Chapter 4 Limited Noodles
Chapter 4 Limited Noodles
Jiangcheng has always been an important town of the country, the historical precipitation is very deep, the collection of the past dynasties can be found here, and the treasurers and collectors come here in an endless stream, so it has also formed a unique collection of antiques.
The antique street is the most complete collection in Jiangcheng, the place where all kinds of Tibetan friends and Taograbs are most concentrated, of course, it can also attract those tourists who come to Jiangcheng to travel, in addition to the antique shops on both sides of the street, the periphery has also formed a unique stall. A few newspapers, an old cloth spread on the ground, put some old objects on the ground, and start a business.
Although it is also a market management fee, there is also a difference in the location of the stalls, and the early ones occupy a good position, and there are always a few businesses that come to the door a day, so there are stall owners who occupy the position before dawn to put out their belongings.
For Xu Qing, he was just passing by, and he didn't have the slightest interest in those old objects that were put on display, not to mention that he only had ten yuan in his pocket.
"This little brother, help the old woman buy books!" A mother-in-law with gray temples whispered old books on the stall, but she didn't expect that as soon as the words came out, the stall owners next to her burst into laughter.
"Mrs. Hua, you don't look at the dewy look on this little brother's face, maybe he ran out of trouble with the family, and he still has a hairy mind to read......" said a stall owner wearing a copper coin outfit and a melon skin hat, dressed like a landlord and old wealth.
"Look at his outfit, I'm afraid I can't even take out a red one on his body."
Xu Qing walked in a hurry, wearing a vest and shorts, and he fell in the park just now, and he was covered with a lot of grass clippings and mud, and he really didn't look like a rich man.
The old woman smiled indifferently and said, "The cheapest of this book is only five yuan a piece, and it is not an expensive thing, and it is a good sign that it can be opened early in the morning." ”
"I think the flower lady wants to open and wants to get dizzy, just your few quotations and the book of the Republic of China can be worth five yuan a piece?" Someone ridiculed on the side.
Hua Pozi came to occupy a place every morning, but the business was very light, and she didn't open for the past two days, so she took the initiative to shout, just hoping to open and make a good omen.
When he picked up the broken atlas with the book cover off, his right eyelid suddenly jumped, and a thin square piece of paper appeared in his pupils, with an elephant printed on it, and the words Daqing, post office, and five cents of silver were written.
"Stamps?" Xu Qing's heart jumped, and he flipped through a few pages, only to find that the stamp with the elephant was turned together with the page, as if it was glued to the page.
Tried to pick out the page with his fingers, the stamp didn't move, the page had a mezzanine, a thought flashed in an instant, Xu Qing was shocked, and quickly closed his eyes, when he opened his eyes again, the page returned to its original state, as if it was an illusion for a moment.
"Little brother, this book has been around for a few years, if you like to take it for ten yuan, it will be considered to be open for the old woman......" Seeing Xu Qing's interest, the flower woman couldn't help but start whispering again.
"Eight dollars? I still have two dollars left to take the bus. Xu Qing put down the atlas, patted the grass clippings on his pants and stood up.
Hua Pozi groaned slightly, picked up the atlas and stuffed it into Xu Qing's hand and said, "Okay, take eight yuan and ......."
Can make a single business early in the morning, even if Xu Qing presses a few more yuan for this omen, she will accept it, this atlas has already been identified, it is not an ancient book, it is a very ordinary early print, and it is not worth a few dollars.
Xu Qing was also refreshed, took out the crumpled banknote from his pocket and handed it over, rolled up the atlas and inserted it into his pocket, took the change and turned to leave.
After wandering outside all night, Xu Qing has already made a decision, go home, no matter how his sister-in-law complains about him, he must insist on doing the work introduced by Sister Zhu, no matter how hard and tired he is, he will have to support himself.
Xu Qing didn't take the bus, but chose to walk, saving two yuan just enough to deal with a breakfast at the snack stall downstairs.
When I walked to the breakfast stall, I met an acquaintance, the beautiful landlady Zhu Xiaoling, at this time she was sucking the noodle soup with her head down, and her back was facing Xu Qing, but she could recognize it at a glance from her back.
"Boss, a bowl of two-piece noodle soup ......" Xu Qing called in a low voice, two-yuan soup noodles are already very rare in Jiangcheng, only this kind of remote snack stall has it, and it can be regarded as a small profit but quick turnover.
"Okay! A bowl of uncensored noodles. ”
This is a father-son stall, the father is in charge of the kitchen, and the son in his early twenties plays the role of a waiter.
"Boss, give me a bowl of thin-sized shredded pork noodles ......"
"Hmm! I want to have a yard, add more Muto Ran...... Wrong, it's the brisket......"
Hahaha......
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and an uncensored one actually brought Muto Orchid out, causing the diners to burst into laughter. Zhu Xiaoling also turned her head in surprise, and when she saw Xu Qing sitting behind her, her brows furrowed slightly, and she walked over directly with a noodle bowl and sat opposite him.
"Eat noodles?"
"Hmm!"
At this time, the boss's son brought the noodles over, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he smiled and said, "You use fresh noodles to eat noodles!" After speaking, he pointed to the old soy sauce in the corner of the table.
Zhu Xiaoling remembered an advertising slogan, the corners of her tight mouth suddenly raised a curved arc, glanced at the uncensored noodles in the bowl, and said with a smile: "Help him add some ribs." ”
"Okay!" The boy sang in response, and walked back with the bowl of noodles.
"No need......" Xu Qing pinched the two yuan in his pocket, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"What's not necessary, sister, please." Zhu Xiaoling seemed to see Xu Qing's difficulty, and said with a smile: "Where did you go last night, your sister-in-law didn't sleep all night, if you are embarrassed, I didn't say anything about yesterday......
"No, I have to do this job, but I'm going to bother you with one thing." Xu Qing bit her lip and said, "I will definitely do a good job, just don't tell my sister-in-law." ”
"Hmmm! Let's go back and have a good rest, and call you when I'm alive. Zhu Xiaoling nodded in response, got up and finished the account and left. Xu Qing looked at her Miaoman's back, and a trace of warmth rose in her heart. I wish the eldest sister is still good, but she has lost her temper and looks a little tougher.
