Chapter 369 The Dock Worker Seems Like a Dream
"We're going on strike to change jobs!" shouted a foreman on the Bashui Pier.
After the team he led unloaded their things, they all went to get their own meals.
Another foreman shouted: "Swap, get to work."
A group of people rushed to various positions with sack pieces to take over.
Those who are organized are like this, and those who are not organized will receive a sign for each job they do. When they stop working, they will count the signs.
Such people are usually too thin or stronger than others.
Other teams don't want thin people because they will delay things.
Strong people don't want to join others and delay their own money making.
The disadvantage of being organized is that you have to give some money to the organization, and let others take away the money earned through hard work.
The advantage of being organized is that the organization will charter a boat, negotiate a price, and no one else is allowed to touch it.
When there are few ships and cargo, there is no work to be found.
Working requires not only strength, but also cooperation. It is two different things to have others throw sacks for you steadily and comfortably than to stack sacks yourself and then get up.
There are two most interesting people here at Bashui Pier, one is Xiao Wang Xiaosi and the other is named Li Daniu.
Wang Xiaosi is over two meters tall, and his whole body is covered in fleshy bumps.
Li Daniu is two heads shorter than Wang Xiaosi and is skinny.
Usually when casual workers carry out work, Li Daniu is responsible for giving Wang Xiao four piles of sacks. Although he is thin, he is strong enough to throw them up.
In other words, Li Daniu has strong explosive power.
Wang Xiaosi told him that he couldn't use his strength to throw things, but he could carry many sacks at one time.
Others carry sacks on their shoulders, Wang Xiaosi carries a board, and Li Daniu throws it on the board.
A sack of millet weighs more than 150 kilograms. The average person can carry two sacks. Carrying three sacks is very powerful.
He can carry six of them, and he doesn't stagger when walking.
Li Daniu usually throws five to Wang Xiaosi, does not give the sixth, and then carries one himself.
Two people can unload once, which is more than others.
Both of them lost their families and their land, so they became fugitives.
I have been here for just over a month this year, and I originally wanted to join the ranks of migrant workers in Lijiazhuangzi.
When they arrived at the place, they saw Qianniu guards guarding them. They didn't know if they would be caught if they escaped, so the two of them didn't dare to go there.
So while working on the dock, the two cooperated tacitly. Wang Xiaosi ate more and Li Daniu ate relatively little.
They were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to sneak past.
It was time to eat again. Neither of them knew how to cook, so they used their wages to buy rice and pickles to eat, and to drink cold water.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaosi wouldn’t be able to eat enough.
The money is in Zhang Daniu's hands. He is careful and can save some money. At least if the clothes are worn out, they have to have money to buy new ones.
He is small and can wear any second-hand clothes that other people wear.
Wang Xiaosi's body shape could not fit other people's clothes.
"Xiaosi, if you work for two more hours this afternoon, I will buy you a chicken to eat. You can't eat any meat." Li Daniu said to Wang Xiaosi.
"Then Brother Daniu, you can eat it too." Wang Xiaosi swallowed when he heard that there was going to be meat.
The two were going to buy food, and there were people at the pier who provided meals for them.
From the worst rice to wine and meat, different people eat different meals.
They had the worst food, but they had pickles.
The rice is old rice, but there is no sand in it.
Adding sand to rice when selling it is used to calculate weight, but what is the use of adding sand when cooking rice? Aren't you afraid of being beaten?
"Everyone come here to eat. It's free. You can eat whatever you want. There is meat in the soup and something made from tofu, which is dry tofu." A shout came over.
Li Daniu and Wang Xiaosi looked at each other, and Wang Xiaosi said: "I heard someone said that they don't need money to eat, but also meat?"
Li Daniu nodded: "I heard it too."
"Is it possible? Could anyone be that stupid?" Wang Xiaosi said naively.
"Go over and have a look, just in case." Li Daniu didn't believe it either, but someone else called him, so he took a look and didn't waste anything.
The two people followed the sound and when they arrived, several large pots were steaming.
The strong smell of chicken soup wafts out of the wooden barrel, making people salivate.
There were already people queuing up in front, eight rows apart.
Li Daniu pulled Wang Xiaosi and found a team with fewer people to stand at the back.
Li Daniu is also a bit shorter than others. He wants to look ahead and jump, but he is very tired.
Wang Xiaosi grabbed the waist of his trousers, lifted them up, and put them on his shoulders. The height was high enough now, and he was not taller than anyone else.
Li Daniu saw someone putting fingerprints there and then wearing a sleeveless jacket. Looking at the material, it was made of canvas.
Then he went to get a pottery bowl nearby and filled it with rice. The cook then scooped two ladles of soup from the bucket and poured it on, and at the same time gave him a pickle dumpling.
"Brother Danniu, I'm really giving you food. I saw in the soup, there was minced meat and a layer of oil on top." Wang Xiaosi's eyesight was obviously good.
"Give me back the clothes. What's the point of just pressing fingerprints? Don't sell us. I'll take a look at it later. I know a few words." Li Daniu was thinking about clothes and fingerprints.
The free food can be said to be soup porridge, white clothes, or sturdy canvas clothes. Who is so stupid?
Think about it again and press fingerprints, there may be something wrong.
"Ready-made garment alliance, what is it?" Li Daniu became even more confused when he saw the words on the clothes.
After the people in front finished following the procedure, it was the turn of two people, and Wang Xiaosi put Li Daniu down.
"Hey, I saw you were the tallest in the team just now. When you get in front of me, you're like a hill. Don't worry, we, the Garment Alliance, have already thought of a waistcoat you can wear."
The person sitting there stood up and looked up at Wang Xiaosi.
"What's going on with the fingerprints?" Li Daniu stepped forward and asked.
“When you press your fingerprint, you add your number, and you wear it on the same day you go to work. Each person has his or her own number, so don’t wear it randomly.
If there is a dispute, compare the fingerprints and see whose fingerprints belong to whom. Otherwise, some people have greater wear and tear, while others have less wear and tear. How can this be calculated? "
said the person in charge of registration.
"Don't watch anything else?" Li Daniu asked again.
"Fleeing, right? We don't care. We just provide food and waistcoats. You must wear them when you go to work and return them when you leave."
The person who registered guessed it as soon as they heard it, but they said that they were not from the government.
"Who, who said that? It's not a runaway. Why are you so nice to us?" Li Daniu wanted to ask clearly.
"Have you seen the four words on the clothes? Readymade Garment Alliance, this is called advertising. People who are literate can understand it, but people who are illiterate will be curious and ask others.
If you wear it and work on the dock, the ships coming and going will know that we are a garment alliance, and we will change our advertisements in the future. "
"I know, I just hire someone to spread the word to you, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net OK, press your fingerprints, hurry up, others will finish the rice and soup in a while."
Li Daniu understood and urged.
The two of them pressed their fingerprints and chose a number. Wang Xiaosi got a canvas vest that he could wear.
He turned around to serve the rice, and while standing there, the cook smiled and said, "You can eat it if you are a big man. Eat whatever you want. One bowl of rice, two spoons of soup, and one pickle dumpling. Serve it later when you're done."
"He eats a lot, do you deserve it?" Li Daniu always has problems.
"You are tall and conspicuous. Everyone can see you at that station. What are you afraid of if you eat more?"
The other party smiled and replied. When serving Wang Xiaosi's rice, he pressed it hard and scooped out half a spoonful of soup. If he scooped more, he wouldn't be able to hold it.
The two of them held bowls and chopsticks, squatted down in a quiet place next to them, and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
