Chapter 533: Porter Li Zhi
In the back garden of the Qi Wangfu in Keelung City, in order to let the ugly and ugly have a place to play, Li Su specially built a huge shed in the garden, which was covered with all kinds of green vines to block the sunlight in the sky, and under the shed, there were all kinds of entertainment tools built for the ugly, such as the slides and wooden horses in the toy room when they were in Dengzhou, all of which were moved here.
In a clearing under the shed, there are five wooden fairways divided by white lines, and on each lane are piles of wooden bottles, each stacked with ten pieces, in a regular triangle shape, which looks very neat. And in a scream, five round wooden balls, fast or slow, rolled through the fairway towards the wooden bottle.
With the sound of 'bang', except for the wooden ball on the far left, which knocked down all the bottles, the other four wooden balls did not knock down all the bottles, and the most outrageous was the wooden ball on the far right, because the force was too small, it didn't roll in front of the bottle and stopped.
"Oh~, great, I've won again!" The son jumped up at once, and the ball on the left was thrown by her. The son is playing bowling with Cai'er, Chouchou, Australia, and Nanyang five people are playing the bowling ball made by Li Su, speaking of which the son is really talented, and he quickly mastered the skills, and in just a few days, he has surpassed Li Su and become the number one master in the Qi Palace.
As for the ball on the far right, which is too weak, it is naturally thrown by Li Su's youngest son Nanyang, who is only two years old now, even if it is the lightest bowling ball, he can only hold it with both hands, and then push forward awkwardly, and every time because of excessive force, he let himself climb down the fairway at once. But this kid is very skinny, and he never cries when he falls. Instead, he likes to climb up the fairway to the bottles at the other end and knock them down one by one. Then sit there and proudly yell at the son-in-law: "Aunt~Aunt~"
Seeing the cute appearance of the villain in Nanyang, Li Su, Wen Xin and others who were watching immediately laughed heartily. Speaking of Nanyang is Li Su's eldest son, the correct name is taken by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin thought hard for more than a month, and finally settled on the name Li Mian, the crown has many interpretations, one of which refers to the ceremonial crown worn by the emperor and scholars, but since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, only the emperor can wear the crown. And Li Shimin actually set the name of Nanyang as the crown, and the intention is very intriguing.
"Stinky Nanyang, you're playing tricks again!" The son deliberately said angrily, and then the path passed, picked up Nanyang and spanked him, but the little guy was scared and screamed, and then suddenly opened his mind, and began to shout "good aunt ~ good aunt ~" non-stop, and finally made the son giggle.
The son has been playing for so long. At this time, he was also a little thirsty, so he put down Nanyang, ran to Li Yu's table, and reached out to drink a bowl of tea. Then he said to Li Su: "Sixth brother, where did the ninth brother go, why can't you see anyone when you arrive in Taiwan?" ”
After hearing this, Li Su showed a playful smile and said, "Don't worry, son." You don't have to worry about your ninth brother, he didn't come to Taiwan to play. My father had a lot of things to do with him, so in a short time. I guess you and Cai'er won't be able to see him anymore. ”
"Ah, I finally came to Taiwan, why is Brother Jiu busy with something again?" The son said a little unhappily. When she was in Chang'an, she had the best relationship with Li Su and Li Zhi, but later Li Su went out as an official, and only a handful of times he returned to Chang'an, and after Li Zhi became the prince, he didn't have time to accompany her anymore, I thought that I could be with my two brothers this time, but I didn't expect Li Zhi to disappear as soon as he arrived in Taiwan.
Seeing that the son was a little unhappy, Wen Xin next to him immediately said: "Son, although Keelung is lively here, there is nothing to do, why don't we go to Penghu in a few days, your sixth brother has an island there, the scenery on the island is very beautiful, and we can also swim, grill fish, and collect shells on the island......"
"Okay, okay, let's go to Penghu, I haven't been there for a long time, I really miss the feeling of swimming in the sea!" Before Wen Xin's words were finished, Cai'er rushed over and said. She was born in Tainan, not far from Penghu, and is very familiar with it, and it is also one of the places she wants to go to the most.
Although the son-in-law is almost twelve years old, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his personality is innocent, just like a child, so when he heard that the two sisters-in-law praised Penghu so well, he immediately put aside the matter of the ninth brother Li Zhi, clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Great, I have long heard Sister Cai'er say that it is there, and then Sister Cai'er you must teach me how to swim!" ”
Seeing that his son had diverted his attention, Li Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, before he gave Li Zhi two suggestions, one was easy and free, and the other was very hard, but Li Zhi unexpectedly chose the second one, and now he has started a new life under his own arrangement.
