Jiang Yi came back to his senses, only to realize that he had exposed a little bit of his bottom line under the emotion just now.

and the servant who took his sister away, who deliberately said that he had silver on him.

He wants to die on his own!

Jiang Yi suddenly felt the great malice between people.

Seeing that the faces of the three people who came up were still bloody, and there was a hint of green in their eyes, he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, remembering a rumor.

There was little warmth among the victims.

They are all people who can't eat enough, and they can do anything for a bite to eat.

Jiang Yi had faintly heard in his memory that there was a group of people who specialized in eating human flesh, and every night some of the victims were missing, and they were poisoned.

Could it be these people?

Jiang Yi didn't dare to gamble.

Seeing that the three of them were about to catch him, Jiang Yi shouted:

"Cannibalism!"

"Someone's eating people!"

The attention of the surrounding victims was really attracted, but they only glanced at it twice, and then stopped paying attention, and even some people still had some longing in their eyes.

They don't eat people, but if you give them two pieces of meat, it's not unacceptable.

Seeing this, the three people who were taken aback were relieved, and then they became angry and reached out to grab it.

"Good boy, dare to slander your grandfather for eating people!"

Jiang Yi's face showed a little sadness, but he still forced his spirit and continued to shout:

"There's rice here, there's rice!"

He took out a small bag of rice that his sister had just given him, opened the bag with some distress, and then gritted his teeth and threw the rice into the sky.

Bang la blah.

The yellow-brown old rice fell to the ground, causing a heavy breathing sound.

"M!"

"Rice!"

The people around who were still half-dead just now all pounced.

Although it is only a small catty, for the disaster victims, one more bite of rice can live one more day.

"Damn it!"

The three people who still wanted to catch Jiang Yi were directly scattered by the victims, and they tried their best to break free from the crowd and chase Jiang Yi.

saw Jiang Yi take out another bag of rice and smash it directly on them, the rice grains spilled out of the air, and pointed at them and said:

"They have rice on them, white flowers!"

"Mine!"

"It's mine!"

The three of them were surrounded by the victims in an instant, and countless hands touched and pulled at them, causing a burst of pain.

Jiang Yi mustered up the last bit of strength and ran towards the city gate.

……

"Stop!"

The officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped Jiang Yi and said with some disgust:

"Entrance fee!"

After someone gave porridge to appease the victims, the gates of Baiyun City opened.

It's just that you have to pay the entrance fee to enter the city, and for the victims, the last copper plate has been exchanged for food, where is the money.

Most of the people were turned away from the city.

However, there are still some people who go into the city every day to work, and then rush back to bring some food for their families to eat before the city gates are closed.

Others stayed in the city, working or begging.

Otherwise, they would have starved to death by relying only on the soup soup in the city.

Jiang Yi wanted to go into the city to find a job before, and was thinking about where to get some copper plates, but his sister sold him without saying hello.

In that case, I'm afraid even she would be desperate.

He only regrets now that he was afraid of his identity as a traverser before, and he didn't make it clear to his sister earlier.

With his ability, as long as he enters the city, it is not difficult to support his sister and brother.

Jiang Yi asked, "How much?" ”

"Two ...... Sanwen! ”

As soon as the officers and soldiers defending the city saw Jiang Yi's appearance, they knew that no one would care about bullying him, so they directly raised their money.

Jiang Yi knew that he was being treated differently, but he still swallowed his anger and said:

"Official, I don't have any money, can I use rice instead?"

He couldn't expose the two taels of silver, otherwise according to the posture of the officers and soldiers just now, he would definitely swallow it directly.

So the only thing that could get him into the city was the last bag of rice.

"Do you still have rice?"

The officers and soldiers defending the city became interested, "Show me." ”

Jiang Yi took out a small cloth bag that was suffocating, and there was about half a catty of rice in it.

The officers and soldiers defending the city opened it and looked at it, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"It's all Chen Mi, but forget it, I'll be merciful today, and let you enter the city."

He waved his hand casually, like sending away a fly.

Jiang Yi didn't ask how much this bag of rice was worth, anyway, he asked in vain, but fortunately, he still left a small half bag.

He walked into Baiyun City like this, with starving victims in the back and bustling streets in front of him.

It's like two worlds.

