Chapter 212: Missing His Old Donkey
If time can go back to the past, Niu Sanduo feels that he will definitely live a good life. He no longer complains that the instant noodles are not delicious. He will never look down on it again, the old godmother he ate a long time ago and was about to vomit, as well as Fuling mustard.
Moreover, he will keep his feet on the ground and find a job well.
Whether he works in a factory or delivers food and couriers, as long as he can return to his original society, he will definitely do it.
In this ancient society, the longer he stayed, the more profound Niu Sanduo understood a truth.
Ancient societies with backward productive forces were the most severely oppressed.
Especially this kind of deeply Confucian cultural education. The whole society pays attention to the monarch and the minister, the father and the son.
In the patriarchal society, Niu Sanduo knows that in his life, there is no possibility of turning over.
In his life, he can only be a farmer who will always eat in the field, and he will always be a farmer who eats the last meal but not the next!
He is not the top prince and grandson nobleman of this country at all.
He is not one of the rulers, and he will never enjoy it, with clothes to stretch out his hands, food to eat, hordes of servants to serve him, and hordes of wives and concubines waiting for him to live a good life.
At this moment, while eating the hairy chestnut sticky Niu Sanduo, he secretly shed tears.
At the beginning, he thought that after he traveled to ancient times, he would definitely be able to become an emperor with great power in his hands, or a general with great power in the world.
No matter how bad it is, he should be able to be a rich, powerful and status, but very idle prince, the clan.
But where did he think that after he crossed over, he would become a low-level farmer in this empire, accounting for 99.999%?!
If he had known that he had crossed into such an identity, he would never have thought that he would have crossed over.
What kind of people are these ancient low-level peasants?
After Niu Sanduo experienced a long period of hardship, he felt that this ancient low-level peasant lived like a walking corpse and lived a particularly numb life. Sometimes, they live like the herbivores of the African savannah, which are destined to be eaten.
When Niu Sanduo thought of this, he suddenly thought of a word he heard when he was studying, called "Kangqian Shengshi".
Niu Sanduo now feels that the ancient society he has traveled through is not comparable to the prosperous Kangqian era at all!
He thought to himself, if he really had to cross over, it would be better to travel to the prosperous era of Kangqian than to cross here!
Niu Sanduo felt that if he traveled to the prosperous era of Kangqian, he would at least be able to eat a full meal, right?
At least make sure he wears warm clothes, right?
He at least has a chance to study and take the imperial examination and change his fate, right?
However, Niu Sanduo, who was trying to chew duck meat, didn't know that it was not easy for the people at the bottom in the Kangqian era to survive!
This so-called prosperous Kangqian era was a high-yield grain crop such as sweet potato and corn imported from abroad, which laid the foundation for the entire Qing Empire. And the number of people of the Qing Dynasty will directly double in that short period of 100 years. From 200 million to 400 million.
If the Qing Dynasty did not have high-yield sweet potatoes and corn, as well as other high-yield grain crops, then the population of this empire would not have risen so fast.
Although Niu Sanduo knew this fact, he still felt in his heart that if he traveled to the prosperous era of Kangqian, then he would definitely live better than he was now!
What kind of life is he living now?
He felt like a beast.
After he crossed over here, he could only eat two meals a day. But as a result, he had a meal, but not a meal.
One meal a day, or three meals in two days, it's a regular occurrence.
Moreover, such things happened not only to him, but also to his father, his eldest brother, several of his own brothers, and other people.
In normal times, he has to do a lot of work. He feels like he's working 697 hours.
In the morning, the whole family had to get up before 6 o'clock.
After working day and night, at nine o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark outside, and they could not see, so they thought about resting.
I do this every day, 7 days a week.
This is the case every week, every month, and every year.
Niu Sanduo sometimes felt like he was turning an old donkey around the stone mill at home.
Thinking of the old donkey, Niu Sanduo missed a little bit of the taste of the meat on its body.
The old donkey was with them for a long time. It's been almost 20 years.
The people in their family are quite reluctant to him.
However, it tastes so good. It smells so good, too!
If the old donkey is not a male, but a female, the kind that can give birth. His dad wouldn't kill it.
However, it can't give birth.
Therefore, as soon as they had a large family, they could only endure the pain and kill it.
Niu Sanduo ate the neck of the big fat duck in his mouth, but what he thought about was the burning of donkey meat.
As he ate it, he felt that the duck neck he was holding in his hand was not so fragrant.
This duck has no meat on its neck.
He was now eager to gnaw the duck's neck into slag. However, he felt that he still couldn't get much meat.
"Dad, I want to eat duck legs!"
Hearing Niu Sanduo's shout, Niu Caigao, who was sitting next to him, looked at him fiercely. "Nope!"
"The duck leg has long been eaten by the children of the family."
In Niu Caigao's eyes, his youngest son is the best to be lazy.
In normal times, when he asked him to do something, he complained bitterly.
Over the years, he has taught him how to sow seeds, how to weed, and how to cut wheat every year. But as for him, as long as he bends his waist, he says that he hurts here and there.
Every time I saw him dying after doing farm work, Niu Caigao felt that he was too much of an eyesore.
Usually the work he does is the lightest. However, he couldn't bear it. But when it comes to eating, he always wants to eat the best.
For this kind of son, how can Niu Caigao not be disappointed in his heart?
Niu Caigao, who had long been heartbroken to his youngest son, reluctantly said a word to Niu Sanduo, he began to lower his head and eat in a big gulp, and the hairy chestnuts in the bowl were stewed into a mush.
There is no need to peel the shells of hairy chestnuts.
When it is paste, it can make people feel full.
After eating a big bowl of paste, Niu Caigao ate the duck's head again.
There isn't much meat on the duck's head.
However, for cattle that have not eaten meat for a long time, it is high, but it is particularly fragrant.
He was like he was eating some kind of treasure.
Eat very seriously.
Every trace of meat on the duck's head, he chewed and chewed carefully.
felt that the taste of meat in his mouth was about to disappear, so he swallowed that little bit of shredded meat into his stomach.
