Chapter 764: Intentions
Under the negotiation of Jia Deafson, he received two sets of bedding salutes, and then, Zhou Sen signed and drew on an account book, and Jia Deaf and the warehouse keeper also signed their names.
After carrying the bedding and saluting onto the cart, Jia Deaf took him to several other warehouse keepers, received some daily toiletries and a change of clothes, etc., and after finishing it, dragged a cart of things back to the corridor.
When receiving daily necessities here, Zhou Sen had a general understanding of the Shen family's business.
The Shen family has a wide range of businesses, including dishes, pottery, quilts, cloth, clothes, needlework, shoes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some ironware, sickles, farm tools, candles, and everything in a mess. Basically, everything that is relevant to a normal family, it's all here.
From Zhou Sen's point of view, the projects operated by the Shen family are all cheap products with low added value, and it seems that the scale of the business is very large, but in fact, the benefits are extremely meager, and they completely rely on quantity to win.
After returning to the corridor, Jia Deaf ignored Zhou Sen, who made the bed alone and changed into a new set of cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes.
Looking at the clean sheets, the warm bedding, and feeling the softness of the clothes, Zhou Sen had a feeling of being in a different world.
Now, I'm settled, at least, I don't have to worry about freezing to death in the snow. After settling down, first figure out the situation, the next thing is to cultivate, recover your strength as soon as possible, and then find a way back to the five star fields.
After being stunned for a while, Zhou Sen walked out and walked around the East Compound, nodding his head and making a familiar face with some people.
Observing carefully, Zhou Sen found that from time to time, some farmers would carry grain and firewood to the Shen family's east compound, and when he asked, he learned that these farmers were renting the Shen family's land, and in autumn and winter, they would carry grain or materials needed by the Shen family to offset the rent, and when they went home, they would bring some horse manure by the way. Of course, horse manure has to be exchanged for grain, and in Niejiaqiao, fertilizer is a valuable thing.
This Shen Jiadong compound is like a huge machine running non-stop, and everyone is a cog in this machine.
No wonder so many warehouses are needed.
Zhou Sen shook his head, according to his standards, this is the most primitive and backward business model, and the return is extremely slow, and the biggest benefit is the word "stability". In these businesses, although the profits are meager, the risks are also very small.
Wandering around until noon, Jia Deaf beckoned him to eat.
The food is good, except for large pots of capers and seasonal vegetables, everyone can get a big bowl of fragrant mutton soup, and a few pieces of fat mutton in the broth with green onions floating.
When dividing the mutton soup, Zhou Sen found that there was significantly more mutton in his bowl than those workers.
The rice is served by itself, and you can eat as much as you want.
Judging from the envious eyes of some peasants and the superior eyes of the workers in the East Compound when they were eating, it was obvious that working in the Shen family was very face-saving.
During the meal, some short-term workers would chat with Zhou Sen, in their opinion, Zhou Sen is a person of status, because managing the horse corridor is much easier than those who carry heavy physical work. The most important thing is that managing the horse corridor is a long-term job.
At the time of eating, a group of porters drove a group of short-legged donkeys to the east compound, and the porters were all given a bowl of soup without much mutton, and the rice was gone, and they were divided into a few cold steamed buns every other day, and they seemed to be very satisfied as they drank the hot mutton soup and swallowed the steamed buns.
After eating, some people only took a short break, and then plunged into their busy work, and began to assist the porters in unloading and registering the goods. It looks disorganized, but in fact it is responsible, meticulous, methodical, busy but not chaotic.
At the same time, when the porter was unloading, Zhou Sen found that the workers led the short-legged donkey in the corridor to a granary, and Jia Deaf drove the unloaded short-legged donkey into the corridor to tie it and feed it.
When Zhou Sen helped, he only found out when he inquired.
The Shen family is not only a large-scale sale of some messy daily necessities, but also mainly deals in food.
The so-called business grain is that every time you go out, you will transport the grain, and when you come back, the grain becomes a commodity, so that the porter and the short-legged donkey do not have to go empty, improve efficiency and reduce costs.
In Niejiaqiao, the Shen family owns more than tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, forests and barren mountains, and more than 1,000 tenants.
It was busy until the evening, when everyone dispersed, the East Compound was closed, and a quiet meal was eaten. After eating, everyone was tired from a hard day's work, washed up, and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. In the entire East Compound, except for a few unchained earth dogs roaming, the huge courtyard became quiet, and snoring could be faintly heard.
