"Nan Wenchuan, go get another bucket of water."
Early that morning, at the cake hut next to the tofu workshop, a woman neatly poured a large plate of sheep bones into a half-person-high pottery cauldron, and grabbed a large handful of dry winter melon from the basket next to it.
He went in, and finally brought a clay pot over, scooped a few spoons of coarse salt from it and sprinkled it in.
After looking at it, he felt that there was less water, so he called Nan Wenchuan to fetch water.
Nan Wenchuan was the boy from the Nan family who disguised himself as a woman and tried to sneak into the cashmere workshop that day.
He was punished by Luo Yong and worked in the cake distribution place.
He had already started working in the past two days.
"Oh."
Nan Wenchuan was squatting under the stove to add firewood at this time.
Hearing the instructions, he wiped his nose and stood up, wiped the dirt in his hand on his pants, and picked up a wooden bucket from the side to fetch water.
Went.
There is no need to go far.
Before the construction of the industrial zone in the northwest of the city started earlier, the Luo County Magistrate had ordered a canal to be built in the city.
The source of this canal is close to the ancient well with the largest amount of water in the city, and there is also a canal in the middle.
Passed by the tofu workshop, the county government office, and the liquor workshop.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City This canal is about less than two feet high.
It is repaired with cement.
The top of the canal is covered with cement boards.
In front of the tofu workshop, a reservoir is built next to the canal.
The bottom of the reservoir is slightly deeper than the canal.
The tofu workshop and the cake hut can directly draw water from this canal, which really saves a lot of time and effort.
Nan Wenchuan walked to the pool with a bucket, went up two steps, swung the bucket on the water, shook out a few grass stalks and broken leaves on the water, took a bucket of water back, and handed it to the dry man.
The living woman then squatted there to light the fire.
The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, especially at this time in the morning.
His stomach was empty at this time, and when the cold wind blew, his whole body felt cold from the inside out.
Unfortunately, he only squatted for a while before the woman asked him to help with the dough.
The tofu workshop started working before dawn.
By this time, someone had already helped them carry the first batch of bean dregs for the day.
Nan Wenchuan and the two women put some mixed noodles in and mixed them with the bean dregs, and then kneaded the mixed noodle pancakes one by one on a hot iron plate.
Not long after, the big pottery urns started to steam one after another, and a woman took the pottery bowl over and made three bowls of hot soup.
The three of them drank it into their stomachs, and then continued to make kang cakes.
Some lonely old people and disabled people in the city, as well as those who were hungry all day long, also came over one after another at this time.
According to the order of first come, first served, a long line was formed outside the hut where the cakes were served. team There are also some people who are physically strong and diligent.
Before coming here to eat cakes every day, they have to go to the ancient well and ride the waterwheel for an hour and a half.
Several disciples of Magistrate Luo recently set up two small and exquisite waterwheels at the ancient well.
They were not hand-cranked, but pedaled.
The design was very exquisite and it was quite effortless to step on them.
The water from the well will flow into the pool beside the well.
Nowadays, when people in the city go to the ancient well to fetch water, they only need to take it from the pool.
You can also make money by treading waterwheels, one penny an hour.
Some people are not strong enough and can't tread for an hour, so they tread for half an hour first, take a break, and then tread for half an hour later.
Get a penny.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City The old man who watched the waterwheel knew a few words.
He sewed a small book with a few pieces of rough paper and wrote and drew every day.
He could also record the accounts clearly.

This old man was a soldier when he was young, and he was very brave on the battlefield.
Later, in a battle with the Turks, his arm was removed by a Turk on horseback.
Fortunately, several friends around him protected him, and he had to meet a good friend.
Doctor, I managed to save a life.
At that time, he was still young and had a wife and children at home.
Coupled with the change of dynasties, his military achievements had also been wiped out, and his life was very difficult.
It was also thanks to the help and support of his former comrades.
Although his comrades-in-arms were also from the Sui army, as long as those who served in the army could fight hard, they would be welcome to join any family.
Most of them later defected to Li Tang.
The dead and crippled ones died in the past few years.
If they were to say that they were doing well, it was probably the Fu Bingcao who came to Changle County some time ago and even came to visit me.
He introduced him to Qiao Junlin, saying that although his former comrade was old and disabled, he was still a reputable man, upright and dedicated to his duties, and asked Qiao Junlin to help him find a job to make a living.
So it didn't take long for him to start his current job.
Every day, he would sit by the ancient well with a bunch of copper plates in his arms, and watch the two wheels turning and making the sound of water all day long. , who had ridden on the train for an hour, he took out a copper plate from his arms and gave it as wages.
"Yu Weng, it's enough for an hour."
"It's still early, just hold on."
"I'm too tired.
I'd better step on it for half an hour."
"It's not even half an hour."
"really" "I have never deceived anyone" These half-grown men in the city want to earn a penny, but they don't have much strength.
Every time they step on the back, they start to scream for a quarter of an hour or two.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Old Man Yu smiled, and from time to time he secretly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and smashed it into a sip.
