Chapter 865 Are you silly for being too nagging
When Zhu remembered the time when he picked up the pot, the smell of braised pork filled the city.
Qihuamen Pier is not far from Zhu Ji. The first-come-first-served platform near the water is the first to smell the aroma of braised pork.
At first, it was just people with sharp noses like Er Niu and Er Lengzi who smelled the mouth-watering aroma of meat. Slowly, as the aroma of braised meat became stronger and stronger, people on the dock All the warriors smelled the smell of meat.
Although the greedy person is drooling, under the stimulation of this meaty aroma, all the cells in the body are excited, as if a martial arts master has opened up the Ren and Du meridians, and the whole body is full of energy. strength.
One, two, one
One, two, one
Coming and going
Sweating like rain
No matter how much the foreman encouraged him, the laborers soon moved a boat The porcelain was moved cleanly.
Every time the laborers carry a box of porcelain, they will receive a bamboo stick. In the end, the foreman will settle their wages based on the number of bamboo sticks.
After the steward accompanying the cargo ship confirmed that none of the porcelain was defective, he readily gave the wages to the foreman surnamed Liu.
“Don’t crowd, come one by one.”
The foreman surnamed Liu stood on a pile of bricks at the dock, maintaining order while pressing the bamboo sticks in the hands of the laborers with great force. The husbands distributed the morning's wages.
"Okay, we've all finished. You did a great job, and I keep my word. Let's go to Sihai Restaurant. I'll treat you to a drink. Open your bellies and drink. How much do you drink? It’s all my fault.”
After the worker surnamed Liu received the money, he jumped down from the pile of bricks, patted his chest and shouted to everyone.
"Okay!!! Liu Tou is very impressive."
"Liu Tou is still bright and bright."
"Liu Tou is very angry."
Everyone stood there for a while. There was a roar of applause and cheers.
After working all morning and working up a sweat, we went to Sihai Restaurant to order two dishes and drink two bowls of wine. It wasn't too beautiful.
For a long time, the tantalizing scent of human flesh wafting in the air above the pier stimulated their taste buds. If they didn't go to the temple of five internal organs, the gluttons in their stomachs could eat the temple of five internal organs. It was torn down.
Although Sihai Restaurant is extremely expensive, there are a lot of people at a table. Seven or eight people at a table can pool their money to order five or six dishes. When divided evenly, it’s about twenty or thirty cents per person. It’s acceptable. within the range.
Although Sihai Restaurant sometimes looks down upon others and sometimes the dishes they cook are too salty or too bland, no matter what, the dishes cooked by their chefs are much more delicious than those cooked by the mother-in-law at home. Yes, at least the cook is willing to add oil, unlike the mother-in-law at home, who can’t even smell the smell of oil in any dish.
The key is, the drinks are free, and the foreman covers all the drinks.
Who doesn’t like to take a few sips if he works hard?
But usually I am not willing to drink.
A table of seven or eight people will cost at least two buckets of wine, three to four hundred cash for one bucket of wine, and six or seven hundred cash for two buckets of wine. If the foreman hadn't paid for the drinks, everyone would have paid a hundred cents less.
Indeed.
Liquor in ancient times was not cheap, as can be seen from the poet's poems.
Li Bai: "Ten thousand gold bottles of wine are worth ten thousand yuan, and jade plates of delicacies are worth ten thousand yuan." Wang Wei: "Xinfeng fine wine is worth ten thousand yuan, and Xianyang rangers have been there for many years." Bai Juyi: "A total of ten thousand yuan is worth a bucket, and we look at each other for seventy Three years owed."
Of course it is possible that Li Bai, Wang Wei, and Bai Juyi were all rich and handsome men in ancient times. They had high consumption levels and the wines they drank were all good wines.
Compared to them, Du Fu, who "howled in the autumn wind in August and rolled up the triple thatch on my house", could be regarded as a proletarian, and he was closest to the life of ordinary people. Du Fu wrote a poem called "Liu Xingxing Bi Si Yao". In this poem he wrote: "The price of wine on the street is often expensive, and the drunkards outside are often drunk and sleep. If you drink a bucket quickly, you will have three hundred bronze coins. . ”
A bucket of wine costs three hundred dollars, which is about the same price as the cheapest shochu in restaurants all over the world, which shows that wine was expensive in ancient times.
That’s why everyone was so excited when the foreman surnamed Liu invited him to drink.
"Haha, let's go to Sihai Restaurant." The foreman surnamed Liu smiled heartily and took the lead to walk to Sihai Restaurant.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go, the twice-cooked pork at Sihai Restaurant tasted good last time, I want to order another plate today.”
Everyone agreed.
However, at this moment, a discordant sound sounded.
"Ahem, Liu Tou, um, uh, I won't go to Sihai Restaurant this time."
The voice was not loud, but among the echoes, it was unusually obvious.
Who is it?
Aren’t you being silly if you don’t go to someone’s invitation for a drink? ! If you don’t take advantage of a hundred cents, is your head filled with water? !
Everyone turned to look at the speaker, curious to see who the idiot who didn't go was.
Swish, swish, swish
Dozens of eyes were all focused on the speaker.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the fat and big-eared fool stretched out his big hand like a cattail fan and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and the flesh on his fat face trembled.
“A fool?!”
“Aren’t I dazzled? It was a fool who just spoke?”
"Young fool, aren't you sick?"
Everyone cried out in surprise when they saw the speaker. This fool is usually the most greedy. You can tell by looking at his body shape that he is easy to take advantage of and he is more addicted to alcohol than others. Everyone is big. On weekdays, let alone inviting him to drink, if there is a wedding or wedding event for any of the eight neighboring villages, these two fools would go there without invitation, just to eat and drink.
But today Liu Tou invites you for a drink, and this idiot doesn’t even go? !
Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west? ! Everyone was stunned, with their mouths open for a long time without regaining consciousness.
“Ahem, um, Liu Tou, I won’t go to Sihai Restaurant today either.”
When everyone was surprised that Er Lengzi didn't go to Sihai Restaurant, they heard a loud sound again.
Huh?
Another one? !
What happened today? Everyone looked at the source of the sound in surprise again. Their eyes opened wider and their mouths opened wider.
Iron pillar? !
Tie Zhu didn't even go. Isn't this true? Tie Zhu is a bachelor. He can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. Tie Zhu doesn't like whoring or gambling. He is also willing to work and has great strength. Incomparably, one person can work better than others, but his pocket is always cleaner than his face, because he spends all the money he earns on eating meat and drinking wine.
But today, Liu Tou invited everyone to have a drink at Sihai Restaurant, but Tie Zhu didn’t go? ! He has never fallen behind once before! ! !
“Ahem, I’m not going either.”
“And me.”
“Me too.”
When everyone was in Tie Zhu's frightened state, they heard four or five more voices expressing their refusal to go.
Okay!
Everyone was already numb with surprise. What happened today?
Usually Liu Tou invites everyone to drink, and everyone is actively talking about something, and no one is left behind. But there are six or seven people not going today? !
