Wen Cong, a contract employee of the Sizhou branch of the grain club "Northern Grain Bank" affiliated to the "Rishengchang" Chamber of Commerce, is a native of Sizhou. Although he was born in Beiqu County in the north-east of Hexi Province (now Jilin, Linfen City, Shanxi Province)
The northern part of the county) is quite far away from where he currently works, which is Aocang in the northeast of Xingyang County, Henan County - that short distance is even longer than the distance from his home.
It takes a long time to reach Bingshuo from the countryside, but he is still a native of Sizhou with a household registration, and with this status, he has become a member of the Northern Grain Company. Over the past few years, with diligent work,
Now he has become a small boss, supervising more than ten laborers with the same status as him, responsible for the loading and unloading of food and related materials.
If the situation is urgent, I will occasionally work as a guard. However, because I am not a professional, I will be cautious every time along the way.
I don’t want to do this kind of work anymore. After this trip, I’m almost scared for half my life, and my dad is still waiting for me to die for him.”
Of course, when the next time comes, he will still go into battle again because of the high reward given by the trading company.
Therefore, he was often teased by his co-workers because of this incident, and every time he laughed out loud, saying loudly, "Next time I will definitely not go there again. If I stomp my feet again, I must stomp my feet. You must also do the same."
You stopped me" so that no one would take it seriously, and in the end it would basically end with the little boss offering a few big bucks to treat everyone to a bowl of hot wine.
Because Wen Cong was generous and hospitable, even though he had some minor flaws, it did not affect his popularity among the big guys at all. The team he led was also the team that completed the work the fastest and with the best quality, often
Be able to get praise and rewards from the branch manager.
It's probably because of this that he has the money to often treat everyone to drinks.
Unknowingly, with the evening breeze blowing, the day's work came to an end. Although everyone was not idle yet, the energy of the work was obviously relaxed a lot. Even the foreman like Wen Cong
. He stopped urging his subordinates, and instead began to joke with them, or discuss where to go to have fun tonight.
This period and the lunch break are known as the most active times on the construction site.
After that, it’s time to pack up and get ready for get off work.
They can leave when the time comes, but some people are not so lucky.
There are also some people with accents from the Central Plains region who are working overtime - loading various supplies on various delivery vehicles, and then even though the sky is extremely dark, there is still no way to stop them from starting various delivery vehicles -
Including but not limited to various large vehicles driven by livestock, and heading southeast along the chasm that has not been completely cut off. Of course, the Han people prefer to call it Langtang Canal.
I have to say that the large amount of sediment brought by the Yellow River from the Loess Plateau is simply a super artifact. It has been through the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties for hundreds of years. It has a super large-scale water conservancy project, and it has been basically invaded by the Yellow River just a few times.
It was ruined. If Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty had not made great efforts to renovate the channels of the Yellow River and Bianshui River, this ancient canal, which sounds familiar and extremely tall, would have been completely blocked by yellow sand and loess.
I really think about the sand mining boats on the Yellow River. Although private sand mining boats are said to be illegal and excessive mining will affect the safety of the river, after all, their unplanned mining behavior will cause a huge difference in the depth of the river, which may cause various problems in the river.
Such an undercurrent, but for those who are eager to transport the materials here to
For those at the destination, faster speed is obviously more important than paying for some ship losses and casualties. And perhaps more importantly, they do not need to pay those greedy businessmen to hire people with obvious ""
A worker with the attribute of "Uncle" who comes from the area under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou Army.
In fact, this statement is somewhat exaggerated. After all, during working hours, the workers from the north behaved very seriously and responsibly, and there was no such thing as laziness or slipping. Even because they pay attention to division of labor and cooperation, they work within unit time
Their work efficiency is much higher than that of their counterparts from the south.
It's just that on one side, the working time is stuck for ten hours and five hours. At noon, I can still get one hour, which is half an hour, for lunch and rest. On the other hand, under the supervision of the supervisor, I even have to work all day.
Sixteen or seventeen hours, so even if those workers from the south are a little lazy at work, with the accumulation of a lot of time, the effect of their work will naturally be more beautiful. It will also naturally make those who only look at the results and not the process
People secretly cursed.
It's a pity that they can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out about this situation. Firstly, the wages of those northern workers are paid by those northern companies, and they have no say if they don't pay. Secondly, those southerners are really
We can't squeeze out more strong laborers to come here to perform this kind of heavy physical labor-the farmland needs
It is necessary to leave enough manpower to ensure that one's side will not have a food shortage in the second year and then be threatened by local businessmen or even powerful families under its own jurisdiction. The battlefield ahead also needs a large amount of cannon fodder to fill the gaps left by the large number of new soldiers who died in battle.
There is a gap, so the strong labor force here will naturally be greatly affected.
If it weren't for those businessmen in Bingzhou who felt that they could make a good profit by coming here, so they sent laborers to assist in the spirit of "sustainable development". Otherwise, how could businessmen who are naturally profit-seeking be so kind?
