The Sabbath Chapter 51: Rhubarb became the pillar of the family
"It takes 600,000 points to build a body, 2,000 points to rent a house every month, 200 points to a parking space in Rhubarb a month, and our body can't eat ground beans all day long. Add some other nutritional supplements, so at least 300 points are needed." Ronggui scratched the ground and settled the score: "In this way, we need to earn at least 2,500 points a month to survive in this city. If we want to save money to do body"
It's even more distant——
Ronggui didn't say this, and erased the formula drawn out before, he said to Xiaomei: "In short, let's find a job first, and make sure we can live in this city."
In this world that advocates human labor, there are still many job opportunities.
Since about 90% of the shops in the city are blacksmith shops, the jobs provided are basically related to blacksmithing. There is no labor market here, and there is no website that introduces jobs. If any shop is short of people, just hang a piece of paper and list the type of work, salary, and number of people needed. People who think they are suitable can directly go in for an interview. up.
The function of this piece of paper is not only for recruiting notices, sometimes the store will also write down the materials that they lack, and also write the extra materials. If someone happens to be short of such materials, they can enter the store and negotiate with the store. .
Looks quickly turned to the doorways of various shops, Ronggui was eager to try.
Ronggui was very excited, but Xiaomei poured cold water on him: "The dwarves are very xenophobic, they can't provide important jobs to outsiders, and this will spread the skills they depend on for a living."
"Is it possible? I see that many shops have put up notices to recruit people. There is no restriction on them that they must be dwarves
Well, the store in front is looking for a parts assembler. It seems that it requires craftsmanship. I'm sure I can't do it, but Xiaomei, you can give it a try!
As long as I can apply for a job in a blacksmith shop, I will be very satisfied. I will take a look at the side, and when Xiaomei you make our body, I can help out by the side. "
Don't be discouraged even after being poured cold water, Ronggui decided to give it a try.
So next, Ronggui took Xiaomei to that shop to apply for a job.
It was a shop that sold mechanical fingers, and Ronggui had a good idea: working in this kind of place is obviously less labor-intensive, after all, Xiaomei's strength is not great, and the main products sold here are fingers made of metal And joints, if Xiaomei can work in this kind of shop, if Xiaomei learns a little, she will make their fingers more delicate in the future.
Knowing how many weights he has, Ronggui made up his mind from the very beginning that he would be a test companion, but he thought that Xiaomei's hands were so dexterous, so he would definitely be hired.
Who knows——
Xiaomei was banned from the beginning because Xiaomei did not have the qualifications of a second-level craftsman.
"What is that? Isn't it good enough if you have enough craftsmanship?" Ronggui was puzzled.
"Who knows if your craftsmanship is good enough? We recruit people here to go to work directly. We are a high-end shop and all we use are high-end materials. If you make a bad one, you will lose a lot of money. We don't have that spare money. Waste!" The person in charge of the recruitment was a big dwarf. He was not tall but had a very violent temper. While talking to Ronggui, he quickly assembled a finger in his hand. His tone was rude, but his movements were extremely gentle. After a while, a very beautiful metal finger took shape in his hand.
Ronggui was stunned for a while, and took Xiaomei out again for a while.
Then they walked a few more stores and were rejected for the same issue.
"It seems that this second-level craftsman qualification certificate is very important." Ronggui silently remembered this term in his heart.
But in this way, Ronggui also gave up the idea of finding a job in this kind of shop.
"It seems that Xiaomei, you can only go to an ordinary blacksmith to find a job like me, but Xiaomei, you are so good, maybe you can get mixed up with the work of the master hammer!" The main striker in the shop of metal materials is also the most experienced striker. In the shop of dwarves, the main hammer is generally held by a female dwarf. The main hammer does not need to use a lot of effort, but it is responsible for guiding the direction and strength of the blow The secondary hammer on the side is the force. The so-called "main hammer" and "secondary hammer" were explained to him by Xiaomei.
Xiaomei glanced at him.
If you had to describe that look in words, it would probably be: "You think too much".
Facts have proved that Ronggui really thought too much.
After applying to six blacksmith shops in a row, Ronggui and Xiaomei finally found a job in the seventh blacksmith shop: Xiaomei was in charge of pulling the bellows, and Ronggui was in charge of transporting fuel to the furnace and throwing it into it.
The reason for getting a job is also very confusing: the auto bellows in the shop are broken, and the fuel carrier has not been repaired.
Ronggui: =-= Co-author The two of them completely replaced the machine to work.
However, after an afternoon of job hunting, it is not easy for them to find such a job. There are quite a lot of foreigners who come to work, and most of the foreigners who do not have enough money to buy things will work here for a while , everyone is taller and bigger than them, and he and Xiaomei lost in the competition of strength alone.
