Chapter 159 Let's Take a Break
After working for a long time, lunch could only be postponed until after two o'clock. Considering that there was no need for Mo Saoyun and Sanxizi to make a trip in vain, Xia Xiaoshu called the two of them respectively and gave them half a day off in the afternoon.
During this period of time, Xia Xiaoshu felt that the pace of his life was too tight. He had only half a day to spare, so everyone should take a rest.
I washed some small rapeseed, and there was some fried tofu left last night. I kneaded it with some noodles. Xiaoxia was going to fry some noodles.
While making noodles there, Shi Gandang walked in from outside.
"Eh?! Why are you eating just now?"
"I've been busy helping the archaeological team for a while. I just missed dinner. Would you like some?"
"No, I ate in the town. There are a lot of people missing from the archaeological team. What? Are we going to evacuate?" As he spoke, Shi Jiudang didn't show up, and picked up a cleaning tool.
I took a few bites of the good apple.
"Someone came to explore the warehouse last night. For safety reasons, I suggested to Captain He and the others to transport all the treasures back to the city. They left just a short while ago! You didn't encounter a large convoy on the way.
?"
"I didn't pay attention! Was there a burglar here last night?" Shi Jiudang asked curiously.
"It's highly suspicious. However, he didn't succeed. By the way, the 'rat lock' you gave me really worked. It probably scared that person quite a lot."
"That's right! The craftsmanship of Lao Shi's family is not something you just boast about, haha..." At this point, Shi Jiudang showed a very proud look.
After making peace with each other and still needing to wake up for a while, Xiaoxia invited Shi Jiu to come to her office for a sip of tea.
"I heard from people in the village that in just a few days, Sanxizi has already earned thousands of dollars from you?!" When he spoke, Shi Jiudang's eyes were shining. Seeing what he meant, he was
Half convinced and half doubtful.
"It's not much, just over two thousand yuan. Sanxizi is willing to work hard and is a good helper." Xia Xiaoshu responded with a smile.
"That's it, that's it... I don't have much work to do recently... Do you still lack manpower here?" Shi Jiudang wanted to participate in this small business.
During the recent period, Shi Jiudang has taken on some odd jobs. There are very few stone carving jobs. He mainly helps his friends with odd jobs. The largest amount of income is only more than 600 yuan, but he doesn't care.
Rice, stewed vegetables and white rice, paired with a few steamed buns and a few cakes, and occasionally two fried dishes to go with wine. The portion was not large, and Shi Jiudang was never embarrassed to eat and drink as much as he wanted.
Shi Jiudang is also considerate of others. No matter what you say, none of them are very rich! What's more, there is still friendship involved.
It's different here with Xia Xiaoshu. Whatever Mr. Xia eats, the partners eat with them. Whenever possible, Mr. Xia will always prepare the best food for everyone.
Compared with the friends around Shi Jiudang, Mr. Xia always showed a generous spirit.
In fact, Shi Jiudang also knew that Mr. Xia did not have much income at hand.
"I'm thinking about suspending work for a few days! You don't know, our branch is still managed by the head office. The profits here are getting better, and it's hard to guarantee that the head office won't have other ideas. Anyway, 7
After all, the batch of goods stored in warehouse No. 1 is the asset of the parent company. At most, we can only keep it and operate it for them. The decision-making power lies with them. Besides, there are middle-level managers watching over it, so I plan to wait and see.
Let’s wait and see what happens in a few days.” Xia Xiaoshu patiently explained a few words.
"From what you say, the head office has already responded?" Shi Jiudang curled his lips and asked.
"That's not true."
"This is over?! This kind of thing needs to be dealt with quickly. Anyway, the authority to operate the agency is in the hands of Manager Mu. All incoming and outgoing orders are in compliance with the rules. Wait until the head office smells something.
When it smells bad, we have already cleared the warehouse here! How many years have passed? Man said that the people at the head office, even your manager Mu, have seen her come here once in several years."
"Brother Shi, do you think we run a restaurant? Our turnover is so fast every day! Hahaha... These are Chinese medicinal materials. It doesn't mean that every order comes with an order. The last time we did the business, we met an expert.
He quickly took action. You don't know, but the medicinal materials in Warehouse No. 7 are in so many categories and mismatched that they can't even be sorted out in a short while, not to mention that they still have to find the right ones.
Where are the customers?" Xia Xiaoshu patiently told Shi Jiudang the relevant facts.
"Really? That... is a bit difficult to handle!" After saying this, Shi Jiudang felt much relieved, and his resentment towards Sanxizi for having easily obtained several thousand yuan had faded a lot.
It looked like there was nothing to talk about, and Shi Jiudang had something on his mind, so after saying a few polite words, Shi Jiudang walked out unsteadily.
Xia Xiaoshu cooked two bowls of noodles for himself quickly. While eating, Xia Xiaoshu thought about contacting the testmate named "Xin Yuan".
…
"How many of you are here?" Xia Xiaoshu asked casually through the chat software.
"My best friend...and my senior brother, there are just three of us. Why, is it convenient for you?" "Xin Yuan" replied from the other side.
"Then...should I rent a yard for you in the village? Or should we discuss it with the villagers and see who can stay overnight?"
"It's not that troublesome. We bring tents, sleeping bags, simple tables and chairs... and other outdoor supplies with us. My bestie is tired of living in the city and is always clamoring to experience the wild camping life in the countryside. Why not
Let’s discuss it when we get there! If the scenery there is different from what they imagined, maybe we can go back to the city the same day!”
"That's fine, I'm always waiting for you!"
"Then... let's go there early tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
I turned off the computer and looked up out of the window. The sun was about to set. At this moment, the vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. in the town are relatively cheap. Everything is fresh and fresh. Come tomorrow."
"Xinyuan" Those three are coming over here to play, so I have to prepare something to eat.
After simply tidying up, Xia Xiaoshu came to the courtyard and asked Researcher Lu: "Teacher Lu, I went to town to buy some things. Can I bring you anything?"
"Then...bring me some fruit. Also, bring me a box of instant noodles. As long as it doesn't contain chili peppers and is not fried, any brand will do. Xiao Wang, where are you?" As he spoke, Researcher Lu
I shouted to Warehouse No. 11.
"Mr. Xia Xia, please bring me some beef. Braised, not raw. Wait...and bring me some pot stickers. The most famous restaurant in town. Others...no, that's it.
.”
"I'd like you two to take care of the warehouse. I'll be back soon." As he spoke, Xia Xiaoshu turned around and came to the entrance of the courtyard. He gave Wangcai a few words of instruction, walked out of the gate and walked slowly to the entrance of the village.
, to see if I could get a ride.
Not long after, an acquaintance, a junior, rode a 70% new motorcycle from the south and drove over.
"Uncle Xia! Are you going to town?"
"Uncle Xia?! Am I that old?" Xia Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile.
"Isn't this an expression of respect for you? You have made my grandfather earn a lot of money. He praises you a lot! Let's go! Get in the car and I'll give you a ride."
Chapter completed!
