During this period of time, Luo Xuan never found a suitable opportunity to make trouble.
On the contrary, I learned a lot of the local dialect... although it was of no use.
In this month, in addition to about 50 workers who were tortured to death in the camp, 117 new piglets were captured.
There were no other major events, and Luo Xuan's life was even more peaceful.
There is no rain or wind.
Actually, let’s talk about the inside of this camp.
If you can find a worker like Luo Xuan, then for many people, life will not be too bad:
Luo Xuan is responsible for maintaining more than 30 Yunnan horses and mules in daily life, and preventing them from serious diseases.
The food we ate was from a mediocre canteen. It wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either.
Boss Wanwan has always been stingy, and he probably doesn't treat his employees as human beings.
But for his subordinates, he hired armed gangsters.
Among the workers, the mysterious Wanwan boss is still willing to give some small favors to those who have special skills or outstanding performance.
To win over people's hearts.
Luo Xuan usually only treats Yunnan horses and mules, not their injuries.
If these mules and horses went out to pull jade, they were injured or sprained at this time.
And if the loss of large livestock is caused, Luo Xuan does not have to bear responsibility for it.
Those gangsters in the camp would shoot injured mules and horses on the spot!
Then in the evening, you can give extra meals to the gangsters who eat in the middle-level canteen and high-level canteen.
As for how much it costs to buy mules and horses? Gangsters never worry about this.
That big boss from Wanwan...is not short of this little money.
besides,
The only difference between Luo Xuan and the low-level armed gangsters in this camp is that they have no salary and a little less freedom.
this day,
The gangster who was promoted to the rank of sub-boss because he offered decoction to Captain Leopard ran over happily.
"Hey, Luo Xuan!"
The gangster's name is Sompashan,
I saw his face full of embarrassment, "Your good news is coming!"
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "What's wrong? Someone is going to take me to the torture chamber to experiment with new inventions?"
Songpa Shan took a sip and said, "What are you talking about! Mr. Bao is reluctant to let you go. He will use you to beat you with bamboo sticks and brush your spine with steel balls!"
"I heard that someone above noticed you.
I've heard for a while that there may be some big shot who will take you away from here."
Songpa Shan said mysteriously, "You don't know.
In fact, somewhere behind the camp, there are two really tall horses! There is a big shot there, who especially likes to use the two Arabian BMWs to compete with the high-ranking big shots in Laos...
Hehe, your veterinary skills are indeed excellent! The people above will most likely ask you to go over there and take care of those two BMWs!"
"Well, is this good news?"
Songpa Shan stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, Luo Xuan, should you thank me properly?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
He reached into his pocket and took out half a pack of 'KENT.BLUE' cigarettes, and was about to take one out.
Songpashan grabbed it and said, "Bring it to me! I can't even bear half a pack of cigarettes..."
Luo Xuan glared at him, "Songpashan, you are paid. I work for nothing every day, where can I get the money to buy cigarettes?"
It was just half a pack of cigarettes, but someone still exchanged it with me for ‘Shenglong Huohu Soup’ and then gave me a pack of cigarettes, which I didn’t even want to smoke.”
Songpashan laughed, "My monthly salary is only 150 dollars... How is it enough?
It’s not like you don’t know, what kind of things in the store in the camp are cheap? The ones on horseback are simply too expensive!”
Inside the camp.
There is a self-selected store run by a close confidant of the general manager.
Most of the things sold there are imported from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, or Southeast Asia.
The things there are really expensive.
But everyone has to buy it.
Because there were thousands of people in the entire camp, but there was only one store, so everyone had no choice.
Probably,
This is also a way for the big bosses and general managers to try their best to exploit the low-level gangsters.
Songpashan sighed, "Before, my monthly salary was only 100 dollars. I went in to buy two cigarettes, but I didn't have much money left."
"Later, thanks to you, I got the appreciation of Master Ba, and now I am the head of such a small section."
Songpa Shan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and gave it back to Luo Xuan, "I'll give you a cigarette to satisfy your craving.
The monthly salary of a section leader is 150 knives.
Every month, I have to send 50 dollars back to my sister at home so that she can study... Do you think my monthly salary is enough?"
Luo Xuan snorted coldly, "Just be content! You still have such a high salary after all. I worked for a month and didn't even get a penny."
Songpa Shan chuckled and said, "What salary do you need? Don't think that I don't know. When you want something, just make an offer."
In the camp, who is not allowed to go and buy the things you want so that you can treat their illness or exchange them for the live dragon soup in your hand?"
Luo Xuan spread his hands and said, "You are right.
But the problem is, I don’t have any medicine on hand now. In the camp, I’m not allowed to go out to pick herbs...
After a while, if I see someone getting sick, what else can I do besides just stare? I can’t give him a Thai massage instead of taking medicine, right?”
