Ruixue didn't answer, and looked up to see Yuwa and Shanzi in her village sitting next to the board, so she started to serve two bowls of stew, fished two big bones in the pot, took four pieces of hair cake, and brought them to them together, and greeted, "Are you hungry, why don't you let Sister-in-law Zhang bring you food first?" ”

The two laughed, "We're not hungry yet." As he spoke, he was not slow in his hand, and he ate it in a big gulp, causing the plug to laugh on the side.

Rui Xue glared at him, took him to help, picked up all the remaining big bones in the pot, and brought them in to distribute them to a few injured people, which made everyone salivate, although there was not much meat on the bones, but the bone marrow could kill a person.

In a moment, a large pot of stew was eaten, and there was not even half of the soup left, and everyone was holding their round stomachs and half-leaning on the kang, and their fingers were too lazy to move, where was there still the slightest thought of drinking and scolding and fighting.

Bolt and Sister-in-law Zhang withdrew the dishes and chopsticks, and re-served the hot tea, Rui Xue sat at the table in the middle of the ground, took a sip of tea, and said, "It stands to reason that I am a woman and Taoist family, and I have no knowledge, so I shouldn't have said anything in this matter." However, it has been almost two months since the opening of the Riverside Residence, and I am often taken care of by the brothers on weekdays, so I am naturally grateful, and I can't bear to watch everyone make a grudge over a little thing, and those who come out and go in the future will not look good. So, just be cheeky and say a few words. ”

Ma Lao Liu hurriedly sat up straight and said, "The boss lady is polite, you are literate and hyphenated, and you are kind-hearted, and the brothers respect you in their hearts." ”

Xu Kuan also followed up and said, "Yes, Brother Ma is right, the brothers eat and drink for nothing at the eldest sister's place on weekdays, and we all remember this kindness." ”

Rui Xue waved her hand and smiled, "It's all from the villagers, and it's right to take care of each other more." Let's talk about today's incident, in my opinion, the two eldest brothers are wrong, and they are all right. ”

Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu glanced at each other, both a little confused, and asked out loud, "Why is it all wrong, and it's right?" ”

Rui Xue got up and added a cup of tea to each of them, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about your mistakes first, there are few cargo ships coming today, Brother Xu shouldn't take over all the work, they are all brothers who eat together, so why should they be humble to each other." Ten dollars per person is earned, and eight dollars per person is also earned, and no one can be rich and expensive if they have more than two dollars, but because of this, the friendship between brothers is ruined, and it is not worth it. Besides, Brother Ma, since Brother Xu has taken over all the work, you are angry in your heart, which is understandable, but you should not reduce the price and pry into the business, it will not benefit anyone to do so. The brothers did their best but did not get the corresponding hard-earned money, but let the little steward make a small fortune.

If that's all it takes, if this little steward and the steward of other cargo ships talk about it, and all the cargo ships learn this trick and provoke you to compete with each other and lower the price, then won't all the brothers have much less hard-earned money in the future. That's the biggest harm. ”

The more Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu listened, the more frightened they became, they just wanted to take a breath and lower the price of each other, the wages of the three ships were three hundred wen on weekdays, but they pressed it to two hundred, if it was really like what Rui Xue said, in the future, wouldn't all the brothers' hard-earned money be reduced by one-third?

At this moment, everyone also understood, their faces were a little bad, none of them were wealthy, and they all counted on this salary to marry a daughter-in-law or support their wives and children.

Rui Xue is actually exaggerating the facts, a small steward, it will not affect the entire dock, but if you don't let everyone know the seriousness of the matter, I am afraid it will be really bad if there are a few more such things competing with each other to reduce prices in the future.

"Then what to do, boss, give everyone an idea."

"Yes, yes, the proprietress is literate and hyphenated, there must be a way."

"We're not going to fight again."

Everyone spoke out one after another, begging Rui Xue to give him an idea, even Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu jumped off the kang, sat down on Rui Xue's left and right hands, hugged their fists and said, "Big sister, we were angry for a while, I didn't expect that the matter was so serious, if it really affected the brothers in the future, we would be too guilty." It's also annoying to work with the girls, and I'll find a way to make up for it for everyone. ”

Rui Xue smiled slightly, "This is about the one just now that there is nothing wrong, in fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing wrong with the two eldest brothers and all the brothers." Wrongly, there is too little work. In the past ten days, there were only seven or eight cargo ships every day, and today there are only three. The brothers have wives and children to support, and they are anxious to earn more money, so it is inevitable that there will be disputes. In fact, they are all righteous and enthusiastic in their hearts, and no one wants to hurt the brothers who get along every day. ”

This made everyone nod, isn't that it, they are all on the dock, drinking tea and gossiping together on weekdays, eating and working, and getting along very well, if it weren't for the lack of work, they were all anxious to make money to support their families, and no one would fight like this.

