Zhao Erga looked at his family's surprised faces, and while helping them to pick up the meat, he laughed and said: "I stayed at the owner's place for ten days, and I had enough white rice three meals a day, and I could drink a big bowl of broth at noon, and there were several fatty slices in the soup." ”

The blind old lady wanted to give the bacon in the bowl to the two grandsons, but Zhao Erga refused to let her live, and said with a smile: "Mother...... You can eat, and I will work hard in the owner's house in the future, and when you become regular, I will take you to live in the city, so that you can enjoy a few years of happiness. ”

After listening to her son's words, the blind old lady smiled with relief: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as you are safe, I can see your father with peace of mind." ”

Zhao Erga's brother next to him desperately pulled rice into his mouth, and asked eagerly, "Brother...... Then I'll sign up tomorrow, I eat meat every day, it's worth dying in this life. ”

The blind old lady glared, and scolded the second child in the family: "You stay at home honestly, your brother is a thief, I am worried enough, do you want to make your mother angry." ”

The second child saw that his mother was angry, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to pick up rice, but his eyes glanced at Zhao Erga from time to time, obviously the eldest brother said that he was tempted, three meals of white rice every day, and he could eat meat at noon, this is the life of a fairy.

At this time, the two shantytowns outside Linqingzhou City have been completely chaotic. Hundreds of homeless people who signed up to join the Far East were not only not pulled by the thief army to be cannon fodder, but came back with 100 catties of terrier rice and bacon and salted fish.

Moreover, these people are wearing brand new clothes, suede shoes on their feet, and a bamboo hat on their heads. Zhao Erga didn't want to wear a hat either, but his hair was shaved naked, so he wore a hat to cover it up.

In fact, there were many people who wanted to sign up, but the rumors spread outside, so they all wanted to see it. Now that hundreds of homeless people have returned, not only are there no, but they are also showing around that they follow the thief army to eat three full meals a day and a broth at noon, and now everyone is not calm.

There were also more than a dozen men gathered outside Zhao Erga's house, all of whom followed the brothers to mingle on the dock. Now the shantytown is in an uproar, so everyone came to Zhao Erga's house, hoping that he would help come up with ideas.

"Brother Zhao, is it true that you have three meals of white rice a day with the thief army?"

"I've heard people say that you can still eat a few pieces of meat at noon, how do I think it's. Big brother, tell us about it......"

"Brother Zhao, we have always listened to you, and now that the brothers are here, I want you to help us get an idea."

"Right...... Big brother, everyone has been with you for so many years, we will believe you, anyway, no matter the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we will follow you in the future. ”

Zhao Erga looked at the group of brothers, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone asked me to make up my mind, then I'll just say it." I've already followed the owner, and I've even signed the deed of sale. As for whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, I really don't know this, but three meals of white rice a day, and a broth to drink at noon, this is true. ”

A group of homeless people listened to Zhao Erga's words, and before he could continue, they became irritable.

"Big brother, it's really three meals of white rice a day, my God, if I can really do that, I will admit it by selling my cheap life."

"Three meals of white rice a day, how much food does the thief army have to consume? Big brother, did the thief army let you go desperately for them......"

"The Ming officials and soldiers can't eat white rice every day, let me eat enough every day, even if I am desperate, I will admit it."

Zhao Erga shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you the truth, these three full meals are not so delicious. I have to get up early in the morning and run ten miles, I have to practice for a few hours during the day, and I have to run another ten miles before dinner, hehe...... I don't want to mention that taste. ”

After he said this, the group of homeless people were silent. But even people who have never believed in three meals of white rice a day can't help but believe it, it seems that these three meals of white rice are really not so delicious, which is simply a scourge.

A man said ruthlessly: "I don't care, if I can really eat white rice three times a day, even if it is a scourge of Daoshan, my Lao Luo will break through." I don't care if you guys go or not, anyway, I'm going to sign up tomorrow for ......"

After he finished speaking, he nodded at everyone, then turned around and left with a sad face.

"Lao Tzu will also go, I have lived for decades, I have never lived such a day, tomorrow Lao Tzu will also go ......"

"I'll go too, no matter how bitter it is, will it be bitter when I escape from the famine, I'll fight hard."

The rest of the men were also ruthless and turned to leave. Zhao Erga's brother looked at the backs of a group of fellow villagers, turned his head and said, "Brother...... I'll be ...... tomorrow too."

Zhao Erga nodded and said, "Hmm...... If you want to go, I think the owner is good, a bunch of people who rely on strength to eat haha, what do people want us to do. If you go, our brothers will also take care of it. ”

When he said this, he patted his younger brother on the shoulder again, and then said earnestly: "When we get to the owner, we will do whatever the owner asks us to do, don't make a mistake." ”

Early the next morning, before the Far Eastern Army arrived, there was a long queue at the registration point outside Linqingzhou. Wang Xiao and the others came to take a look, and they were all taken aback by the lively scene here.

"Old Han, ...... quickly You immediately go back to the garrison and ask the commander to transfer another platoon, no...... Bring in another company. Others take care to maintain order on the spot. ”

Several local officials who came with the Far Eastern Army were also stunned by the scene in front of them. A few days ago, only dozens or hundreds of people came to sign up every day, but how can so many people come today.

Because he didn't expect so many people to come back today, Wang Xiao only brought a squad of soldiers. There were two or three thousand people who could sign up, and a few officers and soldiers from the Far East could suffer.

These men who have been fighting on the dock all the year round are all well-informed people who are very good at reading people's faces, and several officers and soldiers from field divisions are all children of low-level peasant families, which is the opponent of these old fritters on the dock.

As soon as he wanted to deal with them ruthlessly, he immediately knelt down, and a group of men cried like a tearful man.

But as soon as they turned around and left, the gang of men stood up in an instant, and scrambled to squeeze towards the registration point, making the situation more and more chaotic.

Fortunately, the officers and men of an overseas company arrived here in time, and a group of fierce and vicious ruffians immediately entered the state, and the order was stabilized by kicking and beating.

Most of them were born in the Ming army, and they knew too well about the hob meat on the dock. Several company and platoon commanders swept their eyes a few times, and then they brought out a few quacky ruffians in the crowd, and more than a dozen ruffians picked up the butts of their guns and smashed them, and they were almost stoned to death, so they tied them to the stakes next to them.

This move had an immediate effect, and the other homeless people instantly became regular. Even so, the ruffians of these overseas companies continued to pick up the butts of their guns and smash them, and the originally chaotic situation quickly stabilized. (To be continued.) )
