After walking around the dock, his stomach was really hungry, Sun Dan couldn't hold back anymore, spent a penny to buy a steamed bun, sat on the stone steps of the dock, and gnawed on the river. Not to mention, the ancient river water was quite luscious because it was not polluted. There are also many women by the river who are washing rice and vegetables, and if they want to drink it, they will not get sick.

Suddenly, a large flock of ducks floated up the river, and there were as many as two or three thousand.

Thousands of ducks crossed the river, stirring up a puddle of muddy water, and the river that was clear just now immediately changed, and a layer of duck feathers floated on the water surface, undulating in the foam.

Sun Dan immediately lost his appetite, secretly screamed bad luck, and got up to leave. But I saw the middle-aged man who was chasing ducks leaning the boat on the dock, carrying a bamboo pole and shouting at the people on the dock: "I lack a duck herd here, who wants to do it?" Fifty wen a day. Go to Yanzhou and go back and forth for a month. ”

The number of fifty wen has a strong temptation for Sun Dan now, and he has done a lot of work in the countryside when he was a child. It's not bad to go to Yanzhou, you can get one or two or five thousand silver a month, save flowers, and you can eat for three or five months. Besides, after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he has never been out of Zouping, so it is natural to have such an opportunity to go out and open his eyes.

"I'll go, I'll go." Sun Dan naturally refused to let go of the opportunity, and did not wait for others to speak, and jumped onto the boat with an arrow step.

Because the action was bigger, the boat shook violently, almost shaking the duck boss off the boat.

Sun Dan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him: "Boss, be careful." ”

"Ahem, young man, you're so frizzy." Boss Duck stabilized his body and looked Sun Dan up and down, "Have you let go of ducks before?" ”

"Of course, I've been doing it for years. I said boss, what are you doing in Yanzhou? Sun Dan took the bamboo pole in his hand and put the duck neatly while supporting the boat.

"Sell ducks, someone in Yanzhou ordered my ducks and wanted to send them over." The boss explained that ducks are the most stingy, and if you go by land, you don't know how much you will die on the road, and you will have to lose fat. It is better to let it go down the river, and the duck will eat the fish and shrimp in the river while walking, and when it reaches the ground, not only will it not die, but it will grow a lot of meat. Originally, he had a duck herd under him. It's a pity that some time ago, the duck herd suffered from the wind chill and couldn't go. Yanzhou is urging again, and there is no choice but to go alone. The problem is that the boss is old and his hands and feet are not sharp, and he can't be busy alone, so he wants to recruit a short-term worker at the dock to cope with this errand and errand.

Boss: "Little brother, my business is important, you really know how to release ducks, don't let me go halfway." ”

"Don't worry, just let me go." Sun Dan smiled slightly, and made a "gurgling" sound in his mouth, quickly gathering the ducks scattered in the river.

"Hey, yes, it's a bit of a craft, I'll use you." The boss slapped his thigh: "My little brother is from the city, when can you go with me." Don't worry, your salary is indispensable, and I can give you half of it in advance. ”

"Yes, I live in the city, and there is no one else in the family. If the boss really wants to use me, he can leave immediately. Seeing that the boss hired him, Sun Dan breathed a long sigh of relief, but suddenly hesitated in his heart. If you go to Yanzhou, you will have to come and go for a month. A month later, the children's exam should begin, where do you still have time to study?

But such a good opportunity to make money, if you give it up, it's a pity.

To go, or not to go?

Just as he was hesitating, the duck boss couldn't help but pull the boat back to the dock, and jumped ashore in one step: "Little brother, help me watch the ducks, I'll go buy some dry food and come back." ”

"Hey, hey, wait...... etc......"

Looking at the back of Boss Duck, Sun Dan had a wry smile on his face.

Forget it, things have come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time. Besides, he hasn't figured out how to enter the Sun family to learn to study yet. When I come back from Yanzhou, it's a big deal to find another private school and register for it, and then take the exam. If anyone asks, they say that they have gone to study somewhere else.

After waiting for about half an hour on the boat, I was upset when I saw Boss Duck running back with his empty hands.

Sun Dan was a little strange: "Boss, aren't you going to buy dry food, why did you come back?" ”

The boss didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out his hand to drag Sun Dan down the boat: "I'm sorry little brother, you can't go with me, please find another job." I have a small place here, and I can't accommodate you, a great bodhisattva. ”

Sun Dan was puzzled in his heart, and laughed quietly: "Boss, you are not doing this authentically." I just said I was going to invite me, but now I regret it. It's contemptible. ”

The boss is probably also a lover, and when he heard Sun Dan's sarcasm, his face turned red, and he shook his head again and again: "Little brother, I can't stand you in this matter." I didn't expect you to be from the Hou family of Huichang...... This thing, this thing...... How dare I use the people of the Sun family. ”

Sun Dan is even more strange: "It's true that I am the Sun family, but what's wrong with the Sun family, the Sun family can't let go of ducks, and they can't make a living?" Boss, I think you are also a sincere person, you just tell me the truth, who did you meet just now, and what did you hear from someone, why don't you need me? ”

The boss was even more embarrassed, he glanced at a tea shop on the west side of the pier out of the corner of his eye, and stuttered, "No...... Didn't meet anyone. ”

Sun Dan's heart is as careful as a hair, how can the look of Boss Duck hide from his eyes. He followed the gaze of the duck boss and saw Sun Zhongzheng, the head of the Hou Sun family in Huichang, sitting behind the railing of the tea shop, looking straight over.

Sun Dan's heart brightened, and he sneered in a low voice: "It turns out that the boss just met Chief Officer Sun!" ”

Boss Duck lowered his head and muttered, "Little brother, I'm sorry for you." I can't afford to mess with the people of the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang, as long as Manager Sun says one word, don't think about doing this villain after making a living. The old man said that he would not let me invite you, you just lent me a great courage, and I will ...... I also. ”

"Don't say it, I understand." Sun Dan shook his head, "I don't blame you for this, I've caused you trouble, say goodbye." ”

"Little brother, little brother."

Sun Dan didn't want to talk to the boss of the duck anymore, and the moment he jumped off the boat, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. Not having to go to Yanzhou to delay that month may be a good thing for me, but why should Sun Zhong spoil his job? When he was in the Yamen before, this old man had a good attitude towards himself. Why did you change your face in a blink of an eye, no, you have to ask this matter clearly in person.

Others are afraid of his grandson, but my grandson is not afraid.

As soon as he found a job, he was unemployed by his words in a blink of an eye, and he did a bit too much.

Sun Dan is a good-tempered person, but being put on such a scene by someone can't help but be angry. No, you'll have to ask the old man about it in person.