.
But even so, those foremen were told before they came here that they should not be as active as they were when working in the area under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Army. Although they could not blatantly slack off in work, they would never take the initiative to ask for work when it was time to take a break.
.
Otherwise, how about letting that bastard black-skinned dwarf get some advantages?
You must know that the land they are working on now was still under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Army a year ago. Various businesses also attached great importance to this place. Many families also invested a lot of energy and financial resources. However, due to the game at the top, although
It cannot be said that it was completely in vain, but it was definitely a heavy loss.
It turns out that even if a certain black-skinned dwarf is very interested in many policies of Bingzhou, he will not be so "generous" to businessmen. Not to mention other things, just the various donations and taxes can make the businessmen pronounce judgment from the bottom of their hearts.
The death penalty for a certain black-skinned dwarf, let alone letting these people take the initiative to pay money to make their men work desperately.
It would be almost the same if it were the Bingzhou Army that continued to expand trade routes for them. After all, if you work for the Bingzhou Army, as long as you do well enough, you will have the opportunity to participate in the handling of the spoils after the war. Even those high-ranking generals often have
Each has its own path, but the loot in the hands of a large number of ordinary soldiers is still a huge market, and the profit margins are even more astonishing.
Well, of course, none of this has anything to do with Wen Cong, who is already sitting in a small restaurant near Aocang.
Of course, it would not be correct to say that there is no relationship at all. After all, the reason why Wen Cong can come here to treat everyone to a drink is entirely because the boss has a good business. Otherwise, it would be impossible to spend those small amounts of money to motivate employees.
work enthusiasm.
By the way, due to the arrival of a large number of caravans, the tertiary industry near Aocang has developed vigorously - when the Bingzhou Army was under the jurisdiction of the area, Aocang, a place that mainly radiated to the Central Plains, was not as prosperous as it is now.
.For those relatively affluent Bingzhou people, this place can always provide a lot of services that are of good quality and, most importantly, cheaper than Bingzhou.
The restaurant's business is still good.
Although there are a lot of people, surprisingly there are no southern or northern accents. Although most people speak in slightly different tones, they are generally the same. Those are dialects from the Bingshuo area, because Li Shushi's Bingzhou
The army gradually became the master of a large area. The dialect of Bingzhou people also seemed to become popular.
Of course, the most important thing is that because Li Shushi "invented" pinyin with pronunciation, it makes it easier for Bingzhou's accent to be popularized. Although people in other areas still like their own dialects, a unified accent can still be used for various purposes.
Production and circulation activities have brought great convenience. Although it has not been fully promoted and covered due to time constraints, I believe that as long as the Bingzhou Army can maintain its current aggressive pace, then one day, Li Shushi will be able to complete what can be called the great
feat.
Speaking of which, it seems that no dynasty in ancient China could achieve unification of pronunciation, even if it had not been for the First Emperor to unify the characters, and the three-dimensional square characters are relatively difficult to change due to different pronunciations. This is why flower growers
The rabbits won’t look like a certain super heavy-tasting rabbit
The people of the goddess Europa had their brains ripped out because of the different dialects, and finally had to be turned into pocket buttons one after another. Even if they were barely connected with threads, they looked more like grasshoppers being dressed up than a whole body.
——When a grasshopper cannot jump up, the whole bunch of grasshoppers will be scrapped together with it.
Even other grasshoppers are very hardworking.
Well, of course the above is just a joke. In fact, grasshoppers who are industrious and so on are really just pagans.
Therefore, many people joke that if you meet a large group of people with similar accents in one place, then these people must come from the area under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Army.
Of course this is just a joke, after all, wouldn’t other regions allow “a large wave” of people to appear?
Even fascists will not devote their limited energy to this boring cause.
The restaurant became lively due to the influx of customers after work. There were sounds of drinking and punching, the sounds of wine bowls colliding with various materials, and various loud sounds of bragging and spanking. However, regardless of the owner, the restaurant became lively.
The guests who come here to spend money are already accustomed to it, or they are originally
I really like this kind of atmosphere. Those who don't adapt to the environment here have to come here except for socializing. Most of them will choose some relatively remote small restaurants, order a bowl of hot wine, and drink in the dim light.
Slowly taste the slightly bitter or sour turbid wine and experience the loneliness of life.
However, in such a noisy environment, there is a place that seems to be incompatible with the atmosphere here. If there were few people before, such an excessively quiet place was not noticeable, then now it is like in the ocean.
Like a lighthouse pointing the way for ships, it exudes a presence that cannot be ignored.
In fact, even restaurants that are surrounded by all kinds of noisy noises nowadays actually have private rooms specially opened to VIPs. Even if the sound insulation effect is not very good, it is still enough for those who like to be quieter.
Chatting. And people at a table like this are drinking quietly, and occasionally even if they talk, they are in whispers - at least for the people around them, they want to distinguish those people among the noisy voices.
