MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 67

the next day.

The porridge shed outside the grocery store continued to serve porridge.

Brother held his son's hand thinking he was dreaming, and he took his son to live in a big bed, put on warm clothes, have monthly money, and still have enough food every day.

The old lady was recruited as a family member. She could do light handy work with very little wages. She could eat enough every day without starving or freezing. , Wei Ji grocery store also recruited her to work.

The people who ate porridge together were all recruited to work in the grocery store. They wept with joy, they didn't have to starve and freeze, and they didn't have to starve to death on the street. They couldn't believe that all this was true.

My brother hugged his son tightly, his heart was sore, his eyes couldn't help falling down, from hearing the bad news, from crowning Kefu, from being kicked out of the house and living on the street with his young son, he is not afraid of hardship, he is afraid that he will not be able to support his son, He was afraid that his son would starve to death and freeze to death with him outside.

My brother finally understood what the porridge man meant when he said he was lucky.

Brother's skinny hand touched his son's happy smiling face, they, they were indeed lucky.

"You guys take a day off first and start working tomorrow. Before starting work, you will sign the employment contract. Don't worry about being cheated. We signed it too."

The young woman was wearing rough clothes, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of longing for life. She was no longer in the slums of Beicheng with her son, not getting enough to eat, and no longer in despair of being homeless.

There are also a few brothers and girls in the house who are helping to clean up, and they all tell the newcomers about their experiences.

"My family is very poor. If I didn't work in a workshop, I would have to go out to beg in the cold winter, and my family would suffer from hunger and cold." A girl said, "Now the family can have enough food and clothing."

"I was bullied by my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law wanted to sell my child. I was selling vegetables in the suburbs and heard the news and came to see a job." A woman in her thirties said, "If I hadn't come in to work, I would have been paid by my mother-in-law. Stand tall in front of my mother, my children will be sold, and the family depends on my wages for food and drink, and now my mother-in-law dare not sell my children."

The young woman said to her brother: "It's very hard for you to take care of your son. I have a little brother who also works with me in the workshop. I usually take him to work by my side. My brother is very tired. If you can help with small things, don’t worry about taking your children and delaying your work.”

Brother was really worried, but the young woman's words reassured him: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Everyone helps each other in the workshop. If you don't understand anything, just ask us. But remember, the most important thing to come to Weiji's workshop is to be diligent, hardworking and tight-lipped."

Brother said anxiously: "I am very diligent, and my mouth is very tight."

"Don't be nervous. Be careful. It's very easy to work in the workshop." The young woman said, "We still have to work, so you rest first!"

—

The porridge shed outside has finished serving porridge.

A large amount of wood is piled up outside the open space of the porridge shed.

The clerk at the grocery store raised his voice and said, "Anyone who helps to build a shed can get two big steamed buns."

As soon as the words fell, the refugees who had just finished eating the porridge rushed to the front to sign up. These are steamed buns. They haven't eaten them for several months. If they have something to eat, they just do some work.

"I, I have strength."

"I, I, I will help."

"..."

The servant said: "As long as you are willing to build a shed, you can help to build a shed."

The refugees ran to help if they could, and even the half-grown homeless children ran to help. Only a few lazy people sat on the ground in a group after eating. It doesn't matter if you don't eat it.

Wei Cheng is doing good deeds, but he will not do good deeds without brains. He will give refugees opportunities to do what they can, and helping them is helping themselves. Those who do not even help themselves, he will not give Too much kindness.

In the shed, apart from the elderly with limited mobility, even women, brothers and even children can do things to help.

You can get a steamed bun even if you do few things.

In just two days, the sheds were all set up.

When it was announced that the huts would be used by the refugees who helped build the huts, every refugee was stunned with vicissitudes of life, and then they stared in disbelief and cheered loudly.

They have shelter from the weather!

Those lazy people are dumbfounded—

And such a good thing? !

Once the huts are allocated well, rules must be established, fire prevention must be made, and they must be kept clean. Only by following the rules can they continue to live in them, otherwise they will be evicted.

Entering the hut, there are about ten people in one room, and there are thick quilts inside. The cold wind is howling outside, and it will rain and snow soon. When I think of the snow and wind, no refugee dares not to obey and violate the regulations. He has suffered from hunger and cold. , no matter how stupid you are, you should cherish it.

County Yali.

The county magistrate had a headache, and a large number of refugees gathered in Nanshan County every day after winter.

Resettlement of refugees is what he is required to do.

The county government doesn't have so much money to resettle refugees, so they have to find those rich merchants to donate. When these people ask them for money, they will find excuses to prevaricate.

He had to lower his face to find those rich businessmen to donate, and they were willing to help.

Seeing the number of refugees increasing day by day, I have a headache.

"Go, count the number of refugees in the county, how many there are, and go to the slums of Beicheng to find a place where no one lives." See him for a copy.

"The subordinates take orders!"

On the other side, a wealthy family in the inner city.

Several aristocratic families are preparing to go to the outer city to give porridge.

