"Can you ensure that they are different from those we invited during the day?" Chang Shichu asked, "This batch of food is very important, and I don't want to make any mistakes."
Wei Yu'an pursed his lips, and then said to her with great certainty: "I can guarantee it, because I was begging at the dock once and was kicked into the river. It was Old Uncle Wang and his co-workers who rescued me."
"Okay, I will believe you once." Chang Shichu nodded and said. The character of a person who can jump into the river to save a little beggar should not be much different. It is better than those who want to grab food on the way. good.
"You go find them now. If they are willing, I can pay double the salary, but we have to leave overnight tonight because we have to avoid the employees who were malicious to me during the day." Chang Shichu I don't want to waste time on those evil people, the most important thing is to seize the time to transport the food back to Qing'an City.
After Wei Yu'an heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, I'll go find Uncle Wang and the others now!" Then he turned around and left.
Chang Shichu looked at his thin figure and remembered that he was a little beggar. He was probably still hungry, so he called out to him: "Wait a minute!"
Wei Yu'an stopped quickly: "Sister, what else can you do?"
"Let me get you some food. I can't let you work hungry." Chang Shichu said, then went back to the house, took out several fist-sized pieces of Shaqima and handed them to him.
Wei Yu'an hesitated for a while, but finally went ahead and said, "Thank you, sister, I'm not polite!" After saying that, he held the Shaqima in both hands, nodded to Chang Shichu, and ran out quickly.
About thirty or forty minutes later, Wei Yu'an indeed brought in seven or eight men with dark complexions and weathered faces. At first glance, they looked like they were doing hard work.
"Sister, I brought them here. This is Uncle Wang!" Wei Yu'an was in a hurry and panted to introduce to Chang Shichu.
"You...are the ones who want us to transport food to Qing'an City?" Old Uncle Wang asked in surprise when he saw Chang Shichu, a young girl with a childish look on her face.
"It's me. I wonder if Wei Yu'an told you? I originally invited another group of people to transport the food during the day, but I received news that that group of people wanted to murder me on the way and squandered my food, so I just asked Wei Yu'an to find another trustworthy person for me, and he found you." Chang Shichu told them the reason frankly.
When several people heard her words, they looked at Wei Yu'an with some surprise and some gratitude. A man in his thirties with a missing ear said to Wei Yu'an: "Little beggar, I didn't expect that you still trust us and can do this well." You introduced us to the job, I really want to thank you this time."
Wei Yu'an blushed and said seriously: "Sister, I want to find someone with trustworthy character, so I thought of you. You jumped into the river to save me, and I will repay you for your kindness."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard what he said. Old Uncle Wang asked Chang Shichu again: "Girl, can you take charge of such a big thing by yourself? Where are the adults in your family?"
"I have no family anymore. It's just me. Everything is decided by me. Don't worry, as long as you can transport this batch of food to Qing'an City, you will be paid. If you don't believe it, I can pay half of the deposit in advance." Chang Shichu knew that his appearance was not very convincing, so he went back to the house and took out a small bag of silver coins. When several people saw the bag of silver coins, their eyes suddenly lit up. Anyway, they just wanted to make money. As for who to transport food to, It doesn't matter, as long as you pay.
So everyone else had no problem. Chang Shichu actually gave them the bag of silver coins as a deposit, and agreed to give them the rest when they arrived in Qing'an City.
"Mr. Chang, can I take the silver dollars home first..." Old Uncle Wang said sheepishly, "It will take at least half a month for me to leave and go back and forth. If the family doesn't have some money, it will be difficult to open the door."
"Yes, we also want to go back and settle down at home, and at the same time borrow the horse-drawn carriage and ox-cart..." Others also said.
Chang Shichu agreed, but only gave them three hours. They would have to return here in half an hour, because if they delayed any longer, it would be dawn.
Uncle Wang and the others gratefully agreed and ran home immediately, as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. After all, this was a big order, and the money they would earn after finishing it would be more cost-effective than carrying bags at the dock for half a year. None of them wanted to Lost this job.
"What about you, do you need to settle things here?" Chang Shichu asked Wei Yu'an.
"No need, I have no relatives and nothing to settle." Wei Yu'an blurted out.
"Then you come in, take a shower and change into clean clothes." Chang Shichu regarded him as a child, because he was indeed thin and small. He was said to be twelve years old, but he looked eight or nine years old.
Wei Yuan responded calmly, and now he had time to feel ashamed of the dirt on his body. However, he was Sister Chang's servant now, so he couldn't lose her face, so he should stay clean and tidy.
It's just... "Sister, I don't have any clothes to change..." Wei Yu'an said with a red face.
Chang Shichu went back to the room in sheep's clothing, and actually found a set of coarse cloth clothes from the space that belonged to a ten-year-old child whose age could not be discerned. He gave them to Wei Yu'an and said, "Wear this set."
Wei Yu'an immediately took it and heated some hot water to take a bath.
When Chang Chang saw that he was busy working and not paying attention to himself, he took out ten bright miner's lamps from the space, disguised them, and prepared to give them to Lao Wang and others to wear on their way.
Fortunately, there are flashlights these days. Although the miner's lamp she took out is more advanced, it won't be too sudden when it appears now. They will probably just think that she bought Western goods.
Sure enough, when Lao Wang and the others arrived, they saw the miner's lamp given to them by Chang Shichu. They just looked at it in surprise for a while, praised the power of this lamp, and then returned to normal.
It took more than half an hour to transport all the food to the car and load it, before Chang Changchu led them out of Shangzhao City on horseback.
Because they deliberately kept quiet, they didn't make much movement. The neighbors around the house Chang Shichu rented were relatively far apart, so no one knew about their actions.
The convoy left the city smoothly. It wasn't until after leaving the city that the sky became brighter. Chang Shichu took them on the road for more than an hour before stopping to rest.
Because they had to transport food, Chang Shichu did not deduct their food, but was very generous. He directly took out a truck's worth of food as their food on the road.
"Master Chang, isn't this too wasteful? We don't need so much food to eat, so we can just eat some dry food." Old Uncle Wang was a little embarrassed. They had received so much wages from Chang Shichu, so why did they have the nerve to pay back the money? Eat so much food from her?
