Chapter 437 Two old men

"Is the money paid once a month?" Some people worry that the court will only pay the money after the work is done, and if some people come back to farm halfway, then the work will be for nothing.

Why aren't peasant men willing to go out and find work?

Just because they were looking for short-term workers, there was a delay in the construction period, and they had to quit because they were thinking about the farm work in the field.

In order to prevent people from picking things halfway, some people let the work go out, and will not pay until the work is finished. They will also pick and choose, make a little mistake, and try to pay less.

And those who quit halfway do not get paid. Who told you to quit halfway?

Or because there is too much work, if the construction period is up but the work is not finished, and you are still in a hurry to go home, then you will have no money to receive.

So that later everyone was looking for short-term work, and many people did it together. If there was a rush job, other people would be invited to help. After the work was done, the money was collected and shared equally. .

Country men don't care too much, and generally the work they can do is some physical work.

"Of course, it's issued once a month and never in arrears. This is a matter for the court. Do you think your poor relatives built the house?" Go home and farm, no one will dare to stop you at that time!"

With the words of the scribe, the others are at ease.

Many people came to sign up, but there are still many people waiting and watching.

Those who can sign up at this time are basically those in the city who rely on part-time jobs to earn money to support their families, and those who are hesitant and still waiting to see are those with land, and they have to see the situation.

Less than three days after Tie Qing came back from Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei brought three people to knock on their door.

Because Sun Kong went back to take care of his wife and children, Tie Qing installed a "door bell" for her house!

The very simple one, a small hole is cut in the wall, a hemp rope is passed through, one end is outside, tied with a big bow, the other end is inside, and a copper bell is tied, as long as the rope is pulled, the bell will It will ring, but the sound is not loud, it should be too noisy.

It's too small and the sound is so small that you can't hear it, so it's just right.

Tie Qing came out when he heard the movement, opened the small door on the gate, and they used the small door to go back and forth: "Brother uncle?"

"En." Xiao Wei nodded and came in: "Three please."

Tie Qing glanced behind him, three old men came in!

Really old man!

The old man who came in first had white beard and hair, a face like jujubes, and eyebrows like lying silkworms... well, he was similar to the martial sage Guan Gong who stood in the temple he had seen before, except that he had black hair and black hair. Beard, he has white hair and white beard, that white beard hangs down to the chest and abdomen, white as snow!

A pair of red phoenix eyes, when looking at people, there is a sense of arrogance coldly, it is the kind of real arrogance, not high-mindedness.

The old man was wearing a navy blue brocade padded jacket and a pair of tiger leather boots. Although he was in poor health at such an old age, his waist was straight and his ribs were tied to his body!

At first glance, he looks like a trainer!

To put it bluntly, he is even more fanciful than Zheng Guogong Lynch.

Lynch is much younger than him.

"This is Guan Dadao, Grand Master Guan." Xiao Wei introduced Tie Qing.

Tie Qing sniffed, and a farmer came over very casually: "Grand Master Guan."

Grand Master, when you hear this title, you will be full of a strong taste of a traitor, but this one has the face of a loyal minister.

The second person who came in from behind, okay, dry old man!

This old man also has snow-white hair, combed a small hairpin on his head, and fixed it with a wooden hairpin. Tie Qing didn't like the wooden hairpin at first, but later he heard from his uncle that the hairpin was made of golden nanmu , This thing is not simple, it is a control product, this thing is used for two purposes, one is to make the dragon chair that the emperor sits on, and the other is to make the emperor's coffin.

If other people use this thing without permission, one side can be beheaded, and the whole family will have to be exiled for three thousand miles.

But this thing made the emperor agree to make a hairpin for the old man to wear on his head.

It's still that yellowish look, Tie Qing can't tell what's wrong anyway.

But the old man likes it, and this old man doesn't know what he's thinking, he's wearing a straight blue dress, a pair of cotton shoes with thousand-ply soles, and he doesn't even wear a jade pendant on his plain and clean body.

The most important thing is that the old man is not bad in size, but he always has a stooped waist, dry face, gray eyebrows and beard, especially the beard, which turned out to be a very old-fashioned goatee.

Xiao Wei introduced at the side: "This is Grand Fu Kong Chaoqi."

Tie Qing still greeted in the same way: "Hello, Mr. Kong."

The last person to come in, Tie Qing was startled!

Because this person was dressed in black and had an ordinary face. He belonged to the kind of person who would be thrown into the crowd and no one would notice him without making a sound.

He has a dexterous figure, and although his breath is intermittent, it is silent. This person looks good in skill, but his body is full of internal injuries.

When looking at people, they always look at one or two things, and this outfit is just a suit of clothes, not even any accessories, and the thin-soled fast boots on the feet, it is more like a quack killer if he is a member of the court.

Indifferent, indifferent, deserted!

With gray hair and no beard, if it wasn't for his official position, Tie Qing would have thought he was an internal eunuch!

But obviously, this is not, just a half old man.

Tie Qing was looking at him, and he was also looking at Tie Qing.

"This is Taibao Zhou Rusheng." Xiao Wei introduced him.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Taibao." Tie Qing still had the same attitude, holding his hands in his hands, standing unevenly on his feet, his body was stable, and his center of gravity was shifted a little, as if he could attack anytime, anywhere, and he seemed to be able to attack anytime, anywhere. It looks like I can evacuate.

Zhou Rusheng frowned.

