Wang Zhuangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, walked over with a smile and shouted, "Jiaojiao, what are you doing here?"

Jiaojiao turned her head and said in a soft voice, "Father, I'm watching Grandpa Ma feel his pulse."

Hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and picked up Jiaojiao and walked towards Doctor Ma, "My shop, if Jiaojiao wants to see it, she can look at it openly, don't hide."

Jiaojiao hugged her father's neck, and said softly: "Jiaojiao is afraid of disturbing Grandpa's medical treatment."

The father and daughter walked over while talking, and Doctor Ma had already prescribed the medicine for that person. It happened that Song Dong also came out, and hurriedly smiled and took the prescription, and then went to fill the medicine for him.

Doctor Ma turned around and saw that it was the Dong family and the youngest daughter of the Dong family, and hurriedly got up and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Dong, and Xiao Jiaojiao."

"Hello, Grandpa Ma~" she said in a delicate and waxy voice.

With a smile on his face, Wang Zhuangzhi said to him: "Doctor Ma, the pharmacy has been very busy these two days."

Dr. Ma hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, "It's not hard, the old man sits here all day, what's so hard about getting his pulse and writing, the boss is hard when he runs back and forth."

Dr. Ma's hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, but he had a round and happy face, and he looked like an amiable old urchin when he smiled and talked.

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled lightly, "That's good."

It's Si time now, and there is still an hour before lunch.

There were a lot of people coming and going to see a doctor in the pharmacy, Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't help him, and staying in the store would get in the way.

He took Jiaojiao and went out to the big town for a walk, to see if he could find a suitable helper.

Medicine shops often have to deliver medicinal materials, and they have to load and unload goods during the journey, and they have to go to Ancheng to deliver fish.

Tomorrow is a new month, and Qiusheng is going to take an exam in the county seat this time. It is said that the exam will take two days, and he will not be able to make it by then.

Compared with the town, there is a large wharf not far from the big town. There are many boats coming and going every day, and there are many strong men carrying bags. There are more choices for recruiting workers here, and everyone is strong and strong. They all have a lot of strength.

Wang Zhuangzhi and passers-by inquired about the location of the pier, so they went with Jiaojiao in their arms.

"Father, where are we going?"

Jiaojiao looked at the unfamiliar place, the houses and people became less and less as she walked out.

"Jiaojiao is not afraid, dad is going to the pier to see if he can find another helper to help our pharmacy."

After Wang Zhuangzhi finished speaking, he looked around strangely. There was a river in the distance, but there was no one near the platform on the bank.

At this time, Bai Miaomiao in Jiaojiao's arms stretched her neck to look around, and said, "Jiaojiao, your father came at a bad time. The ship has not returned at this hour, so the workers are naturally not at the pier."

It turned out to be like this, Jiaojiao saw that her father was still going forward, she hurriedly said in a sticky voice: "Father, the boat in the river has not returned, and the workers have not started work yet, let's wait for others to start work before coming back."

Wang Zhuangzhi also suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder I asked the old man just now, he looked at us a little strangely, so it is not yet time."

"Hey, Dad is not as smart as Jiaojiao, or my Jiaojiao is smarter..."

When Wang Zhuangzhi was returning the same way with his daughter in his arms, he met shopkeeper Yang who was selling grain and oil next to the medicine shop.

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and greeted him, "Master Yang, are you going out?"

Shopkeeper Yang is also quite easy-going, and said with a smile: "Don't go far, go to the town to buy goat milk for my grandson and grandson, where is Boss Wang going with his daughter in his arms?"

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't hide it either, and said casually with a smile, "I wanted to find a helper for the pharmacy, but there was no one at the pier."

"Go to the dock to find a helper?" Shopkeeper Yang said in a surprised tone.

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't understand why Shopkeeper Yang was so surprised, so he asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Yang, what's wrong with the dock?"

Shopkeeper Yang on the opposite side hesitated to speak, thinking that Wang Zhuangzhi had come to Dazhen and probably didn't know, so he leaned forward and whispered: "The workers at the dock are all in cliques, and it's not easy to be disciplined when hired, and the money will be paid first. Many shops have suffered from doing things, and the Yamen doesn't care about it."

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned upon hearing this, "There, is there such a person?"

Shopkeeper Yang sighed and said in a low voice: "That's right, I was cheated once at the beginning, and I was cheated of twenty taels of silver. You can't do it by threatening my grandson."

Wang Zhuangzhi asked puzzledly: "Shopkeeper Yang, how do you recruit helpers for the shop in the town?"

"They all go to the hall to find Huang Maozi. He is a jerk. He runs around in the southeast and northwest. He has a lot of lowly slaves who have committed crimes. We always go to him to buy the death contract directly. A death contract is only three to five years old. Two silvers, lowly people and officials don't care, it's easier to handle than hired ones, and it's okay to beat and scold at will."

Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback when he heard about it, although he had heard people say that his family is low and low, he never thought that he could be bought and sold by others.

Listening to her big black eyes blinking, Jiaojiao didn't know what a cheapie was.

"Boss Wang disagreed with you. I have to buy goat milk. If I go there, I'm afraid it will be sold out."

"Hey, okay, thank you, Boss Yang, for letting me know."

After Boss Yang left, Wang Zhuangzhi thought about it. Since he couldn't find the dock workers, he had to go to the scumbag.

He carried Jiaojiao to the entrance of the hall.

The entrance of the hall is in a messy alley. At the entrance of the alley, old beggars hide and sleep in the corner, and the broken bowls are covered with leftovers.

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned, took out a few copper coins and put them beside them, hugged Jiaojiao tightly and walked into the alley.

Finally, in front of a dilapidated door, I saw a thin monkey smoking a big cigarette, with dry yellow hair and scars on his cheeks.

Wang Zhuangzhi looked at him, and tentatively asked, "Are you Huang Maozi?"

Huang Maozi took a look at him. Although Wang Zhuangzhi is now wearing a brocade robe, his skin color has been wheat-colored all year round, so he is not a rich man.

When his eyes moved to Jiaojiao, Huang Maozi's eyes lit up immediately, he quickly put down his cigarette pouch and got up to look carefully. His small face was white and flawless, and his facial features were delicate and fresh.

Be good, grandmas from wealthy families like this kind of soft little baby the most, and he can change hands for at least a hundred taels.

Huang Maozi rubbed his hands, smiled and said to Wang Zhuangzhi in a low voice: "This is a good man, let's discuss the price in the room."

Wang Zhuangzhi felt that he was a little strange at the beginning, but now he heard his words, he was furious and yelled at him: "Negotiation is a fart! How dare I miss my daughter, I can't beat you to death!"

Scared by him, Huang Maozi took a step back, and shouted speechlessly: "Oh! If you didn't say it earlier, who knows what you're here for, stop! Say something if you have something to say."

It was rare for Jiaojiao to see her father so angry, she hurriedly hugged her father's neck and said softly, "Dad, don't be angry~"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Wang Zhuangzhi calmed down a bit, his eyes were still fixed on Huang Maozi fiercely, thanks to him daring to say those words.

He couldn't bear to say a serious word in his heart, and now thinking about the idea of ​​someone daring to do business, he couldn't suppress his anger.

As long as he, Wang Zhuangzhi, lives for one day, he will never let Jiaojiao encounter these things. If someone dares to hurt Jiaojiao, he will kill him if he puts his life on the line!
