Chapter 360 Coolie(1/2)
Everyone has a good intention, and even a traitor or evil person has done good deeds intentionally or unintentionally.
This is the case with this lady from the Lin family. She heard Lin Chang tell him that Li Kan killed a hungry wolf with bare hands, and then she became a little interested. She saw that his family was very pitiful, so she became kind and asked Li Kan to come to their house to work and earn some money.
Li Kan wishfully thought that the lady was interested in him, but after saying a few words, he realized that this was not the case at all, that he was thinking too much.
It's nothing, it's just that being a simple kind heart is better, and Li Kan doesn't want to have too much involvement in the other world.
Miss Lin asked Li Kan some questions and asked him to follow Lin Chang to meet his leader.
"Make this?" Li Kan looked at the bag in a warehouse and asked him to be a porter for a long time.
The Lin family is also considered a wealthy person in the town, so there are many living things coming and going every day, so there are porters.
"What? Don't want to? Fifty cents a day, you can control whether you want to go home or not." Lin Chang said.
"Fifty-money? How much is that?" Li Kan asked. He felt it was definitely not much, and fifty-money is about the same.
"It's enough for your family to fill their stomachs. It's a day." Lin Chang said.
This job is very free. If you come to work today, you will have money and food, and even give you a place to sleep at night. If you don’t come, no one will care about it, because although this job is not very good, there are people who rush to do it every day.
"There is another problem." Li Kan said.
"You said." Lin Chang made a gesture of asking for help.
"Do you care about food and fullness?" Li Kan asked.
"Of course! Just a few words to worry about it." Lin Chang said with a smile.
"Okay, start work, where to move these?" Li Kan rolled up his sleeves and said.
"What's the hurry? I've met Lao An first. This is your foreman. Just look for him if you have something to do. Next, you can listen to his arrangements. I'll go back." Lin Chang said and left.
Only Li Kan and the foreman in his thirties were left.
"Hello leader." Li Kan thought about it, but still greeted him with a smile.
"Leader?" After hearing this, the foreman thought the title was pretty good. He smiled and said, "You are Li Dan? What are you wearing? Come and close this outfit to work."
The foreman said and threw it to him in a dress that was convenient for work.
Li Kan is still wearing Chinese clothes, but he is a little out of place here. He looked at the clothes and found that although they were worn out, they were still clean. So he found a place to change it with great difficulty. He put away the clothes he had changed and placed them in one place.
It’s just that the phone is a little troublesome because his clothes don’t have pockets. In ancient times, people seemed to put things in their sleeves. But the cuffs of his clothes are tied up, which is almost the same as close-fitting.
After thinking about it, he put on his casual pants again, covering the hem of his clothes a little, and it didn't look inconsistent, so that he would have a place to put his phone.
When I returned to the warehouse foreman, I saw that she did not change her pants or said anything, but was directing other people working.
"Don't be messed up with one car!" said the foreman loudly. Only then did Li Kan find that many carriages were parked at the warehouse door. It seemed that they were used for loading.
"Hey! Who? Don't stand there, that car is yours, fill it up first." said the foreman Li Kan.
This kind of carriage loading is larger than an average car, and it takes some effort to fill it.
Li Kan saw coolies carrying bags and walking towards his carriage, and they were all adults, and these people often did hard work, so they must have strength, but they still had some difficulty, which showed the heavy weight of these goods.
But Li Kan was not afraid because he had nothing else, so he had brute force. Although he was still a little weak now, he was still a pediatrician to move some goods.
"Leader! I'm done moving!" The foreman was commanding other coolies to be careful when suddenly Li Kan's voice came over.
"What are you talking nonsense... Uh? Is it really finished moving?" Foreman Lao An looked at the carriage next to Li Kan in a daze. Not only did he finish moving, he also gave him neat codes. He didn't want others to put it in a rough way, because this would take up more space and he could move less pieces.
Lao An knew this very well, but as long as it was not too much, he ignored it. He didn't expect that Li Kan was so quick, he moved so quickly, and was still arranged so neatly.
"Leader, do you think there is anything else to move?" Li Kan said.
"Ah? Then you can help them." Lao An came back to his senses and said.
"Okay." Li Kan nodded and agreed.
It was usually half a morning and half an afternoon to load the goods, but with the help of Li Kan, it was completed in just one morning.
Due to his weakness, Li Kan was already a little panting and sweating on his forehead after helping him move.
"Tao An, a strong man came today." A coolie said when he was money.
"Yes, but you see he is too tired." Lao An smiled at Li Kan, who was sitting aside and gasping.
"Hey! Li Dan! Come here to get the money!" Lao An shouted at Li Kan.
"Hey! Here comes!" Li Kan heard this and walked over and said, "Leader, isn't you responsible for food? I'm hungry!"
"Haha! Take the money and go to the door to eat with them. There is no money to eat casually, so you can eat it with fullness." Lao An smiled and gave Li Kan sixty copper coins.