If someone looked at him and asked him what he had eaten, he would say that what he had eaten was water.
In fact, no one knew that the bottle he had was filled with the tail of wine.
Old Man Yu loved this drink.
When the wine shop opened, he had a taste of it, and then he thought about it day and night.
His eldest son also made some money this year, so he went to stay up all night outside the wine shop, bought a barrel of wine tails, carried it home, packed it into several large and small porcelain bottles, and sealed it with several layers of oil paper. , every morning, he would use this smallest narrow-mouthed porcelain bottle to eat a few half bottles with his Aye.
With such a small bottle of wine and some copper coins in his arms, Old Man Yu was very happy every day.
At this age, he has experienced everything he should have experienced in his life.
Now he, a bad old man, does not have to be a burden to the family.
He can earn a little money every month, and can also provide subsidies for his children and grandchildren, and have enough food and clothing every day.
Nuan, he was very content to still have these few sips of white wine.
When the ditch was being built earlier, the county magistrate said it was too cold near the well, so someone else built a mud hut next to the well.
The house was really small, barely enough to build an earthen kang, and had earthen walls on three sides to protect it. , and put a straw curtain in front, it will be very warm.
Old Man Yu sat in this small adobe house all day long, happily watching those half-grown men treading water, half as good as a landowner.
When the servants in the yamen were serving dinner, his little grandson would go over with the rice bowl to get the rice and deliver it to him.
The boy used to be jealous of Cui Weng's little boy who was running the vegetable shop.
Now he can hold a rice bowl and go to the Yamen to get food, but he is very happy.
In the county government office, the women in charge of cooking were also busy with today's breakfast.
The weather is cold after winter, and vegetables are hard to come by.
The price of mutton is very cheap.
The main reason is that after the weather gets cold, cashmere grows on the goats.
Many people rush to kill the sheep at this time.
In the past two days, there were many people on the street.
Mutton still sells for four cents a pound, but in the past two days it only cost three cents.

In this yamen, people have been eating meat all day recently.
At the beginning, everyone enjoyed eating it, but after eating for seven, eight or ten days, they all lost their energy.
In the past two days, the magistrate of Luo County had people drive the big donkey to grind a lot of flour and asked them to steam some cooking cakes to eat.
This cooking cake is also stuffed with mutton.
The best mutton is chopped into small pieces, added with some green onions and ginger, and mixed with some sauce.
It smells very fragrant.
When the cakes on the steamer were steaming, the guards came over to eat one after another.
Some of them had just returned from patrolling outside, and some of them had just gotten up in the morning.
Most of the people who came back from the patrol were cold and tired, and it was uncomfortable to stay up all night on this cold day.
But fortunately, the patrol only came once every two months, and there were only a few of them.
Day, you'll be fine if you get over it.
The hot cooking cakes were taken out from the steamer, followed by a large bowl of soy milk, and everyone found a place to eat.
This pancake looks dusty and yellow, and when you take a bite, your mouth is full of delicious flavor.
Not to mention the amount of mutton stuffing inside, you can't wait to stuff half a catty of mutton into one pancake, take two bites of the pancake, and then eat it.
After taking a sip of soy milk, my whole body gradually warmed up from the inside out.
Not long after, Old County Magistrate Tan also came over.
The woman who was cooking quickly took cooking cakes and made soy milk with him.
Each of those servants could eat at least three or four of these large cooking cakes, but Old County Magistrate Tan only needed two. .
Old County Magistrate Tan took his share and went to find a place to eat.
His sons were all quite profitable, and their breakfast was pretty good, but the old man was still willing to go to the county government office.
Although he has retired, he is still working hard for Luo Yong, so it is not too much to eat a few bites of his food.
As soon as Old County Magistrate Tan sat down, Tang Jian also came out.
He currently lives behind the county government office, and eats with Luo Yong and the others.
Luo Yong is with these officers, so he also goes with these officers.
Together.
The little old man didn't have any airs.
He took his share of the meal and sat down with Mr.
Tan, the magistrate.
Regarding the situation in Changle County and Dunhuang, Old County Magistrate Tan knew very well.
Tang Jian liked to chat with him recently when he had nothing to do.
After a while, a few more people came in from outside.
It turned out to be Ma Si Wang Jin Huai and others.
Luo Yong rarely got up late today.
When he got dressed and went out to have breakfast, the woman who was cooking said: "There are no more cakes, so why don't I cook you a bowl of buns?"
Luo Yong hadn't quite woken up at this time, and he was a little confused when he heard this.
How could he not have a share of these big mutton buns in his own territory?
"Sanlang, come on, I'll give you one here."
Tang Jian said generously.
"Come on, I'll give you one too."
Masiro smiled.
Magistrate Luo took one here and one there, and finally Qiao Junlin gave him another one, barely enough for four, and went to find a place to eat.
He has been growing taller recently, and he can't get enough of even four of these big cakes.
