Chapter 49: Silly (Part 2)
"Niu Sansheng?"
Hearing Jiang Xia's question, Liu Laosi, who was following behind him, widened his eyes and said:
"I know that guy, Boss, why are you looking for that fool?"
"Ask him something."
Jiang Xia replied casually and then asked:
"Is Niu Sansheng famous in Fengshan Street? Even you know about it."
"Fame, not really."
The fourth brother curled his lips, stretched out his hand, pointed at his forehead, and said to Jiang Xia:
“Boss, there’s something wrong with that guy.
Half crazy.
Moreover, he has a big appetite and eats a lot. Although he can work, he can eat as much as ten people by himself, so all the foremen don't want him.
Manager Huang once drove him out, but he came back a few days later. Without anyone telling him, he went to work in the mines, not asking for any wages, just to eat.”
"Ah? So stupid?"
Jiang Xia immediately became interested and asked:
"He came back, but he wasn't chased away again? He's just eating and drinking here for free? No one cares?"
The fourth brother immediately gave an awkward smile and said:
“That guy is tough.
The manager sent thugs to chase him away, but when more than ten people surrounded him, he protected the food in his hands and did not fight back. Even when others were tired of beating him, he still had a silly smile on his face.
That guy is a little weird, boss.
Some people say that he might be a monk, but looking at his silly appearance, he doesn't look like a successful practitioner.
After beating him several times without any effect, the managers stopped caring and let him wander around Fengshan Street to fend for himself. After all, he was just a fool and posed no threat. "
"Take me to see it."
Jiang Xia said something, and the fourth brother immediately led the way.
He was standing outside the house just now and saw in full how the boss used "skills" to ask questions. Now he felt that he had learned some "knowledge" and was very happy.
The two walked through Fengshan's main street and arrived at the large shack behind the village.
Next to it was a large dining room built with wooden boards. The miners had just gotten off work and hundreds of people were crowded here trying to get food.
It's both lively and chaotic.
The smell of sweat and the fat chef's shouting mixed together, giving off a very down-to-earth vibe.
"Oh, we have braised pork today. What a treat."
Some people laughed, protected their bowls, picked up a few steamed buns, and found a place to squat and eat.
These days, the food in the mine is very good, which makes these hard-working miners, who can only eat pickles on weekdays, very satisfied.
"Don't grab! Come one by one! Who the hell dares to grab? I won't share your meat."
The chef in a tattered gown would be very proud of himself.
It was like he was commanding an army. He held a large ladle in his hand, slapped the bucket of vegetables, and scolded the miners who were crowding around. He was very majestic.
There were also some sharp-eyed people who saw the fourth brother coming and immediately came forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, are you out for a walk ?"
"Fourth brother, when can we play cards together? You were chosen by Lord Sun. Now that you are rich, you must not forget your brothers."
"Come, Fourth Brother, look how fat this meat is, try a bite too."
A group of miners surrounded him and flattered him, which made Lao Si very embarrassed. After all, he had been here for many years and knew many of them. Lord Sun had appointed Lao Si as the captain of the mining protection team.
So in the eyes of others, the fourth child has really become rich.
As for the person following behind the fourth brother, everyone was a little unfamiliar with him.
I think he should be Fourth Brother's little follower, so naturally no one pays attention to him.
Jiang Xia didn't care. He winked at Lao Si and told him to continue socializing. With Lao Si, a local tyrant, around, many things would be easy to handle. Lao Si flattered the crowd while looking around.
A few seconds later, he reported his location to Jiang Xia via the chip communication, and Jiang Xia went there.
"Niu Hanhan! Why is it you again!"
Before he had taken a few steps , he heard the fat chef's angry roar, as if scolding him, and he cursed:
"You've already eaten three bowls. You've eaten all the meat. Get out of here! I won't give you any more."
Jiang Xia looked back.
A tall man in ragged clothes was standing in front of the chef holding a large bowl. The fat chef was protecting the vegetable bucket and waving a large ladle in his hand, as if he was about to hit him.
The tall man had a "pure" smile on his face. He didn't dodge, but just smiled and handed over the broken bowl in his hand.
He was pushed out by the chef, then handed it back. He ignored the scolding and stared at the vegetable bucket with a pair of big eyes, with drooling almost from the corners of his mouth.
"No more meat!"
The fat chef was a little anxious and shouted:
"There is not much meat left in the warehouse. Even if the mining team goes hunting, it won't be enough. There are hundreds of people to eat, so we have to save some for the other brothers who haven't returned yet.
Niu Hanhan, you should eat less.
Here, I'll give you a few more steamed buns. Hurry up and leave. Don't get stuck here!"
He didn't get the meat, but four or five more steamed buns were put in his bowl, and some pickles were added. The tall man's face was full of regret. He glanced at the vegetable bucket with longing, but did not insist anymore.
Protecting the bowl, he went to the side, found a place, squatted there, carefully dipped the steamed bun in the soup in the bowl, and put it into his mouth.
In just three or two bites, the big steamed bun disappeared.
This tall guy is very interesting.
He ate very quickly but chewed his food very slowly, not like a cow chewing a peony. It seemed that he wanted to savor all the flavor of the food before swallowing it.
When others teased him, he didn't respond, as if the only things in his eyes were the steamed buns and the vegetables.
But according to the fourth brother, this silly guy can eat the food of ten people by himself, and with just these few steamed buns, plus what he had eaten before, it is definitely not enough.
He finished eating quickly, turned around to look at the fat chef, and squeezed his nose as if he smelled the aroma of meat. He wanted to ask for more, but in the end he didn't go over.
