Villager of Daming

Chapter 144 Take the book and walk away You Xiaocao (fourth more)
The morning sun shone on the paper window, and the temperature in the room rose accordingly. Zhu Wentian sat up and sighed: "It's not cool at night! I need air conditioning, I want air conditioning."

He muttered, wet the towel in the basin next to him, wiped the sweat off his body, brushed his teeth again, washed his hair in the afternoon, and dried it after a while in hot weather.

The children got up one after another, dealt with their physical and hygiene problems, and started their morning reading, reciting three hundred thousand.

After memorizing these, I will recite the multiplication and addition and abacus formulas, and have breakfast after the end.

Living in Fuhua Building, everyone does not cook breakfast by themselves, and some craftsmen who sleep in the open air next door also send porridge, steamed stuffed buns, and pickles.

When the craftsman came over yesterday afternoon, his expression was blank, so let's do what the court arranges!That's it.

As a result, after a meal delivered by Fuhualou in the evening, they thought their lives were different.

So when the children finished buying vegetables and went to prepare lunch boxes, the artisans were working hard. They ate the porridge and steamed buns as quickly as possible, and rushed to work while the sun was not high.

"Their fish is too expensive to sell, so they want to make box lunches?"

The little girl is in charge of bringing a few friends to buy fish, and she thinks it is expensive.

It doesn’t cost money to eat fish in Xiaqiu Village. There are rivers, lakes, and rivers nearby. The key is to have experienced fishermen and the good nets of Brother Hanhan.

"For the craftsmen to eat, how much does it cost to make a box lunch with fish? It would be good to throw a few fish in a big pot and make a soup."

The village chief didn't want to lose money selling boxed lunches, the capital was not enough, there had to be a profit.

He understands human nature, some people are not grateful, even if you give him food for nothing, he will say you are not good, and wish you could give him money instead.

Xiaqiu Village can use the money earned from selling boxed meals to repair bridges and repair roads, which is different from giving away things for free.

Of course, it depends on what kind of person the other party is. If there is a moment of difficulty, if you help, the other party can remember it in your heart.

"Then make it braised in soy sauce! Fish soup is used for box lunch." The little girl said and led someone to make a big pot of rice.

Zhu Wentian is in charge of kneading the noodles. There is no pasta in the lunch box, which is expensive, and they are all indica rice from last year or the year before.

New rice is delicious, but less rice will come out when cooking, while old rice is dry, add more water, and more rice will come out.

At this time, Zhu Taiyi went to the head of the village: "Head of the village, I heard that His Majesty arranged to promote the promotion of drying salt today. Do you think there are other things besides this?"

"The palace agrees?" The head of the village directly ignored the word 'heard'.

"Why don't you do something that benefits the country and the people? Today's sage is not ordinary."

Zhu Taiyi took the task and asked if there was anything else, so he took it out quickly, otherwise we would go back and waste time.

Li Chang stretched his hand into his bosom, and took out Hanhan's second test book: "I have a test book here that conflicts with the sea ban, I don't know..."

"I know, give it to me, okay, I have something to go first." Mrs. Zhu made a quick move, and ran away after grabbing it.

Whether there is a sea ban conflict or not, it has nothing to do with me. My mission has been completed.

……

At the second quarter of the clock, people who want to eat boxed lunches began to enter. There were not many people, and more people were working, so they couldn't come ahead of time.

The craftsmen dispatched by the imperial court stopped working, and the construction environment was too noisy, which affected the guests to eat, and they also ate by the way.

As time passed, more and more people came, and by noon, the seats were full.

Fortunately, the place for the shed is divided into two parts, 120 square meters, and more tables and stools, long tables and benches can be placed, and the space utilization rate is high.

"Three Wen." A man with a big arm and a round waist handed over three Wen.

The kid who waited for vegetables glanced at him, didn't give him a bowl, and put the rice on the tray twice, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took it away.

The person behind him showed a puzzled look, and shook his head again: "Five Wen, buy more meat and vegetables."

"Okay!" The child really gave more beatings, anyway, the meat dishes are also vegetables plus shredded pork and sliced ​​meat.

For box lunch dishes, you can’t find all-meat dishes such as braised pork, pot-packed pork, and simmered pork.

The shredded pork looks thick, while the sliced ​​meat looks thick. In fact, the meat is thin and thin when it is cut. When the starch is caught and fried, it swells.

This is lean meat. Now lean meat is not as valuable as fat meat, but not all dishes are suitable for cooking with fat meat.

When the children bought meat, the other party gave a pile of water, bones, and pig's trotters.

The pig's head is not given away, and the meat on the pig's head is quite fat. The key point can be used to put on the case for ceremonies.

Those who buy boxed lunch will not eat the water, they will feel bad when they see it, and the village keeps it for themselves.

Occasionally, someone would pay ten cents and bring their own wine, and a few of them sat down at the special square table over there, eating and drinking slowly.

This belongs to smart people, four people forty penny, so many dishes to choose from, there are few dishes elsewhere.

The others, like yesterday, came late and had no place to sit, so they carried trays to find a place to squat to eat.

There is a place upstairs but it is not open, it is prepared for people who eat a la carte, although no one has ever ordered it.

"Grass? It's grass." Some craftsmen who vacated a place to eat at the nearby construction site greeted the cooks more.

"Fourth Uncle, are you here?" The little grass looked around with the food, and took two steps over there.

"Come, sit here, chief, this is my nephew, dear nephew." The craftsman stood up and called to the chief who was strolling.

The head of the village came over: "Yo! My family! Come on, sit here, Master Yu, if you had come early yesterday, you would have met."

He patted the strong grass arm and motioned to sit down.

The people next to him gave way, and Xiaocao sat down cautiously: "Fourth Uncle, when did you come?"

"Didn't you hear what the village chief said, yesterday, I came after you left after eating, what's the matter with your meal..."

Craftsman Yu and master Yu saw at a glance that his nephew's rice was not in the bowl, and the bowl was missing?
"The bowl couldn't fit, they gave me more. I didn't eat enough yesterday, so I said I came early and asked for a piece of salted tofu, but they directly gave me more than half a bowl of rice, salted tofu, and soup. I brought them water. The tank is full."

Xiaocao blushed when she told what happened yesterday.

"It's just right to carry water. He is benevolent and righteous. We can't take it as our duty. For food, this is braised carp. Pick whichever you like."

Master Yu said to his nephew, and then to the head of the village: "My sister's child, surnamed Du, Du Xiaocao, is capable. My sister is ill, and he looks around for more lucrative jobs.

My brother-in-law has three children in his family. He is the eldest, and he has a younger brother and younger sister. The family lives outside the city with only four acres of land. "

"Illness... have you seen it?" The chief didn't care about what to eat, but cared about this young but strong boy.

"The Huimin Pharmacy Bureau showed me the medicine that was given for nothing. It was said that the medicine was prescribed for lack of energy and blood. What kind of medicine is that?"

"Huangqi Baizhu Decoction, it's not very good to drink, but I haven't fainted, and I still can't exert my strength." Xiaocao's eyes were red.

"It'll be fine, it'll be fine, Huimin Pharmacy... eat first, work hard when you're full, and earn money to buy things for your mother."

Li Chang can now pat Xiaocao's shoulder, he was standing too high just now.
