132 Disturbance at the Pier
Gu Zheng, who had packed up, after looking at the sunny sky above his head, spread out his half-dried hair and coiled it into a braid, and at the same time, with his memory, he came to the dock market with the largest flow of people in the city, similar to the current mobile talent market. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Not only are there a large number of cargo and passenger ships docking and transshipment here, but there is also a thriving employment industry that takes advantage of the city's extremely favorable topography.
The way of recruiting and finding people in the dock is not as professional as today's job fairs.
Although the same dense crowd of heads is crowded together, the competition on this dock is much more cruel.
Here, it is a naked war of survival, unlike in modern times, where a unit cannot be employed, and if you transfer a few more, there will always be a position that is more suitable for you.
On the wharf, these day-to-day short-term workers, whether there is work in this day means whether the baby who is waiting to be fed at home can eat, whether the daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family for a day can wash less clothes, and whether the embroidery work in the hands of the old mother under the kerosene lamp will be relaxed for a day.
This is a contest between life and death, and it can also be said that it is a fight for life.
Today's Gu Zheng is standing on such a pier.
Standing on a man-high bulge made of sandbags to prevent flooding, a man resembling a foreman, shirtless and wearing only a vest, waving his tanned and shiny arms, loudly summoned the workers who were waiting for work here.
"Unloading, unloading! Piecework payment, cash on the spot! Twenty people are needed, the requirements are simple, oh, see over there, a sack of 100 pounds, one can carry two bags at a time even if it passes." ”
"First come, first served, the high price of a bag of goods and a penny, and the more you do, the more you receive!"
Hey, this is a rare good job, because it was late, Gu Zheng, who was at the outskirts of the crowd, subconsciously touched his little arms and legs...... Forget it, we are cultural people, and we don't do the work of these coolie sellers.
Go to the next employer.
Well, this is a lot more handsome, and it looks like it suits you.
Gu Zheng subconsciously walked towards the recruitment unit on the dock, where there were the few people inquiring and it looked like it was about to be idle.
The decent desk and chair in the distance and the parasol inserted in the back attracted all Gu Zheng's attention, and when he saw the big recruitment instructions poked one meter away from the front foot of the recruitment point, Gu Zheng suddenly turned around, and he was as far away as he could.
Because it is written, recruitment: foreign comprador translator.
After watching the impressive red light performance yesterday, Gu Zheng felt that if he didn't want to die before his ambition was paid, he still had to not get involved in anything related to foreign affairs before the Eight-Nation Alliance came in.
Gu Zheng, who felt that his analysis was correct, was glad that he had made a wise choice after only five minutes.
I saw that this dock, which was originally noisy, fell into a state of dispersion for a short time after a group of red-lit people appeared.
The dock workers and idlers who have not found a job for the time being have found a favorable terrain for viewing, either under the wall or behind the sack, and watched the bustle inside with great interest.
"I heard that there are foreigners' trading houses on this wharf who dare to appear here?
With the sound of this crisp female voice, the big drama that has not been staged on the dock for a long time has officially started.
Some of the girls in red who turned their heads and had a sense of appearance appeared once again in the rhyming slogan.
And this sudden situation in the general state of the Western scenery also made the fake foreign devil who was sitting behind the parasol and pretending to be stunned on the spot.
As a successful returnee, he followed his consul's ship, just came to this strange city, and after seeing the extremely convenient terrain to the inland and the easy water transportation in all directions, their leader decided to open a branch office here.
And as a trusted native, the fake foreign devil should come here first to recruit people, buy land, and stand ahead.
But who would have thought that on this crowded dock, his first day of recruitment would be extremely unsmooth.
When those people saw him, they not only avoided as if they had seen a plague, but also pointed at his recruitment place as if they were watching a monkey show.
The schadenfreude that seems to be the essence makes the fake foreign devil sit on pins and needles.
After seeing the fault finders in this line, he finally knew what the people around him were happy about.
It turned out that the head snake who collected protection money came.
Thinking of this, the fake foreign devil who was consciously confident stood up, and after sorting out his shirt and suit with lace, Shi Shiran stood up.
In two or three steps, he stepped in front of the leader of the red light, took off the silk gloves in his hand, and planned to give the other party the most standard hand salute.
"Ah, my dear young lady, I don't know what to call it?"
As soon as he said this, the group of red-clothed girls standing in a formation like dancing radio gymnastics on the opposite side roared and screamed in unison: "How dare you play hooligan?"
"Flatten him! Sure enough, he has been corrupted and brainwashed by the cult, and his soul has already resided in the evil spirit! His polluted soul must be washed with the pain of the skin!"
'Smack!'
An extremely crisp whip sounded in the quiet dock square.
'Whew!'
The fake foreign devil was knocked to the ground in the next second, covering his face and rolling on the ground.
It can be seen how hard this whip is drawn.
The red peony, which was almost insulted, is now apricot eyes, willow eyebrows upside down, angry eyes and eyes at the foreign dog below, and continued to smoke angrily, not only that, but also issued an even more cruel order in his mouth: "Sisters, form a formation!"
What a feud!
When it comes to ancient Chinese formations, most of them are sword formations and stick formations, which are quite magnificent and imposing, not to mention the more complex eight veins of the Qi Jing, oh, it is the Five Elements Bagua, such a profound martial arts.
But the group of girls who shined on the red light formed an extraordinary formation, there are many people, and there is no shortage of whatever they want.
The people who were surrounded didn't know what it was like, anyway, Gu Zheng, who was watching the excitement in the corner, almost didn't laugh out loud.
I know that this is a formation, and if I don't know, I think it's a hip-hop dance together, which is too weak and disciplined.
But in the end, it can't stand the crowd, right?
The kid in the middle is not as special as Gu Zheng who can be beaten, but after a moment's effort, the momentum in his mouth turned into a wail.
