Chapter 62 Snow Shoveling
After lunch, Qiao Yun came to the front shop.

I haven't opened the door for a long time, and there is a smell of dust in the room.Qiao Yun rolled up her sleeves and wiped all the tables, chairs, benches, and counter shelves in the store. Taking advantage of the damp everywhere, Qiao Yun opened the door of the store to let the air out.

The sun fell on the door panels, window lattices and Qiao Yun's body. The long-lost sun made Qiao Yun stand at the door of the shop and stretch.

The sound of snow shoveling came from the street not far away.

Out of curiosity, Qiao Yun walked to the street with her sleeves rolled up, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a clerk in the yamen leading a group of yamen servants to shovel snow.

Some of these yamen servants honestly shovel a shovel of snow and throw it to the side, and some use the shovel in their hands as a bulldozer, pushing the shovel from one end of the road to the other end of the road at a trot...

Qiao Yun watched with relish.

The middle-aged man in a black round-neck robe and a sash belt stood at the intersection, with his hips akimbo commanding the group of yamen servants in a dignified manner, spit flying all over the place.

"Look at each of you, each of you has a round body after going back to celebrate the new year! Don't blame me for letting you go out to shovel snow on the second day of the new year. If you don't exercise your muscles and bones, you will be out of breath if you catch a thief later!"

"Don't think about being lazy! Who knows which section of the street is shoveling! Tomorrow, the folks will go out to visit relatives and friends. Let me hear that someone slipped and fell on the road. skin!"

While talking, he saw Qiao Yun watching the fun by the side of the road.

"Which girl are you from? Why are you standing here alone?"

Qiao Yun smiled, stretched out her hand from her sleeve, pointed to the alley, and said very familiarly: "My family runs a restaurant in it, I don't hear that the official sent you to bring people here to shovel snow, so come and see It’s lively and basking in the sun. It’s been cloudy these days, but it’s a sunny day for people to come out to breathe.”

"Hey! I can't afford to be called an official servant. My surname is Tang, and I'm good at home. You can just call me Tang Dalang." The man obviously liked the term official servant, but he didn't dare to pretend to be the title.He pointed to the alley, and smiled at Qiao Yun: "Stay away from here, don't stand so close. Look at the shovels swinging one by one, and be careful not to touch you."

"Thank you for reminding me." Qiao Yun took half a step back after hearing this, and continued to chat with him.Getting acquainted with this kind of low-level government officials will benefit greatly in the future.Not to mention anything else, I will be polite when paying taxes in the future.Qiao Yun, who was well aware of this, naturally poured out the good things in her stomach like she didn't want money.

"It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you brought people out to shovel snow. After all, it's for the benefit of the folks in our county. It's really hard work for you."

"Anyway, they are idle in the yamen, so they might as well come out to warm up. You boy, what are you looking at? How can you shovel snow for a few more streets with this little lady here? Keep your eyes open! Look! Look at your shovel, there are so many leaks, those who don’t know it think you’re holding a rake!”

In the middle of Bantou Tang's speech, he realized that a young man was attracted by the watery Qiao Yun and missed several shovels of snow.

"His Majesty Meng Xian is kind enough, these bastards have their salaries anyway. Since they got the money, they should work harder, otherwise why would the lazy court support them?"

"Could it be that these gentlemen didn't offer money before?" Qiao Yun was stunned and asked in surprise.

"You don't know about that! Our yamen servants are all errands called by the yamen themselves. In the past, the imperial court did not pay salaries. That is to say, there is a wharf in Quwo County, which makes money, and the county master is a good official. Use the revenue from the county to subsidize the brothers. In other poor counties, these brothers can do anything to make a living! After the first emperor ascended the throne, the first important thing he did was to register with the yamen servants in various places Books are made, and the imperial court specially allocates funds for payment, so our life will be better."

Qiao Yun nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the yamen servants in the Tang Dynasty were called bad people. Their status was really low and they were not regarded as officials.In order to make ends meet, he had to collude with the officials, or create unjust, false and wrong cases, or extort money from the common people, and he was not welcome among the common people.

When I watched a certain domestic animation, I thought this title was cool, but now I know it is not a good word after experiencing it firsthand.

No matter how prosperous the world is, there will be such a shadow.This is the limitation of the ancient production relations.Qiao Yun felt more and more that it was great to be able to live in the modern age in her previous life.

It's a pity that she crossed over.

Although she is a merchant and has saved a little money, she is essentially the same as this group of people.

"I see that the snow on the street over there has been shoveled. I'm afraid we have to get up early? Have you guys eaten?"

"It's not very early either. I only got up to shovel at the beginning of the year. There is still half a county left, and there is no need to rest at noon. I finish shoveling early and stop work early, and I will treat them to dinner in the evening."

Good guy, Qiao Yun called him a good guy.

A total of fifteen people shoveled the streets of half the county in one morning?This team really uses these yamen servants as their messengers!

The group of yamen servants were all panting, exhaling clouds of white smoke, and the thick water vapor even reflected some colorful colors in the sunlight.Everyone was sweating on their foreheads, but their fingers were red from the cold, and some had chilblains on their hands, bruised and purple and bleeding pus.

It's tiring, but the expressions on the faces of this group of young people are full of joy.

Also, who would want to make himself notorious in front of the neighbors if he could do good things for the folks?

Qiao Yun couldn't bear it, and wanted to do a good deed, so she said: "Since there is still half a county left, why don't you gentlemen take a rest and move to the shop, and my family will invite everyone to eat a bowl of hot wontons to keep warm." Do you continue to shovel your body?"

"This...isn't right?" Bantou Tang hesitated a little, "Your family must also rely on selling wontons for a living, and these ten or so people can eat each and every one of them, if you let your adults know that you are doing such a big favor , carefully your ass is blooming."

"No problem!" Qiao Yun made a gesture of invitation with a smile, "My wontons are big and have a lot of meat! A bowl of wontons with soup and water, and some mung bean vermicelli, it is warm and full. Brothers Now, how many bowls can one person eat? Don’t worry, I can afford this meal of wontons.”

The yamen servants who had been hungry all morning heard the word "wonton", and stopped shoveling snow one by one. Instead, they put their shovels and shovels on the ground as walking sticks, their eyes glowed green, and they stared straight at Bantou Tang.

Someone yelled: "Boss! This little lady sincerely invites you, so don't shame her!"

"That's right, boss, you said that there will be good food and wine in the evening, but I'm afraid I'll starve and faint here before evening!"

Bantou Tang scolded with a smile: "Look at how promising you are! It's just a wonton. Which one of you hasn't eaten it?"

Turning around, he crossed his hands respectfully to Qiao Yun: "Then I'll brazenly lead my brothers to bother you!"