Zhou Sen went to bed early, this was the first time in nearly a year that Zhou Sen slept without the slightest pressure.
As soon as the sky was bright, Shen Jiadong's compound began to boil, and all kinds of noisy sounds filled every corner, reminding Zhou Sen that this was a busy commercial transfer station.
Zhou Sen, who got up early, followed behind Jia Deaf to help.
Jia Deaf's job seems simple, but in fact it is very tedious. In addition to cleaning the horse corridor and feeding the feed, a lot of data needs to be recorded, such as how to hand over the short-legged donkey, which short-legged donkey's feces are abnormal, and which short-legged donkey is not energetic. There are also strict standards for the amount and type of feed that short-legged donkeys eat every day, and they cannot be arbitrary.
Judging from the registration book, there will be a veterinarian who will come to the door every three days for physical examination, and by the way, the horse corridor will be disinfected.
In the next few days, Zhou Sen has fully mastered his workflow. Because Jia Deaf is a little repulsive to Zhou Sen, he works by himself, Zhou Sen has a lot of free time, and he helps others when he has nothing to do.
Zhou Sen's most helper is the kitchen.
The chef in the kitchen is so fixed with a few people, and the workload is extremely unstable, because when they usually eat, there are thirty or fifty people, but when the porter who delivers the goods catches up with the meal, he must immediately add vegetables and rice, because they also belong to the workers of the Shen family.
In just a few days, Zhou Sen mingled with the people in the kitchen.
There were five people in the kitchen, two cooks who cooked the big pot, two women and a handyman who made the fire and chopped the wood and carried the water.
These five people are all long-term workers in the Shen Jiadong compound, and two of the cooks and two women are two people themselves, known as Chef Peng, Chef Sun, and the two women are Peng's sister-in-law and grandson's sister-in-law. The handyman was a taciturn, powerful bachelor named Lu, nicknamed "Lu Axe", who spent most of his time carrying an axe to chop wood on a wooden pier outside the kitchen, or squatting by a whetstone to sharpen his heavy iron axe. Seeing Lu Axe, Zhou Sen immediately thought of Lu Zhishen, a man of the year in the ancient land.
Zhou Sen found that in the Shen Jiadong compound, almost everyone has nicknames, such as Zhu Guanzi, Jia Deaf, Chef Peng, Chef Sun, Lu Axe, etc., all of which are easy to remember and have very personal characteristics.
At present, Zhou Sen has not yet obtained a nickname, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Sen is a young man who does not talk much, looks good, and is very strong, and there are often rural women who pay rent around to introduce Zhou Sen to his daughter-in-law, and occasionally there will be girls who take the initiative to chat with Zhou Sen, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the girls, Zhou Sen is too wooden, and he can't hold back a word for a long time, and the girls are bored, so they gradually ignore him.
Zhou Sen is now thinking about returning to the Five Star Domains, where is he still thinking about messing with flowers......
……
The following days were peaceful, and the daily life was very regular, eating and leaving work at about six o'clock in the evening, going to bed at eight o'clock, and getting up at five o'clock in the morning, seemingly idle, but busy all day, without a moment of leisure.
Grains
"Axe, you don't have a family?" Zhou Sen helped Lu Axe stack the wood, and Lu Axe sat on a small wooden pier to rest and smoke, as if he was thinking about it.
"Yes." Lu axe urn sound urn airway.
"Where?" Zhou Sen likes to chat with Lu Axe, because, he won't ask, he will only answer.
"Nie Jiaqiao."
"You're a local?" Zhou Sen was stunned.
"Hmm."
"Why don't you go home?"
"It's on fire."
"Xiao Zhou, don't ask him, you just ask for a day, and you can't ask anything, his house lit candles, the fire was burned, and he was left alone in the family, he is now saving money, preparing to repair the house and marry a daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, people dislike him for being poor, people are too boring, and the girl's family doesn't like it, but ...... There is a girl who treats him well, but his parents don't agree,......" Sister-in-law Sun who came to carry firewood sighed long.
"Oh."
"Phew!"
A cold light flashed, and an iron axe was heavily nailed to the wooden pier, and the earth seemed to shake.
"Axe, say more good things to other people's parents, other people's baby girls, naturally you want to find a good family, you are not only poor, don't speak, what kind of picture is the other? You're sulking and chopping flies for a fart. ”
"Chop flies?!"
