Cosma Empire
Chapter 2
The city of tener is located in the South and west of the Empire. Compared with the magnificent scenery along the southeast coast, the city of tener is somewhat less prosperous. But for people living in tenell, it is a paradise compared with other rural areas full of earthy smell.
Du Lin looked at the busy street with curious eyes. Although he had seen a more prosperous and advanced city in his dream, it was just a dream, but now it is real. He weighed the backpack with a patch on his shoulder, looked around the street excitedly, and was also calculating what he should do first.
Learning culture is inevitable. He doesn''t know a word of the words on the street, which will limit his future development. Secondly, he needs to find a job that can support himself in a short time. He doesn''t require much salary or new water, as long as he can have a humble residence and two meals.
Walking on the streets of this strange city, he felt a bit of fear and more longing for the future. He felt that the sky in the city was bluer than that in the countryside, and even the air was comfortable.
"Hey... Boy over there!"
Dooling followed his voice and looked at a car that looked funny to him, but it was the latest car in the world. A man with a domed felt hat pointed at him.
"Yes, sir, what''s the matter?", Dooling immediately went over. He didn''t know what the decent man who looked very rich called himself, but he didn''t care much about such a call when he felt fresh about everything.
The man looked up and down at Turin, with a slight tilt of his head. There are several boxes in the back of the car. They should look heavy. "Help me move them to Room 411 on the fourth floor."
Du Lin was stunned, but soon his face was full of a smile. He carried his backpack, went to the side of the box and lifted it with force. The box was very heavy, and the support was made with wooden strips outside the box. There seemed to be some liquid shaking in the process of lifting. The man seemed surprised. He pointed to the five story building on the side of the road and signaled him to hurry up.
Du Lin carried a heavy box to the fourth floor. He was already one of the main labor forces in his family when he was in the countryside. He usually had to do some heavy physical work. Although these things are heavy, they have not been paid attention to by him.
He went upstairs and found 411 according to the number learned from the coin. It should be this room. He gently kicked the door twice with his foot. After a while, the door opened a crack. A man with a gloomy face looked at him behind the crack, with some gloomy eyes.
"It was a gentleman downstairs who asked me to bring these boxes up." Dooling explained.
The door opened a little bigger, and the guy leaned out to look around. The long corridor was quiet and no one could be seen. The man opened the door at this time. Durin noticed a detail. While opening the door, the guy carried his right hand behind his back and pulled it out again.
He looked at the three boxes held in Turin''s arms, and there were some surprised expressions on his face, "you''re not weak!" he said, giving way to his position and letting Turin in, "just put the things behind the door."
After putting things down according to his instructions, the guy roughly pushed Dooling out of the room, and then closed the door with a bang of Peng.
Looking at the closed wooden door, Turin was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and went downstairs.
The gentleman downstairs didn''t leave. He didn''t say anything when he saw Turin. He took out a one dollar note from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand. The guy drove away without waiting for Dolin to thank him.
Looking at the car disappearing at the end of the street, Turin whistled. It seems that making money in the city is not as difficult as expected. Look, it''s only been more than an hour. I''ve made a dollar, which is up to the average person''s income for three days.
People are always full of some pride for the first time of anything, even if it is a stupid thing. While thinking about a dollar earned by his labor for the first time in his life, he looked for a place to live next by the roadside. In fact, what he hopes most is to find a place for custom-made leather utensils. The profession of cobbler will never be hungry. This sentence was heard from an alcoholic who went to yealfalfa town to buy wolf skin.
A wolf skin worth a lot of money - Wild Alfalfa. There are always coyotes in twos and threes outside the town. Most of these coyotes are attracted by some livestock in the town, and have become the most hated thing by rural people. The people in the town will kill the coyotes with traps, then peel them completely and sell them to the leather merchants who come once a month.
In the mouth of the leather merchant, these wolf skins, which can only sell for ten cents, can sell more than ten or even dozens of dollars after careful production by the cobblers!
Therefore, Du Lin thinks that if you want to change the level of your life as soon as possible, becoming a cobbler apprentice is obviously the most direct and fastest way.
In fact, he doesn''t know that as long as other industries do well, it''s almost the same.
After walking around the city, he almost dizzy. He has never seen such a big city, so many people, so many roads and so many houses.
Of course, there are cars on the road.
Like the good things before, I haven''t met again. As for looking for a cobbler... I haven''t found it.
With the water taken from the roadside pump and gnawing on the whole wheat bread as hard as stone, Dooling completed the first step of his life and spent the night in the city.
Similarly, he felt something called loneliness for the first time. In a bridge cave, he curled up and gradually slept in the roaring wind.
For several days, I went around the whole city of tenell and found three leather stores, but the owner had no intention of inviting people. Dooling put his hopes on other jobs, such as tailoring, carpentry, or other decent jobs. I don''t know if it''s his bad luck or some other reason. No one is willing to recruit him. This also made him understand that there is always an insurmountable gap between ideal and reality.
After two weeks, he finally found a way to make money from countless failures - washing the car.
Just a bucket of water, a piece of cheap soap, a handful of vines and melons that are naturally dry and rotten, and a towel can be used to clean roadside cars. The total cost of these things is no more than one yuan. You can get at least five tenths of a reward for washing the car. If you wash more than ten or twenty cars a day, won''t you get rich soon? According to some experience I have experienced in my dream, I will expand my business, hire people and form my own brand effect at this time.
It seems very interesting.
On the evening of the 16th day when he came to tenell, Turin walked to the roadside with a bucket of water. He has observed that across the road is the tenell theater. Every day, many rich people drive here to enjoy opera and some funny plays, which is also the most profitable place.
After the day was getting dark, tenell seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and come back to life! The city was enough to shock durin. It was hard for him to imagine what people called "big city".
Didi, the whistle pulled him back from his distraction, and a new ogim car stopped not far in front of him. A grim looking guy in a windbreaker and top hat got out of the car. He glanced at Turin, patted his car, took out two nickels from his pocket and threw them on the ground. Without looking back, he stepped on the steps of the tenell theater.
What an arrogant man!
Turin shook his head slightly and walked over with a bucket. As he walked, he thought, if I will be richer and decent than him one day, I can''t be so arrogant as him!
People, and people, should be equal!
