Chapter 17: Draw a circle
After the matter was done, Ren Baqian called home. Originally, it was half a dozen months, but this time it was more than a month.
There was a female voice on the other end of the phone, and after answering, she complained: "Do you still know to call back?"
Ren Baqian laughed dryly: "I've been busy lately, and I got a company with my friends, and I don't fall to the ground every day." ”
"What company??????
"I contributed technology, my friends contributed money, and I was favored by venture capital companies and invested some. "Ren 8,000 half-truths and half-truths.
It's much easier to explain VC to your parents than it is to explain black mud and pharmaceuticals.
Otherwise, the money in his pocket can't be explained.
After talking for a long time, it made her mother suspicious, and Ren Baqian said again: "I gave you 300,000 yuan in the card, you two should spend and play." ”
"What money to send me, your father and I are not lacking. The mother complained, but her son made 300,000 yuan, which is always a happy thing, indicating that the son has indeed made money. Relatives will not underestimate it in the future.
"Let's keep it for the wedding price for you and your brother. Mother said.
"I don't have to keep my bride price, I still have a lot of money here, and I haven't paid you all of it, and there are hundreds of thousands. If my brother has anything he likes, he should buy it for him. Ren Baqian said with a smile and chatted for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone in the words of his mother telling him not to spend money indiscriminately and save more money.
In the afternoon, Ren Baqian ran another lap.
The ten handymen worked very hard, and I said that I would never treat them badly if I did a good job, so I couldn't talk about it.
Reward money or anything is definitely not good.
Ren Baqian thought about it, let's get something to eat.
Goubangzi roast chicken, sauced beef, elbows, Ren Baqian found a store with the best reputation and bought a lot, enough for more than a dozen people to have a good meal.
The food in that world is still much worse than that of the earth, after all, there are not so many kinds of spices, and there are no recipes that have been continuously improved for generations or more than ten generations.
Ren Baqian estimated that the earth's food would allow the gang to lick their plates clean.
As for wine, Ren Baqian gave up this idea after thinking about it.
These foods are okay to say, you can say that you make your own. Wine is not something that can be made in a day or two.
When he went to bed at night, Ren Baqian tied two large bags of food to his body with ropes, and when he woke up again, he really appeared with himself in the room he had just been assigned to him.
I saw that it was already dark outside, and the light was already shining through the paper window.
Ren Baqian changed into coarse cloth clothes, put things and food away, pushed open the door and walked out.
The air is extremely fresh.
It's nice that the air hasn't been polluted.
Ren Baqian thought to himself that he would have to go back after staying here for three days, otherwise if he stayed for a long time, he didn't know if he would be able to adapt to all kinds of exhaust gases in YC City if he went back.
In this world, you go to bed early, wake up early, and at this time someone has already started to do laundry or something.
Ren Baqian went to the ice cellar and took a turn, and he could see that a third of it was already piled up.
This is still going to be supplied in the case of that white bear. It can be seen that these people are not lazy at all on the day they left.
However, the basin-shaped ice cubes are not easy to stack, and Ren Baqian is considering whether he should order a few cube boxes specifically for ice.
didn't stay long, many miscellaneous servants arrived, and they all greeted Ren Baqian one by one, so that Ren Baqian, who had never been a squad leader in Dalian since he was a child, and who had always been a passerby, felt very good.
They had to work for a while before they went to breakfast.
Ren Baqian asked, "Where do you go if you want to build something?"
"If it's metalwork, then get the White Rock District, where there are many workshops. Someone understood what Ren Baqian meant and said immediately.
"Is it troublesome to get out of the beast garden?"
"Say hello to the stone steward, and then take the note and go out. “
Ren Baqian nodded and said to everyone: "Do a good job, please have a good meal in the evening." ”
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, everyone's interest immediately soared.
Breakfast is vegetable porridge, which is mixed grains, and vegetables are cooked together, and the taste is not very good. But it's okay in this world, and the miscellaneous servants eat worse than that.
After eating, Ren Baqian found the stone steward: "Shi steward, I want to go out and build a few metal boxes." ”
"I'm going out to run some errands today, and if you're not in a hurry, come with me. "The stone steward said.
