The nurse walked over and said respectfully: "Back to the boss, as far as I know, there should be only one person who is the most powerful groom in this hundred miles, and his name is Zhu Cheng." ”

"Oh? How can you be sure that he is the best? Gu Xiaoyou was skeptical of the words of the nursing home.

"To tell you the truth, Zhu Cheng and I came from the same place, he has been close to horses since he was a child, and his skills in horse riding and driving are first-class." The nurse said sincerely, looking at Gu Xiaoyou calmly.

Gu Xiaoyou saw that what the nursing home said was reasonable, and finally believed his words.

"Well, I believe you, so do you know where I can find him?"

"Zhu Cheng should be near the county gate, he waits there every day."

"Alright, I'll go find him." Gu Xiaoyou immediately set off and walked in the direction of the county gate.

There was a tea shed outside the county gate, and as soon as Gu Xiaoyou entered, he shouted: "Which of you is Zhu Cheng." ”

The people in the tea shed looked at each other, and the owner of the tea shed stretched out his hand and pointed at a tall man with a sturdy figure and a ruddy face.

Gu Xiaoyou immediately stepped forward and asked politely, "Hello, are you Zhu Cheng?" ”

The tall man took a slow sip of tea: "I am, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"I heard that you are the most powerful horseman in Qingcheng County, and I want to hire you to do things."

Zhu Cheng put down the tea bowl and said, "I don't dare to say the most powerful, but I am the fastest and most stable to drive, let's say, what do you want to hire me for?" ”

When Gu Xiaoyou was talking, he carefully observed his hands, and noticed that there were thick calluses on his finger joints, palms and tiger mouths, and he knew that he must be very experienced in driving.

"That's right, I want to hire you to send a batch of paper to the capital, my requirements are very simple, that is, the speed must be fast, and to ensure that the goods can be delivered safely, can you do it?" Gu Xiaoyou went straight to the point and quickly explained the meaning.

"No problem, as long as there are good horses and good cars, I will definitely be able to deliver them, and it will be faster than ordinary carriages for a day or two." Zhu Cheng said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll equip you with the best horse and the best cart." Gu Xiaoyou said heroically and took Zhu Cheng to the market to pick a horse and buy a car.

The two of them spent an afternoon picking out two more horses and a cart carrying goods.

Although Gu Xiaoyou didn't understand horses, he knew that they were two very good horses by looking at the appearance of the two horses.

She was a little satisfied with Zhu Cheng in her heart, and agreed with Zhu Cheng to meet at the Youlian Paper Shop in four days.

Zhu Cheng took the horse and the truck back to cultivate the relationship, and Gu Xiaoyou returned to the workshop and worked overtime with the workers.

Time passed in a hurry, and four days passed in the blink of an eye.

According to the agreement, Zhu Cheng drove the carriage to the Youlian paper shop.

As soon as Gu Xiaoyou opened the door of the store, he saw Zhu Cheng, and said in a good mood: "You are here, you are very punctual." ”

"Well, I'm the most honest person."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded with a smile, looked at the truck a few times, and found that the truck was well preserved by Zhu Cheng, and he was even more satisfied.

"Then let's load the car."

Gu Xiaoyou took Zhu Cheng into the door, introduced Zhu Cheng to Zhou, and several people loaded all the toilet paper into the truck together.

Zhou carefully spread a layer of clothes on the toilet paper, and Gu Xiaoyou said funny: "Sister Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

"I think in case it rains, the clothes will be able to hold out the rain somewhat." Zhou explained while shopping.

"Oh, no, the roof of the truck is coated with tung oil, and I am not afraid of any amount of water."

"It's better to be cautious." Zhou covered all the toilet paper with his coat before getting off the truck.

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head helplessly, it seemed that the stimulation of the previous flooding was too great.

Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou checked the quantity again, Gu Xiaoyou took out a money bag and handed it to Zhu Cheng along with the guest's address.

"Here's the address, and your food on the way."

Zhu Cheng took the money bag, opened it and saw that there were at least five hundred texts, and immediately put it in Xiaoyou's hand.

"It's too much, I can't take it, you can just prepare some dry food for me."

"You take it, if you encounter anything on the way, you can solve it." Gu Xiaoyou said undoubtedly, and stuffed the money bag back into Zhu Cheng's hand.

Zhu Cheng held the money bag and said with a firm gaze: "Other employers will pay for the carriage and horses, you not only got me a good horse and a good car, but also gave me food expenses, you can rest assured, I will definitely work hard." ”

"Do things for me, the treatment is very good, you do it well, and there will be a reward when you come back."

"Okay, I'll go." Zhu Cheng showed a hearty smile.

He put the money bag away, carefully wrote down the address, planned the route in his heart, and raised his horsewhip lightly: "Drive!" ”

The two horses raised their front hooves slightly, rubbed them on the ground, and ran merrily......

Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou stood at the door and watched the carriage run away.

"I don't know when I'll be back." Zhou muttered softly, this is the first time that a paper shop has sent goods so far, and she is a little apprehensive.

Gu Xiaoyou estimated the time: "Generally, it takes half a month for a carriage to go back and forth to the capital, but Zhu Cheng said that he is one or two days faster than others, that is, about thirteen days......"

"Thirteen days is very fast."

"yes, don't think about it, let's go back, I'll guide your smile again."

"Mmmmmm......mmmmmm

"I'll look at ......"

Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou entered the door with a smile and put aside the matter of transporting toilet paper for the time being......

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou walked to the door of the paper shop, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

After a while, two horses ran over with a truck, accompanied by a loud "hoo", and stopped steadily at the door of the paper shop.

Gu Xiaoyou fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhu Cheng who was driving.

"Why did you come back so soon, I thought it would take three days." Gu Xiaoyou said in surprise.

"Just to transport the paper, I picked a shortcut, so it was a few days faster."

Zhu Cheng said lightly, jumped over, and got off the carriage easily.

"This is the final payment, as well as the food expenses, I haven't used it up, you can order it."

Zhu Cheng took out the money bag from his inner arms and handed it to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou opened the money bag and saw that the five taels of silver spent in white flowers were lying inside, and there were copper coins that had not changed much.

She took out the silver and handed it to Zhou, tied up the money bag, and threw it back into Zhu Cheng's hand.

"There is no reason to ask for your food money back." Gu Xiaoyou smiled heartily: "Let's go, I'll take you to a big meal, and by the way, I'll pay you the salary." ”

"How can this work, it is eating and taking."

"I'm in a good mood, you completed the task ahead of schedule, you're welcome, let's go."

Gu Xiaoyou pulled Zhu Cheng's sleeve without refusing, Zhu Cheng couldn't refuse again, and pulled back his sleeve: "Then I'll park the carriage in the backyard and go with you." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the door."

As soon as Zhu Cheng drove the carriage away, Zhou pulled Gu Xiaoyou, carefully whispered in her ear: "Xiaoyou, it's not appropriate for you to go to dinner with him alone." ”
