Good morning! Three Kingdoms Migrant Workers Section 78
"You're two pounds of dim sum?"
"yes, how could a villain be a liar?"
"That's not enough!" The big man shouted, "You only have a pound or twelve taels at most!" ”
The stall owner's face turned red all of a sudden, and the green tendons on his neck came out, "My family has been doing this business for more than ten years!" Who in Plains City hasn't bought my baskets! Can I fool you! ”
"Whoever has bought it, you don't have enough snacks!"
In a place like a small county town, there is usually no excitement, and the big man has a bright voice, and a group of idlers quickly gathered, plus today's stall owners with average business, all came over to see the excitement, pointing and whispering.
…… She had already bought it anyway, took out the money, and when she was about to hand it over, she was stopped by the big man.
"He must have become a traitor when he saw a strange merchant," said the great man, "and I am afraid that your share of dim sum will not be enough!" ”
She blinked, and just as she was about to say that she didn't really care about the lack of weight, the big man had already rushed to another stall, dropped a five-baht coin, shouted and borrowed it, and brought the scale rod over!
"Look!" Dahan put the bag back on the scale, "See for yourself!" ”
The onlookers immediately let out a chorus of coaxing, "Zhou Da! You're lying again! ”
"I've been caught!"
"Even if your mother-in-law asks you to sell five hundred dollars a day to get to bed," cried out an idler, stretching his neck, "you don't have to be in such a hurry! ”
So the surrounding crowd burst into happy laughter, and the stall owner had tears in his eyes, and collected fifty-five yuan from the big man and twenty-five yuan from her...... Counting the five-baht coin that Dahan spent on this scale, he still spent sixty dollars inside and out.
…… This is probably the difference between a person who lives a serious life and a salted fish who lives casually.
Anyway, she still has to thank her for saving her a lot of money.
Seeing that the big man turned around and wanted to leave the market, she chased after him and politely thanked him.
"Thank you," the big man waved his hand, "You must have just arrived in the plains before you were deceived by them, and you must be more vigilant in the future." ”
She suddenly remembered the stall owner's words, "Brother Tai is also from the New Plains?" ”
"Well," the big man replied, "I'm coming with my brother." ”
If you stay here for a while, it seems that it would be good to get to know a few more neighbors? With this in mind, she introduced herself very sincerely.
"Hanging fish in the lower land, taking refuge from Guanzhong, unknown brother Tai ......"
He glanced down at her, and the setting sun hit his beard, which had a particularly strong presence, so that the sense of déjà vu was even stronger.
But she couldn't have imagined that this eldest brother was really holding two catties of twist flowers and reporting to his home with a smile.
"My ancestor went to Hedong, and followed my brother from Zhuo County to here, his surname is Guan Mingyu, and the word cloud is long."
Chapter 84
His surname is Guan, his name is Yu, and his word is long, and he followed Liu Bei from Zhuojun to Pingyuan City.
Although his face is not eye-catching red dates, he does not have a cuckold on his head, and he is holding two catties of twist flowers instead of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, but he is undoubtedly Guan Gong.
…… But how could Guan Gong like to eat twist flowers?! She has never seen a restaurant Internet café billiards hall to Guan Gong for twist flowers!
This question was a little underwhelming, but she still couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Yun likes to eat twist flowers?"
Guan Gong raised his eyebrows, "The children in the family like it." ”
…… It's still a fatherly daddy!
Guan Gong glanced at the sword behind her back, "Do you want to stay in the plain for a long time?" ”
"Ah, probably not......," she hesitated, "probably going east." ”
"To the east?" The other party was a little incomprehensible.
She smiled and nodded.
Liu Bei will establish Shu Han in the future, she knows it, but this is the junction of Qingdao and Hebei, that is to say...... Anyway, this is not Liu Bei's base. Although it seems that this person's character may not be bad at the moment, after all, she has just been promoted once, and she really doesn't want to upgrade again in the near future......
This wish was shattered at once when he returned to his residence.
Everyone gathered around the concentric people who fell on the couch, panicking! At that moment, she also blew up with her scalp!
After all, since she was seven months pregnant, she has been wandering around, she has suffered any stimulation and suffered everything, but she has never shouted bitterness, so everyone always thinks that she is really strong and does not have to worry too much.
Then she collapsed next to the stove while she was cooking on the fire...... Fortunately, Lu Hangyu felt his pulse, although it was a little weaker, but it was quite stable.
