Chapter 832 Who is dying?
Considering Xiao Li's reminder, Locke temporarily selected fifty young and strong people from the tribe.
The clansmen picked them out the first day, and the carriage came the next day. They took them away on the same day and sent them directly to the logging team and wood processing factory in Green Forest City.
Before departure, Xiao Li also reminded Locke that it would be best to stuff three silver coins into each of them.
When you get there, you will definitely need to buy some daily necessities on the first day. At the same time, when you get there, your salary will not be paid until next month, and they still need money to eat.
Locke nodded after understanding the situation, and then asked hesitantly.
"Are these three silver coins enough?"
"..."
Obviously, Locke's values have been distorted by the previous one hundred thousand silver coins. Go up, now he still holds thousands of silver coins in his hands.
After thinking about this, Xiao Li adjusted his emotions and quickly explained.
"According to the price of goods in Green Forest City, an ordinary person's normal expenditure on food and drink for a month is only one silver coin plus twenty or thirty coppers. And they have employee meals, which are cheaper. As long as they don't spend randomly, three silver coins are enough. They eat it for two months."
"..."
This time Locke was silent.
“Are there so many three-silver coins?!”
“…”
In any case, Locke followed Xiao Li's suggestion and gave each clan member three silver coins before letting them board the carriage heading to Greenwood City to work.
When he arrived at the place, after Xiao Li quickly arranged for fifty wood elves to join him, he went to find the manager and gave him a few words of advice, and then he retired with success. The next thing is He doesn't need to worry anymore.
It was a new day, and before it was fully light, there was a "dang-dang-dang-dang" sound outside the dormitory. The wood elves who were lying on the bed in the dormitory were confused. The people who were arranged to be in the same dormitory with them The captain had already slapped them awake one by one.
"Get up! No more time to have breakfast!"
While shouting, the captain had already put on his clothes. As soon as the wood elves heard that they had breakfast, They also woke up one after another.
In fact, they are not used to getting up early.
As mentioned before, they used to need to get up early for hunting, and they got up even earlier than now.
I was just lying on the bed in the dormitory last night, thinking that I would live here, work here, make money and live here. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they tossed and turned until midnight. I just fell asleep, so I was very confused now.
After changing their clothes and briefly washing up, the captain quickly took them to the staff canteen next to them for breakfast.
It is worth mentioning here that although the logging team and the wood processing plant are two units, they are both under the jurisdiction of the Department of Construction and Engineering, so the dormitories of the two units are in the same place. At the same time, the employee canteen is right next to the wood processing plant.
Because the wood elves didn't move fast enough, there was already a long queue in the canteen, and they were at the end of the queue.
However, the auntie who prepares meals in the cafeteria moves very quickly, and it doesn’t take much time for them to take their turn.
"Should we order the staff meal ourselves?"
Looking at the wood elf holding the dinner plate, the cook asked quickly, and then immediately added.
“Employee meals cost one copper, no choice.”
This price is undoubtedly a discount for them.
Although the wood elves are used to spending a lot of money, they are not stupid either.
I only had three silver coins in my pocket. I spent nearly fifty coppers on daily necessities, pillows, bedding and other things that day. Now that things have happened, I naturally wanted to try the one-coin employee meal first.
After hearing this, the cook aunt made him a bowl of soy milk, two big steamed buns and a small plate of pickles without saying a word.
For the wood elves who basically have two meals in a restaurant every time they come to New Year's Eve, this breakfast is quite simple.
The taste is definitely not comparable to that of the restaurant, but it is cheaper, costing only one copper. This makes the wood elves feel quite good, and they are not uncomfortable as expected, and the food is even delicious.
After all, if you think about it carefully, they eat in their own village most of the year, which is not as good as this meal. They just have money and like to enjoy themselves, but they have no problem with their brains.
From the current point of view, although I can't afford Manxianglou, if I spend one copper and have breakfast like this every day, it would feel pretty good.
After a simple breakfast, under the leadership of the captain, the wood elves quickly rushed to the open space to gather for roll call.
Then the members of the logging team took the carriages used to transport timber directly to the woods outside the city to start the day's work.
At first they didn't think there was any problem.
Isn’t it just a matter of cutting down the tree, briefly repairing it after cutting, and then moving it to a carriage and transporting it away?
They used to do this kind of work in the village.
Of course, before the morning has passed, they have already realized that the work intensity on both sides is completely different!
"It's terrible. Just the wood that has been cut so far would take at least a week in the village."
At this moment, one of the wood elves was seen panting and leaning against a tree. On the trunk of the big tree, even the words are a bit unclear.
When another wood elf working in a team with him saw this, he also put his hands on his hips and looked at the sky tiredly, doubting his life for a while.
"Why do you think we come here to work? Is it too late to go back now?"
"..."
Listening to the frustrated words of the tribesmen nearby, the wood elf leaning against the big tree was waiting to respond.
At this moment, the captain came over.
"What? How many trees have you cut down just now? Isn't this going to work?"
At this time, the captain's tone was a bit unbelievable, as if he had never seen such a good person.
When the two wood elves heard this, they stretched their necks and stood up straight.
"Who? Who can't do it?"
"You can't do it?"
"It's not me!"
"Does that mean you can't do it?"
"Not me either!"
Looking at the two wood elves singing and singing, the captain's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Being sent to take these wood elves to work, he naturally has a mission.
Long before this group of wood elves came, the captains responsible for leading the team had already done their homework.
The elves are a race that values face very much and has strong self-esteem. In other words, as long as you stimulate them a little, sometimes it can have miraculous effects.
Facing such a battle at this time, the captain also laughed twice.
"Well, why don't we compete? At the end of the day, if your workload exceeds mine, I will treat you to dinner, and you can order whatever you want from the canteen."
When the wood elves heard this, they immediately became excited. .
And the result can be imagined, it can’t be compared, it can’t be compared at all!
Although they didn't get the captain's dinner, eating the food they bought themselves made the wood elves feel alive, as if the fatigue accumulated in the day was greatly relieved.
“Damn! This is what labor and management live for!”
