With the full intervention of the city guards, the war between the two ghost gangs finally stopped. It is said that in order to suppress the Skeletron who lost control of his emotions due to his anger, even the deputy city lord Wu Fang, who was in charge of the city's defense, was forced to take action himself before he was driven back to the lair of Skull Mountain.

On the left side of the city, after the curfew ended, all the living people who lived inside dared to hesitantly come out of the shop. When I went down the street, I saw that there were many shops from 7th and 10th streets that had been damaged to varying degrees. Seventh and Eighth Streets, in particular, are a mess. For this reason, Zuoshi also had to close the market for a day to clean up the mess.

A teahouse next door was even worse than the Longevity Hotel, with the entire store almost ruined and some people crushed by the collapsed roof. Wei Dahu and I had to take great risks last night to run to save people, digging for a night to pick up three wounded people and a corpse from the rubble.

Although the dormitory area in the Longevity Hotel is still in good condition, the collapse of the front building makes it impossible to continue business. As a result, the Teng family temporarily sent all the living employees to Shangcheng for resettlement, while the ghost guys were all transferred to the Fulong Inn on Tenth Street in Zuoshi to make other arrangements. Although it was closer to the hive of the ground honeycomb, it survived the great war.

For the next few days, our gang could only stay in the temporary dormitory of the Tengjia trading house in Shangcheng and wait for news. I stayed here for one night when I first came down to Yin City, and I couldn't imagine that I would revisit the same place again a year later, and I also felt a little at a loss, I didn't know what the future holds.

During this period, Cao Zhe also lived in the dormitory of the city guards in Shangcheng, so he took the time to visit and comfort me. He revealed to me privately: This time the incident was so big that even several high-level officials in Zuoqiu City were alarmed!

According to the statistics of the Yin Affairs Division, the losses in Zuoshi that night were quite heavy, a total of nine houses collapsed, and more than a dozen people were injured. The most terrible thing is that two of them were killed in this "ghost disaster". This also gave Wu Fang a good reason to sue Leng Yuankui in front of the city lord.

In the end, under Leng Yuankui's rule, the Ghost Affairs Division was forced to order a complete truce between the two ghost gangs of Skull Mountain and Earth Honeycomb, and jointly funded to compensate for all the losses of the destroyed shops in Zuo City. This includes the cost of rebuilding and repairing the house, the business income during the closure and the pension of the deceased. Only then did they barely calm the anger of the major families, and they did not ask for more severe punishments.

Subsequently, Teng Shuli also summoned all employees to confirm the news. However, the loss of the hotel was fully compensated by the two ghost gangs, but it will take a long time to close down and rebuild. Because of the inconvenience of logistics, the shortage of building materials, and the shortage of construction workers in Yincheng, it is not so easy to rebuild a building!

"It may take about a year!" Teng Shuli estimated us. Several principals of the Teng family should have discussed this internally and began to work on the reconstruction.

In fact, the most helpless person among them is Teng Shuli. The Longevity Hotel has always been very profitable under his control, and it is also a major economic pillar of the Teng family in Zuoqiu City. With this closure, he could only become a contractor and be responsible for presiding over the reconstruction.

However, the guys in the shop don't know how to build a house, so what should they do during the shutdown? We all signed a contract with the Teng family, and it is impossible for the Teng family to support us idlers who don't work and receive salaries, right?

So, Wei Dahu asked Teng Shuli on behalf of the employees: "Shopkeeper, what should we do?" Do you want to cancel your contract or open another branch? ”

"It's a diversion!" Teng Shuli replied.

"Triage?"

Everyone was stunned, what does this mean?

"Diversion!" Teng Shuli confirmed, "There is currently no suitable store in Zuoqiu City to reopen a restaurant, and we have no plans to open a chain store in other Yin City for the time being, let alone terminate the contract with you in advance!" The personnel here will be temporarily reassigned until the Changshou Hotel is rebuilt, and then return to work! ”

"How?" This time it was Yu Lazi who asked the question, "I can only stir-fry, and if I want to go, I can only go to Fushou Noodle Restaurant or Fu'an Restaurant." ”

The Teng family also operates two other restaurants in Zuoqiu City, namely Fushou Noodle Restaurant and Fu'an Restaurant, but the scale and façade are relatively small, far less than the Longevity Hotel.

"Hmmm! I'm going to put you in Fu'an Restaurant, and Bing Chang will go to Fushou Noodle Restaurant. Two of the remaining three chefs can go to the Fulong Inn, one to be determined. Teng Shuli said to Yu Lazi.

"What do you mean to be determined?" This time it was my turn to ask, after all, it was my own business.

Teng Shuli said: "Fushou Noodle Restaurant and Fu'an Restaurant are not short of manpower, and they can't accommodate so many employees of Changshou Hotel to go together, so half of the manpower has to be temporarily diverted to Fulong Inn and caravan." It's not just the chef, it's the other guys as well, and I'm calling you here today to discuss this. Each of you says which side you want to go? ”

"I'd definitely like to go to Fulong Inn!" Another chef standing next to me shouted first. He is from Yanagimon, a white and pure person, so naturally he doesn't want to go to any caravan and run around.

