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

Jiaojiao turned around and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, I'm watching Grandpa Ma check someone's pulse."

Hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and picked up Jiaojiao and walked towards Doctor Ma, "If Jiaojiao wants to see our shop, she can do it openly and openly. There is no need to hide."

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

As the father and daughter talked, they came over. Doctor Ma had already written a prescription for the man. Song Dong happened to come out as well. He hurriedly smiled and came forward to get the prescription, and then went to get the medicine for him.

Doctor Ma turned around and saw his boss and his little daughter. He quickly stood up and said hello with a smile: "Hello, boss, and Xiao Jiaojiao."

"Hello, Grandpa Ma~" he said in a sweet and sweet voice.

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

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ma quickly waved his hand, "It's not hard. It's hard for me to sit here all day long, taking my pulse and picking up my pen. It's hard for my boss to run around."

Dr. Ma has gray hair and many wrinkles on his face, but he has a festive round face. When he smiles and talks, he looks like an amiable old naughty boy.

Wang Zhuangzhi chuckled, "That's good."

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

There were a lot of people coming and going for medical treatment in the drug store, and Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't help him much. If he stayed in the store, it would be a hindrance.

He took Jiaojiao and went out for a walk around the town to see if he could recruit suitable helpers.

We often have to deliver medicinal materials to drug stores, and we have to travel long distances to load and unload goods. We also have to go to Anseong to deliver fish. It’s a bit overwhelming to be on the road all day long.

Tomorrow is a new month, and Qiu Sheng is going to take the exam in the county town this time. I heard that the exam will take two days, and he won't be able to make it there.

Compared to the town, there is a big wharf not far away from the big town. There are many ships 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 asked about the location of the pier, and then went there with Jiaojiao in his arms.

"Dad, where are we going?"

Jiaojiao looked at the unfamiliar place. As she walked outside, there were fewer and fewer houses and people.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. Dad is going to the dock to see if he can find another helper to help our pharmacy."

After Wang Zhuangzhi finished speaking, he looked around a little 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 out his neck, looked around, and said, "Jiaojiao, your father came at the wrong time. The ship has not returned at this time, so the workers are naturally not on the dock."

It turned out to be like this. Seeing that her father was still going forward, Jiaojiao hurriedly said in a soft voice: "Dad, the boat in the river has not come back, and the workers have not started work yet. Let's wait until they start work."

Wang Zhuangzhi suddenly realized it and said, "No wonder the old man looked at us strangely when we asked him just now. It turns out it's not the right time yet."

"Oh, dad is not as smart as Jiaojiao, but my Jiaojiao is still smarter..."

When Wang Zhuangzhi carried his daughter back the same way, he met Shopkeeper Yang who was selling grain and oil next to the drug store.

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

Shopkeeper Yang was also quite easy-going, and said with a smile: "Don't go far, go to Zhentou to buy goat milk for my grandson. Where is Boss Wang going with his daughter?"

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't hide anything, he smiled and said casually: "I wanted to find a helper at the pharmacy, but there was no one at the dock."

"Going to the dock to find help?" Shopkeeper Yang sounded a little surprised.

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't understand why Shopkeeper Yang was so surprised, so he asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang, is there anything wrong with the dock?"

Shopkeeper Yang on the opposite side hesitated to speak, thinking that Wang Zhuangzhi might not know about it just when he came to the big town, so he came forward and whispered: "The workers at the dock are all in cliques, and it is not easy to obey the discipline when they are hired. Moreover, they give money first and then pay later."

Many shops have suffered losses when doing business, and the government does not care about it."

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned when he heard this, "Is there such a person?"

Shopkeeper Yang sighed and said in a low voice: "No, I was fooled once before and was defrauded of twenty taels of silver. I can't threaten my grandson with not giving it."

Wang Zhuangzhi asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper Yang, how do shops in this town recruit helpers?"

"We all go to the hall to find Huang Maozi. He is a toothless man who travels all over the world. He has many slaves who have committed crimes. We all go to him to buy death deeds directly. A death deed only costs three or five dollars."

For two taels of silver, a person with a lowly status will not be cared about by the officials. He is better at handling things than the hired ones. He can be beaten and scolded at will without any problem."

Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned when he heard this. Although he had long heard people say that people with low status were of low status, he never thought that they could be bought and sold at will.

Jiaojiao blinked her big black eyes as she listened, not understanding what a mean person was.

"Boss Wang, unlike you, told me that I have to buy goat milk. I'm afraid it will be sold out if I go late."

"Hey, good, 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 could only find Huang Maozi.

He then carried Jiaojiao to the entrance of the hall.

The entrance of the hall is in a messy alley. At the entrance of the alley, an old beggar is sleeping in the corner, with leftovers on the broken bowl.

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned as he looked at them, then took out a few coins and put them beside him, hugged Jiaojiao tightly and walked towards the alley.

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

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

Huang Maozi took a look at him. Although Wang Zhuangzhi was wearing a brocade robe, his skin color was wheat-colored over the years. He did not look like a wealthy man.

When his eyes moved to Jiaojiao, Huang Maozi's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly put down his cigarette bag and stood up to take a closer look. His face was white and flawless, and his facial features were exquisite and his eyebrows were watery.

Guaguai, the grandmothers from wealthy families like this kind of soft little baby the most. He will change hands for more than a hundred taels at least.

Huang Maozi rubbed his hands, smiled and whispered to Wang Zhuangzhi: "Hero, let's discuss the price in the room."

Wang Zhuangzhi thought he was a little strange from the beginning, but now after hearing his words, he suddenly became furious and cursed at him: "What a waste of discussion! How dare you think that my daughter, I can't beat you to death!"

Huang Maozi was so frightened by him that he took a step back and shouted speechlessly: "Alas! If you didn't tell me earlier, who knows what you are here for. Stop! If you have something to say, please say it."

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

When Wang Zhuangzhi heard his daughter's voice, his anger calmed down a bit, but his eyes were still staring at Huang Maozi fiercely. Fortunately, he dared to say those words.

He couldn't bear to say a harsh word about his own pet peeve, and now that someone dared to even think about doing business, he couldn't suppress his anger just thinking about it.
