Chapter 424: Making a living on your own

The sun rises from behind the mountains, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning wakes up the city of Yanjing.

The quiet town soon became noisy.

The recent city of Yanjing is more than ten times more lively than before.

It had just dawned, and the streets were already crowded with people.

There were all kinds of hawking and noisy sounds everywhere.

"Wontons, hot wontons."

"A bowl of soup cake costs five cents."

As more and more people came to Yanjing to work, some smart people began to do small businesses.

There are too many projects in Yanjing. In order to keep up with the progress, no matter which chamber of commerce, there will never be enough manpower.

In this case, the price of labor is naturally rising.

When working people have money, they will naturally be more generous in their spending.

Therefore, all kinds of hawkers came into being.

The whole city is full of lively atmosphere.

Zhao Da is also one of these many living beings.

At this time, he was eating at a stall selling soup cakes under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

The reason why so many people are watching.

One of the biggest reasons is that this guy Zhao Da is really good at eating.

Today's small traders are all about making small profits but quick turnover.

After all, those who can come to eat at their place are basically those who work hard like Zhao Da.

The taste can be slightly worse, but if the portion is not enough and you are not full, then no one will come to eat at their place.

There are many people around, and they usually consider themselves big-bellied.

Even so, when eating soup cakes at this restaurant, you can only eat two or three bowls at most.

But this Zhao Da has now eaten six bowls of soup cakes and still has no intention of stopping.

"I bet ten cents that he can eat up to seven bowls of soup cakes."

"When I look at you, it's your first time meeting Zhao Da for dinner. Isn't it obvious that you are giving us money? I bet you ten bowls."

"I bet eleven bowls. It is said that Zhao Da worked until midnight yesterday. He consumed so much yesterday that he must have eaten a lot today."

"Nonsense, this bowl is enough for one person. No matter how tired I am, I can't eat that much more. I'm afraid it will kill me. I also think today is ten bowls, so I pay five cents."

Many people around were joining in the fun and actually started gambling games.

These people are relatively restrained, and usually only have three or five pennies.

They would have been reluctant to exchange this money before. But now it is too easy to find a job in Yanjing, and no matter what you do, you can make a lot of money.

There are many people who don't pay much attention to those who have three or five cents.

Just as they were placing their bets, the boss had already brought Zhao Da three more bowls of noodles.

Afterwards, I wiped my sweat and watched Zhao Da eating soup cakes with a smile.

Of course he was happy. Zhao Da alone probably accounted for more than half of the turnover today.

Moreover, it is estimated that any cook will gradually feel a sense of accomplishment when watching Zhao Da eat.

It's so fragrant.

I saw Zhao Da picking up a bowl of soup cake and stirring it quickly with a kuai while blowing on it.

When he felt that it was almost cold, he put the bowl to his mouth and quickly picked up the soup cake.

Suck, suck.

It takes less than two breaths before and after.

When Zhao Da put the bowl down again, all the soup cakes that night had disappeared.

Wow.

The people watching Zhao Da made a soft noise at the same time.

It's not like they haven't seen people eating fast.

We are all lowly people, and no one is necessarily better than Zhao Da when it comes to eating.

But the problem is.

This guy Zhao Da has already eaten seven bowls of noodles before.

If it were them, even if they didn't survive, they probably wouldn't be able to eat anything now, right?

Zhao Da ate three more bowls of soup cakes in one breath, and then patted his belly: "Boss, give me three more bowls of soup cakes."

The people watching the excitement all around exclaimed in surprise.

"I still want to eat. How much can this guy eat?"

“I’ve always heard people talk about people being lazy, but today I’ve really seen what real lazy people are like.”

The soup cake seller did not move, but hesitated and said: "Zhao Da, can you really still eat it? Don't accidentally burst your belly."

"If you really don't have enough, I will give you another bowl, just like usual. Don't insist on it just for the so-called face."

The soup cake seller was obviously afraid that Zhao Daqing, who was young and energetic, would lose his temper after being watched by so many people.

