Capital Datang

Chapter 365 Discussion in the store

Hearing his family members ask him again why he came back early, Cui Er suddenly stood up, poured a glass of wine for his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, according to the original agreement, I have to work for three years before I can come back, but Some time ago, my elder brother made meritorious service in the army, so he exchanged me for his military merit, although there is no thanks between brothers, but I want to toast to elder brother, this time, sister-in-law, you will drink it for me!"

Hearing that it was Cui Da who exchanged Cui Er back with his military exploits, Cui's mother and others were relieved, and Cui Da's daughter-in-law was also very proud, she picked up the wine glass and drank the wine on behalf of her husband, and then said immediately: "It's good that the second brother can come back. Your elder brother can't help himself in the army. Naturally, he hopes that you can go home and take care of him, so there is no thank you. I just don't know how your elder brother is doing in the army?" ,

When Cui Da's daughter-in-law said the last sentence, she also showed a look of worry on her face. After all, Cui Da was different from Cui Er. At the beginning, Cui Er was only going out to work, and there was generally no danger, but Cui Da was He has to fight desperately. When His Royal Highness King Qi attacked Baekje last time, Cui Da was transferred to the battlefield. There has been no news about him. Now he finally knows that he is still alive and has made meritorious deeds, but the military deeds are not that great. Well, I don't know if he was injured?

Seeing sister-in-law's worried expression, Cui Er smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. This time I came back from Dengzhou by boat and passed by Sibi on the way. After Jiji, he was transferred to various parts of Baekje to suppress the rebellion. The eldest brother made meritorious service at that time and was not injured. However, he was later transferred to Sibi. He is now receiving training. I heard that he will not be able to Going to the battlefield again... First, and the eldest brother is now the captain, and he is in charge of 100 people. It is so majestic!" "Look

"Really!" Daughter-in-law Cui heard that her husband had not only made meritorious service, but had also been promoted.Immediately, she was pleasantly surprised, and at the same time secretly thought that she finally married the wrong person. Although she has suffered a bit now, if Cui Da can really become an official, then she can also be the wife of Shangguan.Capital Datang 365

When Cui's mother heard that her son had become an officer, she also prayed to the Buddha again and again, thanking the Buddha for his blessing.Although the three children still don't understand the meaning of being an official, this does not prevent them from being happy with the adults.

After the family was happy for Cui Da to become an officer for a while, Cui's mother asked Cui Er about his experience in the past year.When Cui Er talked about his experience of going out, he was also very excited. He even said that he was lucky.It's just that his last sentence of truth aroused the dissatisfaction of his mother's wife.

It turned out that after Cui Er was recruited, he immediately took a boat from the port where he came to sea, and then went all the way south.First, I went to Dengzhou, where I worked as a coolie for a month, and then traveled southward by boat for a long time, and then arrived at an island called Taiwan.It's just an island, but the size of this island is huge, and it is said that it is compared with the Silla country they used to be.Not much less.

After Cui Er was sent to Taiwan, he worked in a port city called Keelung.This time I was mainly helping to build the city, and the work was tiring at the beginning.However, because Cui Er was able to understand Chinese when he opened the shop, and he could already speak some when he was in Dengzhou, he was appreciated by the foreman and asked him to help manage other Silla workers. Later, because the foreman thought the food on the construction site was difficult Cui Er happened to have opened a restaurant, and cooking was his strong point, so he was sent to manage the food. When he received the notice and came back, the foreman was still very reluctant to part with him, and even offered to give him extra money. Let him stay voluntarily, but unfortunately Cui Er is a family-oriented person, so he still refused the foreman's kindness and returned by boat.

Of course, what Cui Er said must be somewhat different from the experience above. For example, when he first arrived in Dengzhou, he was exhausted from working, but he had to work under the urging of the foreman, otherwise he would have no food. Another example is when he arrived in Taiwan. , because of the acclimatization of the soil and water, he was seriously ill and almost died there.Cui Er just mentioned all these things in one stroke, and did not elaborate, after all, the matter is over, and it would make my mother and wife sad to say it, so it is better not to say it.

You can ignore the hardships you have experienced, but Cui Er talked about all kinds of experiences along the way, such as the whaling ship I saw in Dengzhou, a giant whale several feet long could not escape this kind of ship In addition, there are trains in Dengzhou, which can run on the road by eating only a kind of black stone without using cattle or horses.

The above are all big aspects. In addition, Cui Er also told a lot of anecdotes that he saw in Datang, such as the people there eating white noodles and rice every day, and even fed them to the dogs when they couldn’t finish eating. In addition, the canned food they seldom got was also on the dining table of others. Most of the people on the street are well-dressed, and there are also people who ride around on two-wheeled vehicles and so on.

