"Master, what are you doing? I'm helping you out."

Naruto put on an innocent look and said, "In this way, you can get more rice in the end..."

"Brat, who is your master and how did he teach you?

If you let me meet you, you have to talk about them. "

The old man directly cursed and said:

"There have been no rules for doing this since ancient times. If you do such indecent things, be careful of retribution!"

"No, is it that serious?"

Naruto pointed to the trading crowd and said: "Look at them, they are not all fighting for more things, and they are all red-faced. I just want to give less rice. Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course not."

The old man put on an educational expression and said:

"They are exchanging things for things. Naturally, they can argue about the price. Everyone has different prices for things in their hearts, so how to exchange them without arguing."

"But pounding rice is different. Tell me what's arguing about it."

The old man then pointed to the young man in front of him and said:

"People's rice is earned by a little bit, how much labor is sold, how much rice is pounded, everyone knows it, and it is absolutely impossible to fake it.

Besides, people come out to earn hard money in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, which is to help everyone.

You kid still looks unhappy, who are you? "

"Rules?" Naruto said with a dissatisfied look, "What rules?"

"Boy, old man, I will teach you to be good today."

The old man knocked the cigarette stick in his hand, looked at Naruto seriously and said:

"Anyone's money can be less, but the money of the poor must not be less.

Without them, let alone one-tenth of the rice, you can't even eat a grain of rice! "

Naruto listened quietly to the old man's teachings, although the words and words were very simple, but there was an extremely profound truth hidden behind them.

"Under the bitter man..."

The light in Naruto's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he muttered to himself: "Working..."

The uncle looked at Naruto who was muttering to himself, and thought that Naruto was afraid to speak because of shame, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking to Naruto.After waiting for a long time, it was finally Naruto's turn in line. The young man who was pounding rice wiped his sweat, then looked at Naruto, and said to the stone mortar in front of him, "Pour it down."

Naruto looked at the young man, and said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't bring any rice."

"Didn't you bring any rice?" The young man looked at Naruto in surprise and said, "Then why are you queuing up? To make fun of me?"

"I....."

Naruto looked at the mortar in front of him, thought for a while and said, "I want to pound rice too, can I try it?"

"Okay, I get it now..."

Hearing Naruto's words, the young man showed a clear expression on his face and said, "Is there a shortage of rice at home, do you want to come here to get some rice for the New Year?"

"Okay, I just want to take a rest too."

Unexpectedly, before Naruto's painting and calligraphy, the young man agreed without hesitation, and directly threw the wooden awl in his hand to Naruto and said, "You do it next, and I will do it when you get tired."

"Wait a moment."

Naruto caught the wooden cone, stepped forward to stop the young man and said, "Then how much commission should I give you?"

"Commission?" The young man looked at Naruto strangely and said, "What commission?"

Naruto explained: "I borrowed your tool to make money, how much should I give you, or this thing for pounding rice is not yours? How much did you rent it for?"

"rent?"

The young man looked at Naruto with a strange expression and said, "Whatever you rent, this thing is for public use in the village. Anyone can use it if they want, and you can get any share."

"public?"

Naruto looked at the young man in surprise, hesitated and said, "Then no one wants to buy it and rent it out to those who want to grind rice?"

"Buy it? Why buy this crap?"

The young man looked at Naruto with the eyes of a fool and said:

"This thing is a dead thing, and it doesn't know how to do it by itself. In the end, it still needs people to do the work. What's the difference from now?

If you buy it, do you still expect it to move by itself and pound rice for you? "

The young man's words are very simple, the logic sounds very simple, and there are many loopholes. Maybe the shrewd one sounds ridiculous to the ears of the businessman, just a fool who doesn't understand anything.

But these words exploded like thunder in Naruto's ears. In the simple words, there is a simple logic that directly points to people's hearts.

At the end of the day, the job is not for people to do it.

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the fog in Naruto's heart.

Seeing Naruto's silence for a long time, the young man said with some dissatisfaction, "I said, are you going to do it or not? Don't do it and don't delay my work."

Hearing the young man's words, Naruto reacted, nodded quickly and said, "I will do it, I will do it."

Then Naruto rolled up his sleeves and started pounding rice.

With Naruto's physique, things like pounding rice are not casual, he can do it for a month without feeling tired.

And the people waiting for the rice pounding in the back also consciously divided one-tenth of the meter after Naruto finished pounding the rice, and put it in the pocket that the young man gave to Naruto.

