Chapter 835: Those who are covered with silkworms are not silkworm farmers
The foggy sky is like a tattered rag that can be squeezed out of water at any time, and the raging dust in the air is the best gift given by nature to the world. The night shop clerk was still eating leftovers from lunch while looking at his account book.
, while fantasizing about becoming a millionaire tomorrow.
The shop owner sitting behind the counter was bending down and stuffing the bottles and cans he had accumulated during the week into wooden boxes. He performed this behavior regularly because there was an old man who would do it every week.
Come on time, and these rags are all he needs to survive, at least enough to have a meal of ale every week.
Poverty and wealth are often as abstract as a bloody scene performed at the Star City Opera House, or a poor novel that complains about nothing. But sometimes it seems very real, so real that it happens around us. It is like chatting with friends.
Sometimes, the other party always shows off which principality he went to some time ago, or traveled across the ocean to a foreign continent, while he always stays where he is, rarely even stepping out of the familiar street outside the window.
The income from Mai Xiang Yue was handed over to the duchy’s tax officer, while the nobles went to the Yelu Prairie to enjoy the flowers and barbecue; the income from the Withered Moon was lost to the people, while the nobles went crazy in Gling Castle all night long; the gold coins from the Harvest Moon were paid.
The payment for goods was in arrears, while the nobles were accompanied by beautiful women and sang to their heart's content; the gold coins of the Beaver Moon were just to survive the Black Rain Moon, but the nobles were talking about jewelry and perfume at the brightly lit dinner party.
Reality is a shameless little devil, it will crush all our dreams, and then it will pass through our world with great power.
This is just like when everyone gathers in a Star City bar. The aristocrats feast without caring about their image. In the eyes of others, they are honest, do not forget their original intentions, and have no airs. However, the devouring of most ordinary businessmen is seen by others as uneducated and incompetent.
Know how to behave and embarrass everyone in the world. Do you know why nobles spend thousands of gold coins to buy a dark elf necklace? Their purpose is to make ordinary people think about this problem.
They carefully selected, worked hard, and happily put on new clothes and walked out of the door, but others cast disdainful glances. Maybe this kind of careful calculation is really worthless in the eyes of others, but they want to
You know, in fact, it’s not that others don’t know how to match, or that they have a problem with their vision, they just lack the gold coins to put together a complete outfit. When worn by nobles, cheap robes are called low-key, but when worn by ordinary people, they become shabby. p>
What is a noble? The nobles are "frugal and frugal" every day in the Principality College. Each pot of ale they drink is less than three gold coins, and each meal they eat is only a dozen silver coins. However, after graduation, they use their savings to
With only a few dozen gold coins left in the bag, plus the 10,000 gold coins given by my parents, I bought a courtyard in the aristocratic district of Star City, and euphemistically called it: self-reliant.
What is a nobility? If you want to practice knowledge, you can go to any principality. If you don’t want to practice, you can inherit the family business. If it doesn’t work, you can just live and die and become a charterer. The bunch of keys at home are your capital. If others need it temporarily
When renting a house, it may take a long time for people to find the keys. As the saying goes: We are not an agency, we are just the movers of the wooden wedges for the courtyard gate.
What is an aristocrat? After a whole day of laughing and joking, aristocrats have to walk dozens of meters to see the courtyard gate when they return to their residence, and then walk dozens of meters more to get from the lobby to the stairs. After climbing three floors, they have to walk again
You have to walk dozens of meters to see the bedroom, and after you see the bedroom, you have to dismiss a few servants before you can go in and sleep. Unlike ordinary people, in addition to working every day, it is the door of their own courtyard, and even the bed is right after entering the door. Happiness is seamless.<
/p>
Every time at this time, there will always be some nobles who stand up and talk without pain in their backs and say: The road in life is long, we must be down-to-earth, set a small goal for ourselves first, earn a hundred gold coins. However, this statement sounds like
It's the same as eating soup, everyone can use a knife and fork, but it lacks caviar; although I grabbed the coupon for Star City Bar, it still lacks a decent brocade robe; I have already learned the words to praise the bard, but I just can't bear to part with it.
Buy that expensive ticket.
There is a saying that goes like this: "If you have been lazy for a long time, if you work a little harder, you will think that you are working hard." But the person who said this is either the gods above the nine heavens who do not eat the fireworks of the world, or they are lions, but
An idiot who likes to reason with rabbits.
Because an ordinary person’s day is like this: get up at seven in the morning, work nine to five, then go home from work to eat, then take a shower and rest, and then nothing more. Everyone wants to enrich themselves and be as willful as in the opera.
But who will pay us if we don’t go to work? Our children won’t eat? Our wives won’t support us? Our parents won’t care anymore?
You must know that most of the time, when the nobles look up to the sky and lament those trivial things, ordinary people are selling smiles in shops; when the nobles buy a pair of leather boots just for collection and display, ordinary people are calculating whether they should eat boiled water for dinner.
Chicken, or boil it into soup and divide it into two meals.
This is just like a vampire fantasizing that one day in the future, he can be as white and flawless as an angel, with wings on his back, and can still suck blood. Perhaps only by being reincarnated as a cotton swab can all his desires be satisfied.
People who are rich and capable can be seen everywhere, but why are they able to do their jobs down-to-earth, while some people are always fussy when spending money like water? If you have the ability, create greater wealth and be admired by thousands of people; if you don’t have the ability, you will grow old.
Isn’t it good to just be a rich second generation?
They have to moan cliches while being surrounded by thousands of flowers and not recognizing the fragrance! What are they wronging? Do they have to give the gods a silver spoon and then give them a brain like a peak powerhouse?
What is sadness, sadness is when ordinary people have to brag for three days after eating snow crab, while other people's nobles are chewing truffles and beef; what is sadness, sadness is when ordinary people are narcissistic in the pit, and other people's nobles wipe
After wiping the butt paper once, it will never be folded a second time; what is sad is that when ordinary people show off where they have been, the pajamas of the nobles will never be folded again as long as they are stained with a little dust.
Use after cleaning.
This sense of gap is like every time you step out of the city gate, someone else is lying in a carriage, while ordinary people can only walk forward slowly; walking in the central area of Star City, the nobles pay more attention to style, while ordinary people pay more attention to
During the celebration, the nobles talked about which principality they planned to go to, while ordinary people talked about which stall they visited yesterday; when listening to an opera, the nobles praised the protagonist's superb acting skills, while ordinary people talked about which stall they visited yesterday.
She lamented that although the other party was young, the remuneration for each performance was almost equal to his two years of living expenses...
There are layers of dark clouds in the sky, making it hard to breathe like a giant statue. The aristocratic carriage outside the window is still so exquisite and gorgeous, which is in sharp contrast to the shop assistants who are munching chicken legs. The ladies who have bought all the colors are complaining
In spite of the weather, a poor girl holding black bread hurriedly ran into the alley.
The wooden door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a rickety figure arrived as expected. The shop owner smiled and presented a box of garbage, and the old man danced with joy. A drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the old man immediately turned and left. The shop clerk was quiet.
Standing in place, quietly listening to the hum of the grass and trees.
