Ancient Fortune Records

"It's time to eat! Let's eat! Come and line up!"

Not long after Shen Li and his party arrived at the mining area, the small officials in the mining area started yelling at the workers to eat.

The mining area is bitter and tiring, so even if the food at noon is not refined, it will definitely fill your stomach.A line of workers lined up for a long time, and the workers who had already had their turn joyfully held wooden trays. There were several positions on the tray, which could be used to put steamed buns or a large wooden bowl, which was fixed on the upper left corner of the tray. The circle fits just right and won't slide off the tray.

This is Shen Li's improvement based on the eating trays made in some modern canteens, making it easier for workers to pick up meals.

White flour steamed buns are piled high, and the gratifying white steam, engulfed in aroma, seems to transform into a huge hand, pushing the workers who were too tired to walk forward.

King Rong shrugged his nose. He wasn't very hungry at first, but seeing so many men sweating from the tip of their noses and eating hard, he also felt a little hungry.

Shen Li looked at the place where the meals were distributed and nodded secretly.The small officials here are all promoted from the bottom. They cherish this hard-won position, so they have done everything they are told. The lunch that the mining workers should have is not excessively exploited.

In addition to the white flour steamed buns, there are also several pots of chicken soup, which are placed next to the steamer where the steamed buns are placed. The taste of the chicken soup is even more overbearing. In addition to chicken, there are whole eggs in the chicken soup. Everyone can eat one.

Not far from the mining area, a few men happily came over with a few jars. They were freshly pickled pickles by the cook. There were all kinds of flavors, including radish sprouts, dried radish, cabbage, jar beans, etc. There are more pickles, like bacon and salted shrimp, a little less, and there are only two jars in total.

As soon as the pickle jar was moved over, it was warmly welcomed by the workers.Don't underestimate these pickles. The fragrant and refreshing pickles are very popular in the local area, but every household will pickle them by themselves, so few people do the business of selling pickles.

Most of the pickles are old people. They are too old to do any heavy work. They have been pickling for a lifetime and know how to make pickles delicious.So I discussed with the younger generation at home, and came to the mining area together, and made pickled pickles and helped clean the dishes four or five days a month.

Afraid of the heat, the workers put their shirts on the floor, sat on their dirty clothes, and happily enjoyed their lunch.

It was hot, so they took white flour steamed buns and chicken soup that was so fresh that people wanted to swallow their tongues, and slowly ate their first steamed buns.Immediately afterwards, they will eat the eggs with great care, eat the fragrant chicken, and then slowly finish the chicken soup.

After eating, they can ask the soup guy over there for a bowl of chicken soup.Then the remaining four white flour steamed buns on the tray can be stuffed into the middle of these steamed buns with the pickles in the jar to make pickled vegetable buns. If you feel salty in your mouth, you can drink some chicken soup to lighten your mouth.

Such a simple and delicious lunch was specially provided by Shen Li, so the workers knew better than others that Mr. Shen is a really good official.

The meal in the evening is usually rice porridge, with some peanuts or broad beans in the rice porridge, and another flatbread with sauce, which is deliberately spread thicker. After finishing eating at night, you can go back to rest .However, many people who work in the mining area are reluctant to eat that big cake, and most of them choose to take it home for the elders or children at home.

"My lord!" A small official saluted Shen Li hastily and respectfully.

Shen Li nodded, "You don't need to be too polite, tell me first, how is the progress today?"

"At this speed, you can quickly reach the amount of coal you want. However, the mining area is getting deeper and deeper, and the inside is really too dark. Even with torch lighting, it is really difficult to go deep."

Shen Li smiled and said: "It's nothing, just collect the ore from the surface of the open-pit mine, and our task will be completed."

Coal mine resources are limited, so he had to mention to the emperor that they should only be mined once in a while, so that some iron tools could be smelted, and excessive mining should not be allowed.

The little official was a little worried. He was afraid that the mine would stop mining and his official position would be over.

However, he felt that recently it has been rumored that Master Shen wants to refine the magic weapon, not only does he need manpower, he also needs someone who is strong and has management experience. He looked at his recently bulging biceps and thought to himself, as long as he works hard It shows that he can continue to follow the adults to do things!

Shen Li didn't know what this little official was thinking, but he was quickly yelled away by His Royal Highness King Rong.

There was a lot of noise in front of them, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
