Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 17: Selling straw shoes shouted

Liu Daoli took the bowl with a smile, and began to divide the rice and vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks. While dividing, he said: "Thank you brother. Tomorrow, brother will continue to make straw shoes for you."

Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Okay, straw shoes will be sold for one day. Tomorrow you will be obedient and help your mother. At night, your elder brother will bring you fish to eat!"

After an hour, Liu Yu slept on the humble couch. In this small room, there were only three couches similar to tatami mats, covered with straw mats, next to each other, and the two younger brothers were by their side. After dreaming, Liu Daoli had two grains of rice hanging on the corner of his mouth, and his mouth was moving slightly. Obviously, this evening meal was already a big meal for him that he had not eaten for several days. .

Liu Yu gently extended his hand and helped Liu Daoli wipe off the rice grains and saliva at the corner of his mouth. Liu Daogu on the side suddenly punched and kicked, and his mouth made a "humming hahe" sound, even the one covering him The patchy quilt kicked him off.

Liu Yu smiled slightly and secretly said that the three younger brothers learned their punches from themselves. Since childhood, they worshipped themselves as gods. Every time they saw themselves fighting with others, they would cheer in the back. It's probably a pity, slave.

Liu Yu gently pulled the quilt Liu Daoki kicked off, covered him, he turned over, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother, take me, teach me." Then he fell asleep.

Liu Yu sighed softly. The moonlight was sinking in the sun. Through the lattice of the window, the two brothers' faces were illuminated. Above the little face, it was so happy and satisfying. He slept beside his elder brother. So down-to-earth, so safe.

Liu Yu murmured to himself: "Brother, you must support our family and don't let your brother down."

Three days later, at noon, two quarters, the Garlic Hill Ferry.

The sun was shining brightly, and the knowledge of the tree was singing happily. Here at the ferry, all kinds of shouting sounds became a piece. Liu Yu was still dressed that day, the only difference was that he changed a new pair of straw shoes.

Liu Yu's voice, mixed in a crowd of people's screams, was feeble: "Sale straw shoes, good straw shoes, wear no sanding, no foam, three dollars!"

Another ship landed on the shore. Liu Yu's eyes shone brightly, and the voice raised several times, but the more than 20 merchants and refugees coming off the ship hurried away.

The few who stayed only occasionally stayed only for a while at the stalls with preserved fruits and dried fish, added some dry food and left. From morning till now, Liu Yu actually sold only two pairs of straw shoes, no wonder he was so discouraged .

The last person dressed by the merchant lingered in front of Xu Xianzhi's stall, eating one or two of each kind of preserved fruit, but there was no plan to pay for it.

Under Xu Xian's angry gaze, the man shook his head cheeky and said, "It's not tasty." Then he walked away.

Xu Xian hated the fan with a few fans over the preserved fruit, and took a sip to the ground: "Someone, if you can't afford it, don't eat it. Everyone is like this person. I don't have to do this business."

Liu Yu said angrily: "Anyway, there are people in your stall who come to patronize. I shouted here and no one came."

Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly, picked up a few slices of preserved fruit, walked over and handed it to Liu Yu, and said, "Come on, Brother Liu, eat my two slices of preserved fruit first, to eliminate gas."

Liu Yu also refused to come. He threw a piece of peach into his mouth and felt better. He sighed and looked at the large series of straw sandals around him and said, "What the **** is this, my straw sandals are not Okay? I also wear a pair myself, which is quite comfortable. "

Said, stood up, looked at the new straw shoes on his feet, and walked back and forth a few steps.

Xu Xianzhi said with a smile: "Brother Liu, those who just got out of the boat were either Northern Yanzi or merchants. They went out and had already prepared these shoes and changed their clothes, unless they had worn out their shoes and had no reserve. I will buy it from you. "

"This stall at the ferry, selling food and drink, especially dry food and tea, will be a good business. You sell straw shoes, not a place."

Liu Yu's eyes widened: "Is this still the case? Where should I sell straw shoes?"

Xu Xianzhi said rightly: "I heard that the northern elders have set up a temporary market in Wulao Village today to set up a variety of daily necessities, agricultural tools and clothes. Brother Liu, you better go there, and you still have time today."

Liu Yu was about to speak, and only heard a familiar voice coming from one side: "I can find you, Brother Liu, your straw shoes, brother and I are all inclusive!"

Liu Yu's face changed, and Xu Xianzhi looked at it, but he saw an eight-foot tall man who was standing ten steps away and looked at himself with a smile, but it was not the sandalwood he saw here yesterday. With that?

It's just that compared to the rags and blouses of the previous day, UU reading www.uukanshu.com looks like a beggar. Today's sandalwood has changed to a new set of azure cloth, and his hair has been combed well. Wrapped in a white cloth towel, it looks exactly the same as the ordinary Han people. It can even be said that it is refreshing and upright.

It's just that his waist is still tied with hemp rope, and his head is wrapped in white cloth, indicating that he is still in mourning.

Liu Yu secretly said, really people rely on clothing, Tan is originally as strong as Xiong Le, but yesterday's dismal appearance, can not see too strong, this dress today, a heroic hero.

Liu Yu stood up and said to Tan Pingzhi: "It turned out to be the Tan brothers. Today, are you not going to the Diao family's field to rent crops? How come you have time to come to the ferry?"

Speaking of this, his brow furrowed slightly, pointing at Tan Pingzhi's clothes, and said, "Is this clothes made by Diaojia?"

Tan Pingzhi smiled and shook his head: "No, if we take his Diao Jia's clothes, wouldn't we have become Diao Jia's servant tenants? I understand this. There are other kindhearted people, It is precisely because of the donation from Living God that I came to see you, Brother Liu. "

Liu Yu gently "Oh" said: "There are such kind-hearted people? That is really congratulations to you, Brother Tan." Having said this, Liu Yu felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Actually, he originally wanted to go to Tan Tanzhi and Wei Yongzhi after selling straw shoes today, and discuss with them about his family's land after they joined the army.

But looking at their current dress, I am afraid that there are nobles to help, I am afraid that there are other big families in Beijing, or even the two family elites who met that day, I want to take this northern strongman into use. And this matter of borrowing land for cultivation is naturally impossible to talk about.
