Chapter 766 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon(2/2)
"Uh-huh."
Zhou Sen ran to the busy No. 9 Granary.
Recently, the busiest area of Shenjiadong Courtyard is the granary, because every day many tenants bring in grain to pay rent. In addition to collecting rent, some farmers with fields and some large families will also sell excess grain to
Shen family.
At Granary No. 9, there were still many people pulling carts waiting in line.
Although there are still two months before the Chinese New Year, it is extremely cold. In this cold weather, the porters are bare-chested, showing dark and shiny muscles like steel plates, and are carrying the purchased grain into the granary.
The grain piled up in the granary was piled up like a mountain, with a height of more than ten meters. Dozens of porters were like ants moving, carrying bags after bags of grain up the makeshift ladder and stacking them neatly. Mrs. Peng did not appear.
The said carrying four or five hundred kilograms is only about two hundred kilograms at best.
While Zhou Sen was watching, someone shouted, "It's time to eat!" The porters, who were usually slow and slow, suddenly changed, and an astonishing scene appeared in front of Zhou Sen's eyes.
.
The atmosphere became heated, and a group of bare-chested men with rock-like muscles began shouting powerful chants.
The porters began to divide the work. Someone put sacks filled with grains one by one on each person, one bag, two bags, three bags, four bags... The sacks were like a hill pressing on the porters, like a mountain.
Pressing on the porter, the hunched porter tightened his muscles and walked up the sloping ladder while shouting chants. Under the heavy steps, the ladder trembled, as if it would collapse...
The efficiency has become extremely terrifying.
When encountering a place that cannot be moved up, there will be a short man covered in black, twisting the sack with both hands, shouting "One, two, three!", turning his body, and throwing it directly onto a pile of grain several meters high.
The people above just need to move their hands gently to stack the sacks neatly and neatly, with extremely smooth movements and no sloppiness.
Zhou Sen was dumbfounded.
In just over thirty minutes, the meandering queue was cleared away. A group of porters shouted again, picked up sweat towels, wiped them casually on their bodies, and put on bloated cotton coats, just like fleeing from famine.
Normally, they rushed towards the canteen where they were eating, and the birds and beasts dispersed. Before Zhou Sen could react, only the warehouse keeper was left in the bustling granary to lock the door.
"Xiao Zhou, it's time to eat, why are you still dazed?" the warehouse manager urged Zhou Sen, with a look of worry on his face.
"Uh-huh……"
Zhou Sen left Granary No. 9 a little dejected. The visual impact of the scene just now was extremely shocking. He always thought that the East Courtyard was just a bunch of bitter people, but he did not expect that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. However, these people's talents and
The potential has not been tapped and has become a means of entertainment and livelihood.
Ever since Zhou Senlu learned the skill of chopping flies with his axe, he has become very different from what he used to be. He has extremely keen observation and is able to get inspiration from ordinary things and improve himself...
After asking around, Zhou Sen found out that the short, dark, middle-aged man was the iron pillar that Mrs. Peng mentioned. He was a long-term laborer of the Shen family. In fact, most of the porters were part-time workers, and during busy farming periods,
I went home to farm, and helped the Shen family during the off-season to earn some extra money to support my family.
In the Shen family, the status of long-term workers and short-term workers is extremely different.
Usually, part-time workers are paid on a daily basis. When there is work, they are notified. When there is no work, they stay at home, and their income is not guaranteed.
Long-term workers are different. No matter how much work they do, their wages are calculated on a monthly basis. The most important thing is that most of the long-term workers in the Shen family work for a lifetime. When they get old, the Shen family will also pay a certain amount of living expenses on a monthly basis. Although it is not
There are many, but people are very envious.
Next, Zhou Sen would occasionally go to the granary to help, especially when it was busy. While helping, he would carefully observe the movements of the porters.
Through careful observation, Zhou Sen discovered that, like Lu Axe, in addition to possessing brute strength, those porters also had skill in handling, and their use of brute force had reached the point of proficiency, and brute force turned into skill.
After that, the power that exploded was extremely terrifying, and they were completely different creatures from ordinary people.
The porters were very impressed with Zhou Sen's help.
In the Shenjiadong compound, most of the easy work has helpers, even some rent-paying tenants, who occasionally help. However, no one is willing to help with the moving work. After all, this work is too tiring and dirty, and there is no trace of it.
My strength really can't help. Sometimes I miss my waist, but it doesn't help.
Just when Zhou Sen was absorbing practical knowledge like the sea, Shen Wan also came out of seclusion.
Shen Wanqing, who had been in seclusion for more than a month, had lost a lot of weight and looked bad. He was not as refreshed as Zhu and Shen Huimin had imagined after the breakthrough. Instead, he was sitting in the hall with a gloomy look on his face, holding a book in his hand, his eyes
But he didn't read, he just stared straight ahead, and he was a little distracted.
"Dad, why can't the paper dragonfly I folded fly far?" Shen Huimin held a pink paper dragonfly in her hand. The paper dragonfly flew gracefully in her hand, but unfortunately, it flew out of her palm within a few meters.
Planted on the ground.
"...Ah, I don't know." Shen Wan was absent-minded and glanced at the paper dragonfly that fell to the ground.
"Dad!" Shen Huimin said with an angry expression.
"Oh...I remember it. It's because you don't have enough superpowers. In addition, paper dragonflies are mortal objects, so naturally they can't fly." Shen Wan woke up in shock.
"Dad, is there any way to make it fly very far?" Shen Huimin jumped off the chair and jumped onto Shen Wan's lap.
"Huimin, don't bother your father. He's from a daughter's family. He doesn't do his job properly and spends all day doing all kinds of tricks. Let's see how you get married in the future." Zhu, who was doing needlework, scolded.
"Mom, I'm practicing cultivation. You don't understand. Hehe, dad understands. Dad, tell Huimin, is there any way?" Shen Huimin said coquettishly.
"It's very simple. You just need to strengthen your practice, or buy more talismans with super powers. They can also fly. Just like your high-grade flying sword, you can control the sword even with weak super powers.
