At noon, it was roasted pine cones and elm bark noodles.

The pine cones were picked up by Zhao Lin yesterday, and the elm bark noodles are made by grinding corn and grain bran into flour to make bran noodles used to satisfy hunger.

This kind of chaff is not sticky, it is not formed into a dough with water, and it needs to be mixed with ground elm bark to make pasta.

Elm bark is hungry, but eating too much can be very painful to go to the toilet.

After the food was eaten, the spirit beast diagram in Zhao Lin's mind began to change.

A faint white mist appeared in the first lattice, like moisture on the glass in winter, gathering at the bottom of the lattice.

The white mist was slowly released outward, and Zhao Lin felt a stream of hot air flowing down from the top of his head.

neck, chest, arms, back, waist and abdomen...... Wherever the heat flows, life grows.

After a few moments, the white mist was released, and the changes in his body stopped.

"If you don't eat well, you only have such a little vitality!"

Zhao Lin was not surprised, according to the memory in his mind, the white mist was the vitality extracted from the food by the spirit beast diagram.

The spirit guides the vitality and causes the body to evolve.

The spirit of the old scalper guided these vitality to strengthen the physical body and enhance Zhao Lin's strength.

If he absorbs the spirit of a dog, then it is his olfactory system that has evolved.

However, his current strength is still far from that of an ox, and this is a gradual and continuous process.

"Daddy, I want to find a job in the county."

Zhao Lin said to his parents with a solemn expression.

He wants to earn money and eat meat!

Only by eating well and eating well can you provide enough vitality for the spirit beast diagram.

"To the county?"

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were stunned when they heard this.

Zhao's mother was the first to react and said: "The county seat is too far away, and if you are not familiar with the place, you will go to the town if you want to go." ”

"By the way, your brother has worked in Jin Dahu's house, and he may be able to find someone to talk about it."

Zhao Lin shook his head lightly, "Jin Dahu recruits short-term workers, and he is replaced twice in three days, and I heard that there are many people looking for work recently, and the salary is very low." ”

"There are many people entering the city......

Father Zhao took over the conversation and said: "In the surrounding villages, I know that there are two people who make a living in the city, one is a blacksmith and the other can grind tofu. ”

"Our family is farming, there is no skill, you can only work hard in the city, you are only sixteen during the New Year, I am afraid that you can't compete with those strong men."

Zhao Lin suddenly smiled and said, "Daddy, you don't know that after a serious illness, my strength suddenly increased. ”

In order to reassure the second elder, he decided to show his strength.

"Healed and strengthened?" The two elders looked at each other.

"I don't believe you."

Zhao Lin said and walked into the yard, and the father and mother didn't know why, so they also walked out.

There was a stone mill in the yard, and Zhao Lin grabbed the bottom of the mill with one hand and lifted it above his head.

The stone mill is not too heavy, but if one hand is raised at will, even those strong men in the village may not be able to do it.

Father Zhao was dumbfounded, "Why are you ......?"

Mother Zhao's eyes couldn't see clearly, so she turned her head and asked, "What did Lin Er do?" ”

He lifted the stone grinder with one hand.

"Put it down, don't get hurt!"

Zhao Lin put down the stone grinder and clapped his palms, "Daddy, do you believe it now?" ”

Father Zhao nodded again and again, "Okay, with so much strength in my son, maybe he can really find a job." ”

Mother Zhao said: "It's almost noon, why don't you go again tomorrow." ”

Zhao Lin took the gourd from the hanger, filled it with water and tied it around his waist, and said, "I'll ask first, and if the negotiation is completed early, I will earn money one day earlier." ”

Mother Zhao hurriedly went back to the house and took a few chaff cakes out, "Take it, I'm hungry to eat on the way!" ”

Zhao Lin's eyes were hot, he put the cake into his arms, turned around and strode out.

"Do you know how to get there?"

"Kid, be careful on the road."

The second elder admonished behind him, and Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "Daddy, don't worry, wait for me at home." ”

……

Qinghe County is more than 20 miles away from Sanjia Village, and Zhao Lin and his brother entered the city once when they handed over grain last year.

He had considered last night that although the town could make money, if he wanted to understand the world in depth, he should still be in a bustling county town.

Rushing all the way, I arrived at the east wharf of the county seat at about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Qinghe County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with excellent geographical conditions, and is also one of the largest counties in Yingzhou, plus the surrounding villages and towns, with more than 200,000 household registrations.

In winter, the small river freezes, but the big river is unblocked.

There are many fishing boats, passenger ships, and merchant ships moored at the wharf, and the flow of people is bustling and very lively.

