Li Dachunwei's "brave acts of justice" stopped after punching "Huang Shiren" twice, because the male actress who played "Xier" was stunned for a few seconds, and then she rushed forward with her claws to help "Huang Shiren" to relieve the siege, and she immediately couldn't do it.

"Xi'er, I'm here to help Neng! Why aren't Neng scratching me?"

While he was rushing to dodge, he defended himself. At this time, the troupe also rushed out of the backstage. Everyone worked together and pressed Li Dachun on the stage in a few seconds.

"Second cousin, isn't it okay?" The male actress who played "Xi'er" leaned over and helped "Huang Shiren" up, asked with concern, and pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe blood.

"My teeth fell off."

The male actress who played Xier didn't hear it clearly, then leaned her head and asked again: "What did Neng say?"

"My front teeth fell off!"

"Oh!" Xier hurriedly shouted to the people on the stage: "Oh~~ Yang Ertang's teeth fell off, so they all helped find them!"

This was a temporary stage and there was no curtain. So seven or eight people on the stage started to look for the front teeth, and the people below watched...

"Hey! I'm looking for it!" Suddenly, a guy squatting on the stage with a cat waist screamed, and reached out to pick something out of the crack of the wooden board. Everyone came up and saw that it was really a big front teeth with bloodstained on it.

Puchi!

Suddenly, a woman in the third row of people in the audience could no longer help, and she covered her mouth and giggled. Then the men, women, young and old in the audience burst into laughter. After many years, she had never seen such an interesting thing.

"Huang Shiren" was angry and hatred. He covered his nose with a handkerchief, half tilted his head, glanced at Li Dachun's position, raised his foot and kicked him hard, then cursed with a leaky front teeth: "I'm a young maid! This is a performance, not real. I beat me like this, how can I explain it to my wife when I get home!"

Li Dachun had already woken up from his previous impulse. The kick "Huang Shiren" happened to hit his rib fork and almost couldn't breathe. He thought to himself that he had another kick, and I recognized it.

The backstage troupe's headmaster was so angry that he was furious that a good show was mixed up. The people around him didn't dare to speak. The young man who played Zhao Dachun hesitated and said, "Class master, can we still sing?"

"Sing!" The headmaster thought that if he didn't act because of this, he wouldn't act. Not to mention the affairs of the North Navy's men, the troupe's signature would be smashed. Fortunately, there were no scenes of "Huang Shiren" in the subsequent three scenes, and there were not many lyrics in the eighth scene. He could deal with it by temporarily catching a personal substitute.

After experiencing a chaotic farce, the "White-Haired Girl" was not finished until dark. Because the performance in the countryside was arranged by the Wendeng Military Control Commission, it was allocated specifically, so the troupe did not have to ask for money from the audience.

The villagers laughed and jokingly, but the troupe could not return to Ninghaizhou County today. The headmaster found the security chief and discussed it. Everyone would set up a shop on the stage for a night tonight.

A few pieces of earthen bricks built a stove, lit a fire, and built a large aluminum pot. Then, two buckets of water were poured from the well in the village. When the water boiled, the noodles were mixed and cut into noodles as thick as chopsticks.

As the white air rose, the noodles were put into the pot. On another earthen stove, a large pot of seafood mixed with dried shrimps, razor clams, canned meat and cabbage leaves had been boiled. The frozen white fat and meat pieces were put into the pot, making the air around the stage quickly float the scent of animal fat, making everyone who smelled it salivate.

Several young and half-old men and leisure men were attracted by the fragrance, and stood in the shadows more than twenty steps away and looked enviously, drooling and flowing down the corners of their mouths without any competing.

"I won't go home, let's put it in a pinch? Let's go! Let's go home, and they all look embarrassed."

The headmaster, who was invited by the headmaster to have dinner, came, carrying a bag in his hand, and a big black man followed behind him. It was Li Dachun who went on stage to beat someone in the afternoon.

At this moment, Li Dachun put his hands in his sleeves, bowed his waist, and his eyes soon fell on the big pot full of braised rice. After a while, his nostrils suffocated, his throat kept shaking, and he swallowed his saliva.

"I'll stay honestly. When someone comes out later, as Mr. Liu teaches me, I'll make a good compensation to others."

"Don't worry, uncle."

"Oh~~ It's such a fucking treasure!"

The custodian left, and Li Dachun stood alone in the open space. When the noodles in the big pot were cooked, the scoop first asked someone to bring two bowls to the headmaster and the head of the auspicious person, and then greeted the others. More than 20 members of the troupe gathered with bowls and hula. They first served half a bowl of noodles, then put a spoonful of braised rice from another pot, then found a shelter to sit down, and ate it with satisfaction.

Whenever someone walked past with a bowl full of noodles, Li Dachun unconsciously stretched his neck and looked at him. Unfortunately, the people in the troupe ignored him, especially the male actress who played "Xi'er", who "hummed" when she passed by him.

"Mom, these guys are eating really well."

Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Ertang, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, turned out from behind the stage with a big bowl. Li Dachun hurriedly got up to meet him.

