Chapter 1238: Teach you to weave straw shoes first
The selection was over, but everyone seemed to understand something, even those who were left, who were relatively strong and well-dressed, remained silent and did not get angry.
Pu Er knew some of them, and he knew that although they also lived in refugee camps, the situation in their families was indeed better, and they brought enough things with them when they fled.
There are also a few who were selected to work in the Datang military camp before, and even so, at least one of these remaining families was selected.
"Okay, there are so many people selected at present, as for the follow-up if the scale is expanded, the rest of you will report directly to the barracks at that time." The Tang soldier standing in the carriage said with a smile.
After the Silla man finished translating, the Tang soldier continued: "Okay, today is the first day of recruitment, mainly to tell you some precautions, you basically don't have to do the work, so now you each go home to get the tools, and first send you everyone's wages for today." Now you'll all get your badges first, and then you'll go back and get your tools. ”
Only then did Pu Er realize that the sacks on the carriage where the soldier was standing should be filled with grain.
After the Silla man finished translating, Park Er lined up to get a wooden numbered badge and held it in his hand, then he turned around and ran in the direction of his house, there was food, there was food, his wife would have milk after eating, and the child would not starve to death.
Pu Er ran back home and told the good news to his weak wife, which made his wife, who didn't even have the strength to reply, have a happy look on her face, and Pu Er ran to the carriage with a big wooden bowl at home, a pound of grain, not much, but it was enough for his family to live.
Pu Er came back quickly, and when he arrived, the soldiers in the carriage had already opened a bag of grain, and they had a special tool, a weighing tool similar to a bamboo tube, and a flat tube was a large Tang Jin of grain, which they had weighed.
When he ran over, someone had already taken the grain, and Pu Er handed over his badge, and the soldier smiled and filled him with a tube of grain, which was piled up so high...... It's corn.
Seeing a tube of grain poured into his large wooden bowl, Pu Er walked towards his house as if holding a rare treasure, he was afraid of spilling any grain.
By the time Pu Er returned to his shack, his wife had barely lit the fire, and the only clay pot had been placed on the stone shelf on the fire with water.
"Dad, how much do you do?" Looking at the big bowl of grain in Pu Er's house, Park Er's wife swallowed her saliva and asked.
"It's all done, the three of you have eaten today, Datang is in charge of the rice, you are still nursing the child, no food, I will have a pound of food every day in the future." Pu Er gritted his teeth, and then made up his mind.
"Yes...... What should I do if Datang doesn't hire people later? His wife was worried.
"You eat it all these two days, and when you get better and have more strength, then save a little more every day." Park Er thought for a while.
"Good!"
"I'm not going to tell you yet, I have to go to the assembly and work."
"Good!"
After explaining, Pu Er hurriedly ran to the place where he had just gathered, and soon everyone rushed back, including the old men, half-grown children, and a few women.
"All lined up, now go back to the barracks." The Datang soldier standing in the carriage said loudly.
Soon, the carriage began to move, and Pu Er and the others walked to the military camp of Datang in a neat line. Following behind the carriage, everyone worked hard to maintain the neatness of the formation, for fear that the untidyness would lead to their dismissal.
It wasn't until this time that Pu Er suddenly discovered that in the huge refugee camp, puffs of smoke were rising, perhaps...... They are just like their own family, they are all waiting for the food to be cooked.
If there is no food, they dare not make a fire during the day, because everyone does not have much firewood, and they can't get by without firewood at night. And at this time, even if there is food, it is not this time to cook, almost the entire refugee camp eats one meal, and those who work in the Datang military camp have a meal there.
And those who don't work, have food, and eat a meal will choose to eat at night, because the charcoal burned for cooking must be taken to the shack for heating, and the burned soot must be buried under the soil and weeds will be used to warm it for a night.
It was at this time that Pu Er knew that there were many people like their family waiting for the rice to be put in the pot.
Pu Er thought of the situation just now when the Tang soldiers selected people, and the high-spirited Silla people. He suddenly became silent, why wasn't he a Tang Dynastyman?
Soon, Park Er didn't care about thinking about this, even if he was hungry, but he suddenly felt an unprecedented hope. If you have food, you can live, and if you can live, you can have hope!
Datang's military camp arrived soon, and when they arrived here, they found that Datang's military camp had already boiled porridge, which was the breakfast provided for them.
Pu Er lined up, endured the grunting hunger and screamed endlessly, and finally it was his turn soon, and Datang provided him with a large wooden bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
Holding the wooden bowl, Pu Er quickly hit a bowl of porridge, looking at the big bowl of porridge provided by Datang, he wanted to cry.
Because this thick porridge made his hands tremble a little, and, not just a bowl of porridge, everyone also had a large chopsticks cut into strips of pickled cabbage and put it in their bowl, which was pickles.
Pu Er found a place to squat down, mixed the pickles into the bowl with chopsticks, and then began to "purr" and "purr" to eat.
Soon, he licked the entire wooden bowl clean, and he didn't feel ashamed at all, because almost everyone was doing the same thing, and this bowl of pickles mixed with white porridge was the most delicious thing Pu Er had ever eaten in his life.
After eating, the soldiers who followed the Tang Dynasty washed the dishes and chopsticks in the sink next to them, although the water was very cold, but Pu Er washed it very seriously, because the Tang soldiers said that they would wash it.
After eating, all of them were brought together on a playground, in small groups of fifty people, all huddled together on a pile of hay.
And there was a Tang soldier standing in front of them, Pu Er didn't know what they were going to do, but he still sat honestly.
Until the soldier came over and said with a smile: "Today is mainly to tell you some rules of work, and teach you some things, and now I will teach you something very important, that is, weaving straw sandals." ”
Straw sandals? Pu Er was stunned for a moment, can you still weave shoes with grass?
"Because many of you have too worn shoes, the straw sandals I taught you to knit today can protect your feet when you have no shoes to wear, and play a certain role in keeping you warm!" The soldier took out a pair of straw sandals that had been braided from his outstretched hand.
Looking at the pair of straw sandals, Pu Er's eyes lit up.
