. Go to Pier 13.

There had been no news of Coriander in a few days, and she had to go to the docks to see what the Coriander was like.

Pier 13 is a cargo wharf, the scale of which is one of the largest in the whole Shanghai market, and its management system is also quite strict - idlers and other people are not allowed to trespass on the wharf. It's the most basic rule here. Even people who come to pick up the goods with a manifest are not allowed to enter the dock. The insurance confidentiality work at Pier 13 seems to be in place, and the internal dock workers are not allowed to dismantle the goods shipped ashore.

The goods unloaded from the cargo ship are first concentrated on the dock or in the warehouse, and do not go directly to the buyer or seller. The buyer and seller must come to the transit station in front of the dock with the manifest. After completing some complicated formalities, it is possible to mention that the goods that need to be delivered to them by the dock workers.

Pier 13 is perennially short of manpower – the dock is so large that dock workers have to walk long distances to complete a task with heavy loads. With the same amount of time and effort, a docker can complete several jobs on a small dock. This line of work is more work and more rewards, but the wage of a dock worker at Pier 13 to complete a single order is the same as that of other dock workers. Most people think, why bother with Pier 13 when you can make more money elsewhere?

There is a small tea shed on the side of the entrance of Pier 13, and the most conspicuous thing in the shed is the table and chair, on which are placed pen and ink and a thick account book. The dock worker who had come out of the dock to carry the goods came to the shed and took out the wooden waist tag with his name engraved on it for the bookkeeper to see. The bookkeeper would draw a line on the page with his name written on it. This one is worth two copper dollars.

Coriander discovered the role of this tea shed. So he squatted around here, thinking that he would definitely meet coriander here.

After a while, she saw an interesting scene.

The man in charge of bookkeeping pouted the spout of the purple sand teapot and talked to the person next to him, obviously not doing his job. At this moment, several workers came out of the dock, and he also looked at the signs of several people, and said impatiently that he would make a note for them, but Coriander didn't see him mention the pen a few times!

With his irresponsible attitude, how much wages did the dock workers lose. It's clear that you're cheating people!

Coriander suspects that the person did it on purpose.

Not only that-

There was a cart carrying twenty or thirty boxes of goods, one person pulling in front of the cart and one person pushing behind the cart. The two of them went to the teahouse and showed their signs, but the bookkeeper said that he could only credit the wages of this trip to one person's name.

The two docks weighed it and finally reached a consensus. Whoever receives the money for this trip will receive the money for the next trip.

As soon as the two men were gone, the man who kept the account smirked contemptuously at their backs. As soon as he withdrew his gaze, there was an additional sign in front of him. He glanced at it lightly, then put down the pen in his hand. He picked up the teapot very comfortably, and said to the man without raising his head: "Okay, I remember your name, let's go." ”

The dock worker stubbornly refused to take back the sign, as if he knew that the bookkeeper was very watery, and he had the intention of stumbling to the end with the other party.

The bookkeeper was annoyed when he noticed that the dock worker was stubborn and refused to leave. He probably thought of something, so he couldn't bear it, put down the teapot heavily, picked up the pen again, turned to the page where the dock worker was registered, and wrote another one under the word "zheng" in two lines, looking very reluctant.

Pier 13 was already short of manpower, and if he squeezed too much and forced the dock workers to leave, then he would not be comfortable in this position for long.

The dockman carried a wooden box large enough to hold two large living people to the transit station, and as soon as he turned around, he was met with the hateful stare of the bookkeeper behind him.

This docker is a coriander who is as industrious as a little bee.

After many days, the coriander seems to have grown taller, her complexion is healthier, and her body is much stronger.

Coriander wanted to make a surprise attack from behind, but he was afraid that when the time came, he would only be surprised but not happy, so what should he do if he flashed his waist?

She went straight to the coriander and called out happily, "Brother-"

Seeing his sister, Coriander was surprised and happy, happy and happy, he was still very distressed that Coriander had run so far away, "How did you come here when you ran so far?" ”

"I came here in a car." Coriander reached out and patted the wooden box that Coriander was carrying on her shoulder. Listening to the sound of the real thing, you know that this box must be sinking.

Coriander straightened her face and taught her, "This car ride back and forth must cost a lot of money." You don't know how to save a little! ”

"I can't come to see you!" Coriander pouted and said with a slight annoyance.

Coriander smiled. "Then you wait here for me for a while, I'll send the goods to others, and then take you around here."

For the next half a day, he regarded himself as a holiday.

Coriander carried the wooden box and turned to the transfer station, just in time for Coriander to see the seal on the back of the box.

Coriander sees. The seal is written in English with the words "Handle with care" and other words.

Seeing Coriander go to the crowded transit station, in a blink of an eye, Parsley saw several people coming out of the dock from a distance.

Seeing the faces of those people clearly, Cilantro felt a panic inexplicably, and she plunged into the crowd, drowning her figure in the crowd.

Those people are familiar faces, one of them is Jiang Fatzi, and the other is Lu Yiming. The two people on Lu Yiming's side were also instructors of the Lanpu Military Academy, and one of them was carrying a suitcase in his hand. They weren't obviously here to do a good job, but Cilantro was sure that the boxes they had in their hands must be full of good things.

