Volume 1 A Changing Drum: Flowers Bloom on Mo, Two Lovesickness Chapter 16 Life has

After wandering in Jinling for a month, Xiao Tao really got worried. It's almost over. No matter how good the scenery is, it can't withstand the passing of days. After seeing everything, Xiao Tao found that Jinling was really not as good as Yunwan Village.

Yunwan Village has no money to eat, and there are always vegetables, vegetables and fruits in the fields that can be picked to relieve hunger. Yunwan Village can farm, support rafts, chop firewood, and live. But Jinling, looking prosperous, can't live out. There are no melons and fruits to pick on the road, so you can only buy them with silver when you are hungry. Things are still so expensive, at first Xiao Tao didn't pay attention to it, and bought a few rare silk flower skewers. But the silver is too unspent in Jinling. If that bag of broken silver was in Yunwan Village, the whole family would be enough for a year. But in Jinling, eat a few meals, buy a few things, and it's gone in the blink of an eye.

It's not easy to find a job in Jinling. Little Peach will only hold up the raft and nothing else. I wanted to find a job to wash clothes and carry water, but I couldn't find it for a long time. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll have to live the previous life with my mother-begging.

But Xiao Tao didn't want to beg for food, she was thin-skinned, and she had to escape and rush before. Now that she has arrived in Jinling, in Jinling, where Gongzi Qi is located, how can she beg for food?!

Qi Gongzi --- dangling in Jinling for more than a month, she was paying close attention all the time, but she didn't see Qi Gongzi's figure. Alas, we can only blame Jinling City for being too big. If there is a wild cat in Yunwan Village, there is a wild cat in the east of the village, and everyone in the west of the village knows who went to catch mice.

Just when the silver was spent for only a few pennies, Xiao Tao finally found a job selling wine in the family wine shop. Because she often helped a neighborhood aunt wash clothes, the aunt simply gave her a few wages and hired her to help. The livelihood of the two people has finally been settled.

The little peach man is fast-talking, likes to talk, and people are happy. It didn't take long for many repeat customers. The owners of the brewery are a middle-aged couple who are also kind. Knowing that Xiao Tao and his mother had no place to live, they often spent the night in the ancestral hall on Guangshun Street, so he cleaned up the utility room next to the firewood house in the west wing and let Xiao Tao and his mother live in. Although the wages are a little less, they finally have a place to sleep in the third month of Jinling, and they are already very satisfied. As long as you have hands, life will always get better little by little from the predicament.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tao has been working in the winery for two months. In the early summer of May, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived. Early in the morning, the mother went to wash the clothes, pushed Xiao Tao up, and stuffed her with a purse: "Don't forget to bring this today, to exorcise evil spirits." After saying that, he hurried away.

Xiao Tao opened the purse, and it was some mussel powder, a few copper coins, and a talisman. When she was in Yunwan Village, her mother also made her a purse for the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiao Tao happily tied her purse around her waist and hurried to the winery in the front yard. The boss had instructed before that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there would be a lot of wine orders.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, many people came. The custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to drink realgar wine. Xiao Tao was busy all morning, and her hands and feet were cramping. In the morning, a young man in a short shirt and pants came over, looking at Wenwen weak, who seemed to be one or two years younger than Xiao Tao, and hurriedly asked for two jars of "elixir" wine. It should also be sent to the Qinhuai River immediately.

Xiao Tao was a little embarrassed, the uncle who was in charge of delivering the wine had been busy with his feet on the ground today, and he hadn't come back yet: "You have to wait for half an hour, the wine delivery hasn't come back yet." ”

"Help, the nearby wine shops are all over, either there is no wine or there is no way to deliver it. My son-in-law and guests are waiting at the Painted Beam Pavilion. The man took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it on the counter in front of the boss, thought about it and added another ingot: "Do me a favor, only two jars." ”

The boss's eyes were straight, he didn't want to get along with so much silver. Hurriedly loaded the wine onto the delivery cart and tied it, and instructed Xiao Tao: "I'm watching the store, you go and help this guest officer deliver the wine." ”

The two altars are not too heavy, Xiao Tao pushed the cart, and the man helped on the side, and walked towards the Qinhuai River. Xiao Tao talked a lot, and began to ask again: "Why don't you buy it in advance?" Today, I want wine everywhere, where is the time? ”

The man was actually a child, and he began to be shy, and after Xiao Tao kept chattering, he also opened the conversation: "My son-in-law has always been unconventional, just to have fun." Today, I had friends together, and the two jars I prepared were drunk in a while, and I didn't expect to be able to drink so much. I had to buy it again. If I go home and get it now, it's too late, and it will ruin my son-in-law's wine. ”

"Oh." Xiao Tao nodded, it turned out that there was also the word "wine", the two chatted a few words, and soon arrived at the Qinhuai River. The Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race is about to begin, and the riverside is crowded with people. Xiao Tao and the man walked around the crowd and walked a few hundred steps, gradually moving away from the crowd. There is a courtyard, built near the river, and there are a few people guarding outside.

The man led Xiao Tao into the backyard and said, "Just unload it here." ”

Xiao Tao took the wine down, and suddenly heard footsteps next to her, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "The wine was bought?" ”
