"What is a meat bun?"

Mr. Jiang swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth cheekily.

This meaty old man is domineering, and the corn paste in his bowl is not fragrant in an instant.

This time, without Zeng Xiaotian opening his mouth, they soon saw the action of the selling man.

The dustpan contains the finished cakes, and another person brings a pot of stewed fragrant meat, mincing the meat and putting it into the cake, and adding a spoonful of soup...

Boom!

The three of them swallowed in unison.

"You drink!"

Mr. Jiang stuffed the corn paste in his hand into Nanfeng's hand, and the girl ran to the back of the meat bun queue to line up.

Good guy, such a fragrant meat bun only costs three pennies, and it would be a blood loss if you don't have one!

Shen Xing was faster than Mr. Jiang, from putting the dishes and chopsticks to queuing in one go, and grabbed ahead of Mr. Jiang with his hands and feet.

"Do you have any money?"

Mr. Jiang looked at the tall man in front of him with a squeezed expression, "If you don't have money, just go behind me!" ”

Money is a man's guts, and if you don't have money, even if you are high, you will be short of breath!

Shen Xing changed places with Mr. Jiang with a dark face.

For the sake of meat sandwich buns, he endures!

The team moved very slowly, and many people bought five or five together, which was due to the limit of five per person.

If there is no restriction on the purchase of meat sandwich buns, Mr. Jiang believes that there are eight out of ten people who buy them.

What's going on?

It's obviously such a dilapidated place, everyone doesn't even have a place to live, and most of them still live in tents, how can they spend so much money?!

One meat bun is three cents, and five is fifteen cents!

"Fifteen Wen is enough to cut one piece of meat, isn't this more fragrant than eating five meat sandwiches?"

Mr. Jiang couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, and directly pulled the man in front of him to ask.

"You're an outsider, aren't you?"

The man in front of him also smiled, "There has been a famine in the Northland for several months, so you think we still have meat to sell here?" ”

"This meat was brought back from the south by the caravan sent by the lady, and the supply is limited, so it can't be sold openly!"

"Besides, how good this meat bun is! It's noodles and meat, and you can't stew it when you buy a piece of meat and stew it yourself! ”

The man counted the number of people in front of him as he spoke, and said to Mr. Jiang happily: "I will only buy one today, and the remaining four will be given to you!" You can also taste the taste of our clear market! ”

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, the man who sold the rice suddenly shouted, "There are still fifty left... Don't line up the people in the back today, please be early tomorrow! ”

Mr. Jiang sneered, "Thank you..."

It's kind of interesting...

Originally, he just couldn't get rid of Lao Zhou's strong recommendation this time, and planned to come here for a turn, and then find an excuse to leave when he was not satisfied.

Now he was really a little reluctant to leave.

"Your meat bun, take it!"

Mr. Jiang paid, took a meat bun wrapped in oiled paper and began to nibble.

Shen Xing unceremoniously took the remaining three meat sandwich buns from his hand, stuffed one into Nanfeng and Zeng Xiaotian's hands, and couldn't wait to nibble on them.

Zeng Xiaotian thanked him excitedly, took a small bite carefully, and then wrapped the rest in oiled paper and put it in his arms.

Go back and let your younger siblings try it too...

"Hey... Fragrant! ”

After one bite, I feel comfortable all over!

Mr. Jiang's mouth was busy, and he took a few bites of a palm-sized meat sandwich bun.

Gotcha! Even if you stay here for this meat sandwich, you won't lose it!

Shen Xing was faster, and seeing that Nanfeng couldn't eat it, he took three or two bites of him and ate it.

Bang bang bang!

A group of people with gongs walked through the street, "Tomorrow East Street opens..."

"The market is going to open tomorrow! Then I'll have to get ready..."

"I'm going to buy needlework, clothes and vegetables... That's a lot to buy... We've got to get there early! I'm late and I can't buy anything..."

"Who's to say it isn't! I want to buy every thing that the caravan has brought back, but I hate that my family earns less..."

"You have said this to my heart! I only hope that the women's workshop mentioned by my wife will be built soon, and we will be able to make money by then! ”

"When you have money in your hand, you don't want to buy whatever you want!"

"That's what the old sister said! I'm living a lot of life now, not to mention how much I have to go..."

The chattering conversation of several women around him successfully attracted the attention of Mr. Jiang and the three of them to the news of the opening of the market tomorrow.

"Why are they so excited? Isn't it just to open a market! ”

Mr. Jiang touched his mouth, grabbed Zeng Xiaotian and asked again.

He could now understand why Madame had hired these half-grown children as guides.

Everything in Qingshi is very fresh, and I really can't figure it out without a guide!

"Sir doesn't know, now the entire Northland is still open here!"

Zeng Xiaotian couldn't help but raise his head when he said this, his face full of pride.

"The famine in the north has been going on for nearly a year, and the plague has broken out in Guancheng, and the people who have fled the famine have rushed to the south, and countless robbers have been entrenched on the trade routes from north to south..."

"The merchants in the south don't dare to go to the north, and the families in the north are busy protecting themselves, so they can't take care of it, and those who don't have the ability can't come, so our wife is still worried about our people!"

"That's a new thing..."

Zeng Xiaotian's words made Mr. Jiang look sideways.

A child has such an opinion, this Qing City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

He was becoming more and more curious about the lady now.

"Sir, I smiled..."

Zeng Xiaotian smiled shyly, "I also listened to a few ears when other gentlemen were discussing..."

"That's not a bad thing..."

Mr. Jiang suddenly felt a little emotion in his heart, "How could those powerful people ever put the life and death of the people in their hearts!" ”

"It's not that they can't transport grain from the south to the north, but they don't want to spend money for the people!"

"How much money can the people of the Northland have in their hands now?! Even if the goods and food are delivered, how many people can afford to buy them? ”

"Humph! How can those people compare to Madame?! ”

An old man next to him couldn't help but interject when he heard the conversation between the two, "Tomorrow morning, when you go to the East Market, you will know that what the old man said is right!" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked away angrily, making Mr. Jiang cry and laugh.

"Don't blame you, sir!"

Zeng Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment, "Mr. Zhang's temper is a little weird, but he is very good!" ”

"Mr. Zhang is a gentleman specially hired by Mrs., and he teaches people to read and write for free in the school in front of him every other day, and more than half of them are Mr. Zhang's disciples on this street!"

"Academy? Gratis? ”

Although Mr. Jiang was numb with shock along the way, the word "school" once again stirred his sensitive nerves.

Reading and literacy has always been a weapon in the hands of powerful families, when will the poor be able to read?

Listening to the meaning of the child in front of her, Mrs. not only trains children from poor families to read, but also everyone can read?

Zeng Xiaotian pointed casually, "No!" That's it..."

A few steps east along the canteen is the school, the school is similar to the canteen, it is a gray house, but a plaque of the school is hung on it.

"This is Mr. Sun sitting in the hall, and he is talking about "Thousand Character Text". Whoever is free can come and listen, and so can the little lady! Madame said, no age or gender! ”

Every time he saw other people's shocked expressions, Zeng Xiaotian couldn't help but be full of pride.
