Chapter 300 Are you a carpenter?
"I often tell you that you must bring money when you go out. This is called the poor family's rich road. You all don't listen! The boss who hurts me loses face, and no one treats me as a freeloader!" Xiao Chen was stunned by others. He didn't dare to talk back, so he could only vent his anger on his brothers.
"Did you hear that! That's what you said!" Duan Ling'er yelled at Tie Kunlun, "You're still a wanderer, don't you know that going out to eat costs money?"
"Nonsense, when your brother and I were wandering around in the rivers and lakes, we used to rob all the way, don't stare at me, I also rob all the local tyrants, but I won't harm the common people." Tie Kunlun said.
"Then you go grab some money now and come back for us to eat meat." Duan Linger encouraged, "I see that there are many rich merchants here."
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll sell you for meat!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"If it doesn't work, I really want to grab some, or we'll have to sleep in Caodianzi at night." Fu Yan sighed, "Can't I pay for the hotel when I go back?"
This is really a penny that stumps a hero.
But what should I say, this uncle’s pancakes are really good, the outer layer is browned, the inner layer is soft, and it is crispy and fragrant after a bite, and there is a strong smell of butter.
The pickles are shredded, mixed with a little sesame oil and a little vinegar, it tastes salty, delicious and crispy.
The old man brought another big pot of steaming hot noodle soup, and several of them ate and drank with their heads down, sighing...it was delicious.
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Duan Ling'er ate two pancakes with such a small appetite, and a big bowl of noodle soup is still unsatisfactory.
"Everything tastes good when you're hungry! I see that you are all children of wealthy families, have you ever been hungry?" The old man came out after finishing his busy work, and sat on a wooden bench next to him, lit up a cigarette pouch and smoked it with a few People strike up small talk.
"Uncle, what's your surname? The accent seems to be from the right side of the mountain?" Xiao Chen ate two oil cakes and a big bowl of noodle soup, and felt that the pores all over his body were opened, and he was indescribably comfortable.
"Poor people, how dare you be called noble? My surname is Zhang, my humble name is Zhang Beishan, my hometown is in Yingzhou, Shanyou, a few years ago, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty beat the big man, and finally settled down for half a year. ...God is not open, there was a severe drought last year, and the imperial court was pressing for rent, and life can't go on, so I can only go out to find a living."
The common people don't care who is the emperor, and they don't care what you do in Tianxuanhui. Anyway, if you fight back and forth, it will be us poor people who will be unlucky in the end!
"Then why would you think of coming to Yanyun County, Yanyun County is not peaceful." Xiao Chen said.
"I went to Haining Bay..." Zhang Beishan narrowed his eyes and started talking.
He took his daughter and fled from the right side of the mountain. He heard from the people who fled along the way that Haining Bay was a big wharf, and no matter what he did there, he could always earn a living, so he went with the big guys.
Zhang Beishan used to be a cook in a rich man's house. He was good at cooking and he was honest and honest. He found a job as a cook on a wharf, and he and his daughter barely made ends meet.
It was a coincidence that a cook on a cargo ship that had just been loaded with goods and was ready to be shipped to Shunfeng Harbor fell ill. The owner of the ship saw that he was honest, honest and diligent, so he recruited him on board to be a cook. Men's clothing followed him to do odd jobs as his son.
Unexpectedly, Xiu'er accidentally exposed her daughter's body while on the boat, and the captain was very angry, because their rules of sailing at sea prohibit women.
When they arrived at Shunfeng Harbor, they drove the father and daughter off the boat.
Shunfeng Port belongs to the Ross people, and they are not allowed to stay there, and the owner of the ship refuses to let them board the ship. In desperation, they can only go to Changshan Prefecture.
In Changshan prefecture, I heard that there are many pedestrians and merchants on the road from Changshan to Bailong. Opening a small restaurant will surely make a living. The father and daughter discussed it and thought it would make sense, so they came here.
They came late, and the good places near the post station were all taken up, so they had to choose this relatively remote place.
But the business is still barely there, and I have made a little money in the past few days. No matter what I say, I finally have a place to live and work for the time being.
It's much better than wandering around.
"Uncle Zhang, the cakes you bake are so delicious and you have such a kind heart, your business will definitely flourish in the future!" Duan Linger said with a sweet mouth.
"Oh, I can borrow your auspicious words, but isn't that what opening a restaurant is like? As long as your food is good, people will always come. We dare not say how much money you make. As long as you get acquainted in the future, come back There are more old customers here, so making a living is not a problem." Zhang Beishan said with a chuckle.
"That's a must. If we don't go to other places, we will have dinner at your place!" Duan Linger said.
"Hmph, do you still want to come here for free?" Xiu'er expressed her disapproval.
"Miss sister, don't look down on people. In fact, we are all quite rich. We just forgot to bring it. Next time, we will definitely give you the money. Even this time, I will give you one piece. I really don't lie to you!" Duan Linger really didn't lie.
The boss is quite rich, if there is more, there are still several million taels of silver.
"Is there any cake, sister?" Xiao Ye asked cautiously, "I'm not full."
"Why are you so good at eating!" Xiu'er grinned when she heard this, she doesn't have a big appetite, you just ate too much!
"When the child grows up!" Zhang Beishan hurriedly said, "But the pancake noodles and butter are gone, go and get him some grain noodles."
"I'm afraid he'll die from it!" Xiu'er was sharp-tongued, but still kind-hearted, went in and ordered a large bowl of miscellaneous grain noodles, and served it to Xiao Ye.
It feels weird for this young man.
"Can you really eat it? Don't you feel overwhelmed? Why don't you have an ax attached? You are an apprentice carpenter? You see, our house is leaking from all sides, and it still sways when the wind is strong. I'm afraid we won't be able to get through it." What about Dong, can you help me repair it, can it be considered as food money?"
"I'm not a carpenter." Xiao Ye said honestly, "I don't know how to repair houses either, my brother can."
Xiao Ye is not talking nonsense, he really thinks that his brother Xiao Chen knows everything.
Say Xiao Chen will?
Of course he will.
Don't forget that he is a wide-caliber major in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation...
Let's put it this way, as long as the technology related to manufacturing, he knows a little bit.
"This house really won't survive the winter, you haven't laid the foundation stakes firmly." Unexpectedly, Fu Yan also understood.
"Your walls are made of broken wood, can you prevent air leakage? Get some glue and hay and paste it inside and outside to ensure warmth." Tie Kunlun is a person who has traveled the rivers and lakes, and he knows a little bit about everything.
"Well, fix it with a layer of triangular wooden stakes on the outside, and the house will be secure." Xiao Chen said, "Then let's help Uncle Zhang, we can't eat other people's pancakes for nothing."
"But it's absolutely forbidden, don't listen to Xiao Nizi's nonsense! How can I let the guests do this kind of rough work? I will find a warmer day and do it myself."
Zhang Beishan thought they were just talking casually, seeing a few people showing their arms and sleeves, they really wanted to do something, so he hurried forward to stop them.
