Chapter 109: A Turning Point in Life

Sun Erlang is a redundant farmer who was named to leave the Shanghai Forestry Department this time, and the reason for being named is not because he is old, nor because he is not unfavorable in his work, but because he is an expert in farming.

In the Shanghai Forestry Department, he knows that there is no one in this field who is more efficient than him, hard-working, and the field he planted is also the first harvest every year.

But he offended the officials who managed the fields.

He's not a thorn either.

It was her daughter who was abducted by the official and became a concubine who he didn't know how many rooms he had.

If her daughter can go to Xu Yan's house to eat and drink well, Sun Erlang can also endure it, and there is not much food at home, so she can save a mouthful of food.

Within two days, her daughter ran home crying.

It turned out that the food of the Xu official's family was not enough, and when he arrived at his house, he was equivalent to his slave, and he had to accompany him to bed.

Sun Erlang ran to the door in a big rage and beat the officials severely.

This matter let others know, and they blamed Xu Officials, Xu Officials did not dare to blatantly do anything to Sun Erlang, but they always made trouble for Sun Erlang in other places, either openly or secretly.

Sun Erlang also began to discooperate with the officials everywhere.

This time, Sun Erlang was included in the list, along with his thirteen-year-old daughter.

If such an ugly thing happens, it is not easy for my daughter to find a family to marry in the Forestry Department.

Looking at this long procession, half of the people were little girls under the age of seven, and a third of the people were old people over fifty years old.

As for people in their sixties and seventies, they are still very rare in this era, and as a tenant farmer, even fewer live to this age.

The rest were women, that is, widows, and some young boys, and there were less than ten strong men like him, whose wives had died in childbirth, or else his daughter-in-law.

Sun Erlang shook his head, the officials did not allow them to take away the things at home, even the farm tools they were used to, even the farm tools they made themselves, they were not allowed to take away, and they were asked to gather in the open space empty-handed.

Out of the Forestry Department, they can be said to be free people, but they have been farming all their lives, there is no field to plant, they don't know what kind of life they can live, and there seems to be no way except to follow the woman in front of them.

The woman in front of her may be in charge of running errands at home, and her clothes are not particularly gorgeous, just neat and clean.

The woman didn't say anything special about them not carrying anything, just frowned.

There is a man next to the woman, and the man's clothes are particularly gorgeous and high-end, but when they arrive in Chang'an City, the woman and the man are separated.

"It's late, there is no place for you to sleep, so today I will take you to live in the city, we have chartered an inn, tomorrow morning, we have to get up early to build a house to sleep in, for the time being we will have a hard time, but we are all fighting for food for ourselves with our own hands.

Because I am not rich, but the royal reward is a wasteland, and I am asked to grow high-yield crops, so I don't eat in the inn for dinner, but go to my house in Chang'an to get porridge to eat, and tomorrow morning we will go out of Chang'an City again and start our work.

Rest assured, the food is enough. ”

The people who were driven out did not react in particular, until they entered a house in Chang'an, and several women were sent to receive food, and then began to cook, that they really knew that the women really gave them food, not only food, but also soup and cakes, and the portion was full.

"There is a pig meat seller in the market, he opened the shop relatively late, now go and buy it, you can bargain, go and see if there are any leftover pieces of pig meat, add it to the porridge and eat."

The woman took a few bags of grain and told the two women to go out to exchange meat.

"Master, aren't you afraid that the two of them will run away?"

A girl in the Chang'an house asked.

"If they run away, then go to the government to report their disappearance, hoping that they can live a good life in Chang'an City.

I'm not going to take everyone to live a hard life, but to really lead everyone to live a good life, she doesn't want to live a good life with her, can I still force them?

When the time comes, it would be nice to send two more people out to buy meat. ”

Everyone heard Fan Jingjing's words.

There are often people at home who come to eat, so Fan Jingjing's pot is very big.

"Don't stand here and watch, go and help fry my family's special pancakes. Although I can't be full, let everyone remember the taste of my home. ”

"Eggs are expensive!"

Fan Jingjing's chickens haven't grown up yet, so the eggs are all bought on the street.

"Didn't you tell you to fry one by one, and cut one into ten, so that you don't just make ten pancakes, but also ten eggs?"

"We eat the same as them?"

"Let's eat together."

"Oh, I see."

Fan Qi went out with the copper plate and food.

Where copper plates can be used in the market, they use copper plates, and where copper plates cannot be used, they will exchange them with grain, which can be said to be the best exchange in various places.

The merchants' preference for grain and copper coins varies.

Just now, the two women went to buy meat, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them didn't know if they could trust it, Fan Jingjing would also hand over the copper plate to them, but they didn't know the personalities of the two women, so Fan Jingjing still handed over the food to them.

In Fan Jingjing's heart, the value of money is always higher than the value of food, although she knows that the price of food will rise soon, she still feels that these two women have food in their hands, at least they can help them live for a longer period of time, which can be regarded as the fate of acquaintance.

Fortunately, the two women didn't run around either, and came back happily after buying meat.

The two of them are not stupid, and they know that since the housekeeper is willing to let them eat meat, it means that the future life will actually be better than before.

When the people had expectations, of course, they wanted to behave better, and they bargained harder at the meat stall, and the meat stall was almost closed, and there was no whole meat left, so they gave some minced meat, even the water, to the woman, and the woman came back happy.

"We bought meat and came back, because meat was cheaper, so we bought more. People are also able to eat more meat. ”

Fortunately, Fan Qi is not by her side now, otherwise she will definitely complain about her, as long as she buys the quantity that the master wants to buy, it is also the slave's obligation to help the master save money.

Fan Qi didn't know that these people were not slaves, they all belonged to free people, but these people would be tenant farmers of the Fan family in the future.

After the broth is cooked, the porridge with salt, spices, and meat looks fragrant and delicious.

The bellies of the crowd rang like drums.

"Do you really want to feed us?" Sun Erlang asked in disbelief.

As a small number of strong men, Fan Jingjing naturally took a special fancy to it, and replied: "Eat a little more, and eat all the porridge in the pot." ”