It is not easy to find another shop where two machines are broken at the same time, not to mention that the salary offered by this shop is exactly 1,250 yuan a month for one person, and exactly 2,500 yuan for two people. Ronggui quickly accepted it. got the job.
"Xiaomei, be careful when pulling the bellows here, the temperature is high, be careful not to burn yourself." He said to Xiaomei admonishingly, he still didn't feel relieved after saying it several times, he took out a blanket from the small trailer and wrapped it around Xiaomei's body. Finally, he wet a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the left hand of Little Mera's bellows: "Be careful!"
After finishing everything that could be done, Ronggui left.
Leave Xiaomei
He looked down at the dirty blanket wrapped around his body: it was the same carpet that was spread on the floor of his hometown before, Ronggui cherished his body, and when it was transformed into a small trailer, he turned the blanket out and folded In the future, every time he loads ores, he will put those ores on the trailer covered with blankets. Although the outer shell of the trailer is dilapidated, the interior is still in good condition because of the protection of this blanket;
Xiaomei looked at the wet cloth on her left hand again: this cloth is also something that Ronggui must carry with him every day. Although his body is very tattered, he must wipe it with this handkerchief whenever it gets dirty. As long as there is water, he Also be sure to wash your hand towels every day.
Ronggui must bring these two things with him every time he goes out, but now, these two things are all on him.
Xiaomei didn't get rid of these two things after all.
Turning the bellows with his left hand, he started to work.
The work of pulling the bellows may seem simple and boring, but the speed and strength must be adjusted at any time according to the requirements of the owner. It may be really difficult for other novice to do this job well at once, but it is not a big problem for Xiaomei .
At the end of the day, Xiaomei quickly adapted to work, but Ronggui——
Ronggui was fired.
While transporting fuel into the furnace, he accidentally stuck his right hand inside.
The only intact right hand was broken in an instant.
Half of the palm of the right hand was burned instantly, the little finger and ring finger were completely melted, leaving only the thumb, the index finger and **** barely hanging on the other half of the palm, it looked very pitiful.
Ronggui who was carried out looked at Xiaomei pitifully.
"Let's go back." Standing up from the bellows without thinking, Xiaomei decided to take this idiot back.
"No!" Rong Gui immediately refused.
Placing his miserable right hand, Ronggui said to Xiaomei: "Maybe this is the only store with a broken bellows, I just go home by myself, Xiaomei, you, you should work hard here!" /
Whilst talking, Ronggui tried hard to wink at him with the electronic imager.
Xiaomei:
Looking at Ronggui silently, Xiaomei finally sat back to her original position, pressed her left hand on the bellows again, looked at the wet cloth on it, and thought to herself: That idiot, without him, could really find his way home ? In terms of recognizing the way, Ronggui is not as good as Rhubarb
So, when Xiaomei was working next, her mind was full of Ronggui.
As soon as it was time to get off work, he immediately went home from get off work, and then, as soon as he went out——
He saw Ronggui who was holding a small trailer and huddled next to the shop.
Ronggui: "Xiaomei, I didn't know how to get home until I went out."
Sure enough——
"And then you just waited here for three hours?" Xiaomei looked down at Ronggui rarely.
Ronggui nodded.
Not surprised at all, but when she saw the other party, she was a little relieved, Xiaomei lifted Ronggui up.
Led by Xiaomei, the two robots turned around and finally found Da Huang who was still waiting in the parking lot. After getting on Da Huang, the two went home.
Come out together, still go back together.
That night, regardless of Ronggui's refusal, Xiaomei placed her right hand in Ronggui's hand.
"Only the left hand is enough to pull the bellows." His reason is this.
"But hey" Xiaomei held his right arm firmly in his hand, Ronggui kept moving his body, obviously, after losing his job, he was anxious about the living expenses of the two of them again.
"I'm sorry, I, I'm so stupid." Ronggui finally whispered.
"I have been clumsy since I was a child, and I can't do anything well"
"But I'm good-looking, and the dean and teachers don't talk much about me when I do something wrong, and I sing well too." Speaking of flying here, Ronggui became a little happier, but soon, thinking of In the current situation, he is even more depressed: "It's useless to say this now, I don't have a body, and I don't sing well, and"
Looking at his dilapidated mechanical body, the little robot didn't make a sound.
Xiaomei didn't speak, just put her right hand on Ronggui's right wrist bit by bit.
It was not until the last screw was screwed that he suddenly said: "Actually, there is a way to earn enough points to assemble two bodies at once."
"Huh?" Ronggui raised his head all of a sudden.
