430. in the first place
After Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi walked into the warehouse in Kensas, they quietly observed, Ling Yunpeng graduated from a church school, and his English was of course good, so the names of the goods written on the sacks and wooden boxes were clear to him, and he saw that there were many materials related to people's livelihood piled up in the warehouse, including rice, flour, tea, salt, sugar, wine, canned food, various medicines, medical equipment, cotton, cloth, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, wood and some chemical raw materials, Almost covers seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea. Ling Yunpeng paid special attention to the location of each warehouse, especially near the northwest corner, because it was the closest to the wood processing factory, and he swept it with his eyes, which were the medicine warehouse and the grain warehouse.
Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi immediately exited the Kensas warehouse, and on the way back to the docks, Ling Yunpeng took the opportunity to talk to a young man in his early thirties who looked like he had been hanging out at the docks for many years.
"Master, I think you seem to have been working here for quite a long time, right?"
"yes, I've been on the docks for five or six years."
"It's hard work."
"That's natural, but whoever has some way, has ink in his stomach, or knows how to do the craft, who will do this, he has to carry several tons of things on his shoulders every day, his waist is bent, and his back is hunched. There is no way, people like us who don't know a single word, and who are clumsy and don't know how to do their craft, can only rely on physical strength to eat, otherwise they can only drink the northwest wind. While I am young and have the strength, I can still have something to eat, but when I am older, I can't carry it, and I don't know where I am living! Ling Yunpeng's words seemed to open his chatterbox, telling Ling Yunpeng his sadness.
"Hey, master, have you carried all the goods in the warehouse here?"
"Of course, I have a clear door to every warehouse here, let me tell you, the biggest one here is the warehouse of the two Japanese, which is full of guns, cannons, explosives, these things are prepared for those Japanese soldiers, we are the most nervous when we move the goods of these two warehouses, I am afraid that if something goes wrong, my life will be gone, and those Japanese soldiers are very fierce, if you put their goods in the wrong place, or a little careless, put them on the ground a little heavier, he will rush over, scold you for being light, and it will be a slap in the face, Or hit you with the butt of a gun, once a worker accidentally smashed the Japanese cargo box, and the bullets inside rolled out, and the person was picked to death by the Japanese soldiers with bayonets, I saw with my own eyes, don't lie to you, those Japanese are really inhumane, never treat us coolies as human beings. “
"What about the other warehouses? Other warehouses can't be guns or something, right? “
"The goods of other foreign companies are basically food, daily necessities, let me tell you, the Kensas warehouse in the United States has the most food, so that warehouse also has the most rats; And the sunset warehouse in England is full of wires, hardware parts, machinery and equipment; The Seine warehouse of the French was full of wine, perfumes, alabaster and the like, and the whole warehouse was fragrant; The one called Siberia is the warehouse of the Russians, and it is full of old wine, what is it called...... Vodka, coal, wood, leather goods. I got acquainted with the foremen here, and sometimes I was curious, so I asked them, and they would tell you quietly, but none of these things belonged to me, and we carried these delicious foods into the warehouse every day, and we could only eat pickles and pickled rice. “
Ling Yunpeng kept all this information in his mind.
It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the wharf, and the foreman began to settle the day's wages, and Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi both took fifty copper plates.
After working for most of the day, Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi's shoulders were worn out, and their backs ached, they came to the Suzhou Creek, greeted Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui, and then the four of them returned to the clinic together.
After returning to the clinic, Yang Jingcheng told him that Zhao Jinwen asked him to go once, and Ling Yunpeng guessed that the municipal pipeline structure diagram was done, so he quickly changed his clothes, took the car keys, and drove to Zhao Jinwen's place.
Sure enough, Zhao Jinwen handed him the remade photos of the distribution map of the pipelines along the Suzhou Creek.
"Okay, the money you want, the picture, I've got it done, and the people are waiting for you to arrange it, and they will be on call." Zhao Jinwen said and patted Ling Yunpeng on the shoulder.
"Ouch." Zhao Jinwen's hand happened to slap the broken skin on Ling Yunpeng's shoulder, and Ling Yunpeng couldn't help but snort in pain.
"What's wrong, Yunpeng?" Zhao Jinwen's expression became nervous.
Ling Yunpeng smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit of skin." “
"Show me." Zhao Jinwen pressed Ling Yunpeng to the seat.
"It's okay, it's really just a little bit of skin." Ling Yunpeng couldn't resist Zhao Jinwen, so he had to unbutton his shirt.
Zhao Jinwen saw that the skin on Ling Yunpeng's shoulders was about to be worn out, red and swollen, and his back was also red.
"How did this happen?" Zhao Jinwen blamed distressedly, took out a medicine box, took out a bottle of iodine wine from it, and dipped a cotton swab in iodine wine to give Ling Yunpeng medicine: "You were fine when you came in the morning, why did you go in the afternoon?" “
The iodine wine touched the skin lesion, and there was a burst of pain, which made Ling Yunpeng grin: "Didn't I want to know the situation in the warehouse, so today I went to the dock with Qin Shouyi to carry a big bag." “
"You, I really don't know how sorry you are." Zhao Jinwen said angrily: "Don't fight too hard." “
"It's okay, this skin trauma will be fine in a day or two. Teacher, you inform Qi Heng and ask him to send six people to pull six rickshaws to meet at the Zhenye Timber Processing Factory along the Suzhou Creek at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will explain the specific matters to them. “
"Okay, I'll call Qi Heng later."
"Then teacher, I'll go first." Ling Yunpeng stood up, twisted his clothes, and walked downstairs with the bag containing the drawings and photos.
"Be careful, stay safe!" Zhao Jinwen looked at Ling Yunpeng's back and said a word in the back.
After returning to Ward 1, Ling Yunpeng took out the photos of the pipes, and then drew sketches on a blank piece of paper based on the distance and location of the warehouses he had observed.
After drawing the sketch, Ling Yunpeng called the other people into the house.
"Come, let me tell you more about it." Ling Yunpeng took a pen, and then compared the sketch to explain the excavation of the tunnel to these buddies of his.
"Look, this is the Zhenye wood processing plant I just bought, there is an office in this processing plant, I plan to excavate there, from here all the way to dig more than 50 meters, to the Kensas warehouse, which is an American warehouse, the materials in it are very rich, it can be said that there are all kinds of things, this is our target warehouse."
"That's great, going to this warehouse means we've dug up a cornucopia." Ah Hui couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his face showed the joy of making a fortune.
"Don't interject, listen to the boss continue." Qin Shouyi stabbed Ah Hui.
"There will be three pipes about a meter below the ground, which are water pipes, sewage pipes and gas pipes."
"Huh? And the gas pipes here? Fu Xinghan asked curiously.
"Yes, there are warehouses for foreign companies in the vicinity, and some companies have set up living quarters near the warehouses, so there is already gas in the vicinity. I went to see it, and there was a brick house behind this processing plant, which was used to house workers, and there was a gas stove inside, and the boss Zhou also taught me how to use the gas stove. “
"That's good, it's easier to boil water and cook food there." Fu Xinghan nodded: "Then are we going to live there all the time?" “
"Naturally, we settled in a wood processing factory during this period. However, it will be more crowded because in addition to the four of us, I also asked for six members of the Shanghai team as our foreign support. “
"Do you need that many people?" Fu Xinghan is worried that if there are more people, the money will be less.
