Chapter 84: Magical Realism (2)

April twelve, sunny day.

After the Inks announced that the work was closed for one day in the morning, the workers happily made an appointment to go out.

After working hard for more than a month, the workers are all flesh and blood, and all the depression and irritability accumulated over a month need to be vented.

The poor venting is nothing more than wine, meat, and women.

Qin State implemented a ban on alcohol at the bottom, so the highlight changed from "going drunk and then having fun at Nulu" to "having a good meal, then having fun at Nulu".

Ju Zizhou followed Zhiheyou, who had a better relationship, and had a meal in the city, and came to Nulu together - of course, it was a very low-level Nulu and high-end one, and they could not afford to go.

The lower-class female neighbors are usually in the north of the city, and the environment here is extremely poor, which is very different from what Ju Zizhou has seen in the south of the city in the past. The roads are extremely uneven, the civilian state is extremely poor, the public security situation is extremely poor, and the houses are extremely low.

Ju Zizhou walked through an alley and looked at a black-faced woman half-closed the door, winking at herself; crossing another street, two twelve-year-old boys blocked a young boy at the intersection, cut off the road in front and cut off the retreat in the back. He said something and did not take action, which would not constitute a violation of "private fight" and would not extort. He said that he borrowed money, and the husbands who were passing by looked at it slantedly and ignored it.

No one breaks the law.

Zhi was very happy and took Ju Zizhou and You to Nu Lu's place with him. He was not long-winded. He just patted his wallet on his waist, and immediately a thug who recognized him came up.

"Zhi, you've made a fortune!" The thug looked at Yo, winked, and saw Ju Zizhou again, his eyes lit up: "Have you actually brought the new customer? This time it's a bit cheaper!"

"Do you want me to take advantage of me? What do you say? Nai Weng is a poor man... rich..." He said, and then patted his own wallet. It seemed that this bag of money could give him great courage, so he became confident: "Money!"

The thug glanced at the bulging wallet, and the voice was elongated and meaningful: "Oh~ I'm really rich!"

"To be honest, it seems that many regular customers have attracted new customers today, and they all seem to have made a fortune... How about it? Is there any way to make a fortune?" asked the thug.

"So many questions!" Zhi looked mysterious and couldn't help but want to show off: "I said to you, don't talk to others!"

"Okay, okay, that's natural!" The thug came over.

Zhi looked around and said, "Listen to me, it was outside the city that the king built a large furnace and wanted to burn copper and iron. I worked in it and I could get five taels of money a day!"

"Oh! Wuliang!" The thug made a slightly stiff and surprised expression. He obviously knew about it: "But I heard that the workmanship for the king is extremely tiring!"

"What do you know!" Zhi scoffed: "Don't be tired, and rich worker, when will it be your turn to do it?"

"So! What you said is reasonable." The thug was finally convinced: "It makes sense."

As they spoke, four husbands emerged from the low and dull inner room, followed by four women, all standing in a darker place, with ambiguous light and unable to see their faces clearly, and only the flow of dusk air.

"Wow!" Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked back at You and Ju Zizhou: "Yu, Zhou, you two can choose what you like first!"

He patted his chest and took a lot of money: "I will pay for the expenses today!"

He said, looking at the thug again: "Remember, I'll pay the bill!"

"Is that right?" The thug looked up and down at Zhi: "You are as generous as you!"

Zhi stalked with his head, first chose a woman standing in the dark, got into the low and dull room, and turned around and said, "Hurry up, you two! Oh, don't be like last time!"

Yo was a little embarrassed, licked his tongue and straightened his chest: "That was natural, last time... last time it was an accident!"

He said, his palms constantly clenched, loosened, pinched, loosened again.

After a while, under the stiff and mocking smirk of the thug, he walked towards the three women standing in the dark, picked one of them and entered the same low dark room.

The thug then turned his attention to Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou smiled and did not walk towards the woman, but came to the thug.

The thug looked at Ju Zizhou with a smile: "What? Are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid." Ju Zizhou smiled: "It's because I'm tired. You know, the workmanship on the copper and iron furnace... is very tiring!"

"I heard of this...but I also heard that you can have two meals a day when you are there!"

Ju Zizhou nodded and sighed slightly: "Yes, you can have two meals a day, and you can eat a lot of food."

"Dry food? Eat full!" The thug was moved: "Is it a money to eat?"

"The workmanship is for food and accommodation." Ju Zizhou smiled: "But it is so tired that I just want to find a place to sniff for a while, and I don't want to move my fingers."

"Is that true?" The thug looked up and down at Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou is higher than rank and Yo, and is not as thin as them. Overall, he is still relatively strong.

When Ju Zizhou saw the thug looking at him, he said, "I am stronger than both of them, so I do more and heavier work than them, so I am now tired than them."

"This is what it should be." The thug was deeply touched and his tone was eased: "I used to be the same when I served."

"Speaking of this, I've been working on that big stove for a month. I don't know how Xianyang is doing recently."

"It's been January?" asked the thug.

"Yes, it's January, ten yuan a day, two meals are enough, and there is a meal of paste to eat every ten days." Ju Zizhou replied.

"So good!" The man said: "Is the rich man so much?"

"Yes, please be full." Ju Zizhou smiled and said, "I get three hundred dollars in one month!"

The thug's breathing was stagnant: "Three hundred!"

One acre of land on the ground can harvest nearly two stones of millet in a good year; one stone in the middle ground can be more than one stone; one stone in the lower ground can be less than one stone.

The most important thing is to keep the meal in hand!

Two meals a day, dry meals, and fullness!

In other words, three hundred yuan a month is pure profit!

He smacked his lips: "Is that big stove still short of manpower?"

"If you want to go, I can ask for a quota for you." Ju Zizhou smiled; "I won't accept you money."

"Is it true?"

"You are old friends with Zhi. Ask him when I have deceived him?" Ju Zizhou said.

"This..." The thug hesitated: "Brother, what are you calling?"

"You call me Zhou." Ju Zizhou said, "By the way, how much money are you getting in a month?"

"This..." The thug hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Forget it." Ju Zizhou waved his hand: "I won't mention this... By the way, has the price of food and salt in Xianyang City increased again this month?"

"No." said the thug: "It hasn't risen after February."

"So? Then I can buy some grain and salt and go home to visit my father!" Ju Zizhou laughed and said, "By the way, where is the cloth price?"

"I don't know this...but it probably didn't rise." The thug hesitated.

"So, brother, what are your name?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"My name is Gou." Gou said.

"How old is it? Tell me, I'll get a job quota for you when I go back to the construction site in the evening!" Ju Zizhou said.

"sixteen."

"Are you a native of Xianyang?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"Yes." Gou nodded.

"Have you married?" Ju Zizhou asked again immediately.

"Marry." Although Gou was a little confused, he still answered quickly.

"Have you a child?" The question is urgent and fast.

"Not yet." Gou answered immediately before he could think.

"The price of Nulu has not increased?" asked anxiously.

"No!" answered without hesitation.

"The price of cloth, grain, salt, pig fat, dog meat, and straw sandals have not increased?" Ju Zizhou asked with a ball of cannons.

"Not even!" Gou replied subconsciously.

After answering, Gou looked forward to Ju Zizhou's next question.

However, there is no problem at all.

Ju Zizhou kept silent, and in the dark, his expression was mysterious.