"I want to go to Fulong Inn too!"

"Surely everyone wants to go over there! Me too! ”

"I have to walk every day to go to the caravan, I have bad legs and feet, and I can't walk far!"

"You have bad legs? Is it bad to have me? Tian Laolu also came to join in the fun, and asked: "I'm over ninety years old, you young people don't go to the caravan, do you want me to go, a bad old man?" ”

"Lao Tian." Teng Shuli said to him: "I also told my eldest brother, you are old, and you have served the Teng family for more than forty years. If you want to retire in the sun, we can arrange for you to retire! ”

"Retirement? What to retire! Tian Laolu didn't appreciate it, but shouted loudly: "I know you dislike me for being old, but the contract I signed with you last time still has six years to end!" Don't make excuses to drive me away early. I'm not going! ”

Looking at Tian Laolu's angry appearance, everyone was silent. Tian Laolu has no children and no daughters, and he is old, so he doesn't even have anyone close to him in the yang world, and he has already made up his mind that he will die in Zuoqiu City if he dies. At this time, it is actually a very "cruel" thing to drive him back to the yang world to retire.

Teng Shuli really couldn't do anything about him, so he had to agree: "Don't worry, Lao Tian." If you really don't want to leave, I will temporarily arrange for you to stay in the warehouse of the trading house in Shangcheng, keep accounts every day, and count the goods! ”

"I can do this job! No problem! Tian Laolu was finally satisfied.

"What about the others, did they volunteer to go to the caravan? Especially a few of you nursing homes, you can consider becoming a dart master! Teng Shuli turned his gaze to Wei Dahu and the others.

Wei Dahu shook his head violently: "I still want to call home on time and every month, where can I find a phone line to call when I leave Zuoqiu City?" ”

The other three guards were also shaking their heads, obviously joining the caravan meant that they had to travel back and forth between the major Yin Cities frequently, and there were always times when they encountered ghost bandits or other unknown dangers. These people in the Longevity Hotel are already used to staying in Zuoqiu City, and they are not willing to take risks easily.

I really considered this option. I had plans to change careers, I didn't want to be a chef anymore, I wanted to work in a nursing home. But now that the Longevity Hotel has fallen, even the nursing home has no work. Is the nature of a dart master similar to that of a nursing home? Or is it a little more exciting?

I've been looking forward to walking more in the underworld, to see what to see, and to gain some knowledge. Working as a dart master in a caravan will grant you such a wish in no time. Therefore, this diversion may not be a rare opportunity for me!

So I asked Uncle Teng: "Shopkeeper, do I need to sign a new contract when I go to the caravan to be a dart master?" ”

"That's nature, do you want to go?" Teng Shuli's eyes lit up, and someone finally stood up.

"Well, I learned martial arts with Big Tiger for a year, it should be okay!"

"Xiao Zhai can do it! Not much worse than me! Wei Dahu also hurriedly helped.

Teng Shuli nodded and agreed: "Xiao Zhai's martial arts and cultivation are no problem, and I also think this is no problem." ”

"Then, what is the monthly salary of a caravan dart master?" This is one of the issues that I am more concerned about.

"Definitely higher than being a chef!" Teng Shuli smiled, "As far as I know, the monthly salary of a junior dart master is one hundred and fifty yin yuan, and every time a task is completed, an additional commission will be issued according to the profit from this transaction. Well, I estimate that earning two or three thousand yin yuan a year is no problem! ”

"That's at least double my current salary?" I was completely moved.

"It's just more than that, not less!" Teng Shuli assured.

"Well, I'm willing to go to the caravan!"

In fact, in addition to being a dart master with a higher salary and being able to see the world, I also have another small ninety-nine in my heart. After joining the caravan, I can collect some rare Yin food ingredients in the Yin City in the field, such as flame mushrooms and ginseng. Zuoqiu City is too expensive because of the long-distance freight problem of the purchase, if you can buy it directly from the production area, you will definitely save a lot of money!

In the end, I was the only one who volunteered to go to the caravan. After asking many times, Teng Shuli had no choice but to organize the rest of the people to draw lots. One of the cooks and one of the nurses was not very lucky, and they were also selected to go to the Teng family's caravan, so they could only shake their heads and lament.

The next day, sure enough, someone came to pick up the employees of the Longevity Hotel who had been shunted to various places. The one who took me and the other two unlucky people was Teng Boli, who was both the head of the Teng family in Zuoqiu City and the head of the Teng family's trading house.

However, when the three of us arrived at the trading house, we were immediately assigned to different caravanserais. Once again, I had to face a new job, a new colleague and a new environment, like a student from out of town who was transferring from out of school, curious and confused.
