Chapter 29
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was almost noon, and the coolies looked for a shaded place to cat.

There was a group of people, about ten or so, hiding under a big tree to enjoy the shade, chatting while waiting for work.

"The town has been very busy these two days. It seems that someone lost something. Brother Chen, have you heard?"

The man called Brother Chen, whose full name is Chen Dali, is the leader of this group of coolies.

He sat on a small wooden bench with his back against a big tree, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Hearing someone talking to him, he casually rolled his eyelids.

"I heard that the Wang family's cat was lost, and the housekeeper was leading people to look for it. It almost overturned our town, and there was no sign of a cat."

Chen Dali said with a chuckle: "If any of you are lucky enough to find the cat, you won't have to use the pier to work hard in the future."

"What's the matter, find a cat, and the Wang family will reward you with silver?" someone asked.

As soon as he made a sound, he was pushed by his companions: "Aren't you talking nonsense? That's the Wang family. Just a little bit of leakage from your fingers is enough for us to buy two acres of land, and we're short of that little money."

"That's true! That's true!"

Hearing this, the coolies behind nodded their heads in approval.

The Wang family is the most powerful and wealthy family in Qingyang Town, and their family owns the largest restaurant in the town.

Not only that, they also have several businesses in the county.

The little granddaughter of their family is even more favored by the county magistrate, and the two got engaged a year ago.

"Whoever of you want to know the news, go to Wang's house..."

"Brother Chen!"

Before Chen Dali finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice not far away.

Chen Dali turned his head and saw a young man walking towards him with a bowl and wild vegetable dumpling. After a careful look, he recognized him.

"It's a knife!"

Chen Dali straightened up and glanced at Fat Miao'er and the others.

"I think it's very lively over there. Are you bringing a few children here to sell things? The wharf is so messy. Why do you want to come here? It would be nice to go to the town."

Li Xiaodao shook his head: "There are so many food sellers in the town, when we get us, we just make some wild vegetable dumplings, sell them if we can't eat them, and earn hard money."

Li Xiaodao said, and handed the wild vegetable dumpling and big bone soup to Chen Dali.

"Brother Chen, it's already noon, it's time for dinner, if you don't mind it, just try it, it's the boy who honors you."

Li Xiaodao grinned, with a flattering expression on his face.

"Heh~ You're pretty good at it!"

Chen Dali smiled, and glanced at the big bone soup in his hand.

"I'm really thirsty, so I'll try it."

Chen Dali didn't even look at the wild vegetable dumpling, and directly picked up the big bone soup and drank it.

"Gudong! Gudong!" After a few mouthfuls, the bottom of a bowl of soup was drained.

"In your big bone soup, you can really taste some meat, but it's not a lie."

Chen Dali handed back the empty bowl to Li Xiaodao. He knew what happened to Li Xiaodao very well. He said that he sold the wild vegetable dumpling that he couldn't finish.

"What's the matter with me, kid, just tell me."

Being courteous for nothing, Chen Dali couldn't believe that it was as simple as Li Xiaodao just coming to deliver a bowl of big bone soup.

He is forthright, likes to get straight to the point, and doesn't want to go round and round.

Li Xiaodao also knew Chen Dali's character, so he didn't hide it, he grinned and said, "Brother Chen, you brothers also have lunch at noon, why don't you come to my place to buy wild vegetable dumplings, how about it?"

Li Xiaodao looked at Chen Dali nervously, with indescribable expectation in his eyes.

"You kid is doing business on my head!" Chen Dali shook his head and laughed: "You can't bribe me with this big bowl of bone soup."

After listening, the hope in Li Xiaodao's eyes faded, and he was about to say something, when Chen Dali continued: "Tell me first, how do you sell your wild vegetable dumpling?"

Li Xiaodao's eyes lit up, thinking that there was no hope, but in the end it was reversed, and he immediately said: "One penny, and another bowl of big bone soup."

Chen Dali nodded after hearing this, and said to the coolies around him without looking back: "You have all heard that the price is right here, and it's quite suitable. If you don't have lunch with you, you might as well try it."

A bowl of soup was exchanged for Chen Dali's words, Li Xiaodao was content, and did not ask for more extravagance.

He smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Chen! I am at the pier thanks to Brother Chen taking care of me. If I am successful in the future, I will never forget Brother Chen's kindness."

Li Xiaodao was young and not strong enough, no one liked to work as a coolie, only Chen Dali would call Li Xiaodao to help when he was short of manpower, and then give him a penny or two.

It's not really considered caring, but he might as well put it nicely.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Xiaodao went back.

At this time, Fat Miao'er and the others had already sold ten wild vegetable dumplings, and got ten coins.

Seeing Li Xiaodao came back, several people asked him where he was going, and he told what happened.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw seven or eight men walking towards this side. They were the coolies under Chen Dali.

"Here comes a wild vegetable dumpling and a bowl of soup."

The families who work as coolies on the wharf are not well-off, and they are reluctant to eat more. They only spend one penny each, which makes the five very happy.

Little makes more!
Compass handed the wild vegetable dumpling over, and Liu Ye'er lowered her head to take a bowl to serve soup for several people.

Seeing this, Compass rolled his eyes: "Our family's bone soup is made from the best bones, and there is plenty of oil and water in it."

"Drink more, everyone."

Compass filled another bowl for everyone, and lowered his voice and whispered: "Others buy a wild vegetable dumpling and give a bowl as a gift, but you are Brother Chen's people, not outsiders. When you come in the future, you only need to buy wild vegetable dumpling , I will give you an extra bowl of soup."

Compass thought, anyway, there are a lot of big bone soup, at worst, fill in two scoops of water, and if they can attract repeat customers, they will make money.

"Okay!" Several people are also refreshing.

"If I don't bring pancakes next time, I'll come to your place to eat wild vegetable dumplings."

"okay!"

……

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun pours on the earth, and the white clouds in the sky turn into a glowing red sunset.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the pier. After a busy day, Fat Miao'er and others finally sold the last wild vegetable dumpling.

"It's finally sold out!"

Fat Miao'er stretched her waist, swayed her body, and twisted her buttocks.

She squatted here for a day, sunbathing for a day, and she was really exhausted.

Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain, they made money.

"Let's share the bone soup!" At this time, the soup was already cold, and Fat Miao'er and the others didn't want to take it all the way back.

So I took the bowl and poured out the rest of the soup. Five of you took a sip. After I drank it in one gulp, I went back to the ruined temple with an empty bucket.

"Come on, come and count the money!" Fat Miao'er sat down on the floor.
