Chapter 86

There are a total of four private coal mines, but because the coal mines are basically in slightly remote places, it took the three of them five days to visit these places.

I just asked around and couldn't find anyone named Jiang Decai.

"Brother Defu, do you think Brother Decai didn't come here?"

After searching for the past few days and not finding anyone, Shi Daniu was a little confused.

"Are you looking for a mute?"

A thin man with a dark face, somewhat ragged clothes suddenly appeared in front of them and asked.

"have you seen?"

Jiang Defu looked at the man.

The man stared closely at the bag in Shi Daniu's hand.

"Bring him two pancakes!"

Jiang Defu ordered Shi Daniu.

Shi Daniu was confused, but still obediently took out two pancakes and gave them to the man.

The man took the pancake and quickly wolfed it down. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good meal in a few days.

Seeing that he was choking after eating, Jiang Defu ordered Shi Changsheng to pour him some water.

The man drank some water before he recovered.

"Didn't you say you've seen a mute?"

Shi Changsheng asked directly, worried that this person was cheating.

"Well, I met a mute... He also wanted to come over when I was looking for a job, but he didn't speak. Then he got anxious and kept fussing, and the foreman didn't want him!"

The man said after regaining his composure.

"Where is he now?"

Jiang Defu asked, and asked Shi Daniu to give him two pancakes.

"I...I met him at the labor market. When the foreman was recruiting people, he couldn't speak, so I noticed him. Anyway, when I was recruited, he was still waiting there. I don't know anymore now. …”

The man took another bite of the pancake and said.

"Are you dead here now?"

Jiang Defu looked at the man and said.

He said he was alive, but it looked like he hadn't eaten much for at least a day or two. If his prediction was correct, this person should be dead.

"I...I worked for a whole day, but they thought I was not strong enough to lift the coal frame, so they didn't...don't want me anymore!"

The man said calmly.

"You take us to find that person and give you five cakes. What do you think if we find 10 cakes?"

"Okay! I...I'm holding my things!"

The man said excitedly.

He hasn't eaten for two days. No one is using him now. He can do whatever he wants if he has food to eat.

If you have a dozen pancakes, you can wait for a while, and then you can find a job.

……

The so-called labor market in the town is actually a shabby empty place with a few shabby houses.

When Jiang Defu and the others arrived, they saw many people in tattered clothes standing there. They were all obviously coming from out of town to look for work.

"That's where I saw him that day. He couldn't speak. I was too thin. I was the only two people left in the group. Later, I also followed the foreman. He and a few older people were still here. wait……"

The man leading the way rambled.

Several people walked around but didn't find Jiang Decai.

Jiang Defu bought 10 cakes for the man and sent him away.The man was surprised and excited. After all, he couldn't find him, so he gave him 10 pancakes, which were enough for him to eat for several days.

"Brother Defu, do you think Brother Decai went somewhere else?"

Shi Daniu was very excited at first, but now he is a little depressed.

"Defu, should we look elsewhere?"

Shi Changsheng also suggested.

"Don't go anywhere else yet, wait here for a day or two before we talk!"

Jiang Defu ordered.

Since we were going to stay for a day or two, it would be better to find a place to stay first.

It's just that the conditions in this era were poor, and people were not so particular. People like this from out of town just found a shelter from the rain nearby to sleep in the open.

It was too inconvenient to sleep in the open, so Jiang Defu wanted to find someone to stay in nearby. He could also buy some things. The main thing was that drinking water would make it easier to use the toilet.

"Little brother! Little brother!"

Just as Jiang Defu led the two of them to the main street, he heard someone shouting loudly behind him in the distance.

"Defu seems to be Boss Yang who sells mutton soup!"

Shi Changsheng's sharp eyes saw the man running over first.

"Little brother, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have been looking for you!"

Boss Yang caught up with Jiang Defu out of breath.

"You want to find me?"

Jiang Defu was a little confused.

"Yes, little brother, you don't know, that thing you gave me is so useful! It's so damn useful!"

Boss Yang said excitedly and couldn't help but swear.

Boss Yang used to live in the provincial capital, and his family used to run a restaurant. Although it was not a big business, his family was relatively well-off. However, something unexpected happened, so he returned to his hometown.

Because he didn’t know how to farm, he opened a snack shop to feed his family.

He also opened a new snack shop, it has only been open for less than a month.

There are few people with low consumption in the town. He is not too clear about it. He also made fried dough sticks, which are easy to sell in the provincial capital. The business was good when he bought it, but all kinds of materials were sufficient at that time. It is not easy to buy now. Bought.

Fried dough sticks are his new variety, because without those ingredients, he can't make them well.

"Little brother, are the ingredients you prepared really alkaline noodles? I think they are different! It is so convenient. Mix the noodles directly with warm water and ferment quickly. The steamed buns or pancakes will be soft and fluffy. And those fried dough sticks, the fried dough sticks I sell are selling very well now, people from the Zhengfu compound come to buy my dough sticks!"

Boss Yang talks eloquently.

"Just use it well! By the way, Boss Yang, we need to stay here for two days. Do you have a place here? We can pay you for accommodation."

Jiang Defu asked with a smile.

Boss Yang has a lot of connections, and they are worried about having no place to live, so they can just ask him to help them find it!
"You don't have a place to live? What's the problem? Let me tell you, our house is not small, so just live in our house."

As soon as Boss Yang heard that they were looking for a house, he enthusiastically pulled them to his home.

The couple had three children, and they were not very well dressed. Jiang Defu thought that their residence would not be too spacious, so there was no need to disturb them.

But when they arrived at the door of Boss Yang's house, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Boss Yang’s house is really luxurious!
It turned out to be a large courtyard with more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard.

Even if this is not an absolutely wealthy family in the town, it is at least considered a wealthy family, at least at the level of a landlord.

"Boss Yang, your family is so wealthy? This house is too big!"

Jiang Defu couldn't help but look at Boss Yang. The family was dressed in shabby and shabby clothes, and he and his wife were making snacks with their children. Life was not easy, and he didn't expect that he was a hidden rich man!
"What do you call this big? It's just a few small houses! Let me tell you, the houses in our provincial capital are much bigger than this! Now I am also in a state of poverty. I can only survive, I can only survive!"

Boss Yang said nonchalantly.
