From this day on, the children of the Money Gang gathered at the entrance of Fucheng Warehouse in Liangtingzi Lane at around seven o'clock every day.
When the door opened, as soon as they got the goods, they immediately split up and ran to deliver the goods!
Xiaoyan was still sitting alone in the warehouse just like yesterday, acting as Mr. Du's hostage.
When Mr. Du was here, she would talk to him. When Mr. Du was not around, she would chat with the big men looking after the warehouse.
She is only fourteen years old and quite cute. Even the big men are willing to chat with her. She has nothing to do anyway.
When she wasn't chatting, she would wander around the warehouse, looking fresh everywhere.
More often than not, she watched the masters packaging the goods!
The goods are all packed in wooden boxes, and there is a high pile on the wall, almost reaching the roof.
The packaging master opened the wooden box, removed the straw inside, opened the oil paper bag, and took out a large black ball.
They put the ball on the table, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife. Each piece must be carefully weighed with a scale. If there is more, reduce it, and if it is less, add more. Then use a wooden hammer to beat the cigarettes into neat pieces.
rectangular strips and wrap them in aluminum foil.
All packaged goods are divided into three types: 2 taels, 3 taels and 4 taels. Cigarette shops vary in size, so the amount used depends on the amount. The amount paid by the cigarette shop for a roll is also different!
Xiaoyan noticed that the cargo boxes on the wall reached the roof. There were several small windows near the roof. They were very narrow and ordinary people would never be able to get in!
The most obvious thing in the warehouse is the smell inside! It is a urine smell, which is very offensive to the nose!
Xiaoyan said: "Master, it tastes so good."
The master stepped on the wooden box, opened two small windows, and let the smell disperse in the warehouse!
But the people in the warehouse are very cautious. When they get off work every day, they have to check the warehouse and make sure that all the windows are closed before leaving!

Throughout the whole day, the children of the Qian Gang were really nimble. As it approached noon, they came back one after another.
They first went to a big table to pay. They took out ten or twelve rolls of money and put them on the table.
The accountant was wearing a pair of round crystal glasses and a neat gown, sitting upright on a chair.
He first picked up a roll of money, confirmed that the seal on the money was not damaged, and then checked the number on the note, which was the serial number. He opened the account book, found the serial number, and put a check mark in the corresponding position to indicate that this cigarette shop
The shop has received the goods.
After confirming and recording, he opened a huge and heavy wooden box next to him and put the ten rolls of money in it.
Xiaoyan and the children who came back didn't say anything, but out of the corner of their eyes, they saw that the accountant kept the key in his pocket every time! It was a big copper key, and there was a big one on the box.
The lock! So strong!
After that, the accountant took out ten or twelve yuan from the drawer and gave it to the child.
The child changed hands and handed the money to Xiaoyan.
Xiaoyan carefully put the money into the cloth bag on her chest! She patted it after putting it away.
The child finally walked up to the packaging master and said according to the address in his hand: "Excuse me, master, I want three two-liangs, four three-liangs, and three four-liangs."
The packaging master put the goods wrapped in tin foil into his cloth bag according to the weight and quantity he said.
These children turned around and rushed out of the warehouse to deliver their next shipment!

That evening, a smiling Mr. Du came down with two men.
He sat down at the table, waved to Xiaoyan and said, "Girl, how are you?"
Xiaoyan pouted and said: "It's not good! It's suffocating to death! The smell is also terrible! Your husband asked me to sit here, but he still doesn't believe us! Just think about it, we can still run away
Where to go! What a place!"
Mr. Du pondered for a moment and said: "Miss Xiaoyan, don't worry, this kind of business is like this. Let's all be more careful. Losing goods and money are life-threatening things! Do you think so?"
Xiaoyan didn't answer, just nodded with her lips pursed.
The next thing Mr. Du needs to do is to count today's payment.
The accountant took out the key, opened the heavy wooden box, and took the rolls of money inside to the table.
Of the two people who followed Mr. Du, one picked up a roll of money and quoted the number on it. The other found the number on the account book. The first person tore up the note, counted the money, and then quoted the number.
One just writes the amount of money in his account book. This is a method of checking and accounting at the same time.
In the end, the money was sorted and neatly placed on the table.
Xiaoyan was on the other side helping the packaging master to beat the cigarette cubes, but out of the corner of his eyes, he was looking at a lot of money on the table over there!
The payment and accounts were all checked. Mr. Du's men put the money into a big leather bag, picked it up, and followed Mr. Du away.
Xiaoyan soon realized that this was what Mr. Du had to do every day! Payment for goods would not stay overnight in this warehouse!
Think about it, how can you spend the night in a warehouse with so much money? Impossible!

