Body 063 Late-night noodle shop
Xu asked them to see Zhou Zhicheng as soon as they went out of the examination room, he was wandering outside, and as soon as he saw them, he greeted them, half puzzled and half worried: "Why did you do it so late, did there be any accident?"
Before the exam was over, he came to pick up someone. As a result, when I heard the sound of the end of the exam, some people came out one after another, but they never saw their home. He inquired about the guard at the door, who looked at him and impatiently told him to stand away, but no one answered. Zhou Zhicheng has been waiting for hours since then.
After hearing the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, you're hungry, let's go, go fill your stomach first." ”
He was not much older than them, almost the same age as Xu San and them, but he really looked like a brother when he stood up to greet them, sincere and concerned.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you don't know, Xu Wen is a cow!" Lu Cheng excitedly grabbed Zhou Zhicheng to show off, Zhou Zhicheng patted his head, "Say while walking, don't delay everyone's time!"
He walked out with a group of people, Xu Wen followed in the crowd, listening to Lu Cheng's eyebrows flying and dancing about today's exam and what happened after the exam, Zhou Zhicheng listened carefully, showing a surprised expression from time to time.
Speaking of which, before Lu Cheng, the only person in Yao's Wooden Workshop who was ready to participate in the apprenticeship test was Zhou Zhicheng. Even if Yao's Wooden Workshop is only level five, Zhou Zhicheng can be regarded as one out of a hundred talents with high hopes.
As a result, before his life began, he was directly destroyed by an accident.
But despite this, he still treated everyone around him gently, and when he heard Xu Wen shine in the apprenticeship test, he was only surprised and joyful, and there was no resentment at all.
Such people do not deserve to be treated like this. However, Qi Kun, who is suspected of causing all this......
Xu Wen was thinking deeply when he suddenly heard a voice: "You ......"
As soon as he looked up, he saw that they had just walked into an alley behind the county office, and Qi Kun was coming out of a corner and bumped into them head-on.
Zhou Zhicheng listened to Lu Cheng with a smile, and when he saw him, his smile suddenly disappeared, and his face sank. And Qi Kun's face also changed, and after the word "you", he slowly relaxed and said, "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time......"
"Let's go. Zhou Zhicheng said with a cold face, pulling them past Qi Kun, as if he didn't see this person.
When Lu Cheng saw Qi Kun, anger immediately appeared on his face. He wanted to take a step over there, but was caught by Zhou Zhicheng and didn't let him move. He whispered angrily: "Senior brother, what are you afraid of? There are so many of us, there is only one of them, and no one knows if you beat him!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Zhicheng lectured him in a low voice, and then said, "The list will be released in five days, don't make things happen casually." ”
The two of them were not loud, but the alley was too quiet at this time, and it was impossible for Qi Kun not to hear it.
However, he just kept his head down from beginning to end, did not speak, and did not show any superfluous expressions.
The people from Yao's wooden workshop passed by him, and Xu Wen glanced back at him, only to feel that his figure looked very small in the shadow of the eaves, and a little lonely.
The young man doesn't care, and he forgets everything very quickly.
Zhou Zhicheng took them to a small noodle shop behind the county office, took a string of money to the boss, and asked him to do it.
The boss yawned and took the string of money, pulled the half-open door a little wider, and let them in.
The summer night was cool, and the noodle restaurant was still hot, and more than 20 half-sized people sat in it, filling the small restaurant to the brim.
The boss stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and after a while the water in the pot boiled away, and he skillfully grabbed the noodles and threw them into the pot, teaching them a lesson while cooking the noodles.
"I should have closed the door a long time ago, and your senior brother had to let me keep the fire so that you could eat a bowl of hot noodle soup after the exam. He knocked the rim of the pot with a spoon and yawned again, "Otherwise, I will go to bed early, and tomorrow the rooster will get up for the morning market." ”
Zhou Zhicheng hurriedly stood up and thanked him, the boss waved his hand indifferently, drew a circle with a spoon, nodded and asked them, "Thank you for what thanks, they are the ones who should thank me! If it weren't for your senior brother's affection for you, I wouldn't have made this money!"
"Our senior brother is good to us, we already know it!" Lu Cheng replied to the boss lightly, turned his head and poured a bowl of water for Zhou Zhicheng first, "Senior brother, you are thirsty, you drink, you drink!"
Zhou Zhicheng stuffed the water back to him: "I have water to drink outside, but you, if you are thirsty after the test, drink some water first, and the noodles will be good for a while." ”
With a smile on his face, his eyes shining in the light of the candle flame, he turned his head to look at Xu Wen, and then asked Lu Cheng: "What happened later, you haven't finished talking just now." ”
Lu Cheng's eyebrows fluttered again, picked up a chopstick, and said colorfully: "Later, the examiners came back again, took straw paper and pasted it on the bucket, wow, the paper will be wet immediately......
