Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yu Zhiheng turned over. Although his body was tired at this time, his mind was getting clearer. Deep in his heart, a thought suddenly burst out: "Maybe life shouldn't be like this, and there can be a better way."  In those days, instead of like now, everyone is like a shuttle on a textile machine, driven by invisible whips to spin crazily. Workers are worried that one day they will be kicked out of the factory and thrown into the army of unemployment.  Women become prostitutes and men become beggars. "The meat is so delicious, have another bowl!" Yu Zhiheng was startled by the sudden voice from behind. He turned over and realized that it was Li Su who was talking in his sleep.  A smile appeared on his face, it was obvious that he was having a sweet dream.  "This kid can't even sleep well!" Yu Zhiheng smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the other person's hair, sighed, and closed his eyes.  The next morning, the workers ate a few buns and started working. After a day and night of loading and unloading, by noon, there was less than a quarter of the rice left on the ship. Jiang Zhiqing was very satisfied with this speed.  , this is the first time Chen Zaixing has given himself a task that he has completely completed.  Jiang Zhiqing knew very well that compared to the grandeur of his master's ongoing undertaking, his trustworthy team was very limited. As long as he could handle this matter well, what awaited him would be his own responsibility.  "Master Jiang!" The foreman came over with a smile: "You see, the rice is almost unloaded. Why don't you let the workers work harder and have lunch after unloading?" Jiang Zhiqing was stunned when he heard this.  Then he understood what the foreman meant. He was heartbroken to give such a good meal to the workers, and wanted to save rice and meat for the meal.  Three years ago, he would probably have teamed up with the foreman to scrape a layer of oil on these workers. However, Jiang Zhiqing has been following Chen Zaixing in the past three years. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away. The situation has become much bigger.  He no longer values ??this small amount of money, but wants to handle this errand without making any mistakes.  So Jiang Zhiqing smiled: "Tou Xu, you also know that this mission is specially assigned by my superiors, and there is no chance of anything going wrong. But I also know that all the brothers have worked hard on this trip. Let's do this, Mr. Xu.  Give me a face, brother, this mission is done, everyone has this number!" At this point, Jiang Zhiqing stretched out his palm and spread his fingers.  "That's great!" The foreman was overjoyed when he heard this. Even if he had deducted it just now, each person would only be given two or three taels of silver at most. And this Master Jiang was given five taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, so why should he be such a villain?  Thinking of this, the foreman pretended to be embarrassed again and said with a smile: "How can I have the nerve to let Mr. Jiang spend money?" "It doesn't matter, as long as this mission is done!" "Okay!" The foreman was overjoyed, and he looked at the sky.  , shouted loudly to the workers who were working: "Okay, okay, everyone has a rest at noon, have lunch and then work!" The workers responded and walked to the shade to rest, and soon the meal was ready  When the white rice and braised pork were delivered, they were still of good quality. The workers immediately rushed forward, but they also knew that the food was enough and it was no longer as disorderly as yesterday.  Yu Zhiheng sat on the ground, lowering his head to eat. There were bursts of laughter behind him. It was obvious that the workers were in a good mood. The generous food and wages made these easily satisfied people smile.  At this time, Li Su took a big bowl filled with rice and braised pork and started eating.  Yu Zhiheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. This seemed to be the sixth or seventh time that the other party had served rice.  "Li Su, which bowl of rice is this for you?" "The seventh bowl, probably!" Li Su, who was chewing food in his mouth, spoke with a somewhat unclear accent.  "Why did you eat so much today?" Yu Zhiheng asked worriedly. The workers used the big bowls that farmers used to drink. Although manual workers generally have a good appetite, they usually only eat four or five bowls.  This is amazing. Li Su is not a big eater on weekdays, but eating seven bowls at once is really scary.  "It's rare to have such a good meal once in a year. I finally encountered it this time. Of course I have to eat enough!" Li Su replied while eating. Suddenly, maybe because he got distracted while talking while eating, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.  His stomach turned pale.  Yu Zhiheng hurried forward and slapped the other person on the back, and asked loudly: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" But Li Su's face became more and more ugly, and he fell to the ground, rolling in pain, as if  Something was tumbling in my stomach.  Yu Zhiheng pressed him to the ground and shouted his name loudly, but Li Su's did not answer. The muscles on his face twitched, obviously enduring severe pain.  "What's wrong with Xiao Li?" "What happened?" The workers who were eating gathered around, facing the pain on the groundLi Su was struggling, and people were helpless.  "Is it a fever?" "No, everyone has eaten this stuff and they are all fine. How can I save someone with a stomachache!" "Get out of the way, what's going on!" Jiang Zhiqing pushed aside the crowd,  After squeezing in, he thought everything was going smoothly, but he didn't expect that something like this happened, and his face turned green.  "Are the rice and meat clean?" Jiang Zhiqing turned around and shouted sternly at the foreman.  "No problem! The rice comes off the boat, the pigs are killed here, and the meat is fresh!" The foreman was about to cry: "Mr. Jiang, so many people are eating from the same pot.  Everyone is doing well, who knows what happened to him! " "Go and call a doctor!" Jiang Zhiqing shouted. He knew that nothing could go wrong at this time, otherwise the imperial court had just banned the import of Burmese rice.  According to the order, if he is caught red-handed, Chen Zaixing will never let him go.  "Yes, yes, I'll call the doctor right away!" The foreman rolled away and crawled away.  Jiang Zhiqing stood up and shouted to the workers: "Dear fellow workers, I have sent someone to ask for the doctor. Once the doctor comes, everything will be fine. Everyone, go eat and rest. It is not good for the patients to be crowded here."  !¡± The workers dispersed docilely, and Jiang Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed at Yu Zhiheng who was squatting next to Li Su and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to work anymore this afternoon. Take care of him here.¡±  Nodding, with the help of two workers, Li Su was carried to the shade of a tree and lay down.  While Yu Zhiheng fanned him, a groan came to his ears. The young man's face had turned pale, sweat was sliding down his cheeks, his abdomen was slightly bulging, and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker.  Seeing this young man who usually talked and laughed like this, Yu Zhiheng's heart twitched.  About an hour later, the foreman led a doctor to the dock.  The doctor stretched out his hand to feel Li Su's pulse for a while, looked at his pupils, asked about what happened before the illness, and stood up.  The uneasy Yu Zhiheng asked: "Doctor, what disease does Xiao Li have?" "He is not ill, his stomach was broken by eating too much!" The doctor slowly took the wet towel handed over by the foreman and wiped the patient who had just replaced him.  Li Su's right hand diagnosed: "It's gone. Gastric juice flowed out from the burst stomach and corroded the internal organs. Get ready to take care of the funeral!" Yu Zhiheng knelt on the ground. He could no longer hear the doctor's words clearly.  Looking at the dying Li Su lying on the ground, life was slowly passing away from the young man's body. What took his life was not poison and weapons, but the braised pork and white rice he dreamed of.  "Uncle Zhiheng, we unloaded so much rice today, how many people should be fed! If all this rice belongs to us, we will never go hungry in this life, and we can eat as much as we want, that would be great!" Yu  Li Su's voice echoed in Zhiheng's ears, and suddenly he felt moisture in the corners of his eyes, and tears flowed from his eyes.  "This is for this young man!" A piece of silver ingot fell in front of Yu Zhiheng. He raised his head and saw the foreman standing in front of him: "Does he have any other family members?" "No, Xiao Li fled from northern Jiangsu.  Yes, his parents have already died in his hometown!" "Then let's build a coffin for him, don't go into the ground naked!" The foreman reached out and pinched the hard part on his waist, thinking to himself: "I would have known that he had already died at home!  There is no one left, so I don¡¯t even need to give you these five taels of silver. It¡¯s a bargain for Yu Zhiheng!¡± ¡°Thank you very much, Xu Tou!¡± Yu Zhiheng replied somewhat numbly.  "No need to thank me, it was all paid for by that Mr. Jiang. He is a kind person!" The foreman praised with his tongue: "It's also Xiao Li who is not lucky. He can die from a full meal!" He shook his head and left.  .  Yu Zhiheng knelt in front of Li Su, watching the young man's breathing getting faster and weaker, his eyes fixed on the sky, his lips slightly opening and closing, as if he was saying something.  Yu Zhiheng had seen dead people, and he knew that this was a sign that life was about to disappear. He quickly leaned down and wanted to hear the last words.  "Meat is so delicious. It would be great if I could eat it every day!" These were the last words of this young man.  By five o'clock in the evening, all the rice had been loaded and unloaded, and the workers received their wages and left one after another.  Yu Zhiheng received his and Li Su's wages, and returned to his residence with two helping workers with Li Su's body. The workers left, leaving only Yu Zhiheng and Li Su's bodies in the house.  The wages and the five-tael silver ingot were placed next to the corpse. Yu Zhiheng sat next to the corpse and looked at the corpse lying on the ground. After a long time, he sighed: "Eat meat every day, hey!" Houde Bank Headquarters, night  Already a deep, spacious conference room?There were only two people sitting, but they were Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping, playing chess across the Wenping table.  At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The visitor did not dare to disturb him when he saw this, but just stood quietly by the chessboard.  First of all, I would like to thank my book friends Kumu Huangxue and Agou's Stupid Bear for their rewards. Today, the popularity of this book has finally climbed to the bottom of the classification list. This is due to everyone's support. All Weber can do is to write carefully.  Publish good books.  I don¡¯t care too much about titles such as great god or mid-level god, but I hope that my books will receive due evaluation and rewards.  At any time, good is good and bad is bad. Although game guides and novels have something in common, they are not the same thing.
