The people from the House-Robbing Alliance finally entered the chicken farm, and Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the labor force Zheng Shi had called over and unexpectedly found several familiar faces among them.
There were people begging at the big market that day, people from the security team, and... fortune tellers?
It seems that their business is quite extensive.
Zheng Shiyi introduced them to her, and Meng Qingyin nodded slightly, asking them to wait for a moment while she asked her friends to pick them up.
Zheng Yi was dissatisfied and pulled Zheng Shi: "Why do I feel like we are just cabbages for people to pick?"
Zheng Shibai glanced at him and said, "It's good enough to have the opportunity to be a cabbage. Why are you so picky?"
Being disliked by his own brother, but it was indeed true, Zheng Yi was speechless.
Seeing this, Zheng Shi said, "Brother, if you feel embarrassed to be chosen by someone, you might as well go back and just replace them with someone else."
Well, thinking of his elder brother, he always has the final say in the organization, so it is understandable that he cannot change his mentality for the time being.
Zheng Yi was about to speak when he saw someone coming from a distance.
Among them, there is someone he misses day and night.
Zheng Yi's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid: "Ruolan, it's Ruolan!"
He rushed to Chen Leying, his voice filled with grievance: "Ruolan, are you really so cruel as to abandon me?"
Chen Leying frowned. Why did this lunatic come here?
She ignored Zheng Yi and went straight to Meng Qingyin.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Meng Qingyin said, "Pick out the ones you like and take them away."
Zheng Yi immediately said, "I choose Ruolan!"
Meng Qingyin was speechless: "Who asked you to choose? You are the chosen one."
He was selected as a laborer?
Zheng Yi didn't care and looked at Chen Leying eagerly: "Ruolan, choose me, choose me! I'm full of strength!"
Chen Leying glanced at him and spat out two words, "Nervous."
She pointed at a few people and said, "Ten of you, follow me."
Among the people she chose was Zheng San, who had high martial arts skills and muscular body. He looked like a good worker.
Zheng Yi glared at Zheng San fiercely. Zheng San felt that the blame was on him. It was his sister-in-law who chose him, not him who chose his sister-in-law!
Why is the eldest brother taking out his anger on him?
Zheng San was in tears.
After Zheng Yi glared at Zheng San, he turned to face Chen Leying with a tearful face, trying to be pitiful: "I'm also very capable..."
Chen Leying ignored him and just took her people away.
Zheng San was in a dilemma. He couldn't leave, and he couldn't stay either!
Suddenly, Zheng Shi's puzzled voice rang out: "Strange, why is there an extra person?"
Zheng Yi quickly looked back and saw that the others had been taken away, leaving only 21 people there.
Zheng Shi quickly realized: "I didn't count myself just now."
He was a little worried. What should he do now that there was one more person?
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to speak, Zheng Yi ran towards Chen Leying with a happy face: "Well, I'm a free man now, I'll go help Ruolan!"
Zheng Shiyou scratched his head awkwardly: "My elder brother, he might be missing my elder sister-in-law too much."
Meng Qingyin found it very strange.
Chen Leying said that she didn’t know Zheng Yi at all, so why did Zheng Yi believe that she was Ruolan?
Is it because they look alike?
But even if they look similar, do they have the same personality and way of doing things?
She looked at Zheng Shi and asked, "Your sister-in-law... looks a lot like Chen Leying? Do they have the same style of doing things?"
Zheng Shi shook his head. "I don't know. I've never met my sister-in-law."
Meng Qingyin was surprised: "Never seen it?"
Zheng Shi explained it, but Meng Qingyin was filled with doubts.
Zheng Shi said that Zheng Yi was with Zheng San almost every day during that period, but Zheng San had never seen Ruolan.
Then how did Zheng Yi get to know and fall in love with Ruolan in such a short time?
And Ruolan, does she really exist?
Is she related to Chen Leying?
Meng Qingyin's mind was full of questions, and she couldn't find the answers at all.
She had no choice but to put these questions aside and continue picking eggs.
Halfway through, she put herself in "fatigue" mode and went to find Fei Qiu. He tapped her fingertips lightly, and Meng Qingyin felt all the fatigue in her body swept away.
Zheng Shi and his team have no fatigue value. When they are tired, they just take a short break and then continue working.
At noon, Blacksmith Li brought them food. Although it was a big pot, it tasted especially delicious when everyone gathered together.
It was not until half past five in the afternoon that everyone finished work and came to the door to weigh the goods.
When Lu Cheng was settling wages for the members of the House Robbery Alliance, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have that much money on hand: "..."
After he had been picking up eggs for a whole day, the people who were expecting to be paid stared at him intently, fearing that he was taking advantage of his labor for free.
Lu Cheng smiled awkwardly: "I will definitely not delay your salary, please wait a moment..."
He came to Meng Qingyin for help, and Meng Qingyin asked directly: "How much do you want?"
Lu Cheng: "They picked up a total of 1,200 kilograms of eggs. The wages were 36 silver coins, and the money for buying the eggs was 2.4 gold coins. That's 2.76 gold coins. I still have some on hand. If you can lend me 2.7 gold coins, that's enough."
After that, he asked embarrassedly: "You also want to buy eggs yourself, do you have enough money on hand?"
"Enough." Meng Qingyin transferred the money to him directly, and Lu Cheng hurried to settle the wages.
Meng Qingyin also quickly paid Zheng Shi and his team their wages. The twenty people picked up a total of 1,300 kilograms of eggs, and their wages were 78 silver coins.
Holding the money tightly in both hands, Zheng Shi felt that his back had never been so straight as it was today.
You can feel at ease spending the money you earn with your own hard work.
He sincerely thanked her, "Lady, thank you for giving us a chance. From now on, we in the Robbery Alliance will make money with our own hands."
Meng Qingyin: "Well, don't go back."
Zheng Shi promised: "Absolutely not!"
Over there, Zheng Yi didn't know what had upset him, and he kept his head drooping like a walking corpse.
Meng Qingyin guessed that maybe Chen Leying and Zheng Shi had said something that made him face the reality and feel hopeless.
Aunt Wang was also very satisfied with Zheng Shi and the others' performance today. She also told them that they could come to the chicken farm to help pick eggs in the future. The wages would be the same as today, which was three cents per pound.
Zheng agreed with great joy, and then left with a group of people.
Meng Qingyin calculated the cost of eggs.
A pound of eggs costs 20 copper coins, and the wage for hiring someone to pick up the eggs is 3 copper coins, so the cost is 23 copper coins.
But Aunt Wang’s price for selling eggs is 25 copper coins per pound, so she naturally cannot sell them at a lower price than this.
She also wants to make money, so she definitely can't sell it for 23 copper coins per pound. Otherwise, why would she bother?