"This year, our family rushed to give porridge before the county magistrate came to ask about it. This is to sell well in front of the county magistrate, so that the magistrate will remember it. Next time, if there is anything that needs to be related to the county government, it can be easy to say .”

Flattering: "My master is kind-hearted."

"Remember to keep enough porridge and water."

"Don't worry, master, just like in previous years, those refugees will be grateful if they have enough to eat."

"Go ahead and do it!"

The porridge distribution is done in the slums and suburbs of the outer cities of the county, and the servants of these wealthy families build porridge sheds in their homes to prepare porridge.

Refugees in the slums don't know that there is porridge in the suburbs. When they see porridge, they rush to line up with begging bowls, fearing that the porridge will run out.

The porridge distributed by this family is clear soup with little water, and rice grains are rare. If a large pot of porridge is distributed, if there is any leftover, there will be no refugees behind.

What's happening here? !

There is not enough porridge every year.

A refugee saw that there was still food in the pot, and he was still not full after drinking porridge and water, so he cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Can I have another bowl?"

The servant who served the porridge shouted: "Whatever you want, take it and go away."

He was in charge of stopping the situation, yelled to stop the refugee who wanted more porridge, and signaled the servants to give him another spoonful of porridge water. After the refugee nodded and bowed in gratitude, he asked in a high-profile manner: "Are there usually so many refugees in Beicheng?"

The refugee replied cautiously: "Master, there were a lot of refugees a few days ago, but I don't know why the number of refugees has decreased in the past few days. Maybe they all went to the suburbs."

suburbs? !

The steward's servants went to the suburbs to inquire.

In addition, there are high-ranking and wealthy households serving porridge in the suburbs.

There were a few refugees here and there, the cold wind blew by, the servants who gave the porridge shivered in the cold wind, the refugees huddled together to eat and smacked their lips in satisfaction, they gnawed on the cold wind in the cold wind, they were more like refugees—

There are so few refugees, what's the situation? !

I got the information from the talk of the refugees—

"It's porridge water again."

"Porridge water is good, and porridge water makes you feel fuller."

"I thought I got the porridge from the porridge shed at the grocery store."

"This porridge is full of water, and there is rice porridge over there."

"I'm satisfied with some. I have to go and call someone to get the porridge. One more bowl is one bowl."

"That's right, we all live together, anyway, there's an extra bowl, and if you don't get paid, you don't get paid."

In previous years, they were all scrambling to get the porridge, but now they all get together and know that they want to share.

Porridge delivery person: "???"

After a while, the refugees came over in an orderly manner, and they automatically lined up to receive the porridge. The refugees who were left behind were all talking and laughing when they came over, and they left in no hurry.

Porridge delivery person: "???"

As soon as everyone inquires, they will know what's going on.

"Wei family? Which Wei family?"

"I opened a Xianmanju in the county town, and I opened a grocery store in the suburbs. The Wei family from Taifulou was behind it."

He frowned and thought.

Butler: "Master and Madam, is the porridge still available?"

The lady was impatient: "What kind of gift do you give? You don't know how to thank the refugees for nothing."

"Women and Taoists don't talk about ignorant things." The master stopped him and said: "Shi, we must continue to give, and the porridge must be thicker. How can this credit be intercepted? Before other sects react, we want to show my family. Dashan, this is a good reputation."

Similarly, there are other well-off families who not only donate porridge, but also distribute quilts.

The county government got the news.

The county magistrate smiled with satisfaction: "This is called Wei Cheng, who took the lead in giving out porridge, and those high-ranking households rushed to give out porridge. The refugees outside can survive the cold winter safely. This year's political achievements have something to say."

Master: "Congratulations, my lord."

Wei Yuan is going to marry Li Qingshui.

As good brothers, Wei Cheng and Wei Lei wanted to help pick up the bride. Considering Wei Cheng's outstanding appearance, he is now a rich man. Wei Cheng should be distracted to deal with it.

Moreover, when he came, it was the carriage and servants, because Wei Hu and Wei Yi were all going to attend the wedding banquet, it was too obvious, and it was a bit overwhelming.

Wei Cheng didn't go to pick up the bride, he asked Wei Hu and the others to go, and then he went to the banquet with his wife.

Wei Yuan's family worked at Wei Ji's stall, and the monthly dividends made their family quietly rich in the village. The villagers didn't know it, and thought that Wei Yuan's family was working part-time.

However, the family has wages every month. If the wages are the envy of the villagers, they can live a good life with those wages.

Everyone in the village was very surprised that Wei Yuan was going to marry a brother from a poor family. Astonished, they all felt that this brother was really lucky to be able to marry Wei Yuan, and now he would have nothing to worry about.

As for the dowry gift from Wei Yuan's family to Li Qingshui's family, it was quite standard on the surface, but in private they gave an additional twelve taels. This was because Wei Yuan's family cared about Li Qingshui's family's family situation, so they gave so much.

If the villagers knew that Wei Yuan's family hired Li Qingshui's family at ten taels of silver, they would be envious and jealous.

