Poor family mother and son

Chapter 305
Gan Lai couldn't bear to see the disappointed eyes of the egg stall owner, but he still bought both baskets of eggs, which were not many. More than 50 people want to eat.

Then he happily followed the old woman towards the warehouse.

Gan Lai wanted to go with him, and everyone naturally followed.

So many people, no one realizes that there is a problem here.

The egg basket that the old woman measured was waist-high. How could eggs hold so many piles together?Ostrich eggs are more or less the same!
It can be seen that in terms of some common sense of life, one cannot expect much from men. Naturally, Gan Lai is also a "male" now.

More than [-] young men walked in one direction together. No matter how many people were on the shore, it still looked impressive.

The warehouse is on the side of the pier, which is the place with the most people in the entire ferry.

A large number of porters and a small number of merchants are mixed here.

Some merchants bring their own porters to pick up the goods at the warehouse yard.Most of them are temporary porters on the pier who pick up jobs with red-headed lottery.

This red-headed stick is very important, even though the porters are in tattered clothes, barefoot, and have no place to store things all over their bodies, but they will still carefully pin the stick to their belts or other places.

The sign is an important tool for porters to pick up jobs and receive money.

The porter's visa is equivalent to the current "signature" employment certificate.

Before the ship arrives, they don't know how much cargo there is and how much labor will be needed, so the porters sit on the shore and wait in line at the pier, and those who get the lottery can start working.

On the same day, the life of the whole family will be settled, and the bill will be settled after the work is completed.

Some half-grown children cannot be used as a labor force, and they will be issued a lottery to both of them, and they will receive a share of wages at the checkout.

Xiaobao saw a [-]- or [-]-year-old boy with bare feet, his thin body carrying a load enough to cover his body, struggling to and fro between the warehouse and the ship.

Secretly feel bitter for them, this is the age of the students in the state school.

Thinking about himself, if his mother didn't try her best to make money, he would probably be like these children, working hard everywhere to support himself and his mother, right?

Xiao Bao rubbed his nose, not wanting to.

In fact, there are many people who think the same as Xiaobao. Xiao Sining and the others also have the same thought when they look at the busy porters.

For people like them, it may be difficult to be a porter after retiring from the army. Porters still have to check their household registration, and they give priority to local household registration.

These homeless people who were born as refugees and served as soldiers have to wait for a year after retiring from military households or civilian households. If they want to be porters to support themselves within a year, no one will use them.

As the saying goes, "The footmen of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent." In the eyes of the common people, these people are already vicious. As porters, what can't they do for money?

Oh, I think too much, everyone is a little distracted.

Only Gan Lai is full of calculations: 53 people eat more than 100 eggs a day, and when they meet people who are so smooth, they can eat ten eggs per person. How many eggs do they need to prepare every day?
How long will it take to get eggs next time?

Without Chu Qing and Huang Rong accompanying them, Gan Lai, as the only woman in the fleet, has already taken the responsibility of taking care of everyone's food.

The warehouse was not far away, but they were not moving fast because they had to avoid the porters who carried the goods and the women who disembarked to visit the market.

The old woman who led the way suddenly shouted to the front: "Old man, the eggs are sold! Quickly pick them up and send them to the nobleman!"

I saw an old man covered in patches in front of me saying "Hey! Hey!" in agreement, walking into the warehouse.

"That's right there. We looked at the warehouse. We were afraid that the eggs would be bumped, so we put them in the doorway. Alas, we couldn't make a few pennies from looking at the warehouse. We collected eggs from the village and sold them. At least we earned two copper coins to make ends meet. ?”

While chattering, the old woman walked through the gaps between people, turning around to look at Xiaobao from time to time, and told him, "Young master, watch out for your steps, don't trip over..."

It was a bit difficult for Gan Lai to walk with two baskets of eggs. The weight was nothing to her, but there were so many people, she was afraid that the eggs would be damaged, so she always had to avoid them.