It's really hard to figure out what he said.
Of course, although these workers were very curious about a group of strange people mixed in among ordinary people like them, they would not go to provoke them for no reason. After all, several of those people had a sinister look on their faces, and that one
The little man with tender skin and tender flesh looks like the underage eldest son of a noble family.
To sum it up, it is completely the rhythm of people with status going out to play with various servants, bodyguards and so on. For such people with status, let alone them, they can go even to areas where there is war as long as they do not encounter insurgents.
of.
So even after being fed with yellow soup and horse urine, they still maintained enough distance from those gentle guys.
The most they can do is look at each other a few more times, and then use the strength of wine to ridicule those bastards who made the atmosphere a little weird.
Unfortunately, such sarcasm did not dare to be said openly, because some people have noticed that the group of people placed swords and other things in a slightly conspicuous position next to them, which obviously means that those guys are indeed not good, and they are definitely.
A group of troublesome people, even if they all come from the area under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Army, they don't think they have the ability to provoke such people.
Of course, these northerners wouldn't be afraid if the other party took the initiative to cause trouble. Those southerners who were originally from the Central Plains were repaired several times in secret or overtly because of provocation. Even though they were just a group of stinky workers who worked hard, there were actually some among their foremen.
The four veterans who retired from the Bingzhou Army, even though they are already in their forties, have not lost any ability.
Naturally, when drinking together, they would often talk about their past "great achievements", but the one who did the best in the army was just one of them, so the great achievements they talked about were mostly just bragging.
He is just bragging, or he is just transplanting the deeds of Paoze who really performed well on the battlefield onto himself.
This approach captures the essence of transplanting flowers and grafting new ideas into reality. Presumably, if he could be reincarnated into the era before Li Shushi's time travel, he would definitely be able to become a good online writer, or at the very least, a fan author who could get thousands of recommendations every week.
Because we have to work tomorrow, such indulgence cannot continue until too late. Not to mention that even if Aocang is not a county town, it is a military supply center. There are still patrolling troops nearby, so it cannot be that all those soldiers have gone to bed.
These workers were having a great time, but if something like this really happened, a mutiny would probably happen soon.
Of course, another reason is probably that the soldiers guarding here are basically southerners from the Central Plains. Their own folks are still working overtime and around the clock. But these Yankees are actually living and drinking here. I really can't bear it.
, Auntie couldn't bear it either, even though their commander might have stayed in the Bingshuo area for a short period of time.
No matter what the reason is, resting when it's time to rest is also a good thing for the body. It allows the body's organs to complete a series of rest and self-repair in a quiet environment. It is simply the most economical and affordable method that does not require medication.
Keep in good health, and those who reverse day and night, sleeping when the yang energy is strong, and staying up late and working overtime when the yin energy is rising, will probably be plagued by diseases even if they do not die from overwork. So now, in addition to programmers, Internet writers
They have also become a high-risk group.
Although exploding the liver too hard may make people happy, you have to be careful about exploding the liver.
As a result, the originally noisy environment gradually subsided, just like the ebb and flow of the sea, but the speed of the change in the middle was obviously faster than the rise and fall of the tide. People who were not completely drunk were supporting those who had turned into drunk cats——
Even if it's not a high-concentration liquor, there will always be some brave guys who are like drinking water, or some guys who are extremely talented will fall down directly after just a few mouthfuls of cat urine, and finally have to ask those who are used to it.
Workers.
But seriously speaking, in fact, drinking too much vinegar in this era can be intoxicating, and because it is fully fermented, there is no need to worry about problems such as excessive formaldehyde. For some people who love this, it is even better.
Wonderful product.
Yes, there is no need to look elsewhere. In addition to being famous for its drinks, Bingzhou is also famous for its aged vinegar. Although Li Shushi is not the kind of "controlling" person who cannot live without vinegar, this flavor is basically indispensable in Su Xiaoluoli's cold dishes.
Seasonings, fanatics like Zhang Yang and Wang Ling cannot live without Dun Dun.
So although it's a bit exaggerated to say you're drunk until you're drunk, it's not unusual at all.
However, when leaving, Wen Cong noticed that the guests at that particular table didn't seem to be leaving, and the waiter who was cleaning up and preparing to close didn't seem to be urging them.
Where do these guys come from?
Wen Cong, who was just more certain that the other party was extraordinary, was not in the mood to get to the bottom of this matter.
This is an era full of troubles. Why bother with one more thing when you can have one less thing to do.
Naturally, he couldn't hear comments like "It's such a peaceful place that doesn't feel like a battlefield at all" coming from that table.
And it wasn't until everyone had left that the guests at that table seemed to suddenly wake up and seemed ready to leave.
They did not pay the bill, but it seemed that neither the shopkeeper nor the waiters had any intention of asking them for money. They just silently cleared away the leftovers and arranged the somewhat messy table and mats.
The night in Aocang finally became somewhat peaceful. (To be continued...)
