Chapter 546: World Ceremony (B)
On the archway at the entrance of Linzi Snack Street, the three big characters of Food City written by Lu Di and his father Qi Jinggong were eye-catching.
The night market was banned for a period of time because of Yangsheng's administration, and then Lu Di destroyed Chen Heng, and the snack street opened again.
Although it is not night at this time, the street is already full of people, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, and it is very lively.
A handsome young man with a weak crown and a crooked bun, he held a folding fan in his hand, followed by four or five warriors who protected him.
Everywhere the young man went, he couldn't help but step forward and check curiously, and after reading it, he always sighed.
After strolling around all morning, the young man with a crooked hair was a little hungry, and when he looked up, there was a restaurant called sister-in-law noodles not far away, so he walked over there.
At this time, the business in the sister-in-law noodle restaurant was very hot, and the owner of the sister-in-law noodle restaurant was Jia Ren, who had appeared twice.
Once he violently beat Lu Di who ate the "overlord meal" in Wuyanyi, once he shouted that he wanted to avenge Lu Di, and finally ran away with his tail between his legs, saying that he was not a person who talked about state affairs.
Sister-in-law noodle restaurant?
Yes, you can't call it a noodle shop!
Because the noodle shop has closed down and replaced it with a much larger noodle shop.
The noodle restaurant is divided into two floors, and each floor can accommodate as many as 15 tables.
As soon as the young man with crooked hair entered the museum, he was shocked by the fragrance of his sister-in-law's noodles.
He took a deep breath of the aroma and looked up at the people around him.
I saw a burly Qi man holding green onions in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand pulling the legendary sister-in-law's noodles into his mouth.
The sister-in-law's noodles, each noodle is about three centimeters wide and about one centimeter thick, with butter and yellow on top, which is very strong to eat, and there is a large spoonful of chopped sauce meat in the noodle bowl.
Just looking at it makes you have an appetite.
The crooked young man subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the little second brother, who was busy sending the newly cooked sister-in-law noodles to all parties, saw that a new guest was coming, and after hurriedly delivering the noodles, he greeted him.
The crooked young man found a seat by the window, and then asked the warriors who were guarding him to sit down as well.
"The Jia family, what do they eat is the legendary sister-in-law's noodles?" The crooked young man said.
When the little second brother heard this, his face immediately turned red shyly, and he said, "Nobleman, don't call me that, I'm just a lowly hired person, not a Jia person."
The crooked young man was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly, the Jia people are already very cheap, is there anyone who is cheaper than the Jia people?
Could it be a slave?
Oh no!
If it is a slave, how can it be ascended to the "elegant hall".
The crooked young man was very puzzled, and the second brother said: "Noble, listening to your accent, it should be far away from our Qi country!" Don't you know that in our Qi country, there are several kinds of people according to the hierarchy: king, qing, doctor, scholar, farmer, worker, jia, merchant, lang, and slave."
"Among them, ronins are divided into four types: tenants, servants, hired people, and beggars."
"Because of my background, I'm a hired person among the ronins"
When the second brother said that he was hired, he was not disappointed, but was very excited and happy, which made the crooked young man feel extremely puzzled, and he first asked: "Ronin, what is a ronin?" ”
After hearing the words of the crooked young man, the second brother explained: "A ronin is a kind of homeless person who has been eliminated from slavery after serving ten years of slavery, and this kind of person is called a ronin."
Hearing this, the crooked young man nodded and said: "At this point, I have heard of it, your Qi country has the policy of 'ten-year slavery', but isn't this ten-year slavery system calculated from the age of eighteen?" ”
"E-view, you're only about twenty years old now, how can you become a ronin?"
The crooked young man continued to wonder.
The second brother said proudly when he heard this: "That's because I took up arms and stood with the monarch when Chen Heng's dog thieves rebelled, and after the war, the monarch pardoned my slave status and made me a ronin."
The crooked young man nodded when he heard this, and he had also heard about the fact that slaves could be pardoned if they made meritorious deeds.
Seeing that the little second brother was very proud, the crooked young man said again: "Are there many people like you who have escaped from slavery?" And got rid of slavery and became a ronin, so how can a ronin survive? ”
The little second brother looked like he was born to be a teacher, and he was tireless in teaching, especially looking at the crooked young man in front of him who had an aristocratic atmosphere, he was better as a teacher, he said: "Many, of course a lot!" I know about 50,000 or 60,000 people! ”
"As for becoming a ronin, how do you survive? Haha, noble man, look at me, aren't you surviving very well? Speaking of this, the little second brother deliberately showed the crooked young man his clothes with good materials.
The crooked young man was stunned when he heard this, and then he was amused by his stupidity, yes, didn't the person in front of him say that he was a hired person among the ronins.
The second brother said at this time: "People like me are mixed poorly, they can only work here in Jiaren, in exchange for some money and food, they are good, some of them have become servants of the official family's family and doctors, and some have become tenant farmers, tenant farmers!" ”
The little second brother, especially when it comes to the word tenant farmer, seems extremely envious.
It was as if becoming a sharecropper was his whole ideal in life.
"Tenant farmers? What is a sharecropper? The crooked-haired young man was puzzled again when he heard this unfamiliar term.
The ronin is the kind of person who has escaped slavery and is homeless, so what is a tenant farmer?
Could it be a homeless farmer?
The second brother explained: "Tenant farmers are those who cultivate land for those landed nobles. ”
The young man with a crooked hair was even more puzzled when he heard this, and he asked, "What is the difference between that and a slave who works on the farm in the well field?" ”
The little second brother was obviously a little excited when he heard the crooked young man's words, and he said, "The difference? Of course there is a difference! The difference is huge! ”
"Slaves work in the well fields for free, but tenant farmers are not, they divide the land of the nobles, and only need to give a certain amount of food and property to the nobles and the monarch every year, then the rest is their own, and after becoming tenants, the monarch will give them a homestead as their permanent residence, Yongye residence, that is home, home, noble you know, home!"
Saying that, the little second brother's eyes shook with hope, and tears flowed down.
The crooked-haired young man was silent when he heard this.
The little second brother thought that he had offended the crooked young man by saying something, and hurriedly apologized, and the crooked young man smiled and said: "Little second brother, come to my sister-in-law, yes, there are also your Qi country's special green onions, we have one bowl each, oh, no, two bowls."
The second brother was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted in the restaurant: At table No. 6, the nobleman asked for ten bowls of sister-in-law noodles, plus green jade and white green onions......
On the counter, Jia Ren, who was holding the small abacus invented by Lu Di, originally saw the little second brother and the people at table No. 6 stumbling his teeth, thinking that he was lazy, and was thinking about how to deduct his wages with this, but after Xiao Er's sudden report, he was suddenly overjoyed, and he took the abacus and began to snap and calculate again.
"Prince, are you alright?" A warrior next to the crooked young man looked at the young man in deep thought and couldn't help but care.
