Chapter 191: Little Radish Head
These children, whose hands had been freed, looked at the table full of fragrant breakfast, and seemed to be stunned, and did not even know how to take it. It took a while for them to react, rushing to the table, scrambling to pull the morning into their arms. It wasn't until the breakfast on the table was swept away that everyone grabbed the big bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and devoured it.
Forget about the buns and baked cakes, she actually put the cut duck eggs in her arms, Zhao Siniang said that she couldn't accept it. But seeing how they dressed like beggars, I felt relieved - it didn't matter, instead of worrying that the oil in the duck eggs would stain the clothes, it was better to worry that the clothes would stain the duck eggs.
Seeing that these children finished their breakfast like a whirlwind, Zhao Siniang said in her heart: Not to mention the stolen property before, I just lost another breakfast, and the loss was so heavy, why do you have to inquire about the ugliness, isn't it? You can't let people run away halfway, you have to send more people to guard it.
So Zhao Siniang called a tall man from the front and asked him to follow Zhao Sanlang to escort people to the north of the city.
finally sent away those troubled guys, and Zhao Siniang planned to rest well. But who knew that before she woke up when she returned to sleep, she was dug up from the bed.
Go out and take a look!
In the morning, I sent away four small radish heads, and at this time there was a large bunch in the yard.
Zhao Siniang counted carefully, and there were as many as fourteen!
She didn't speak, she looked at Zhao Sanlang quietly, and the meaning was obvious: ask for an explanation!
Zhao Sanlang, who was not doing well, coughed lightly and told what happened.
After bringing these children to Baiweitang this morning. Before I could invite the nearby Lizheng, some guests who came to dine told them where they came from, and even someone said where they live now. With these important clues. After repeated cross-examination, they finally pried their mouths open.
It turned out that these children were all fatherless and motherless orphans, and they used to live with an old beggar in the dilapidated temple where Baiweitang was located, and lived a full and hungry life. In the spring of this year, the old beggar died, and within a few days they were robbed of their territory by a few scoundrels. Forced to leave the ruined temple. Fortunately, it was already spring at that time, and they were not frozen to death when they wandered around in the city, relying on begging and stealing chickens and dogs. Mixed until autumn.
However, after autumn, the weather is getting colder day by day, and they remember the former home. But when I came back, the ruined temple was gone. In its place is a brand new bistro. They quickly found out. The restaurant is only occupied during the day, and at night it is unguarded. One of them happened to have the "unique learning" of the old beggar to open the door and pick the lock, so he started the idea of Baiweitang. However, they are cautious and afraid of being discovered, and even more afraid of losing this relatively stable food source, so they only steal a small amount of ingredients every night. Unexpectedly, when he met the attentive Cheng Yu, he was caught back.
Regarding the credibility of this set of rhetoric, Zhao Siniang has reservations. But at this time, she really didn't have time to get to the bottom of it, she was more concerned about why she brought these fourteen little radish heads back.
Zhao Sanlang said it before leaving. Let him tell their parents about the evil deeds of these children, so that the parents can discipline them. Later, it was found out that they were orphans. Then let the person go after some verbal education. What does it mean to bring so many people back now?
Zhao Saburo explained: "In addition to the four who came in the morning, they also had ten companions, and now these children are crammed into an abandoned earthen kiln. Didn't those children carry everything they could in their pockets in the morning? It turned out that they didn't want to keep it for themselves, but wanted to bring it back to their companions to eat. So many children can only rely on a few catties of rice and flour taken out of Baiweitang every day, and they can't eat enough at all, and they are all hungry. Moreover, seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, the paste that had been boiled the night before was put in the cave and the next morning it could freeze into an ice mound, where the whole thing was an ice cellar. If you want to leave them there, I don't know if they will survive until the next spring. So, I brought them back. ”
When Zhao Siniang heard this, she couldn't help frowning slightly. Frankly, she was not willing to take these children in. Because they are not simply children from poor families, but out-and-out troubled teenagers. Even if stealing is a last resort, in her opinion, it is ultimately on the wrong path. And it can be seen from the appearance of their dead pigs in the morning who are not afraid of boiling water that these old fritters who entered the society prematurely and fried and fried in the market are not easy to educate at all, and it is difficult to make them change their evil ways and return to the right! It's just too hard! Therefore, she is not at ease about keeping such a child by her side.
But in front of so many people, the good-faced Zhao Siniang really couldn't say anything ruthless. With a sharp change of mind, Zhao Siniang set her eyes on Zhao Sanlang and asked, "Big brother, since you dare to bring people back, you must have thought about how to place them, right?" ”
Zhao Siniang asked this question, just to make Zhao Sanlang speechless and let him understand what stupid things he had done. Unexpectedly, Zhao Sanlang actually nodded and said, "Well, I thought about it on the way back." ”
It's not going to be for these children to work from home, right? Not to mention that she was extremely suspicious of the character of these children, according to her visual inspection, the eldest of these little radish heads was never more than thirteen years old, and did not meet her own employment conditions at all.
Want me to make an exception? There are no doors!
However, to Zhao Siniang's surprise again, Zhao Sanlang proposed a completely new plan. I only heard him say: "Siniang, you often say: 'Rescue the emergency not the poor'." At most, I can help them survive this winter, but I can't help them for the rest of their lives, and the road ahead will depend on them. You also said, 'It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish,' so the best thing to do is to teach them a craft to make a living.
"Aren't we in the food business? I'm going to teach them a few easy-to-learn recipes and let them sell them on the street with the ready-made food. This kind of small business may not make a lot of money, but it should not be a problem to make ends meet. ”
When Zhao Siniang heard this, she took a deep look at Zhao Sanlang. Her eldest brother was really impressed that he was able to come up with a feasible solution in such a short period of time.
However, the emotion was only for a while, and Zhao Siniang quickly wore Zhao Sanlang's tricks, and said with a smile: "Tsk, it's hard for you to come up with such a method!" Big brother, you really took great pains to go to a private school for Ming'er not to study! ”
What should I do if someone sees through my mind? Zhao Sanlang looked embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
