Chapter 131

After seeing the sunny sky above his head, Gu Zheng, who had packed up properly, scattered his semi dry hair and turned it into a braid. Relying on his memory, he came to the dock with the largest flow of people in the city, which is similar to today's mobile talent market.

Here, not only a large number of freight and passenger ships stop and transfer here, but also a prosperous employment industry with the extremely favorable terrain of the city.

The way of recruiting and looking for people in the wharf is not as professional as today's job fairs.

Although the same dense heads are crowded together, the competition on this wharf is much crueler.

Here, it is a naked war of survival. Unlike in modern times, if a unit fails to employ workers, it will always have a more suitable position.

On the dock, whether these short-time workers, who are calculated according to the number of days, work on this day means whether the hungry baby at home can eat a bite, whether the daughter-in-law who runs the day at home can wash less clothes, and whether the embroidery work on the hands of the old mother under the kerosene lamp will be relaxed for the day.

This is a contest between life and death. It can also be said to fight with life.

Now Gu Zheng is standing on such a wharf.

Looking at the man standing on the drum bag built with flood proof sandbags, a guy similar to the foreman was shirtless, wearing only a vest, waving his dark and shiny arms, and loudly summoned the workers waiting for work here.

"Unload, unload! Pay by piece, settle on the spot! There are 20 people needed, and the requirements are simple. Here, see there. One sack weighs 100 Jin. If you can carry two sacks at a time, you can pass the customs."

"First come, first served. The price of a bag of goods is a penny. There are many things to do and many to receive!"

Ouch, this is a rare good job. Because he was late, Gu Zheng, who was at the periphery of the crowd, subconsciously touched his small arms and legs... Forget it, we are intellectuals and don't do the work of these coolies.

Go to the next employer.

Well, is this a lot of gentle and handsome? It looks very suitable for yourself.

Subconsciously, Gu Zheng went to the recruitment unit where there were few people asking questions on the wharf and looked like he was going to be idle.

The decent office desks and chairs in the distance and the parasol inserted in the back attracted Gu Zheng's full attention. When he saw the big job description poked one meter in front of the recruitment point, Gu Zheng suddenly turned his feet and was as far away as he could.

Because it says, recruitment: foreign comprador translation.

After watching the impressive performance of the red light yesterday, Gu Zheng felt that if he didn't want to die before his ambition was paid, he should never get involved in anything related to foreign countries before the Allied forces of the eight powers came in.

Gu Zheng, who felt that his analysis was right, rejoiced in his wise choice after only five minutes.

I saw that this originally noisy wharf fell into a state of short dispersion after a line of red people appeared.

Those dockers and idle people who have not found work for the time being find a favorable and ornamental terrain, either under the wall or after sacks, and look at the excitement inside with great interest.

"It's said that there are foreigners' businesses here at this wharf? That's really not afraid of death?"

With the sound of a crisp female voice, the grand play that has not been performed on the wharf for a long time officially began.

Some girls in red who turned somersaults and had a great sense of appearance appeared again in the rhyming slogan.

This sudden situation of Western scenery also made the fake foreign devil sitting behind the parasol, stunned on the spot.

As a successful returnee, he followed his consul's ship and just came to this strange city. After seeing the extremely convenient inland terrain and water transportation in all directions, their leader decided to open a branch here.

As a trusted native, the fake foreign devils came here to recruit people, buy land and stand in front.

But who would have thought that he couldn't hold many people on this crowded wharf, could he?

The boy in the middle is not particularly beaten like Gu Zheng, but after a while, his powerful cry and curse turned into a wail..