Xiaomei's eyes were still fixed on Ronggui's hand, he said slowly: "Sell my body, although the mechanical body is widely used, but the most popular is still the real body, it is very easy to dismantle and sell it. It’s worth money, if my body is sold as a whole, it should be worth more—”
Before he finished speaking, Ronggui pressed his newly installed right hand firmly on his mouth.
Although there is only a horn there, even if it is pressed, it is useless, but Ronggui still pressed it according to the human habit, as if if pressed there, Xiaomei would not be able to speak.
Big face approached Xiaomei, Ronggui stared at him, and then said word by word: "Dean, chief, say, want, foot, step, solid, land, earn, money, sell, body, what, What, yes, think, also, no, want, think!"
It's rare to see Ronggui with such a serious look, Xiaomei was stunned for a while, and finally nodded slowly under Ronggui's tight marking, and then he was let go.
Then Ronggui became the same as before.
Sitting on the spot and carefully looking at his hands, he suddenly turned his head and whispered to Xiaomei: "Actually, there were many people who wanted to buy me back then. Among the same group of newcomers, my body has the highest price"
"It must be because I am the most handsome"
"Hehehe, although I don't sell it, I am very happy to know that I am so valuable."
"I can't tell, so Xiaomei, you are quite confident in your body."
Looking at Ronggui who became happy again for some inexplicable reason, Xiaomei:
This evening, Ronggui told Xiaomei about all the shady things in the world entertainment industry before, and finally felt that he had hoped to strive to become a famous singer in the country, and even a famous singer in the world, but now
"Probably we can only work towards the goal of being a well-known singer in the tower."
Ronggui who said this sighed, looking a little funny.
Xiaomei thought.
Then Ronggui continued to swipe up and down to settle accounts, the more he calculated, the more sad he felt, the sadness in the little robot's heart almost materialized into the air.
Then, at this moment, the passes of the two people suddenly rang.
Because it is a family account, the passes of two people are considered at the same time. After one person is connected, the other person can also hear the voice on the other side.
So, after Xiaomei connected, Ronggui heard a female voice on the other side.
"It's the female dwarf who carried our car last time!" Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei immediately recognizing the other party's voice.
Xiaomei nodded, and the rest of the conversation was completely between Ronggui and the other party.
The purpose of the female dwarf's call is very simple: to go out of the city tomorrow, think of the good service of the two, and want to charter a car.
Looking at Xiaomei, Ronggui immediately agreed, discussed the pick-up location with the other party, and said goodbye politely, then he hung up the built-in phone of the pass.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei! Maybe I can be a driver! I can make money this way too!" Thinking of this, Ronggui stood up happily.
Then—
"Do you know the way?" Xiaomei only said one sentence, and Ronggui shrank immediately.
Before, it was Xiaomei who drove the car. Without Xiaomei, Ronggui didn't know any roads, not to mention he didn't have legs yet.
Ronggui looked down at his track, and then became even more frustrated.
"Let me modify it." Then, he heard Xiaomei continue talking.
"Ah! Do you want to modify me? Do we still have materials to modify me?" Ronggui immediately raised his head again.
Xiaomei turned her head indifferently: "No, transform rhubarb."
Up to now, Xiaomei has finally officially called the yellow car outside as Rhubarb.
Taking out her toolbox from the back room, Xiaomei led the way downstairs to find Rhubarb.
Ronggui followed behind him, following every step.
Therefore, Xiaomei and Agui drove the night train that night. After spending most of the night, Xiaomei redesigned Dahuang's navigation system, adding positioning functions and automatic driving functions.
In this way, Ronggui only needs to sit on Rhubarb, and Rhubarb can do all the other things.
"Hey, then what am I doing?" After being excited for a long time, Ronggui finally thought of this question: Rhubarb has done everything, so why should he do it himself?
Xiaomei silently put away her tools, and took one last look at him: "Go and accompany Dahuang, and chat with the guests by the way."
Ronggui: I always feel that there is something wrong with this sentence.
However, even so, on the second day, he was still very happy to sit on Dahuang. Dahuang took him, he took the dwarf sister, and everyone went for a drive outside the city.
The navigation system designed by Xiaomei is indeed very reliable. No matter how Rhubarb got there, he came back.
Due to the excellent service (slow driving without nagging), and the fact that she helped carry a lot of goods back, the dwarf girl generously paid him 200 points as a reward, and made an appointment with Ronggui for the next trip time.
Ronggui simply drew a multiplication on the ground, and did the math: Hey! In this way, Rhubarb's salary exceeds that of him and Xiaomei!
In this way, Da Huang's salary can not only pay his own parking fee, but also help him and Xiaomei pay off the rent, and by the way, occasionally buy him and Xiaomei's body an apple or something
Rhubarb is so capable!
Ronggui told Xiaomei the good news that night, and then, on the same night, Xiaomei silently improved the modification of Rhubarb a little more.