Zhou Zhicheng listened attentively, the more he listened, the happier he became, and finally slapped the table and said, "Let's go back to sleep, and come back tomorrow morning after sleeping to see if Xu Wen's bucket is still there!"
Everyone nodded together, all saying, "Okay, okay, come and see tomorrow!"
"Aren't you going to go to the street and bring some more things to the house? Don't delay the time......" Xu Wen was originally quite calm, but he was a little embarrassed to be praised by a group of people continuously.
"No hassle, no hassle, no matter whether I can pass the apprenticeship test or not, I can tell my children and grandchildren when I am old. I want you to participate in the apprenticeship test back then, and the little junior brother of the same sect scared everyone!"
"Yes, hahaha, we have a fifth-level wooden workshop, and this result alone is even better than other third-level wooden workshops, and the bull is angry!"
"And I don't have much to buy, and it's all over in a while. ”
It's not that you don't have anything to buy, it's that you don't have the money to buy it.
The obedient are accustomed to speaking, and the people who speak are also unintentional, everyone is used to it, and no one minds.
A group of people continued to talk lively, talking and talking, and the topic shifted slightly.
Today, when we were waiting for the results, we discussed a little bit about the details of barrel making and even round techniques, but the time was not right, and they didn't discuss it.
At this time, everyone turned the topic here again, exchanged their experiences in today's exam, and chatted happily.
"Poofhahahaha. ”
Everyone was chatting happily when someone next to them suddenly burst into a series of laughter.
The owner of the noodle shop walked over and threw a bowl of noodles in front of Zhou Zhicheng, while still laughing.
The meaning of this laugh was obviously not quite right, and the discussion stopped abruptly, and Lu Cheng said a little unhappily: "Boss, what are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at you little dolls, you are not a few years old, you haven't learned much, and you are like a scholar, you can talk very energetically. The boss put on his face one by one, speaking bluntly, while continuing to be happy, "I heard it and heard you talking about barrels." Barrel, haha!"
"What's wrong with the barrel? You don't understand, it's difficult!" Lu Cheng was a little red from ridicule.
"What's so hard about a wooden barrel? The barrel doesn't leak, it's not a natural thing? It's just that you dolls who haven't been out of school make a fuss. ”
One pot of noodles is not enough for so many people to eat, the boss arranged the first few, turned back to make the second pot, and did not forget to mock Lu Cheng.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there is a big difference between a teacher and a teacher, and an apprentice who has not been a master can at most give a hand to the master, and there is no way to work independently.
It's just an apprenticeship test, and the little dolls who haven't been out of the teacher take the test, what is it worth?
This kind of exam is still blown like this, and the more the boss thinks about it, the more funny he feels.
But for these apprentices, it was really a little uncomfortable for something to be proud of to be ridiculed like this.
Their faces were flushed, but they didn't know how to justify themselves for this kind of thing that the world recognized, and Lu Cheng was still a child who had never seen the world after all, and he didn't know how to speak after opening his mouth a few times.
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the quiet noodle restaurant, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked in the middle.
Xu Wen stood next to him, there was a wooden bench next to him, I don't know what went wrong, and it fell apart completely.
He looked at the stool, then at the noodle shop owner, and said as if surprised: "It suddenly collapsed, and I almost got on my head!"
He still looked a little innocent, but those who knew him well sensed something was wrong, and then asked, "Why did it collapse?"
"Oh, if this is planted, not the ass will be pierced!"
The latter sentence was said by Lu Cheng, and after he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Xu San next to him.
The boss glanced over and said indifferently, "Things are easy to break when they are old, there is no way." It's okay, just change the stool for you. ”
As he spoke, he dragged a stool from the side and kicked it to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen caught it, as if to check whether it was strong, and patted it slightly. As a result, this stool also fell apart!
The boss froze, walked over with a frown, picked up a stool leg and looked left and right.
He was an old noodle shop at this time, and the tables and stools in the shop had been hovering on the edge of bad and bad for years. He has always been like just now, if it is broken, he will replace it for the customer, and if it is broken, he will find a carpenter master to repair it.
He muttered, "I'm going to invite a master again......" As he spoke, he threw the stool leg aside and moved another one for Xu Wen.
Strange to say, he only felt a little unstable when he moved, but as soon as he put it on the ground, the stool flashed again!
The boss was completely puzzled, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Wen smiling at him.
"Boss, look at these tables and stools in your store, let's fix them for you, right?"
"You guys haven't come out yet, what are you cultivating, let's stand and eat first, and I'll find someone tomorrow!" said the owner of the noodle shop a little depressed.
"Let's try it. If they can't be repaired, these tables and stools won't break anymore. Fixed...... How about you pay us at half price, no?"
Xu Wen looked at him directly, his eyes burning, as if he had already thought of an idea!