He stood up, put away the broken bowl, rubbed his stomach, and went to the shack next to the dining room.
Fengshan Street is not a big place, but it has many courtyards.
The miners working here live in rooms with more than ten people, and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Only the beggars who gather here live in shacks.
Well, that loser Jiang Shusheng also lived here.
It seems that what Lao Si said was right. Niu Sansheng was either an official miner in Fengshan Street or was used as free labor. His status was very low.
"Niu Sansheng?"
The tall guy walked out of the cafeteria and was still rubbing his belly when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
He turned around, with that innocent smile still on his dirty face. His smile was so honest, and combined with his big round face, he looked like he was not mentally normal.
"Are you Niu Sansheng?"
Jiang Xia took a few steps forward and looked at the guy, but as he got closer, he smelled a foul odor that made him cover his nose. He said:
"Why don't you speak?"
"Ah, I, yes."
The tall man scratched his messy hair and looked at Jiang Xia with confusion, as if he didn't know why this person came to talk to him specifically.
No one in Fengshan Street would take the initiative to talk to him.
"I heard you can dig spiritual stones?"
When Jiang Xia saw this man's expression, he knew that asking more would not get him anything, so he just asked directly. Niu Sansheng scratched his head.
He nodded first, then shook his head.
He flexed his fingers and said incoherently:
"They taught me, but I couldn't learn it... it was too difficult."
"Do you know how to dig?"
Jiang Xia asked again.
Silly Niu Sansheng thought for a moment and said:
"still remember."
"Okay, follow me."
Jiang Xia snapped his fingers, signaling him to follow. He took a few steps, but found that Tiehanhan didn't move. He turned around and looked at him in confusion. The latter said with some fear:
"You won't hit me, will you? They all hit me."
These words reveal some bitterness.
Jiang Xia was silent. Even in his world where material and spiritual development were highly developed, disabled people with mental problems like this would be bullied.
Not to mention the world today.
Looking at Niu Sansheng’s ragged clothes and his simple and honest nature, you can tell that he definitely didn’t have a good life in Fengshan Street .
"I won't hit you."
Jiang Xia said:
"Hurry up and follow me."
Niu Sansheng still didn't move, as if he didn't believe Jiang Xia.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Jiang Xia shouted impatiently.
This sentence was like a start switch in Niu Sansheng's brain.
When he heard there was food to eat, he immediately revealed an even more "pure" smile, holding his broken bowl, and followed happily.
This guy looked even taller when walking with Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia is 1.8 meters tall, which is not considered short.
But in front of Niu Sansheng, he was still two or three heads shorter, probably more than two meters tall. Long-term malnutrition made him look unhealthily thin.
But you can still see that he has a big frame. If he didn't always hunch over when he walked, he would look like a little giant if he stood up straight.
Jiang Xia took him back to the Huang family house.
Mrs. Niu had just prepared the meal, and Rogge and Jasmine were eating. Su and several other warriors were in the mine, supervising the monks mining, so they were not here at the moment.
As soon as he entered the door, Niu Sansheng smelled the aroma of food and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Jiang Xia pleadingly, as if asking for food.
Quite disciplined.
Know that Jiang Xia is the boss.
"Go to the woodshed and wash first."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said:
"You can't eat if you don't wash yourself clean. You're all smelly and it's disgusting. Go now!"
"oh"
Niu Sansheng did not resist and went to the woodshed obediently. Almost twenty minutes later, he came out with his body covered with red marks from rubbing.
The order to Jiang Xia was executed very accurately.
It's even a little too much.
Mrs. Niu found the largest size clothes at home and put them on him, but they still felt tight. However, he looked so naive that he didn't seem to care about it.
Then, Jiang Xia saw this guy's terrifying appetite.
He ate up all four trays of steamed buns, and also ate up half the jar of pickled vegetables in Mrs. Niu's kitchen. Roger also took some nutrition bars that he brought with him.
This liquid food is high in calories, but has no taste at all.
They were originally used to provide supplies for the wasteland warriors, but now that we have come to this good world and everyone can eat good meals, naturally no one will touch these nutritional bars anymore.
Niu Sansheng would eat it all up in no time.
This ruthless eating machine almost made Jasmine drop her jaw in shock. Even the knowledgeable Roger was stunned. He glanced at Niu Sansheng and then at Jiang Xia.
He said:
"This man's digestive system is obviously quite sophisticated. I even suspect that he is not an ordinary human. If I had the tools, I would really like to study his internal structure."
"The fourth brother said that he might be a monk. I don't know what happened to him and he became like this."
Jiang Xia touched his stubbled chin and said:
“Perhaps he is still a body cultivator. It is said that he is often beaten, but there are no obvious injuries on his body.
Most importantly, he is very obedient. He is a very strong warrior. Unfortunately, he is a bit cowardly, which is really a headache for me. "
"Just add a chip."
Roger took out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Jiang Xia. He squinted his eyes and looked at Niu Sansheng. He said:
"Add an enhanced behavioral personality modification plug-in, and it will become the warrior you want to see."
"We'll talk about this later."
Jiang Xia blew out a smoke ring without commenting. A few minutes later, seeing Niu Sansheng's face full of satisfaction, he put the last piece of nutrition bar into his mouth, and he shouted:
" Hanhan, from now on, work with me, okay?"
Niu Sansheng patted his belly and looked back at Jiang Xia, still with a pure smile on his face. He asked:
"Can you eat enough? Like, today, like this."
“Yes, this is the most basic employee benefit.”
Jiang Xia glanced at Jasmine and said to Niu Sansheng:
"You will be my second employee from now on, Jasmine. Now that you've been promoted, he will be your direct subordinate from now on."