"I don't know what it is...... What's the matter......" Tongxin said with a pale face and a groggy voice, "but I can't use my strength, and my heart is beating weakly." ”
"It's okay," she quickly waved her hand, "You see that although this little town is remote and desolate, it is still quiet, and you can live here for a year and a half and take a rest." ”
She thought about it for a while, and quickly took out the bag of small twist flowers from her arms, "Do you want to eat some?" ”
…… Tongxin didn't have much appetite, but he still took a little bit and put it in his mouth to chew, and the rest was instantly divided by a few large and small Loli and a four-year-old baby.
"This is delicious!" After Xiaolang finished eating his own, he tried to rob his sister's share, but was ruthlessly beaten in his paws, and immediately shouted in a hurry, "I want to!" Still! ”
"I don't want any!" Siniang said, "Eat too much and make your stomach hurt!" ”
"Ah, I'll buy some more tomorrow." She recalled, "There were other dim sums, and although there were not many varieties, they could be eaten in rotation!" ”
"Then let's buy some of everything," Dong Bai said with sparkling eyes, "If we live here for a long time, we should prepare some snacks and visit a few friends and neighbors next door." ”
That's the right idea, but ......
Tongxin, who was lying on the couch, reluctantly stretched out a hand and shook it, "We didn't bring so much gold silk when we left Chang'an...... If you live for a long time, what should I do with the rent, and what should I do with my daily food? ”
Dong Bai, who didn't seem to have any concept of money, turned his head to look at her, so Siniang also looked at her, and Li Er also looked at her carefully.
Xiaolang, who couldn't understand the atmosphere, found that it was useless to shake the corners of his sister's clothes, so he ran over and shook the corners of her clothes, "I want to!" I want that! ”
"Okay," she said, "I'll buy it tomorrow, don't worry." ”
…… The peaceful life in the city has not returned, but the troubles of life in the market have come back first.
In the dead of night, everyone went to sleep. Originally, Tongxin mother and son slept in a room with Lori and Xiaolang, and she slept in a room with Li Er, but now Tongxin is sick, so it was slightly changed, Tongxin slept in a room with a baby, Lori and Xiaolang slept in a room, Li Er was at the end of the stove, and the cover at this end belonged to her.
…… So she couldn't sleep and had to think about life.
She was supposed to sit in the doorway, or on the roof of her house, like an unruly and liberty-loving ranger, silently and deeply planning her plans under the moon. But considering that the clothes had to be washed if they were dirty, and the cloth clothes were easy to spoil after washing them a few more times, she still squatted at the door, motionless and stared at the quiet night of this small city, thinking about how she should make money.
This small courtyard rents 500 yuan a month, which is actually not very expensive, but they don't have much cash, although there are a lot of belongings, but none of them can be sold casually, the ewes are used for milking, and the rams are still looking forward to increasing production to serve the country, and they can't be sold for the time being; A horse and a cart can be sold for some money, but since they are not going to stay for a long time, this is a precious means of transportation, and they cannot be sold.
The rest are all pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt, only bought, not sold.
She was unaccompanied, and it was hard to think that someone would be recommended for the position of a pig slayer as she had been at the beginning; Or of course, she can also go to Guan Yu and ask him to help think of a way; Of course, she is still a swordsman, and with her skills, she can get a good deal from any wealthy family - even princes.
— as long as she's willing to kill for money.
However, the salted fish, who had no interest, finally slapped his thigh and got up and returned to his bed. Her bag was very simple, except for the necessary things, there was only a bed and a pillow, and when it came to pillows...... The outer layer of the box must have been made of wood, and the pattern on it was extremely exquisite, and the corners were inlaid with gold, and she held the box, looked left and right, and snuck up to the roof, and in the moonlight, she pulled out the black blade.
【…… I said, 'Are you going to do this with me?' 】
"I'm going to pry it and see what kind of heirloom it is, and if it can be sold for money, it can just subsidize the family." 】
There was no moon tonight, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no reflection on the blade of the black blade, so he gently and brutally stuffed the tip of the sword into the keyhole, and then forced-
【…………………… What is this? 】
She took the jade, missing a corner and made up the seal with gold, looking up and down, left and right, [Can this thing be sold?] 】
Blackblade didn't want to pay attention to her, and of course, she didn't really want Blackblade to answer. Even if it's a 0-point contestant in history class, anyone who has watched a few TV series will recognize what this thing is, but because of this, it seems even more ridiculous.
In the eyes of many people, it represents the authority of the Han Dynasty, the authority of the imperial court, the authority of the Son of Heaven, as well as sacredness, legitimacy, legal reason, and so on and so forth.
