Cheng Chuliang was originally a capable person.

In my previous life, when I was a country doctor, I was either treating people or on the way to see people, so I didn't have time to eat well, so I just dealt with a few mouthfuls.

But now, he didn't want to settle for anything.

As the young master of the national family, how can he settle for life!

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, must be compromised, is the style that the children of gentlemen should have.

I am really not used to eating in the Tang Dynasty, all the food is either boiled or baked, the taste is very unpalatable, last night and this morning, Cheng Chuliang only drank a little porridge.

When I turned around, I went to the blacksmith to make an iron pot, I couldn't eat stir-fried vegetables, and who could stand drinking porridge every day.

When he was eating this morning, Cheng Biting Jin's brows kept frowning, as if he had something on his mind, wouldn't it be because of that gamble?

"Dad, seeing that you are not in a high mood, tell your son about something, maybe your son can help."

Cheng Yanjin was angry when he saw him, thank God that you are a loser if you don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, and you are ashamed to say that you will help, is your ass itching again?

But he remembered that Cheng Chuliang had stayed in a magical place for five years, broadened his horizons, increased his knowledge, and maybe he could really help.

Cheng Biting Jin suddenly realized, and patted Cheng Chuliang's shoulder, "Yes, you have been to the fairy world, you must have a good idea!" ”

Cheng Chuliang had a sharp pain in his shoulder, he really didn't know the severity of this Cheng Jin's hand, could it be that he picked it up from the broken temple on a stormy night?

"It's the emperor's birthday in a month, what kind of birthday gift do you think I should give?"

This is a real problem.

Emperor Li Yuan is the father of Emperor Li Shimin, theoretically rich all over the world, and the whole world belongs to his old Li family, what does he lack, what can he lack?

There was one thing he was missing.

However, Cheng Chuliang can't give such a thing, Cheng Yanjin can't give it, and no one can give it.

Power!

The emperor deserved well and enjoyed the greatest pleasure of Lao Tzu in the whole world, but suddenly one day, he was thrown off the throne by his own son and became a high-ranking prisoner.

Who can be willing?

What can you do if you are unwilling?

Strength doesn't allow him to fight back.

The birthday gift has to satisfy Li Yuan and Li Shimin, it's really difficult.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it is difficult to turn the journey to the light.

As a traverser, if you can't come up with a good idea, you really eat so much rice in vain.

Cheng Chuliang was full of confidence, "Dad, this matter is on me, and you are satisfied!" ”

Who knows, what he was waiting for was not praise, but a fat beating.

"You learned to brag at a young age, you can't talk with your brain, you come when you open your mouth, and you are wrapped up, who gave you the courage!"

Cheng Chuliang was stunned, and then carried out deep introspection, he was too stupid, he was a newcomer, his personality was very different from the previous Cheng Chuliang, and he was unusually big in trouble, and it was strange not to be beaten.

But what kind of character is that Cheng Chuliang? Cheng Chuliang only knew that he was a pit goods, and he really didn't know anything else.

I have no choice but to use the old routine.

"Dad, I have seen a lot in that world and learned a lot, just with this adventure, can't I think of a suitable birthday gift?"

Cheng Yanjin's mood really eased a lot.

"Chu Liang, this is a big thing, don't trust it, it's not enough for the old man to be satisfied, you have to make the emperor, Your Majesty, and the queen all satisfied!"

"Dad, don't worry, I know in my heart, everything is OK!"

Looking at his son's gesture, Cheng Yanjin was a little confused, "What does OK mean?" ”

"OK is a language of that world, which means no problem, just rest assured! Also, Dad, there is one thing I must solemnly explain, that world is not the fairy world, the people there are ordinary people like us, and there are no immortals in this world! ”

This matter must be made clear, the ancients, especially the emperor, liked to pursue immortality, in case Li Shimin wanted to take him to see the immortals by himself, he would really be cold.

"Dad, I still need five hundred yuan, although the family is short of money, but I have to pay it back."

With the birthday gift, it is more legitimate for Cheng Chuliang to ask his family for money, and it cannot be refuted.

"This is a big deal, I'll let Lao Xiao borrow it for you."