Zhou Sen's pupils constricted, and he saw that on the wooden pier where the wood was chopping, a fly was split into two pieces.
"Xiao Zhou, when the axe was in a panic, he chased and cut flies, and we laughed at it for a long time, and later, he really hit it, at first, everyone was shocked, and now, we are all used to it." Seeing Zhou Sen's incredible expression, Sister-in-law Sun was surprised to carry firewood and laugh and leave.
"How did you do that?" The shock in Zhou Sen's heart was incomprehensible.
"I want to cut." Lu Axe stared at the corpse of the fly that was split into two pieces on the wooden pier with a pair of bull's eyes, and said in a muffled voice.
"Can you cut it if you want to?" Zhou Sen was stunned.
"Hmm." Lu Axe nodded heavily.
"Teach me to cut flies!" Zhou Sen looked at Lu Axe nervously.
"Hmm."
What Zhou Sen didn't expect, Lu Axe agreed without hesitation. In fact, for Lu Axe, cutting flies is just to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, and there is no other meaning, he naturally doesn't know, but for Zhou Sen, it is an important transformation of the path of cultivating gods.
Lu Axe seems to be happy to teach his "unique skills" to Zhou Sen.
There are a few tips for cutting flies.
Fast!
Permit!
Vicious!
Fast is speed, and the speed must be several times greater than the moment the fly flies fly; Accuracy is eyesight, that is, to see the position of flies; Ruthlessness is the key, after seeing the position, you must cut it down without hesitation, hit with all your strength, and you must not hesitate, the opportunity is fleeting.
It is very easy for Lu axe to cut flies, he sits on a small wooden bench with a heavy axe in his hand, as long as a fly lands on the wooden pier, the axe in his hand flashes, and the fly is immediately split into two pieces, which looks like a light weight, easy and easy, without dragging mud and water.
There is no difficulty in being fast, the speed at which the axe is cut far exceeds the speed at which the fly flies, and it is difficult for Zhou Sen to be accurate, because the fly is just such a small black dot, it will appear in any uncertain position, or suddenly fly away, it is very difficult to lock.
Zhou Sen found that when Lu axe chopped flies, his eyes would suddenly freeze. There is no doubt that this is a locking process.
In the end, Zhou Sen summed up a lesson: intentions.
"I want to cut" and "heart" are similar, as long as you are attentive, it is not difficult to cut flies with an axe, because Zhou Sen does not lack "fast" and "ruthless", he only needs to be "accurate".
In just fifteen days, Zhou Sen mastered the essentials of cutting flies. For Zhou Sen, as long as he wants to learn one thing, it is not too difficult, not to mention that he still has the master of Lu Axe. In fact, it only took Zhou Sen three days to master, and he just didn't want to expose himself as too good.
In the past fifteen days, Zhou Sen helped Lu axe to chop wood in his spare time, in fact, the difference between chopping wood and chopping flies is not very big, if you can control the chopping wood to the point of freedom, it is not far to chop flies, among them, as long as you master certain skills, familiar with the flight trajectory and habits of flies.
Of course, to reach the point where the axe is wielded freely, it will take a long time to grind, at present, Zhou Sen can only cut the fly when he is calm and concentrated, and the wrist force control in his hand can not be retracted and released freely. And Lu Axe, he has done whatever he wants, he can cut it whenever he wants, and the heavy iron axe is light and fluttering in his hand, as if spiritual.
Lu Axe was extremely surprised by Zhou Sen's learning speed, because he cut flies, but he first chopped wood for five years, and then spent three years practicing cutting flies, and Zhou Sen did it in only half a month.
In fact, Lu Axe didn't understand the gap between him and Zhou Sen, he was groping in the "dark" at first, cutting flies with brute force, and it took three years to turn brute force into ingenuity. And Zhou Sen, in addition to having Lu Axe's guidance, he "worked hard" to cut at the beginning, and naturally got twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, there is another important reason, Zhou Sen himself is a genius scientist with strong computing power, and cutting flies actually has a great relationship with calculation, azimuth, angle, speed, and the similarities between the two.
Time passed imperceptibly, and more than a month had passed in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Sen helped Jia Deaf finish cleaning up and was concentrating on chopping wood to practice his strength, when suddenly, there was a sound of quarrel in the courtyard.
In the East Compound, quarrels are extremely rare.