"Hey? Leader, there are too many." Li Kan checked for a while and said to Lao An.
"Those who are capable work harder, take it." Lao An said with a smile.
"Then thank you, leader." Li Kan was so excited that he was as happy as something, and followed the workers out for dinner with a smile.
There is a small restaurant not far from the entrance of the warehouse. It is said that the restaurant is almost the canteen of the Lin family workers, because the main source of customers is the Lin family workers, and no one else will hand over to each other for a few days. It can be said that one day the Lin family warehouse will change its location, the small restaurant will be closed.
Li Kan followed these workers into the restaurant, but now they ignored him and would not sit with him when they had eaten. He would rather have a few people crowded on the same table.
"What's going on? I've helped you today." Li Kan thought in confusion.
However, Li Kan didn't care. Soon the owner of the hotel brought bowls of rice. It was a big bowl of rice, and the rice and dishes were put together.
Li Kan tasted it and found it very delicious. Since he arrived in this world, he has been hungry every day, and today he can finally eat enough.
The food was OK, but there was not much oil and water, and it was very light. I guess I didn't add much salt, but Li Kan didn't care and had a lot of fun eating.
This kind of big sea bowl is almost the same as adults usually eat one bowl.
After Li Kan finished eating, he shouted: "Boss, have another bowl!"
Anyway, the foreman comes to check out after dinner here. Li Kan must have enough food today!
In the boss's surprised gaze, Li Kan ate five bowls of rice in a row before leaving.
Thanks to Li Kan's help, the work ended early, so he can move freely this afternoon and just continue to come tomorrow.
Li Kan bought a few sesame cakes and strolled on the street while eating.
By the way, a sesame cake costs two cents, which is so expensive!
Li Kan gritted his teeth and nibbled the sesame cakes. In fact, he was not full in the five bowls of rice in the restaurant. Because he ate too much, Li Kan felt that it was not delicious, so he might as well eat steamed buns. So Li Kan bought a few sesame cakes. If the food in the restaurant was a little better, Li Kan would not spend these few cents.
Li Kan found the tailor shop while eating and bought a few decent winter clothes for the mother and daughter. Seeing that it was still early, he ran to a restaurant that looked pretty good, went in and ordered a pot of tea, and sat there with a plate of melon seeds.
The guests here all eat and drink, so tea is free and melon seeds are cheaper, which costs only one cent.
So Li Kan conservative waiter despised the baptism of his eyes. You said you didn’t have the money to come here to make a big clove of garlic?
Moreover, Li Kan's dress doesn't look like a rich man. He is wearing clothes he just wore and has traces of work, which is a bit dirty, so he dominated a table and no one snatched him.
Li Kan sat here and heard the news he wanted, about the news about this world.
He could have gone back and asked Huaer and his daughter directly, but they probably didn't know much, so Li Kan thought of coming to the restaurant.
He really heard a lot of news.
The Lanxian Town where he is located belongs to Qin State, and of course it is not the Qin State in Chinese history, but it is just the same name.
What Li Kan knows at present is that this is a world of ordinary people. At most, there are some martial arts masters, no demons, no exorcists, and other messy superpowers, immortal cultivators, etc., just an ordinary feudal society.
"What should I do? They are all ordinary people, who should I ask for how to go back?" Li Kan said in a sigh.
But think about it, wasn’t Li Kan also an atheist before entering the workshop? The people in this restaurant are all ordinary people, and they only know only a limited amount of knowledge.
Not to mention anything else, the one who dances around him today is not an ordinary person. He just jumps and can communicate with them by himself. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Moreover, Li Kan listened to the news casually in vain. Most of the things he heard were trivial matters that the young man had peeked at who had taken a bath, and who owed him money.
So Li Kan was no longer interested after hearing this for a while.
He called the waiter and ignored his contemptuous expression and asked, "I ask you, how much does it cost to buy a property here?"
...
It was getting late, and in the broken house, Huaer and her mother sat in the fire. Today, Li Kan had been out for a day and had not come back yet.
Huaer asked with your concern: "Mom, will Li Dan come back?"
"Oh!" Hua'er's mother sighed and said, "There are people who have work and money to get it. What do we have here? Maybe they won't come back."
The two of them had never thought that Li Kan's life could be said to have been saved by them. Without them, they might have frozen to death in some corners. Now that he has a job and can earn money, he would have been a little ungrateful if he doesn't come back.
But how could Li Kan be that kind of person?
After Huaer's mother said this, a figure suddenly appeared at the door without any restraint.
"Huaer! Auntie! I'm back! Have you eaten?"
A familiar voice came, and the flower suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Dad!"
"Mom~ Why do you still remember this?" Li Kan jumped, but still did not refuse the Huaer who ran over.
"I thought you were not back." Hua'er said, holding Li Kan.
"How could I not leave you behind?" Li Kan said with a smile.
"Ah!" Huaer then reacted and said in surprise: "Dad! Can you say what we say?"
