Chapter 38
"Master Hou, we have an old relationship, and the whole family is pointing at you to be merciful and have a meal. You want me." A middle-aged man in his 40s rubbed his hands with a flattering smile and approached Shen. Hou stepped forward, bent over and said.

Shen Hou glanced at him, with a smile on his face, nodded, handed him a bamboo stick, and said, "Okay, old horse, count you in, but having said that, if you use this bamboo stick today There are not fifty scratches on it, but don't blame me for not looking for you next time."

When carrying a sack of grain off the ship, someone will draw a red line with a red pen on the bamboo stick in the hands of the laborer. The more they carry, the more red lines, and the more money they will get at the end of the bill.

Hearing what Shen Hou said, the strong man's face changed slightly. He carried fifty sacks of grain in an hour, at least 500 meters from the boat to the dock warehouse. He nodded fiercely and said: "Master Hou, just look at it, if this bamboo stick doesn't have fifty red seals in the end, my old horse won't pay the bill today!"

Shen Hou smiled, knowing that this time the old horse is going to do his best, but the rush to move the goods this time is tight, and all the goods must be moved within an hour. If they don't give them some pressure, the 10% of the money It's not easy to make money.

Shen Hou patted him on the shoulder, motioned him to enter the port and wait, and glanced at the others.

If you want to make a living at the port, you need not only strength, but also a pair of vicious eyes. Some people look big and thick, but they have weak foundation. Such people are tired and out of breath after carrying more than a dozen bags, and they can't do it at all. The thing is, although some people look thin, their sinews are harder than rocks. Even if they carry three or four bags of grain at a time, they can run. There are not too many such people.

"You, you, you, and you, at least [-] lines an hour, you don't have to pay if you don't have [-] lines!" Shen Hou shouted: "Let's talk about the ugly words first, don't say that our Hai Sha Gang is not good enough!" Zheng Yi, lie to you bitter haha, only come here if you have confidence in yourself, if you think it’s not good, don’t go up! "

Unloading requires not only great strength, but also high stamina and physical strength. It is nothing to be able to carry a load. Only a qualified worker can carry a lot, run fast, and persist for a long time.

Hearing what Shen Hou said, seven or eight people's faces changed immediately, and they retreated slowly. Fifty bags of grain within an hour is too labor-intensive. There are a lot of freighters loading and unloading here every day, and most of the order runners are not short of work.

Although many people were unwilling to do it, there were also many laborers who felt that they could meet the conditions. After a while, out of the ten bamboo sticks in Shen Hou's hands, eight were distributed.

"Is no one willing to do it?" Shen Hou held the remaining two bamboo sticks and looked towards the others. Those laborers who felt that they could not meet the requirements all avoided his sight.

"I'll try?"

At this moment, Han Dong stepped forward and said to Shen Hou, "Count me in."

Shen Hou narrowed his eyes, looked Han Dong up and down, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he laughed loudly and said: "Little brother, you are still in school, study hard, and strive to be admitted to university, this place is not enough for you Work-study place!"

The other laborers also burst out laughing. They felt that this boy's head must have been broken, so he ran to the port to fight for food with a group of hard-working people like them!
"One hour, carry fifty bags of grain, fifty kilograms per bag, if you can't do it, don't pay the bill, am I right?" Facing the ridicule, Han Dong was not angry, and smiled: "Anyway, it looks like you The remaining two bamboo sticks can't be distributed, why don't you let me try?"

Shen Hou shook his head and said: "Little brother, coolie looks simple, just buy a handful of strength, but if you are not careful, you will be injured. At that time, the money will not be earned, and you will have to suffer. Why bother?"

"I just want to try!" Han Dong said stubbornly.

Shen Hou was silent for a moment, glanced at the others, and shouted loudly: "Is anyone else here?"

Waiting for a while and seeing that no one responded, Shen Hou glanced at Han Dong, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let you try, take this bamboo stick well, let's say yes first, if it is less than fifty, it will be useless !"

"I know, I understand the rules!" Han Dong nodded and said.

Shen Hou handed Han Dong a bamboo stick, patted Han Dong on the shoulder and said, "It's good to suffer a little bit, and I'll know how to study well in the future, and go to an office when I'm admitted to university!"

Shen Hou returned to the port with nine people. The cargo ship was still being handed over. Hao Dahai was waiting with a group of brothers. Seeing Shen Hou coming back, Hao Dahai swept his eyes wide, and his eyes immediately fell on Han Dong.

Seeing Hao Dahai's questioning eyes, Shen Hou said with a smile: "Today, we have recruited eight people. This young man wants to try it out, but he is still stubborn to not let him come, so I gave him a bamboo stick! But it's an agreement." , can’t pay fifty bills, don’t settle the bill!”

Hao Dahai smiled, nodded, looked at Han Dong, and did not speak.

Soon, the handover on the cargo ship was completed, and the fat man holding the checklist had sweat dripping from his forehead and the tip of his nose, his face was glowing with oil, and there was no problem with the handover. Let's move to the Hongzi No. [-] warehouse at the pier!"

"No problem, Mr. Fang, you've worked hard, take a rest first, drink some tea, my brothers and I will start unloading right away, and I'll make sure it's neatly stacked for you!" Hao Dahai said with a smile.

Soon, a three-meter-wide plank protruded from the deck of the cargo ship, and the laborers behind Hao Dahai began to carry sacks one by one.

There were two people on the cargo ship to carry these workers on their shoulders. Some workers carried two bags on their shoulders, and some carried three bags. With one hand on their waist and the other on their shoulders, they walked quickly towards the warehouse.

After a while, it was Han Dong's turn. When the two boys who put the sacks saw Han Dong, they were stunned for a moment. After looking at each other, there were smiles in their eyes.

"How many bags?" The young man on the left asked with a smile.

"Try carrying a bag first!" Han Dong said with some embarrassment.

"If you have one bag, you have to be ready to work for nothing!" The man on the right laughed, picked up a bag of grain with one hand, and threw it towards Han Dong.

Han Dong narrowed his eyes. This man looked only in his 20s, but his strength was terrifying. It would be difficult for ordinary people to carry this [-]-kilogram bag of grain, but he picked it up with one hand. Easy, doesn't look like much effort.

Bang!
With a muffled sound, Han Dong stretched out his hand to catch the bag of grain steadily, and carried it on his shoulder. After trying the weight, he felt that there was still room for it. He smiled at the two of them and said, "It seems that I can carry another bag. Add another bag."
