Rise From the Humble

"Hey, no. Er Lengzi, Tie Zhu, what do you mean? Do you want to change the family? Did that boy Tie Ying fill you with some ecstasy soup again?! You don't have water in your head, I, Liu Er, are you? I have treated you badly before, and the 'polar fee' I charge is notoriously low in this area of ​​piers, a full 10% less than other piers. If you want to go to Tieying West Pier, you have to think carefully."

The foreman surnamed Liu lined up the crowd and came to Er Lengzi and the others, shook his head, sighed, and said with some constipation.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The same goes for docks.

Relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the inner-city river shipping in the capital is also developed. Goods from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the two lakes go north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, passing through half of the Ming Dynasty, all the way to the Tonghui River in the capital, and then to the end of the inner-city river in the capital, with stops every day. There are countless large and small boats at the inner city river wharf. Merchants go there for meals, and scholars come and go incessantly.

The boat is ten miles away, and there are thousands of houses with fireworks; the boats are like weaving, and the mountains of department stores are piled up.

With so many cargo ships, it is natural to work hard to load and unload. It is no exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of people making a living on the docks of the capital.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention tens of thousands of workers. They form a big rivers and lakes - boat gangs, and each dock is a small rivers and lakes - sub-rudder, and the docks in the capital are under their control. . If you want to be a Lifu and make a living on the dock, you have to buy a "pole" from the boat gang. Only Lifu who bought a "pole" are qualified to make a living on the dock. Naturally, they can't contact the boat gang leaders. They can only contact the helmsmen of each dock, who are also the foremen, and pay them to buy "poles".

The foreman surnamed Liu is the foreman of this wharf, and the Tie Ying he refers to is the foreman of the other wharf closest to them. Conflicts of interest are inevitable due to the close distance between the two wharves. For this reason, foreman Liu and Tie Ying often have conflicts. The two were notoriously difficult to deal with.

After the foreman surnamed Liu finished speaking, the surrounding laborers gathered around again, and all of them began to talk half-persuading and half-teaching.

"No, that's not the case. Tie Ying's terminal is transported by water. Not to mention the fatigue, the monthly 'carrying pole' fee is dozens of cents more than Liu Tou's."

"You idiots, do you still have any conscience? How did Liu Tou treat you? Don't you have any idea?!"

"Don't ask for trouble. Tie Ying is not as easy to talk to as our Liu Tou. If you hit someone, you will be fatal."

"You young bastards, you gotta get kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Speaking of excitement, someone even reached out and slapped Er Lengzi and the others on their heads several times.

"No, there's no Liu Tou. We don't want to change anything. We won't leave anyway." The idiot's face turned red when he heard this, and his head shook as if it was about to take off.

"That's right, I said, what are you thinking about? Who wants to go to Tie Ying's bastard? Don't talk nonsense."

"Last year, my mother-in-law had a difficult delivery, and it was Liu Tou who gave me half a year's salary in advance, which saved the lives of my mother-in-law and the child. I'm not a beast, how could I leave Liu Tou and go to Tieying's little boy? .”

"If anyone wants to go to Iron Eagle, the whole family will die!"

Tie Zhu and the others also shook their heads, categorically denying it, and finally even swore.

In ancient times, swearing and swearing were quite convincing. After Tie Zhu and the others swore and swore, everyone's attitude towards them was obviously different.

"Then what's wrong with you guys today? Liu Tou invited us to go drink at Sihai Restaurant. Why don't you go for such a nice thing? Don't tell me that all of you guys have stopped drinking?!"

Everyone continued to ask.

"Why don't you quit drinking? We don't go to Sihai Restaurant today, we want to go to Zhuji Fast Food for a delicious meal." Er Lengzi, Tieniu and the others replied. When they talked about Zhu Ji Fast Food, they couldn't help but wipe it with their sleeves. He took a sip of saliva.

"What? Zhuji Fast Food? Can Zhuji Fast Food taste better than Sihai Restaurant?! You want to say that restaurants like Shilixiang and Xiankelai are more reliable."

Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads and smiled when they heard that Er Lengzi and the others said they wanted to go to Zhuji Fast Food for a good meal.

"able."

Er Lengzi and Tieniu nodded vigorously.

"What?! Don't be kidding me. I've never heard of Zhuji Fast Food before. It's either a small shop or a new one. What delicious food can be found in it?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but smile.

"There are a lot of delicious things, such as pig heart, sausage, liver, and pig head meat," Erluzi and the others said with their hands.

"Hahaha, give back the pig's heart and fat intestines. Isn't that just the pig's urine? Have you got your brains wet, and the pig's urine can still be delicious?!" When everyone heard this, they laughed.

"Can it still be delicious?!"

Er Lunzi squinted his small eyes and glanced at everyone, snorted, grinned, and laughed at everyone, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was wider than everyone else.

Ouch? !

I go!

Dude, what's your expression? !

When everyone saw this, they all expressed their intention to teach Erluzi a lesson.

"smell."

Er Lunzi raised his chin to everyone.

"What do you smell?" Everyone looked confused.

"What are you smelling?! Do you smell the fragrance floating in the air?!" Erluzi took a deep breath of air, showing an intoxicated look.

"You said this fragrance. I smelled it when I was trying to resist the goods. I don't even know how many mouthfuls I swallowed."

"Isn't this scent someone's stewing dragon meat?!"

"What, could this smell come from Zhuji Fast Food?!"

"It's impossible. Sihai restaurants can't produce this aroma. This must be the aroma coming from the kitchen of some dignitary. It seems that Qianwei Hou's Mansion is not far from here."

Everyone smelled the enticing fragrance in the air and expressed their opinions in a flurry of voices, feeling that they were fooling around and making a fuss.

"This aroma comes from Zhuji Fast Food. We can still admit our mistake after eating it once. Three days ago, the owner of Zhuji Fast Food invited us to try it for free. The taste was so delicious that our tongues almost swallowed it. You’ll never forget it once you eat it. I’m not exaggerating, if you eat it once, you will feel the same way.”

When Er Lengzi and the others recalled the last time they ate braised pork, their mouths watered involuntarily.

"Is it really so delicious?!"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little tempted.

"Hey, don't believe it?! Don't you smell the fragrance? Let me tell you, it tastes a hundred times better than this when you eat it." The two idiots couldn't help but squeaked as they talked.

"Then, let's go to Zhuji and have a try too?"

"Okay, you can't go anywhere without eating. Don't tell me, the smell is so delicious, it makes me drool just by smelling it."

"Would you like to try it?"

"Just try it."

Everyone was tempted, not because of how eloquent the two idiots were, but because of the ubiquitous smell of meat in the air, which was so convincing.

"Okay, let's go to Zhuji instead this time. It's still the same old rule. Everyone will share the money before the meal, and the wine money will be on my account. Haha, if Zhuji is not delicious, I won't tell you, everyone knows what to do. How to do it?"

Anyway, it was a treat, and it didn’t matter where we ate. The foreman surnamed Liu obediently changed the treat location to Zhuji Fast Food. Finally, he raised his arms, pointed at Er Lengzi and the others with a smile, and winked at everyone.

"Hahaha, if it doesn't taste good, I'll skin the two fools alive and eat them in stew."

Everyone burst out laughing.

A group of dozens of people, chatting and laughing, strode towards Zhuji Fast Food under the guidance of Er Lengzi and the others.
