Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 101, Germination

"Finally we're going to the capital~"

Tian Erniu looked at the towering city wall not far away, and stopped to take a breath.

"Tsk tsk, the walls of this Beijing city are so high, it is worthy of being the capital of Ming Dynasty."

"The last time I came here, I didn't take a good look at it. There should be a moat outside the city wall."

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Zhao Houzi couldn't help but be impressed by its size and majesty.

"The last time we came, we were all refugees. We were cold and hungry, so we didn't have the mood to look at this city wall. We were only thinking about how to sneak into the city."

Duhu looked at Tian Erniu and Zhao Houzi, and sighed slightly in his heart, the city is still the same city, and the place is still the same place, but now everyone's situation and mood are completely different, and they have the leisure to admire the city wall tall.

"When I waited outside the city wall for three full days, the dry food I brought was gone, and the clothes I wore were freezing to death. At that time, I hated the city wall so much that it would collapse immediately. prevent me from entering the city."

"Let's go~ let's go, take a good look around this capital today."

Shaking their heads slightly, the four continued to walk towards the capital again.

Soon, they came to Xibianmen, and now Xibianmen is very lively, mainly workers coming and going from various coal workshops, convoys transporting briquettes and so on.

Dahu looked at the guards guarding the west gate, and he recognized the leader at a glance. Back then, Dahu begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to let him in, but he never got permission.

At that time, Duan even wished to kill the guard who guarded the gate. He was a refugee, just to survive, to go to the city to ask for food, why did the other party make things difficult for him.

"It's all about responsibility, there's nothing to say."

Looking at the leader of the guard who wanted to kill him once, Duan can now somewhat understand the difficulty of the other party.

Working here in Xishan, he also clearly knows that some things are not in his own hands. When doing things, he must follow the rules and principles, and there is no rule without rules.

As the guard of the capital, it is also his duty to stick to his post. It is also an order from his superiors to prevent refugees from entering the city, and it is not because he deliberately makes things difficult for himself.

Maybe if he let himself in, his own job would be lost, and the whole family would be helpless.

When thinking of this, the accumulative hostility in Duhu's heart also disappeared completely. Not only did he learn how to do things here in Xishan, he also learned a lot of things and a lot of truths in the night class, which made him more aware. Affair.

Without any accidents, the four of them entered the capital very smoothly following the team that came in and out.

"It's so lively~"

"There are so many people~"

As soon as they entered the capital, the four of them were quickly attracted by the prosperity of the capital. The streets of the capital were full of people and traffic, and there were various small businesses shouting one after another.

Tian Erniu's eyes were dazzled, and there was a dazzling array of things, commodities, shops, food stalls, etc., which made people overwhelmed, and there were so many people around him, it was really lively.

"This is candied haws. I heard it's delicious. I saw the landlord's son eat it once when I was young~"

"It's candied haws, I heard it's very sweet~"

Zhao Houzi pointed to an old man selling candied haws and said, he couldn't help swallowing.

"How about we buy one and try it?"

Silly Bear is now a rich man, so he went directly to the owner who sells candied haws and asked, "How do you sell candied haws?"

"It's very cheap, 1 penny a string, do you want to sell a few strings and give them to the kids?"

The old man looked at the silly bear and asked with a smile.

"Come on four skewers~"

Upon hearing this, Sha Xiong took out four copper coins, picked out four bunches of candied haws, and distributed them to Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi, and Dahu, and said, "I invite you to eat~"

"Thank you silly bear~"

"Thank you bro~"

"It's still a silly bear~"

When Tian Erniu and the three heard it, they all smiled and thanked each other, and then picked up the candied haws and tasted them carefully.

"It's so sweet and delicious~"

"So this is the taste of candied haws~"

“Yummy~”

The four of them praised while eating, although the candied haws are cheap and very common, but for them, the lowest-level military households, it is really a luxury.

This is also a treat for a silly bear, otherwise Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi, and Dahu would not be willing to spend money to have a taste.

Eating the sweet candied haws, the four of them wandered around the capital casually, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden and was very curious about everything.

"It turns out that this is rouge powder. All the women in this city use this thing. I said why there is always a fragrance, and everyone is very beautiful. So it is this thing."

"Isn't that right? Misses from rich families all use this. This thing is very expensive. I saw it just now. This small box costs 500 Wen~"

"My dear, it's really expensive~"

"This steamed stuffed bun is so delicious, it would be great if I could eat delicious stuffed stuffed buns every day~"

"It's delicious, but it's really too expensive. This bun costs 1 penny, and I can finish it in one bite. I can eat ten of them in one meal~"

Tian Erniu licked the soup from the corner of his mouth, still relishing the delicious buns just now.

"I can eat dozens~"

Silly Bear is holding a few steamed buns in his hand. He is the richest, and he likes to eat the most. Whenever he comes across snacks, he will buy as many as possible. His stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he will never be full.

"The cloth in the capital is actually cheaper than the cloth in our town. Our town sells it for 220 renminbi a piece, but here you can buy it for 200 renminbi. It's really unscrupulous."

"No, many things in this capital are cheaper than where we are~"

The four of them kept wandering around in the capital city, lamenting that the city has a complete range of goods, and the expensive things are so expensive that people can't match them. At the same time, after careful comparison, they found that many things were actually cheaper than those at home.

"This capital city is good. If you have money, you can live comfortably. You can live comfortably in everything. If you can live here for a long time in the future, it will be great."

After shopping for a day, Zhao Houzi also sighed.

"Dream, houses in this capital are very expensive, and the cheapest houses cost tens of taels of silver. What's more, we are all military households, and we have been military households for generations."

Du Hu looked at Zhao Houzi, and really couldn't bear to break his dream.

In fact, why doesn't he want to live in the capital? The bustling world here is really charming. Just thinking about his military background, the cost of living here, and the high housing prices, he immediately buried this thought in his heart.

"Everything is possible ~ as long as we dare to fight, there may not be no hope."

Tian Erniu patted Zhao Houzi on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Didn't I learn a word in the evening class last time, what is it called a prince, a general, Xiangning? As long as we work hard and are always ready, Once we have the opportunity, we may not have the possibility of turning around."

When he said this, Tian Erniu's eyes were very determined, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