Finally, when they came to the warehouse that the old woman pointed out, a group of coolies came out from the warehouse next door, carrying or carrying large bags, and some of them carried huge boxes in groups, shouting a little bit. Move out of the door a little bit.

Followed Xiaobao in the same direction, and there were other carriages coming to pick up the goods from the warehouse. The coachman yelled not to run into the direction of the carriage so as not to collide with those big boxes.

One group was carrying boxes to the ship, and the other group was driving a carriage to the warehouse to pull goods. The two groups staggered and filled the passageway in an instant.

With such a squeeze, Xiaobao and his party were separated into two parts. Xiaobao and Gan Lai followed the old lady in front, while the others were isolated behind.

Xiaobao looked back and found that Chu Yuan and the others were separated, a little anxious, it was not safe.But Gan Lai followed the old woman very closely for the sake of eggs.

In order not to bump into the old woman, Gan Lai even turned sideways to protect her, but the egg basket he was carrying was almost hit by the porter.

Helpless, at least we can't be separated from Gan Lai.

Xiaobao quickly helped Ganlai hold the egg basket, and at the same time followed Ganlai's scud.If you squeeze the basket again, it will be broken.

The boys were separated by the porters carrying the big wooden boxes, and the porters kept yelling: "Be careful! Make way! There is a huanghuali bookcase inside, whoever touches it will stick to the bag!"

No wonder such a big packing box turned out to be a bookcase inside.

Huanghuali bookcase, this one is really rich.

When I finally entered the warehouse pointed by the old woman, I saw the old woman's wife took the thickest and longest pole from a row of poles leaning against the wall.

Xiao Bao was wondering why the old man looked much straighter and less hunchbacked than before, when he suddenly put a sack on his head!
Gan Lai was bending down to put the egg basket on the ground, but someone put a sack on it from behind.

The special sacks on the pier are thick, big and strong.

There was a drawstring on the mouth of the sack. As soon as Xiaobao was caught in it, someone pulled the drawstring tightly, and his legs were bound instantly. At the same time, he was kicked down, and the dagger in the boot was also pulled away.

Gan Lai was not much better. When he bent down, he was covered with a sack, but he was caught in the end at once, and his whole body was sealed in the sack.

Soon someone was tossing the sack and tied it with a rope, leaving only a pair of calves outside for Xiao Bao, who was tied up firmly.

Gan Lai was imprisoned in the sack. Although the space was small, he was still able to move his hands and feet.As soon as she used her hands hard, the sack was torn open by her.

The way to deal with ordinary people doesn't work with Hercules.

Before disembarking, Gan Lai thought the double maces were too big and would attract attention, so he didn't take them with him.Fortunately, Xiaobao gave her a pair of triangular army thorns.

The moment Gan Lai tore open the sack, the three-edged thorn stabbed out!

"Ah!" With a scream, the man who was holding the rope and was about to tie the sack fell to the ground and screamed miserably, clutching his stomach.

"Shut up!" the "old man" shouted.

The accident happened too fast, and he didn't have time to break off the hook in the middle of the pole and pull out the saber inside.

Originally thinking that there were too many people on the other side, he might not be able to trick them into the warehouse, so he planned to "deliver the goods to the door" with a shoulder pole with hidden knives, and then asked the "old woman" to bring people inside and outside to catch the kid.

Unexpectedly, the "old woman" was able to do so well and recruited people.

But there were only two of them, even though they were wearing sacks, they could still violently injure others, which he did not expect.

We can't let them yell out and let their accomplices hear it, or there will be a big fight, which will be troublesome. There are inspections at the ferry.

The "old woman" was also quite surprised, but the shocked expression on her face was replaced by sternness, and she immediately swung down the knife, knocking out the man who was stabbed in the abdomen.

If he is dizzy, he doesn't need to yell anyway, anyway, he can't do anything else except yell now.

Immediately, the old woman grabbed the vegetable basket she had carried before with both hands, a pair of Emei thorns had been put on her fingers, and she rushed towards Gan Lai.
