Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 16: Powerful (Pursuit)

"How do you want to compare?" the man said with a smile on his face and a look of disdain.

Xu Deyong said forcefully: "Since you are carrying a bag, let's compare how many! It's simple and direct!"

"it is good……!"

Seeing that Xu Deyong was not afraid, everyone around him was cheering and applauding without taking it too seriously.

The man didn't care at all. There was a big age difference between the two of them, and it was enough to be Xu Deyong's father.

But when everyone coaxed them together, they couldn't help but feel motivated to win: "So what if you win, so what if you lose?"

Cai Quanwu suddenly whispered: "Don't compare with him, you have compared with him."

Xu Deyong looked at him and found that he was still looking at the ground expressionlessly.

He smiled and said loudly in the face of the man's inquiry: "We all work hard to earn hard-earned money. It's a good drink when we are tired. How about one or two drinks as a bonus!"

A tael of loose wine costs six cents, which is no big deal to everyone!

Seeing that what Xu Deyong was talking about was not some random talk, everyone shouted "Okay" in unison.

The man said cheerfully: "Okay, since you, a great grandson, want to give me Niu Fen wine to drink, I won't give you face if I don't drink it."

"puff!"

Xu Deyong couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, your name is very interesting!"

Niu Fen didn't take it seriously and said: "It's easy to make a living with a cheap name. I used to be that 'dung'. But when I recorded my name, I changed it casually. When I knew the meaning of the word, I can only say that it was a good change." You have to struggle on your own to have a good life, and you can save a few strokes when writing your own name, haha...!"

Everyone laughed happily when they heard this.

Xu Deyong waved his hand and said: "Yes, I'll use the word "you". If I lose, I'll give you two or two!"

"it is good!"

"Young man is angry."

……

Everyone cheered.

Anything over a dime is not considered small money.

Before the cow could take over the task, the flour truck came from afar and it was time to start work. Everyone got up and started rubbing their hands, no longer fighting each other.

Make money to support your family, it’s hard to be vague!
Someone from the grain store came out to direct, and after the car parked, he got on the car to help carry it.

Xu Deyong put on a half-length hood that was attached to his shoulders, lined up with everyone, and was picked up one by one and carried on his back into the grain store.

A bag of flour weighs fifty kilograms, and most people carry two bags.

When it was Niu Fen's turn, he shook his arms and said, "Bring me three bags."

This is to give Xu Deyong a blow.

With three bags loaded, this guy's waist is obviously bent. He can carry it, but it doesn't last long. After a few trips, it has to be reduced to two bags.

When I arrived at Cai Quanwu, I just piled three bags on top of each other without asking. My head was lowered but my waist was straight.

This is their strength.

When you’re busy, you can get four bags at a time!
The next one was Xu Deyong. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Comrade, here are three bags."

The person in the car couldn't help but said: "Young man, this is not something to show off."

Xu Deyong said: "Thank you. If it doesn't work, I will listen to you and change it to two bags next time."

Seeing that he understood the seriousness, people said nothing more.

With three bags of flour pressed against his back, Xu Deyong barely moved.

As the saying goes: "A connoisseur will know if something is wrong as soon as he makes a move."

When the people behind Xu Deyong saw this, they all shouted "Okay" in unison.

At this moment, Niu Fen seemed to have been kicked onto an iron plate.

Liu Dezhu said in hindsight: "Hey, I just said this guy can make things happen!"

Director Ma glanced at the sound and was also surprised. He didn't expect Xu Deyong to be so capable.

Next, everyone was like the old ox pulling the plow, over and over again.

After Niu Fen made four trips, it was reduced to two bags. He didn't want to hurt his body just for two ounces of wine.

Only Xu Deyong and Cai Quanwu still have three bags that are unbeatable.

……

After unloading the car, everyone relaxed physically and mentally and started lining up to collect money.

This is the happiest time.

"How many bags did you carry?"

"24 bags."

"and you?"

……

"That Jian Sun is amazing. He can carry as much as Cai Quanwu. Hey, he's really amazing!"

"Cai Quanwu has met his opponent!"

"Niu Fen has lost twenty taels of wine money now!"

"One tael, Niu Fen didn't say two taels."

……

Everyone chattered about.

Director Ma handed out the money as if singing: "How many bags does Niu Fen have?"

"Twenty-eight bags." "Fifty-six cents!"

……

"Cai Quanwu, 36 bags, seventy-two cents."

"Xu Deyong, 36 bags, seven cents and two cents."

Director Ma handed him the money and said, "Young man, that's awesome."

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "You appreciate it."