……

"Hello shopkeeper, do you want someone here? I can read, I can do arithmetic, keep accounts, and it doesn't matter if I get paid less. ”

"Don't, don't!"

"Excuse me."

……

"Hello boss, are you hiring here? I can read, I can do arithmetic, keep accounts, I don't need to be paid, I can take care of food, and I can arrange a place to live. ”

", don't stop me from doing business."

"Sorry to interrupt."

……

"Hello hostess, are you looking for someone here? I can read, I can do arithmetic, keep accounts, I can do any job, I don't need to be paid, just take care of the food. ”

"Are you still literate?"

"I've been studying with Mr. Private School for a few years, so I'll know some."

Jiang Yi was shocked and hurriedly replied.

The only remaining half bag of rice has been eaten by him, and if he can't find a job anymore, he will have to use two taels of life-saving silver.

It's a tavern.

The bookkeeper at the counter was a proprietress who looked to be about thirty years old, which was the most charming age in a woman's life.

And the proprietress is not bad-looking, with a bumpy figure, wearing a red dress, like a big red peony.

So the tavern business is good.

Near the evening, the workers who got off the work nearby made two or two drinks here, ordered a plate of side dishes, chatted enthusiastically, and from time to time told a few meat jokes with the proprietress, which made everyone laugh.

But Jiang Yi had no intention of admiring the appearance of the proprietress.

His eyes stared straight at the braised pork on the table, fried peanuts, mixed cold vegetables, and even a plate of soybeans could make him unable to take his eyes off it.

Only when you are hungry do you know how precious a bite of food is.

"Write your name to me."

The proprietress handed over the brush.

Jiang Yi hurriedly withdrew his gaze, wiped his hands before taking it, and carefully wrote his name on the paper.

Although this Great Chu is not any feudal dynasty in his memory, the text here is not much different from his previous life, but it is traditional characters.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi is the same as the traditional and simplified characters, otherwise he would only be able to make up a character that he can write.

"The handwriting is good, it doesn't seem to be lying."

The proprietress took the pen from Jiang Yi's hand and wrote a simple arithmetic problem on the paper.

It was probably a hundred catties of wine, twenty cents per catty of wine, and twenty-five cents for selling it, and asked how much wen it earned.

Jiang Yi half-recognized and half-guessed, recognized the question, and easily calculated the answer.

"Five hundred wen."

The proprietress is even more satisfied.

She looked at Xia Jiang Yi's appearance again, and saw that although he was a little thin and out of shape, his foundation was still not bad, and his eyes were clear, not like a bad person.

"Look at your appearance, are you a recent disaster victim from outside the city?"

Jiang Yi nodded: "Yes, boss lady." ”

"Then you must not have found a place to live, right?"

"Hmm."

"In this way, in the future, you will work in the store during the day, watch the store at night, include food, and the salary, two dollars a month, and if you perform well, you will be added.

Questions? ”

"No problem!"

Jiang Yi immediately nodded and added.

"Thank you hostess!"

"Okay, you wait here for a while, take a look more, it's closed at night, and I'll arrange for you later."

After the proprietress finished speaking, she lowered her head and planned to plate, and from time to time she had to go out of the counter to greet guests.

Jiang Yi stood aside in an orderly manner, just watching the proprietress usher in the send-off, until night fell and the last guest left.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was still standing in place, the proprietress showed a satisfied smile on her face again, and shouted to the back kitchen:

"Lao Zhang, come out!"

"Boss, you call me."

Out of the back kitchen came a simple man with a red face and a thick neck, a little short and a big belly.

It's about one meter six, about the same height as the proprietress but, but two proprietresses are wide.

He looked at the proprietress with obvious admiration in his eyes.

"This is Jiang Yi, my newly hired worker in the store, it doesn't matter if we call you Xiao Jiang." The proprietress introduced.

"It's okay."

"Okay, Lao Zhang, you take Xiao Jiang to the backyard to take a bath, I'll go find out if my dead ghost husband has any suitable clothes left, and bring two to Xiao Jiang."

"Okay."

The man glanced at Jiang Yi, nodded and said:

"My name is Zhang Jiujin, the chef of the tavern, you can call me Brother Zhang or Lao Zhang."

"Brother Zhang, hello."

Jiang Yi behaved politely and carefully.