Some men who were strong and busy carrying goods attracted Zhao Lin's attention.

These people were all wearing white shoulders, black belts around their waists, and sweat scarves, obviously having a unified organization.

Zhao Lin observed for a while and determined that these people were the dock workers he was looking for, called Lifu in this era.

"Big brother, who are you in charge here?"

Zhao Lin grabbed a simple-looking Lifu and asked.

Lifu was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask the reason, and looked in the direction of the river embankment, "This dock is under the control of Bangye, and the one wearing the silk robe is." ”

Zhao Lin followed his gaze and saw a wide chair on the shore, and a purple-faced man sat on it.

The big man stomped on Erlang's legs, held a tea bowl in his hand, and sipped slowly, and there were two attendants standing behind him, looking very stylish.

Zhao Lin thanked him, walked straight to the big man, and saluted with his hands crossed, "Bangye, I want to work here, do you think it's okay?" ”

Bang Ye didn't even look at him, and snorted in his nostrils, "My subordinates are all strong men, and you can't do it with this body." ”

The entourage standing behind him echoed: "We are all deadly work here, you can't do it, go back." ”

Zhao Lin is now about 1.7 meters tall, which is not short in this era, but because of insufficient nutrition, his body is relatively thin.

"I have strength." Zhao Lin said in a deep voice.

Bang Ye waved his hand and said impatiently: "Little kid is blowing nonsense, go and go, don't make a fuss here." ”

Zhao Lin knew that it was useless to just talk about it, so he glanced around and saw a Lifu pushing a wheelbarrow next to him, which was full of briquettes.

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Lin stopped Lifu, took the wheelbarrow, grabbed the edge of the body with both hands, riveted his strength, and lifted the coal to his chest.

Bang Ye couldn't calm down anymore, his hand shook, the tea soup splashed out, and he said in surprise: "You, have you practiced martial arts?" ”

It turns out that there are warriors in this world...... Zhao Lin's heart moved, but he replied: "I haven't practiced, I was born." ”

"Born with divine powers?"

Bangye's brows jumped, and he said in his heart that it was not a gentleman who came to entertain Lao Tzu, and asked, "What is your name and where did you come from?" ”

Zhao Lin replied: "My man Zhao Lin is a farmer at the foot of Baitou Mountain, who is idle at home in winter, goes to the city to find work, and asks for the fulfillment of the list." ”

Seeing that Zhao Lin was honest and not fake, he couldn't figure out his origin for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You have this strength, but you can afford this bowl of rice." ”

"Thank you."

Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do you calculate the salary?" ”

"The salary is paid every day, and it will be paid after work, but you have to pay me half of the money."

"Half?"

"Don't be too much, this rule is the same everywhere, and besides, the money is black and white, and there are few children in my hands."

"Then follow the rules."

Zhao Lin heard his father and brother talk about the experience of going out to work, and knew that the world was like this, so he continued to ask: "Then can I do it now?" ”

"Absolutely."

Bang Ye said and spread out his palms, "Pay a deposit of 100 Wen first." ”

"This ...... We are penniless. ”

Zhao Lin patted his body and said that he had no money.

"No money? So what if you run away with the goods? ”

Bang Ye frowned, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, master, I have a good heart, let people take you to do it first." However, five cents will be deducted from your salary every day for twenty days. ”

After speaking, he beckoned a short man, "Ma Jiu, you lead him to work today." ”

The short man answered in a muffled voice, took a white shoulder for Zhao Lin, and led him to a grain ship.

"Bangye, where did this kid come from? You don't even take a deposit? ”

Zhao Lin left, and the entourage behind Bang Ye asked.

Bang Ye didn't speak, raised his hand, and the entourage hurriedly handed over a dry tobacco to help him light it.

"The cart of coal...... Not to mention three hundred pounds. ”

Bang Ye took two puffs of dry tobacco and said slowly: "He said that he has never practiced martial arts, I don't believe it." Wang Dana of the Tiger Head Gang is known as a master of the power realm, and I don't think it's much stronger than him if it's more powerful than me. ”

"In this part of the East Wharf, which leg of ordinary people doesn't shake in front of my lord? What do you think of his style? ”

"Let's mix the rivers and lakes, the tricks should be bright, and those who don't know the details should try not to offend. Taking a step back, even if it's the same as he said, it's an ordinary farmer, and it's not for me to work? ”

Speaking of this, Bang Ye proudly spat out the smoke ring.

"He has a lot of strength and does a lot of work, so don't I take more of it?"

The entourage looked admiring, "Bang Ye Gao Jian!" ”
