The rise of the poor

Chapter 865

Zhu remembers that when he started cooking, the smell of marinated meat filled the city.

Qihuamen Wharf is not far from Zhuji, and they are the first to smell the aroma of stewed meat.

At the beginning, it was only the sharp-nosed people like Erniu and Erlian who smelled the mouth-watering smell of meat. Slowly, as the smell of stewed meat became stronger and stronger, all the hard workers on the pier smelled it. Meaty aroma.

Although the greedy person was drooling, under the stimulation of the smell of meat, all the cells in the whole body were excited, as if the two veins of Ren and Du had been opened by a martial arts master, and the whole body was full of strength.

One two one
One two one
Come and go
Sweat like rain
It didn't take any encouragement from the foreman, and the laborers quickly removed the whole boat of porcelain.

Every time the Lifus carry a box of porcelain, they will receive a bamboo stick. Finally, the foreman will settle the wages according to the number of bamboo sticks of the Lifus.

After confirming that there was no defect in the porcelain, the housekeeper accompanying the cargo ship readily handed over the wages to the foreman surnamed Liu.

"Don't squeeze, come one by one."

The foreman surnamed Liu stood on a pile of bricks at the pier, maintaining order while distributing the wages of the morning to the laborers according to the bamboo sticks in their hands.

"Okay, it's all over. You are doing a good job, and I keep my word. Let's go, let's go to the restaurants in the world, and I invite you to drink. Open your belly and drink. How much you drink will be on my head. "

After the worker surnamed Liu paid his wages, he jumped off the brick pile, patted his chest and shouted to the crowd.

"Okay!!! Liu Tou is so grand."

"Liu's head is still open."

"Liu is angry."

The crowd burst into applause and cheers.

After working all morning and sweating all over, we went to Sihai Restaurant to order two dishes and drink two bowls of wine. It's not too beautiful.

For a long while, the sensual smell of meat wafting in the air above the pier stimulated their taste buds. If they didn’t go to Da Ya Ji Ji Ji Wu Zang Temple, the gluttons in their stomachs could tear down Wu Zang Temple.

Although the Four Seas restaurant is extremely expensive, but there are so many people, seven or eight people at a table contribute to order five or six dishes, and the average price is about twenty or thirty yuan per person, which is within the acceptable range.

Although Sihai restaurants sometimes look down on people with dog eyes, and sometimes the dishes they cook are too salty or too bland, but no matter what, the dishes made by their cooks are much more delicious than those made by their mother-in-law. Put oil, unlike the mother-in-law at home, there is no oily smell in a dish.

The point is, the drink is free, and the foreman covers all the drink.

Those who work hard, who doesn't like to drink a few sips.

But usually I am willing to drink.

A table of seven or eight people, at least two buckets of wine, three or four hundred cash for one bucket of wine, and six to seven hundred cash for two buckets of wine.If the foreman hadn't paid for the drink, everyone would have lost a hundred cents.

This is true.

Ancient baijiu was not cheap, as can be seen from the poet's poems.

Li Bai: "Golden bottle of sake is worth ten thousand dollars, and jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars"; Wang Wei: "Xinfeng fine wine is worth ten thousand dollars, how many years have you been a knight in Xianyang"; owed three years".

Of course, it is also possible that Li Bai, Wang Wei, and Bai Juyi were rich and handsome in ancient times, with high consumption levels, and the wine they drank was all good wine.

Compared with them, Du Fu, who "the wind howled in August and autumn, rolled up the three-fold grass on my house", can be regarded as a proletarian, and he is closest to the life of ordinary people.Du Fu wrote a poem "Forcing Sidewalks to Give Bi Siyao", in which he wrote: "The price of wine on the street is often bitter and expensive, and people outside the party rarely sleep drunk. Su Yixiang just drinks a bucket, which is exactly three hundred bronze coins .”

Three hundred yuan for a bucket of wine, which is about the same price as the cheapest shochu in restaurants all over the world, which shows that ancient wine was expensive.

That's why everyone was so excited when the foreman surnamed Liu invited him to drink.

"Hehe, let's go to the Four Seas Restaurant." The foreman surnamed Liu smiled heartily, and walked towards the Four Seas Restaurant first.

"Walk."

"Let's go, the twice-cooked pork at Sihai Restaurant was delicious last time, and I'm going to order another dish today."

Everyone agreed for a while.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.

"Ahem, Liu Tou, er, er, I won't go to Sihai Restaurant this time."

The voice was not loud, but it was unusually obvious amidst the echoing voices.

Who is it?

If someone invites you to drink and refuses to go, are you stupid? !I don't even take advantage of a hundred pennies, is my head flooded? !

Everyone turned their heads to look at the speaker, curious to see who the idiot who refused to go was.

swish

Dozens of eyes all focused on the speaker.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the fat-headed and big-eared fool scratched the back of his head with his big hand like a cattail fan, causing the flesh on his fat face to tremble.

"Idiot?!"

"Aren't I dazzled, the one who spoke just now turned out to be an idiot?"

"You idiot, aren't you sick?"

When everyone saw the speaker, they cried out in surprise. This idiot is usually the most greedy. You can tell by his size, and he is easy to take advantage of, and he is more addicted to alcohol than anyone else.Don't talk about inviting him to drink on weekdays, if someone in the eight villages in the neighborhood has weddings and weddings, these two idiots have the cheek to go without inviting them, and they just eat and drink when they go up.

But today Liutou invites you to drink, and this fool doesn't go? !
Could it be that the sun came out from the west? !Everyone was stunned, they kept their mouths open for a long time before recovering.

"Ahem, that, Liu Tou, I won't go to the Four Seas Restaurant today either."

Just when everyone was surprised that Erlangzi didn't go to Sihai Restaurant, they heard a loud voice.

Uh?
Another one? !

What happened today? Everyone looked at the source of the sound again in surprise, their eyes opened wider and their mouths opened wider.

Iron pillar? !
Tie Zhu didn't even go, isn't it true? Tie Zhu is a bachelor, he can eat enough for himself and the whole family is not hungry. Incomparably, one person can work better than the others, but his pockets are always cleaner than his face, because he spends all the money he earns on eating meat and drinking.

But today, Liu Tou invited everyone to drink at Sihai Restaurant, but Tie Zhu didn't go? !He had never been left behind before! ! !
"Ahem, I'm not going either."

"And I."

"Me too."

When Tie Zhu was so surprised that everyone couldn't be more surprised, they heard four or five voices expressing their refusal to go out one after another.

Ok!

Everyone was numb with surprise.

what is it today?
Usually, Liu Tou invites you to drink, and everyone is very active, and no one is left behind.But today there are six or seven people who don't go? !
