There is only one grocery store in the town, which also functions as a small restaurant, and there is a wooden couch outside the store, the couch board is not painted, and there is only a small table on it, and there are a few straw futons on the side of the table, which is regarded as the home of the restaurant!

Li Rizhi stepped forward and said to the old man who was sitting in a daze in the shop: "Uncle, can you sell wine and food?" ”

The old man stood up, looked at Li Rizhi and a few of them, and said embarrassedly: "A few nobles, there are only multigrain porridge and pickles in the small shop, and there are some wines, but they are all bad wines mixed with water, I'm afraid they won't get into the mouths of nobles!" ”

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "Uncle, you are honest, you have mixed water in the wine, and you actually said it truthfully, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell it!" As he spoke, he sat down on the couch.

Seeing that he didn't mind, the old man's expression relaxed a little, and said: "Usually the guests who come to the shop are neighbors in the town, it would be good to have spare money to eat out, and it would be a fairy to drink wine, how could you care if the wine in the bowl was mixed with water, and the shop only sold wine with water, Tong Su was not deceived and never deceived people!" ”

Li Rizhi laughed, Fu Guibao and they were also happy, everyone nodded, this old man said it too well, wine is never sold if it is not mixed with water, everyone knows, whoever dares to say that he sells real wine, he will be in a hurry!

Li Ri knew: "A few of us are hungry, bother the old man to bring us some multigrain porridge and pickles to eat, don't drink the wine first, just drink hot water!" ”

The old man said: "This is simple. He turned around and took a few large bowls and wooden spoons, and scrubbed them vigorously by the water tank before serving the porridge.

Li Rizhi asked: "Uncle, this town doesn't look very lively, this is the Gyeonggi area, and all business is easy to do, how can it be so depressed?" ”

The old man said: "Listening to the guest's accent, it's a foreigner, I don't know the rules of our town, this town used to be a prisoner camp, and all the prisoners who lived here were prisoners, and so was the old man's father!" ”

After saying this, the old man poured another bowl of hot water for each of them, and then sat down aside, and then he was in a daze.

Although the old man only said that this was a former prisoner camp, the matter was basically clear.

Prisoners are not necessarily prisoners of war, but may also be family members of prisoners of war, some prisoners of war will be reintegrated into the army, but will be sent out to carry out the most dangerous missions in battle, so the casualties are huge, many prisoners of war may never be able to reunite with their families, and the life of the family will of course not be easy.

Even if the captives regain their freedom after the war, they have no land, no money, and can only get poorer and poorer, and inspirational stories of poor people becoming rich through hard work must be rare in reality, at least not in this town.

Li Rizhi ate some multigrain porridge and two pickles, and his stomach was no longer hungry, so he stopped eating.

Li Rizhi said again: "Boss, boss! Excuse me, if I want to find some men with strong legs and feet to help me do some hard work, do you have them in town? ”

The old man turned his face and said: "Yes, there are more than 300 strong men in this town, of which more than 290 are coolies, especially the porters, even if they carry seventy or eighty pounds of things, they can walk twenty miles in one breath, manage three full meals a day, and walk fifty or sixty miles is absolutely no problem, and the salary is not much, it is definitely cheaper than you hiring cattle and horses!" ”

Li Rizhi nodded slightly, Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi glanced at each other, and everyone thought in their hearts: "There is indeed a porter here, carrying seventy or eighty pounds of things on his back, walking fifty or sixty miles a day, hey, if you don't have the strength to do this, say fifty or sixty miles, you can't walk five or six miles!" ”

Cheng Zizi said: "I once carried hundreds of pounds of things, one day and one night, walked eighty miles, and I didn't eat a single meal......

The old man glanced at him, and saw that Cheng Zizi really looked like a martial artist, but he shook his head and said, "Can a noble person be like this every day?" ”

Cheng Zizi was slightly embarrassed: "How can this be ......?"

The old man said: "The young men in the town can, well, as the little old man said before!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "If most people in this town are working as porters to earn a living, then this range is too big, but not everyone is good at gambling!" ”

He asked: "Uncle, are there any good gamblers in your town, it is very hard to be a porter coolie, is there anyone who particularly wants to get rich, so he is particularly good at gambling, and he is not good at gambling and likes to cheat?" ”

"Everyone wants to get rich, as coolies, there are many good drinkers, there are many good gamblers, there are many people who beat their wives, and the little old man also has these three problems, what do the guests want to ask?" The old man had an impatient expression on his face.

Seeing that the old man was disgusted all of a sudden, Li Rizhi was a little puzzled, this old man's temper was a little weird!

Seeing this, Fu Guibao took out a money bag from his arms, poured out more than a dozen golden beans, threw them on the table, and said, "This is the rice money, my eldest brother has something to ask you, you should answer truthfully!" ”

Fu Dashao has the most likable personality, if he doesn't agree with a word, he immediately throws money, and the golden beans are rolling on the table, sparkling, dazzling to watch.

The old man is naturally no exception, he is a poor man, who has never seen so much gold, swallowed his saliva, and muttered: "Nobleman...... Does the noble man want to buy someone's daughter, or do you want to buy a small slave? ”

After hearing this, Li Rizhi realized that this old man regarded them as human traffickers, and maybe he thought they were human traffickers!

He thought to himself: "It seems that I can't ask anything, so Xiaojie has already revealed his money, otherwise, we will also be a fat sheep, and see if anyone wants to slaughter the fat sheep and rob us?" ”

Thinking like this, Li Rizhi said: "I walked around the town just now, and saw some children, both men and women are not very likely, and the adults will come in the evening, let them bring the children over, let us choose, as long as the children are good, they can be sold at a good price, then we will not hesitate to give more money." ”

Chen Yingying glanced at Li Rizhi and thought: "How can you pretend to be a human trafficker, it's really disgusting." ”

The old man's face became ugly, he looked at the golden beans on the table again, sighed, and turned his face away, although the gold and silver are good, but the people who want to sell their children must be destitute families, and they are neighbors, and no one will feel good when they see it.

Li Rizhi glanced at Fu Guibao and them, and then said, "We'll drink here, and when the people in the town come back in the evening, we'll pick the children at that time." ”

Fu Guibao said twice, "I must pick a few more." ”

After thinking about it, Li Rizhi said again: "Why don't you go to other places to go around, I will stay alone, I don't think I can pick out a few of their broken places, I can deal with them alone!" ”

It's a bait!