Especially the injured ones in the two parties, one of them had drunk in this store together because he gave birth to a son at home a few days ago, and now he was beaten like a black-eyed chicken, and he blushed with shame.

Ruixue saw that the heat was almost over, and said, "Don't worry too much, everyone don't have to worry too much, just unite in the future and don't let those stewards take advantage of the loopholes." Besides, now the work is only temporary, and it will soon enter the wax moon, who is not allowed to buy some New Year's goods, and the shops in the city will inevitably buy goods from the south, and the wharf will be lively again. In addition, it has only been a few months since the construction of our wharf, and there are still many businesses in nearby cities who do not know about this waterway, and the news will spread in the future, and it is bound to become more and more prosperous. You really don't have to worry about having no work, these days are free, you should rest for two days, in order to do more work in the future, earn more money, and take care of your physical strength first. ”

When everyone heard, it was really like this, when they were doing work on weekdays, they always heard those little stewards get off the boat and sighed, the waterway is much faster than the land route, and it is not bumpy, and after thinking about it, it will definitely be like the proprietress said, there are more and more boats, and of course the work is indispensable.

So, everyone unloaded the biggest worry in their hearts, and a smile appeared on their faces, Ma Laoliu and Xu Kuan also laughed, as long as there is work, everything else is easy to say, not to mention a few idle days, it is idle for a month, and it is okay to ensure that the remaining eleven months have inputs. The two also felt that they had done something wrong just now, raised the bowl, touched it, and didn't say any polite words to each other, and said, "I'll still be brothers in the future." Then, instead of tea, I drank it clean in one gulp, and everyone applauded, and the room was very lively, and there was no longer the cold face just now, and the old harmony was restored.

Originally, when things came to this, Rui Xue should have retired, but her eyes swept over the kang and under the kang, a hundred and ten strong men, and her heart suddenly moved, the TV series in her previous life had deduced a lot of stories about the river transport gang and the like, which was a big force in ancient times, and since she had come forward to judge them today, it was better to sell more favors and pull more backers for herself.

Thinking of this, she smiled and added tea to Ma Lao Liu and Xu Kuan, "Two big brothers, when I lived in the south before, I was fortunate to go to the dock over there once, and I saw a lot of things, and I thought it was novel and interesting, and there was no work outside the left and right, so it was better to tell the brothers about it." ”

Of course, Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu said well, if it weren't for Rui Xue's words just now, everyone would probably really suffer a big loss in the future, so Rui Xue has now risen to the height of a respected wise man in their hearts, not to mention that she said about the South Wharf, that is, the parents are short, and they are willing to listen to it.

"The wharf I saw in the south was about the same size as ours, and there were six or seven trestle bridges, but I saw that the people who did the hard work there were much richer than we were here, because they were sitting in the teahouse by the wharf and listening to the stories of the people, and they could spend a few pennies and ask for peanuts and other snacks. I was curious, so I pulled the little second brother of the teahouse and asked, only to know that the workers on the dock were led by a few authoritative people to set up a gang, but whenever there are merchants to stop the ship, need to recruit people to unload the goods, there are special people to negotiate the price, and then arrange for people to rotate to do the work, and at night, the gang will pay according to how much work everyone has done, so that everyone has a job, and even if there is less work today, tomorrow will be in front, and there will be more, which is very fair. So everyone is very harmonious and united. Those merchants did not dare to lower the price without authorization, and sometimes, if the goods on the ship were too heavy to handle, they would even add some extra wages. ”

"The people on this dock are really smart, and when they form a group, they are naturally not afraid of the merchants playing tricks." Ma Lao Liu applauded, and the people on the kang also echoed, with some envy on their faces, and secretly thought that it would be good if they worked on such a dock.

Only Xu Kuan lowered his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rui Xue continued, "Moreover, I heard the little second brother say that the gang will also collect two or three cents from the brothers who have been paid every day, and then accumulate these copper coins, if any brother has a big or small matter in the family and urgently needs money, with the consent of most of the brothers in the gang, you can borrow some silver, and then repay half of the wages every day, and it will be paid back in a few months." Therefore, the gang is very united, and even uses the silver to do some business, and everyone can share some silver every year, and naturally life is much more relaxed. ”

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and they were very yearning for their peers thousands of miles away to have such a good day.

Rui Xue glanced at Sister-in-law Zhang by the door, Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned, and then smiled, "Sister, there seems to be something wrong with the account bolt, come and take a look." ”

"Okay." Rui Xue stood up in response and said with a smile, "I heard so much that day, so I should tell everyone to listen to it and relieve my boredom." There was still work outside, so I was busy first, and everyone wanted to add tea, so I shouted. ”

Everyone hurriedly smiled and said, "The boss lady is busy, and the work that has contributed will also call us." ”
