Chapter 255 She casually asked that he was too serious
We are all here to be exiled, not to work.
If you want to work, if you can make it to Liaozhou alive, there will be work to do. You can do it every day for the rest of your life, so what can you do here?
After drinking the hot water, several people rubbed their hands and quietly observed the Xie family working. Slowly, they discovered why a group of them were working with smoke coming from their heads.
“I don’t see them shouting coldly.” Someone next to me muttered.
"How about we do it like them?"
"Do you have the physical strength of someone else?"
"Try it, feel the heat from them, It doesn’t seem to be cold at all.”
A few people imitated the Xie family in working, and moved closer to them unknowingly as they worked. Once they got close to the Xie family, they couldn’t bear the speed of their hands. He was being assimilated, doing it faster and faster, his body began to move, his energy and blood soon became hot, and smoke started to appear from the top of his head at some point.
A few people whispered to each other. The closer they got to the Xie family, the closer they got to the Xie family. At some point, they struck up a conversation with the Xie family’s guards, breaking the barrier. Everyone chatted while doing so.
They were exiled all the way, so they suffered from insufficient food and did not care about their work, but they were indeed unable to keep up with their physical fitness, and their subsequent endurance could not keep up with those of the Xie family.
We are all men of about the same age, and we are all in the same embarrassment when we are on the road. Comparing the work we do, it is really a huge difference, and I can't help but feel ashamed for a while.
Xie Wuying, a clever little kid, found out about this silently, so she went to her sixth brother and her husband to talk about it for fun, and also thanked his beloved family god for his blessing from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes to look at his other half, the young prisoners who were whispering to me with the Xie family’s guards, his eyes darkened.
Zhang Dayi whispered from the side: "The general uses people just right for his work. I think these young people who work are good."
Xie Yuchuan understood the meaning of Zhang Dayi's words.
After pondering for a while, he said to Xie Wuying: "Are there any more rough cakes left at noon?"
"Yes, there are four or five more."
"Put a spoonful of pickle sticks in it. Please ask those people to help our Xie family finish the work as soon as possible."
Xie Wuying: "..."
"Go." Xie Yuchuan turned to look at him and urged.
Xie Wuying rolled his eyes, as if he understood something, and immediately went to find Mrs. Xie who was looking at the luggage. Everything was over there.
After a short meeting, he left and returned. According to Xie Yuchuan's instructions, he exchanged those few rough cakes with ingredients for five heavy laborers.
The five people clutched the food in their hands tightly, followed Xie Wuying with confused faces, and thanked Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan waved his hand and said calmly: "The Xie family is overburdened. I have troubled several brothers to help."
Help?
Oh no!
The five people listened to Xie Yuchuan's words with mixed emotions. They really didn't know what to say at this moment. The escorts made them work and beat and scolded them. The Xie family asked them to help, but they stuttered? ! ! !
The few people who had just worked were exhausted, followed Xie Wuying to a section of the construction site that the official specifically asked the Xie family to be responsible for. The five people were in a trance, taking out the dry food and taking a big bite before working.
The five people were stunned on the spot...
You look at me, I look at you, each of them is biting dry food in their mouths, saliva leaving the corners of their mouths...
Damn it, why is this dry food salty? !
The five people crowded together and excitedly took a bite of the dry food and took a closer look.
Oops!
What are these emerald green salty lumps?
They secretly looked at the guards of the Xie family who were working enthusiastically, and then looked at the dry food with pickles in their hands. They thought in unison, no wonder the Xie family has such good physical strength.
Everyone eats dry food with salty pickles!
The next second, several people devoured a piece of pancake and helped the Xie family with sincerity. Maybe it’s because there is food in the stomach, and the physical energy is quickly replenished. I wonder if it’s because I eat something with salt, which makes me feel more energetic when I work.
The five people silently made up their mind to pay more attention to the Xie family's needs in the future, and maybe there would be such an opportunity again.
People are always prone to follow the herd mentality. Many people were very greedy when they saw the five of them getting the benefits. They were so courageous that they finished their own. They turned around to see that the Xie family still had some left, so they turned around and asked, "What else do you guys want?" I can do any kind of work, as long as I can give you half a piece of cake.”
Zhang Dayi stroked his chin and looked at Xie Yuchuan, who looked up and down at the burly man in front of him.
"Can you help the women carry water?"
"What's so difficult about this."
Except for the first five people, the ones who came later only had pancakes and no pickles. , it was Xie Yuchuan who asked the guard Zhou Chuan to exchange silver melon seeds for the officials.
The officers also scolded the Xie family for being such fools. If they had known this, why not show respect to them earlier? Why do they have to do the most assigned work and have to find others to help.
But Xie Yuchuan had some impressions of the person in front of him during his exile. When he came back from helping the Xie family's female family members, he specifically asked Xie Wuying to give him a dry food with added ingredients.
The other party took his "reward" from Xie Wuying, without even saying thank you, turned around and left, eating as he walked, swallowing it in three or two mouthfuls.
The strong back suddenly stopped in place and paused, turning to look at Xie Wuying.
Xie Wuying was young and was not used to being stared at so suddenly. Fortunately, the man quickly turned his face and strode away.
Xie Wuying rubbed the back of his head: "Hey, this guy really has a personality."
On the other side, since Xie Yuchuan heard the family god's question in his ears, he didn't know how to answer for a long time. He kept moving his hands and thinking about it. After a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I asked Zhang Dayi for advice.
"Sir, do you know how many stones and buckets a 'ton' means?"
"What?"
"Tons."
"Squatting ?”
Master Hanlin, who is rich in knowledge, was stunned by a word of measurement that suddenly popped out of Xie Yuchuan’s mouth.
One old man and one young man, you worked piece by piece and I built it in silence for a while.
Zhang Dayi felt ashamed and said: "General, I forgive my ignorance, I really don't know how much squatting is."
Xie Yuchuan thought for a while.
"Xie Yuchuan: The family god forgives me. I don't know how many stones or buckets this ton costs. I may not be able to recover."
I have been shopping around the huge wholesale market for most of the time and have already made many orders with wholesalers. Candy Tuhua saw the message from Xie Yuchuan and stopped in the middle aisle.
Then she opened the search engine...
She had just asked casually before, but she didn’t expect Xie Yuchuan to ask so seriously that she couldn’t help but look up how much one ton was equal to in ancient times. weight.
The first thing that pops out is the ancient unit of measurement for measuring one stone.
Well... each dynasty and each generation is different.
Take a middle number, one stone weighs about 100 kilograms?
Tu Hua thought for a while and sent a message to Xie Yuchuan:
“Forget it, let’s not mention that, let’s change it to something you can understand. A few stones of sugar are enough for you to trade?”
After listening to this, Xie Yuchuan’s expression finally changed clearly and distinctly.
He had an intuition and didn't know whether his guess was right or not.
He always felt that the "ton" mentioned by the family god seemed to be far more than a stone.
