Chapter 73 Hiring People to Work
"Work? Sure, sure, I can work."
Liang Heng nodded without thinking and spoke eagerly.
"One pill can be exchanged for ten kilograms of food outside. You work for me for two kilograms of food a day, no matter what kind of food it is."
"That is to say, for one pill you have to do five days of work for me."
Gu Luan said expressionlessly.
Medicine nowadays is more precious than gold.
After all, having medicine is equivalent to having an extra life.
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, only those who are sick know that it is difficult to find a medicine.
Two kilograms of food a day, even if it is soaked food, people will rush to work.
But the price she said of one pill costing ten kilograms of grain was based on the black market price.
Who made Liang Heng so rude just now and even tried to rob her?
If he didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.
"No problem." Liang Heng agreed eagerly.
Gu Luan glanced at the two of them, made sure their eyes were clear, and asked them to follow.
Walking towards the RV, Gu Luan opened the door and walked in.
Zhou Hu stood in front of the RV and could feel the warmth inside it, feeling a little envious.
People with abilities are awesome!
Unlike them, I don't know anything and it's good enough to be alive.
Gu Luan took out a box of antipyretic medicine from the space, cut off one and put it in his hand, and placed the others casually on the kitchen counter.
After getting off the RV, Gu Luan handed the antipyretic medicine to Liang Heng.
Liang Heng took it carefully and held the antipyretic medicine tightly in his hand.
"Ah Hu, please help me take it back to Hui Hui."
Liang Heng couldn't hide his joy when he thought that his wife was saved.
Zhou Hu took the antipyretic medicine, nodded to Gu Luan, then turned and left.
Gu Luan looked at the direction he ran and said nothing.
It seems that these two people live in the nearby mountains.
She didn't know how many people were on the mountain, but as long as they didn't disturb her, she wouldn't do anything.
"Girl, what do I need you to do?"
Liang Heng followed behind Gu Luan, his tone much lighter than at the beginning.
"My last name is Gu, and your job is to get ice."
Gu Luan pointed to the place not far away where he had been working just now.
Liang Heng stopped talking, walked over quickly and started working.
Gu Luan took out a coconut candy and threw it into her mouth.
She looked at Liang Heng working seriously and nodded with satisfaction.
That's right, one antipyretic pill can hire a person to work for five days.
She must be crazy to work there alone, exhausting herself.
Thinking of the supplies stored in the space, Gu Luan raised his lips, silently thanking for this rebirth.
She no longer has to live the hard life of her previous life, and can also dominate the fate of many people, although she doesn't need to.
Liang Heng was afraid of being disliked by Gu Luan, so he worked very hard.
One person cuts the ice while another carries it back and forth and puts it aside, not daring to be lazy at all.
Zhou Hu ran up the mountain with the medicine and knocked on the wooden door of Xu Hui's house.
Xu Hui's weak voice came from inside the room, "Ahem, who is it?"
"Sister Xu, I'm Zhou Hu, I'm here to bring you medicine."
After getting Xu Hui's consent, Zhou Hu pushed the door and entered the wooden house.
Xu Hui thought she had heard wrongly and tried to get up with difficulty.
"Sister Xu, this is the antipyretic medicine that Brother Liang earned. Take it quickly."
Zhou Hu quickly melted the ice and boiled water, then handed the antipyretic medicine to Xu Hui.
Xu Hui covered her lips and coughed, "Where did you get the medicine?"
“Brother Liang and I met a good person today. We just need to help her do some work and we can get the medicine.”
After Zhou Hu waited for the water to heat up, he poured it into a bowl and handed it to Xu Hui.
Xu Hui quickly drank water and took medicine, "Are you telling the truth?"
She still didn't quite believe it and was afraid that something might happen to her husband.
This place is so remote, how could anyone hire them to work?
"Of course it's true. Brother Liang has already started helping her. You can ask her when she comes back in the evening."
