Chapter 407 What Year Is It Today! Year of the Pig
"How many detonators are left?" Liu Zhihua asked in a shouting voice.
It is now the early hours of the night, and nearby neighbors are standing in scattered groups at a distance, watching. Some of them can't stand the cold and stand where they are, stamping their feet and unwilling to leave.
The sound of discussion never ceases.
——What year is this? Why do strange things always happen?
——Isn’t it? Such a big snake, and now I heard there is a big toad.
——Last year was the Year of the Monkey and this year is the Year of the Pig.
Liu Zhihua glanced sideways at those nosy people who were frozen like dogs and refused to go home to sleep, and shouted:
"Yes, it's the Year of the Pig. You are just chasing pigs without a whip. What are you doing here? Why don't you go home and sleep? You might as well warm your wife's quilt up by someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhihua noticed the car, stretched his neck to take a look, and saw that the person getting out was Ye Xiaomei.
Thinking suspiciously - why is she here so late?
Ye Xiaomei pulled her scarf and walked forward: "Did you dig it up?"
Liu Zhihua waved his hands and said angrily: "What the hell, it's exploded twice. I don't know how deep this hole is. I told you to dig it out tonight. If you can't dig it out, I won't go home for the New Year."
This project really upset him. If it weren't for the big toad and the snake, he would have built the residential land for more than a dozen families and could have kept part of the project money in his hands.
How could he have the nerve to go home empty-handed for the New Year if the problem wasn't solved right now? Besides, his brothers didn't get their money, so many of them went to Li Dayun's side.
"Boss, there are three more detonators." someone shouted from the other end.
"Blow it up, keep blowing it up. I want to see the person alive. No, I want to see the toad alive or dead. I want to see the toad's corpse. Blow it up for me."
Liu Zhihua yelled with a red face and thick neck, taking out all his anger on the snake hole. He tilted his head and spat, and it was obvious that this matter had driven him crazy.
Ye Xiaomei looked back, rolled her eyes and said in a low voice:
"Liu Zhihua, let me make a deal with you."
Liu Zhihua raised his eyebrows and said impatiently: "You? Doing business with me? What business?"
No matter how you look at her, she is just a little girl who looks like a student. How can she do any big business?
Ye Xiaomei raised her thumb and pointed at the car: "See, big boss from the city, you have to make sure the toad is dug out alive. The boss behind will definitely give you a high price as a reward for you and your brothers."
Liu Zhihua's pupils shrank, and he looked back. The car was covered in mud, but it was obviously a new car, worth tens of thousands of yuan. The owner must be a wealthy man, but:
"Then why does the boss want a big toad?" Is he sick? That thing is poisonous.
In the car.
Tang Buci carefully rolled down the car window, but it only barely left a crack, and a gust of cold wind blew in. He quickly closed the window:
"Ah Man, go down and see what they are talking about."
Tang Bushi just wanted to get out of the car, but as soon as the door was opened a little, he was irritated by the cold wind that blew on his head, and he backed down in an instant.
Qiu Ah Mang has traveled all over the world and has experienced both extreme heat and severe cold. After all, he is not like Boss Tang who cannot tolerate any hardship.
When Qiu Ah-man got off the car, Tang Bu-ci took a breath of cold air and hurriedly urged: "Close the door quickly, this damn place is really cold."
When Qiu Ah-man came closer, Ye Xiaomei took the opportunity to say, "This is the bodyguard of the big boss inside, Xiao Qiu."
Bodyguard? Liu Zhihua's expression changed instantly. A boss who can bring a bodyguard must be a rich man. But the scar on his forehead is a bit scary. At first glance, it looks like he has three eyes.
But he couldn't help but smile as he was the boss's bodyguard and handed him a cigarette:
"My cigarettes are not good, please don't dislike them."
Qiu Ah Man didn't even look at Liu Zhihua, and asked Ye Xiaomei in a deep voice: "Miss Ye, the boss asked me to ask you if you have come to a conclusion."
Liu Zhihua had to put the cigarette into his own mouth to hide his embarrassment.
Ye Xiaomei winked and led Qiu Ah Man aside: "I will talk to your boss myself." She turned to Liu Zhihua and said:
"Just lead the digging and stop blowing things up. If anyone dies, you won't get paid."
"Okay." Liu Zhihua agreed straightforwardly, turned to the homestead and whispered - wait, dig later.
He needs to see how much money the other boss is willing to pay. After all, that thing is not only poisonous but also difficult to dig.
Ye Xiaomei got into the car and thought for a while: "Tang Buci, it's so cold and we three can't dig it ourselves. How about letting the contractor lead the digging? How about you pay for it?"
Tang Buci's pupils shrank. Money, that was the most sensitive word to him. Why did he feel like he was deceived?
Seeing his eyes full of vigilance when he mentioned money, Ye Xiaomei quickly explained: "Think about it, he wants to use a detonator to blow it up. What if he dies? Then it will be worthless. You've made a wasted trip."
Tang Buci touched his nose, turned his beautiful eyes half a circle and nodded, thinking that what Ye Xiaomei said made sense. The gas money is also money, right?
"Too."
"That's right. And after you dig it out, you are allowed to take it back, not to me. Think about it, a small black toad stone was worth more than gold a few decades ago. How much would such a big black toad king be worth now? It must be worth a fortune."
Ye Xiaomei hurriedly added fuel to the fire.
Tang Buci took a breath of cool air. Of course, it was worth the money. However, he tentatively asked suspiciously, "So you mean I have to pay for the labor? It shouldn't be much. These poor people won't charge me a high price, right?"
Ye Xiaomei pretended to think: "No, the labor cost is not high. They only get about 100 yuan a day for building a house. The black toad is poisonous, so just assume that you are a big boss with a lot of money and give each person 300 yuan a day. What do you think? The total is... um..."
Ye Xiaomei looked out the window and counted: "There are twelve people in total, and only three to four thousand yuan a day."
"That's all. Okay." Tang Buci agreed without thinking.
Thinking about the value of the Black Toad King, Tang Buci hummed happily: "If this works, I have to thank you very much."
Ye Xiaomei pouted and got out of the car. This thing was too mysterious. Even if he found it and took it back by Tang Bushi, he couldn't make it public. Wouldn't those people who had been spying on him for a long time swarm to look for him?
Ye Xiaomei also thought of Qin Xiaoyi, no, Qin Rong. Their research team was going crazy.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei's mood suddenly became heavy for a few seconds. This matter seemed to be developing in a good direction. After all, so many things about the black toad and the white snake were found out. However, as more and more things surfaced, an inexplicable pressure came with it.
"Liu Zhihua, I've told the big boss that we'll be paid 200 yuan per person per day."
As soon as Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, Liu Zhihua and a dozen people behind him stood up with shining eyes.
Everyone said in unison: Two hundred a day.
Liu Zhihua also felt that the salary was too tempting. Hundreds of dollars a day. Where could he find such a salary?
In addition, so many brothers complained before and he couldn't start work, so many people left him. Now suddenly a big boss came and offered two hundred yuan a day per person, just to dig holes, so he agreed on the spot.
Liu Zhihua thought to himself - let those ungrateful people who betrayed me and followed Li Dayun regret it later.
At this time, some people were already impatiently picking up shovels to start working. They spat into their palms, rubbed them to warm them up, grabbed the tools and started digging the soil enthusiastically.
"If we can dig it out before New Year's Eve, we'll give each person an extra 100 yuan a day."
When Ye Xiaomei said this, everyone was stunned.
