Zhang Yiwan can't remember clearly what meat tastes. It's not that he has no money and can't afford meat, but that he is reluctant to buy it. The money he earns has to buy dowry for his sister, build a house for his younger brother, and buy a house for his family. How can he not be enough? Where can he have free money to buy meat to eat?

He couldn't remember when he last ate meat. It seemed that when his second brother got married, the white bread and pickles were already a great delicacy in his eyes. The meat was too luxurious. It was not that he didn't like to eat it, but that he didn't dare to think about it. Usually, he just drank some batter and had a sesame cake. He rarely drank porridge because rice was more expensive than coarse noodles.

Perhaps he is like Luo Zongshan, with the dream of eating meat every meal when he is rich. Now it seems that the wages are similar everywhere, and there are white flour buns and meat here, so why not go there?

He could not find a reason to refuse, so he squeezed in without hesitation and signed up. Soon, he followed behind a Tunwei with ten fellow villagers, crossed the overpass, and crossed several corridors to another railway station.

There are so many trains in this train station, but they are all trucks, and there is not a single bus. He has been taking the train for more than ten days, so he naturally knows what a truck is and what a bus is. Isn’t this truck a truck a cargo? Why are they brought here to work? Are they now starting to work?

He had no objection to when he started working. The earlier he started working, the sooner he made money. He even had a little expectation, hoping that he would start working immediately.

However, he was disappointed. The Natun Guard took them to turn left and right in the truck pile, and finally came to a truck. There were no goods next to it, only rows of Tun Guards standing there. There were about a dozen standing on both sides of each carriage. He did nothing and stood there straight.

The guard who led the way reported a few words to a hundred households, then took them to the outside of the first carriage and directly ordered: "Put the salute first. Those who want to sleep can go in and fall asleep. Those who don't want to sleep can sit inside or squat outside. Don't go too far. I'm not responsible if I get lost."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back, as if he had continued to pick up the others.

Zhang Yiwan thought about it and climbed into the carriage with a few fellow villagers. It wasn't that he had any luggage, so he changed his clothes and carried it on his back with a piece of rag. It had no weight at all. It was the same whether it was placed or not. He just wanted to see what the carriage looked like.

He climbed up and saw that he was stunned. There were so many straw mats on the floor. I don’t know how many of them were. Except for a narrow passage in the middle, the straw mats on both sides were half a foot high!

Just as he was standing there in a daze, a humming sound suddenly came from the dark corner in front of him. Everyone couldn't help but look at it. There was a pig cage in the innermost corner, and more than ten white little piglets were arching around inside.

The little piglets couldn't buy them for food, everyone couldn't help but surround them with curiosity and started to discuss.

There were more and more people coming in outside, and the carriages became more and more lively. Everyone came from Nanyang Prefecture, Runing Mansion and Ruzhou. It can be said that they were all fellow villagers and they were not very distant from each other. Everyone had aspirations for a better life, so they naturally had many common topics when they talked about, and the most talked about was coal mining.

In everyone's impression, coal mining is to drill into deep coal shafts, dig one hoe and one hoe, and then carry it up with a load. It is not impossible to dig two or three thousand kilograms a day. It mainly depends on the depth of the mine and the distance of the distance. If the mine is not deep, the place where the coal is paid is also close. After digging for six or seven hours a day, two or three thousand kilograms can be dug out.

After everyone chatted for about an hour, the Tun Guard outside also climbed up. It seemed that there was the Qianhu Lord who had been shouting on the platform. As soon as he came in, he shouted again: "Everyone has sat down and drove immediately."

The truck compartment is about the same size as the bus compartment. If it is forced to squeeze in, it will not be a problem to squeeze in at 300 people. However, now there are less than 150 people inside, and the place is still very loose. Everyone squeezes it and it will be fine if they all lie down.

The truck finally started slowly, and the chatting sounds of everyone getting smaller and smaller. After the excitement of the first arrival passed, many people chose to lie down and sleep. After all, they had been in the car for more than ten days, and there was no place to lie on the bus. They all lie down on their tummy or back. It was fake to say they were not tired. Soon, a large area of ​​the carriage lay down, and the snoring was louder than the friction between the wheels and the rails.

Zhang Yiwan was also very tired. Soon he lay back like everyone else, squeezed into the crowd, and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Yiwan was shouted in a daze, saying that he had arrived at the place.

He was not very hungry yet, and it should be less than half a day. He stretched, cheered up, and got out of the car after everyone.

The sky was just a little dark, and it seemed that it was not until Xu's hour. This was a station without even a wall or a station gate. After getting off the bus, everyone was quickly gathered together. Apart from the recruiting Tunwei, there were about 600 people.

They followed the guards and soon came to a row of huge brick and tile buildings. In the distance, layers of terraces were vaguely seen, and a huge swelling dragon was parked on it. It seemed that it was arable land. In the dark sky, no one noticed that the ground was covered with black coal.

Zhang Yiwan originally thought that these tall brick and tiled buildings were the residences of the Tun Guards, but he never thought that these Tun Guards would bring them in directly, including five people, a large shop, a wardrobe, a table, and a bench, and even a thatched cottage!

If it was surprising that the five people lived in a huge room, they were even more shocked, and the next dinner was even more shocked. A basin of white flour buns, a basin of stewed meat, and a plate of vegetables were delivered directly to each room. When did the vegetables become embellishments and the pork became the main dish?

That big pot of pork is probably less than ten pounds, and five people will eat it!

In this meal, everyone was full of pork, everyone was overeating, and then they slept. The hot kang was burning and covered with brand new quilts. This early winter night was actually as warm as a summer night!

Zhang Yiwan slept so sweetly that night. The pork could be eaten in large pieces. He felt that he had never eaten as much as he wanted in his life. It seemed that he had chosen to dig coal here. At least he had eaten and lived countless times better than at home.

The next morning, we finally started working. Everyone had a Tun Guard accompanying them, took them to get the dump truck and shovel, and headed straight to the terraces.

At this time, the earth-turning dragon was already rumbled forward. When everyone walked in, they realized that what kind of soil was on the ground, it was all coal!
Chapter completed!