This is a timber warehouse in a shipyard on the edge of Keelung Port, the dry warehouse is full of mountains of wood, a team of workers are carrying these wood, and then transported by the big carriage on the rails, although the train has appeared now, but this timber warehouse is not far from the dock, if you use the train, the cost is too high, so I have been using this kind of horse-drawn carriage on the rails, which can also transport a large amount of wood at a time.
"Brothers, work harder, as long as this batch of wood is finished, we can rest today!" A sturdy middle-aged man shouted, then bent down and picked up a piece of sawn timber with another companion, and threw it a few steps onto a four-wheeled carriage perched on railroad tracks, with a loud 'thud'. He was the foreman of a team of five men.
"Liu Tou, do you have any mung bean soup to drink when you're done?" A young man with an obvious Jiangnan accent asked loudly. Although the weather in Taipei is not as hot as in Tainan, they all do heavy work, so they are already tired and sweaty after a while, and naturally want to drink a bowl of cold mung bean soup to relieve the fever.
"Little rabbit cub knows how to drink, hurry up and finish the work, today is Brother Yang's first day of work, I have a treat in the evening, everyone go to the restaurant at the east entrance of the factory to drink a few glasses!" The middle-aged man known as Liu Tou scolded loudly, Liu Tou was the oldest in this work team, don't look at his scolding, but he is very measured, and he usually takes care of the brothers in the team, so he is very respected by everyone.
"Liu Tou is too polite, if you want to invite you, it should be me who invites everyone, how can you let Liu Tou break the bank?" A young and delicate young man next to Liu Tou said with a smile. He is the Yang brother in Liu Tou's mouth, he just came here to work today, his name is Yang Jiu, he looks seventeen or eighteen years old, his figure is a little thin, but he works very hard, he is shirtless like everyone else, but his skin is very white and delicate, and there is a clear difference from the dark complexion of other workers.
"Brother Yang don't have to be polite, this is our rule here, every new brother, Liu Tou will invite us out for a few drinks, and you don't have to worry about him, Sister-in-law Liu is very strict, Liu Tou doesn't have much money in his hand, so he can't spend much on us!" The guy with a Jiangnan accent who spoke just now laughed again, and by the way, Liu Tou's shortcomings were exposed, and the others who provoked him laughed, and Liu Tou scolded angrily, picked up a piece of wood and wanted to fight, but unfortunately this Jiangnan guy ran away with a smile.
Yang Jiu also laughed, when he first came, Liu Tou had already introduced him, the guy with a Jiangnan accent was named Hu Han, a native of Jizhou, Jiangnan Province, to be exact, a fugitive living in Jizhou, who only moved to Taiwan half a year ago, and had been working in the factory for three or four months. In addition, the beard that carries things with Liu Tou is called Daqiang, and the tall thin man who is with Hu Han is surnamed Luo, but everyone calls him a bamboo pole, as for the one who carries things with Yang Jiu, it is a man in his twenties, named Wang San, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and entered the factory two days earlier than Yang Jiu, usually does not like to speak, but has a lot of strength.
Yang Jiu is Li Zhi's pseudonym, a few days ago Li Su gave him two suggestions, the first suggestion is to let him walk around Taiwan, and then rely on his own eyes to observe, everything he can learn depends on himself. The second suggestion is for Li Su to help him arrange, so that he can completely abandon the identity of the prince and integrate into the life of Taiwan as an ordinary person, taste the ups and downs of the people at the bottom, and increase his social experience.
For Li Zhi, the first suggestion was just to let him observe as an outsider, just like he had been in Datang and Dengzhou and other places before, going around at will, and Li Zhi was already a little tired of this. And the second suggestion is completely different, especially for him to temporarily abandon the identity of the prince and become an ordinary person again, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for Li Zhi, who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child and has no chance to go out at all, and only here in Taiwan, Li Zhi has such an opportunity, if it is in the Tang Dynasty, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, even with the support of Li Shimin, he does not dare to do it.
Unsurprisingly, Li Zhi naturally chose the second one, but Li Zhi laughed at the time and asked Li Zhi to change his name to Yang Jiu, which was still taken by Cai'er for him, followed by her surname Yang, originally Li Zhi wanted to use his mother's surname, but unfortunately the surname of the eldest grandson was too rare, so he simply followed Cai'er's surname.
Then after a few days of preparation, Li Zhi was arranged by Li Su to this shipyard, and it was from the bottom to move wood in this warehouse, each team has a fixed amount every day, finish it early and get off work early, if the task is tight, you need to work overtime, sometimes even all night without rest, of course, overtime is to have overtime pay. However, Li Zhi hoped that he would never work overtime, because it had only been a day, and he was already tired and his whole body was sore, and he wanted to lie on the ground and rest immediately.
