Chapter 329 I'll Go Up and Grab Two Plates of Food First

There is a sound of horseshoes kicking into the town, and the river sails with the waves.

On the upper deck of a passenger ship, there is a low table, two futons, two people sitting opposite each other.

Groups of ragged trackers on the banks of the Yuan River bent down and used their hands and feet, almost crawling forward.

The wide cloth drawstrings on the shoulders of the trackers are tied to the thick ropes at the mouth of the bowls, and they shout voiceless chant, listening to the command of their respective track teams to pull the boats upstream.

This is the first time for Shu Yingtong to witness a large team of trackers pulling. In his previous life, the profession of trackers had already left the stage of history.

The passenger boat she was on went down the river, and the boat coming from the opposite side could only be pulled all the way by manpower.

Trackers don’t just need to be strong, they must cooperate with the boatman and helmsman, obey the command and dispatch, and mistakes will easily cause the boat to tilt and capsize.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came up the straight ladder with a big bamboo basket, and when she saw Shu Yingtong staring intently at the tracker on the opposite bank, she smiled before saying anything.

"Here are the white melons and refreshments that Madam asked for. The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother bought some reed leaves and red dates at the ferry yesterday, and made some rice dumplings. Just out of the pot, send a plate up for Mrs. Madam to try~ "

The girl has a round moon face, a pair of small canine teeth and a pair of dimples are revealed when she smiles, and she has a sweet voice, which is very pleasing.

There was a sense of tact in speaking and doing things, and his smiling face was always facing Shu Yingtong, without glancing at Jing Yunyan.

"Thank you." Shu Yingtong nodded, and casually picked up a small jar of plum blossom wine from under the table and handed it to her, "We have come and gone, return the gift."

"Don't dare." She waved her hands again and again, smiling even brighter, "It's just a few zongzi, I can't afford such a heavy gift in return. If Madam likes pearls, it's fine as a reward."

"It's up to you, the wine is yours." Shu Yingtong didn't care about the form.

These people live on the water, as long as the river is not dry, they basically live on the boat.Because of the heavy humidity, both men and women love to drink.

"Thank you Madam for the reward!" Mingzhu happily took the wine jar, her round face beaming with laughter.

The nobleman must be drinking good wine, it is a precious thing, if you give it to your brothers, you will definitely have fun for a long time!
After Mingzhu left, Jing Yun pouted, shook the wine jar in his hand and muttered in a low voice, "Is it necessary to give such a big favor, give me two small jars in total, and give someone another one..."

Even rewarding money is fine. On this river, good wine is hard to buy.

"I can't do without you." Shu Yingtong took a slice of white melon and took a bite, "Crispy and sweet, not bad."

Jing Yunyan pinched the melon and pointed to the trackers on the shore, "Why do you keep looking at them, what are you thinking about?"

She finished eating the melon in her hand, and took another slice, "The wages for fiber pulling are not high, right?"

I don't know the wages if I have never been in this industry, but this is the bottom line of this era, and it is fundamentally different from the exhibition-like attractions, so I definitely don't earn much.

"Generally, it's similar to those masons in the village. Most of these trackers have no land and no skills. Adding taxes and corvees, it is basically impossible for a tracker to support a family."

"Labor is too cheap." Shu Yingtong shook her head, "The road is narrow."

Jing Yunyan pinched the melon and looked at her with a smile, "What tricks does Madam have up her sleeve?"

When she pays attention to one thing, she doesn't just focus on what is in front of her eyes, it must be connected with other things.

He was really curious about what she thought of.

Shu Yingtong wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and glanced at him leisurely, "Let your high-ranking younger brother pull the boat for a day, and experience the bitterness and bitterness of the people at the bottom, so that he will have the courage to talk to the officials, and then talk about strategy."

In the imperial city when I was young, in the villa when I was young, and later in the fiefdom.

In order to reduce the sense of existence, you can't hang around outside every day.Now that he is an emperor, he has taken over a mess, and he has no chance to go out to experience the people's feelings.

If you can't experience some things in person, relying on the memorials written by officials and the information given by some intelligence organizations, the effect is not ideal.

Jing Yunyan raised his eyebrows, and nodded in agreement, "Well, this is a good way, so that he doesn't have to worry about it every day, just work hard. If he is exhausted and falls on the bed, he will surely sleep soundly."

"Don't help him sell me miserably." Shu Yingtong took a slow sip from the teacup, "It's not my husband, why should I feel sorry for you?"

"It makes sense, he'll forget it if he's exhausted." With a smile in his eyes, he peeled off the rice dumpling and handed it to her mouth, "Come, have a bite of the first rice dumpling this year."

Red date flower bean dumpling, sweet.She glanced at it in disgust, opened her mouth and took a small bite, but before she started chewing, there was an exclamation from behind.

"Oops...in broad daylight, it's indecent..."

Shu Yingtong rolled her eyes silently, and licked her lips at Jing Yunyan, "Husband, I want more."

Jing Yunyan shook his fingers, almost laughed out loud, blinked at her, and said in a low voice, "Are you so naughty..."

You obviously don't like food, but you dare to say such things in order to embarrass others?
Did you say another meaning on purpose?
His Tongtong is really getting more and more interesting.

"Tsk tsk... I really don't know..."

"If you can't go up, if you don't go up, get out of here, don't talk nonsense on the ladder!"

"I want you to control~huh~ Yasha girl!"

"Senior Sister, don't be impulsive, if you beat someone up again this time, we'll have to go to the court for a year or so as a punishment!"

There was a sound of thumping on the wooden board in a panic behind, Shu Yingtong had already started eating the second fried fish cake, the sweet rice dumpling was too greasy, she likes to eat the soap rice dumpling without adding anything.

Someone sat down at the next table, and glanced out of the corner of their eyes, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and an eight or nine-year-old girl.

Both of them were wearing silver-gray narrow-sleeved riding clothes, and their long hair was neat and tidy.

Dressed as a man, but did not deliberately conceal gender.

The little girl stretched her neck and swept around Shu Yingtong's table, pushed the girl's arm across from her, humming and chirping coquettishly, "Senior Sister~ I want some tea too..."

The girl threw her away angrily, "Fart! If you hadn't gambled away all the money, we would have been in such a miserable situation! It would be nice to make you full!"

"I won a lot of silver in front of me, but I just lost because of bad luck..." The little girl scratched the edge of the table resentfully, "Besides, you came too late, you came only after I lost all... "

"Oh, when you give me medicine next time, please give me a lighter dose so that I wake up earlier. Or a heavier dose. I will still be in a coma when you are tied up and sold to a brothel!"

The little girl glanced at Shu Yingtong's table again, sucked her saliva, and pushed the girl's arm again.

"Hey, senior sister, look at them, they look rich and not very strong. How about I go up and grab two plates of food first, and you help me finish it? With senior sister's martial arts, a beating should be enough live."

"Why should I be beaten for you! If you want to grab it, just grab it, I will hold them down for you, and after eating, just kowtow to them and admit your mistake!"

Shu Yingtong propped her face sideways and pinched a piece of fried fish cakes into her mouth, humming softly, "I've never seen such a loud conspiracy before."

Jing Yunyan shook his head and laughed, and brought a plate of bean paste glutinous rice cakes to their table, "Has the little devil from Yuduanhun's family sneaked out again? This time he got a bad start and stumbled in the gambling house? "
