Seriously speaking, Yonghua Street is a large ancient commercial street, with a main street and some small streets and alleys formed between two blocks of yards.

Of course, because of the irregular construction of the yard.Because the streets created by the courtyard also appear tactful and complicated.

Everyone divides Yonghua Street into four blocks as a whole according to the courtyards that are relatively close or together.

By default, the end near the city gate is the front street, the two middle streets are the middle street, and the back street is the back street.

Before the Lantern Festival, the place where Zhang Wuliang set up his stall belonged to Qianjie. The Middle Street was divided into two parts by the Wanwan River where lanterns were put on during the Lantern Festival. Baiyufang was on Qianzhong Street.

Because Middle Street is facing the river, it is the most densely populated place on Yonghua Street. Every day, some goods are transported by the river to the shops or small docks built along the river.

However, the goods transported along the river cannot just be placed at the dock.Therefore, Wanhe created a kind of occupation——

Porters, porters help move the things of each family to where they need them, and then charge money according to the length of the journey and the amount of things.

Porters generally move around on both sides of the Wanwan River, and occasionally take on some delivery jobs to various villages.

When they are not working, they will take a rest in an alley corner near the river, and those who need porters will go there to find them.

And that alley corner happened to be in the alley next to Baiyufang.

Zhang Wuliang came to the town this time, not only to buy ingredients for making peach blossom wine, but also to buy a big basket of fish oil, salt and small snacks, which happened to be brought back with him.

Zhang Wuliang had lunch in Baiyufang before going to the back alley to find someone.

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Zhang Zhenwen followed him and stood up: "Aren't you going to reconcile the accounts?"

"No, let's do it together next time." For convenience, all Zhang Wuliang's accounts are combined at the end of the month. This time he came to the town to buy things: "Do you have anything to bring back?"

Zhang Zhenwen shook his head: "Brother always brings back whatever the family wants."

Zhang Zhenzong because the roast duck shop needs fresh ducks every day, and the town cannot raise too many ducks.

Therefore, the ducks are delivered to the town once every two days. In the past, Zhang Zhenzong could deliver only ten ducks a day, but now it takes two people to add twenty ducks a day.After all, ducks are brought alive to be slaughtered.

Delivered in the morning, sold the roast duck in the afternoon and marinated the duck before returning to Taohe Village, the time on the road was one or two hours, and it was actually a very tiring task to carry the duck.

Thinking of Zhang Wuliang, he said: "Second brother, you usually pay more attention to see if anyone is willing to sell cattle. I think we must have a cow whether it is transporting things or plowing the fields."

Zhang Zhenwen didn't know this truth: "I know, don't worry."

Zhang Wuliang nodded, in fact, if Zhang Zhenzong didn't return to Taohe Village today.In addition, the brewing of peach blossom wine cannot wait, Zhang Wuliang can let him take the wine back with him when he goes back, but he has no choice but to find a porter.

In the back alley, there were three or five porters sitting in the shade with poles and ropes at their feet, eating dry food, waiting for business to come, when they saw someone walking this way.

Because they were not sure whether they were passing by or looking for the porter, everyone just sat there and glanced at them.

Seeing that Zhang Wuliang really stopped in front of them, he immediately put away the dry food in his hand and moved up with a pole.

"Is the boss alive? I have fast feet and great strength..."

"Boss, me too, me too..."

"Boss, I am the one with the strongest body and strength..."

"Boss, look at me..." "Boss..."

Everyone swarmed around Zhang Wuliang to recommend himself.

"Okay, okay, be quiet first." Zhang Wuliang was a little headache from their quarrel, so he had to stop it, and said his needs by the way: "I want to find someone to take a long distance to Taohe Village."

Some people hesitated when they heard that they were going to travel long distances. It costs a little more money to travel long distances.

But it usually takes more than half an hour to go for a long distance, and one or two hours for a round trip, and it will be gone in one afternoon.Coupled with the money that the employer only sent out, it would take such a long time to come back, so it would be better to just run around the town.

And still go to Taohe Village, they are people who are running around, they know a lot about the surrounding villages, Taohe Village is famous for being far away.

But there are also people who are not willing to give up: "What does the boss want to transport?"

There is nothing to hide about this, Zhang Wuliang told the truth.

Now someone has already pulled away and left, saying that it was two jars of wine.But I have to find a porter, and it must not be a small jar. Things like wine and jars are the heaviest, and it is not worthwhile to walk so much.

Just at this time, other people came to recruit jobs, and a group of people went there again. There was only one man left on Zhang Wuliang's side, who was wearing coarse linen clothes and a sweat towel on his shoulder.

In fact, Zhang Wuliang noticed the person in front of him when he first entered the alley.

Because this man is the strongest looking one in this group of porters. Among the crowd where most of them are malnourished and their development is limited, the one in front of him is obviously a stand out from the crowd.

Moreover, there is light in this person's eyes, which makes people naturally feel good about him when they meet each other.

"Do you want to take this order?" Zhang Wuliang asked.

The man nodded.

"Then come with me." Zhang Wuliang led him to Baiyufang, and asked him curiously, "Why are you willing to accept this order?"

"Taohe Village is close to my home. I can go back directly after the goods are delivered." The man said it honestly, without any concealment.