As time passed, Naruto never stopped working from morning to afternoon, and the young man who watched was stunned.

Moreover, Naruto's rice pounding efficiency is extremely high, and he quickly found the trick, and he started quickly and accurately. It didn't take much effort, and he was more proficient than the young professional rice pounder at the side.

Others need hundreds of pounding to finish the rice, but Naruto can finish it with dozens of pounding.

People in the surrounding market also gradually stopped, and began to concentrate on watching Naruto pound the rice, exclaiming from time to time.

This speed, this stamina, really no one else, what to eat to grow up.

There are also many aunts and uncles whose eyes lit up when they saw Naruto working, and suddenly thought of their unmarried daughter. If this young man comes to the house, one can support three strong laborers, and he will make money without losing money. .

But the villain who didn't have an unmarried daughter in the house reacted suddenly and ran home, wanting to bring all the rice in the house to Naruto.

It's a pity not to use such a good animal.

The rice pocket next to Naruto also grew bigger and more bulging until the last pocket couldn't hold it, so he had to find someone to ask for a new one.

Finally, when the sun was setting, Naruto finished the work of pounding the rice, not because he was tired, but because there was no one else who needed to pound the rice. Naruto finished the rice that would have taken three days to finish in one day.

And Naruto's harvest for this day is two big white bags of rice next to him.

"I'll be good, I'm really convinced."

The young man on the side saw Naruto from the beginning to the end, with an expression of admiration on his face, he gave Naruto a thumbs up and said, "The landlord's donkey is not as capable as you."

"you flatter me."

Naruto smiled shyly, then paused, looked at the young man hesitantly and said in admiration, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" The young man looked at Naruto strangely and said, "Why are you angry?"

"I stole your job." Naruto pointed to the two pockets of rice beside him and said, "Originally these should belong to you."

"How could this be mine? You were the one who worked hard the whole time, but I didn't do anything."

The young man looked at Naruto like a fool and said:

"Whoever contributes the rice will get it, don't you understand this?"

"Um... why don't you take the rice away." Naruto looked at the young man with some embarrassment, "It's useless if I want so much rice."

"Don't, don't."

Faced with others wanting to give him rice for free, the young man encountered some savage beast, his head shook like a rattle, he took a few steps back and said:

"I don't care if you use the rice or not, but you earned it with your hard work. No one can take it. If you take it, you will be struck by lightning!"

After all, the young man saw that it was getting late, so he greeted Naruto, picked up his own rice and left.

Naruto looked at the back of the young man leaving, and looked at the two big bags of white rice in front of him, and gradually felt a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds and mists in his heart.

Naruto thought that he would spend a lot of time, think hard, and consult many people to find the answer.

But now he suddenly discovered that the biggest and best truth in this world is actually hidden in the simplest life, hidden among thousands of laborers.

They may not have so many gorgeous rhetoric to embellish their words, nor can they explain clearly.

But it is precisely such words that can touch people's hearts the most, can most directly reflect the essence of the world, and can also make people recognize and believe from the bottom of their hearts.

Whoever puts in the effort and gets the rice, this sentence is better than countless subtle truths.

Naruto grabbed a handful of white rice, put it under his nose to smell the rice, and then put it in his mouth to chew carefully, with a joyful expression on his face

This is what he earned today, with his own strength.

There is no exploitation, no intrigue, no confrontation, and everyone willingly pays themselves because they feel they deserve it.

Naruto is very happy at this moment, not only because he feels that he wants to understand something, but also because he feels a kind of real happiness.

That is the joy of labor, the simplest and greatest joy in this world.

"Hahahahahaha...hahahahahahaha!"

Naruto ate the rice, and suddenly started laughing, the laughter was full of joy and chic.

At this moment, he felt extremely relaxed and extremely satisfied. His heart, which was originally full of fog, was now brightened.

"Hahahahahaha!

That's it...that's it!

I understand! ! ! "

Naruto suddenly let out a long cry, and saw a sudden change in the sky above, a blue air column suddenly rose from the ground, pierced into the sky, and smashed all the white clouds floating in the sky.

After the blue air column appeared, it rushed towards the sky, as if it wanted to poke a hole in the sky.

The moment the cyan pillar of air appeared, Naruto was so blessed that he swung his sleeves violently, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up around him.

The strength of this breeze is as gentle as a spring breeze, but the speed of its spread is as violent as a thousand riders rolling Hiraoka, sweeping across the earth and sky for thousands of miles in an instant.