Cheng Yanjin said that he was borrowing, in order to deceive Cheng Chuliang that he had no money at home, he really tried his best.

Looking at Cheng Chuliang's departing back, Cheng Yanjin fell into deep thought, he always felt that something was wrong.

After Cheng Chuliang came back, no matter how he did things or spoke, it seemed that he was very different from before, as if he had changed people......

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable, and Chu Liang said to himself, he has been there for five years, and the five days here are equivalent to five years over there.

Five years, maybe it can really change a person.

Half an hour later, Cheng Chuliang took Hao Jian and four guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and rushed into Datongfang with a murderous spirit.

Datongfang is located in the southwest of Chang'an City, where a group of craftsmen live, including carpenters, stonemasons, masons, and so on.

Those who rely on craftsmanship to eat are generally poor, such as the more than 30 carpenters in front of Cheng Chuliang.

As soon as they heard that there was work to do, they were like hyenas that had found their prey, and they all gathered around them at once.

That scene was very similar to the talent market in later generations, and he was almost holding a sign like a sewer in his hand.

There's no way, it's all about survival, you have to rob it.

At this time, if anyone still has the leisure to carry forward the noble character of civilization and courtesy, he will starve to death long ago.

Hao Jian and the four guards saw the formation and hurriedly blocked Cheng Chuliang.

After making sure that Cheng Chuliang's personal safety was no problem, Hao Jiancai cleared his throat and said: "My young master has some carpenter work that you need to do, and it is not a difficult job, just to build some furniture." ”

"How much do you pay?"

"yes, how much?"

According to the instructions of his young master, Hao Jian made a gesture of ten with both hands.

Cheng Chuliang learned from Cheng Dong and Xiao An in advance that the best craftsmen can earn up to forty or fifty yuan a day.

"Twenty dollars a day, those who are willing to do it stand on my right hand, and those who don't want to do it, where to stay cool!"

Hao Jian is a little impatient, we use you to look up to you, not everyone is qualified to do things for the Suguo Mansion.

The crowd exploded.

"What's that? Twenty cents? We usually have at least 25 wen a day! ”

"yes, it's too picky, I can't take this job!"

"Yes, our craft is also well-known in Chang'an City, if we do it for twenty dollars, this signboard will be smashed in the future!"

……

Four or five people thought that this kind of squirting was a pain in the idle eggs, and they came to tease them, patting their butts and flashing people.

I can't afford to provoke it, can't I hide far away?

A man named Zhu Jin put his hand in his sleeve, returned to his place, and continued to squat on the side of the road, quietly waiting for the next customer.

There are eleven people who follow Zhu Jin's example and go to the side of the road to continue squatting.

The remaining seventeen, after some hesitation and entanglement, finally stood on Hao Jian's right hand, that is, they agreed.

No way, life is not easy at home.

If you don't work, you have to eat and drink for nothing, how much food you have to waste!

For a day, at least twenty dollars will be credited to the account, less is less, but it is better than nothing.

Cheng Chuliang walked forward with his hands behind his back, like a military parade of leaders, slowly walked in front of them, and then walked back the same way.

"You guys, yes, but it's a pity...... I don't need you, Hao Jian, to call those people who are squatting in the pit. ”

The seventeen craftsmen were stunned.

Grass tower mother, dare to play us!

Get him!

But they looked at the guys in the hands of the four fierce and vicious people behind Cheng Chuliang, endured and endured, endured and endured, and finally, suppressed the impulse in their hearts.

Hao Jian was also very confused.

Which one is this play, didn't the second young master say that he was looking for a carpenter, twenty yuan, this price is already very low, and the young master is still not satisfied?

Unexpectedly, the second young master turned out to be an iron rooster.

I didn't have the opportunity to contact him before, I didn't understand it, but now I see his personality clearly, I thought I could drink more soup with him, but it seems that I miscalculated......

Hao Jian is full of deep worries about his future life.

Cheng Liang Tsai carefully looked at the twelve carpenters who did not bend their waists for twenty pennies.

With a thin body, a dark face, and rough hands, he looks like an experienced veteran driver...... Well, I'm mistaken, it's an old carpenter, and the hand work must be very good.