He has always been very accurate in seeing people, but when looking at this country guy named Tie Qing, he is somewhat confused.

He is obviously a country guy, but his neither humble nor overbearing attitude is intriguing, and his demeanor is not rustic.

The other two people also couldn't see through the livid.

The temperament of this country man is not like that of a countryman. He has a majestic posture that seems to be nothing, and a powerful and ethereal aura.

If you say it's a worldly expert... but who has seen such a young worldly expert?

Tie Qing's age here is almost thirty, but he still has a face in his twenties, which hasn't changed over the years.

The same is true for Xiao Geer, probably because he has been with Tie Qing for a long time, and it is a husband and wife relationship, Xiao Geer still looks like the time.

It's just that everyone is together every day, and no one cares about this.

Occasionally someone would mention his youth, but everyone would say that Tie Qing loves Fu Lang, and people laugh that Fu Lang lives a good life and doesn't need to work too much.

So when the three of them saw Tie Qing, they felt that this person was too young, because Xiao Wei told them that Tie Qing was almost 30 years old.

But it looks like twenty.

Xiao Wei looked at the four people looking at each other: "How about we go in and talk?"

What is there to see standing at the gate?

"Yes, please, please come inside." Tie Qing greeted them: "Come in, sit on the kang."

His house was solidly built, and it was quite different. Three people came in and took a look at it. The large heated kang of the Northeast family can accommodate ten or eight people when they come.

Tie Qing brewed a pot of Dried Shaguo for them himself, but didn't make any tea at all.

Xiao Wei took a sip and drank it: "Your house is out of tea?"

"The three of them are not suitable for drinking tea." Tie Qing said: "Don't drink it in the future, just drink my dried fruit."

"This...?" Xiao Wei was embarrassed.

The dried sago from Tie Qing’s family means that the sago tree in his family bears fruit, because it is too sour and few people like to eat it, so they are cut and dried to make dried sago. Although it is delicious, he thinks it is better than his own. The ebony soup is much better, but these are all country things, why did the three of them fall in love with it as soon as they met?

Tie Qing is still a bit reluctant!

The fruit trees in his house are full of vitality. If it weren't for this, how could he not sell a single fruit and keep all of them for himself?

In autumn, the plums and grapes at home are only given to those close to them, and there is basically nothing left.

The dried shaguo is still green because they are here to help the uncle, so they are taken out to soak in water, otherwise, they will be given that kind of lifeless tea, which is delicious, but After drinking, it is estimated that these three people will not be able to sleep at night.

Even keep getting up at night.

"It's okay." Kong Chaoqi waved his hand: "Little friend, soaking dried fruit in water is very good. I haven't had such a delicious drink for a long time."

He said and took a big sip: "It feels good!"

In fact, Kong Chaoqi felt very comfortable because some vitality entered his body. He felt that the dried fruit was delicious when soaked in water. In the past, this old man didn't even like to drink tribute tea.

And Zhou Rusheng took a big gulp and said, "Well, it's pretty good."

Guan Dadao took several sips: "It's very good, but I think this dessert is better."

With that said, he also ate several snacks.

Xiao Wei was dumbfounded!

The dim sum of the Tie family must not be as good as his Zhenbeihou's mansion!

He remembered that today the butler said that in order to cater for the tastes of the three elders, today's tea is Dahongpao, and the desserts are served with sesame halva and hazelnut brittle.

These two snacks are sweet and go well with black tea.

Sesame Crisp is the taste of central Beijing, and Hazelnut Crisp is a snack in the north.

The taste is pure and the ingredients are exquisite, but these three didn't eat a single bite!

What is Tie Qing's dessert?

Uncle Jin’s Luguo is made with his own corn flour, mixed with wheat flour, and brushed with his own freshly squeezed soybean oil.

And a dish of dry honey cake.

The honey used is the wild honey of black bees collected from Tieqingjin Mountain.

Sweet but not greasy, pleasant aroma.

But to be honest, this kind of dim sum looks so-so, and the ingredients are good, but when no one eats it, who would believe that it is delicious?

I guess the taste is just so-so!

But Guan Dadao ate several of them.

Tie Qing didn't know, but Xiao Wei knew, Guan Dadao didn't have much appetite, don't look at his straight waist, in fact, he lost a lot of weight, the emperor dispatched the royal chef in the palace to cook for him at his home , all the ingredients are taken from the imperial dining room. To put it bluntly, he can eat delicacies from mountains and seas.

But he just can't eat it!

One would vomit if he ate something wrong, first he vomited the food he ate, then sour water, and finally he vomited blood when there was nothing to vomit.

The emperor was frightened to death, the imperial doctor and the imperial cook stayed by his side all day long.

Even so, he couldn't eat anything. He wasn't like this before. Xiao Wei saw this with his own eyes. He was wielding a Daguan knife.

However, in his old age, he became a sick child. Guan Dadao himself felt incredible. He used to think that there was not enough food, but now he felt that there was too much food.

And that person who didn't know the so-called said that he had killed too much, and was found by those dead ghosts.

People who say that, don't need to close the big knife, they will be dealt with by the emperor.

Among the people Guan Dadao killed, which one was not his enemy?To sympathize with the enemy is to rebel?

For this matter, several censors in Beijing were dismissed from their posts and demoted to common people. Not to mention that there is no hope in this life, their sons and grandchildren will not have the opportunity to become officials in the imperial examination.

Because the son of a common man, it is also impossible to study in the imperial examination within three generations.
