Entrepreneurship in a different world

Chapter 72 The Children Living in the Big Oil Drum

A Miao and Dabao squatted next to the fire pit, the sound of saliva has not stopped since Wenrong started baking cakes.

smell good!The two little guys sniffed the burnt aroma in the air, and Wen Rong's heart felt soft and painful when he saw that.

He broke the first baked cake in half, put it in a large porcelain bowl, and told them: "Half for each person".

The two little guys squatted aside holding the porcelain bowl. A Miao went to pick it up and got scalded and shrunk her mouth. Dabao, who was just about to follow suit, immediately withdrew his little hand when he saw it, and looked at the smoking wheat cake , Thinking of the way my father smoked not long ago, he blew on the cake without a teacher.

Wen Rong watched from the side with a smile in his eyes.

Dabao's IQ is definitely not low.

This time, it's A Miao's appearance as Dabao.The scene of two small children touching their foreheads and blowing on the food in the big porcelain bowl together made Wen Rong's heart calm.

He is a patriarch who spoils his children, so half a scone is already a good dinner for others, but after the two children finished eating the half, Wen Rong gave them half a scone each, But this barley cake is relatively small, so he is not afraid that they will fill their stomachs with it.

Put the boiled water away and pour it into a large porcelain bowl. The two children hold the big bowl with their four small hands. You take a sip and I take a sip. After taking a sip, you raise your head and smile at Wen Rong, who laughs with them. .

Wen Rong ate a piece of scone by himself and drank a large bowl of water to fill his stomach, and continued to scone with his hands.

When the fourth cake was almost baked, there were messy footsteps outside the wooden house.

A Miao immediately ran to the door, squatted there, staring at the hole with burning eyes.

As soon as Ah He's body leaned in, Ah Miao rushed forward, "Ah!"

A Miao will really feel at ease when her brother is back.

"Brother Wen, are we fast?" Ah He patted his younger brother's little head and immediately asked Wen Rong for credit.

"Quick! Really fast." It's probably about an hour later than they came back.

Ah He withdrew his head, placed the straw basket at an angle to send it in through the hole, and Wen Rong went over to give him a hand.

"We picked six baskets of flowers and harvested three bags of grass." Ah He was very excited. It was the first time he sent a job to hire others, and the task was successfully completed.

"So many? Where did you go to get them?" If there are so many, you should go to a more remote place to get them smoothly.

"At the location of 'Youshan Lake', a large piece of grass has grown over there this year. Ado took me there."

The name sounded familiar.

The 'boots' were sent into the wooden house one after another, and half of the space in the house was taken up.

"Ah Tu and the others are still waiting outside to get the wheat cakes." Ah He smelled a good smell, which has been smelled since entering their street.

"You let them wait for 10 minutes." Wen Rong thought for a while, and planned to bake the remaining six cakes.

Ah He went out to explain something, and the remaining five teenagers sat at the door and waited.

Not long after, more of that burnt smell wafted out from Ahe's wooden house.The stomachs of boys and girls sang a chorus together.

"It smells so good!" Someone said, "Ahe, your house smells so good."

"It's not our family's fragrance, it's our family's wheat cake fragrance." Ah He raised his chin proudly, "I've told you many times, Brother Wen will never lie. He even baked cakes for you. Do you know scones? I went to 'Nishia City' and saw someone selling them at the gate of the city, and one asked for three marrow coins."

"Three marrow coins?!" A girl couldn't believe it, "Then who would buy it? Only the foreman of the big manor can afford it."

"There are more rich people in big cities." It was a boy's voice.

"I heard from the administrator in our district that the price of goods and wages are high there. In fact, I really want to work there." This is the ideal of a teenager full of melancholy and expectation.

"Don't dream. You can't even enter the city gate without marrow coins. People from us will not be hired to work in the city."

Ah He listened to the conversation between them, as if he also thought the same way the day before yesterday.But just now, his tone has changed a bit when he talked about the entry of one marrow coin into the city and three marrow coins for a piece of baked wheat cake.

"Ahe, have you entered the city yet?"

"Where is the money to go in?" Ah He replied, "We just took a look outside and learned a lot."

Through the not-so-thick wooden board, Wen Rong could clearly hear the conversations of the teenagers outside while flipping the scones in his hands.

Ah He's vigilance made Wen Rong feel at ease.This kid didn't get carried away just because they went to the city, and told others everything they did.

As he said at the beginning, his mouth is very strict.

After a while, Wen Rong brought out five pieces of scones in a large porcelain bowl, and he held a bunch of burning 'iron thorn grass' as a torch in his hand.