It's not a big deal for those who watch the fun.

Someone jokingly said: "You are such a clueless boss. If someone wants to eat, just let him eat. What does it have to do with you?"

"This is the first time I've heard that food sellers are afraid of what other people eat."

Zhao Da touched his belly and laughed: "Uncle, don't worry. I know how much I can eat, and I'm not forcing it on anyone."

"I have never been full before. Later, when I came to our Yanjing City, I finally knew what it felt like to be full, so I ate a little more."

Everyone around was speechless. Do you call this eating too much?

That's the amount of food.

Not to mention ordinary people, even a slightly wealthy family would probably be destitute by this guy who was reincarnated as a starving ghost.

The boss looked at Zhao Da carefully for a while and saw that his expression was as usual and did not look like he was trying to force himself on, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

I worked hard for a while when I returned to my stall, and soon made three more bowls of soup cakes.

Put it in front of Zhao Da's eyes.

This time, many people watching Zhao Da eat became nervous.

Not because of anything else, but because they made the bet.

Zhao Da didn't even eat a bowl of noodles, so many people who had placed bets were shocked and depressed.

I was shocked that Zhao Da could eat, and was depressed that I had lost the money for a breakfast.

Finally, Zhao Da had enough to eat and drink.

After putting down the money, I left with satisfaction and went to work.

It was only then that the others reacted, and they were about to start working on their side.

I finished the food I ordered in a few mouthfuls, and then rushed to the construction site as quickly as possible.

Although the work on these construction sites is hard, they are very happy doing it.

Because the income from these jobs is much more than what they used to do when they were farming with their backs to the sky.

The people of China are the most hardworking people in the world.

As long as they can create wealth with their own hands, they will never know what fatigue is.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But today, I don’t know what happened.

When Zhao Da came out of the construction site, he found that there were no people coming and going at the gate of the construction site as before.

Instead, he was surrounded by a large group of people.

Zhao Da knew some of the people surrounding the entrance of the construction site because they all worked with him.

Zhao Da stopped a familiar guy and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Everyone is not working, so what are you doing around here?"

The person who was stopped by Zhao Da looked anxious: "What kind of work are you doing? We have no work to do now."

Zhao Da was even more excited than him. He directly took the man's arm, lifted him into the air, and asked sternly: "Why don't you let me work?"

"If there is no work, then I won't have money to earn, and I won't have enough to eat?"

The guy who was lifted into the air by Zhao Da felt that his arm was about to be broken.

He explained with difficulty: "Zhao Da, it's not that I don't let you work, but the bosses who recruit workers don't let us work."

"You...can you put me down first?"

Zhao Da gradually calmed down and quickly put the guy down: "It's so good, why don't you let us work?"

"How do I know? Today we were suddenly not allowed to enter the construction site. It was clearly as promised before, but in the end we were not allowed to do it even if we were told not to do it. Isn't this bullying?"

Zhao Da was furious: "I'll reason with them!"

With that said, he separated from the crowd and headed towards the entrance of the construction site.

This guy's strength was so terrifying that dozens of people were crowded together. Zhao Da casually pushed them away like a chicken, and separated them on both sides.

Soon, Zhao Da had squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the gate of the construction site.

There was a man who looked like a butler here, explaining something to everyone with a forced smile.

But the questioning voices around him completely suppressed his voice.

"It was all agreed before, why don't you let us work now?"

"Yes, yes, I said before that it could be done in a few months, so we followed you here."

"You must give us an explanation."

"You must give us an explanation, otherwise it will definitely not work."

Seeing a happy life right in front of one's eyes, suddenly something like this happened.

Each of these workers is going crazy.

But the more noisy they were, the more no one listened to the man who looked like a butler.

Zhao Da couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly roared: "Quiet the hell, please listen to me first."

This roar was like thunder on the ground.

Several people nearby had their ears buzzing from Zhao Da's roar.

Even those who were far away felt frightened.

Many people looked at Zhao Da in fear.

Is this kind of sound really possible for humans to make?

