MTL - My Wife is the Villain King Shark-Chapter 49
Jiang Chaosheng and Ji Xuanbing were eating watermelons that were refreshing and relieving the heat. In another corner of the city, there was also a strong aroma of rice.
At noon, the canteen of the slave gathering place will smell the aroma of food, and the slaves who have finished their work will line up in the canteen shirtless and dressed in men. The smell of food and sweat is mixed together, and the taste is very mysterious. But for rough guys who don't care about details, they are used to this kind of life.
There are not many kinds of meals in the slave cafeteria, but there are meat and vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes are mainly based on cheap seafood, followed by pork and chicken. Pork has a strong odor and is a cheap meat that nobles dislike, but chicken is different, very plump and tender. Ordinary meals have a uniform contribution point, and fried chicken thighs require extra contribution points, but because the quantity is small and the taste is good, they will be bought early every time.
The tall and thin young man ran in the front row of the fried food window, pointed to the freshly baked golden fried food and said loudly: "Please bring me three fried chicken racks, one spicy fried chicken thigh, don't cut the chicken thigh. ."
The other person in the team is a companion who works with him. He knows that this young man saves more on weekdays and can eat for free, so he will never spend an extra contribution point on extra appetite.
"Heidou, why are you so generous today?"
Heidou carefully packed the fragrant chicken legs in a box, and smiled at the other party: "Today is my sister's birthday."
The chicken frame is less meat, and the price is cheap. One contribution point can buy three, but the big chicken leg needs two contribution points. Black beans are sixteen years old this year, and after deducting the food and clothing on weekdays, there are only six contribution points left. Where? He was willing to eat all chicken legs, if it wasn't for his sister's birthday, he would not even buy a fried chicken rack. The cheap fish and shrimp in the usual meals are enough for him, and some chicken skin residue and lard after draining the fat are rare and delicious.
Heidou took the lunch box back to the small house where the family temporarily lived, and put the fragrant lunch box on the wooden table: "Happy birthday to Hongdou."
The little girl named Hongdou opened the closed box and saw the steaming fried food inside, she exclaimed in surprise: "It's fried chicken, it's delicious!"
Heidou gave the big chicken drumstick to his sister: "you eat chicken drumsticks, just a few of us can eat chicken racks."
The little red bean took a bite, and the fried food was still very crispy. After taking a bite, plenty of fresh juice flowed out. The chicken was fragrant and tender, and the little red bean squinted his eyes: "Brother, the fried chicken legs are delicious!"
Heidou's distress was dimmed by his sister's smile, and he said generously: "If you like it, eat more, and next year my brother will buy it for you."
Red Bean handed over the chicken thigh: "Brother, you can eat it too."
The mother of the two brothers and sisters also laughed, and the smile lines on their faces disappeared a lot: "Next time your brother's birthday will also buy chicken legs. Usually, save a little bit, save the contribution first, and let your brother get out of slavery sooner. identity of."
After the completion of Qiongzhou New City, the houses for slaves' residences were also expanded a lot, and the original rules were also changed a lot with the construction of the city. The original Datongpu, where dozens of people lived, was separated by wooden walls, and divided into small houses about two meters long, five meters wide, and ten square meters, with one door and one window. There was only a narrow wooden bed, a set of simple wooden tables and chairs, and a simple cabinet.
Slaves who have worked as carpenters know that these are tables and chairs they have made with their own hands. The house does not have a title deed, it is the property of the city owner. Datongpu is free, but such a small house of about ten square meters can be rented with contribution points. One room needs to consume 100 contribution points a month. There are four black beans in a family, each of whom works every day, and there are five One hundred and forty contribution points are enough to support their family living in a chalet with privacy.
In their cabins, except for the original tables and chairs, and the personal items used in the cabins, all of them were purchased with contribution points. It's just that many ordinary items can only be bought by one person. According to what the person in charge of them said, low-priced goods are the gift of the master, not for the slaves to do business.
