On this day, I received a text message from Zhang Chunzhi: "Brother Tian, tomorrow my second uncle will come to Shijiazhuang to do business, can you come and talk to him in person?" ”

"Where is your hotel?" I replied.

Zhang Chunzhi replied: "No, in Shijiazhuang, a donkey meat noodle restaurant." "It's not impossible for me to go, but I'm in Shenyang, so far away, I still have to delay time. Usually I have to charge the fare for the carriage and horses, plus the round-trip fare, even if I take the train, it will cost 600 to say the least.

"Six hundred for a day?" Zhang Chunzhi replied.

I couldn't laugh or cry, and replied to her: "For you, it's just a day, because you don't have to move the place, but for me it takes more than ten hours to take the train, and your hotel delivers takeaway to guests, and you have to charge two yuan for a few hundred meters. I said okay, then let you and your second uncle take the train to Shenyang to meet me, and you don't have to give me a penny.

Zhang Chunzhi replied: "How can I go, the hotel is busy all day long." "I replied that's it, if you don't have time, you have to run errands for me, then it's normal for me to charge the fare. Zhang Chunzhi didn't reply again, I thought to myself that these migrant workers who don't study much just can't do it, and they don't even understand the most basic interpersonal communication, so they ignore it.

After dinner, I was lying in bed, thinking about whether to send a text message to Luo Li and ask her to come out for dinner and talk. But it didn't seem right not to invite her husband, what if someone gossiped about it. At this time, Zhang Chunzhi's text message came again, saying that she asked for the train fare, and it would cost about 250 yuan to go back and forth from Shenyang to Shijiazhuang, and add another 50 to give me 300. I wasn't even in the mood to reply, so I just threw my phone on the table and got up to check the Internet for replies to the forum.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chunzhi sent again: "Brother Tian, can you see if you can come for 400 yuan? My monthly salary is 800 yuan, and I have to send 600 yuan home, and the remaining 200 yuan is barely enough to live." "Seeing this, I thought to myself that it was true or fake, such a low salary is possible, because I now have many classmates, and the monthly salary of working in Shenyang is more than 1,000 yuan, and the waiter in a donkey meat restaurant in Shijiazhuang cannot be too high. As for sending 600 home, I think it's also possible, after all, it's a girl, and many families are used to treating girls who work outside the home as ATM machines, as if they raise their daughters to send money home to go out to work.

So, my sympathy flooded and I replied, "Yes, for the sake of your tight face, but you have to send it to me first." ”

Zhang Chunzhi asked: "Then you won't take the money and disappear, right?" I replied with a smile that I am not a liar, your colleague's boyfriend's uncle is my old customer, you can ask him, I also have a good reputation in Thailand.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, I received Zhang Chunzhi from the bank to give me 400 yuan in the card, looking at this little money, I regret a little, there is not a quarter of the profit from selling a yin card, but I have to take the train to Shijiazhuang, it is really not cost-effective. But the money had already been received, and I thought of those people in her village who had a strange disease, and if there was a real business opportunity, the fee would not be less than sixty or seventy thousand. Kaohsiung's words echoed in my ears again: "Don't get along with money." So, I went to the nearby sales office to buy tickets for tomorrow morning, and left early the next day to take the train to Shijiazhuang. Fortunately, Zhang Chunzhi's place of work is in the city rather than the county, so you don't need to transfer the car, and you can find the restaurant of "Zhang Fat Donkey Meat Roasted Noodle Restaurant" according to the address. It was lunchtime, and the business in the store was really good, almost full.

As soon as I sat down, a young girl came up and pointed to the recipe pressed under the glass pane of the table with a blank face, as if she had been busy with this kind of work every day, and she was numb. I asked who Zhang Chunzhi was, and she turned around and walked over to the other girl who was settling the bill for the customer, said a word, and walked away from me. The girl was short but not thin, ordinary-looking, and completely devoid of any features. After Zhang Chunzhi settled the account for the table, she came over and said that I was waiting outside, and now she was too busy to go out, otherwise she would be fined.

"Then bring me a bowl of donkey meat noodles, four taels of donkey meat in sauce and a bottle of light and refreshing. "The smell of donkey meat and broth in the shop makes my stomach growl, and I have to eat anyway, where to eat it. Zhang Chunzhi nodded, opened the list, and at this time, a woman in her forties came over and asked Zhang Chunzhi if she knew this person, did she come to you.

Zhang Chunzhi replied: "Ah, it's looking for me." ”

The woman said, "Didn't you tell you that you could only see your friends at three o'clock in the afternoon, why can't you remember?" And let him sit down, how busy the store is now, where will the guests sit after a while? Do you have to force me to deduct your money?" Zhang Chunzhi said that I didn't know that he had come in, so I didn't call me in advance, or let him wait outside. What else does the woman have to say, I can see at a glance that she is the proprietress of the propriety, and she is also the kind of person who is not very emotional, so she said that I came to find Zhang Chunzhi, but now I am also a guest, and I have finished ordering, can I sit?

After listening to my words, the woman didn't say anything, turned around and walked back, and unintentionally looked at the list in Zhang Chunzhi's hand, and then sped up and returned to the cashier.

Soon the noodles, meat and wine were all served, and after eating, I thought to myself, I have to say that it makes sense that this noodle restaurant is doing a good business, whether it is donkey meat noodles or sauce donkey meat, it is very delicious. After I finished eating, there were only 30% of the diners left in the house, and the restaurant was like that, only the morning, noon and evening three hours were the peak hours. After settling the account, I said to Zhang Chunzhi that the donkey meat here is really good, and I want to go back to Shenyang tomorrow, I want to take a few catties back, I don't know if I can spoil it.

The proprietress was like a tailwind, laughing loudly at the cash register and said to me: "Definitely not, what season is this, I'll fill you with an ice pack, don't say Shenyang, you're fine in Hainan! I took out 100 yuan and handed it over, probably because I was more generous, but the proprietress actually asked me to sit in the store and talk to Zhang Chunzhi, which surprised me.

Zhang Chunzhi was even more surprised: "Let's let him wait outside." "The proprietress said no, you talk. Zhang Chunzhi finally asked me to wait outside, I understood what she meant, many people in the village suffered from evil diseases, this is not a glorious thing, I have to carry a little outsider. Zhang Chunzhi told me that her second uncle worked for a construction company diagonally across the street, and that I could go there and meet him directly.
