Dahuang tightened his fur-collared leather jacket tightly and walked along the bustling street to the restaurant. There are no homeless people in Hongjiashan yet, but there are quite a few beggars on the road. You can meet one after just a few steps, and he is a decent person.
Children in the Eight Classics beg for food and are grateful for a steamed bun.
"Why has the price increased so much again? You can't even let people live..."
A burst of noisy shouts came from the front, and a large group of people were seen blocking the door of the grain station. Dahuang curiously walked over and looked around on tiptoe. It turned out that the price of grain had soared again. Now a pound of food stamps can only be exchanged for half a pound of rice.
Yes, the price increase is simply scary.
"Nah! Half of my food stamps are gone. This is too cheating..."
Although Dahuang didn't understand the words on the blackboard, he understood just from what others said that the more food stamps were kept in his pocket, the less valuable they became.
However, the gun-wielding guard shouted: "What are you yelling about? Where can you get food in this cold weather? Several farms were attacked by monsters in succession. How many people died before we could get some food. You know that there is no point in yelling here.
You can go out and get food yourself!"
"Please give me some change, our family really can't open the pot..."
A woman held a grain stamp with the smallest denomination. No one would give her a meter or two, but Dahuang could only shake his head and turn around and leave. He had followed Xia Buyer for so many years and he knew very well that helping people in emergencies does not help the poor.
If you help the other person, more people will immediately surround you, and they will kneel and kowtow to prevent him from leaving.
"You are too shady. You have coal mines and you still sell them at such a high price. Do you have any conscience..."
There was another crowd of people in front of a shop. The manager waved his hands in agony, but someone immediately said: "Don't make things difficult for me. As soon as Zhang Ziyu left, the Xie family's tax went up. A pound of stuff contains six taels."
Taxes, if they don’t sell at such high prices, they will have to close down!”
A group of patrols suddenly rushed over and shouted angrily: "Who is farting and spreading rumors here? It is clearly Shiniu County who is making dirty money. They don't give us Hongjiashan a way to survive, and they actually put a shit basin on our heads. Give it to me."
Arrest those who spread rumors!”
"Run quickly!"
There was an uproar immediately at the door of the shop, and the patrols even smashed the shop door. The Xie family was so angry that they had no choice but to close the shop early.
"Alas~"
Dahuang sighed and continued to walk forward. He soon discovered that all the merchants related to Shiniu County were deliberately making things difficult. They either raised taxes or caused trouble. Xia Buer was also branded as a vicious profiteer.
, and even made up limericks specifically to scold him.
Dahuang finally understood the reason for the soaring prices. Materials in Shiniu County have always been very cheap. People would be damned if they didn't increase prices. At the same time, he also heard a word that many petty bourgeoisie were secretly discussing, but he didn't understand.
——Excessive food stamps!
"Boss! Do you want a servant at your house..."
An unkempt woman suddenly stopped him. She was actually wearing a single coat in the cold weather. She pointed to the alley behind her tremblingly and said, "It's not me! It's a girl from our village who is looking for a job. As long as it provides food and accommodation,
It doesn’t matter if you give me money, there are wet nurses and servants, and there are men too!”
"Why don't you go to the labor market? There are many opportunities there..."
Dahuang glanced into the alley in surprise, and saw that there were more than ten women hiding in the bushes, poking around like thieves.
"Price has risen too much, many people have been laid off, and the labor market is no longer viable..."
The woman wailed and said: "We can only try our luck here, but we are not allowed to take jobs here. If we are caught, we will be beaten, boss! Just hire one. My niece sold her son and she really can't make a living."
, please show mercy!”
The woman said that she was going to kneel on the ground.
Huang guessed that she would kneel down, but he still walked quickly towards the alley. More than a dozen women hurriedly got out of the bushes, straightening their backs but looking at him timidly, and several young men were cautious.
standing at the end.
"That! What do you know..."
Dahuang hesitated for a long time before he spoke. He had so many women in Daxian Temple that he couldn't use them all. He really didn't know what to do with them after buying them back. What's more, Daxian Temple was a den of thieves. Taking them back would be like pushing them into a pit of fire.
"Raise pigs! Farm! I can do laundry and cooking..."
"I can raise rabbits and chickens, and I can also do farm work..."
"Boss! As long as you can give me food to eat, I can do anything you want..."
A group of women shouted in unison, and Dahuang finally understood. These women had no skills at all. They were just doing rough work as maids. After all, the pretty ones wouldn't come here. They weren't being hired by others.
I just went to the Red Light Dance Hall.
"Boss! I'm a wet nurse. I can feed both adults and children..."
A slender white arm was raised from behind. Dahuang stretched out his head in surprise and saw a ponytail girl with her head half lowered. Maybe it was because her words were too naked. Her green cheeks were red and her left hand was still wet.
Holding tightly to his dirty floral shirt.
"How old are you? Why do you become a wet nurse..."
Dahuang waved subconsciously, and the girl walked out with her head raised, and whispered: "I will be seventeen next month. My family is poor and I have to earn tuition for my younger brother, so I will help women who can't have children to be surrogates. If anything happens,
Then I came here with them, but after I gave birth, they kicked me out!"
A woman held her hand and said: "Boss! This girl was deceived. The woman didn't want to give her money, so she said she was seducing her husband. He kicked her out in the middle of the night without giving her a penny, not even her clothes.
