Chapter 13 Just Employed and Unemployed
After wandering around the dock, she was so hungry that Sun Dan could no longer help. She spent a penny to buy a steamed bun, sat on the stone steps of the dock, and started eating in a small mouth of the river. Not to mention, the ancient river water was quite sweet because it was not polluted. There were also many women who were washing rice and vegetables by the river, and they wanted to drink it and would not get sick.
It was only sweet to eat, and suddenly, a large group of ducks floated upstream, and the number was as many as two or three thousand.
Thousands of ducks crossed the river, stirring up a pool of muddy water. The river that was still clear just now changed immediately. A layer of duck feather floated on the water, rising and falling in the foam.
Sun Dan immediately lost his appetite, secretly screamed bad luck, and got up to leave. But he saw the middle-aged man driving the duck leaning on the dock, holding a bamboo pole and shouting at the person who was taking care of the work on the dock: "I lack a duck husband here, who wants to do it? Fifty-month a day. Go to Yanzhou for a month."
The number fifty-text is a strong temptation for Sun Dan now. He has worked a lot in the countryside when he was a child. It is not bad to go to Yanzhou. You can get one or two or five thousand silver in a month, saving money and eating for three or five months. Besides, after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he has never been to Zouping. If you have such an opportunity to go out and open your horizons, it is naturally unlucky.
"I'll go, I'll go." Sun Dan naturally refused to miss the opportunity, and without waiting for others to speak, he jumped onto the boat.
Because the movement was a little bigger, the boat shook violently and almost shook the boss of the duck off the boat.
Sun Dan quickly reached out and supported him: "Boss, be careful."
"Well, young man, you're really frizzy." The duck boss stabilized his body and looked up and down at Sun Dan, "Have you let the duck go before?"
"Of course, I've worked for many years. I said, boss, what are you doing in Yanzhou?" Sun Dan took the bamboo pole in his hand and quickly put the duck on the boat.
"Selling ducks, someone from Yanzhou ordered my duck and wanted to send it to someone." The boss explained that ducks are the most stingy. If you take the land route, you will die on the road and you will have to lose weight. It is better to let them go with the water. The ducks are eating fish and shrimps in the river while walking. When they arrive at the ground, they will not only not die, but they will grow a lot of meat. Originally, he had a duck husband under his command. Unfortunately, the duck husband suffered a cold some time ago and could not go there. Yanzhou was urging him tightly, and there was no way, so he could only go alone. The problem is that the boss is old and has no choice but to go there. He can't do it alone, so he wants to recruit a short-term worker at the dock to deal with this job.
Boss: "Brother, my business is very important. You really know how to release ducks. Don't let them go halfway."
"Don't worry, you'll know when I'll let it go." Sun Dan smiled slightly, made a "giggle" sound, and quickly gathered the ducks scattered in the river.
"Hey, it's not bad, I'll use you." The boss slapped his thigh: "Young man is a city man. When can you go with me? Don't worry, you can't lose a penny for your salary. I can give you half of it."
"Yes, I live in the city and there is no one else at home. If the boss really wants to use me, he can leave immediately." Seeing that the boss hired him, Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly hesitated in his heart. It took a month to go to Yanzhou. A month later, the boy's examination should start, so where can I still have time to study?
But it would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity to make money.
Should I go or not?
While hesitating, the duck boss leaned the boat back to the dock without saying a word, and jumped ashore in one step: "Brother, help me watch the duck, I'll buy some dry food and come back."
"Hey, hey, wait... wait..."
Looking at Boss Duck's back, Sun Dan smiled bitterly on her face.
Forget it, things have reached this point, so I can only take one step at a time. Besides, I haven’t figured out how to study in the Sun family. When I come back from Yanzhou, I can’t find another private school to get a name and then take the exam. If someone asks, I will say that I’m going to study in other places.
Waiting boredly on the boat for about half an hour, I was upset when I saw Boss Duck running back with his hands empty.
Sun Dan was a little surprised: "Boss, aren't you going to buy dry food? Why are you back?"
The boss didn't say anything nonsense, and reached out to pull Sun Dan down the boat: "I'm sorry, brother, you can't go with me, please come and find another person. I'm a small place here and I can't tolerate you, a great Bodhisattva."
Sun Dan was puzzled and laughed in a low voice: "Boss, you did this inexplicably. You just said you wanted to invite me, but now you have refuted. Going back on your word will make people despise you."
The boss was probably also a person with a temperament. When he heard Sun Danyu's sarcasm, his face turned red and he shook his head: "Brother, I'm sorry for you. I didn't expect you to be from the Huichang Hou family... How dare I use the Sun family members?"
Sun Dan was even more surprised: "It's true that I am the Sun family, but what's wrong with the Sun family? The Sun family can't let ducks go, and they can't make a living? Boss, I think you are also a honest person, so you tell me the truth, who did you meet just now and what you heard from others, why don't you need me?"
The boss was even more embarrassed. He glanced at a tea shop west of the dock with the corner of his eyes and stuttered: "No... I haven't met anyone."
Sun Dan was as careful as her hair, how could the boss duck look hidden from his eyes? He looked at the boss duck's gaze and saw Sun Zhong, the manager of the Sun family of Houston Huichang, sitting behind the railing of the tea shop, looking straight over.
Sun Dan felt a little sneered in her heart, "So the boss just met General Manager Sun!"
Boss Duck lowered his head and murmured, "Brother, I'm sorry. I can't afford to offend the people of the Sun family of Hou Huichang. As long as Mr. Sun says one thing, he won't think about doing this villain's life in the future. He said he wouldn't let me invite you, you'll give it to me with a great courage, and I'll... I'll do it too."
"Stop talking, I understand." Sun Dan waved his head, "It's not your fault for this, it's causing you trouble. Goodbye."
"Brother, boy."
Sun Dan didn't want to talk to Boss Ya anymore. The moment he jumped off the boat, he suddenly felt relieved. It might be a good thing for him to not have to go to Yanzhou to delay that month, but why did Sun Zhong ruin his job? When he was in the yamen, the old man had a good attitude towards him. Why did he change his face in the blink of an eye? No, I have to ask this in person before talking about it.
Others are afraid of him, Mr. Sun, but I, Sun Dan, are not afraid.
He just found a job, but he was unemployed by a word from him. He did a little too much.
Sun Dan is a good-tempered person, but after being posed like this, no one can help but be full of anger. No, you have to ask the old man in person for this matter.
