Chapter 1: Weddings
The Great Zhou State was founded for nearly 100 years, and under the benevolent government of three generations of emperors, the country was rich and the people were strong, and it was a prosperous era.
But no matter in any era, there are rich and poor, Rao is the emperor of the Great Zhou State every year to let officials open warehouses to release grain, there are also beggars begging on the street, and there are also people who are hungry.
In three months, it is the 60th birthday of the eldest rich man in Xilin County, and many officials and rich gentry have been invited to participate in the birthday banquet, and chefs are recruited to prepare a sumptuous banquet, but all the chefs who can enter the finals can get 50 taels of silver, and those who can enter the first three levels will also get certain rewards.
And the three chefs who can win in the end, even if they don't stay in the mansion to do things, will get an honorarium of 500 taels for these three months, and they can create their own dishes and get the favor of the rich man, and there are additional rewards, and the chefs who come to sign up are in a long queue.
"Mother, every time you cook rice, you are half-cooked, can you really break through to the third level?" In the crowd, a little boy with a yellow face and thin muscles, wearing patched clothes, looked up at his mother.
The woman rubbed the boy's yellowed hair, and said confidently: "I believe in my mother, my mother will definitely win, and I will buy big buns for Yuanbao to eat when the time comes." ”
I silently complained in my heart that the original owner couldn't even cook a meal, how to make a little bun's mother! She will be despised.
"Well, I believe in my mother." The little boy nodded vigorously, but his eyes clearly did not believe the woman's words.
The people queuing around couldn't help but roll their eyes when they listened to the conversation between the mother and son, and the little guy in charge of registration not far away naturally heard it, so he came over to drive it away.
"This is not the place to ask for food, hurry up and stay aside, don't be an eyesore here." The little guy said with his nostrils facing the sky.
"This little brother, I'm here to apply for a chef, not to ask for food." The woman suppressed her anger and raised a polite and detached smile, not feeling inferior to the white clothes she had washed.
The little guy glanced at the woman, took a sip and said: "Look at your tattered clothes, you haven't seen the world at first glance, we are here in a foreign house, not those pig food eaten by mud legs in the countryside, just like you don't know what to use when you enter the kitchen, don't you come to make trouble!" Look at you two pitiful, I'll be generous today, take these coppers to buy two steamed buns, and quickly give way to me, otherwise I can call someone to beat you away! ”
The little guy was holding three copper plates in his hand, and his eyes were sly looking at the woman.
Although the other party looks like he was born in a poor family, his facial features are delicate and tight, but it's a pity that he didn't find the right person when he was reincarnated, and he was wasted in vain.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many people nearby, the little guy would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to coax people, and now he can only look twice.
The woman's delicate brows frowned slightly, and she was familiar with the little girl's lewd eyes, and she couldn't help but clench the hand holding the little bun in her heart, and she had the intention of beating the other party at any time.
But thinking that because of her violent temper, her son was floating with her, and even the wooden house at the foot of the mountain couldn't accommodate their mother and son, and she desperately suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Mother, let's go." The little boy didn't cry out in pain, gently shook the woman's arm, and whispered: "My mother said that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, there are many of them, and we can't beat them." ”
The woman's smart eyes turned, and she secretly gave a thumbs up to Xiao Baozi, glared at Xiao Bao fiercely, and left before being eaten tofu.
It is important to make money, but the other party does not give himself a chance, and it also depends on whether the opportunity allows him to fight, once he is taken advantage of by the small servant, even if he is a victim, it will damage his reputation in this era of male superiority and inferiority.
Behind him, there was the sound of the little guy and those in line laughing, but the woman's back was even more upright, sooner or later these ignorant people would know what it meant to have someone outside the person, she was a crosser, and she would find a place to hang her neck because of a few sarcastic words?
Song Yao scolded the crossing god in her heart, let her cross over, anyway, she was out of her body to save a stray cat, and it can be regarded as doing a good deed, why didn't she even give her a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and she had to bring a three-and-a-half-year-old radish head, and she didn't have a big boy on her body?
Growing up in an orphanage in her previous life, Song Yao is very accustomed to human affection, and she is not a master who can't endure hardships, the key is that she doesn't want to sell herself as a slave, so that the only blood relative in the two lives can't hold her head up for the rest of her life because of her, otherwise she won't be able to travel for almost a month, and most of the time she is hungry.
The unfairness of this world to women made Song Yao have a strong sense of frustration, without an acquaintance to introduce her, it was difficult to find a short-term job, but she had no money to buy a doorway.
"Mother, Yuanbao's belly is singing." I don't know how long I was dragged away by my mother, the little bun touched her belly, and said pitifully.
"Yuanbao is good, bear with it a little longer, my mother will find a job soon." Song Yao looked at the little bun apologetically, leaned over and hugged the little guy, only to find that his body was covered in sweat, "Yuanbao, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? Mother will take you to see the doctor! ”
"It's okay mother, Yuanbao is hungry, just drink some water, don't go to see the doctor, my mother has no silver." Song Yuanbao sensibly refused, holding Song Yao with his little hands, but his eyes were a little open.
"Don't be afraid of ingots, my mother has silver, my mother has silver!" Song Yao's eyes turned red anxiously, and one hand touched his neck, this is something that the original owner would rather die of illness than sell, and it should be related to the original owner's life experience.
Perhaps the original owner felt that this piece of jade was more important than his life, but for Song Yao, there was nothing more precious than Song Yuanbao's life.
Picking up Song Yuanbao, Song Yao stumbled forward, having not eaten for a few days and being hungry for a day, she had no strength.
"Mother, be careful!" Song Yuanbao shouted with wide eyes.
But Song Yao had tears in her eyes, she didn't notice that there was someone in front of her at all, and it was too late to stop, so she pretended to be full of arms with the other party directly.
"Presumptuous!" A mellow male voice rang out.
Song Yao didn't have to apologize first, and hurriedly checked whether the son in her arms was injured.
"I'm fine, mother." Song Yuanbao shook his head, pointed to the man in Chinese clothes who was hit and said, "Mother, you are in trouble, and you hit a fat sheep." ”
After speaking, Song Yuanbao's little head tilted, and he fainted in Song Yao's arms.
"Yuanbao, don't scare your mother, Yuanbao!" Song Yao's voice trembled, shaking the little bun vigorously, but she didn't get a response, "Mother will take you to see the doctor, let's go see the doctor." ”
"Give me the child." The man said coldly.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to rob young children in broad daylight? Song Yao hugged her son tightly, looked at the man with a defensive face and said: "Don't think that you can fool the public if you are handsome, although I, Song Yao, am poor and white, my son is my life!" It was mine who hit you, I apologize to you, but I will never give my son to you! ”
