Chapter 399: Two Eggs

Erdan went to the wine shop next door, and the same sign was hung at the door of this house.

He sold a dime of the three liquors brewed in the store, and he should pay ten cents.

He had enough copper coins in his arms, but he handed over another food stamp.

Discounting is one thing, the most important thing is to exchange this piece of paper for copper coins......

After buying these two things, he carried the seventy copper coins he had recovered, and then separated from his co-workers, walked through the streets and alleys, and went home.

His family came to Suzhou from Shandong to take refuge in the late Yuan Dynasty, and after three years of apprenticeship in order to make a living, he finally became a pickpocket.

This pickpocket is not another pickpocket, not a three-handed kind, but a type of work that operates a loom. Although the income is not bad, the price of Suzhou is also high, relying on him and his daughter-in-law who are embroiderers, they can barely support the whole family.

But once there is an illness or a disaster in the family, you can only help the neighbors. So don't think about saving or anything, famine is pulling a butt.

However, his family was very content, if he had stayed in his hometown in Shandong, he didn't know how many times he would have died in the chaos. Even after Emperor Hongwu sat in the world, his life in Suzhou was much stronger than his hometown.

At least the family did not starve to death, and they could still eat a good meal during the New Year's holidays and make new clothes for the elderly and children...... This is already a good day that he couldn't even think of when he was a child.

But after the beginning of spring this year, the good days were suddenly gone, and he couldn't find a job at the same time.

The family thought about everything they could think of. Asking for food, doing odd jobs, and borrowing money...... But all of them were a drop in the bucket, and the familiar poverty and hunger struck again, starving the children of the family to the point of being skinny and crying at night.

It was all thanks to the wild vegetables after the beginning of spring and a little coarse grain lent by the original owner, that no one starved to death in the family. But it's also fast......

So he also participated in the disturbance in March, not because he had much opinion on the government, he couldn't figure out the twists and turns here. Mainly because someone takes care of the food and pays back the money.

It's a pity that it was a day of trouble, and then it died down...... Later, it was the bloody liquidation of the imperial court, and he also arrested all the masters in Suzhou and almost beheaded them.

On the day of the beheading, Suzhou City was empty, but he didn't go, first, he was so hungry that he didn't want to move, and second, he was desperate. The proprietor of the proprietor has been arrested, and the start of construction is even more far away, and the family will definitely starve to death. How can you still be in the mood to watch the 'Spring Festival Gala'?

He discussed with the Hun family to send his son to the temple, and his daughter to be a child daughter-in-law, so that the baby could have a way to live. Although the Hun family is very sad. But I also know that this is the only way.

The second egg was easy to persuade and persuade, and finally unified the opinions of the whole family. But when he put it into practice, he was dumbfounded, there were too many people who had the same idea, and his son and daughter couldn't send it out at all......

He was completely desperate, weeping bitterly at home, preparing to hang his family and save the province of continuing to suffer.

As a result, at this moment, the neighbor Brother Ma knocked on the door of his house and shouted outside: "Erdan, go to Guanqian Street and recruit workers!" ”

~~

Then, the story begins to change from generation to generation......

The two of them were afraid of missing this rare opportunity, so they hurried slowly, ran out of breath, and came to Guanqian Street. only to find out that this place turned out to be a factory robbing workers, and there was no one to hire at all. Moreover, each workshop also launched a battle to grab people on the spot, and forcibly raised the salary to 100 Wen!

Happiness came so suddenly, the two of them felt like they were in a dream. But this dream is too real, isn't it?

Erdan didn't dare to screw himself, because if this was a dream, he wanted this dream to be as long as possible.

Because in this beautiful dream, the two of them have a job again, and they can really get a hundred wen every day. And he actually managed lunch and was full......

The elderly and children in the family, as well as their younger brothers and sisters, also have food. In less than ten days, the chin of his two cubs has become round again.

Whether it was a dream or not, he was so happy that he took the opportunity to try the food stamps, beat the wine, cut the meat, and went home happily to celebrate.

Not surprisingly, as soon as he entered the door, he let his mother scold. "It's not a New Year's Day, what are you doing with these expensive goods?".

"Eat meat, eat meat!" The children cheered around their father, just like the New Year.

"Mother, the two of us are making a lot of money now." The second egg was not annoyed, and handed the wine and meat to the Hun family with a smile. ”

"It's only been a few days since I resumed work, and I started burning bags?" His mother then scolded: "The famine in the neighborhood hasn't been paid yet, let the family see it, and don't poke our backbones?!" ”

"Yes, yes." Erdan hurriedly changed his words: "Isn't this the food stamp issued today, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so buy something and string money." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the seventy copper coins to the old lady, and the old lady said with a slightly gloomy expression: "You should go and exchange for food, it's a waste." ”

"There is no discount for changing food."

"Oh......" the old lady immediately understood. He was no longer angry and had dinner with his daughter-in-law.

~~

So for dinner, the children finally had meat. The two of them also drank a little wine, and the old and the young were very happy.

"It's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." The second dan dad held the wine cup, took a small sip of wine, and was stunned to drink the rice wine out of the feeling of soju.

"Yes, Dad," Erdan was not drunk, and everyone was drunk, and said with tears in his smile: "This dream of mine is so beautiful." ”

"Dreaming? What do you dream about? When his younger brother Sandan heard this, he reached out and twisted the second brother, which hurt so much that Erdan grinned.

"It hurts, it hurts...... Oh, isn't it a dream? Erdan finally returned to reality, and when he saw that nothing had changed, he said, "That's me drunk." ”

"It's gone, it's gone...... "Sandan sat on the ground.

"Hahaha, second egg, you are neither dreaming nor drunk." The second father has gone to ethnic studies, knows a few words, and has a longer knowledge than his son.

"Right now, we're catching up with a wave of good times, and it's normal for you to be dizzy. Don't talk about it, even you are dizzy. The second father took a sip of wine and said:

"So Dad has been inquiring for the past few days, what's going on? Why are all the big families in Suzhou City changing sex? The tiger does not eat people, but becomes a bodhisattva? ”

"yes, what's going on?" The sons asked in unison, "Do you understand?" ”

"I understand, it's all because of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" The second dad's tone became respectful.

"King Chu? That's not killing Master Lu......" The second egg said in a lost voice.

"Fart!" Before he finished speaking, he was sternly stopped by his father. "Your Highness is the living Bodhisattva of the Ten Thousand Buddhas! Lu Zhonghe is the culprit who the people can't uncover this year! That beast actually took those big families and poured dirty water on His Highness! ”

"That's ......" Erdan couldn't help but feel guilty, he scolded the sixth child a lot at that time.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness punished the bad guys regardless of his past suspicions, forced them to start work, and gave the workers double wages," the second father said loudly: "Can this be a bad person?" ”

"Can't!" Sandan immediately said loudly: "Whoever dares to say that the King of Chu is a bad person, I will fight with him!" ”

"Really good guys." Although Erdan is more steady, he also has the same opinion.

The people's view of right and wrong is so simple, whoever can let them eat is a good person; Whoever can make them live a good life is their God!
