Chapter 4 Analyze the pros and cons and find a job to earn a living
During the meal, I met Xiaoman's father, an honest man who seemed to be quite honest. Seeing me, a passer-by who was picked up by his son, he didn't say much, but he heard that I was going to the county seat, and he specially asked Xiaoman to accompany me later, saying that it was too unsafe for a woman to go out alone, and women in this era really rarely go out.
By the way, I asked the dynasty, who was the emperor in power?
As a result, he said that the current country name is Daqi, and the emperor's name is unknown, only that the emperor's surname is Yuwen.
Yuwen, Daqi? As far as my limited knowledge knows, it seems that only the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was surnamed Yuwen, but in the Great Qi, the opposition to the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time was the Northern Qi Gao clan, which was known for its beauty.
But now the country name of the Yuwen family is Daqi, or I really traveled to an unknown dynasty, referred to as overhead; Either Xiaoman's father is really too lonely and widowed, and he got the country names of Daqi and Dazhou wrong, then I have to recall history well, don't stand on the wrong team as cannon fodder.
The Northern Qi was destroyed by the Northern Zhou, and then the Northern Zhou went to fight the Huns, but the emperor seemed to die of illness on the road, and then Yang Jian drove his grandson off the throne, seized the power of the Northern Zhou, and came to power himself, as if he also killed the close relatives of the Yuwen family, and then destroyed the Southern Chen, and the whole country was finally unified, and then the emperor died, Yang Guang was reversed, Li Yuan won the world, and then passed the throne to Li Shimin.
I don't know how many years it is, in fact, this history is not long, if I want to ensure that I will not be cannon fodder in the end, then now I just hurry up to find Li Shimin and hug my thighs.
After making up my mind, I asked Xiaoman's father again: "Are you sure that the royal family's surname is Yuwen now, and the country name is Daqi?" Is it possible that Gao's, Northern Zhou? ”
Xiaoman's father suddenly sank his face, and expressed his anger at my deep suspicion: "You girl is so unconscious, how can you remember the name of the country and the emperor's surname wrongly, it is going to kill the head!" ”
To be so sure, I hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, is it really an overhead?
Well, that little bit of historical knowledge isn't even enough for me to be a god.
Seriously, the ancient farmers ate very rough food, no salt, no oil, no meat, and there are very few types, and the rice is still mixed with rice skin, the legendary brown rice, although in modern times there are many people who worship it as a good thing for health, but I really can't stand it, I can only take the corn and gnaw it.
But looking at Xiaoman's appearance, eating rice should be of high standard, it seems that the ancient times are not easy, I have to find a job quickly!
After eating, Xiaoman and his father and I went into the city together, and they took the chopped firewood to sell by the way, I originally wanted to help Xiaoman, but then I found that the body I possessed was really a beautiful girl, and I couldn't make much effort. I think I was a kind of person who carried rice in my left hand and a week's food in my right hand, forget it, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year, I should be thankful that this girl didn't tie her feet. Physical fitness, it's good to exercise. On the whole, human beings are still progressing, at least modern girls are becoming more and more manly.
Xiao Man walked in front, I walked in the middle, and Xiao Man's father walked behind.
Occasionally say a few words, Xiaoman seems to like to talk very much, and when he talks about the last time he sells firewood, he said that when he came back, he found that he had been cheated, and he had undercounted ten cents. Xiao Man seemed to be quite angry when he talked about this: "The comprador of the restaurant bullied us because Daddy didn't know how to count, or Li Xiucai in the village told us later, I can't earn ten cents a day." ”
According to the price at that time, one penny could buy two buns, which is about one dollar almost in modern times, and they only sold three pennies for a bundle of firewood, and generally speaking, they could get a dozen or so bundles every time they went to the market, which was only more than thirty or forty yuan. has to detain others, this ancient person is not very honest.
I went to the market with them, in fact, there are more houses, and there are people calling for shopping, a bit like the kind of market in the countryside, this is the county seat, well, human beings have indeed been progressing. I think of the county seat of our hometown, and the decoration is quite luxurious.
I told Xiaoman that I would count, and then accompanied them to the largest restaurant in the city, and sold firewood to the comprador, who looked like a thief, and when he saw me coming, he looked me up and down with dishonest eyes, it should be a dishonest person.
Then I saw that they counted the bundles of firewood, and when they counted too much, Xiaoman's father was confused, and the comprador began to talk nonsense, and while Xiaoman's father was still picking his fingers, he directly gave the number, with a proud face. Sometimes it's a penny less, sometimes it's two pennies less, and it's really bullying people to read less.
Xiaoman's father looked at me with a worried face, and I nodded, indicating that it was clear and that he should not worry.
When the comprador was about to pay for it, I spoke up: "Comprador, you have miscalculated, it is obviously sixteen bundles of firewood, it should be forty-eight yuan, how can it become forty, besides, how can three add up to forty." ”
The comprador raised the rat eyes, looked at me, and still looked at me arrogantly: "What do you know as a woman, can I learn arithmetic as accurately as you." ”
You little antique, just the few days you went to school are as good as the seventeen years of education I received. The man is amazing, talking about academic qualifications, you don't have any scum left in seconds. Look down on women, right, okay, let me, a woman, clean you up, and see if you can get a job by the way.
I told Xiaoman's father to watch the firewood here, and then asked Xiaoman to follow me and come to the front hall of the restaurant, well, it's really the same as in the TV series.
Xiaoman followed me timidly, I took his hand and came to the counter: "It's the shopkeeper, right?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at me, although my clothes were dirty, but the fabric was there, he didn't despise it, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is going to eat, please sit over there." ”
"No, the shopkeeper must be a good count."
Although the shopkeeper didn't understand, he still nodded.
"Okay, I just want to ask, how much should I pay for a bundle of firewood for three cents, a total of sixteen bundles?"
Although ......the shopkeeper was very puzzled, he still dialed it on the abacus: "Forty-eight dollars." ”
"Exactly, I took the shopkeeper's exam just now, and now I ask the shopkeeper to give me a question and test me."
The shopkeeper looked at me in embarrassment: "This, isn't the girl here to entertain me?" ”
"Amusement you? I just want the shopkeeper to give me a question to prove that I'm good at arithmetic. ”
It just so happened that a junior two came over and said that the person in the private room on the second floor would settle the bill and let the shopkeeper count it. I thought this was a good opportunity, so I said to the shopkeeper: "Otherwise, I will also calculate together, to see if the shopkeeper is faster, or I am faster, I don't need to calculate." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at me, probably thinking it was interesting, and some people didn't need an abacus to do the math, and put the bill in the middle, and I quickly gave the answer: "It's three hundred and seventy-two dollars in total." ”
Then the shopkeeper looked at me with hell, and the abacus in his hand was wrong.
"The shopkeeper is counting slowly, to see if I'm talking nonsense?"
The shopkeeper redialed the abacus, and after about a minute or so, he gave the exact same answer as me. Then the way he looked at me changed, with a little respect, everywhere he went, he had the ability to be respected.