But it is not hungry enough to eat, and cold is not enough to wear.
It cannot prevent the change of dynasties, it cannot prevent natural disasters from descending on the world, and it cannot prevent the death of any one person.
【…… You wait,] Black Blade suddenly spoke, "Are you going to do this?" 】
"I cut off the golden tip," she said, "I flattened it and sold it for money." 】
…… In the end, it was the unbearable black blade that stopped her, [You can do anything if you want, go to work, carry work, carry sandbags, hurry up and find a strength to work, let it go.] 】
…… In the end, she ruthlessly cut off the corners and corners of the gold-inlaid box on the box, and even made a lot of slaps, which shows that the materials used are exquisite and extravagant.
I took it to the market for 3,000 yuan, and if I saved money, it would be enough to live for a while, but considering that Tongxin had to take medicine and buy a boat if she went to sea, and she didn't want everyone to live too sparingly, she couldn't just rely on these 3,000 yuan to sit and eat empty.
"What is there in this city where there is work?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, looked her up and down a few times, smiled and shook his head, "Yes, yes, but Lang Jun is afraid that it won't work." ”
"Why not?"
"When Lang Jun entered the city, didn't he see the county order post a notice to recruit people and go to dig a ditch outside the city?" He said, "In addition to a meal, I still have twenty or thirty dollars a day, but that work is tiring, and Lang Jun is ...... worth."
When she entered the city...... How did she know that she was unconscious. However, eating one less meal a day and taking twenty or thirty dollars more, although it is not as good as killing pigs, she doesn't pick either, and there is also a Li Er! Let's drag it to work!
Compared with Luoyang and Chang'an, the earth city of the plain is basically a large Wu Fort, which has to be repaired for decades, and a rain may collapse a section of the city wall in a few decades, so standing outside the city and looking at the plain city wall, there are traces of patches everywhere, some patches are especially new, and it is Liu Bei's handwriting at a glance.
In such a small earthen city, the moat is basically not much different from the stinky water ditch, and it can probably only resist the Yellow Turban Army that is not strong-willed, so after Liu Bei arrived, he immediately began to recruit people to dig a ditch and widen the moat.
Although the city was very calm and had never experienced war, as soon as you left the city, you could immediately feel the oppression of the war - there was not a single thicker tree in sight, and at a glance it was clear that it had either been cut down as a baggage, or it had simply been cleared, leaving behind a forest of sparse small trees to thrive on this wasteland.
Some peasants who were busy with spring ploughing and had two days of leisure one after another, in order to have one meal a day, plus a salary of 20 yuan, came to meet the demand. These peasants are basically gangs, and they come to a large family, so they have a habit of picking and choosing, and they don't like to do dirty work very much, and they especially like to squeeze out the homeless people who come from outside, such as a very thin little boy.
She set out from Chang'an, and she didn't know how many rogues and bandits she had killed along the way, and Wu Bao alone was less than a dozen, but more than a hundred, so no matter whether her name was obvious or not, no one could bully her anyway. So now being bullied by a group of peasants, this feeling is very subtle......
…… It's not that she shakes M, she really feels that this feeling is still a little nostalgic, although the people here are so-so, there are shortages of catties and two pounds in business, and there are lazy and slippery workmen, but everyone from their expressions to their words to their manners, it seems that there is a kind of relaxation in a state of peace, at least no one has a precarious fear on their faces.
So what's so bad about doing a little more work than anyone else?
But Li Er didn't think so.
He wandered all the way, and now that he finally settled down, the thoughts of those very small citizens immediately resurfaced, for example, although he did not have a deed of sale, he also recognized Lu Hangyu as the master, and also accepted the fact that this little boy was better than him, that is, better than him...... But is it so hard to live a better life with this master?
Isn't there someone in Ruoyang who wants to win over Lu Langjun? Didn't he even look at Wenhou Lu Bu differently when he arrived in Chang'an? Isn't it that as soon as he goes out, someone is respectful to him, and even when he returns to Luoyang to live temporarily, someone comes to visit him and sends all kinds of generous gifts?
…… Why did this man have so much to come and dig a ditch? Not only dig a ditch, but also pull him to dig a ditch together! What is the reason of heaven!
As the sun approached midday, the weather became hotter.
The lord was still tirelessly digging ditches, and the servants had slipped aside to be lazy.
Someone handed over a water bladder, and Li Er took it with great gratitude and took a sip.