If you don’t give me one, I’ll make this girl cry from the cold!”
"You come with me, I will cover your food and accommodation from now on..."
Dahuang took out a large stack of food stamps from his pocket, handed them all to her and said: "You use the money to buy some winter clothes to wear, and you can sell what you want to eat, and the rest will be shared among your sisters.
Well, they are all pitiful people too!"
"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss..."
A group of women bowed in surprise and thanked each other. Who knew that the girl only took a quarter, and the rest was handed to the woman who spoke for her.
"this……"
None of the women expected that she would give so much, which was several hundred kilograms of food stamps, but the girl bowed and said: "Thank you brothers and sisters for helping me. If it weren't for you, I would have frozen to death. With this money
You all take it and share it, I’ll pay for food and accommodation with the boss, it won’t cost much!”
"Let's go! I'm still rushing to go on a blind date..."
Dahuang waved and walked out of the alley. The girl caught up with him amidst the shouts of gratitude. In fact, he just wanted to test the girl's character. After all, people only reveal their true nature when they are at their lowest. If the girl only has a few points,
Give a little to someone and he will turn around and leave.
"What's your name? Has a grown man ever asked you to be your wet nurse..."
Dahuang stopped in front of the bun shop, bought a bag of buns and handed it to the girl. Suddenly he realized that this girl looked like Zhou Dongyu, one of his favorite female celebrities, but he really didn't know that this girl was so thin.
What's so good about Chai He Niu?
"My name is Chu Yuyan, and a man took advantage of me yesterday..."
Chu Yuyan took the bun and said softly: "He said to hire a wet nurse for the child, and he asked me to give him a few sips to taste first. I... I agreed because I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it anymore, but he ran away after drinking it.
, there were a few men behind who wanted to drink by themselves, but I didn’t agree!”
Dahuang asked with a smile
: "Why did you promise me? Do you think I don't want to drink it?"
"I think you are a good person..."
Chu Yuyan took out the bun and took a big bite, and muttered: "You really want to help us solve our difficulties, unlike others who just want to take advantage. And you are so rich and handsome. It is my blessing to take a fancy to me.
Anyway...you can drink it if you want!"
"Haha~ I have a lot of nannies, and you are the only one I need..."
Dahuang happily touched her head and said: "But you can't go back with me. I am the guard commander of the Daxian Temple. Outsiders are not allowed to enter that place. I will take you to a warehouse and you will work for them from now on. I promise
No one dares to bully you and will give you a salary!"
"Don't you want me anymore..."
Chu Yuyan looked at him pitifully, reluctant to eat the buns in her hands, but if she followed Dahuang into the Daxian Temple, she might be arrested to become a goddess tonight.
"Let's go! It's better to go to the warehouse than follow me..."
Da Huang helplessly patted her shoulder, but as soon as she turned around, she was stunned. A heroic female officer was leaning on the opposite side, looking at him with her arms folded and a half-smile. She was his blind date tonight.
Li, but Wu Li got a long wig and put it on, covering her shaved head.
"What a coincidence! Why don't you just eat something? The food at Dengtian Pavilion isn't delicious anyway..."
Dahuang Shun pointed at a hot pot restaurant not far away, but Wu Li walked straight over, touched Chu Yuyan's head and asked: "Girl! Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why are you messing around with strangers?
Run, do you know what he does?"
"I know! My brother is the guard commander of the Daxian Temple..."
Chu Yuyan gently leaned against Dahuang, holding the bun and said: "Brother is not a bad person, he said he would take me to work in the warehouse, and gave me a lot of food stamps. It's not that I don't want to wait for you, I'll see you
It's been a long time since I've been here. I was so hungry that I just left with my brother..."
Wu Li raised her head and asked: "Zhao Jiacai! Where are you taking her?"
Dahuang picked his nose and said: "Dongsheng Warehouse! The boss there is my classmate's brother. I have introduced many businesses to them. It will be no problem to put a girl in there, but what do you mean by what you just said? You are afraid that I will kidnap the girl.
?”
Wu Li crossed her arms again and said, "You should know better than me what your Daxian Temple is doing. Shouldn't I doubt you?"
Dahuang ridiculed: "Then you come to have a blind date with me. After the blind date, you will be mine. Whatever I do means what you have done, Mrs. Zhao!"
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. I can't defeat you, but let's make a bet, shall we..."
Wu Li stood in front of him provocatively and said with a sneer: "There is a monster that has been causing harm to the people outside the city recently. The troops have been dispatched several times but have returned without success. If you have the guts, you can take people out of the city with us tonight. Who will be the first?"
Whoever kills the monster wins. If you win, I will go home with you. If I win, never come to harass me. Do you dare?"
Dahuang said: "I don't dare! I'm not a soldier. Why should I help you kill monsters? It's really funny whether you can go on a blind date or not!"
"you……"
Wu Li almost made him angry, but Dahuang laughed again and said: "If you want to play, play more excitingly. Whoever loses will kowtow and call daddy on the spot, and then run around the central square naked, do you dare?"
"Okay! It's settled, we will gather at the city gate tower at half past six, hum..."
Wu Li snorted coldly and turned away, while Dahuang touched Chu Yuyan's head and smiled: "Who do you think can win between me and her?"
Chu Yuyan thought for a while and then said: "You! Because you smile so treacherously, just like those stinky men who want to take advantage of me!"
