Chapter 3 Going out to ask for food
Dead.
Chen Yuanyuan was lying on the bed, with her grandmother and sister lying beside her.
She has mixed tastes in her heart, half a month ago, on the fifteenth day of July.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, the Chen family was surprised and delighted, and begged the sleeping doctor in the middle of the night to treat her.
After the doctor left, she vaguely heard the doctor say - it is best to prescribe ginseng tablets for a few days, excessive blood loss is easy to fall into the problem of body weakness, and the most taboo of this woman's birth and maintenance is body weakness.
For the strapped Chen family, they could not have been ignored, and they were just a girl.
I don't want to go for a few days, I really should add ginseng tablets!
According to the poor conditions of the Chen family, she is willing to buy ginseng slices for her, where can she be a rice borer with peace of mind?
Even her younger sister knows how to earn money at such a young age, and as the elder sister of the Chen family, she should also think of ways to improve the conditions of her family.
Thinking about it like this, she has fallen asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn......
She bounced up, swept the people on her side to the empty building, scolded secretly, and hurriedly put on her shoes and socks. I can't stop slandering in my heart: Are the Chen family all chickens, why do they get up so early every day!!?
After a casual freshening up and holding a green silk to her ear, she hurried out of the room.
Chen's mother had already served the bread, and when she saw her come out, she let her eat breakfast.
The breakfast was a little monotonous, with a black coarse pancake and a cold white open, which made her very greasy and even more stimulated her desire to make money.
After breakfast, Chen's mother handed over 50 yuan to her.
"Yesterday the dishes were broken by you, today you go to buy some dishes and come back, buy a piece of tofu and cook it at night, and come back with a tube of soy sauce by the way."
The corners of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth twitched, took the copper plate, and put it all in her pocket.
Unexpectedly, she is the daughter of the group and has a day of soy sauce!
Chen's mother did not forget to advise: "The work at home will be handed over to you, but don't be as careless as yesterday." ”
After hearing this, Chen's father widened his eyes and ordered: "Your mother is right, keep an eye on everything, if we burn down the house again, we will sleep on the street!" ”
"Daddy, don't worry, you won't repeat the mistakes of the past today!" After speaking, the girl waved her little hand, raised a smile and patted her chest to pack the ticket.
As the saying goes, once born, twice ripe!
Mother Chen shook her head helplessly, and said respectfully to the Tong family in front of the table: "Mother, the second girl will please leave it to you." She is still young, and when she goes out to work, her mother is by her side to take care of her, and her daughter-in-law is also a lot more relieved. ”
"You can go to work with Zhengping with peace of mind, and I will watch the old woman at home."
The instructions were properly ordered, and the couple went out with peace of mind.
Soon after the two left, Tong and Chen Qingqing also set off for the embroidery workshop.
Before leaving, Tong told Chen Yuanyuan to keep an eye on her younger brother, and if there was something to do, she would go to the embroidery workshop or Fulai Building to find someone.
Chen Yuanyuan agreed one by one, remembering that she wanted to buy dishes, and she was not familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, so it was a lot more convenient to have Chen Yunsheng by her side.
The sister and brother cleaned up and prepared to go out to make soy sauce.
One big and one small went out of the alleys and alleys, and walked on Chengnan Street.
I saw that Chen Yunsheng's little head was nervous and looking around.
"Why don't you just come out, how can you act like a thief?" As she spoke, Chen Yuanyuan was already straightening her waist and striding forward.
"I'm not afraid of meeting Master Liu."
"Doesn't Master Liu live in the north of the city? Let's just go and do it. ”
"But Fulai Building is in the north of the city, and my sister wants to make money, why don't you go to Fulai Building?"
Chen Yuanyuan's eyebrows raised slightly, what the hell is Fulai Building?
I only heard Chen Yunsheng continue: "Fulai Lou is one of the best restaurants in the imperial capital, my father and mother are all buddies in Fulai Lou, and my sister was also helping in the back kitchen in the past, and my second sister and I were not old, so the shopkeeper Song confiscated it." ”
"What do you mean...... Let me do chores? ”
"Or else?"
"Tsk, am I like a handyman?"
"So how do we make money?"
Chen Yuanyuan coughed embarrassedly, she opened her mouth in modern clothes and food - she can't eat, she has no work experience, and she is a scumbag when she learns.
Seem...... All you can do is eat, drink and be merry?
frowned, and suddenly Chen Yuanyuan thought carefully, and already grinned at Chen Yunsheng with a bright smile: "Boy, where is the nearest gambling house here?" ”
“……”
Looking at the eldest sister with an excited face, Chen Yunsheng swallowed his saliva, and for some reason always felt that the eldest sister in front of him was a little scary......
***
In a few moments, one big and one small were already standing in front of the Ye family's gambling house.
"Eldest sister, do you really want to go in?"
"Nonsense!"
She asked herself that she was an invincible player in the bar when she shook the dice, as long as she was given a chance, she would definitely be able to make a lot of money - no matter, let's fight first!
After thinking about it, she had already dragged Chen Yunsheng into the gambling house.
Chen Yunsheng swallowed his saliva, a little afraid to follow behind his eldest sister, and the palms and backs of his hands were covered with cold sweat.
As soon as I entered the inside, a pungent and unpleasant smell came to my nose.
The gambling house is full of people, bustling and huddled, and the two sisters and brothers are young and thin and look out of place.
Chen Yuanyuan was about to show off her strength, and two strong guards walked over.
"You two hairy little devils, you don't want to steal something!"
Seeing that two big men were about to come over to arrest someone, Chen Yuanyuan grabbed Chen Yunsheng's arm and stepped back.
She shouted: "Presumptuous! You guys don't let people in to gamble if you open a gambling house! ”
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's angry face, one of the strong men suddenly became interested and looked at her playfully.
"Yellow-haired little girl, do you want to tell me how much capital you brought?"
Chen Yuanyuan is also from a wealthy family in modern times, and she is naturally not afraid in the face of two big men, and sneered: "This is the rule of your gambling house?" Do you want to check the cost of the guest? ”
"If you don't show it, get out!"
"Call your stewards!"
Hearing this, the two strong men glanced at each other and laughed.
"Two hairy little ghosts, do you really think of yourself as an uncle?"
After that, the two of them were already throwing one out of the gambling house with one of them, without taking the two little dolls into their eyes at all.
Chen Yuanyuan struggled: "Bastard thing, let go of the old lady!" ”
"Stinky girl, it's amazing!"
After a few entanglements, the white cloth on the girl's forehead was faintly oozing blood, and the sister and brother were finally thrown out of the gambling house, and they sat on the ground with unkempt hair and gray faces, looking pitiful.
Suddenly, a "clang" sound sounded.
I saw a small ingot of broken silver fall at her feet.
Chen Yuanyuan rubbed her buttocks, her heart trembled, her eyes widened, she grabbed the woman who was about to leave with one hand, and looked up at the woman in incredible shock.
"I ...... Do I look like I'm asking for food? ”
Hearing this, the almsgiving woman was slightly stunned.
I saw my little hand holding it, and I couldn't help shaking, could it be that I was too excited?
The woman became more and more distressed, squatted down and patted the back of Chen Yuanyuan's hand gently, with a look that I understand, and said kindly: "Poor one, if you are injured, you have to take your brother to beg, and this silver will be used to buy some delicious food." When you and I meet, it's fate, and you don't need to say thank you. ”
After that, he didn't wait for Chen Yuanyuan to reply, and left with a satisfied smile, leaving Chen Yuanyuan who was messy in the autumn breeze.
