Chapter 6: Force me to roll inward? Grain store resistance
The next morning.
Because she was too tired at the beginning of last night and the massage was so comfortable afterwards, Zhang Chunyan fell into a deep sleep and did not even get up from the bed.
When I opened my eyes, I found that the stove was already lit, and rice porridge, steamed buns, and a plate of fried cabbage slices were all on the table.
"Oh, you got up late." Zhang Chunmei hurriedly put on her clothes: "Look, this is the work of the old women, and you, the head of the family, have to do it. I will get up early tomorrow and light the fire and cook."
There was an apologetic look on Zhang Chunmei's face.
In her opinion, these chores, as well as serving the masters, were what she, a woman, should do naturally.
"We are a couple, whoever gets up earlier will do it. It's not worth it. Hurry up and eat. You still have to go to work later, wife."
"I have to go to work today."
Zhang Chunmei got down from the bed. The dull pain made it difficult for her to walk. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened last night.
"Hey? Boss, your steamed buns are really good." Zhang Chunmei took a bite and praised.
"It's delicious."
"good to eat."
Li Meng learned the skill of steaming buns from his grandmother when he was a child in his previous life. He learned it for fun at that time, and now it comes in handy after traveling through time to the 60s.
Because she got up too late, Zhang Chunmei had a simple meal, washed up and went out.
Before leaving, he instructed: "Master, you should just rest at home. There is no rush to find odd jobs."
Zhang Chunmei left, but the familiar reminder tone sounded again in her mind.
[Choose 1, rob property and eat food, reward: Bone Strengthening Pill. ]
[Choose 2, go fishing to supplement household income, reward: Master the Five Animal Play.]
[Choose 3, be the one who carries the big bag, reward: Yinlong Dan powder. ]
The moment the three choices appeared, Li Meng directly eliminated option 1.
"How can this leader encourage people to rob? It's not decent."
Bone Strengthening Pills sound like a good thing, but Li Meng is already as strong as an ox and a tiger, and feels that taking more Bone Strengthening Pills will not bring much benefit.
It’s good to be proficient in the Five Animals Exercises for fishing, but Li Meng has mastered the medical skills of a master and has already mastered the Five Animals Exercises, so he can be directly ruled out.
Furthermore, ice fishing in the winter requires buying a fishing rod and there is no guarantee that you will catch any fish.
"Yinlong Dan powder, it looks like it can enhance that ability. I have been applying it for an hour and a half, but it is useless..."
There is no choice but to pick the tallest one among the short ones.
Li Meng decided to choose 3.
After tidying up, Li Meng left the house and locked the door.
"Morning, Mengzi."
"Good morning, Damao."
"Good morning, buddy."
"Morning Pillar."
"..."
After all, he was a new face, and everyone who passed by greeted him.
Li Meng also responded with a smile.
After Li Meng left.
Xu Damao came to the central courtyard.
He smiled at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, Li Meng is really fierce. He can even take advantage of Chun Mei. If it were me, even if Chun Mei offered me money, I would take it and kick her out."
"Okay, Xu Damao, you are such a bad person. Chunmei is just a little ugly because of her birthmark, but her waist and other things, her figure are pretty good, right? Why is it that you can't swallow it? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."
Xu Damao smacked his lips and said, "Come on, she has a nice waist and a nice figure, why didn't you marry Chunmei? Chunmei is from the city, educated, and a fitter, why don't you marry her?"
"Have you ever heard of a rabbit that doesn't eat grass near its nest?" Sha Zhu said arrogantly, "If I want to find someone, I have to find someone outside the compound. What's the point of being a bully in your own nest?"
"Just keep bragging. I don't think you'll ever get married in this lifetime."
"You're lucky!" Sha Zhu cursed, "You've been having affairs with country widows all day long. I think you'll have to marry a widow sooner or later!"
"Go to hell, you idiot, you'll only marry a widow in the future, but if I want to marry someone, I'll marry a rich lady!"
......
The other end.
Li Meng searched the streets to see where he could find a job carrying heavy bags.
It would be a shame if you don’t use all this strength to carry a big bag.
"Comrade, do you still need temporary workers here? I'm very strong."
"No, no, there are enough temporary workers."
In front of the grain store, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager waved his hands impatiently.
"Well... do you know where we are short of manpower?"
"There is no shortage of people anywhere. Too many people have fled to the city to escape famine. All the work that can be done has already been done by others."
Li Meng frowned as he heard this.
That's indeed the case.
Otherwise, even though he was tall and strong, he would not have died of hunger and cold.
There are too many people, too few jobs, and supply is insufficient to meet demand, which means... the only option is to involution?
"Comrade, how much do you pay your temporary workers for carrying a bag of rice and flour?"
"Two points."
"One cent! I only want one cent!" Li Meng said, "Comrade, to be honest, I also came here to escape famine. Life is really hard to make."
Li Meng continued, "When I pay you, I'll give you half of your salary. I'll give you half later."
"Oh?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Meng again.
Li Meng is not the only refugee who has asked for a reduction in wages in order to earn some money.
But Li Meng was the first one who took the initiative to offer to share half of the money.
His name is Zheng Guoqing, and he is the director of the grain store. He is a decent person and it is impossible for him to be greedy for the few cents of hard-earned money he earns from carrying heavy bags.
I just think that Li Meng is a smart and handsome guy, so I admire him a little more.
"What do you mean by splitting it in half or in two? Who do you think I am?" Zheng Guoqing said with a smile, "Okay, there's a truckload of rice to be unloaded later, so you can help out here. I'll give you two cents per bag."
"Thank you, leader."
Li Meng was happy and thought he was lucky.
After a while, the truck carrying rice arrived.
Li Meng did not hesitate and carried five bags at a time, which really shocked Zheng Guoqing and other temporary workers.
They all shook their heads and smacked their lips, saying that this young man was born with supernatural powers and so on.
In fact, if he wasn't afraid of being too shocking, he could have resisted more at once.
Li Meng carried a total of 50 bags and received one dollar when he settled the bill.
It seems like a lot, maybe 1 times 30, so I can earn 30 a month, but the problem is that this kind of job is not available every day, and even if it is, the director may not hire me next time, after all, I am just a temporary worker.
"Thank you, boss, for giving me this opportunity to make money."
"Don't thank me, this is the hard-earned money you earned bag by bag." Zheng Guoqing praised: "Good boy, you are really strong. The day after tomorrow, it will be about the same time. There are two truckloads of noodles. Come back the day after tomorrow."
"Well, thank you."
"Haha, go ahead."
Holding the one dollar, Li Meng felt at ease, and he could finally give an explanation to his wife when he got home.
A man who marries into the wife's family can't really just rely on his wife for food, right?
I took the money I earned home and felt very righteous.
The moment he left the grain store, a reminder sounded and the reward was credited to his account. A small purple jade bottle half a finger long appeared out of thin air in Li Meng's hand.
What's inside is the Yinlongdan powder.
Li Meng casually put it in his pocket and thought: "When will I get a portable space to store things? Besides, I have a lot of strength but nowhere to use it. I have to smile even when carrying a big bag. It's really..."
Walking aimlessly on the street.
As we walked, we arrived at the street office.
"We've come this far, why don't we go in and try to see if we can solve the problem of agricultural-to-non-agricultural transition?"
