Brother Monkey slapped his thigh hard and praised, "Your brain is really good, why can't I think of it?"
Qin Tian said, "These merchants have come all the way to Xianhu City, and they don't have many people with them. They must have hired coolies here to load the goods. As long as they sneak in and get to the medicine warehouse of the head office, we will wait for the opportunity."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's pay and go."
"Well, let me go get two pieces of cloth for you to wear first, and try to dress yourself up like a coolie."
Brother Monkey smiled and nodded. Although the two of them were not wearing silk and satin, they were not bad.
Look at the coolies standing under the bridge. They are all dressed in coarse linen and slovenly clothes.
If the two of them didn't make some changes, others would think they were here to hire coolies!
After paying for the tea, the two of them walked through the streets to buy cloth. After dressing up, they still looked a bit like poor coolies.
Brother Monkey lowered his head and looked at the coarse linen clothes. "Hey, this is okay."
Qin Tian walked in front, turned around and urged, "The sun will set in two hours, hurry up!"
"okay!"
The other side of the lake was less than a thousand meters away, and the two of them quickly walked across the bridge.
The weather is not hot, it can be said to be very mild, but hundreds of sweaters are sitting shirtless on the roadside, perhaps to attract the attention of their employers.
No matter who it is, the coolies who choose to move will definitely choose those with strong muscles and strong bodies. This is like a man going to a brothel to select promiscuous women. How can those women attract customers if they don't dress up beautifully.
In the final analysis, this is the sorrow of the people at the bottom, and everything is for survival.
As soon as the two of them merged into the crowd of coolies, a sour smell of sweat hit their nostrils. This was not important. The most important thing was that the air was filled with a strong smell of dead salted fish.
Brother Monkey blinked and quickly covered his mouth and nose, as if he was smelled by the sour smell, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Damn it, whose feet are so smelly."
Brother Monkey searched around and finally found a few sweaty people sitting on the ground lazily with their bare feet. The dirt on those feet could probably dye the lake behind them black.
Under the warm sunshine, you can vaguely see athlete's foot rising on their bare feet.
Qin Tian and Brother Hou hurriedly stayed away. They all admired the people around those bare-footed men. Aren't they afraid of the smell? Or they were already used to the smell.
"Hey, who are these two young boys? It seems that I have never seen them before?"
The thin Qin Tian and the skinny Brother Hou were crowded among these big men. The difference in physique made the two of them look out of place, attracting strange looks.
Not long after, a big man came up to talk to him, "Little brother, are you here to find work too?"
Brother Monkey grinned, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, please take care of me, brothers."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Brother Monkey's words made the coolies around him laugh. One of the people in the crowd said, "You two can carry so many things with your body, so don't embarrass yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the coolies around him began to boo and ridicule.
Brother Monkey frowned and his face turned cold. His temper suddenly welled up in his heart. Just as he was about to curse, Qin Tian grabbed his arm.
Looking back, he saw Qin Tian shaking his head at him, signaling him not to cause trouble. After thinking about it, Brother Monkey glared at those people and then gave up.
"Ignore them. They have always been like this. When they see new people coming, they want to squeeze them out because one more person coming here to look for work means less money. Just ignore them."
The man who came to chat with me must be in his early thirties. Judging from the large beads of sweat still on his forehead, he must have just finished a job.
Qin Tian looked at the strange man, clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder what I call this big brother?"
The man patted his strong chest and introduced himself loudly, "Everyone here calls me Daniel, what do you call me?"
"It turns out to be Brother Niu, my name is Qingtian!"
"monkey."
Qin Tian and Brother Hou hugged each other, and Daniel grinned. His face, which was in his early thirties, was covered with the ravages of time. He asked, "It should be the first day for these two brothers to do this job."
Right? I've never seen you two before."
"Yes, today is the first day. The family is almost out of food, so we can only exchange physical strength for money."
Brother Monkey sighed, his eyes and face were filled with the aura of a movie king. His expression was dull and lost, just like an ordinary person who had no way out.
If Qin Tian didn't know his basic details, he might have been deceived by his expression.
"Those who work in our industry must be poor and have to make a living." Daniel patted Brother Monkey on the shoulder and comforted him, "As long as you work hard, you will have no problem with food and clothing. It's just that your physiques are too weak. The employers are
You are very picky, if I come to do business, you have to shout hard."
Qin Tian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Niu for your advice, and please take care of me in the future!"
"I don't dare to take care of you. Everyone is just making ends meet..."
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, an employer came over with a few people, and behind them there were more than a dozen loaded carriages. It seemed that the business this time was quite big.
When the employer drove a carriage with people, a group of big men who were waiting for work fled like flies, and the three people who were chatting were almost knocked to the ground by these rude men.
"Boss, you see that my limbs are well developed and powerful. I can easily carry a load of one or two hundred kilograms at a time. Choose me!"
"Boss, I don't want a lot of wages, but I want to be durable and have stamina. You want me to work for you."
Noisy sounds came and went, and it exploded for a while.
Seeing that there was another business deal, Da Niu no longer bothered to chat with Qin Tian and the others. He squeezed into the crowd and shouted hard, showing off the eight-pack muscles of his abdomen and the biceps of his upper arms like everyone else.
It's just that he arrived late, and the employer hurriedly selected more than a dozen big men and left.
Those who were not chosen dispersed in despair and returned to the previous place to brag and kill time.
Daniel returned to Qin Tian and the others and asked, "Why did you two stand here so stupidly just now? You have to take the initiative to find a job, otherwise employers will never be able to choose you."
Brother Monkey scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and explained, "Aren't we inexperienced? When someone comes, we will definitely be the first to rush over."
Daniel nodded happily like a big brother, "Well, that's right. You have to work hard. That's all I can do to help you."
Before waiting for two minutes, another employer came over with a group of people and a carriage.
