My ancient leisure life

In the early morning, the sun had just overflowed the horizon, and a ray of light had just emerged from the sky. Xu Nuo was already listlessly cooking in the kitchen, somewhat lacking in interest, even the sale of wild boars could not arouse his enthusiasm.

Seeing his lack of energy, Cheng Ge guessed that he didn't sleep well.After a day of jumping yesterday, I was exhausted and frightened, and then so many things happened, I couldn't help feeling pity, this is still a child.

He got up and sat next to the stove, ready to help him light the fire. "No, I can do it." Xu Nuo said lazily, "You have to drag the wild boar to the town in a while, so you should rest more and gather energy."

"I'm fine." Cheng Ge simply replied, after thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, you don't need to get up so early, but it's just over 30 miles away. If I walk quickly, it will take about an hour to arrive."

"Ah!" Erdan said in surprise, "Cousin, are you so good? Even the bullock cart will take more than an hour!"

"Is your cousin incomparable? He came back from the military camp. Soldiers are always vigorous and resolute. Walking faster is just a piece of cake." Xu Nuo regretted getting up so early. He was soundly asleep when he knocked on the door and woke up.

The reason why he could not lose his temper and forced himself to suppress his temper was that today was different from the past.There is also the matter of selling wild boars. In his dreams, there are white money floating in front of his eyes. This is the capital for his future survival, so he must pay great attention to it.

After dinner, they set off. Yesterday, they discussed whether to borrow the ox cart, or let Cheng Ge drag the shelf.However, adding another bastard today, Xu Nuo was a little hesitant, fearing that Cheng Ge would not be able to hold them back.

"Let's walk, don't tire you out if it's too heavy, your body is the capital of your life." Promised to put some pheasants and hares on the shelf, and wanted to walk with Erdan.

"It's okay." Cheng Ge's voice was low with a hint of joy, "You all go up, this way you can go faster. You can catch up on your sleep, and I will call you when I arrive."

"Huh?" Xu Nuo turned to look at Cheng Ge suspiciously, just in time to see the flickering smile at the corner of his mouth. "Ah! Cheng Ge, you laughed."

This discovery encouraged Xu Nuo, with joy on his face, "You should just smile. Laughing is also a day, and crying is also a day. Why don't we treat ourselves better and smile every day."

"Huh?" Erdan heard what he said, and agreed, "What you said is very reasonable. From now on, we will laugh every day and treat ourselves better."

"Yeah." Xu Nuo nodded to him, and Fu said to Cheng Ge again: "I will make you laugh every day from now on, you are too dull, it is not good for your health."

Cheng Ge is still silent, knowing that if he strikes up a conversation, he will be endless and can annoy you to death.He just waved to them, motioning him and Er Dan to sit on the shelf.

He dragged the shelf steadily and walked quickly, if he didn't want to pretend to be lame, he could go faster.No way, he used this method to break away from the army, and he still has to pretend for a while.

Anyway, what he said to his family was that his leg was injured, and he didn't say that he was really lame, and he could get better anytime.It's just that the time is too short, and he has to use this method to show his weakness. He will not plan to become healthy until there is a place where he can really settle down.

The villagers who went to the town chose to hurry early in the morning.I didn't expect to see a strange scene today, and they were shocked and blinded. They rubbed their eyes over and over again in disbelief, fearing that they were dazzled and misjudged.

I saw a lame young man on the road, walking fast like flying, and dragging a wooden frame.The most important thing is that there are two big wild boars and two teenagers on the shelf, what a lot of effort!

Naturally, Cheng Ge didn't care about these gazes, and just walked quickly while dragging the wooden frame.Xu Nuo didn't have time to take care of these, and looked at the scenery along the way with great interest, with the excitement and anticipation of seeing the ancient town.

But it's a pity that the vegetation has just sprouted in early spring, and only some new green shows vitality.The fields on both sides of the road are also barren, and it is not yet the farming season, so there is nothing to see.

Gradually he lost interest, and drowsiness slowly returned.Er Dan sat next to him, seeing that he stopped chattering and fell asleep little by little, and also closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Cheng Ge was very fast, leaving many ox carts and pedestrians behind. When he was about to reach the town, he woke up Xu Nuo and Er Dan.

"Here we are." Xu Nuo looked around in a daze, and saw that they were less than tens of meters away from the entrance of the town.

He regained his energy, rubbed his eyes and sat up straight without getting off the wooden frame. "Damn, we have sold out the wild boars today, so we must take a good look around."

"Yeah." Erdan was also very happy to be able to come to the town. The family members who often come to the town are his mothers. He is not needed for buying and selling things, and there is almost no chance to come to the town.

The original owner in Xu Nuo's mind came here a few times when he was a child, but he hasn't been here since he was older.Because of his father's affairs, his mother was not very warm to him, and his grandma's family also looked down on him.

Therefore, since the original owner could stay at home alone, his mother never took him out again, and even deprived him of the right to go to grandma's house, so he has very little memory of the outside world.

"My mother!" There were many people entering the town, and they couldn't help exclaiming when they saw Xu Nuo, and their curious eyes all fell on them.

They had never seen Cheng Ge's strength or the two wild boars.There are also two lively teenagers, with bright smiles on their faces, looking around with curious eyes.

So much so that this strange combination of them entered the town like no one else, and even those who guarded the entrance of the town to collect fees forgot to charge them to enter the town.

"Oh." Erdan was more honest, and whispered Xu Xu: "We didn't pay the town fee, so we won't be arrested when we go back later?"

"Huh?" Xu Nuo was taken aback, and asked, "What is the fee? You have to pay when you come to the town. What is the rule?"