That night, Xiaoyan and the children in the gang also counted today's income, which was seventy-two yuan!
The children next to me don’t need to know the specific amount of money. They only need to look at the pile of money on the small table to know that they have earned a lot today! Wow, this is a lot of money!
Ke Keyingzi tidied the money, put it into a cloth bag, and placed it on the small table.
But her eyes kept staring darkly at Xiaoyan opposite her, as if she wanted to eat her!
When the senior official saw Yingzi's eyes, he also turned back to look at Xiaoyan. It was the kind of eyes that looked at and inquired about!
After a moment, Mazi also quietly moved over and stared at Xiaoyan motionlessly, as if there was something strange on her face.
Xiaoyan stared at them one by one, then tilted her mouth, shook her head hard, and looked back at the door! As if she was angry with someone!
The senior officials all lowered their heads, and their mouths were also crooked. They immediately saw the look in Xiaoyan's eyes. She didn't find a chance! There was no chance! Such a lot of money, a big leather bag! But
They didn't stand a chance!
How to do a business without opportunities? What a difference!

Chongqing, Chaotianmen Pier.
Several long whistles signaled that the passenger ship had arrived at the end!
All the passengers got into a mess, packing their luggage, greeting the people around them, and then carrying large and small bags, they slowly moved towards the gangway along with the others, all of them looking impatient.
When there were not many guests, Anjiang and his sister slowly came out of their hiding place and looked around carefully.
Their clothes were dirty, and their faces and hands were black. They looked at the high and wide steps on the pier in astonishment and the sign hanging next to it, Chongqing, Chaotianmen!
They didn't expect that they would follow the passenger ship to Chongqing! They had no idea what to do when they got to Chongqing!
They soon saw that no one was cutting tickets at the pier. After the guests got off the boat, they rushed up the high steps and dispersed in all directions. They hid behind the adults in front and quickly slipped ashore.
Once ashore, there is nothing they can do!
On the boat, they could steal some swill to eat! When they got to the shore, there was nothing for them to eat!
The younger sister raised her head and said in a small voice: "Brother, I'm hungry." Then she looked at him eagerly.
An Jiang looked around, then bought a big cake from a food stall for five cents and handed it to his sister.
After taking a bite, the sister held her brother's hand and asked him to take a bite too. So Anjiang took a small bite.
The brother and sister finished the big cake quickly. They were not full, but there was nothing they could do.
The little money An Jiang had was given to him by Aunt Liao when he left, so he had to save it! Looking at the undulating streets in front of them and the rows of shops on both sides, they didn't know what to do.
At this time, it was my sister who took the initiative.
She stretched out her black little hands and said to the owner of a food stall: "Please uncle, please give me some food."
The stall owner looked at her, then took out a piece of rice cake from the basket and handed it to her, saying: "Let's go, let's go, don't come again!" The stall owner turned around and said to the people next to him: "There are so many refugees who come here every day.
Oh, how can I stand it!"
An Jiang heard it, even if he was begging for food, it might not be easy to get it here!

After calculation, Kaike Eiko and Mazi found that they had two days free, and the children could take a rest!
So, that evening, Xiaoyan said to Mr. Du: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we have to take a break and come back the day after tomorrow."
Mr. Du frowned and looked at her very suspiciously, almost suspecting that she was going to abscond with the money! But the payment they collected today has been handed over, so this suspicion was not established!
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xiaoyan took out the delivery account book and showed it to him.
Mr. Du took a closer look, and sure enough, the cigarette shop in front had already delivered the goods, and the cigarette shop in the back would not deliver it for another two days. To be honest, this is also the result of the high delivery efficiency of the children of the Money Gang!
Mr. Du then said: "Okay, then you can rest for two days and continue delivering goods in two days!"

This day is Sunday, and even the business of sending children to school has been stopped. All children can have a day off!
All they have to do is wash their clothes and tidy up their belongings, and then go to a small restaurant on Xiubi Street to have a good meal or even have a small glass of wine.
All the children’s faces were filled with joy. For them, this was the happiest day!
In the morning, Xiaoyan has been washing clothes for her brother, or holding his little hand and walking back and forth in front of the door.
Grandma sat on the stone in front of the door and looked at them with a kind smile on her face.
After that, Xiaoyan went to Xinhua Daily to see if they had any manuscripts to send.
These days, she has the most leisure time, sitting in Fucheng warehouse in a daze every day. The business of sending children to school has stopped, but the business of delivering manuscripts to newspapers has not stopped. This naturally became her business.
