Chapter 185 The Little Beggar Who Grabbed Meat
"Brother Bai, the brothers have all arranged it in the Datong shop. I asked the shopkeeper to clean the room and replace the bedding with new ones..."
The person in charge is Jimao. Because the last time the incident was too big, he was likely to be retaliated by others, so he is often with Qin Bai. However, Jimao is very careful in doing things and arranged in an orderly manner along the way. This has saved Qin Bai a lot of worry. You can't expect that third brother of the rice dumpling, right?
"Tonight, arrange a fish, a bowl of meat, a jar of wine, and a tofu for each table." Qin Bai ordered, "A few people who are not suitable for the environment and go to the doctor. hiring two more big cars, and let the elderly and children take the bus tomorrow."
“Hey.”
When you go out, so many people cannot ask too much. You can only find a big car shop for accommodation. Fortunately, there are many hotels in this era, and dozens of people can sleep together. However, you can pay attention to the food and try to arrange some good dishes and wine.
However, an accident happened during supper.
So many people gathered together to eat and drink, so a few little beggars were caught in. They were so greedy that they grabbed a bowl of braised pork and ran away. When they were caught, the big sea bowl had already been licked, stuffing their mouths with oil.
The little beggars were sent to Qin Bai and they all knelt on the ground honestly. What made Qin Bai strange was that the others were all panicked with their heads down, but the little beggar in the lead looked indifferent and peeked at Qin Bai from time to time.
Qin Bai was not ready to worry about it. He knew that life was difficult, and he had begged with Qin Gao when he was a child. But when he saw the little beggar's appearance, he felt funny and immediately became interested. "Haha, what's the name? Are you brave?"
"Young master, my name is Xiaoyu. Being caught is considered unlucky. Isn't it just a beating? But please, you are kind-hearted. Is this idea made by me. If you want to kill or cut, come to me!" This little beggar named "Xiaoyu" is completely like a dead pig and not afraid of boiling water.
"Haha?" Qin Bai was happy. He temporarily put the little beggars aside and first deal with the people who had the braised pork snatched away. "Do you guys still have the face? You can't even see the bowl of meat? How do you practice it normally? Don't you have any precautions?"
The man at the table was quite aggrieved, "Master Bai, we are just kind-hearted. Seeing these little bastards are pitiful, I didn't drive them away. But they were so cruel and actually snatched the things on our table?"
When laughter rang out, Qin Bai didn't say nonsense to them, "I won't deduct your money, I can arrange a bowl of meat later. But you should know the rules? Exercise for 10 days and recognize 100 new words within 10 days."
"Oh my God!" complaints rang out, "Master Bai Er, we will recognize it after practicing for 10 days. Isn't this free learning of characters? We are not that material at all, so we would rather be cut by someone!"
"Haha, aren't you even afraid of being chopped down? Are you still afraid of reading and writing?" Qin Bai sneered.
"It's really not possible! How about practicing for 20 days? Please, Mr. Bai!"
"Get out!"
“…”
Finally, all the gangsters were driven out, and Qin Bai returned to the little beggars, "Did you hear it? We have rules here. Tell me yourself, according to the rules of the world, how should we punish people steal things?"
This time, even Xiaoyu's face changed. According to the rules of the world, stealing can be cut at the very least, and at the worst, it can be cut at the fingers. But in fact, few people will do this, at most, they will catch the fat and beat it up.
Unexpectedly, he met such a cruel person. The little beggars were so scared that they burst into tears. Xiaoyu stared at Qin Bai resentfully, and finally begged for mercy in his tone. "Young master, let us have a way out? We just ate a few pieces of meat."
Since he had begged for mercy, Qin Bai didn't care. He smiled and called some food to let these little beggars eat their fill first. Qin Bai asked about their experiences casually.
Unexpectedly, these little beggars also caused disaster victims in winter. Although this small civil rebellion may have only been written in the court's memorials, and they will not even be recorded in history books, their impact on the surrounding areas is quite powerful.
At least when the mountain gate was opened, so many new gangs came; Laizhou City also used labor for relief and recruited many migrant workers; even the salt gang was affected and was disturbed by sight, so Yangzhou salt merchants took the opportunity to uproot the roots. I heard that even the gangsters were much more lively.
However, for these orphans, this was a catastrophe. So Qin Bai smiled and asked, "Are you interested in following me? Do you want to do some raising cattle and feeding pigs in the future? I really don't want to. When you grow up, you can still farm or mine?"
The little beggars were obviously a little moved. Qin Gao, who was begging for an oily leg, was immediately raised his head happily when he heard "mining", "We have to dig a lot of ore here every day. Hahaha..."
However, Xiaoyu became obviously alert, looked up at Qin Bai, and whispered, "Young Master, we still like freedom outside, we don't want to go with you."
Iron ore is better, usually open-pit mining. Coal mines need to be dug in the well. In ancient times, coal mines did not have modern tunnels and were generally very narrow, so a lot of mined blackspots were child laborers. The main reason is that they have low productivity and have no mechanical tools, which makes it easy to dig in small amounts, but when they are big, they become time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Moreover, child laborers in this era are not worth anything at all, and they can buy a batch of them at will, and there are even more black mine kilns. Therefore, the lives of those child laborers are extremely miserable, and they basically do not live to adulthood, and they will die and be completely disabled in two or three years at most.
So Qin Gao's explanation actually caused Xiaoyu's misunderstanding. His prestige among the little beggars seemed to be very high. Although some of the others seemed to yearn for and some were still hazy, when Xiaoyu made a decision, everyone still obeyed the decision.
At this time, Qin Bai simply wanted to do something good, and he didn't know that there was such a misunderstanding in it. Since the little beggars refused to agree, let them be free. So when they were full, Qin Bai ordered, "Brizzards, take them down! Give them all the dry food they can take, and each person will give them another 100 cents."
Begging is a difficult time, and these children have already snatched them from the table. Anyway, there is not much money, so just treat it as a good deed!
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu became very surprised. "Young Master, have you let us go?"
"Hehe." Qin Bai smiled and nodded, got up and prepared to leave.
"Young Master, do you still give us money and food?"
"Haha." Qin Bai waved his hand and said goodbye, and he would have to hurry up as soon as possible tomorrow.
Seeing that Qin Bai had already walked to the door, Xiaoyu struggled for a few seconds. He suddenly shouted, "Young Master, I have something to explain to you! Wait for a moment-!"