Coriander saw Lu Yiming kick Jiang Fatman, and the kicked Jiang Fatman got up from the ground and continued to flatter Lu Yiming.

Coriander faintly heard what Jiang Fatzi promised to Lu Yiming-

"I must - I will definitely send that woman to your bed Master Lu!"

Lu Yiming smiled coldly. After saying a few more words to Jiang Fatzi, he swaggered away with his people.

It wasn't until Lu Yiming and the others disappeared that Coriander dared to come out of the crowd, and he saw Jiang Fatzi swearing at the entrance of the dock in the direction where Lu Yiming and they left.

Not far away, Lu Yiming, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked back at the crowd, as if he was looking for something.

The person behind him asked blankly, "Master Lu, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Yiming's brows were deeply locked, and there seemed to be doubt in his expression. For a moment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a rather familiar figure.

He thought about it for a moment. Soon, he put aside the doubts in his heart and classified the moment just now as an illusion.

"Nothing."

After the coriander came out of the transit station, she didn't see the coriander waiting for her in the original place for a while, so she looked around. He expected that Cilantro would not leave without saying hello to him.

"Parsley. Coriander-"

He shouted the name of the coriander.

These few sounds completely exposed the coriander to Lu Yiming, who had not gone far.

Lu Yiming turned around suddenly, just in time to see the coriander coming out of the crowd to join the coriander. He was shocked, he just thought that the familiar figure he had just glimpsed was coriander, and it was really not his delusion. It's just that for a moment, I didn't think of the reason why Coriander came to Pier 13, so I naturally denied the initial idea.

Lu Yiming watched as Coriander and Coriander left the dock side by side, talking and laughing. I wasn't sure if Cilantro had noticed him just now. He was more curious about what kind of relationship Cilantro had with the young lad.

"Xiao Duan, you go and inquire about that person's identity." Lu Yiming gestured with his eyes to one of his subordinates.

Xiao Duan looked embarrassed, "How can I inquire about this?" ”

Lu Yiming stared at the direction where the coriander and coriander left, "I just saw a sign on that person's waist, he should be a worker on the dock, you go and ask." ”

Xiao Duan's face relaxed, handed the box in his hand to another person, and ran back to the dock.

Soon, he ran back and reported to Lu Yiming, "I heard it, that person's name is Yuan Tuo, and he came to Shanghai to work from another place." ”

"Yuan To" Lu Yiming repeated, why did he think something was weird?

Seeing that he was puzzled, Xiao Duan patted his chest and packed the ticket, "It's not wrong, it was the bookkeeper who told me personally." ”

Lu Yiming slowly put away his suspicions.

Xiao Duan said again: "Master Lu, do you want me to follow and see what they have done." ”

Lu Yiming thought for a while, "Forget it." ”

There's no need to waste resources on people who don't matter

Coriander brought the coriander to a food stall near the pier, saying that the wonton noodles here were cheap, filling and thirst-quenching.

After tasting the coriander, I felt that it was just like that, and I felt that what was in front of me was a big bowl of somen in clear soup.

It is estimated that the coriander is too hard every day, and after finishing the work, I feel that everything is fragrant when I come to a bowl.

In fact, Coriander didn't want Coriander to do such a hard and tiring job, if she hadn't come here, she wouldn't have known that this line of work was so dark and the water was so deep!

Coriander couldn't help but say to the coriander who was eating Ma Ma Xiang: "Brother, I think it's very tiring to do this, why don't we change places and find an easier job?" ”

Who says coriander doesn't want to? came out to mix, only to know that this world is so ruthless. He sighed and said, "Where is the job so easy to find now?" Your brother and I have no education, so we can only do this kind of hard work. ”

As he spoke, Coriander put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the wooden waist tag hanging on his waist in his hand, and carefully rubbed the paint pieces that fell off the waist tag back into place with a sweat towel.

He couldn't bear to complain to the coriander. This wooden card can't be lost, if you can't find it back, you have to spend money to buy it again. The name of each docker is written in yellow paint, and the paint on it can easily fall off when it touches sweat, rain, and seawater. Therefore, such a sign will be collected and maintained every week before it is distributed to each dock worker. It also costs money to do a maintenance of the wooden sign

Cilantro, who didn't know the truth, disagreed, "Didn't I teach you a lot of words before?" I don't think the bookkeeper knows as many words as you know. ”

Coriander lowered her head and smiled bitterly. He restrained the unknown emotions flashing in his eyes, raised his head suddenly, and said in a brisk voice: "Don't talk about me, tell me, how are you doing in that school?" ”

"What do you mean by being a mess?" Well, Coriander admits that she was really messing around at the Lanpu Military Academy. But if she had stayed in the past, she would not have heard the word "mixed" from the mouth of coriander. Her brother must have been brought to bad by someone. "You don't have to worry about me, you see I know—" She was much more moisturized than coriander now, and she was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she decided to give some advice to Coriander: "Brother, if you have to work at the docks, I won't stop you." But you don't have to work too hard, just pick up the light when you move the goods."

Coriander listened stupidly as the parsley chattered in front of him. (To be continued.) )
