After taking a shower, Li Xiaojiu grinned from being rubbed. It was indeed very painful, but he had never felt that his body would be so clean before. The thing called soap just now was quite good.
When he came out from the other side, Li Xiaojiu received a set of clothes of his own. What surprised him was that the clothes were still fine linen clothes, and he was also given underwear. After changing from the inside out, he walked out After that, the other party asked him to wait for Li Xiaoshi again.
When Li Xiaoshi also changed into a small outfit and came out, Li Xiaojiu suddenly realized that his sister was actually pretty good-looking.
Taking her further forward, there was another large wooden house. Before walking in, Li Xiaojiu smelled the aroma, the aroma of meat.
"Brother, it's mutton." Li Xiaoshi's nose was obviously better, she swallowed and said.
"Yeah." Li Xiaojiu nodded.
"Come in." Two people in white aprons said at the door.
Li Xiaojiu and Li Xiaoshi hurriedly followed. When they entered, someone gave them a wooden tray, a chopstick with some dents on it, and a large wooden bowl.
After picking up their things and moving forward, they soon saw the large wooden barrel in front of them, and the rich smell of meat came from inside.
Seeing them coming, the cook didn't say anything. Instead, he opened the lid of the wooden barrel and used a large spoon to fill a wooden bowl with a bowl of mutton soup for Li Xiaoshi, who was holding the plate in front of him. There were still a few pieces of mutton soup in it. The mutton floats.
Then he gave Li Xiaojiu another bowl, which also contained meat.
Walking forward to the next place, there were several huge baskets. When the other party opened them, Li Xiaojiu's eyes widened. They were actually steamed buns! And it’s not whole grain! Although the noodles are not white, there is no bran mixed in them.
The steamed buns were very big, even bigger than the big bowl on his plate. The other party gave Li Xiaoshi half a small one and gave him one.
"My sister is very good at eating, can you give her one?" Li Xiaojiu asked tentatively. They haven't had a full meal in a long time, and when they see food, they want more.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, but the doctor said that if you don't want her to die, don't eat so much. You guys haven't had enough to eat for a long time. It's the first time you eat such a good meal. If you overeat, you will die easily." The chef looked at her. He glanced at him and said.
Li Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment. He suddenly thought of one of his previous companions. He picked up a lunch box that a wealthy family used to deliver meals. He didn't want any of the delicious food in it. Then he ate it all in one go and showed off to them when he went back. , he had the most delicious full meal, the best!
Then he fell asleep and never woke up.
Anyway, when Li Xiaojiu woke up the next day, his body was already hard.
"I understand, thank you, father-in-law." Li Xiaojiu said softly. The other person looked to be in his thirties or forties, so calling him "father-in-law" was not too much.
"Well, thanks to His Highness' kindness, you have food to eat every day. Don't be afraid of not being full, so remember not to eat too much for the first meal." The other party explained again.
Li Xiaojiu nodded, and then took Xiao Shi to the table next to him to eat.
Xilihulu, the two of them quickly finished eating the food in the bowl. When they felt that they were almost full, Li Xiaojiu still had a small half of the steamed bun. He resisted himself from eating it, but secretly stuffed it in. In arms.
He was afraid that if he ate too much and died, no one would be able to take care of Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi licked her lips and looked at him and said, "Brother, it's delicious. I can still eat it."
Li Xiaojiu reached out and touched her belly, which was completely swollen.
"You can't eat. Don't eat too much at one time. Wait until the next meal." Li Xiaojiu warned.
"Yeah." Li Xiaoshi nodded obediently.
After eating, they followed each other's request, washed the plates in their hands, put them there, and then walked out.
This time, the people outside were already waiting for them. The other party took them to two big houses. There were already prepared beds inside, which were all made of wood and had two floors. Not only are there beds, but everyone has clean quilts!
Here, Li Xiaojiu saw beggars who came from the same place as him, and they all had no problems.
"You have nothing to do today, so take a rest here first. Then starting from this afternoon, a master will come over to teach you how to read. If anyone is willing to learn how to read, go and learn by yourself. No one is here to rush you. As for how to do it, It's up to you." The steward at the door said.
Li Xiaojiu and the others looked at each other in surprise. How could they still read and write? Every one of them has thought about studying! Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Shu actually asked people to teach them how to read! Li Xiaojiu's biggest wish was to study, but he knew that he had no chance, and the scene that happened in front of him was something he had never imagined in his dreams.
"Xiao Jiu, look, I just said His Highness the King of Shu is a good man!" The little boy who came with him said excitedly.
"Yeah." Li Xiaojiu nodded heavily this time, and an idea popped up in his little head. It's a pity that such a good King of Shu is not the prince. If he were the prince, when he became the emperor, the world would be All children like him can live such a life.
"By the way, I can't tell you anymore. I want to take my sister to see a doctor. A doctor just asked me to go find him." Li Xiaojiu remembered something and said quickly.
"Okay! Go quickly."
Li Xiaojiu held Xiao Shi's hand and walked out of the place where he lived. He looked around. It was a huge courtyard. In the distance, he could see wooden walls. The wooden houses were all newly built. I saw that the ground was still the original wasteland.
There were many houses here, and Li Xiaojiu quickly found a red gourd on a flag hanging in front of a house.
He took Xiao Shi over. He didn't see the doctor inside, but there was another doctor here. After showing it to Xiao Shi, he said that Xiao Shi had no big problem and the wind and cold were not serious. Come here again and boil some medicine for Xiao Shi when the time comes.
Li Xiaojiu felt a little happy before returning to where he lived.
When entering the house, Li Xiaojiu looked at the somewhat messy environment around him, and suddenly his nose felt a little sore. He felt that it would be great if this place could always exist. His Highness, King Shu, should let this place continue to exist, right? Well, it definitely will!
…
What Li Xiaojiu didn't know was that not far from his neighbor, this was the place responsible for resettling the refugees. The refugees here followed the same procedures as before, including bathing and eating. However, no clothes were given out, but the manager told them that as long as they worked hard, they would have new clothes to wear.
And those adult beggars who are actually relatively healthy are also arranged here. Of course, if they don't want to work, don't blame Li Ke for taking action.
In ancient times, there were also those who were too lazy to cook. To deal with these people, Li Ke was not as gentle as modern people. If he gave you food but didn't eat it, he could only give you military sticks.
The salary standard here was naturally told to these refugees by the manager. His Highness, King Shu, is in charge of food, food and housing. He works about 6 hours a day, and the monthly salary for a strong laborer is about 120 Wen.
Hearing this salary, all the refugees were shocked, because this salary means that a strong laborer who works for His Highness the King of Shu for a month can buy one stone of coarse rice!
And it also takes care of food and accommodation!
