Yu Xiaocao smiled at him and said: "I think you can set up a port office and rent a shop as a front. Projects such as cargo handling, cargo storage, item purchasing, contact shipping, etc. can be operated. The port is completed. In the future, there will be more and more people under Sixth Brother's management, and there will be more and more projects. Naturally, there will be a need for supervisors in charge. Uncle Sun is already familiar with the wharf and freight transportation. Uncle management... Isn't this way better than vicious competition?"
Brother Six stroked his chin, his eyes sparkled, as if he was deeply moved by the grand blueprint she had drawn. Although her plan was not very mature, she had already pointed out the direction for him, which made him feel enlightened. Sixth brother is not a person in a pool, give him a chance, he can take off!
Many years later, who doesn't know who doesn't know who is the boss of the port, Sixth Brother? Even some high-ranking officials had to give him a little favor. Because if you offend Sixth Brother, if it is light, your goods cannot be loaded and unloaded in time; if it is heavy, this batch of goods is very likely to fall into your hands. In the port, Sixth Brother is the myth of all migrant workers—and it all started with a casual remark from a little girl!
At this time, the sixth brother, who was only a small foreman, patted Foreman Sun on the shoulder lightly, and said sincerely: "Brother Sun, I respect you for being a man. Would you like to join me? We two are good as one, and together Do a great job!!"
Foreman Sun said in a slightly excited voice, "Six sons! Although your grandson is not as courageous and far-sighted as you are! But he is familiar with loading and unloading on the pier. If you trust me, you will not be disappointed. !!"
Seeing that the misunderstanding between the two had been resolved, Yu Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when she first started selling stewed vegetables, Foreman Sun took good care of her business and opened the door for her uncle and cousin. And Brother Six, who once helped her fight off bad guys, can be regarded as half a lifesaver. She was grateful to both of them, and really didn't want to see them turn against each other.
"Xiaocao..." Yu Heizi saw the big brother and the sixth brother at the dock, and they all looked at the little girl differently. As long as she speaks for him, it's not easy to find a job? Then he quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes and called her in a low voice.
Only then did Yu Xiaocao remember about Heizi, and she said to Sixth Brother with a little embarrassment: "Sixth Brother, this is my cousin Yu Ge, he wants to find a job at the dock, it doesn't matter if the salary is less. Look... Is there a job suitable for him?"
Brother Six glanced at Heizi who was fat and lacked exercise, his brows were slightly frowned, and the sharp eyes made people tremble a little: "Yu Ge... isn't it?"
"Yes, yes! Sixth brother, you can just call me Heizi..." Yu Heizi's heart beat a little when he saw him, but he still kept a smile on his face.
Brother Six nodded, and said truthfully: "Heizi, to be honest, I don't like you! But since Miss Xiaocao has spoken, I'll give you a chance! Did you see the boat over there? There are a group of female relatives there The luggage needs to be loaded onto the car, you and the young man from the Liu family. If you can do it, you can continue to come tomorrow, if you can’t... "
"Okay! It will definitely work!!" The luggage of the women's family members can be heavy, compared with the cargo of one or two hundred catties, this work is considered light. Yu Heizi knew that Sixth Brother was taking care of himself for Sister Xiaocao's sake, so he nodded fiercely and agreed. If he can't do this job, is he still a man
Brother Six waved at a tall and slightly thin figure not far away, and the boy walked over quickly. Yu Xiaocao took a closer look, isn't this cousin Zhiwei from the second uncle's family
"Cousin, aren't you busy with farm work at home? My father also said that he will go to help in the past two days!" Yu Xiaocao asked softly with a bright smile.
Liu Zhiwei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smirk: "There are uncle and my father at home! A few sisters can help too, and the family doesn't need so many people. Uncle San heard that the wharf will be rebuilt into a port, and a group of masons is needed , so I came to inquire about the news. I followed to see if I could do some odd jobs. The sixth brother took good care of me and always gave me light jobs. In fact, regardless of my young age, I have plenty of strength!"
Xiaocao is only as tall as Liu Zhiwei's armpit, but she speaks like a big sister: "Cousin, you are still growing, take it easy, don't get tired."
"No, don't worry!" Liu Zhiwei laughed twice, and said to Sixth Brother, "Sixth Brother, what do you want me to do?"
"You are in charge of the goods on the No. 2 passenger ship, and you take this newcomer with you. Is there any problem?" The sixth brother assigned the task vigorously.
"No problem, I promise to complete the task!!" Liu Zhiwei felt that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility when he heard that he was in charge of the entire ship, and his sense of responsibility was overwhelming. It's just a passenger ship, how much luggage can it have? Not to mention assigning someone to him, even he can handle it by himself!
The sixth brother spoke earnestly and sincerely: "Zhiwei, Heizi came here for the first time today, and I can't figure out what to do. You have to train and train patiently. We don't fish in troubled waters at the pier..."