Cui Er's knowledge made the whole family enjoy listening to it, and the children were even more fascinated by it. They even ate a few extra bowls of rice. When they went to bed at night, they still pestered Cui Er to tell stories instead of Ken goes to sleep.

After finally putting all three children to sleep, Cui Er discussed with his wife and sister-in-law about reopening the store. After all, he had to live after returning, and Jincheng not only restored its former prosperity, but even surpassed it. So there must be customers after opening the store. As for the money needed to open the store, this is not a problem. Cui Er works with food to pay for his wages, but he doesn't have much money. I gave it to him, and there are more than a dozen of them together, which is enough for them to open a shop.

Cui Er's proposal to open a store was approved by the whole family, and he began to get busy the next day, but the neighbors around him also came to ask him about things, especially the families of the men who went with him, and they wanted to know more about him. The news about the man, while Cui Er brought a letter back for them.

With the presence of all the neighbors, Cui Er spread the news of the re-opening of the store by the way, and these neighbors were also very surprised when they heard that Cui Da had been promoted to an officer, and many people even offered to help, so Cui Er's small shop reopened soon.

When Cui Er's restaurant got back on track, the business was more prosperous than before. In the end, Cui Er simply took care of two twelve or thirteen-year-old boys to help greet the guests.Originally, he also wanted to recruit two older ones. Unfortunately, the recruitment was too ruthless a while ago. Most of the men over the age of 14 were recruited away, and the remaining ones were all doing more sought-after jobs. He couldn't dig them at all. Many of the remaining [-] and [-] were working in the factory. He was able to find these two young men because he was dug out of the factory with great difficulty because of their relatives.

Early this morning, Cui Er's restaurant was already full of people, and the shop had already prepared porridge and steamed buns. Those who go out to work in the morning get up early to cook, and they will go to his shop to drink a bowl of porridge. Call for two steamed buns, eat one, put the other in your arms, and prepare to eat it when you are hungry for a long time.

Cui Er sat behind the counter and settled accounts while listening to the conversations of the customers in the store. These people who got up to work in the morning were all locals, and they didn’t care much when they spoke. For example, someone not far from him said: The gang of bastards all moved to our Silla, which is obviously using our land as a good person, after all, compared with poor places like Baekje, our land here is much more fertile."

Most of North Korea and Central Korea are the original territory of Silla, and the people here are also the people of the original Silla. Although it was divided into two states by Li Yin, the name of Silla is still there. The queen of Silla, Kim Seung-man He is still in power, so these Silla people usually only regard themselves as Silla people, and do not recognize North Korea, China and South Korea at all.

The voice of the speaker was a little louder, and the people at the surrounding tables could also hear it. One of the hot-tempered guys patted the table and said, "What are the Baekje people? If they dare to come to Silla, I will send their Get your head off!"

As soon as this person spoke, the people around couldn't tell whether he was speaking the truth or bragging. Anyway, they were all applauded, and some even called him a hero, and the person who spoke was also very proud, as if he had really killed him. Baekje people are average.

But at this time, some well-informed people said: "Everyone knows something, although our place is much better than that poor place in Baekje, but the so-called homeland is hard to leave, and the Han people have opened many factories. It's not like people have to move to survive, I think all this is just someone from above doing something wrong!"

Although this person didn't say it clearly, everyone present knows that the so-called superiors actually refer to the Qi Palace. Except for the Qi Palace that actually ruled Silla and Baekje, no one can move all the people from South Korea. to them.Capital Datang 365

"Hey, King Qi is the queen's husband-in-law. For the sake of the queen, we can't say some things clearly, but we have to say some things. The bastards of Baekje and our Silla are both played by others. I think They don't want to manage our place well at all, but they put us in captivity like cattle and horses. Men go out to work for them, and women also go to work in the factories they run. Even children are no exception. Pass it on, how is it any different from those slaves?" A person with ulterior motives said, and then sneered at the people around him a few times, making the hearts of those who listened even colder.

"This brother is right. Our Jincheng is much more prosperous than Sibi, but King Qi is always stationed in Sibi, and after being divided into three states, South Korea state is obviously different from ours. The army and the best officials Most of them are there, and I also heard that the governor of Nanhan State is the person most valued by King Qi. On the other hand, although there are many officials in the two states, the governor has not yet been finalized, and the army is even rarer. , Now the people from South Korea are moved here, and only Han people are allowed to enter South Korea, which obviously treats our place as a dispensable place." Another Jincheng citizen said, and the people who heard it were all They all applauded to express their approval.

However, when the discussions in Cui Er's store were lively, there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps from the street outside the store. Anyone with experience knew that only the army of Datang could make such a sound of orderly footsteps.Pedestrians on the street also hid to both sides one after another, a long passage opened in the middle of the road, and a luxurious carriage, under the guard of a Tang army, slowly drove into Jincheng.To be continued. . .
