Vol 2 Chapter 908: Car dealer (three shifts)

About to go out to study, Brother Heng was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
He got up secretly, ran to the kitchen to find food, and was caught by the night watchman.
"Shhh!"
Brother Heng told his servants to keep quiet, and brought a basket to eat, and knocked on Liu Yu's door.
Liu Yu slept soundly and was awakened, so irritable that he picked up the pillow and threw it out.
Hearing Brother Heng's voice, his mind was finally clear.
Opening the door, Brother Heng slid in like a loach.
"I can't sleep. I went to the kitchen to find a bunch of food. Come with me."
Brother Heng looked at Liu Yu eagerly.
Liu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his head until he rubbed his hair into a chicken nest.
Seeing Brother Heng holding a chicken coop, Liu Yu was finally satisfied.
He asked: "You will leave tomorrow morning. If you are not sleeping now, do you plan to sleep in the carriage tomorrow during the day? In that case, you can't see the scenery along the way."
Brother Heng was very wronged, "But I really can't sleep and I'm still hungry."
Liu Yu pinched his cheek, "There is still room on the bed, do you want to sleep together?"
"Yes, yes!" Brother Heng nodded repeatedly, finally achieving his goal.
The two brothers lay side by side on the bed, and Liu Yu was not allowed to eat anything in the middle of the night.
"If you eat it, you can't digest it. Beware of stomach pain when you get up tomorrow morning."
"Hungry!" Brother Heng said pitifully.
"Hunger, too."
There was no discussion on this matter.
Brother Heng had a frustrated expression. He touched the kitchen in the middle of the night and took a basket of delicious food, but he couldn't eat it, so pitiful.
Liu Yumeng said with his face, "Sleep well, don't think about eating. When you leave the capital, there will be plenty of delicacies from the north and south."
"Okay, okay! How much money did you bring with you? I only have five hundred taels?"
Liu Yu laughed at him, "It's only five hundred taels, and I want to eat it all over the country. Hurry up, scream big brother, I'll take you out to be cool."
"Big Brother, Big Brother, you are my God of Wealth, my money bag. When I go out, I count on you."
"If you want to count on me, you have to listen to me."
"I promise to be obedient."
"Go to bed now."
Brother Heng resisted the temptation of food and closed his eyes to sleep.
I always feel like it's dawn just after falling asleep.
Wake up in the morning, the only feeling is sleepy!
He was pulled up by his servants to wash and change clothes.
Everything was cleaned up, sitting at the table, his eyes still could not be opened.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu asked, "Did you sleep last night?"
Liu Yu said: "Brother Heng was noisy until midnight before falling asleep. Seeing this, I can only sleep on the carriage."
Gu Jiu exhorted: "When you go out, safety comes first. Be optimistic about Brother Heng, don't let him run around, don't let him be deceived."
"My son is not a fool, so he won't be deceived." Brother Heng rubbed his eyes and yawned, lethargic.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Look at what you look like, you look like a fool."
Brother Heng wrinkled his nose, aggrieved.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Hurry up and eat breakfast. After eating, you should leave. Niuniu and Brother Li will still be asleep here, don't let them know that you are going out, otherwise you will have to cry all morning, and you won't be able to coax them. "
Everyone has seen Niuniu and Li brother crying skills.
Two little kids, they are young and have a good temper. The bigger the better.
The two brothers hurriedly buried their heads to eat breakfast, absolutely not to be blocked by Niuniu and Brother Li.
When he went out, Gu Jiu was full of heart.
I am afraid that it will take two or three years to come back.
She couldn't help nagging and talking a lot.
The time for the assembly is almost here, so it can't be delayed any longer.
Gu Jiu had to watch the carriage drive out of the palace, full of sorrow.
Unexpectedly, she would be sentimental one day.
...
After sending off the two children, Gu Jiu was really depressed for a few days.
Niuniu and Brother Li woke up without seeing their two older brothers. They chased after Gu Jiu every day and asked, "Where is my brother, where is my brother?"
Gu Jiu told the two children, "Brother went to study."
Niuniu barely accepted.
Brother Li sucked his nose and said nothing, but his heart was clear.
Brothers are going out to play.
The weather is getting hotter day by day.
Gu Jiu took the two children to live in Xiaozhu in the mountains to escape the heat, and closed the door to live his own little days.
The people below are not idle.
...
The laborers of coolies under the Yuhua Lane Wharf came and went, changing countless stubbles.
On this day, it had just rained in the morning, and the weather was hot and humid.
Just standing still, without the effort of a cup of tea, I was soaked with sweat.
If you move, the sweat is like rain.
Fortunately, free tea is provided at the pier.
The tea made with Kudingcha is bitter enough to quench thirst, and it is available in unlimited quantities and can be drunk with an open belly.
In such a hot weather, I was full just by drinking tea every day.
In such a sultry and humid weather, Ma Xiaoliu came to Yuhua Lane Wharf.
As soon as I got off the carriage, sweat burst out.
There was an ice basin in the carriage, and it felt hot.
Outside the carriage, the heat was rolling.
Apprentice He Gui took a fan and fanned for Ma Xiaoliu.
Ma Xiaoliu hates that two people are close, hot. I grabbed the fan and fanned it myself.
He ordered: "Gather all the laborers together and get the two-wheeler ready."
Obey orders and blow the whistle.
When the laborers heard the whistle blow, they knew they wanted to assemble.
Hundreds of laborers gathered in the shade.
A sour smell came out.
Everyone is sweaty, and no one dislikes anyone.