The man who looked like a housekeeper at the door of the construction site was shaking with fear.

After all, it was obvious that such a cruel guy as Zhao Da was working with those ordinary workers.

If this really angers this guy, what if he goes violent and commits murder?

Seeing that the scene finally became quiet, Zhao Da stared at the man who looked like a butler.

He had never seen this person before. He was not a supervisor on a construction site or anything like that.

"Now tell me why we are not allowed to work all of a sudden." Zhao Da's eyes were as big as a bull's eye.

Although he has tried his best to be more leisurely and kind.

But in the eyes of the housekeeper, it was still no different from a threat.

After swallowing, the butler said with difficulty: "This... this hero."

Zhao Da frowned: "I'm just an ordinary citizen, not a hero. If you have anything to say, just say it. Can you spare the time for my mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"

The housekeeper also knew that he would definitely not be able to escape today.

He could only smile and say, "Hero, you can't blame us."

"Our boss was also frightened. He decided not to do business here in Yanjing, but to go back to his hometown."

Zhao Da's brows almost knitted together: "Are you scared? Did your boss see a ghost or something?"

As soon as these words came out, many people were speechless.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, and each of them was now worried about their future lives, some of them would definitely laugh out loud.

The housekeeper was stunned: "Hero..."

Zhao Da impatiently interrupted the housekeeper: "I've been told that I'm not a hero, but you have something wrong with your ears, don't you?"

The butler changed his mind and said, "Don't this strong man know? Just a few days ago, a businessman was stabbed to death in the street."

"But the murderer who assassinated the businessman was directly acquitted."

"Our boss doesn't want to be killed for no reason one day, without even a place to redress his grievances."

"So, for my own safety, I have no choice but to return to my hometown."

"What?" Zhao Da was furious: "You can't be punished for killing someone on the street. Does this mean there is no law?"

One look at his performance showed that this guy had no idea what was going on.

Someone nearby knew what was going on, so he went over to explain to Zhao Da.

"Brother, I'm afraid you have misunderstood."

Zhao Da was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "Does it mean there was no killing?"

Wang Hu, who came over to explain to Zhao Da, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Zhao Da was really the same as what he appeared to be.

"Brother, this is what happened. The reason why the businessman was assassinated was because he cheated on the workers' wages. The workers couldn't survive anymore, so they killed him in anger."

After speaking, Wang Hu pointed to the housekeeper at the door of the construction site: "Brother, don't listen to others. They only speak for their master."

Zhao Da really didn't think that much before, but now that Wang Hu told the truth about the matter, he became furious again.

Pointing at the housekeeper, he yelled: "What a bastard who helped others. That guy owes others wages, shouldn't he die?"

The steward immediately retorted: "It's just a matter of three or four pieces of silver. Do you want to kill people just for this little money?"

"Uh..." Zhao Da was suddenly speechless.

Wang Hu immediately retorted: "You guys are shameless? In the court, the prince said that these few dollars are nothing to you rich and powerful businessmen."

"But for us ordinary people, it is life-saving money. You are not short of money, so why are you greedy for the little money we have worked hard to earn."

Zhao Da immediately glared at the housekeeper again: "This brother is right."

He just accidentally felt empathy.

Because it was so edible, Zhao Da never had enough to eat since he was a child.

Now I can finally eat enough, and naturally I eat enough every day.

Because of this, although he is strong and able to work, his wages are much more than others.

But most of the wages are used for food.

If someone deducts his wages, I'm afraid that if it doesn't last for at most three to five days, he won't have much money left.

When the time comes, I will have to live a life of being hungry every day again.

Just thinking about it made Zhao Da feel shuddering.

The housekeeper grinned and did not argue with Wang Hu.

"No matter what, our boss is scared now and doesn't want to continue making money in Yanjing. Is this okay?"

Seeing the steward's firm words, the workers were completely panicked.

Zhao Da shouted anxiously: "You are gone, what should we do?"

The housekeeper spread his hands helplessly: "I can't help you, you can fend for yourself."