After taking the money, he went outside, took off his hood and patted the flour off his body.

"Little brother, I'm convinced. You don't look strong, but you are very powerful!" Niu Fen gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "Come on, I will buy you a drink, two liang."

Liu Dezhu came over at the right time and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll join in the fun and keep you company."

Niu Fen glanced at him and said, "You have to pay your own share."

Liu Dezhu slapped his leg and said: "Hey, who are you looking down on? Who can't afford to drink two ounces of wine!"

Cai Quanwu stared at him without speaking, meaning don't forget our agreement.

Xu Deyong said: "Brothers, please wait a moment. Director Ma has something to ask me for. Let's go have a drink after we finish talking."

"As for the agreement with Brother Quanwu, it's still early, so it won't be too late for us to finish drinking together."

"It's done." Cai Quanwu cherished his words like gold.

When Niu Fen and Liu Dezhu heard that Director Ma had something to do with him, they naturally didn't say anything.

After a while, Director Ma paid off his wages, and Xu Deyong walked over without him having to say anything.

Director Ma smiled and said, "Want to sit in my office next door for a meeting?"

"It's up to you." Xu Deyong said.

The two entered the office. Director Ma found an enamel teacup with five stars printed on it and wanted to pour him water.

Xu Deyong said quickly: "Director Ma, you don't have to be busy. I made an appointment with my coworkers to have a drink together. They are waiting outside. Is this what you are thinking about?"

As he spoke, he took out half a pack of Huazi.

Yes, in addition to the one given to Director Ma, Xu Deyong took out nine more, leaving ten left in the cigarette box.

Director Ma was also very sensible and did not ask Xu Deyong if he still had any more. He took out fifty cents and handed it to him, smiling and saying: "Then I will shamelessly take advantage of it. Don't be too dissatisfied!"

"This money..." Xu Deyong refused.

Director Ma pretended to be angry and said: "This is a matter of principle. If you don't take it, don't come to my place in the future."

Xu Deyong naturally understood the meaning of the words. As long as he comes here, he can do any work at any time.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it. I can't let Director Ma make mistakes."

"Oh, that's right." Director Ma immediately showed a satisfied look.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

Xu Deyong asked Director Ma to stay and said goodbye.

Director Ma looked at Xu Deyong's leaving figure and thought about it. This guy was riding a three-wheeler and carrying a big bag. His family must not be rich. The young man was energetic and strong. If he introduced his wife's cousin to him...

Well, I'm afraid this guy won't like it!

After all, my wife’s cousin weighs [-] pounds even though she doesn’t have [-] pounds. It’s quite a feat to be able to eat like that these days!
Forget it, let's talk about it later.

……

Xu Deyong went out and went to a nearby tavern with Cai Quanwu and others. The tricycle was locked at the door of the grain store.

This tavern is naturally not the Hejia Qianmen tavern.

He Yongqiang and his sister-in-law Xu Huizhi were having a heated fight. Xu Huizhen was about to give birth, but He Yongqiang ignored her.

Mr. He was so worried that he couldn't think of opening the door. If someone saw him, he wouldn't be embarrassed and thrown into his grandma's house.

The four of them entered the tavern, and Cai Quanwu and Liu Dezhu ordered a drink or two each.

Niu Fen won't lose the formation, so he called four liang.

Xu Deyong only asked him to pay three taels, and he paid one tael himself. He had already taken advantage of this, and it was not easy for anyone to make both money.

Niu Fen could accept it if he paid one tael, but if he paid two taels, Niu Fen would not be in a hurry with him.

This is not a matter of six cents, but a matter of face!

Those who had spare money ordered two ounces of wine, and also some side dishes to go with the wine, such as tripe, rice rolls, and pickles.

They are all bitter and reluctant to spend two dollars to drink.

Xu Deyong couldn't stand it and ordered a small plate of pickles for five cents.

A few people also expressed their gratitude, drank some wine, ate some pickles, and enjoyed themselves in poverty!

Cai Quan didn't talk much, and he drank when others drank. He wanted to squat in a corner, but he was pulled to the table by a few people.

Of course, the main reason is Xu Deyong’s hard work!
As the saying goes: when you drink and talk about mountains and rivers, you will be like a god when you are tipsy.

This wine is not intoxicating... well, people are not intoxicated either. The main thing is that this wine is mixed with water.

There is no tavern on this street that does not have water!
After the four people finished eating and drinking, the sun was hanging in the west. They held their hands in the west and east, and their bodies were swaying.

Cai Quanwu followed Xu Deyong without saying a word. That expressionless ugly face was really a bit "scary".