Borrowing the light, the eyes of the five teenagers outside were all fixed on the baked wheatbread.

Really wheat cake, or toasted wheat cake.

These wheat cakes are not as hard as a stone, but bulging, with a browned surface, and the nice burnt aroma that they smelled just now emanates from them.

The five teenagers gulped their saliva uncontrollably.

Facing the light from the five pairs of bright eyes, Wen Rong greeted softly, "Take your reward!"

Wen Rong waited for a while, but these teenagers didn't move.

He observed for a while, and found that some of them quietly put their hands on their knees and rubbed them, while others didn't dare to be the first to do it.

Wen Rong picked up a scone and handed it to the boy closest to him, "Take it, it's nothing special."

"Are you really giving it to us?" When they were talking outside just now, everyone said it quite comfortably, but when it came time to put the toasted wheatbread at hand, they couldn't believe it.

"This is your reward. I'll give you a wheatbread if you help me with the work." Wen Rong said in a soft voice.

"But, is this wheat cake baked or soft?" A girl next to him reminded Wen Rong, "You are at a disadvantage."

Wen Rong only felt that they were too simple, and was still worried about whether he would suffer or not.

"You not only brought back flowers but also brought back three big bags of 'Iron Thornweed' for us, which is what you deserve. It was said at the time that picking flowers is a wheat cake, and you should get as much as you can."

With the experience of dealing with Ah He, Wen Rong is confident that he can definitely convince them.

The five teenagers looked at each other, and the leader stretched out his hand timidly, not daring to spread it out for fear of being seen with stains on his hands.

Wen Rong pretended not to see it at all, and put the scones in his hands, "It's still hot, remember to eat it quickly, it will harden again when it cools down."

"Yeah!" The young man held the scone in both hands, feeling the heat from his palms all the way to his whole body, and his face turned red, "I, my name is Atu. I'll bring you flowers tomorrow, no, No pay."

Although I don't know why this person specifically needs the 'Iron Thorn Flower', he is willing to help him collect these flowers, anyway, they will not leave any flowers when they pull the weeds.

"Are you the one who runs fast?" Wen Rong remembered his name.

"That's him." Ah He said, "Aunt Xia Lan said he can run faster than a car."

The young Atu lowered his head shyly.

Run faster than a car?He still couldn't believe it, but the boy's honest eyes made him have a good impression of him.

Wen Rong patted the top of his head, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Ah Tu's neck tightened, and the tips of his ears turned red.

This Brother Wen is really, as Ah He said, very good.

Ah Tu seemed to be the leader of this group of teenagers. After he accepted the reward, the other teenagers also took over.

"Come home, it's getting late."

The youngsters took their own straw baskets and snakeskin bags, surrounded each other and walked away.

Seeing the wind blowing under their feet, it is a happy thing for each of them to be able to gain something today.

Wen Rong saw that they had only walked seven or eight meters away, and before they left the street, they got into several large oil barrels next to them one after another.

Wen Rong looked back at Ah He.

"They are children who live in an oil barrel, and I lived there before." Ahe explained, "I owe it to Aunt Xia Lan, who is friends with my mother."

Otherwise, he should still be living in the oil drum now.

The children who live there have no family or care.Wen Rong sighed, and when he turned to go back, he heard several children cheering from the oil barrel.

"Wow~ Brother Atu, I earned food today!"

"Sister Caiyi also has it."

"Brother Daguan also has it!"

"There's Brother Xiaoguan, and Brother Hongye too. It's soft and hot pancakes!"

Probably because the voice was too loud, it was stopped by someone, and all the children's voices were silenced at once.

But this joy still reached Wen Rong's ears.

"There are children there?"

"That's right. There are children of all ages living in that kind of big oil barrel. Ah Tu is two years older than me. He could have come out and lived on his own long ago, but he didn't. Because the older children have to take care of the younger ones." Child." Ah He blamed himself, "I'm useless, I can only support my younger brother."

Wen Rong leaned his head over and rubbed the back of his head, "Don't say that, you are already great."

At the age of 12, he took his young brother out of the big oil tank. He just wanted to make a better life for himself and his brother, and there was nothing wrong with him.

"Go back to the scones, there are two left for you."

Ah He grinned, but it was an expression uglier than crying, "I am luckier than them. I have a mother. After my mother is gone, I just lived in a big oil tank for a while. Aunt Xia Lan will take care of me and introduce some Jobs, these are things they don't have..."

"Got it." Wen Rong pushed him by the shoulder and led him into the room.

If you want to compare luck, then in this world, there are many more lucky people than them living in the 'Ghost Cave'.

How can it be compared?
