The man who drove the chariot did not seem to be very skillful, so he dragged the reins of his horse forward, and did not pay attention to see the wheel of the chariot stuck on a stone.

The violent jolting caused several bags on the carriage to fall aside, and one of the bags, as if the rope that bound the bags had not been loosened firmly, and the yellow cornmeal spilled out along the mouth of the bag where the rope was spread.

Seeing that such good cornmeal was sprinkled on the board, an old man in the crowd ran over quickly. "Iniquity! Stop, how much food are you trying to waste? ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at the cornmeal that was about two or three catties spilled on the car board, and rubbed his hands in distress.

"If this cornmeal is boiled into a mush, it will be enough for our family to eat for several days." After speaking, the old man squatted down, picked up some cornmeal, and prepared to put it back in the bag.

"Uncle, you can't put these cornmeals on the board back in the bag."

"This~" The old man moved his lips, looked down at the cornmeal he was holding in his hand, and said with some emotion: "This is all good food." "And the old man had already smelled it just now, it was pure corn fragrance.

"Uncle, I know this is food. But the grain was already scattered on the wagons, and it could no longer be eaten by the workers. ”

"The man who does the work?"

"Yes, all this food is for the people who build the road."

"For the people who build the road, eat such good cornmeal?"

"Of course. The adults said, I will eat corn tortillas and tofu soup at noon today. So I have to get this food to the construction site quickly. ”

After the driver finished speaking, the people around him were not calm, they could see clearly at this time, these cornmeals, but the best cornmeals they had ever seen.

Especially the old man who was still holding the cornmeal in his hands, he didn't know what to do. He lowered his head and looked at the cornmeal in his hand, really reluctant. "But such good food...?"

The person who drove the car, seeing that the old man was still obsessed with the cornmeal that was spilled, said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, why don't you do this!" You can take away all this cornmeal that you have spilled! ”

When Chen Sanchuan said this, he didn't want to waste the grain. Because these cornmeal are taken back, and there is no use in the house.

When the old man first heard that all the cornmeal was given to him, he was stunned for a moment, then took off his gown, and in three or five strokes, he put all the cornmeal scattered on the board into the gown.

After collecting the cornmeal, the old man smiled and thanked Chen Sanchuan: "Thank you, these cornmeals have two or three catties, and the cooking paste is enough for my grandchildren to eat a few meals." The little grandson is young, he is not used to eating mixed noodles and is hungry every day, and he is also distressed when he looks at it.

"Hehe, no thanks." After Chen Sanchuan finished speaking, he suddenly said to the crowd watching the excitement: "Whoever makes a good meal, recommend two, that is, to make a lunch for the people who build the road, and the condition is to take care of a full meal, and the reward is half a catty of cornmeal." ”

Before others could answer, the old man who collected the cornmeal opened his mouth first.

"Big nephew, do you think I'm successful? Don't look at my old Li Tou, who was also the second chef of the restaurant back then. In order to make Chen Sanchuan take a fancy to him, the old man deliberately straightened his waist.

Chen Sanchuan saw that the old man's body was quite tough, so he agreed.

Standing in the crowd, the two sons and two eldest grandsons of Old Man Li, who had not spoken, saw that Old Man Li had signed up at this time, and they also squeezed in front of Tong Lei.

"Official, let's sign up for the four of us." As soon as Tong Lei saw this posture, he knew that they were a family, so he smiled and wrote down their names, and then asked them to wait for a while.

Boss Li saw that Tong Lei had written down their names for them, so he came to Old Man Li and muttered: "Dad, how old are you, and you are still joining in this fun." ”

"Yes! Dad, if you bump into it, where do you let our old faces go? Li Lao Er also said a few words about his brother's words.

Old man Li didn't take care of his two sons, but stuffed the gown with cornmeal in his hand into the eldest grandson's hand. "Big boy, you run fast, send this home to your mother, so that they can have a cornmeal at noon."

"Hey~" The eldest child carefully took his grandfather's gown, held it in his arms and ran home. "Hmm~" He also smelled the smell of cornmeal.

It smelled so good, he had never smelled it before.

Thinking that in the next few days, he will be able to eat golden tortillas, and the size of the child will run faster.

And these people who stayed at the yamen to watch, seeing that the Li family had signed up for five people, they were all ready to move.

But before these big men could speak, a woman outside the crowd spoke. "This big brother, it's a head for the two of us, my man is a good worker, and I can cook well."

Chen Sanchuan saw that the woman was tall, with big eyes and a high nose, and she was spicy and capable at first glance, so he asked casually: "Who is your man?" ”

"Brother Chen, it's my old Zhang." Before the words could be spoken, a tall and stout man separated from the crowd and walked over.

Chen Sanchuan was happy when he saw that he was an acquaintance, "Brother Zhang is here to work, let's rest assured." "It turns out that this Zhang Shuangxi helped the Xie family repair the yard a few days ago.

As soon as Zhang Shuangxi signed up, those who had helped the county magistrate repair the yard also signed up.

At this moment, there are already more than 30 people who have signed up, and those who are waiting and waiting are also hurrying to sign up. You can't wait any longer, after all, there are only fifty places.

Seeing that the people who signed up were almost there, Chen Sanchuan beckoned Old Man Li and Sister-in-law Zhang to get into the carriage.

"Uncle Li, sister-in-law Zhang, let's go over first, and we have to build a temporary stove."

"Eh~" Old man Li didn't expect that there was such a good thing, and he could take a ride without his old bones, which was really good.

And Sister-in-law Zhang got into the carriage and began to sum it up in her heart. "Brother Chen, the meals for these fifty people, just me and Uncle Li, I'm afraid it's a little too busy."

Sister-in-law Zhang has her thoughts, even if Uncle Li is old, he is still a foreign man, and it is not good to listen to him as a woman cooking with him.

Chen Sanchuan always walks outside all year round, and when Sister-in-law Zhang said these words, he understood.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, I think it's not easy for the two of you to cook for so many people. It's better for Sister-in-law Zhang to find someone to come over, so that you can save some light and not be blind at that time. ”

"Hey, Brother Chen, you stop the carriage and wait for me for a while, I'll call my brother and sister, she works as neatly as I do."

"Good. Let's wait for you here, sister-in-law Zhang, go and come back quickly. ”