Because in addition to the rented house, the personal items exchanged for the contribution degree can be taken away after they are redeemed. At the beginning of registering family relations, each slave can only use the contribution points on his own personal account. But a month after the city owner got married, new rules were announced on the bulletin board.
Slaves who have become households can open household accounts of their own free will. It also meant that slaves could pull together the whole family to get one family member out of slave status first. Slaves do not have personal property rights, and they cannot marry and have children without the consent of their masters. Therefore, as soon as the news is announced, there is no such thing as strong and arrogant male slaves privately persecuting female slaves. As soon as this rule came out, it meant that the black beans had a family of four, and the whole family provided one by one, and the time to get out of slaves was shortened by three and a half times.
A prime-aged slave needs 100,000 contribution points to redeem himself, while a person under the age of 16 and an elderly person over 60 need only 50,000 contribution points. In less than eight years, Hongdou can be freed, and it will take another three years to live in the house.
But this is only the most basic contribution points. There are additional rewards for calculating slaves who work hard. Black beans work fast and well. Obviously, he is only less than eleven years old, but because of his strength, he can be an ordinary adult slave. In the work he does, half the eldest child has the same contribution as an ordinary person, and his mother is even more powerful. She is very talented in textiles. She can get 20 contribution points every day, deducting food and clothing and more. sixteen.
Heidou painted one stroke at a time, using a stupid method to calculate, as long as they work together and work hard, they can redeem themselves in about five years, just before he turns sixteen. Xiao Hongdou is too small, and she is a girl. Even if she is free, it is easy to suffer when she is alone.
The four of them huddled together in one room, replaced the things they usually use, and saved all the remaining contribution points. They hoped that in three or five years, as long as the city owner did not change his mind, they would be able to realize their dreams.
The family happily finished the meal, rested for a while in the cabin, and resumed working. The slaves who worked with the black beans disliked him and couldn't help splashing cold water: "This rule will change once a while. , maybe the redemption points will rise in a few years, it might be better to use it on yourself."
For some bachelors who don’t want to go that far, the redemption will take decades, and it takes a lot of effort to be alone. It seems that there is nothing wrong with being a slave of the city master. Although they have to work, they can eat and drink enough every day. The Contribution Points saved can also be used to fight tooth festivals, and almost enough Contribution Points are enough for their own use.
"The city owner and the city owner's wife are so good, they don't know how to talk!"
After only saying such a sentence, Heidou ignored this sarcastic guy, and just thought that the other party was jealous of him. Where they work, there are supervisors, not the supervisors who can beat people with whips. Everyone's work is fixed. If they don't do enough, they will deduct contribution points. If they do well, they will have appropriate rewards. This kind of guy who is trying to be lazy, is reluctant to feed himself. If he can't eat enough every day, he won't have the energy to work, so he can only starve himself to death.
Heidou does his own work. Although the rules are changing, it only increases the scope of contribution points and adds a family account, but the points exchanged have never changed. Heidou goes out to work every day and has to watch it. The high-hanging redemption sign encouraged himself, feeling that every day was full of hope.
He knew that Qiongzhou City was a big place, and many people moved in from outside. The villagers even got their own fields and houses according to the head, but after the household registration exceeded 5,000, the people behind had to save by themselves. money to buy land.
Heidou wants to be free, but also wants a house and fields. He wants the future. When will the opportunity that the city lord said come? Heidou took the task and got the kitchen knife given to them. He raised the knife and dropped it. He was very skilled in killing fish and scraping scales.
The little boy didn't delay things at all, but he was thinking about the small wooden sign hanging high in his heart, and really wanted to get free as soon as possible. It's just that Heidou didn't expect that God heard his wish, and the opportunity came sooner than he thought, so he made a contribution once, allowing him to accumulate enough contribution points and become the first slave to have a free body in Qiongzhou.