Ma Xiaoliu stood on a high platform holding a tin trumpet, "I don't know if there are any old people among you who have been working for eight or nine years. If there is, you must remember me. I am Ma Xiaoliu, Director Ma."
"Manager Ma is good!"
Ma Xiaoliu squeezed out, making everyone quiet.
"I'm here today to bring you an opportunity. Whether you want to take the opportunity or not, you decide for yourself. First drag the two-wheeler up."
The subordinates followed the order and pulled the two-wheeled cart to the crowd.
The laborers looked at each other, staring at the two-wheeler curiously.
A two-wheeled car with a roof. The ceiling is beautifully done.
Sitting in the car, not afraid of the sun and rain.
The two long rods are all made of iron.
Two tie rods are welded together with a horizontal bar.
A person standing inside the horizontal bar, holding two tie rods with both hands, the two-wheeled vehicle can run.
Ma Xiaoliu pointed to the two-wheeled vehicle and said loudly: "This is a two-wheeled vehicle. It is the latest product launched by Huanyu Transportation. With the addition of a roof, you can pull customers and run across the capital. A few days ago, Beijing was newly established. He established a car dealership named Huimin Automobile Company.
As the name suggests, it is to provide convenience for the small people in the capital to travel. Many people in Beijing can't afford a horse-drawn carriage, and there is no place to raise mules, horses and donkeys, which means that many families don't even have a two-wheeled carriage. You can only travel on foot or rent a car.
It’s okay to be young and strong, but it’s not easy to get out of the door if you are older. It's even harder if you carry luggage. In order to make it easier for the people to go out, Huanyu Transport has specially launched a two-wheeled manpowered vehicle and is now recruiting rickshaw drivers. The recruitment conditions are as follows, please listen carefully. "
Hundreds of laborers commotion.
Recruiting rickshaw drivers? Means to pull the cart?
Everyone who can work hard at the wharf is a force.
Pulling the cart is definitely not a problem.
Is it just that this thing can make money?
Is it reliable?
Ma Xiaoliu spoke with his throat, and the co-workers introduced the recruitment conditions.
All those who aspire to become rickshaw drivers must undergo half a month's training.
The training content includes how to greet guests and how to recognize the way. You must memorize the name of each city and know how to go.
The price must be charged in accordance with the regulations, and no price reduction or increase is allowed.
If the customer increases the price of the chartered car, it is another matter.
For human-powered two-wheelers, the starting price is unified at five cents. Add money depending on the distance.
For example, how much does it cost to travel from East City to West City, and from West City to Xinmin County?
These will be mentioned during the training.
If you want to be a rickshaw driver, you must be innocent and have no bad habits.
Have the habit of petty theft, never hire.
People who have the habit of peeping at women cannot be hired either.
"... Give ten cents to the car dealer every day, and the remaining money is your own. You will earn more for more work. Can anyone apply for a rickshaw driver?"
The laborers whispered and hesitated.
Ten cents a day is not a small sum.
The starting price of five cents, will anyone take a car?
What if there is no one in the car at the end of the day?
What if there are only two people in the car a day?
The daily income can be seen by carrying big bags at the dock.
Going to be a coachman in a car dealership always feels too risky.
The conservative laborers retreated and dared not step forward.
There was the flexible and bold power worker who stood up and said, "I apply for a rickshaw driver."
"I also apply."
"Those who want to apply for rickshaw drivers come here to register, and the training will start tomorrow. There is no salary during the training, but three meals are taken care of."
More than one hundred laborers have applied for rickshaw drivers.
After half a month of training and eliminated a few people, more than a hundred people put on uniform red vests and began to solicit customers.
These newly hired coachmen are located in densely populated areas of the city, and they feel uneasy.
Will anyone take the car?
Someone asked them what they were doing and how to explain it?
The eyes of the coachmen flickered, and the red vests on their bodies were soaked in sweat under the sun and could not be taken off.
According to the training of the car dealership, not soliciting customers shirtlessly will make female customers retreat.
The car dealer training also said that no matter what time, you are not allowed to sit in the car.
It's for customers. The coachman sits in it. Customers don't say anything, they must have opinions in their hearts. Especially some customers who love to be clean.
The coachmen stood in the shade of the trees or under the eaves, waiting for the first customer.
"Hey, look at it, this is the two-wheeled rickshaw mentioned in the "Big Zhou Life Show". The starting price is five cents."
"Really!"
A group of middle-aged women swarmed over.
The coachmen who were on duty on the first day were all inexperienced and did not know how to react.
"Hello, how much does it cost to go to the meat and vegetable shop in Xinmin County?"
"Eight, eight cents."
"Can you pull two people?"
"Yes! But two pennies will be added."
"You have to add two pennies to get two people, which is really expensive."
"As stipulated by the dealership, we cannot be the winner."
"Fine, nothing, ten cents is ten cents. At least you don't need to squeeze a carriage with a group of people."
On the first day of work, it finally opened. The coachman cheered up and ran fast, pulling the rickshaw.
The wind blew the passenger's cheeks with a refreshing expression.
In this hot summer, you don’t need to be exposed to the sun and rain, and you can blow the air. You really have the benefit of being expensive.
Pedestrians on both sides of the street looked sideways.
"Look, rickshaw, I want to ride too."
"The starting price for five cents is not expensive, and you can take a car for two people."
"Go, let's find a rickshaw to sit in."

Calvin, the drama card is very good.
Tossing over and over at night can't sleep, and has been sorting out the next plot, and my head is dizzy.
