When Zhu Ji started the pot, the city was filled with the aroma of marinated meat.
Qihua Gate Pier is not far from Zhu Ji, close to the water tower first get the moon, they are the first group of people to smell the aroma of marinated meat.
At first, it was only Erniu and Errong who smelled the mouth-watering aroma of meat, but slowly, as the aroma of marinated meat became stronger and stronger, all the labourers on the wharf smelled the aroma of meat.
Although the greedy people drooled, but under the stimulation of this meat aroma, the cells of the whole body were agitated, as if they had been opened by the martial arts masters, the whole body was full of strength.
One, two, one.
One, two, one.
Come and go
Sweating like a pig
No use of foreman how to inspire and cheer, the force workers will soon be a boat of porcelain to carry a clean.
For every box of porcelain they carried, they would receive a bamboo stick, and at the end, the foreman would pay them according to the number of bamboo sticks they had.
After the steward accompanying the cargo ship confirmed that none of the porcelain was missing, he quickly gave the wages to the foreman surnamed Liu.
“Don’t crowd, one by one.”
Foreman Liu stood on a brick stack at the pier, maintaining order while distributing the morning’s wages to the labourers according to the bamboo sticks in their hands.
“Alright, it’s all been handed out. You guys did a good job, I’m also true to my word, let’s go, Four Seas Eatery, I’ll treat you to a drink. All open belly drink it, how much you drink, all counted on the old man’s head.”
After finishing the money, the labourer surnamed Liu jumped down from the brick stacks, patted his chest and shouted towards the crowd.
“Good!!! Liu head is atmospheric.”
“Still Liu head open.”
“Liu head bureau atmosphere ……”
The crowd shouted and cheered.
After working all morning and sweating, going together to the Four Seas Eatery to order two dishes and drink two bowls of wine is simply not too beautiful.
This morning, the air above the pier wafted in the aroma of tantalising meat, their taste buds to stimulate, do not go to the tooth offering to sacrifice the five dirty temples, this stomach cravings are able to tear down the five dirty temples.
Although the Four Seas Restaurant expensive to death, but we have more ah, a table of seven or eight people to put together the money called on five or six dishes, spread out each person 20 or 30 Wen is about the same, can be within the acceptable range.
Although the Four Seas Restaurant sometimes dog-eyed, sometimes do the dishes too salty or too light, but no matter what, the cook’s cooking, but more delicious than the home of the mother-in-law, at least the cook is willing to put oil ah, unlike the home of the mother-in-law, a dish can not float a few smell of oil.
The key is that the wine is free, the foreman will pay for all the wine.
Who doesn’t love to drink when they are working hard?
But usually they don’t have the money to drink.
For a table of seven or eight people, at least two buckets of wine were needed, and one bucket of wine cost three to four hundred Wen, and two buckets of wine cost six to seven hundred Wen. If the foreman hadn’t paid for the drinks, it would have cost less than 100 Wen per person.
That’s true.
In ancient times, liquor was not cheap, as can be seen from the poets’ poems.
Li Bai: “A golden bottle of wine is worth ten thousand buckets, and a jade tray of delicacies is worth ten thousand coins”; Wang Wei: “A bucket of ten thousand of Xinfeng wine is worth ten thousand buckets, and how many years have the Xianyang wanderers spent on it”; Bai Juyi: “A bucket of ten thousand buckets is worth ten thousand buckets, and seventy years are owed to each other!”.
A bucket of wine ten thousand ……Of course, it is also possible that Li Bai, Wang Wei and Bai Juyi were all rich and handsome in ancient times, with high consumption levels, and the wine they drank was all good wine.
Compared to them, Du Fu, who “the winds of August autumn roared and rolled up the three-fold thatch on my house”, could be regarded as a proletarian, and was the closest to the life of the general public. Du Fu wrote the poem “Gift to Bi Siyao”, in which he wrote: “The price of wine in the streets is often bitterly expensive, and the drunkards outside the square rarely sleep drunk. It would be better to drink a bucket of wine, and there would be three hundred green copper coins.”
A bucket of wine costs 300 coins, which is about the same price as the cheapest soju in the restaurants in the Four Seas, showing that the price of wine in ancient times was not expensive.
That’s why everyone was so thrilled and excited when foreman Liu invited for a drink.
“Hehe, let’s go at Four Seas Eatery.”Foreman Liu smiled brightly and took the first step towards the Four Seas Eatery.
“Go.”
“Walk, last time, the Four Seas Eatery’s retort meat had a good flavour, today we can order another plate.”
The crowd chimed in for a while.
However, just at this time, a discordant voice rang out.
“Cough cough, Liu Tou, that, that ……I won’t go to the Four Seas Eatery this time ……”
The voice was not loud, but it was unusually obvious in a chorus of concurrence.
Who is it?
Someone invited to drink are not going, you shivering not shivering stupid? A hundred Wen’s cheap are not take advantage of, head is not into the water?
The crowd turned their heads towards the vocalist, curious to see who this fool who didn’t go was.
Swish swish swish.
Dozens of lines of sight all focused on the vocaliser.
When the fat-headed Errone saw the crowd looking at him, he somewhat embarrassedly stretched out his big bushy hand and scratched the back of his head, the meat on his fat face shaking along with it.
“Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?!”
“I’m not blind, right, the one who just spoke was actually Errongzi?”
“Errongzi, you’re not sick, are you?”
The crowd shouted out in surprise when they saw the vocaliser, this Er Rouzi was usually the most gluttonous, you could tell by looking at his size, and he was good at taking advantage of people, and his alcohol addiction was bigger than anyone else. On weekdays, not to mention invite him to drink, neighbouring eight villages who have a red and white wedding, this doudoune moncler outlet is brazenly uninvited to go, go up is a pass to eat and drink.
But today, the head of the Liu invited to drink, this Errongzi even do not go?
The sun did not come out of the west, right? The crowd was stunned, with their mouths open for half a day.
“Ahem, that, Liu Tou, I won’t be going to the Four Seas Eatery today either.”
While the crowd was surprised that Er Rou did not go to the Four Seas Eatery, they heard another voice in a jar ring out.
Eh?
Another one?
What’s going on today, the crowd once again looked towards the sounding voice in surprise, their eyes widened and their mouths opened even wider.
Iron Pillar?
Tiezhu even did not go, this is not true, Tiezhu this guy is a bachelor, a person to eat the whole family is not hungry, Tiezhu this person does not love prostitutes, two do not love to gamble, but also willing to work, powerful, a person can work to top others two, but never pocket than his face are clean, because he earned all the money used to eat meat and drink.
However, today Liu head invited everyone to go to the four seas restaurant to drink, but Tiezhu unexpectedly do not go? He had never missed one before!!!!
“Ahem, I’m not going either.”
“And me.”
“Me too.”
……
While the crowd was surprised that Iron Pillar couldn’t be any more surprised, they heard four or five more voices stating that they weren’t going one after another.
Well!
The crowd was then numb with surprise.
What’s going on today?
Usually, when Liu head invites for a drink, everyone is as active as anything, no one is left behind. But today there are six or seven people who don’t go?