"good."
After taking the medicine, Xu Hui felt sleepy again.
Zhou Hu didn't stay long. He walked out and closed the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
"Xiao Hu, I just saw you running back in a panic, did something happen?"
An old woman came out of the wooden house next door. She was Master Xie’s wife, Grandma Xie.
"Thank you, Grandma. Brother Liang asked me to bring the medicine back for Sister Xu to take."
Zhou Hu told Grandma Xie softly with a smile on his face.
"Medicine? Where did you get the medicine?"
When she heard it was medicine, Grandma Xie spoke in shock.
"Grandma Xie, did you hear any noise down the mountain? Someone was getting ice. Brother Liang helped that person get ice and got a pill."
Zhou Hu explained it, but did not tell Grandma Xie that the medicine was a little expensive.
"Okay, great."
Grandma Xie's eyes were red and she raised her hand and wiped them quickly.
She couldn't let the tears fall, lest her face get cold.
"Thank you, Grandma. It's cold outside. Please go back soon! Please help check on Sister Xu. I still need to go to the mountain to chop firewood."
Zhou Hu asked grandma to thank him.
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
Grandma Xie smiled kindly and waved her hand to let Zhou Hu go to work.
This group of people escaped from Fu City together.
We suffered a lot along the way, but it also deepened our relationship.
After Zhou Hu left, Grandma Xie walked towards Liang Heng's house.
Although Xu Hui was still running a fever on the bed, a thin layer of sweat could be seen on her face.
Grandma Xie happily went to boil water and prepared to help Xu Hui wipe the sweat off her face.
Zhou Hu originally wanted to go up the mountain to chop firewood, but he couldn't help but think of what happened just now.
After hesitating for a while, he turned and ran down the mountain.
He wanted to give it a try, what if the girl was willing to hire him?
Two kilograms of food a day is not a small amount, so he and his sister try to be frugal.
Not only could we not finish it, there was some left over.
Gu Luan was sitting on the sofa, holding a medical book in his hand, and there was a radio on the table in front of him.
The radio was playing notices from various bases.
In addition to rescue, it is also about reporting the benefits of the base.
Gu Luan listened while reading, humming a song from time to time.
There was a gentle knock on the car door. Gu Luan put down the medical book, stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Zhou Hu who had returned.
Gu Luan looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Hu felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to start the conversation and was afraid of being rejected by Gu Luan.
"Hello, do you still need to recruit people? I am very capable and will never be lazy."
He stood outside the car for a long time before he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
I don’t know if I can get consent?
Gu Luan looked at Zhou Hu for more than ten seconds and said, "Okay, two kilograms of food a day. Today is already halfway through, so if you want to work, it will only be counted as half a day's work."
"No problem, no problem."
Zhou Hu was so excited that he wanted to jump up. He bent down to thank Gu Luan, "I wonder what I need to do?"
Gu Luan raised her hand and pointed to where Liang Heng was working, "Let's get some ice. Put the ice cubes neatly aside. Someone will come to collect them in the evening."
"Okay, I will do my best."
After Zhou Hu finished speaking, he quickly ran towards Liang Heng.
Gu Luan chuckled. It was great to find another worker.
Liang Heng picked up a block of ice weighing about 40 kilograms and prepared to put it aside.
A pair of big hands suddenly reached out and took the ice from him.
"Ah Hu, why are you here?"
"Brother Liang, I will also work here in the future, and I will get two kilograms of food a day."
Zhou Hule's teeth were exposed. He picked up the ice and put it aside. "Brother Liang, Sister Xu has taken medicine. She will definitely get better soon."
"Um."
Liang Heng smiled and worked with Zhou Hu.
Two people, one was cutting the ice, and the other was holding the cut ice and piling it on the other side.
I changed jobs from time to time. Although I felt a little tired after half a day, I felt very satisfied.
Because one was thinking about his wife and the other was thinking about food.