Kuroko? Liu Zhiwei looked towards the fat black figure. Isn't this the fat Yu family who always bullies his cousins? Looking for a job? How could his mother and grandma be willing? Wouldn't it be because you want to be lazy and greedy for cheap by taking advantage of your cousin's relationship? no! He, Liu Zhiwei, would never allow him to do this!
"Heizi, let's go! Start early and finish early! Passenger ships are easy and oily work. If it wasn't for my cousin, how could it be shared with us brothers? Work smarter and work harder! Good job!" Well, the master may have some rewards!" Liu Zhiwei patted Yu Heizi on the shoulder heavily.
Liu Zhiwei deliberately made things difficult and deliberately supervised, making Yu Heizi around. Heizi, who had never done physical labor before, was ambitious and energetic at the beginning, but after a few trips, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and countless drops of sweat were shed with every step under his feet. However, Yu Heizi did not give up, and a wave of belief supported him - he must persevere and earn a lot of money so that he can marry a wife...
After carrying the luggage of a ship, Liu Zhiwei was only sweating a little, but Yu Heizi was panting like a seriously ill old cow, sweat poured down like a torrential rain, his legs were shaking, but he didn't cry out bitterly or tired.
Sixth Brother came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good job! Just do it like this, just get over it!! Take a break, eat something to gather some strength, there is still a tough battle to fight in the afternoon! Have you got any money? If you haven’t brought it with you, you can put some money in the account first…”
"No need, Sixth Brother! I came here after eating in the morning, and I'm still...not hungry!" Yu Heizi wiped the sweat off his face, leaving a few obvious gray marks.
Brother Six nodded and said, "Then find a place and have a good rest!"
When Yu Heizi was working, he had already thrown off his jacket and was only wearing a single coat. He lightly lifted the shirt off his shoulders, and saw that the shoulders had been rubbed red, so he grinned and rubbed them lightly.
Liu Zhiwei walked over and looked at him with admiration, and said, "You are not so light! When I first came here, I didn't know Sixth Brother. I worked like an adult, and the money I got was half less than theirs. .At the end of the day, a layer of skin was worn off my shoulders, and it was so hot at night that I couldn’t sleep.”
Rubbing his shoulders, Yu Heizi smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Zhiwei for taking care of me. I'm weak, and you carry almost all the big luggage. You'll take the lion's share of the wages later!"
"You've contributed a lot!" Liu Zhiwei was amazed that Hei Zi, who used to be only snarky and aggressive, suddenly seemed to be a different person.
"I'll go to my cousin's side to see. There are a lot of people eating now, so they may not be able to come over!" When Xiao Lian came here alone, Liu Zhiwei would go over to help during the meal break. This time is no exception.
Braised vegetables for a penny at the wharf are becoming more and more popular. A pig's head and dozens of bad fish every day can't satisfy the increasingly hot sales. Now, their customers are not only the workers on the dock, but also the people nearby. Some people even came here from far away, just to buy some stewed vegetables to treat guests or to make tooth sacrifices.
Almost as soon as work on the wharf ends, the stewed vegetables are sold out. Many workers who are full of expectations will return empty-handed. In order to meet the needs of more people, Yu Xiaocao had to increase the supply of goods. She first turned to the workers on the wharf for help, and if there was a pig butcher in the village, she asked him to buy the pig's head and pig into the water, and she gave two servings of braised vegetables for free. Soon, she had a few more regular sources of goods.
Braised dishes are not limited to meat dishes, but also include vegetarian dishes such as stewed kelp and dried tofu. It is said to be a vegetarian dish, but it is actually stewed in an old stew like stewed pig's head. The vegetarian dish is full of meat oil, and it tastes full of stewed pig's head meat. The portion of vegetarian dishes is more than that of meat dishes. So the sales are also very good.
There are too many varieties and portions of stewed vegetables, so you can't bring them all at home. Therefore, Yu Xiaocao bought a copper pot and clay stove, and sold them while heating them on the pier. The heated stewed cabbage has a more intense aroma, which drifts to every corner of the pier with the sea breeze. Even the female relatives who got off the passenger ship would stop to inquire.
Selling while cutting, and there are so many customers, it is inevitable that one person will be too busy. Fortunately, most of the customers are dock workers, and they are familiar with Xiaocao sisters, and they will consciously line up to buy braised vegetables.
At this time, there was already a long queue for Xiaocao's clay stove money. Most of the people in the queue knew each other, and chatted while queuing up, but they didn't feel anxious.
"Huh? What are you doing in line over there? Looking for work?" A loud voice asked in surprise.
"My lord! That's the most famous 'one penny stewed vegetables' on the pier. Although they are all crude ingredients, they still taste good!" The supervisor on the pier glanced not far away and replied with a humble smile. .
This man was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the construction of the port. Even the magistrate would give him a little favor. If he is a small supervisor, if he wants to work in the long run, he must take good care of him. !
