Fu second generation upgrade system

The next day Tang Yi got up early, and it took half an hour to go from the village to the town. He had to go early. It was only dawn when he got up, but because he went to bed early the night before, he was not too sleepy.

This is so different from his previous life of day and night, feasting and feasting. Tang Yi unexpectedly found that this kind of life is not bad, and his body is very comfortable. .

As soon as he moved, Wen Yan woke up immediately. The young man rubbed his eyes and asked, "You woke up so early, didn't you sleep well?"

Tang Yi stretched his waist, relaxed all over, yawned and said, "I found a job on the pier, and I'm going to work today, so I have to leave early."

Wen Yan got up quickly, blinking his big eyes: "Then I'll hurry and cook for you."

Tang Yi laughed and said: "Just boil two eggs." Then he remembered the system task and said: "Cook all the eggs, and you can eat them too. The bean noodles left over from yesterday are baked into pancakes. You can fry some at home at noon." Just eat the greens, make sure you have a full stomach, if I come back and see eggs or bean noodles left over, I will be angry if I know you are not full."

Wen Yan is very confused, why this guy is so obsessed with making him full, of course he wants to be full, but there is not much food in the family, and it is not yet the season of spring plowing, the next season will be early, and no one in the village Not willing to eat a round belly.

Tang Yi seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "Brother said, the wages are settled every day, just buy some when I come back. I have hands and feet, and I will definitely not let you starve with me."

There was warmth in Wen Yan's heart. Although it was a chilly morning, he didn't feel cold. He responded softly, and went down to cook.

Tang Yi washed his face, combed his hair and shaved his beard. After tidying up, the meal would be ready. Wen Yan was quick with his hands and feet. At this moment, he not only boiled eggs, but also baked a few bean flour pancakes.

Tang Yi had a small appetite in the morning. After eating two eggs and drinking some water, he didn't want to eat any more. At this time, Tang Shi had already called him outside, and he answered and was about to leave. Wen Yan hurriedly put the bean flour pancake into his arms stuffed.

"Working on the pier is hard work, you take a pancake, it's delicious when you're hungry."

Tang Yi wanted to refuse at first, but Wen Yan persisted, and looked at the three pancakes in the pot, reckoning that they were enough for a teenager, so he didn't say anything, and put the warm pancakes next to his body. In this kind of weather, Can be used as a small stove.

When the two brothers arrived at the pier, the boat just arrived at the port, and there were not many people who came so early, so the two brothers could work earlier, and the more they worked, the more they were paid. The rule here is that the more you work, the more you get.

The steward came from Xiaofeng Village, which is Tang Yi's village, so he took good care of the villagers. Seeing Tang Shi taking Tang Yi with him, he was a little surprised. The lazy man in this village can really work?

It was Tang Shi who repeatedly assured that his younger brother would not be lazy, so the manager sold his face and asked Tang Yi to follow. This made Tang Yi deeply feel that this coolie job was hard-won, and he had to do everything well, so as not to discredit his brother .

The goods on the wharf are divided into two types. The big bags weigh a hundred catties, and you can get one penny for three bags, and the small bags are about fifty catties, and six bags are one penny.Tang Yi was about to vomit blood looking at the huge sack, how much money can he earn in this hard day!

Money is hard to come by!

Tang Shi was used to heavy work, so he picked up the big bag and left. Tang Yi weighed his thin body and chose a [-]-jin bag. Give money.

I was exhausted all morning, but the lunch at noon was thin. Although I was full, I was really not hungry. Tang Yi couldn't help but sigh Wen Yan's foresight. He followed Tang Shi to the bottom of the pot and made a thick bowl of brown rice porridge. Going to the side to eat, he took out a bean flour pancake from his bosom, broke half of it and handed it to Tang Shi.

"Wen Yan brought me bean flour pancakes..."

"Your sister-in-law boiled two potatoes..."

The two brothers took out the prepared food at the same time, said similar words in unison, they were both stunned, watching the food handed over to each other in silence for a second, and burst out laughing.

After all, it is brotherhood.

So Tang Shi and Tang Yi each had a potato and half a bean flour pancake, and they ate it with porridge, which was enough to fill their stomachs. The workers who didn't bring food around were so envious.

Tang Shi never imagined that one day he would be able to get a return meal from his younger brother. He was very excited and said, "You know that you have lived a good life, and my brother feels much more at ease. This little brother Wen is very capable. Look at this pancake baker. Really fragrant, you have to treat people well, and you can't fight again in the future."

Tang Yi was very hungry and felt delicious after eating the pancakes, so he nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't mess around anymore."

Tang Shi nodded in satisfaction.

Tang Yi asked while eating: "Brother, how many days can you do this job?"

Tang Shi thought for a while and said: "Ten days or eight days, this kind of work is temporary, and it won't be long."

Tang Yi did the math, and felt that he would not earn much money in these ten days, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep enough food for a month, so he said: "Then you can accompany me to the town to see if you can find it after work. For other jobs, you have to plan for the future."

Tang Shi looked at this younger brother with admiration. This man has changed a lot, and he even knows that he has to make long-term plans. He was relieved and agreed.

There is almost no rest time after eating, and the workers go back to work. The working time in the afternoon is shorter. The cargo has been moved, and they can only continue working when the next ship arrives tomorrow.

