Chapter 336 Come forward
"Xiao Kong! What's wrong with you? You've only been here for a few days and you've already damaged this precious wood!"
Walking towards me was a middle-aged man wearing fine cloth clothes, and you could see that his temples were already slightly gray.
"I'm sorry, Master. I will find a way to compensate you."
"Wait." Jia Anqing stepped forward and stood in front of the boy who was taller than him: "You guys are using these woods to build houses, right?"
Master Qi first took a close look at Jia Anqing. He couldn't afford to offend such a rich boy. "Of course it's for building a house."
"Hmph, you use this kind of material to build houses for people? It will break if it is dropped lightly. Who would dare to hire you to work in the future?" Jia Anqing asked.
"Oh, yes, yes, sir, you are right." Master Qi had no choice. He didn't understand why the wood was so brittle. It shouldn't be like this.
Suddenly, Master Qi seemed to remember something: "Xiao Kong! Where are your brothers? How did they process the wood? Even the carbonized lines on it are uneven."
Just as Kong Zhao was about to speak, Jia Anqing said, "Your apprentices handed all the work to a newcomer and went out to drink. Who would dare to employ craftsmen like you?"
"What?" Master Qi was also very angry. He was usually very busy and had no time to manage the store. He didn't expect such a big mistake to happen.
"Okay! I'll beat those little bastards to death when I come back." In ancient times, a master was like one's own father, and beating and scolding were considered light punishments.
Jia Anqing didn't dare to hire a craftsman from this family. He pulled Kong Zhao and said, "Hey, I want him to work for me for a few days."
"Sir, this is not possible. Xiao Kong just arrived and does not have any skills. Sir, since you are in urgent need of workers, I will let my eldest disciple bring a few people to help you. I guarantee that it will be done quickly and well." Master Qi said hurriedly.
Jia Anqing waved his hand: "I want him. If he does a good job, I will consider it later."
After saying that, Jia Anqing took Kong Zhao away. Even if Master Qi was unwilling, he did not dare to provoke Jia Anqing.
Kong Zhao looked at the man in front of him who should be younger than himself, and couldn't help but feel moved.
We are just strangers, why is he so nice to me?
Especially when I saw his white and clean hand holding my dirty hand, I couldn't help feeling shy.
After they walked away, Kong Zhao pulled his hand away and said, "Thank you, but I really can't help you. I really just started working here and I don't have any skills."
"Well, as long as you have the strength, it's fine. You can do odd jobs for others and I will still pay you." Jia Anqing really didn't take it seriously.
He is a person who pays special attention to fate, and he has a strong affinity with Xu Wenyan. Therefore, he wants to get close to Xu Wenyan, just like the skinny boy in front of him.
Jia Anqing felt that he had a special affinity with him.
"What's your name?" Jia Anqing asked.
"Kong Zhao."
"Your last name is Kong, that's quite rare." Jia Anqing walked slowly in front: "Don't just stand there, follow me, don't go back too late, my brother is still waiting."
Jia Anqing quickly found new craftsmen, a total of ten people, including Kong Zhao, a total of eleven: "You go to Sanyan Drinks early tomorrow morning. The materials you need are on the list, bring them along."
"Okay, we will be on time." The newly hired foreman was a big man with a muscular body, and looked reliable.
"Just follow me." Jia Anqing waved at Kong Zhao.
Kong Zhao walked behind him: "I won't be working today so I'll go back first."
Jia Anqing sighed and looked at Kong Zhao with a look of disappointment: "I have already told your master that you are working for me.
Why are you such a blockhead? Go back and wait to be bullied again.
Take a leisurely day, don't talk nonsense, just follow me."
Faced with Jia Anqing's dominance, Kong Zhao could only obey, but he only dared to follow behind, because he knew the gap between him and the young master in front of him.
The materials alone cost nearly ten taels of silver, and he didn't even frown when he paid. I guess he must be a young master from some wealthy family.
"Brother! I have arranged everything."
Xu Wenyan was checking Jia Anqing's accounts at this time: "Little Jia An, why are the purchase prices of vegetables in our store so expensive?"
Jia Anqing walked to Xu Wenyan's side: "Well, it's not expensive, it's okay."
"Is this okay?" Xu Wenyan hooked his neck and said, "Look, your purchase price for cabbage alone is three cents per pound.
This is ridiculously expensive, and it only costs one penny in our village."
"Ah?" Jia Anqing took the account book and said, "But the recycling prices of other stores are the same, ours is only three cents.
And if I collect them from your village, the round trip would cost more than the vegetables themselves.”
"This problem is easy to solve. We have already built a shortcut with Xujia Village. In the future, it will only take three hours to go from the village to the county.
But that will be after the New Year. It will be much cheaper if you buy from our village later."
"Okay." Jia Anqing didn't care. Since Xu Wenyan said so, he would just do it.
Kong Zhao has been checking out this luxurious restaurant since he came in. He has never been to such a place before.
And from the conversation between the two, it seems that this restaurant still belongs to Jia Anqing.
Jia Anqing, Qing'an Hall, come to think of it.
"Hey, Xiao Jia, where did you kidnap this handsome brother from? He's just a little thin." And he's a little dirty, but Xu Wenyan didn't say anything.
After hearing what Xu Wenyan said, Jia Anqing looked at Kong Zhao carefully. He was so thin now that it seemed like he was starving, but judging from the outline of his cotton cloth, he did look good.
Although I am still a little bit inferior to the handsome guy like Xiaoman, I still want to be like him.
"Brother, I found this guy to help you with the work. He was being bullied there, so I brought him here to hide for two days."
Xu Wenyan looked at it and said nothing.
Soon, Li Dezhu arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Chen Sanlin jumped off the carriage, walked straight to the counter, and looked at Xu Wenyan with an aggrieved look on his face.
Xu Wenyan took his arm and left: "Xiao Jiaan, I'm leaving first. I'll help you with the dish in the future."
"Well! Take care, brother."
Seeing Kong Zhao watching the two leave, Jia Anqing explained: "That's my brother's...husband. Don't even think about it, there are so many people chasing after my brother, it's not your turn."
Kong Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I don't think so."
"Okay, okay, let me take you to take a bath first. You are so dirty." Jia Anqing took Kong Zhao into the bathroom.
"You wash yours. There is enough hot water. I will find you some clothes."
Jia Anqing went across the street to ask Xu Wenyan for a set of clothes. Kong Zhao was a little shorter than Xu Wenyan, so the clothes should fit him well.
Kong Zhao held the clean and slightly fragrant clothes in his hands, feeling mixed emotions.
When she took off her clothes, her frail body was covered with scars of various shapes, including knife wounds and burns.
It doesn't feel like being hurt, but more like a punishment.
