Chapter 30: A Triumph at the Breakfast Table

The capital in the morning light does not seem to have the hustle and bustle of the past, the cold seems to imprison people, and if there is no need to go out, people prefer to stay on the hot kang.

Even those children who don't go to school because of the winter vacation are still lying under the covers and refusing to get up.

At this time, the old lady who finished her work in the yard would put her cold hand into the bed.

Then you can hear the child "squeaking" in the bed.

Daming is engaged in a great war, but the people of Daming Capital can't feel the breath of the war at all.

On weekdays, there are very few garrisons in the capital, and now there are few soldiers on the streets, and they will not attract attention.

But you can't go to Tongzhou New Town, that place has become a sea of soldiers.

Most of the yamen of the various ministries moved there to work, and many places can be described as heavily guarded.

It is only when you get there that you can feel that the Ming Dynasty is still in a state of war.

It is a little strange that there are soldiers in the alley on the edge of Shijingshan.

Four GIs, dressed in military uniforms and carrying guns at their waists, followed behind the two old men.

"Stay away from me, you will scare the people like this." Sun Chengzong turned his head and glared at the captain officer who was the leader.

"Sun Xiang, you came out in too much of a hurry, and the brothers didn't have time to change their clothes.

Slow down, be considerate of us.

The brothers in the back have changed their clothes and will soon be able to catch up. The commander of the guard company was about to cry.

On weekdays, the old man doesn't go out much. I don't know what's going on today, I have to go to the street to drink tofu brain.

Oh my God!

Not to mention that someone poisoned them, even if they ate and had diarrhea, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

"Humph! Just drink tofu brain, can you use such a teacher to mobilize the crowd?

Someone poisons you, and the possibility of poisoning you is greater than poisoning the old man. ”

Sun Chengzong's mouth was broken, and the soles of his feet walked faster and faster.

Sun Quan was behind, and he felt a little unable to keep up.

"Daddy! You see that I am also in my sixties, so you should be considerate of your son.

Walk slowly! Done? ”

"Humph! If you can't write it, you can't do it.

In the early years, the body was not neater, but the concubine married three or four rooms, and the body bones were not empty? ”

Sun Chengzong said on his lips, but his pace slowed down.

"Didn't the house make you tofu brains too? It's a cold day, you see that there are not many people on the street, why don't you want to go to the street to eat. ”

Sun Quan saw that his father was walking slowly, and followed with a muttering mouth.

People in their sixties sleep for two hours at night. I finally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, but I didn't expect my dad to go out early in the morning.

I had no choice but to get up with the support of my concubine and follow my father to the street to drink tofu brain.

I didn't drink the tofu brain, but my stomach was already stuffed with complaints.

As soon as he finished muttering, he turned from the small alley to the street.

The streets were full of people who got up early to get ready for work, and many people crowded in front of the food stalls. Drinking the old bean juice in the capital, eating browned burnt rings and oil cakes.

The one-foot-long big fruit is taken out of the pot and gnawed, not to mention how fragrant it is.

The guy in the white hat shouted and drank the mutton soup for fire, and many people patronized it.

In the winter, drinking mutton soup warms the whole body, and I have energy all morning.

"Who said that there is no one, you see, there are people coming and going on this street, why is there no one?

To say that in this capital, it is more than ten times more prosperous than during the Apocalypse. ”

Sun Chengzong walked down the street, listening to the swaying bells of rickshaws and the snoring of food at the food stalls on both sides.

There are also the opening boards of the various shops and the greetings of the guys.

Many voices were intertwined, and Sun Chengzong listened to it very comfortably and quietly.

This is the life that ordinary people should live, which is like the apocalypse.

When the officers walk down the streets, they will jump around.

A group of people ran behind him, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, but at a glance they knew that they were soldiers.

There's no way, all of them have shaved heads. Not a soldier, who shaved his hair so short.

Sun Chengzong ignored them and walked straight to the edge of one of the most lively stalls. found a table and sat down, and immediately Xiao Er, who was wearing white sleeves and a white towel on his shoulder, came over.

"This lord! What do you eat? ”

"Two bowls of tofu brains, three burnt rings, and two fried fruits.

Get me two Uighur crispy spoons over there, too! ”

Sun Chengzong pointed to the stall next to him, the guy in the white hat and said.

"Yo! This lord has a good appetite, everything else is fine. It's just that you have to buy the sugar puff spoon yourself! ”

"What do you mean?" Sun Chengzong looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.

