Chapter 103: Ordinary People
However, Chen Feng pretended not to know anything about it, and he only felt a huge pressure now. Of course, the more pressure is Xu Yuanxuan's shopkeepers, cooks and guys, and the next three days are definitely Xu Yuanxuan's busiest three days.
At this time, Chen Feng explained the reason to Xu Yuanxuan to everyone, and after saying the identity of everyone, Chen Feng spoke, "In the next three days, you will have to work, close early today, everyone will rest early, and before three o'clock tomorrow, we must prepare seven tables of meals, and there must be no omissions, otherwise when these three days are over, our head may also be separated from us." ”
Chen Feng deliberately said that the matter was more serious, so that they did not dare not take this matter to heart. Seeing that everyone's expressions changed because of his words, Chen Feng was already relieved in his heart, indeed, everyone in this restaurant was the one who ushered in the send-off, and he knew how to treat people with a smile the most, so he was too worried.
Early the second morning, Xu Yuanxuan's lights were turned on early, in order to prepare breakfast for those who couldn't afford to offend, they could get up later, but Chen Feng and the others got up at the end of the ugly time to prepare, but everyone did not experience a big scene, although they were a little busy at this time, it did not cause people to turn over in a panic, Chen Feng was still quite satisfied with this.
On the other hand, although Chen Feng explained yesterday that they didn't have to sleep for a while earlier, but everyone was used to getting up early, and now even if they were asked to sleep more, they wouldn't be able to sleep. On the one hand, he sighed that Chen Feng was a little kind, and on the other hand, he also knew that habits were not easy to change.
So everyone didn't really get up as late as Chen Feng said, and they still got up at the end of the day.
However, at this time, the sky was still dark, and everyone could not do anything even if they had already gotten up, although Chen Feng prepared candles and oil lamps for them, but at this time they did not have books, even if they wanted to read and write, it was also a problem.
Yun Ji lived in the last room, living with the other three adults, these three people were relatively low in official positions, and in the face of the people sent by Chen Feng, they didn't dare to be too disrespectful, so their attitude was quite respectful, and their words were quite polite.
The three of them got up early in the morning, but Yun Ji didn't react, still lying on the bed, sleeping in clothes.
In the face of this, the three of them can only look at each other, they are all colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty on weekdays, everyone got up at this time, so they didn't have much emotion, but today they met a person who didn't get up when they arrived in Yin, and they really felt strange.
In fact, Yun Ji had already woken up when the three of them got up, but because they didn't get up so early in Pingsuli, naturally they wouldn't get up early at this time, so they lay on the bed with their eyes closed and continued to rest, and it was impossible to continue sleeping.
The three of them didn't speak, they waited in the room, and it was six minutes before they got up, and when the three of them saw Yun Ji open his eyes, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Three adults, is there something wrong?" Yun Ji looked at the three people suspiciously, at first these three people didn't say a word, he felt that something was wrong, but now he saw the three of them relieved, and his heart was even more surprised.
"Well, do you have to sleep until this time every day before you get up?" A young man looked at Yun Ji with curiosity in his tone.
What is the problem? Yun Ji was puzzled, but he still replied, "Not really. ”
Hearing Yun Ji's reply, the three of them seemed to be relieved, they must have seen him accompany them, so Chen Feng ordered him to sleep for more hours.
However, before the three of them finished speaking, they were already interrupted by Yun Ji, "In the past, the summer day is to get up at five o'clock, and the winter day is to get up at the hour, not like today." Yun Ji's face was full of seriousness, and when he saw a few people as if he was shocked, he added another sentence, "There are no candles in the homes of ordinary people, and there is nothing important to do, so they will not get up early, and the master will not be harsh on us who are slaves, and the maids who only serve closely by the master's side will get up early and serve the master." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, there was surprise in their eyes, and there seemed to be some bitterness, it turned out that their seemingly unattainable status brought them to get up nearly two hours earlier than the common people every day, and it was really the common people who got up first!
Yun Ji went out with the wooden bucket in the room, fetched a bucket of water by the well, brought it back for washing, poured the water into the copper basin, moistened the handkerchief to wipe his hands and face, even if it was early summer, but the cold water just from the well was still cold to the bone marrow, Yun Ji's action also made the three of them feel cold.
"Brother, don't you have hot water?"
"Ordinary people's homes, there is no extra firewood, woodcutters go up the mountain to cut firewood, after carrying down the mountain is to be brought to the market to sell, a bundle of firewood can also be sold for four or five cents, where will the firewood be used to boil water?" As he spoke, he poured cold water and brushed his teeth.
Is that so? The hearts of these people were cold again, but it was not because the water was cold, but because of the deep meaning in Yun Ji's words, the people's lives were so miserable!
The rest of the people also found that there was no hot water supply in the morning, and they all came to look for Yun Ji, but they happened to hear Yun Ji's words, and their hearts were somewhat shocked.
For breakfast, there was only a pot of porridge, a few plates of pickles, and a few plates of locusts.
How clear is the congee? Even if you see the bottom at a glance, you can't see a few grains of rice. In the shop, the shopkeeper and his men had already withdrawn, leaving only everyone eating in the lobby.
"Brother Yun, this ......"
"What do you mean, sir?" Yun Ji responded while serving himself a bowl of porridge.
"This porridge fills your stomach?"
"Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to eat clean rice porridge at home, but a little brown rice and a bunch of wild vegetables are boiled into a pot, which is really unpalatable." This was not what Yun Ji said, but Chen Feng, who came in from outside, said, "You adults have lived in the temple for a long time, and you don't know the suffering of the people, so you can experience it a little in the next few days." Chen Feng had a smile on his face, but everyone was embarrassed.
"In addition, in ordinary people's homes, meals can only be eaten during the New Year." Every time Chen Feng said a word, he could hear bursts of inhalation among the crowd, and Chen Feng could only secretly say in his heart, he really didn't know the suffering of the people!
"There are two more points to remind you." Chen Feng's smiling appearance made everyone's hearts chill.
"First, today's locusts are leftover from yesterday, Fang Zhiming ordered the kitchen to be served after a while it was heated, if this meal cannot be eaten, and it will continue to be eaten tomorrow, a certain will also truthfully tell the saint today." This is a naked threat, that is, to warn them that if they dare to stay, His Majesty will deal with them.
However, without waiting for everyone to react, Chen Feng had already said the second point.
