Zhao Jie saw a group of people gathered there, pointing and whispering.

He stormed over,

"What are you all doing? What are you all doing? Instead of working, what are you all doing here gossiping about?"

"Captain Zhao, look, a strongman has come today. Look how capable he is."

Following the direction the finger pointed, Zhao Jie blinked, momentarily thinking there was something wrong with his eyes.

All that could be seen was a tall young man carrying an enormous rock on his shoulder, a rock that looked to weigh at least 80 kilograms.

If you were to carry a sack, it might weigh two or three hundred pounds, and you could probably carry it more than enough.

But those were stones, stones with sharp edges and corners, unlike sacks that you can carry on your shoulder and walk straight.

Carrying this stone on your shoulder requires far more effort than carrying a normal 80-pound weight.

But this young man not only carried the stone on his shoulders, but also walked with ease.

It's obvious that this hasn't reached their limit yet.

Zhao Jie's eyes lit up. He rarely saw a young man with such strength. He was also excited to see how hard this young man worked.

He swept around everyone in the vicinity, and under his piercing gaze, each person quickly went back to their work.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Zhao Jie strode after them.

Watching the young man walk lightly and quickly forward, he soon placed the large rock directly onto the scale.

The scorekeeper glanced at the scale and nodded.

"92 jin!"

"Jiang Tiecheng, you're amazing! You've already lifted 400 jin on your third trip."

"Move it one more time, and you'll be able to finish your tasks for today this morning!"

"If your captain knew how capable you were, he'd probably complain to you that he'd been ripped off."

Jiang Tiecheng smiled.

"It's nothing. When I'm at home, I just have a lot of strength but nothing else."

Zhao Jie stepped forward.

"Your name is Jiang Tiecheng?"

Jiang Tiecheng turned around and saw that it was Captain Zhao, and he knew exactly what was going on.

"They're definitely after my strength," he said with a smile.

"Captain Zhao, my name is Jiang Tiecheng, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

He squeezed the kid's arm; it wasn't particularly thick, but where did this kid get such strength?

"Captain Zhao, I'll get to work now, you go ahead with your work."

Jiang Tiecheng turned and left without saying a word to Captain Zhao, which made Captain Zhao anxious and hurriedly call him back.

"Xiao Jiang, don't go."

"Captain, what's up?"

Jiang Tiecheng's lips curled into a smile.

"I actually have something to tell you."

“You’ve wasted your energy working here. Come with me, and I’ll find you a new job.”

I guarantee you won't lose out.

Zhao Jie practically dragged Jiang Tiecheng along for about 1km before arriving at another area, which was different from the area where they were building houses.

They must be laying the foundation here.

Besides laying the foundation, the next step is to install underground pipelines here.

These cement pipes are so thick and large.

There's no problem with a person standing inside a cement pipe.

Most importantly, the height is not a problem. If it is at this height, two or three people could easily crawl inside the concrete pipe.

I saw teams of workers carrying the pipe to its destination in pairs, using carrying poles and ropes.

Each pipe this thick requires eight to ten workers to carry it, and they are all strong men.

In such cold weather, everyone was shirtless and drenched in sweat, so you can imagine how heavy this thing was.

Zhao Jie pulled him over, and there he saw a burly man blowing a whistle.

With his whistle, people moved forward step by step.

Everyone walks in unison, which makes the pipe move very quickly.

Upon seeing Zhao Jie approach, the burly man immediately patted the young man beside him and turned to walk over.

"Old Zhao, what brings you here? Why are you causing trouble when you should be busy with your own things?"

Zhao Jie patted Jiang Tiecheng on the shoulder.

"I've brought you someone!"

"Who is it? This kid?"

What does that mean? It means you have strength, right? If you have strength, fine, I'll keep everything you have.

The burly man sized up Jiang Tiecheng.

"How many kilograms can you lift in one go, kid?"

Jiang Tiecheng looked at the tube. In fact, he still didn't know how much power his 300% strength could actually generate.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"Captain, actually I don't know either, but I'll give it a try."

What he wants is not just 36 jin of flour a month.

"Wow, you're pretty good, kid. You're really something. Let's give it a try."

When a group of people heard that they were going to test their strength, they immediately gathered around.

A tall, burly man walked up, patted the tall man next to him with a smug grin, and said...

"Kid, this is the strongest guy around here. If you can beat him, you'll be our captain from now on."

"Here, whoever is the strongest gets to call the shots."

Zhao Jie chuckled.

"Yes, he's right. Here, whoever does the work best gets the final say. That's how these team leaders are chosen."

On this construction site, whoever is the strongest gets to call the shots.

I'm telling you in advance, if you become a squad leader, you'll not only get 36 jin of wheat flour a month, but also a monthly salary of 28.5 yuan and 50 jin of grain coupons.

You think about it, kid.

Zhao Jie had finally managed to pick out a general among the dwarfs, and he wanted to see what this kid was capable of.

Jiang Tiecheng walked up to the cement pipe in front of him. This section of cement pipe was relatively short and narrow, and it could be lifted by four strong men.
