Chapter 101, Sprout

"It's finally time to arrive in the capital~"

Tian Erniu looked at the towering and tall city wall not far away, and stopped to take a breath.

"Tsk, the city wall of Beijing is high, and it is worthy of being the capital master of the Ming Dynasty."

"The last time I came, I didn't take a good look at it, and the outer part of the city wall should be a moat."

Zhao Monkey looked at the tall city wall in front of him and couldn't help but be impressed by its height and majesty.

"The last time we came, we were all homeless, cold and hungry, how could we be in the mood to look at this wall, and only think about how to get into the city."

Dahu looked at Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey, and sighed slightly in his heart, the city is still that city, and the place is still that place, but now everyone's situation and mood are completely different, and they actually have the leisure to admire the height of the city wall.

"When I waited outside the wall for three days, I ran out of dry food and the clothes I wore were cold to death, and I hated the wall so much that it would collapse soon, so that I could not be hindered from entering the city."

"Let's go~ Let's go, take a good look at this capital today."

Shaking their heads slightly, the four of them continued to walk towards the capital again.

Soon, they came to Xibianmen, which is now very lively, mainly workers coming and going from various coal workshops, convoys transporting honeycomb coal, and so on.

Dahu looked at the guards guarding the Xibian Gate, he recognized the person in charge at a glance, but Dahu begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to let him in, but he was never allowed.

At that time, Dahu even wanted to kill this guard guarding the gate, he was a homeless person, just to survive, in order to go into the city to beg for food, why did the other party embarrass himself.

"It's all about duty, there's nothing to say."

Looking at the guard leader who had been eager to kill him, Dahu was now able to understand the other party's difficulties.

Working here in Xishan, he also clearly knows that some things are not his own decision, and he must pay attention to rules and principles in doing things, and there are no rules.

As a guard in the capital, sticking to his post is also his duty, and not letting the displaced people enter the city is also an order from his superiors, not that he deliberately wants to embarrass himself.

Maybe if he lets himself in, his own job will be lost, and the family will be helpless.

When I thought of this, the little bit of anger accumulated in Dahu's heart also disappeared cleanly, not only learned to do things on the Xishan side, but also learned a lot of things and a lot of truths in the night class, and was more sensible.

There were no accidents, and the four of them entered the capital very smoothly with the teams in and out.

"It's so lively~"

"There are so many people~"

As soon as they entered the capital, the four of them were quickly attracted by the prosperity of the capital, and the streets of the capital were full of people, traffic, and all kinds of small business cries came and went.

Tian Erniu's eyes are dazzling, dazzling, all kinds of things, goods, shops, food stalls, etc., people are overwhelmed, and there are dense crowds around him, it is really lively.

"This is a rock sugar gourd, I heard that it is delicious, I used to see the landlord's son eat it once when I was a child~"

"It's a rock sugar gourd, I heard it's very sweet~"

Zhao Monkey pointed to an old man selling rock sugar gourds and said, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Why don't we buy one and try it?"

Silly Bear is now a big money, and he also came directly to the boss who sold rock sugar gourds and asked, "How to sell rock sugar gourds?" ”

"It's very cheap, 1 penny a bunch, do you want to sell a few bunches back to the children to taste?"

The old man looked at the stupid bear and asked with a smile.

"Let's make four strings~"

When Silly Xiong heard this, he took out four copper plates, picked out four strings of rock sugar gourds, and then gave them to Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey, and Dahu and said, "I'll invite you to eat~"

"Thank you Silly Bear~"

"Thank you, brother~"

"It's still a stupid bear enough brother~"

When Tian Erniu and the three of them heard this, they all smiled and thanked them, and then picked up the rock sugar gourd and tasted it carefully.

"It's so sweet, it's delicious~"

"It turns out that this is the taste of rock sugar gourd~"

"Delicious~"

The four of them also praised while eating, although this rock sugar gourd is cheap and ordinary, but for them, the lowest level of military households, it is really very luxurious.

This is also a stupid bear treat, otherwise Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey, and Dahu are reluctant to spend money to taste it, after all, they are poor, and this is a little bit of money, which is also to be used on the blade.

Eating the sweet rock sugar gourd, the four of them also walked around the capital very casually, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and was very curious about everything.

"It turns out that this is rouge gouache, all the women in this city use this thing, I said how there is always a fragrance, all of them are very beautiful, it turns out that this thing is used."

"But it's not, rich ladies have to use this, this thing is expensive, I saw it just now, this small box costs 500 Wen~"

"My good man, it's really expensive~"

"This bun is so delicious, if only you could eat what a delicious bun every day~"

"It's delicious, it's too expensive, this bun costs 1 penny, and I can eat it in one bite, I can eat ten in one meal~"

Tian Erniu licked the soup at the corner of his mouth, still reminiscing about the delicious buns just now.

"I can eat dozens of them~"

Silly Bear has a few buns in his hand, he is the richest, and he likes to eat the most, as long as he encounters snacks, he has to buy as many as he wants, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he will never be full.

"The cloth in this capital is cheaper than the cloth in our town, we sell it for 220 wen a horse in our town, and you can buy it here for only 200 wen, which is really black-hearted."

"No, many things in this capital are cheaper than ours~"

The four of them kept strolling around the capital, lamenting that the capital has a complete range of goods, and the expensive things are so expensive that they are beyond the reach of the dust, and after careful comparison, they found that many things are cheaper than their own homes.

"This capital is good, it's good to live with money, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything can be very comfortable, if only you could live here for a long time in the future."

After shopping for a day, Zhao Monkey also sighed.

"Let's dream, the houses in this capital are expensive, and the cheapest houses cost dozens of taels of silver, not to mention, we are all military households, and we have been military households for generations."

Dahu looked at Zhao Monkey, and he really couldn't bear to break his dream.

In fact, he didn't want to live in the capital, the prosperous world here is really charming, just think about his military background, think about the cost of living here, the high housing prices, and suddenly bury this idea deep in his heart.

"Everything is possible~ As long as we dare to fight, there may not be no hope."

Tian Erniu patted Zhao Monkey's shoulder and cheered him up: "Didn't you learn a sentence when you had a night class last time, what is the prince and general Xiangning, as long as we are willing to work hard and be ready at all times, once we have the opportunity, it is not impossible for us to turn over." ”

When he said this, Tian Erniu's eyes were very resolute, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