After the work was done, the workers lined up to receive their wages. The manager brought an accountant over and set up a small table. The workers handed in small cards representing the amount of work, and the accountant calculated it out after a lot of calculations.

Tang Yi counted the small cards in his hand. There were six big ones and 56 small ones, which happened to be more than eleven coins and two small ones. Tang Shi, who was next to him, moved [-] big ones and [-] small ones, and he could get nearly [-] Wen.

When the accountant is doing the math, if the workers have leftovers that are not worth a penny, they will be recorded in the account and made up the next day.Tang Yi didn't quite trust these deceitful businessmen, so when it was his turn and Tang Shi, he said, "I'm the one who has more than eleven Wen and two younger ones, my brother has more than sixteen Wen and two big ones, two The small one is better than the big one, and if you give us another penny, we don’t have to put it in the account tomorrow, okay?”

The manager and the accountant were stunned for a moment, Tang Shi was still counting on his fingers, and the accountant asked, "Do you know how to settle accounts?"

Tang Yi nodded: "I will."

The accountant didn't say anything, but looked at the manager, who nodded, and gave them a penny as he said.

Tang Shi was very happy. There are many people in the village who don't know how to settle accounts. In the past, some people were paid less wages after being accounted by the accountant. In this way, as long as he and Tang Yi counted and moved the goods every day, they would no longer need to be accounted. Don't worry about being charged.

Tang Shi gave Tang Yi the extra penny and said, "You take this penny."

Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother, you worked hard today, you take it."

Tang Shi pretended to be angry: "Brother, what are you doing so clean, your family is poor, take it."

Tang Yi didn't refuse any more. He really needed money, and he really didn't want to make a clear deal with this elder brother. In the future, the two families would have to move around frequently.

It wasn't too late, so the two brothers went to the town for a walk. The town was obviously much richer than the village, and there were five or six restaurants, as well as various shops of various sizes.

Tang Yi went to buy some grain first. Under Tang Shi's guidance, he bought the cheapest miscellaneous grain noodles, but he chose the most delicate one. It didn't make his throat hurt when he ate it. He bought miscellaneous grain noodles for a penny and two catties. I bought ten catties and spent five Wen.The wages were reduced by nearly half at once, and Tang Yi was also very distressed.

Afterwards, the two brothers went to the town's job recruitment wall and looked at it. They saw that the date was probably a long time ago, and there was nothing they could do, so the two brothers could only stroll around the town to see if there was any work.

Passing by the door of a Fenglai bookstore, Tang Yi stopped, Tang Shi saw this and asked: "What are you doing here, and you can't read."

Tang Yi: "..." Well, the original body is illiterate, although Tang Yi wants to do some book copying, but if he does, he will be suspicious, so he will continue to pretend now, or... ...seek opportunities to start over.

So he warmed up Tang Shi in advance and said, "Brother, I want to study."

Tang Shi was startled, touched his younger brother's forehead, it wasn't hot at all!

"You are already twenty, why did you suddenly think of this? Studying can cost money. How can people in our village afford it? Don't even think about it, let's go!"

Tang Yi insisted: "I just want to study, even if I can't afford it now, it's always okay to go in and have a look." As he said, he raised his foot and walked into the bookstore. Tang Shi had no choice but shook his head and sighed to keep up, for fear The younger brother suddenly thought of studying, which was a money-burning business, and his family couldn't afford it, and it's still uncertain what life will be like.

As soon as he entered the door, a clerk greeted him, looked the Tang family brothers up and down, and said contemptuously, "Are you here to buy books or pens and ink?"

Tang Shi felt a little weak when he entered the shop full of ink fragrance, and he became even weaker when the clerk asked arrogantly, unable to say a word.On the contrary, Tang Yi was generous and asked, "How do you sell the cheapest paper and pen here?"

As soon as the clerk heard that he came up and asked the cheapest one, he was even more sure that these two people couldn't afford it. He shook his legs and rolled his eyes and said, "The cheapest rough linen paper is one tael of silver a knife, and the cheapest writing brush Two taels of silver each, do you want to buy it?"

Tang Yi did the math. If he wanted to buy the cheapest paper, he would have to work on the pier for a hundred days without eating or drinking. He understood why it was difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. Paper and pens are enough to keep poor families away, not to mention ink, inkstone and books that cost more money. No wonder Tang Shi is so afraid when he hears that he wants to study.

The two obviously couldn't afford it, and Tang Yi just wanted to see the price this time, so he asked and left.Xiaoer was ridiculed for a while.

Tang Shi wiped off his sweat after going out, and said, "Let's go, you heard it too, it's not easy for our farm family to earn some money a year, so don't spend it on it." That pen was worth their family's annual income Yes, isn't it fatal!

Unexpectedly, Tang Yi did not give up, but instead asked: "Are there any other bookstores in the town, let's take a look."

Tang Shi was so startled that he jumped his feet. How dare this stupid brother really dive into the book and can't get out?This is how to do!

Tang Yi seemed to see his uneasiness, and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, I won't buy it now. If I want to study, I have to pay for myself one day. I'll go and have a look first."

Only then was Tang Shi slightly relieved, and said: "There is another one in the west of the town, but it is not as big as this one. There are not many scholars in the town, and there are not many bookstores. The small one in the west of the town is probably going to collapse."

Tang Yi said: "That's just right. If it's going to be dumped, things will be cheaper. Let's go and have a look."
