Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 449 Look Down

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan followed.

The group was taken directly outside the city, and the black-faced youth looked at them pinching their waists, and admonished: "Although it is a work-for-relief scheme, the money from the yamen is not so easy to get, and everyone must complete the prescribed tasks and must not Be lazy, otherwise the wooden sign will be confiscated and expelled! Now, everyone will get the tools!"

Everyone lined up, and the black-faced youth held a few pieces of paper in his hands. It was the paper on which their information was recorded. As he called his name, he scanned the information on it, and then began to assign tasks after comparing the faces and names. "Take a **** and dig the ground."

   "You transport mud with a wooden frame."

   When Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, the black-faced young man glanced at her, and then looked at the record above, disgusted, and said with a dark face: "You go to play mud,"

   He was a little irritable, "Are you really strong? Go pick up stones if you can't."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I can play mud."

   The black-faced youth snorted and called the next Fu Tinghan to step forward.

Seeing that Fu Tinghan could read on the paper, he looked a little better. After calling someone up, he looked up and down and said, "You also put on mud, this team is under your management, and it is up to you to record how long it has been dug. For the foundation, put a few baskets of mud, and remember how many baskets are shipped out, if the task cannot be completed, all labor costs will be halved!"

   When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened immediately, and they immediately disliked the women in the team, and said, "Master, there are too many women in our team. Seven, they are weak, aren't they holding us back?"

   "What to shout, what to shout, their strength is low, their wages are also low, and their share of work is also less. You should not put things on their heads. If you can't finish it, no one can escape."

   Several men couldn't help muttering, and even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say it outright.

  The girls including Zhao Hanzhang all gritted their teeth secretly, thinking that they would be able to see their power for a while.

   Everyone took their own tools and went to the ground. At this time, the blood in the ground was trampled to black and turned into water. The shoes were stepped on it, and the cold air kept piercing from the soles of the feet to the body.

   Zhao Hanzhang felt the cold, but as soon as her eyes swept away, she also saw many people wearing only straw sandals or stepping on the snow with bare feet.

   She stared blankly, and Fu Tinghan was also stunned. She glanced at their big red feet and felt sad, "This...will you get frostbite?"

A middle-aged man beside them was about to **** the ground with a hoe. He glanced at the words, curled his lips, and said indifferently, "The soles of the feet are thicker than horseshoes, what can be the problem? If you can’t get enough to eat, and you worry about others, hurry up and work, but don’t drag us down without getting paid.”

   When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Fu Tinghan back and asked them to dig the ground.

  It was cold and the ground was not easy to dig at all, but they still digged. After a few more hoes, they became hot, and when the cold wind blew again, they didn't feel so uncomfortable.

The excavated soil was thrown aside. Zhao Hanzhang and the others were responsible for loading the soil. However, it would take some time for the excavation to be excavated. After all, they were idle. Thinking that it was a group after all, it was up to the group to complete the task. .

  Hold the shovel in his hand to help dig the ground together.

  Fu Tinghan only went down a little bit several times in a row, and the mud he dug out was not as big as a fist, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

   He pondered for a moment, and finally changed the angle and stabbed it diagonally. This time, it was inserted quite deeply, but it couldn't dig out.

   An elderly refugee saw it, couldn't help but screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him away to take over, "You can't dig like this, this shovel will be broken, do you know how difficult it is to grab a tool?"

   He pulled out the shovel and showed Fu Tinghan a few shovels himself, "This way, this way, it saves courtesy and speeds up."

   Zhao Hanzhang studied on the side, and after three or two strokes, he learned to follow the gourd and draw the scoop.

   Fu Tinghan wrote down the angle and speed of his shovel, and thought he had learned it, so he nodded.

but…

   There is always a gap between reality and ideal.

  Fu Tinghan continued silently. The old refugee shoveled for a while and turned his head to see it. He couldn't help but say, "Young generation, you are so big in vain, even the little girl beside you can't compare."

Zhao Hanzhang, who had been working hard all the time, turned around and looked back. She couldn't help laughing. Seeing that his face was red and the tips of his ears were about to burn, she smiled and said, "Your method is right, but you have little strength. , this needs to be done gradually, don't be in a hurry, or you won't be able to lift your hands up at night."

   Zhao Hanzhang has been practicing his arm strength for more than a year because he wants to practice arrows, not to mention the original body has also been practicing martial arts, so his strength is not small.

   She can now draw a bow of a stone and a half, but she won't use such a heavy bow. Unless she wants to stand and shoot long distances, she usually only uses Qidou bows for riding and shooting, which requires a lot of strength.

  Fu Tinghan is also practicing arrows, and his accuracy is good, but his strength is only a little stronger than the average person. This average person refers to an ordinary soldier, and he is much inferior in front of Zhao Hanzhang.

   So he used a short bow all the time, and he also made a short crossbow for himself, just need to aim the head, no need for strength, lift it up and aim and shoot, it is a sharp weapon for short-range shooting;

   At the same time, he made a long crossbow for Zhao Hanzhang, but it was used in the army and could not be used in his personal armament.

  In the scriptures, he always thought that his arm strength was good. Although he was not as good as a powerful person, he was no worse than an ordinary person. But now he is not as good as others in digging soil.

   Fu Tinghan was a little depressed.

   Zhao Hanzhang inserted the shovel into the soil and digged as soon as he stepped on it. He glanced at Fu Tinghan doing the same thing as her, but even though the digging up was less soil, she couldn't help laughing.

  Fu Tinghan heard her laugh, and finally couldn't help looking back at her.

  Zhao Hanzhang immediately closed his mouth, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "This is actually a good thing, no one is perfect, people always have some things they are not good at, and the way of heaven is balanced."

The old man on the side heard her say so much, and couldn't help but interject: "Little lady, you don't have to comfort your husband too much, he is literate and earns far more wages than me every day. Overtake you, you should still worry about yourself, be careful that he won't want you if he earns money."

   Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth wide.

  Fu Tinghan was unhappy, "Why did the old man guess me like this? How could I not want her?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "What's impossible, there are a lot of unscrupulous men in Taiping, now there are more unscrupulous men, you are handsome, elegant, and can read, you can follow your lady. Are you having a hard time?"

  Fu Tinghan: "...Then can't I make more money to let her live a good life together?"

The old man snorted, turned his head and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "It's the same with men, they usually talk sweetly and don't spend money anyway, don't believe it easily, and let him live a hard life with you for a few days, then you'll know if it's good or bad. already."
