NovelEnglish240 Escorts
After putting away the crops, they bought the donkey carts. There were six young people in the village who planned to follow Wang Chuanman.
Some of them were worried about the crops, and some of them were worried about Wang Chuanman’s safety.
Everyone was ready to go, as if everything was ready.
Wang Chuanman had to prepare to transport the crops. The Wang Family’s children’s farming leave was almost over and they had to rush back to town to attend school.
“Will there be a problem with letting them transport the food just like that?” Old man Wang was still a little uneasy. “Should we hire a few more escorts from the escort agency?”
This trip should not cost them much.
Ordinary escorts usually calculated the profit according to the price of the goods.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt10% for the transport of valuable items. For food, it was usually about 6.7%.
If the 50 dans of food were all sold according to the price of one tael of silver per dan and the original price being 500 taels, the escorts’ profit would be 45 taels.
The reason why they knew such a detailed price was because Chi Tu had mentioned it.
When Wang Chuanman heard this price, he shook his head like a rattle.
“No, no, no. This is too expensive!”
Their trip was purely to sell crops on behalf of the villagers. They did not know if they could earn any money from it.
Moreover, they had calculated it according to the price of not being able to earn money. If they spent another 45 taels, wouldn’t they be making a loss?
Little Ah Yu looked at Chi Tu. “Uncle Chi Tu, are those escort uncles very powerful?”
He watched as the little fellow blinked, looking like she yearned for those escorts.
Chi Tu blurted out, “They’re just so-so.”
40 taels was the price of an ordinary escort. If they wanted to employ special transport escorts, the price would sometimes increase by more than ten times.
“Will the escorts be stronger than Mr. Chi?” Wang Wulang asked.
Mr. Chi was naturally Chi Jia.
Chi She beside him had just helped transport the crops to the donkey cart when he heard Wang Wulang’s words.
He sneered and before Chi Tu could stop him, he said, “Although Chi Jia is also just so-so, the escorts can’t compare to him.”
“What about you guys?”
“Of course they’re incomparable to us!”
“Alright, then please escort us,” Old Madam Wang suddenly said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sure-Ah? What?” Chi She reacted. The person who spoke was not Wang Wulang, but Old Madam Wang.
He was dumbfounded.
“Are you overjoyed? Look, you’re helping to pack the crops without any salary. Although you volunteered for it yourself, our family is a kind family. We always feel bad, so we’ll find you a new job.” Old Madam Wang smiled especially sincerely, and her tone was especially friendly. Before Chi She could speak, she patted his shoulder. “I think you’re all hardworking young men, unlike us lazy folks. If you have work to do, work. If there’s money to earn, work more. I think very highly of you.”
Chi She: “Isn’t that-”
“How about this? Please pick out two or three people to follow Chuanman. Everyone will be provided with food and accommodation, and we’ll even give you two taels of silver. Isn’t this much more than harvesting crops from the fields? How about it?”
Cold sweat broke out on Chi She’s forehead. “We-”
“Mr. She, please!” At some point, Little Ah Yu had arrived in front of Chi She. Her two small hands were cupped under her chin as she blinked.
Chi She hesitated and said, “...Alright.”
Chi Tu immediately took a step back. “The three of you is enough. I’ll stay at home and watch over the house. I am really envious of you. You can earn two taels of silver just by making a trip! It won’t be long before you can save up enough money to get married.”
The other three: ???
You shouldn’t be called Chi Tu. You should change your name to Chi Gou!
