Chapter 13 The Axe and the Fly

PS: Click, collect, red ticket...be more aggressive!

During the meal, some part-time workers would chat with Zhao Yuan. In their view, Zhao Yuan was a person of status, because managing the horse gallery was much easier than the heavy lifting work. The most important thing is that management

The manor house is a job for long-term workers.

During the meal, a group of porters drove a group of ponies to the east courtyard. The porters were all given a bowl of soup without much mutton. There was no rice. They were given a few cold steamed buns from the next day and watched them drink them.

He looked very satisfied when he swallowed the steamed buns with big mouthfuls of mutton soup - the hot soup was very good for the porters who were sleeping in the open air.

After the meal, some people just took a short rest and got back into the busy work. They began to assist the porters in unloading and registering the goods. It looked disorganized, but in fact they all performed their duties, meticulous, orderly, and busy.

chaos.

At the same time, while the porters were unloading the goods, Zhao Yuan discovered that the workers led the pony in the stable to a granary, and Deaf Jia drove the unloaded pony into the stable to tie it up and feed it.

Zhao Yuan only found out after asking around when he was helping.

Wanjia not only sells some messy daily necessities on a large scale, but mainly deals in food.

The so-called grain management means that every time you go out, the grain will be transported. When you come back, the grain will be turned into goods. In this way, the porters and pony do not have to make an empty trip, which improves efficiency and reduces costs.

In Xujiaqiao, Wanjia owns more than tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland, trees and barren hills, and has more than a thousand tenant households. In addition to the grain rent paid by the tenants, Wanjia's stores outside buy grain all year round, and then gather it in Majiadongyuan.

It can be seen that the daily throughput of Majiadongyuan is extremely amazing.

It was busy until the evening, when everyone dispersed, the east courtyard was closed, and we had a quiet meal. After the meal, everyone was tired after a hard day's work. After washing up, they returned to their rooms to sleep. In the entire east courtyard, except for a few explanations,

The unchained black dog wandered around, the huge courtyard became quiet, and faint snoring could be heard.

Zhao Yuan went to bed early. This was the first time in the past year that Zhao Yuan slept without any pressure.

As soon as the sky dawned, Wanjiadong Courtyard began to boil with excitement, and various noisy sounds filled every corner, reminding Zhao Yuan that this was a busy commercial transit station.

Zhao Yuan, who got up early, followed Jia Deafzi to help.

Deaf Jia’s job seems simple, but in fact it is very tedious. In addition to cleaning the stable and feeding the horses, he also needs to record a lot of data, such as when to hand over the ponies, those ponies with abnormal feces, and those ponies who are in good spirits.

All pony horses must be registered. There are strict standards for the amount and type of feed that pony horses eat every day, and they cannot do whatever they want.

Judging from the registration book, a veterinarian will come for physical examination every three days and disinfect the horse stables.

In the next few days, Zhao Yuan had completely mastered his work process. Because Deaf Jia was a bit repulsive to Zhao Yuan and worked on his own, Zhao Yuan had a lot of free time and helped others when he had nothing to do.

The area where Zhao Yuan helps the most is in the kitchen.

There are only a few chefs in the kitchen, but the workload is extremely unstable, because there are usually only thirty to fifty people at meal time, but when the delivery porter catches up with the meal, they have to add food and rice immediately.

, because they also belong to Wanjia workers.

In just a few days, Zhao Yuan became close to the people in the kitchen.

There are five people in the kitchen, two cooks who prepare large pots of rice, two women and a handyman who cooks the fire, chops wood and carries water.

These five people are all long-time workers of Wanjiadongyuan. Two of the chefs and two women are couples themselves. People are called Chef Luo and Chef Lei. The two women are Luo and Lei. The handyman is Luo and Lei.

A taciturn and powerful bachelor named Guo, nicknamed "Guo Ax". He spends most of his time carrying an ax to chop wood on the wooden pier outside the kitchen, or squatting beside the whetstone to sharpen it.

That heavy iron axe.

Zhao Yuan discovered that almost everyone in Wanjiadongyuan had a nickname, such as Zhu Dapao, Jia Deazi, Chef Luo, Chef Lei, Guo Axe, etc. They were all easy to remember and highly personal.

At present, Zhao Yuan has not received a nickname. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Yuan is a young man who doesn't talk much, has a good appearance, and is very strong. There are often rural women who pay rent in the surrounding area who want to introduce Zhao Yuan to a wife, and occasionally they will

Some girls took the initiative to chat with Zhao Yuan. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the girls, Zhao Yuan was too dull and couldn't hold back a word for a long time. The girls were bored and gradually ignored him...



Zhao Yuan didn't know that when he was hunting in Xiaoyang Mountain, Huayun Sect's troops had already tracked Xujiaqiao, searched all the places where Xujiaqiao's homeless people gathered, and questioned some of the homeless people.

Because Zhao Yuan was taciturn and rarely talked to others, the wanderers had little impression of Zhao Yuan. The Huayun Sect's disciples did not find any valuable clues and left the next day.

Zhao Yuan naturally didn't know that he had just passed death.

The following days were uneventful, and my daily life was very regular. I had dinner and got off work at around six o'clock in the evening, went to bed at eight o'clock, and got up at five o'clock in the morning. It seemed that I had nothing to do, but I was busy all day long, without a moment of leisure.

"Axe, you don't have any family?" Zhao Yuan helped Guo Axe stack the wood. Guo Axe sat on a small wooden pier to rest and smoke, seemingly thinking.

"Yes." Guo said with a loud sound.

"Where is it?" Zhao Yuan likes to chat with Guo Axe, because he doesn't know how to ask, he can only answer.

"Xujiaqiao."

"Are you a local?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Um."

"Why don't you go home?"

"There's a fire."

"Xiao Zhao, don't ask him. Even if you ask for a whole day, you won't be able to find out anything. His house was lit with candles and was burned down. He is the only one left in the house. He is now saving money to build a house and marry a wife.

"It's a pity that everyone thinks he is poor and too boring, and the girl's family doesn't like him, but... there is a girl who is pretty good to him, but her parents don't agree..." Mrs. Lei, who came to carry firewood, let out a long sigh.

.

"oh."

"Boom!"

There was a flash of cold light, an iron ax was nailed heavily on the wooden pier, and the earth seemed to shake.

"Axe, please say good things to my parents. My precious daughter naturally wants to find a good family. You are not only poor, but you don't talk, and what do you think of others? There's no point in chopping flies with your sulking.

.”

"Cut flies?!"

Zhao Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly. He saw a fly split into two pieces on the wooden pier where he was chopping firewood.

"Xiao Zhao, when he got tired of the axe, he chased and chopped flies. We laughed at him for a long time. Later, he actually chopped him. At first, everyone was shocked. Now, we are all used to it."

Seeing the incredible expression on Zhao Yuan's face, Mrs. Lei was not surprised and walked away laughing while carrying the firewood.

"How did you do it?" Zhao Yuan was shocked beyond measure.

"I want to chop it down." Guo Ax stared at the fly corpse that was split into two pieces on the wooden pier with his bull's-eye eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Can you cut it if you want?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Yeah." Guo Ax nodded heavily.

"Teach me how to chop flies!" Zhao Yuan looked at Guo Ax nervously.

"Um."

To Zhao Yuan's surprise, Guo Ax agreed without hesitation. In fact, for Guo Ax, chopping flies was just to vent his dissatisfaction and had no other meaning. Naturally, he didn't know that this meant nothing to Zhao Yuan.

, but it is an important transformation in life.