Li Qingshui's family is full of silver eyes, and the family has gone through all kinds of hardships, but the in-laws can't be found even with lanterns.

When Li Qingshui got married, it was still a ox cart to welcome her, and it was true that the country people still came by ox cart.

The unmarried girls and elder brothers in the village watched and saw that there were a few more strange men in the welcoming team. They looked upright and well dressed, and they all blushed.

Many brothers and girls have taken a fancy to Wei Lei, and they follow Wei Cheng to do things. Wei Lei looks imposing in his clothes, with a cool face, and the girls and brothers look at him not yet excited.

And the idea of ​​beating Wei Hu.

Girls and brothers like it in their hearts, and they must be reserved. Their family didn't have such worries, they went to sell their girls and brothers from the side, and those who wanted Wei Lei's idea directly asked Wei Lei's parents. If they really agreed to the marriage, Wei Lei would be separated, and they have no right to make decisions about the marriage.

A girl fell in love with Wei Hu's big man, so she went straight up to talk to someone, and even said her heart with a shy face. Wei Hu, who was puzzled, yelled on the spot: "I'm a servant, you fancy me, you want to talk to me?" Let me be present together!"

If you are yelling, please turn off your loud voice. When you shout with such a loud voice, all the villagers in the field can hear it!

The girl stomped her foot in shame and anger and ran home, shameless to see anyone!

She can't look down on a servant!

Come to drink Joy Villager: "...."

In this way, everyone knows that Wei Hu and the others are servants of Wei Cheng's family, what kind of plans do servants have, marrying them is a servant.

It's not that I can't find someone to marry!

Wei Hu and the others didn't have the villagers to bother them anymore, but the villagers' minds turned to Wei Cheng again. Wei Cheng's family had so many servants, opened food stalls, grocery stores, and workshops. No matter how rich he was, he would marry one Brother, you can still marry more ordinary wives, otherwise you can still eat and drink spicy food if you marry in the past and become a concubine.

The villagers became more active.

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuanlai were low-key, but he became high-key when he appeared, and the villagers wanted to get close. Fortunately, Wei Hu's mouth was not firm, and he was talking about things, blocking the villagers' time. Wei Cheng dragged his wife to escape the enthusiasm of the villagers. Wei Yuan's house.

Wei Cheng brought Zhou Yuan into Wei Yuan's house, but those villagers didn't follow, there were many village elders inside, how could they go in and argue.

Wei Cheng took his daughter-in-law to greet the village chief and the village uncles. Aunt Lu carefully considered Wei Cheng's situation and vacated a room to entertain them.

In the side room, Wei Cheng glanced over lightly: "What's going on?"

Wei Yi Wei Jin Wei Shi: "..."

A dead companion does not kill himself, and several of them unanimously pointed at Wei Hu, and it was all caused by this big man. Wei Hu also shouted: "Master, it's not my fault, it's the girl who wants to post it, so I'll tell the truth, and the voice is so loud." It's out of my control."

Wei Cheng stopped his hands while drinking tea, and raised his eyebrows: ".....You just messed with me when I didn't come, is it still reasonable now?"

Everyone else was holding back their laughter, and even Wei Lei rarely showed a smile with his cool face paralyzed.

Wei Cheng said coolly: "Wei Hu, I think I should find you a wife earlier, and let your wife treat your loud voice."

Wei Hu protested, "What kind of wife do you want to marry, don't marry!" Then he asked someone to intercede, "Master, you have to let the master take back his life."

Zhou Yuan held back his laughter and said, "It's time for you to find a wife."

Wei Hu shouted: "I'm just a rough guy, I don't know how to take care of my wife."

"Let your daughter-in-law take care of you." Wei Cheng said, "That's it for this matter. I'll find a matchmaker to introduce you to you another day."

Wei Hu howled loudly: "I have no money to raise a wife—!!"

Everyone burst into laughter!

All his monthly silver is spent on drinking, eating meat and buying pastries.

We all know he has no money!

At the dinner banquet, Wei Cheng and his wife ate in the courtyard and left immediately after eating. The villagers almost couldn't do it!

Who told them not to have a good relationship with Wei Cheng before!

I regret it now.

Zhou Lanlan is getting married.

Within a few days, I received news that Zhou Lanlan was getting married!

Didn't he still have Yun Chengfeng's idea, why did he marry so suddenly?

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan looked at each other.

Zhou Yongdao: "Uncle has lost a lot of money in business, and he has no money to pay back. Next year, my cousin Chunwei will take the exam for a scholar. My cousin said that the family I kissed will only help to pay back the money until my cousin gets married. The uncle's family will accept the dowry. Five days later get married."

Zhou Yuan asked: "Brother, Lan Lan agrees to get married?"

Zhou Yong: "I don't agree! Uncle's family accepts the dowry. If she doesn't agree, she will get married. Uncle also locks people in the house until they are married."

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan: "......"

It's not their turn to discuss this kind of thing.
