Chapter 404: You'll Know Tomorrow
Early the next morning, without waiting for the rooster to crow, Ling Yun and the others had already gotten up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's not that the two of them don't want to sleep more, they carried the sack for the afternoon yesterday, and both of them had some faint pain at this time.
But the two of them couldn't sleep a little longer because of this, because they remembered a gamble, a gamble with He Rufeng. And the consequences of losing, there are only two. Either steal people's money with a clear conscience, or worship under He Rufeng's gate and go to Cuizhu Valley with him.
And these two things are unwilling for the two of them to do. If you really lose, you have no choice but to steal someone's money. Because the two want to compare, the two always feel that bullying is always much more serious than stealing.
At this time, Chang'an City also gradually woke up from its deep sleep. Many vendors have set up roadside stalls or opened the doors of their shops to start a busy day.
The two did not stop much in front of these small shops, because they knew that they could not afford to pay them a penny. Even if he could give himself so much, it would be at least the end of the month before the two of them could get the wages they deserved.
The two of them had been thinking about it for a while, rather than wasting time looking for something more lucrative to do, it was better to go straight to the sack. Because the two of them knew that at this time, the only place where they could make a penny of silver in half a day was only a grain store.
Although they saw that the shops on the street were opening one after another, the two of them did not come forward to ask. Just went straight to the inn yesterday and went all the way to the grain store.
And the grain shop was not far from the inn, and in less than half an hour, the two of them had already come to the front of the store. The two of them thought they had arrived early enough, but when they saw the people blocking the door of the grain store, they realized that they were not the first ones.
It's just that I don't know if they came too early, or if the grain store deliberately opened late. The two saw that the door of the grain store was closed, and no one came to greet them.
And the two of them saw a large number of sacks to be unloaded in the grain shop yesterday, and they expected that the same would be the case today. But seeing that there were so many people surrounding the store in front of me, I wondered if it would be my turn to carry the sack after the store opened.
And the time limit for the two to bet with He Rufeng is only half a day. If you can't bring back a penny of money before noon, I'm afraid you'll have to face the two problems that you don't want to face.
The two of them didn't want to waste any more time here, so they discussed for a while, and then went to the shops that had opened their doors on the left. When I entered the store, I didn't say anything else to the shopkeeper, but just asked them if they wanted anyone.
But somehow, those people heard Ling Yun say that they were looking for work, and without waiting for Ling Yun to continue, they waved their hands, indicating that they didn't need anyone here.
The two of them went to several houses in succession, and they were all like this. After half an hour like this, the two of them did not find a shop that was willing to give them a job. Seeing that it was not early, the two of them were even more depressed. I am afraid that when the grain shop opens, those who are gathered outside the grain store will carry all the sacks.
At that moment, he did not continue to search, but turned back and headed towards the grain store.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the grain shop, they were surprised to find that the people gathered in front of the grain shop had already walked away at this time. The two vaguely felt that things were not good.
But in order to get a penny, the two of them didn't care about that much, so they immediately went to the grain store. Before he walked into the grain store, a person greeted him with a smile.
As soon as the two saw it, they knew that this person was the person in charge who left the two of them to do things yesterday. At the moment, he asked: "We carried the sack yesterday, and you also saw it, I don't know if you still want people here today?"
The steward had to see that it was Ling Yun and the others, frowned, waved his hand and said, "Don't do it, the grain has been moved to the warehouse, just wait for someone to buy it." If you want to buy two catties of rice, you can take care of the business of the small shop. ”
Seeing that Ling Yun's faces suddenly became embarrassed, they thought they had said the wrong thing. He also said: "You two are indeed capable, I thought it would take two days to move ten carts of grain here." I didn't expect that as soon as the two of you made a move, you actually moved most of the grain into the warehouse. Speaking of which, I have to thank you both for saving me money for finding someone to keep vigil. ”
Ling Yun and the others didn't have time to make friends with him, so they asked directly: "In addition to carrying sacks, there are other jobs to be done here." The two of us are young and strong, and we can do anything. ”
The man thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "No, if the food comes again, I will find you two again." I don't know where you live, or who your names are, but when the time comes, I will send someone to call you. ”
When Ling Yun heard him say that there was still grain to be delivered, he was overjoyed and said, "I don't know when the next batch of grain will come?"
The man in charge shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on how many people in the city buy food." If it is less, the grain in my warehouse will be sold for ten days and a half months. ”
How could Ling Yun and the others wait for such a long time, seeing that there was an endless stream of people buying food in his store, they asked, "What if there are more people buying food?"
The steward pinched his fingers and counted a few times, and then said, "Even if it is the fastest, it will take three or five days." Why, you two are so anxious to know when the next batch of grain will be, are you two very short of money?"
When Ling Yun heard him talk about three or five days, his heart was already half cold. Not to mention three or five days, even if it is half a day's work, the two of them can't wait. At the moment, he asked again: "I don't know if there is still work to be done in this left, and the two of us are short of money and want to earn more silver." ”
The man glanced at the two of them and saw that they did not look like bad people. Then he said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, this is the time of chaos. At the moment, filling your stomach is a problem, and how many people dare to recruit a few more people?"
When Ling Yun and the others heard what he meant, they knew that there was no place to recruit people in this vicinity. I didn't dare to stay here any longer, so I arched my hand and said, "Excuse me!"
The man in charge did not leave two of them, and when he saw the two of them turn away, he sighed and said, "What a good young man, but they have met such an old age." Hey, that's a pity!"
He is a businessman, how can he see that Ling Yun and the others are people who know martial arts? I thought that the two of them really couldn't eat, so they were in a hurry to find something to do. At this time, in Chang'an City, there are several more willing to recruit people. This sigh naturally thought that the two of them would die alive on the street.
Ling Yun and the others also heard his sigh, knowing that he was powerless, and they didn't say much to him. Walking to a tea shed opposite, Qi Feng asked first: "He doesn't want anyone here, where can we make that money with that money?"
Ling Yun didn't answer, just stared at the crowded streets. At this time, he realized that what He Rufeng said was true, and it was purely his luck that he was able to earn that amount of silver yesterday. (To be continued.) )