"I don't know either." Er Dan said, "Anyway, it's just paying. One person, one penny. It's a rule that has existed over the years. Didn't you see that those migrant workers are all waiting at the entrance of the town, and they will only pay when they have something to do, otherwise A penny!"

"Yeah, a penny is very useful!" Xu Nuo sighed, "I don't have a penny now." He thought to himself: the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in ancient times can't be understood just by hearing about it, it's better to be modern!

Mingshan Town is the largest town nearby, and its business is relatively prosperous. Apart from the main street, there are several streets and alleys full of business shops.

He promised that their first destination today would be the largest restaurant in the town. Mingshan Restaurant was opened by Zhao's family, a big family in the town, and it has been passed down for several generations.

But before they reached the place, they were stopped by a middle-aged man.The man's face was scorching hot, and his eyes were fixed on the two wild boars. "I haven't seen anyone hit a wild boar for many years. It's still so big."

Xu Nuo saw that he was dressed like a normal family member.With his hands behind his back, he carried an imposing manner, and he looked like a rich family, and he looked like he was in charge.

He immediately jumped off the wooden frame, approached with a smile on his face, "Uncle, what do you think of our wild boar? It's still alive."

Xu Nuo stretched out his foot and kicked it, and the wild boar who had closed its eyes and pretended to be dead groaned, opened it with a fierce look, and stared at the people in front of it.

"Ouch!" The middle-aged man took a step back in fright, his back felt cold from the wild boar, and he said with lingering fear: "Sure enough, he is still alive. Fortunately, you are tied up. It is really scary."

Xu Nuo hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it just looks scary, and it's not powerful at all."

Afraid of scaring people away, he hastily kicked the wild boar again, "What's so fierce, be honest with me, do you still want to be beaten?"

"Look." Xu Nuo said to the man: "They are honest, if you think they are scary alive, we will beat them to death for you."

"Hehe." The man said: "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't pay attention just now, and I don't need to be killed to live."

Many people gathered in front of the wild boar. Seeing that the wild boar was so big and fierce, they all cast curious glances at Xu Nuo, "How did you catch this wild boar? It's still alive?"

"Yeah!" Many people were curious, wild boars are rare, especially such big ones.What's even more amazing is that they are still alive, and there is no injury on their body, not even a small wound.

"Sigh." Xu Nuo rubbed his head, pretending to say, "Wild boars have a bad temper and can't be provoked. I got angry after scolding them a few times. Later, Cheng Ge, my family, got impatient to see their stupid appearance, so he tied them up."

These words of his can't fool others at all, but because of the understatement of the promise, these people were stunned for a while, and no one refuted him.

"Pfft." The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing out loud. This young man looked weird at first glance, so he just laughed it off.

"Little brother, how do you sell this wild boar?" The man stopped talking nonsense with him and asked directly about the sale. "I'm the housekeeper of the Zhou mansion, you can just call me housekeeper Zhou. Our old lady is going to celebrate her [-]th birthday soon, and I happen to be shopping for some wild game."

"That's congratulations to the old lady." Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, this is a big deal. "I still have rabbits and pheasants here, and I can also buy them back and add another dish."

"Damn, bring the back frame." After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he told Butler Zhou: "The pheasants and hares are also alive. The old lady is very lucky. She will live a long life and Songhe will prolong her life."

"Not bad, not bad, very good." Butler Zhou was very satisfied with the promise, more precisely, he was very satisfied with the game.Not only are there wild boars that have been rare for many years, but they are all alive, which has a good meaning.

"How much can you set a price for?" Xu Nuo rolled his eyes, but didn't say the price heard in the village.Ask Butler Zhou to give the price. The big family doesn't care about money, so maybe they can sell more.

Steward Zhou pondered for a moment, "In the past, wild boars cost around 24 renminbi, but this time it's alive and it's our old lady's birthday, how about giving you [-] renminbi?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Nuo agreed immediately, "It will be based on your price, thank you Housekeeper Zhou."

"Yeah." Steward Zhou nodded, "However, as long as we have one in our house, we need the biggest one. I have to trouble you to deliver it to the house."

"Of course, you lead the way." Xu Nuo readily agreed, making Cheng Ge put on airs, and they followed Butler Zhou.

The Zhou Mansion is on the east side of the town. After passing the market and turning a few alleys, you will arrive at a group of tall mansions.The roads are spacious and tidy, and the rows of houses are well arranged.

Xu Nuo was jealous for a while, if only he could live here too.Even if there is no modern mansion, it is good to have a house like this, at least it can be more comfortable.

Entering through the back door of the Zhou Mansion, Steward Zhou asked someone to carry the wild boar and weighed it, which weighed a total of 560 jin.There are also a few pheasants and hares, settle the accounts and hand them over to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo thanked him again and again, butler Zhou was so generous that he also counted the pheasants and hares as 18 Wen, which was a lot more money, and he got a total of 360 taels and [-] Wen.

They left the Zhou mansion, promising to carry money in their pockets, and they just answered that sentence, don't worry if you have money in your pocket. "Come on, sell this pig, and we'll have fun in the town."

In Mingshan Restaurant, Xiao Er was reporting with the shopkeeper that someone saw wild boars coming into the town, and it is estimated that they will come to the restaurant in a while.

"Huh." Shopkeeper Zhao snorted coldly, "If you don't come here to sell it, where can you sell it? Can the other small restaurants eat it? Don't worry about it, it's just some muddy legs."

Just as he was talking, he promised that they would come to the restaurant.Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Xiaoer pointed and said: "Don't stand at the door, and send the wild boar to the back."