Songpa Shan was helpless, "I know this, even Master Bao knows about it.
But this is a rule set by the big boss and the chief manager. We can’t help you... Sigh."
"If you really go outside, you have to be careful."
Songpa Shan told Luo Xuan, "The area behind the Happy House is the area that Captain Tiger is responsible for. That guy is very vicious, so you must be careful!"
Luo Xuan frowned, "Master Bao has killed more than 50 people this month... Is Captain Tiger more ruthless than Master Bao?"
"How can there be 50 people who died on Master Bao this month?"
Songpashan snorted, "Actually, there were only 23 people who actually died in the torture chamber.
The other unlucky ones were all sick themselves. They were already half dead from working in the well.
Wait until they return to camp to sleep.
As a result, he fell asleep or fell down and died. How can this debt be placed on Master Bao?"
Captain Leopard tortured 23 people to death in one month?
This word "talent"... is really used very well!
Songpashan patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "Tomorrow, it will be your turn to cook in the cafeteria... Remember, get some chickens for me."
Luo Xuan frowned, "How many chickens? Can you eat them?"
The climate here is hot.
There is no refrigerator, so food cannot be stored for a long time.
If you really get some chickens to pray for, the uneaten food will go bad by the next day.
Isn’t this a waste of natural resources?
Songpa Shan chuckled, "How can I eat a few chickens? It's not because I'm short of money and I want to use these chickens to exchange for some money."
The gangster in front of me named Sompa Shan, his monthly salary is 150 knives.
With this level of income, are you still complaining?
Among the armed gangsters, the lowest salary is 100 green banknotes.
The course leader is 150 knives.
On top of the section chief, there is also a section chief. Their monthly salary is $250.
And above the section chief,
That is to say, the three captains of dragon, tiger and leopard, their administrative levels are called department heads.
The monthly salary for these people is 350 US dollars. (It’s not a typo, it can’t be written correctly)
This salary level, if placed in the mainland, would definitely be unparalleled.
But in this camp,
Except for free meals and sleep, everything else is expensive... It will definitely make your scalp tremble!
Even the cheapest pack of cigarettes in the self-selected store.
Its price is equivalent to the entire month's salary of urban workers in the mainland who have just started working...
"Okay, I get it."
Luo Xuan nodded in agreement, "But if there is any news about me in the camp, you have to tell me quietly."
Songpa Shan laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry! It's no problem.
You are like my guide bird. Wherever you fly, I will follow you, and you will always be able to catch honey...Hahaha!"
Eat eat eat... eat farts!
Luo Xuan sneered in his heart: One day, I will send you all up to the sky to fly freely!
The people who cook in the canteen are all camp workers.
This can be considered a fat position.
Just because you cook in the canteen, not only can you get something to eat, but you can also take some food with you to help those friends with whom you have a good relationship.
Picking food from the mouths of the already pitiful workers.
This is an unwritten rule in the dining hall that has been going on for many years.
As long as it is the workers' turn to cook, they will not report on each other.
The next day,
Luo Xuan is going to make two special dishes today.
"Dongshan Duck Head", and "Sweet Shao Bai".
These two dishes are definitely not for low-level gangsters and laborers who have made meritorious deeds.
——In fact, they may not like to eat these things.
Don’t think that Chinese food has conquered the stomachs of the world... It was made up by some unscrupulous people in later generations to trick people for the sake of traffic!
Wherever there is water and soil, one person can be nourished.
It is difficult for a person who has been accustomed to eating local food since childhood to change his food preferences and eating habits...
Just like this time, 10 duck heads were purchased from the canteen.
Along with Luo Xuan, most of the other workers working in the back kitchen would not touch the duck head.
Because most people here, they don’t eat this stuff at all!
So much so that in the vegetable market in the local county town, the fresh duck heads are thrown away every day...
this afternoon,
There are only a few workers eating in the medium-sized canteen. Then there are 33 guards at the bottom.
There are meals for about 40 people in total.
The rice is rice containing grains.
There is only one dish: use baby cabbage and a little bit of chicken, stew them together.
Just stew them until they are sticky.
The other three guys in the back kitchen of the cafeteria can handle such a simple mixing of vegetables.
Luo Xuan didn't need to go up to help.
Only in the evening, after all the workers have returned, will more people come to eat in the canteen.
By then Luo Xuan might not be able to care anymore and just do private work like this.
The two dishes "Dongshan Duck Head" and "Sweet Shao Bai" are not complicated to make and the cost is not high.
The raw materials in the canteen are enough to make the ingredients for these two dishes.
Braised duck head, boiled pork fat.
The dish "Dongshan Duck Head" is used to please the big boss from Wanwan.
And "Sweet Shao Bai" is aimed at the guy who was born in Bashu, the chief steward.
I just don’t know,
After working hard for a long time, can I successfully bring back the childhood memories of these two morons?
