The next day was spent looking for work.
I asked about many jobs, but none of them suited me.
Either the salary is low, or others think I don’t have enough education.
In the evening, I saw a recruitment notice at a cement factory near the rental house, looking for cement unloaders, the price was 12 yuan per ton.
This kind of work is hard.
But I think I am young and have good physical strength. I can unload dozens of tons a day, right?
One hundred kilograms of cement is a bag, and one ton is twenty bags.
I wonder if I can unload a thousand bags a day?
I thought about it and walked in for the interview.
The boss is a middle-aged bald man. When I met him, I asked: "Boss, are you still recruiting workers?"
When the boss heard this, he stood up and looked me over. Seeing that I was very tall and young, he smiled and said, "Young man, this kind of work is very hard. Can you do it?"
I didn’t say much, picked up a bag of cement and started running around the house.
"Okay, okay! Anyway, it's calculated by ton. How much you can earn is up to you."
I put the cement down and took a breath: "Thank you very much, boss. May I ask what your last name is?"
"Surname is Liang, name is Jie!"
"Hello Jack!"
"May I have your name?"
"Li Lingfeng!"
Liang Jie nodded, asked me to sit down and drink tea, and then talked to me about work:
"We usually start unloading the goods at 12 o'clock in the evening. Every night around 12 o'clock, two tractor-trailers will deliver goods, each with about 800 packages. You can leave when you finish unloading the goods. Your wages are paid on a daily basis. .”
I nodded and asked: "Isn't it two cars? That means there are 1,600 bags, right? Can I unload two cars?"
Liang Jie couldn't help but laugh and said: "Do you think it's so easy to make money? Unloading eight hundred bags a day is already the ceiling of this industry! There is also an employee who will come over later. He unloads a truck, and you unload a truck! If you can't unload, After that, make less money and distribute some goods to your colleagues!"
Just kidding, you only have a truckload of goods, who are you looking down on?
According to Liang Jie, I can earn 480 yuan by unloading a truckload of goods in one night, which is 40 tons. After a month, it costs about more than 10,000 yuan.
Compared with my last job, I didn’t make any money by burning corpses, nor was it easy to burn corpses.
But I don’t think about it that much now. The most important thing is to make money, otherwise I won’t even be able to pay the rent.
Besides, I don't want to do the job of burning corpses.
Without thinking, he immediately agreed to Liang Jie.
After sitting for a while, around ten o'clock in the evening, Liang Jie asked me to wait for the bus while he went home to sleep.
As soon as he left, I sat on the tea table smoking and drinking tea.
More than an hour later, a man in his forties walked through the door, wearing a set of dirty blue clothes.
He came in, saw me, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm the new employee!"
As they spoke, the two sides introduced themselves.
This man's name is Zhang Lei, the other unloader Liang Jie just mentioned.
Before the truck came back, Zhang Lei sat next to me, gave me a Hongtashan, and murmured: "The boss finally hired someone, so there is no need to unload two trucks tonight!"
I was puzzled and asked: "Brother Lei, wouldn't it be possible to make more money by unloading two trucks of goods?"
Zhang Lei smiled and said: "Do you think you are carrying cotton? Is this your first time doing this kind of work?"
I nodded.
"You will soon realize that making money is not easy!"
Just as he was talking, there was a rumble of cars outside.
The two trucks are back.
They fell down at the gates on both sides of the warehouse.
Zhang Lei shouted from the side: "Master, pour it back a little!"
The car backed up a few meters further, and Zhang Lei made a stop gesture from behind.
As soon as the car stopped, the two drivers went to the dormitory behind the warehouse to rest.
As soon as the driver left, Zhang Lei gave me instructions and arranged where I should go to unload the goods.
He asked me to unload the truck on the left, which was a few meters away from the unloading point.
This is definitely taking advantage of me.
However, I didn’t argue with him. I just put on an apron and carried the bags of cement.
I felt fine at first, but after unloading about 30 to 50 bags of cement, I started to feel tired.
This money is so damn hard to make!
Thinking about my sister's future, I gritted my teeth and persisted.
Half of it was taken off, and my whole body was exhausted, and my bones were sore as if they were falling apart.
Zhang Lei is used to doing this kind of work and is faster than me, but he is also out of breath.
"Ling Feng, take a rest first! Sit down for an hour and then unload half of the car! Anyway, the driver will drive away at eight o'clock tomorrow!"
After listening to Zhang Lei, I looked at the time.
I just unloaded 400 bags of cement and it took three hours.
If you sleep for an hour and then unload, it will still be enough time.
After weighing it, I agreed with Zhang Lei’s suggestion and found a place to squint and take a nap.
Afraid of oversleeping, I set the alarm for an hour and a half later.
Due to exhaustion, I quickly fell into a deep sleep.
An hour and a half later, the alarm on the phone dinged.
Zhang Lei and I yawned and continued working.
As soon as I stood up, Zhang Lei pointed at my truck and asked, dumbfounded: "Ling Feng, did you just carry the cement back to the truck?"
Hearing this, I squinted at the truck and was dumbfounded.
We had just unloaded half a truck of cement, but some goddamn person carried the cement back to the truck and placed it neatly in the compartment.
There is absolutely no way Zhang Lei could have done this while I was sleeping.
First of all, there is no need for him. There is no benefit in doing so.
Even if he was upset with me and teased me, he would never be able to do it in just one and a half hours.
You know, carrying cement onto a truck is several times more difficult than unloading cement onto a truck.
Besides, I didn't offend Zhang Lei.
"How is this going?"
I was shocked and a little overwhelmed.
I watched helplessly as more than two hundred yuan was gone.
Zhang Lei was quite loyal and took me to check the surveillance.
I checked the surveillance recording from an hour and a half ago.
Found a strange problem.
It’s just that the surveillance only captured what was outside the door, and there were no electronic eyes inside.
Surveillance showed that in the past hour and a half, there had been no movement at the door outside, and only a few dogs were captured running around.
I suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and a terrible question came to my mind.
I thought, could it be done by ghosts?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Lei frowned and looked at me for a long time, with a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something.
I thought about it and asked him: "Brother Lei, has this happened before?"
Zhang Lei said with a gloomy face: "It happened twice!"
He said, without hiding anything, and continued: "At the door on the left, you can't unload the goods at night unless you don't rest in the middle..."
"It's your uncle, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I was a little angry.
Zhang Lei murmured: "I'm afraid of scaring you!"
I looked helpless, stared at him and asked, "What should I do now?"
"We are moving the goods, what else can we do? At most, I can help you unload fifty bags of cement later!"
"No! You have to help me unload at least two hundred bags, or I'll quit!"
After listening to my words, Zhang Lei quickly begged: "Don't resign! It's so hard for me to find a partner. If you leave, the boss will have to wait for years to find a new person?"
"If you help me unload two hundred bags, I won't leave!"
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!"
Next, everyone speeded up.
But we still missed the time and could not unload all the goods before eight o'clock.