Although it was dark at this time, the campfire used to keep warm in the open space was burning, and a bright horse lantern was hanging beside the stage. Yang Ertang saw a black shadow approaching from the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his head and found that he was beating his guy in the afternoon. His face immediately drooped, raised his hand and pointed at the other party and said, "What are you doing? Don't come here!"

His injury is not serious, but his front teeth are a bit ugly and his words are leaking. However, there is a tooth filling shop in Ninghaizhou County, and even if he can't find the teeth, he can still put one again.

The filling technology of ancient China has been in existence since the Tang Dynasty. "New Materia Medica" records that it is synthesized with white tin, silver thin and mercury, which can be regarded as the earliest silver-amalgamated tooth filling technology. The place where teeth filling in the market during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was called "Tooth filling shop", and tooth filling is no problem.

Li Dachun waved his hand quickly and defended him: "Brother Yang, I came with Wang Jiachang, I want to apologize to you. Then Mr. Liu and Wang Jiachang pouted me, and I knew I was wrong. I was just a fool, sorry!" After that, he pulled his hand out of his sleeve and bowed to the other party.

Seeing this, Yang Ertang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly: "Forget it, if Neng watches the show again in the future, Kemu will do this."

"Hey!" Although Li Dachun agreed, he didn't move his nest under his feet and glanced at him more than ten steps away.

Although Yang Ertang was so angry that he kicked Li Dachun in the afternoon, he was so anxious that he was beaten. In fact, he was not bad. So he hesitated and said, "Have you eaten the night dinner?"

Jiaodong people call eating "dai", but in fact it is "eating".

Li Dachun said embarrassedly when he heard this, "Mu, no. I will eat one person, so my whole family will not be hungry."

Yang Ertang thought about it, then turned around and touched it. Seeing that the male female actor who played "Xi'er" was squatting in front of the basin and washing the dishes slowly, he shouted: "Cuicui, have you eaten it tenderly?"

"Hmm. What's wrong?"

"I borrowed the bowl of tender, but I won't take it off (after a while) and I'll clean it for you."

As mentioned before, female actors were forbidden in the Qing Dynasty, so no matter what opera troupes, Qingyi, Huashan and other female actors were played by men. Some male actors even had to bind their feet when they were young. In this way, many male actors gave themselves a woman's name. The appearance of Kunling in the Qing Dynasty in history had to be found after the Eight-Nation Alliance, and they were not allowed to enter the backstage.

The person who plays "Xi'er" is also a person who is fake and is trained as a girl since he was a child, and his actions are no different from those of a girl's house. He is different from Wei Changsheng. The leader of the Wild Fox is a man who looks fake and real on the stage. After taking off his makeup, he will be a hooked nose and bumpy eyebrows. When he takes off his makeup, he will also dress up a girl and draw his eyebrows. If it weren't for the people in the troupe repeatedly explaining it before, Li Dachun would never believe that the other party was a man.

A large bowl of braised noodles was still not satisfied, but Li Dachun was still interested, but unfortunately there were only so many noodles. He greedily licked the remaining soup and oil on the wall of the bowl, and then he served the bowl of noodles and sucked it. A long-time worker like him had almost never eaten enough except for wheat harvest and New Year's Day. Although the Chinese New Year is coming, his family is barely covered. It is very good to eat a few sorghum noodles with New Year's Eve, so this noodles is definitely a surprise for him.

While picking up noodles, Yang Ertang looked at Li Dachun beside him. His heart suddenly moved, remembering that he had heard from the Ninghaizhou Military Control Commission that if anyone could introduce honest and decent villagers to join the army, each person would give him five silver dollars to introduce the fee. His eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "It's better to join the Northern Hair Army than to join the North Sea. People are recruiting people in the prefecture city."

"Join the army?" Li Dachun shook his head when he heard this. "Master Liu said that a good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not join the army. I used to go to the beach to pick up goods, but I have seen soldiers from the green camp. I heard that they were not full of money for their wages, and they were all hungry and their eyes were full of green light."

"Tsk~~" Yang Ertang said disdainfully: "Can the Green Camp compete with the Beihai soldiers? They can only run away in front of the Beihai soldiers! To be honest, when I was rehearsing the show, I was in the same pot as the Beihai soldiers. They ate well, and there were meat every day, and dried rice, white flour, and three meals a day were enough. Even the county magistrate could not compare to that day."

"You said jin?" Li Dachun's saliva came out again.

"It's true~~ Just say that this canned meat is like a treasure in our opera troupe, but the Beihai soldiers are tired of it."

Li Dachun smiled apologized and said, "Second brother is so joking, how can you get tired of eating meat."

"Nen knows how much money they get every month?" Yang Ertang handed the chopsticks in his right hand to his left hand, then stretched out his five fingers, flipped them twice in a row, and said, "This number!"

Li Dachun said: "Two hundred cents? That's not much. I can earn 60 cents a month when I work in a short-term job!"

"You are so tender! It's twenty white silver dollars, four taels of silver!"

