What is the taste of meat, Zhang Yiwan can't remember it clearly, it's not that he has no money and can't afford to buy meat, it's that he is reluctant to buy it, the money he earns has to buy a dowry for his sister, build a house for his younger brother, and buy household goods, how is it not enough, where is the spare money to buy meat to eat.

He can't remember the last time he ate meat, it seems that it was when the second brother married his daughter-in-law, the white flour bun and pickles are already a great delicacy in his eyes, the meat is too luxurious, it's not that he doesn't like to eat, but he doesn't dare to think about it, usually he just drinks some batter and a baked cake, and the porridge is rarely drunk, because rice is also more expensive than coarse noodles.

Maybe he is also the same as Luo Zongshan, with the dream of having money and eating meat, now it seems that the wages everywhere are about the same, and there are white buns and meat here, why not go?

He couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he didn't hesitate to squeeze in and register, and soon, he followed behind a guard with ten fellow villagers who had signed up, crossed the overpass, and crossed several corridors to another train station.

There are many scary trains in this railway station, but all of them are trucks, not a single passenger car, he has been on the train for more than ten days, so he naturally knows what a freight car is, what a passenger car, isn't this truck pulling goods, what are you bringing them here for, do you start working now?

He has no opinion on when to start working, the sooner he starts working, the sooner he makes money, and he even has a faint expectation that he will be able to start working immediately.

However, he was disappointed, and the guard led them to turn left and right in the wagon, and finally came to a wagon, where there was nothing beside it, only rows of guards standing, and there were a dozen or so on either side of each carriage, and they stood there straight, without doing anything.

The guard who led the way reported a few words to the master of a hundred households, and then took them to the outside of the first carriage, and directly ordered: "Salute first put in the carriage, those who want to sleep can go in and fall asleep, those who don't want to sleep can sit inside, squat outside, don't go too far, I am not responsible for getting lost." “

With that, he turned around and walked back, as if continuing to pick up the others.

Zhang Yiwan thought about it, and climbed into the carriage with a few fellows, it wasn't that he had any luggage, he just changed clothes in two pieces and carried a rag on his back, there was no weight at all, it was the same whether he put it or not, he just wanted to see what it was like in the truck.

He climbed up and looked at it, he was dumbfounded, there were straw mats on the ground, I don't know how many there were, except for a narrow passage in the middle, the straw mats on both sides were half a foot high!

Just as he was standing there in a daze, there was a sudden humming sound in the gray corner in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but look away, and there was a pig cage in the innermost corner, and a dozen or so white piglets were arching around in it.

The little piglet is not bought to eat, and everyone can't help but gather around curiously and discuss.

There are more and more people coming in from outside, and the inside of the carriage is becoming more and more lively, everyone is from Nanyang Mansion, Runing Mansion and Ruzhou, it can be said that they are all fellow villagers, and they are not very different from each other, everyone has a longing for a better life, and there are naturally a lot of common topics to talk about, among which the most talked about is digging coal.

In everyone's impression, digging coal is drilled into the deep coal well, a hoe and hoe digging, and then a burden of picking up, digging two or three thousand catties a day, it is not impossible, mainly depending on the depth of the mine and the distance of the distance, to the mine is not deep, the place where the coal is handed is also close, digging six or seven hours a day, can also dig out two or three thousand catties.

Everyone chatted for about an hour, and the guards outside also climbed up, as if there was still the Qianhu Lord who had been shouting on the platform, and as soon as he came in, he shouted again: "The big guys are all seated, and they will drive immediately." “

This truck compartment is about the same size as the passenger car, if you squeeze hard, it will not be a problem to squeeze in 300 people, but now there are not even 150 people inside, and the place is still very loose, everyone squeezes it, and it is no problem for all to lie down.

The truck finally started slowly, and the sound of everyone chatting became smaller and smaller, after the excitement of the first arrival, many people chose to lie down and sleep, after all, they have been sitting in the car for more than ten days, there is no place to lie on the bus, they are all sleeping on their stomachs or on their backs, saying that they are not tired is false, and soon, the carriage will lie down in a large area, and the snoring sound is louder than the friction between the wheels and the rails.

Zhang Yiwan was also very tired, and soon he was like everyone else, lying back, squeezing into the crowd, and falling asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yiwan was shouted in a daze, saying that he had arrived at the place.

His stomach was not very hungry, it should not be half a day, he stretched, shook his spirits, and got out of the car after everyone.

The sky was just a little gray, it seemed that it should not be the hour, this is a station without even a wall and a station gate, everyone got off the train and was quickly gathered together, except for the recruiting guards, there were about 600 people.

They followed the guards, and soon came to a row of huge brick buildings, and in the distance there were faint layers of terraced fields, and a huge earth-turning dragon was parked on it, which seemed to be cultivated land, and in the gray sky, everyone did not pay attention, and the ground was full of black coal.

Zhang Yiwan originally thought that these tall brick buildings were the residences of the guards, but he never thought that these guards would directly bring them in, one room for five people, a large bunk, wardrobes, tables, benches, and even thatched houses!

If five people living in a huge room have surprised them, the next dinner has scared them even more, a basin of white bread, a basin of stew, a plate of vegetables, directly delivered to each room, when did the vegetables become a decoration, and the pork became the main dish?

I'm afraid that there are more than ten catties of pork in that big pot, and five people will eat it!

This meal, everyone is addicted to pork, everyone is overwhelmed, and the next thing is to sleep, the hot kang is burning, the new quilt is covered, this early winter night, it is as warm as a summer night!

This night Zhang 10,000 sleep is called a sweet ah, pork can also be eaten in large chunks, eat as much as he wants, he feels, he has never eaten like this in his life, it seems that he chose to come here to dig coal is the right choice, at least the food and accommodation are countless times better than at home.

The next morning, when the work finally began, everyone was accompanied by a guard, who led them to the dump truck and shovel, and went straight to the terraces.

At this time, the earth ploughing dragon was already rumbling forward, and everyone walked in to see what kind of soil was on the ground, all coal!
