Chapter 287 Boneless Chicken Fillet (6)
It was rare to have nothing to do, so Ji Caimai said a few more words.
"To be honest, having a stomachache is not a big deal for those people who set up stalls to make ends meet," Ji Caimai said, and glanced at Lin Fei and the others. It will be fine in a day or two, and nothing major will happen. Compared with this, if you don’t spend a day in the stall, the whole family may be hungry!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan's expression froze.
This reaction fell into Ji Caimai's eyes. Although Liu Yuan didn't say anything, it was no different from saying everything.
"Does Liu Sicheng think the old man's words are too exaggerated?" Ji Caimai smiled, and the smile on his face was put away, and before Liu Yuan could speak, he continued, "Even the city of Chang'an, which is coming from all directions, , and there are still many people who have problems getting enough to eat! These people don’t refer to the beggars and refugees outside the city, but the small vendors who set up stalls in the market have to worry about getting enough to eat every day!”
Liu Yuan was not born into a wealthy family, and his family did some small business to maintain food and clothing for him to study. He himself is considered hardworking, and he didn't get into the school of the Imperial College where the doctor of teaching is located. He forced himself to study hard, made a name for himself in the ordinary school, stood out in the scientific examination, and then entered Dali. The temple is the prime minister of the temple. For many children of the same birth, Liu Yuan can be regarded as a full-fledged "talent".
But even so, it is not easy for Liu Yuan to afford a decent house in Chang'an City. He has worked in Dali Temple for a few years, and he is renting a house at this time. He dare not spend money recklessly. The clothes and robes on his body are all old clothes, and he can't add a few new clothes all year round.
It is also because of this that Liu Yuan always thought that he was a real ordinary citizen among the officials of the Great Rong, and he understood the livelihood of the people he saw every day.
Although I don’t have a lot of money at the moment, I can use it carefully, and I have saved some money. Although it is not much, I can’t say I don’t have it. After two years to marry a wife, with the help of parents and my own money, I can issue an IOU with the yamen, borrow some more, and buy a smaller house in a bad location, and then I will be careful with my wife. Live, while slowly paying back the money.
Liu Yuan thought that he had nothing to do with being "rich" these days, and even felt a little tight, but he didn't expect that he didn't see the real tightness.
"Many street vendors don't even have any savings on hand. There is a family waiting to eat, and renting a house is a lot of money." Ji Caimai said, glanced at Wen Mingtang, who was packing a gift box of snacks, and said, " Although the errand wages in the yamen are not very good, at least they have solved the big problems of food and lodging, and there are still some left over. If you don’t believe me, ask Master Wen if this is the reason?”
Wen Mingtang, who lives alone, has a deep understanding of this. Hearing this, he raised his head to look at Liu Yuan, and said, "Ji Caimai is right! Chang'an City is prosperous and extravagant, but for most people, they can only look at it." Day!" At this point, Wen Mingtang paused, thinking of the "rich and noble idlers" who were eating, drinking and having fun all day long in the case that Zhao Mengzhuo, the Minister of Dali Temple, was finishing up and solving, the girl couldn't help shaking. He shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'm not as rich as I am, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing. What the street vendors said in their daily records are not exaggerated at all, they are all true, what's more, it's even worse !"
It would be better if I just opened my mouth and God gave me a good body, but the matter of body is hard to say, if it is not good, then it is really... tsk tsk!
Furthermore, Darong is not like the modern society. It is difficult to say how many children there are. Children are born and raised, even if they have been raised very harshly, there is always an extra mouth.
The whole family relies on a small stall for a living, so they dare not relax for a day, otherwise the whole family will starve.
Ji Caimai on the side nodded along. After all, he came out of the palace after fumbling around. Although he is not very old, he knows these things.
Hearing what the two said, Liu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the list in his hand.
Although the dishes on the list in hand are not many compared to the table full of dishes at the Duke’s birthday banquet, the dishes on the banquet will not be like the home-cooked dishes that are fried. Usually only one dish is used, which is fried There are several kinds of ingredients involved in this vegetarian dish. In this way, although there are not many dishes, but if you count them in detail, there are twenty or thirty sources of the ingredients involved.
There are quite a few investigations in 20 or 30 places, not to mention that the stomach trouble is not an exception, and the problematic ingredients are certainly not limited to those used in the Duke’s birthday banquet.
Lin Fei who was listening on the side finished eating the boneless chicken tenderloin in his hand slowly, stepped forward to take the gift box of snacks from Wen Mingtang, turned around and said to Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, "Let's go, go and meet Wei Fu before we talk!"
I haven’t seen anyone from Wei Fu for several days. If the matter is important and it is difficult to investigate alone, with Wei Fu’s temperament, he is not the kind who waits to save face and suffer. He will definitely come to Dali Temple for help. When the case was settled, everyone in Dali Temple had nothing to do, so naturally they would not refuse.
But right now Wei Fu doesn't come to help, and he doesn't see the villain coming back after catching the teaser. It's always a bit strange, and I don't know what happened to Wei Fu.
What happened to Wei Fu's place will be known when Lin Fei and others arrive at Wei's house.
In broad daylight, the door of Wei's house was not closed. The person standing at the door knocked on the wide open door. Liu Yuan put his head in while his feet were outside the door: "Is there someone?"
Hearing the sound, the door of the room directly opposite opened, and two half-aged children opened the door. After seeing Liu Yuan's face, they immediately called out "Uncle Liu" happily, and then walked out of the room. walked out.
The faces of the two of them were acceptable, but when they came out, the way they walked was obviously a little vain.
Lin Fei twitched his brows when he saw the two children walking in a fluffy way, and immediately asked, "Are you still having stomach trouble these days?"
Although the two children have never spoken to Lin Fei, they have seen Lin Fei from afar because of Wei Fu's duty in Dali Temple. Hearing Lin Fei's question, he called out "Lin Shaoqing", then nodded, subconsciously rubbed his stomach, and replied: "These days have been intermittent, good times and bad times, although it's not serious, the doctor said All the medicines are useful, but after all, I feel a little lackluster.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuan subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth: Can he be energetic? The cure for stomach upset is to take medicine and eat lightly.
I have been having stomach troubles intermittently. These days, I am afraid that I have been taking medicine and eating porridge and side dishes. There is no oil or water in my stomach for a few days, and I have stomach troubles from time to time. It is strange to be energetic!
