Chapter 832 Who Is Failing?

Considering Xiao Li's reminder, Locke picked out fifty young and strong people from the tribe.

The tribe was selected the day before, and the carriage came the next day. They were taken away on the same day and sent directly to the logging team and wood processing plant in Green Forest City.

Before leaving, Xiao Li also reminded Locke that it would be best to give each of them three silver coins as a backup.

When they got there, they would definitely need to buy some daily necessities on the first day. At the same time, they had just arrived there and their wages would not be paid until next month, so they still needed money to eat.

Locke nodded after understanding the situation, and then asked hesitantly.

"Are these three silver coins enough?"

"..."

Obviously, Locke's values ​​had been distorted by the previous 100,000 silver coins. In fact, he still had a huge sum of thousands of silver coins in his hands.

Xiao Li, who had figured this out, adjusted his mood and explained quickly.

"According to the prices in Green Forest City, the normal monthly food and drink expenses of an ordinary citizen are about one silver coin plus twenty or thirty copper coins. They have employee meals, which are even cheaper. As long as they don't spend money recklessly, three silver coins are enough for them to eat for two months."

"..."

This time Locke was silent.

"Three silver coins are so many?!"

"..."

Anyway, Locke still followed Xiao Li's advice and stuffed three silver coins into each tribe member before letting them get on the carriage to Green Forest City to work.

After arriving at the place, Xiao Li quickly arranged for the fifty wood elves to join the job, and then found the manager to give a few words of advice, and then he retired. He didn't need to worry about the next thing.

On a new day, before it was fully light, there was a sound of "clang clang clang clang" outside the dormitory. The wood elves lying on the beds in the dormitory were dazed, and the captain who arranged to stay in the same dormitory with them had already woken them up one by one.

"Get up! If you delay any longer, you won't have time for breakfast!"

While the captain was shouting, he had already put on his clothes. When the wood elves heard about breakfast, they woke up one after another.

They were not unaccustomed to getting up early.

As mentioned before, they also needed to get up early to hunt in the past, and they got up earlier than now.

It was just that they were lying on the bed in the dormitory last night, thinking that they would live here in the future, work here to make money and live here, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. They tossed and turned until late at night, so they were very confused now.

After changing clothes and washing up simply, the captain quickly took them to the staff canteen nearby for breakfast.

It is worth mentioning here that although the logging team and the wood processing plant are two units, they are both under the jurisdiction of the Construction Engineering Department, so the dormitories of the two units are in the same place, and the staff canteen is right next to the wood processing plant.

Because the wood elves did not move fast enough, there was already a long line in the canteen, and they were at the end of the line.

However, the aunt in the cafeteria was very quick, and it didn't take too long for them to get their turn.

"Do you want to order the staff meal yourself?"

The aunt asked quickly after looking at the wood elf holding the plate, and then immediately added.

"The staff meal is one copper, no choice."

This price is undoubtedly a discount for them.

Although the wood elves are used to spending lavishly, they are not stupid.

There were only three silver coins in his pocket, and he spent nearly fifty coppers on daily necessities and pillows and bedding that day. At this point, it is natural to try the copper staff meal first.

The aunt listened and gave him a bowl of soy milk, two big steamed buns and a small dish of pickles without saying a word.

For the wood elves who basically eat two meals in the restaurant every time they come to Da Zhou, this breakfast is quite simple.

The taste is definitely not comparable to that of the restaurant, but it is cheap, only one copper, which makes the wood elves feel pretty good, not as uncomfortable as imagined, and even eats quite deliciously.

After all, if you think about it carefully, they eat in their own villages most of the year, which is not as good as this meal.

They are just rich and like to enjoy, but there is nothing wrong with their brains.

At present, although they can't afford to eat at Manxianglou, if they spend one copper and can eat such breakfast every day, it feels quite good.

After a simple breakfast, under the leadership of the captain, the wood elves quickly rushed to the open space to gather and call the roll.

Then the members of the logging team took the carriage used to transport wood directly to the forest outside the city to start a day's work.

At first, they didn't think there was any problem.

Isn't it just cutting trees, repairing them simply after cutting them, and then moving them to the carriage to transport them away?

They used to do this kind of work in the village.

Of course, before the morning was over, they had already realized that the intensity of work on both sides was completely different!

"It's terrible. If we were in the village, it would take at least a week to cut the wood we have cut so far."

At this moment, one of the wood elves was panting and leaning against the trunk of a big tree, and even his words were a little unclear.

Seeing this, another wood elf working in the team also put his hands on his waist, looked up at the sky with tired eyes, and doubted his life for a while.

"Why do you think we are here to work? Is it too late to go back now?"

"..."

Listening to the discouraged words of the tribesmen next to him, the wood elf leaning against the big tree was about to respond.

At this moment, the captain came over.

"What? You just cut a few trees? You can't do it anymore?"

At this time, the captain's tone was a little incredible, as if he had never seen such a weak person.

When the two wood elves heard this, they stretched their necks and stood up immediately.

"Who? Who can't do it?"

"You can't do it?"

"Not me!"

"Then you can't do it?"

"Not me either!"

Looking at the two wood elves singing the same tune there, the captain's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Being sent to lead these wood elves to work, he naturally has a mission.

Long before this group of wood elves came, the captains in charge of leading the team had already done their homework.

The elves are a race that attaches great importance to face and has a strong sense of self-esteem. In other words, as long as you stimulate them a little, sometimes it can have a miraculous effect.

At this time, facing such a scene, the captain also laughed twice.

"Well, why don't we compete? If you can do more work than me in a day, I will treat you to dinner. You can order whatever you want in the cafeteria."

The wood elves were immediately excited when they heard this.

The result is predictable. They can't compete. They can't compete at all!

Although they didn't get to have the captain's dinner, eating the food they bought themselves, the wood elves felt alive, as if the fatigue accumulated in the day was greatly relieved.

"Damn! I live for this meal!"