Zhang Wuliang looked back in surprise. This person is too honest. Generally, if the employer knows this situation, he will definitely lower the price.But Zhang Wuliang would definitely not do that. His family is not short of money, so there is no need to squeeze others in order to save a few copper coins.

He changed the subject: "Which village is your family from?"

"It's from Shangshui Village." The man continued to ask and answer each sentence without saying too much.

Zhang Wuliang nodded, and without asking any more questions, he took people directly to Baiyufang. There are quite a lot of people in Baiyufang, so it is inconvenient to bring people in. Zhang Wuliang thought for a while: "Wait for me here, I went in and moved things out and put them on outside."

The man nodded and stood aside.

Zhang Wuliang went in to tidy up, and came out holding the wine jar after a while. The man was a little surprised when he saw it. Like the porters in the alley, he thought it was that kind of big jar.

However, he was born with great strength, so he dared to take on this job, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of small jar just above his knees. This kind of small jar was not heavy, and even if it was sent to Taohe Village, it would not cost a lot of money.

"Boss, you..." The man's tone was hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wuliang raised his head and asked.

The man shook his head: "It's okay..." Forget it, today is considered a rest.

Zhang Wuliang thought he thought it was too heavy and was embarrassed to say so, so he comforted him: "It's okay, if we can't walk on the road anymore, we can stop and have a rest."

The man didn't speak any more, he took out the rope and started to tie up the wine jug. Seeing this, Zhang Wuliang went in and brought out another jug ​​of wine.

By the time Zhang Wuliang took out the back basket, the man had already tied up the two wine jars and turned them upside down.

"Is it okay?" Zhang Wuliang asked from the side.

The man nodded.

"Then let's go." The shop was busy, Zhang Wuliang said hello in the shop and didn't let Zhang Zhenwen come out to see it off.

There are so many people in the town, it is inevitable that accidents will happen. Zhang Wuliang walked seriously in front with his backpack on his back, and did not talk to that person. When he came out of the town, the road was looser, and Zhang Wuliang remembered that he did not know the person's name.

So he slowed down and walked to a row with him, and said, "My name is Ning Yuan, what's your name?"

"The boss can just call me Ganzi." Ganzi replied steadily, carrying the burden.

Zhang Wuliang understood that the name of the table was taken late, and most people are used to nicknames, so they didn't change it on purpose: "Then don't call me the boss, just call me Liangzi, my family members call me that."

Ganzi glanced at him, "Okay..."

Changing the name was considered acquaintance, and Zhang Wuliang began to chat with him: "How long have you been a porter?"

"dijiuz

"Two or three years." Ganzi replied.

"It's been a long time, this work is quite tiring," Zhang Wuliang asked.

Ganzi: "Fortunately, I have great strength."

"You are quite strong." Zhang Wuliang sighed seeing him carrying the two wine jars without any difficulty.

"How did you think of going to the town to be a porter? Shangshui Village seems to be quite far from Shuangwan Town." Zhang Wuliang started to interview Ganzi just like opening the Bosom Brother channel.

Fortunately, Ganzi also knew everything, and didn't feel that Zhang Wuliang had offended him at all: "In the past, the family had little food, so I came to the town to be a porter to help the family when I had no choice."

Zhang Wu nodded brightly.

Unexpectedly, Gan Zi said, "That's true, if life can be a little easier, it's okay to be kind to yourself occasionally..." Zhang Wuliang agrees with this point: "And the weather has been very good in the past few years, and the harvest in the field It will always get better."

Gan Zi nodded, and the two continued to walk forward.

Zhang Wuliang glanced at a place of cooking smoke, and couldn't help being taken aback: "There are still people cooking at this meeting?"

Gan Zi followed his gaze and shook his head, "That's burning fat."

"Ah?" Zhang Wuliang took a closer look, and it was true.

"This will burn fat?" This will make everything recover, and the hay that burns fat is actually hard to find.

And at this time, the rain is gradually increasing, which is actually not a good time to burn fat.

"Maybe I just found out." This Ganzi still knows a little bit: "The new method of burning fertilizer was spread from Taohe Village last year. It is easy to learn and fertile. Everyone has learned it this year. I didn't expect it to be here. My family Last year, it was because of the fertilizer burned in this way that this year the field produced ten dan more grains..."

Don't underestimate these ten loads of food, it's enough for a person for a year, Ganzi's words were full of excitement.

But Zhang Wuliang's expression was a little complicated. He didn't think of a simple method of burning fertilizer, which would bring about so many changes. It didn't matter how many acres of land Ganzi's family had to produce the ten loads of grain.

Since this method spread so quickly, it is enough to show that it is effective, and it is quite good.

"Has everyone in your village learned how to burn fat now?" Zhang Wuliang asked.

"I've learned it. Who doesn't want to learn such a good thing?" Gan Zi said, "It was Jiang Ding's family who started the fire before. Everyone still just had the mentality of trying it out. I didn't expect the effect to be so good."

No wonder...

Jiang Ding—the husband of Chen Xiaolan, the eldest daughter of Chen Xiaonian's uncle Mu's family...

"Jiang Ding said that this was the idea of ​​his wife's brother-in-law, a family surnamed Zhang in Taohe Village.

By the way, you are also from Taohe Village, do you know who it is? " Ganzi asked.
