Chapter 424: Making a living on your own(1/2)

The sun rises from behind the mountains, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning wakes up the city of Yanjing.

The quiet town soon became noisy.

The recent city of Yanjing is more than ten times more lively than before.

It had just dawned, and the streets were already crowded with people.

There were all kinds of hawking and noisy sounds everywhere.

"Wontons, hot wontons."

"A bowl of soup cake costs five cents."

As more and more people came to Yanjing to work, some smart people began to do small businesses.

There are too many projects in Yanjing. In order to keep up with the progress, no matter which chamber of commerce, there will never be enough manpower.

In this case, the price of labor is naturally rising.

When working people have money, they will naturally be more generous in their spending.

Therefore, all kinds of hawkers came into being.

The whole city is full of lively atmosphere.

Zhao Da is also one of these many living beings.

At this time, he was eating at a stall selling soup cakes under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

The reason why so many people are watching.

One of the biggest reasons is that this guy Zhao Da is really good at eating.

Today's small traders are all about making small profits but quick turnover.

After all, those who can come to eat at their place are basically those who work hard like Zhao Da.

The taste can be slightly worse, but if the portion is not enough and you are not full, then no one will come to eat at their place.

There are many people around, and they usually consider themselves big-bellied.

Even so, when eating soup cakes at this restaurant, you can only eat two or three bowls at most.

But this Zhao Da has now eaten six bowls of soup cakes and still has no intention of stopping.

"I bet ten cents that he can eat up to seven bowls of soup cakes."

"When I look at you, it's your first time meeting Zhao Da for dinner. Isn't it obvious that you are giving us money? I bet you ten bowls."

"I bet eleven bowls. It is said that Zhao Da worked until midnight yesterday. He consumed so much yesterday that he must have eaten a lot today."

"Nonsense, this bowl is enough for one person. No matter how tired I am, I can't eat that much more. I'm afraid it will kill me. I also think today is ten bowls, so I pay five cents."

Many people around were joining in the fun and actually started gambling games.

These people are relatively restrained, and usually only have three or five pennies.

They would have been reluctant to exchange this money before. But now it is too easy to find a job in Yanjing, and no matter what you do, you can make a lot of money.

There are many people who don't pay much attention to those who have three or five cents.

Just as they were placing their bets, the boss had already brought Zhao Da three more bowls of noodles.

Afterwards, I wiped my sweat and watched Zhao Da eating soup cakes with a smile.

Of course he was happy. Zhao Da alone probably accounted for more than half of the turnover today.

Moreover, it is estimated that any cook will gradually feel a sense of accomplishment when watching Zhao Da eat.

It's so fragrant.

I saw Zhao Da picking up a bowl of soup cake and stirring it quickly with a kuai while blowing on it.

When he felt that it was almost cold, he put the bowl to his mouth and quickly picked up the soup cake.

Suck, suck.

It takes less than two breaths before and after.

When Zhao Da put the bowl down again, all the soup cakes that night had disappeared.

Wow.

The people watching Zhao Da made a soft noise at the same time.

It's not like they haven't seen people eating fast.

We are all lowly people, and no one is necessarily better than Zhao Da when it comes to eating.

But the problem is.

This guy Zhao Da has already eaten seven bowls of noodles before.

If it were them, even if they didn't survive, they probably wouldn't be able to eat anything now, right?

Zhao Da ate three more bowls of soup cakes in one breath, and then patted his belly: "Boss, give me three more bowls of soup cakes."

The people watching the excitement all around exclaimed in surprise.

"I still want to eat. How much can this guy eat?"

“I’ve always heard people talk about people being lazy, but today I’ve really seen what real lazy people are like.”

The soup cake seller did not move, but hesitated and said: "Zhao Da, can you really still eat it? Don't accidentally burst your belly."

"If you really don't have enough, I will give you another bowl, just like usual. Don't insist on it just for the so-called face."

The soup cake seller was obviously afraid that Zhao Daqing, who was young and energetic, would lose his temper after being watched by so many people.

It's not a big deal for those who watch the fun.

Someone jokingly said: "You are such a clueless boss. If someone wants to eat, just let him eat. What does it have to do with you?"

"This is the first time I've heard that food sellers are afraid of what other people eat."

Zhao Da touched his belly and laughed: "Uncle, don't worry. I know how much I can eat, and I'm not forcing it on anyone."

"I have never been full before. Later, when I came to our Yanjing City, I finally knew what it felt like to be full, so I ate a little more."

Everyone around was speechless. Do you call this eating too much?

That's the amount of food.

Not to mention ordinary people, even a slightly wealthy family would probably be destitute by this guy who was reincarnated as a starving ghost.

The boss looked at Zhao Da carefully for a while and saw that his expression was as usual and did not look like he was trying to force himself on, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

I worked hard for a while when I returned to my stall, and soon made three more bowls of soup cakes.

Put it in front of Zhao Da's eyes.

This time, many people watching Zhao Da eat became nervous.

Not because of anything else, but because they made the bet.

Zhao Da didn't even eat a bowl of noodles, so many people who had placed bets were shocked and depressed.

I was shocked that Zhao Da could eat, and was depressed that I had lost the money for a breakfast.

Finally, Zhao Da had enough to eat and drink.

After putting down the money, I left with satisfaction and went to work.

It was only then that the others reacted, and they were about to start working on their side.

I finished the food I ordered in a few mouthfuls, and then rushed to the construction site as quickly as possible.

Although the work on these construction sites is hard, they are very happy doing it.

Because the income from these jobs is much more than what they used to do when they were farming with their backs to the sky.

The people of China are the most hardworking people in the world.

As long as they can create wealth with their own hands, they will never know what fatigue is.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But today, I don’t know what happened.

When Zhao Da came out of the construction site, he found that there were no people coming and going at the gate of the construction site as before.

Instead, he was surrounded by a large group of people.

Zhao Da knew some of the people surrounding the entrance of the construction site because they all worked with him.

Zhao Da stopped a familiar guy and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Everyone is not working, so what are you doing around here?"

The person who was stopped by Zhao Da looked anxious: "What kind of work are you doing? We have no work to do now."

Zhao Da was even more excited than him. He directly took the man's arm, lifted him into the air, and asked sternly: "Why don't you let me work?"

"If there is no work, then I won't have money to earn, and I won't have enough to eat?"

The guy who was lifted into the air by Zhao Da felt that his arm was about to be broken.

He explained with difficulty: "Zhao Da, it's not that I don't let you work, but the bosses who recruit workers don't let us work."
