Chapter 1: Strange Old Man
"Alas......" Chen Ze sighed, and walked out of the office door of the Nova Kindergarten with a helpless face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's really hard to find a job these days, and he no longer expects a professional match, a good salary, and whatever he likes to do. Because now he has even become a luxury to find a job, no, he was forced to apply for a job that should have been done by a girl, such as a kindergarten child caregiver.
Sadly, his ninety-ninth job search journey ended in failure.
Chen Ze looked at the Nova Kindergarten again, and then walked away, the earth will not stop turning for someone, and he must embark on a job search journey again in order to live.
There is also a company to interview in the afternoon, which will also be his hundredth job search trip, and although the chances are slim, he must give it a try. How to say that, only by believing in the existence of miracles, miracles can happen.
Now there is still some time before the afternoon interview, Chen Ze walked aimlessly on the street, ready to wait for the time to go to the interview. But at this time, the stomach barked uncontrollably. Only then did he remember that his last meal was the braised beef he ate yesterday morning, instant noodles.
People are iron rice and steel, and if you eat less than one meal, you will be hungry and panic, and it is important to solve the problem of your stomach first.
There are many stalls selling food on the street, what leave a hand to grill fish, Taiwanese boneless fragrant chicken fillet, auspicious wonton, and Kang Erjie string incense...... All of them are full of color, fragrance and flavor, and Chen Ze is dizzying, and his saliva is direct.
"Hey, young man, don't you eat? Authentic Sichuan Malatang, one person only costs 35 yuan for eight meat and six vegetarian dishes, and the rice is provided for free, come in and see what you want to eat? A small stall owner next to Chen Ze saw him looking left and right, as if he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Chen Ze turned his head when he heard this, and found a woman in her forties looking at him with a smile.
It's winter, and it's the best time for Malatang to do business, and there are already several groups of diners on this small stall, all sitting around the small table eating hot pot, drinking wine and chatting.
A small iron pot is set on a small stove on the table, and the fiery red soup base is constantly tumbling with fish balls, meat slices, sausages, mushrooms, vegetables and other ingredients, exuding an attractive aroma.
"The spicy tang in my hometown, even the gods can't resist its temptation, right?" Chen Ze said with a smile.
Chen Ze didn't know that his unintentional joke would not take long to become a reality, and he was really right by him, and the gods couldn't resist the temptation of Malatang.
"Yo, it's a little fellow! Isn't that right? Even the gods don't have any resistance to our Malatang, come in and sit up, since you're a fellow countryman, then I'll charge you thirty. When the proprietress heard Chen Ze's words, she felt that she was still a fellow, and she was very happy in her heart, so she hurriedly spoke.
Chen Ze couldn't remember the last time he ate meat, and he couldn't resist the temptation of food, so today he decided to go out, break the precept and open meat, and treat himself.
If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to find a job?
So he took out the last fifty yuan in his pocket and said to the proprietress "Okay! Get me a dish of eight meat and six vegetables. ”
"If you want it, you want it, sit down inside, and it's okay right away?" The proprietress quickly found Chen Ze and gave Chen Ze twenty yuan and beckoned Chen Ze to sit inside.
It didn't take long for Chen Ze's spicy tang to be served.
Looking at the meat slices and meatballs that kept tumbling in the soup base, Chen Ze's appetite was great, and before the proprietress could bring the rice, he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of pork belly into his mouth.
The long-lost taste of his hometown instantly filled his mouth, and Chen Ze felt as if every cell in his body had been awakened, and for a while, he actually had an urge to cry.
"Rush rush to the beach, gogo, gogo, go, go, go, go,
I want summer to be in my ears
Rush rush rush to the seaGoGoGoGoGo to your side
Don't say goodbye, I'm already starting to miss ......"
At this moment, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and when I took it out, I saw that it was actually my mother calling.
Chen Ze hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth into his stomach, got up and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ze put away his mobile phone and prepared to go back to his place to eat, but unexpectedly found that an uninvited guest had come to his place.
When Chen Ze saw it, he was angry, and walked over angrily, ready to find this person to theorize.
When he walked in, he found that this was an old man with white hair and a very kind expression, and there were some marks on his forehead Chen Ze couldn't see it very clearly, and he didn't know what it was drawing.
Chen Ze looked at it, and felt that this old man felt a little weird, the weather was very cold now, but he was only wearing a robe, his white hair was tied up by a few pieces of jade, and his white beard was almost a foot long, which really made people feel a little fairy.
Somehow, after seeing this old man, the anger in Chen Ze's heart inexplicably disappeared by half, and it seemed that getting close to this old man had some calming effect.
Chen Ze asked softly, "That...... Old man, this seems to be my Malatang, are you mistaken? ”
When the old man heard this, he first stuffed a beef ball into his mouth, looked up at Chen Ze, and then said vaguely: "Oh, it turns out that this thing is called Malatang, it's good, it's delicious, it's delicious!" It's delicious! ”
After speaking, he buried his head again, stuffed a fish ball into his mouth and continued to eat, not noticing that what he answered was not the point of Chen Ze's question.
Chen Ze looked at the old man's behavior, and the anger that had been calmed down rose again.
Although you are an old man, you can't rely on the old to sell the old! This is the first time I have opened meat in half a year! This is the last spicy tang I bought for dozens of dollars! This is a little taste of hometown that he can taste when he is far away!
It's only been less than ten minutes, and this stinky old man has almost finished eating without a sound! What do you call it? Isn't this a clear bully?
Looking at the less and less spicy tang in the pot, Chen Ze wanted to cry.
Chen Ze has a good temper, but it does not mean that he has no temper, and the resentment that has accumulated from not being able to find a job for half a year has now been ignited. At this time, he was angry, respecting the old and loving the young or something, and now he had to scold the old man to get angry.
Just as he was about to speak, the old man suddenly stood up, looked at Chen Ze with wide eyes, and said, "You were talking to me just now?" Can you see me? ”
"Look...... See...... You can see it, what's wrong? Chen Ze didn't expect this old man to have such a reaction, looking at the strange old man who almost put his face on his nose, he asked with a little stammering.