"The Uighurs are not easy to talk to, and they are against us. Thank you! ”

"Oh, then we'll buy it ourselves!" Sun Chengzong kicked Sun Quan, who was sleepy, and motioned for him to buy a fire spoon.

Where can I still use Sun Quan, the guard company commander who hurriedly changed his shirt and pants in military uniform, and even brought the Uighur basket.

More than a dozen plainclothes pretended to be fine, and the stalls had been held at both ends.

As long as Sun Chengzong had a bad stomach, he would be able to dismantle the white-hatted Uighur man in eight pieces.

The Uighurs, who were stupid, had not yet reacted. Still chasing the guard company commander to give money!

After the commander of the guard company threw over a silver dollar, the goods immediately fell silent.

Sun Chengzong didn't care about this, took a bite of the puff pastry and nodded with satisfaction.

Not to mention, the puff pastry made by the Uighurs is different from the taste made by the Han Chinese.

It is said that there is some kind of oil mixed in the noodles!

Anyway, the Uighurs like to eat greasy.

"Don't stand next to me, scare people away. Either sit down to eat, or stand far away. ”

The commander of the guard company had a green head and a coat, although he hurriedly put on a dress. can be lowered, wearing still olive green military pants.

The waist is bulging, and even fools can see that this is a soldier.

There was such a person next to Sun Chengzong, and everyone subconsciously avoided it.

I'm afraid of bumping into the nobles at this table!

The guard company commander gritted his teeth and sat down beside Sun Chengzong.

Don't dare to let this master have an accident, if something really happens, it's not something that can be explained by one or two heads.

"Hey......! This hat is for you to wear, and you will have a green skin on a cold day. Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand, took off the cotton hat from Sun Quan's head, and buckled it on the head of the guard company commander.

Da Ming's hairstyle is very messy now, and his old hair is very long, just like a woman.

Most of the younger students have short hair. Small splits are gradually becoming popular!

Those who shaved their scalps to look like green skin, except for the gangsters on the streets, only the soldiers in the barracks did this.

The notion that the body is indestructible is being strongly impacted.

Even a number of professions have begun to open up to women.

In the hospital, there are many female nurses.

There are many female doctors who treat women.

Women's illnesses, which were previously inconvenient for men to see, can now be well healed.

The most common entry of women is in cotton mills, no way, to do this kind of work, women are naturally more patient than men.

The girls who commute to work on bicycles on the street, needless to ask, are all female workers in cotton mills and knitting factories.

Now knitting factories also use machines, what is it called sewing machines.

When you step on the bottom of your feet, the machine "clicks" and "clicks".

A pair of pants, it won't take long to be ready.

At present, this kind of machine is used in the army's clothing factory.

The women of the Sun family also used this kind of machine.

Now what Sun Chengzong is wearing is the clothes made by his own daughters.

The tofu brain was served, steaming hot.

"There's coriander on the table, you can take it yourself." Xiao Er greeted warmly and hurried to other tables.

Looking at the green coriander on the table, Sun Chengzong shook his head helplessly again.

During the Apocalypse, eating green vegetables in winter was a privilege only available to the emperor.

How can there be a big bowl of coriander on an ordinary breakfast stall like now, and whoever wants to eat as much as they want.

Twenty years ago, even the emperor did not have such treatment.

In a trance, I suddenly heard a crisp child's voice.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!

A great victory on the Western Front!

The Marines landed in the hometown of the thief chief Napoleon, and all the thieves they encountered were beheaded.

Sell newspapers!

Sell newspapers! ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes widened, and he pointed to the newsboy who sold newspapers.

"Quick! Hurry up and buy a newspaper for the old man and come back. ”

Not only Sun Chengzong was excited, but the whole street was boiling.

People surrounded the boy who sold the newspaper, and the copper brother in his hand stuffed it into his hand, and he took out a newspaper and ran.

The commander of the guard company was tall and large, and he rushed in with his body, threw down a silver dollar, dragged a stack of newspapers, and ran.

"Find ...... money!"

"Don't do it!"

The guard company commander was so excited that his face was flushed with excitement, and he handed a stack of newspapers to Sun Chengzong.

"Glasses!" Sun Chengzong shouted.

Sun Quan cowardly replied: "Didn't bring it!" ”

"You!" Sun Chengzong was about to get angry when he heard a young man shouting at the table next to him.