"Puff~~" Li Dachun almost choked to death by a mouthful of noodle soup and spit out suddenly. He hurriedly lifted the bowl to the ground and counted on both hands.

"A month and four taels, wouldn't that be ten... twenty... ha! I have all the money to build a house and marry a wife!"

Li Dachun slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Brother Yang, why don't you cheat me?"

Yang Ertang rolled his eyes and said, "What are the benefits of being tender? Get a fist again?"

"Hehe, Brother Yang, I'm sorry for you, why are you still mentioning this?" Li Dachun scratched his head and said with a foolish smile: "Second brother, who do you think I'm going to look for? I've never entered the state city."

Yang Ertang said: "Let's do this, the opera troupe will return to Ninghaizhou City tomorrow morning. If Nen wants to go, come here to help pack up his things and push the cart in the morning. When I arrive in Zhoucheng, I will take Nen to the Military Control Commission to register."

"Second brother, I'm New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. Can this happen?"

"Why not? Tell me the truth, the men of the North Navy have no rules for sealing the New Year."

With this, Li Dachun came with a bag on his back as soon as dawn the next day, and more than one of him came, there were more than twenty. These people were pushing several wheelbarrows, and some of them were carrying sticks.

Yang Ertang was quite excited at first, thinking that these people were going to join the army. He thought that this fist was not in vain and could make a fortune. Unexpectedly, after asking Li Dachun, he found out that these villagers planned to travel with the opera troupe and go to the county town to get relief grain.

"Nen is only going to get food now? It's New Year's Eve tomorrow!"

After hearing Yang Ertang's words, the villagers didn't say anything, but helped the opera troupe load the things on the carriage so that they could get on the road quickly.

The arable land situation in Dengzhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty was very poor. People at that time described it as "Pyongyang without 50 miles", which belonged to the most severe food shortage in Shandong. In the harvest year, the grain was not enough to live, let alone encounter famines. During the Qianlong period, as the population grew, the demand for grain became more and more prominent. Every year, we had to go through sea trade to import hundreds of thousands of stones of grain from Fengtian. Once the grain ship could not arrive on time, there would be a shortage of rice and food prices immediately.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Basically, since the 52nd year of Qianlong, with the expansion of the scale of the Qing Dynasty's military use in the Northeast, most of the grain produced in Fengtian was sent to the Wula frontline in Jilin, so the grain in Dengzhou Prefecture could only be imported from Jiangnan. The problem is that the Jiangnan does not produce sorghum, only rice, and the people of Dengzhou are not used to eating it at all. In addition, rice is more expensive than sorghum, so it has become the norm for farmers to not have enough food in recent years.

After the Beihai Army occupied the four counties of Dengzhou, land and sea trade were cut off. Liu Yong intended to use this move to ask Beihai Town to quickly load people away, and then get out of here.

However, the Qing Dynasty's plan was obviously wrong, and Beihai Town was prepared for this. You should know that Longmen Port in the northern part of Ninghai Prefecture was one of the four most unfreezing ports in the world in later generations. From October 1793 to January 1794, with the full cooperation of the Navy, the Civil Affairs Department successively transported tens of thousands of tons of wheat from Beihai Town.

Because of Li Bi's proposal, Kong Shaoan decided to issue relief tickets to poor households in towns and rural areas through the "household review" method, and the people could use the tickets to collect grain from the county town. In order to prevent Li Bi's "need to seek and price", the military management of the four counties did not use clerks from the Qing Dynasty, but sent a working team to the countryside to conduct household reviews in accordance with the principle of "far from far first and then near".

The household review work in Chuiliu Village was completed as early as the end of November, but no one dared to move the villagers when they received the relief ticket. You should know that under the Qing Dynasty, it took a little money to get the relief ticket, and you had to spend a little money to get the grain, otherwise you would not get a grain of food. Although the work team did not ask for money when sending the relief ticket, and they also said that they did not have to pay for the food, but these ordinary people in the country dared not believe it. They suffered too much in this regard!

Who doesn’t know that since ancient times, the government has always been the same, and who wants to believe that he is a fool!

It took a long time to delay it. It was New Year's Eve tomorrow, and many families in Chuiliu Village had to run out of food. If they didn't go to get relief, they would not be able to live this year. So the villages gritted their teeth and collected half a stolen money, and then took care of the landlords in the village to borrow two stolen money, so they dared to set off. As for accompanying the opera troupe to Ninghaizhou, they were mainly worried about robbery.

The most familiar thing about the thieves in Shandong in the Ming and Qing dynasties was the "Ring Horse". The reason for this title is that these people would shoot a whistle-mounted arrow before launching a robbery. However, the sound horses in Shandong are generally concentrated in the busy merchants, Linqing, Jining, and Jiaodong areas, which are "old melon thieves" who commit crimes.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, those who were engaged in boxing and performing skills and running horses were collectively called "melon seeds". Compared with the loud horses that only rob money and do not kill people, old melon thieves were much more cruel. They not only rob goods, but also killed people. These guys were good at pretending to be beggars, and they were in remote and deserted villages.