Ren Baqian smiled: "That's the best." ”
He didn't even know where the door was, let alone the so-called White Rock District. It's a good thing to have someone who knows the surrounding situation and knows the customs of the place to go out with you.
Otherwise, he doesn't know if he will offend other people's customs because he doesn't know, and he will be beaten up violently when the time comes.
After the stone steward finished dealing with the matter at hand, he changed into clothes with obvious cloth grades and pulled Ren Baqian out.
The Beast Garden is connected to the Imperial Palace, but the Beast Garden also has other exits, but it is guarded by a few soldiers.
Steward Shi flashed the sign on his waist and brought Ren Baqian out.
"The next time you come out by yourself, you have to use a slip, don't lose it, otherwise you won't be able to get in when the time comes. Steward Shi said to Ren Baqian.
"It's easier to get in and out than I thought. ”
"How else?"
"Why don't you have more guards, and the inspection is more cumbersome, right?
The stone steward laughed: "What's so troublesome, the beast garden belongs to His Majesty, who will go there if nothing happens."
The animal garden is a dirt road, with forests on both sides, and after walking for a distance, a residential area appears.
"This is where you live. Steward Shi pointed to the tall families on both sides and said to Ren Baqian.
didn't go far, Ren Baqian heard the noise in front of him, and saw two people fighting together.
Or rather, one person riding on another person and beating him.
Both of them are dressed in brocade clothes, and they don't seem to be ordinary people, and there are some people who seem to be watching the battle.
Steward Shi walked over with Ren Baqian, Ren Baqian kept turning his head to look, this was really a fist to the flesh, and he could clearly hear the sound of the fist falling on his face, and even he felt very painful.
"No one cares?" asked Ren Baqian.
"What's the matter? It's just a fight. Steward Shi understated.
"I don't see anyone going up to help?"
Of course, they are drawing circles, and if someone comes forward to intervene, it will be laughed at to death. "The stone steward said.
At the same time, he warned Ren Baqian: "If someone asks you to draw a circle, don't be afraid, beat him." Whether it is the people of the DPRK or the common people, it is a beating. ”
Ren Baqian thought about it for a long time, this circle may be the meaning of heads-up, according to the literal understanding, whoever is out of the circle of the two will lose.
"But even the lord of the court can beat him?" Ren Baqian said curiously.
"If he asks you to draw circles, of course you can. But you can't go to him to draw a circle, if that's the case, everyone in the DPRK and China will have to die of exhaustion. ”
Ren Baqian grinned, it seemed to be similar to the duel of some countries in ancient times.
If you provoke any of the big guys in the DPRK and China to find you to fight alone, you can fight back and beat him. And listening to the meaning of the stone steward, it seems that there is no need to worry about retaliation.
Comparing his body bones, all he sees these days are tall men and big horses, and big men who can run horses on their arms, and it is estimated that tying himself together is not enough for people to fight.
Looking at the street brawls in this world, Ren Baqian is seriously considering whether he should bring some electric baton anti-wolf spray and other self-defense.
"The lords of the court often find people to draw circles? For example, if you offend them, what will happen?"
"If you provoke them, you will only let the guards teach you a lesson. Unless the other party is also an adult in the court. ”
"Do the adults of the DPRK and China also draw circles with each other?" asked Ren Baqian curiously.
"Of course, there was a fight between the two ends in the Jinluan Hall for three days. A few days ago, the king and the general of Zhenbei were approved by His Majesty to draw circles on the palace wall, and at that time there were all people watching the battle, and some people went to occupy the place a day in advance. ”
Ren Baqian always felt awkward when he listened to this painting circle, but after listening to Steward Shi, he also had an intuitive understanding of Da Yao's fierce customs. Although he knew that Dayao was fierce when he was chatting when he was drinking before, he knew how strong he was after listening to what Steward Shi said.
can fight and brawl in the Jinluan Hall for three days, and the empress approves to fight alone on the palace wall, which makes people feel a toothache when they think about it.
Fortunately, it was on the palace wall, and there was no decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