"Good! Good! his grandmother's yellow-haired man, and now even their emperor's hometown is occupied by us.

Fighting with our Daming, I'm tired of being crooked! ”

"That's it! Fighting with our Ming Dynasty is just tired of being crooked. Who doesn't know that our handsome man is an invincible general.

wanted to be so powerful as the Tartars back then, but they were all beaten to ashes by the big handsome.

In later life, the little old man was illiterate. You read the ......! ”

Sun Chengzong withdrew the hand he was about to hit his son, held his hands and closed his eyes, ready to listen to the young posterity read the newspaper.

At this time, no one ate breakfast, and everyone looked at the afterlife with blank eyes.

"Ahem......!" The latter seems to enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight.

"Napoleon, the French thief chieftain, his hometown was in a place called Corsica.

Two days ago, I was a Ming marine. Successfully landed on the island and captured the island's tower...... Vignano, Ciudad Tavignano. ”

"What? There is also a city on the island, which is quite a big island. ”

"Huh! The emperor's hometown has been occupied by us, and this battle is still a fart. ”

"I think it should be over after the New Year."

"I think I'll be able to finish it before the year."

"I've heard that there are millions of yellow-haired people, so you have to fight until the fifteenth day of the first month."

"We have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month, and the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month will be victorious."

The crowd of onlookers applauded, speculating that the war would end soon.

Some have already begun to dream of going to Europe after the war.

"A few days ago, the newspaper said that our Ming Dynasty won this battle, and everyone in Europe is an uncle."

"Get out of your uncle, you bear-like, when you go to Europe, you will also lose your share to our Ming people."

"Hahaha!"

"I've heard that the yellow-haired girls in Europe are ......!"

Sure enough, a group of men are together, and the topic is inseparable from women and gambling.

Sun Chengzong smiled and took a handful of Sun Quan, who was listening with relish: "Drink quickly!"

It's all cold! ”

Sun Quan reluctantly began to bow his head and drink tofu brain again, and he was slapped by his father in his sixties, which is a blessing that not everyone can have.

After breakfast, Sun Chengzong walked back slowly.

A large group of guards followed, and it was not until he returned to the villa in Yuquan Mountain that Sun Chengzong sat in the study and read the newspaper very seriously.

"Daddy! Maybe this battle can really be fought around the New Year. ”

Sun Quan stood aside and waited.

"I can't even catch up with half of your son, so I know this way. When the magistrate county has lifted you! Sun Chengzong didn't take his eyes off the newspaper.

“……!” Sun Quan wanted to smack his mouth, but he couldn't hear good words in his father's mouth.

"What? Not convinced?

The combined population of Europeans is almost 50,000, which is more than our Ming people combined.

What about the handsome?

He also does not want the people to live a hard life, and insists on a low ratio of soldiers to people.

More than 200 ordinary people supported a soldier who was fighting in the front.

In terms of our current national strength, we can afford to fight.

European!

Hehe! A dozen people, dozens of people to support a soldier.

The front line engaged in millions of troops, plus the delivery of supplies to the troops, the workers of the arsenal.

I'm afraid that there are tens of millions of people!

Now we are on the Western Front, but there are only five or six hundred thousand horses. but against an enemy ten times his own.

If it weren't for the Russians, plus my Ming soldiers were sharp.

Perhaps, we have already been defeated.

It was precisely when Li Xiu saw this layer that he would venture to land on Corsica.

Napoleon did not want his homeland to fall, so he divided his troops to resist. ”

"That Corsica still has a city, what a tower is it...... or something!"

"Tavignano!

Day by day, I don't learn and don't know. ”

Sun Chengzong glanced at his son angrily!

"No!" Sun Quan couldn't argue with his father, so he could only spit on his face.

"Hey......!

Fortunately, our family is clean, otherwise how could we get it.

You go out, I'll be alone for a while. ”

Sun Chengzong looked at his eldest son helplessly!

Now the only thing the Sun family can count on can only be Sun Zhijie, who is far away in the Middle East.

It seems that in the last letter, Sun Zhijie was still saying that he was preparing his army to attack the city of Baghdad.

After thinking about it again and again, Sun Chengzong picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Sun Zhijie.

After thinking about it, I scribbled and rewrote it for a long time before I could write the letter well.

After transcribing it, he blew the ink and sealed the envelope, adding his own fire paint.

Shouted Sun Quan again!

"Send the words of the third room to Basra and hand over this letter to Zhijie in person."

"No!"
