Chapter 669 (1/2)
Li Sheng, aware of Gu's eyes, looks up from behind the counter and smiles at him.
”What do you need, sir?” he asked
Gu Yao opened his mouth and said, ”can the boss talk about it?”
Li shengzheng wants to agree, just at this time, a stranger came to the shop.
”Take delivery, boss!”
Li Shengchong and Gu GUI smile apologetically, ”my guest, wait a moment.”
Then he came out from behind the counter and came outside the store.
”Wang Jiangen, you are late today!”
”It rained yesterday and it was difficult to walk on the road, so it was late. Boss, hurry up. I'm still in a hurry to go back. ”
”Hey, you're still urging me.”
Li Sheng greets Wang Jiangen and rushes the donkey cart to the back door. He takes the clerk to count the goods.
Li Sheng and Wang Jiangen were both refugees and worked hard to earn money on the construction site.
They were the first group of refugees who bought houses and settled down. They were also the first group of coolies who left coolie and decided to do something else.
Working hard on the construction site can make money.
But you can't work hard all your life.
Now that you have settled down, you have to plan for the future.
Li Sheng contracted the restaurant.
Wang Jiangen found a job in the Sihai restaurant and worked as a delivery man. He drove his donkey cart to the restaurant and teahouse every day.
From refugees to coolies, from coolies to decent citizens in the capital, their identity changes have always been accompanied by the development of Sihai commercial banks.
Every change of identity is accompanied by the improvement of quality of life.
Just like Wang Jiangen, he could only afford to buy two houses, and his family were crowded together.
Now, he has bought five houses in the first phase.
Two and three finally have a separate bedroom, the family also has a dining room for guests.
Everything is getting better.
As for Li Sheng, he couldn't wait for his family. It is very likely that the family members have died on the way to escape from famine. Not every refugee can come to the capital smoothly.
The year before last, under the persuasion of the matchmaker, he remarried and became a father again.
His wife and children live in the first phase of Xinmin county project outside nanchengmen.
When the child was older, he decided to take over his wife and children. The first phase of the house is for rent.
When Li Sheng finished his order and returned to the lobby, Gu's table was almost finished.
He quickly came forward to say, ”my guests, how are you eating?”
”You have a good stew.”
Li Sheng laughed. ”My cook went to the rest station to learn how to make stewed pork for several months. It's no different from the rest station. All the merchants who have eaten said good
Gu Gu chuckled, ”boss, business is booming, check it out.”
”You've had a total of...”
After settling the account, Gu Gu Gu, with his relatives and soldiers, rushed to the capital.
Finally, I got into the city before the gate was closed.
The capital is more prosperous than ever.
There were so many people on the street that Gu fan simply got off the horse.
The relatives and soldiers followed.
”It's the capital. It's all concrete roads.”
”It's a smooth road.”
Relatives and soldiers laugh and talk, but they are stopped by the Yamen of Wucheng army and horse department.
”Health! Three Wen per horse. Sixty yuan for horses
”Damn it, pay for the health care, grab the money. General, we don't pay. ”
”No money.”
The Yamen soldier immediately turned his eyes when he heard what his relatives and soldiers were saying.
He's seen a lot of things like this. They're all buns who have just entered Beijing.
The Yamen servant whispered, ”the soldiers have just arrived in the capital.”
”As soon as you get to the capital, you can collect money at will? Believe it or not... ”
”Shut up!” Gu Gu gave a yell, and all of his relatives and soldiers were afraid of anger and did not dare to speak.
Gu Gu asked the yamen, ”what's the point about this health charge?”
The Yamen servant laughed, ”it seems that you are in charge. That's good! Beijing road clean enough, walking in the streets of the capital, is not particularly comfortable. How can the road be kept so clean with so many cars, horses, people and animals urinating everywhere
Gu Gu thought, ”so there's a health fee to say?”
The Yamen servant nodded, ”you are a man of understanding.”
Just then, several mules passed by.
There's droppings.
Gu was just about to ask, when he saw a man rushing out to collect feces and clean the street.
The street is dirty by excrement and turns clean again in an instant.
Gu Gu suddenly realized that he ordered his own soldiers, ”give me money!”
The Yamen took the money and gave 20 bamboo sticks.
”Here is the charge voucher. If someone asks you about the charge, you will know that you have paid. Next time you go out on horseback, remember to bring a bamboo stick. In case of charge, give it to the other party. Remember, the bamboo sticks are different every day. Don't try to muddle through with a bamboo stick. ”Gu accepted the bamboo stick and looked curious.
The Yamen took the money, registered and went to the next one to collect the money.
