Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. Lao Geng's positioning for himself is very low: he is a seller of rock sugar gourds!

Although he doesn't dare to say that he is the first in the world to make rock sugar gourds, he can also rank among the top few.

Since he was a child, he began to learn to make rock sugar gourds from his father, and he heard his father say that this craft is ancestral. He couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and he didn't bother to tell the difference. He learned the craft and used it as a means of earning a living. Since childhood, he has been shouting and selling rock sugar gourds all over the street to share the burden for his family.

So far, selling rock sugar gourds has sold the three things he is most proud of: first, he deceived a good master with rock sugar gourds and learned real skills. Otherwise, he would never have achieved what he is proud of today.

Second, he deceived a good daughter-in-law with a rock sugar gourd. The daughter-in-law is virtuous and gentle, and takes care of her small life smoothly. But the good times didn't last long, but it was in response to the old saying that was very unfair: good people are not rewarded! The daughter-in-law was plundered by the red-clothed priest of the Holy See, and in order to keep her innocence, she died a clear will. And he, who has avenged for more than 30 years, if he hadn't encountered Nirvana, this time might have to be extended indefinitely!

Third, deceived a good master with a rock sugar gourd! He surrendered himself to be a servant, which seemed to outsiders to be a very undignified thing and a sign of lowliness. But he scoffed at it. The reason why he became Nirvana's servant was to repay Nirvana's kindness on the one hand, and on the other hand, he believed that Nirvana would have an incomparably brilliant future, and he wanted to be a witness.

He and Nirvana bonded with rock sugar gourds, otherwise with Nirvana's indifferent temperament at that time, he would not have helped. He clearly remembered that when Nirvana ate the first bite of the rock sugar gourd, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye

Seeing that it was almost noon, Nirvana smiled at Lao Geng: "You are more familiar than me here, find a place to drink two cups!" ”

Lao Geng nodded hurriedly, nodded while cleaning up the stall, and said with a smile: "There is really a good little shop here, the dishes are well done, the amount is sufficient, and it is cheap." When I don't have anything to do, I like to have a couple of drinks there."

Nirvana smiled: "Then you have to taste it, it can make Lao Geng praise like this, but this is the only one!" ”

Lao Geng smiled and said, "I will never let my master down!" ”

At this moment, a chubby little boy ran over panting, holding two one-yuan bills in his hand, and shouted, "I want sugar gourds"

As he spoke, he waved the banknotes in his hand.

Lao Geng smiled and took out two strings of rock sugar gourds and said, "Little fat dun, these two strings will be given to you." But don't rely on me if you have tooth decay."

After speaking, Lao Geng touched the little chubby head and left with Nirvana.

Little Fat Dun stood in place with two strings of rock sugar gourds, looking at the backs of Lao Geng and Nirvana, his little face was full of doubts, and after taking a bite of the rock sugar gourd, he muttered: "When did Old Man Geng be so good-tempered?" ”

Everyone on this street knows that the old man Geng, who sells rock sugar gourds, is a cold person who is not close to anyone, and he can't get close!

The two of them made their way through the crowd to a small but extremely clean shop. The name of the store has a strong classical flavor: Xiang Yaju!

Nirvana thought that with such an elegant store name, the owner should be a literati or ink artist with a bit of ink. But when he saw the honest and simple shopkeeper and his wife, he began to wonder who the name of the store came from.

Lao Geng seemed to see Nirvana's doubts, and said with a smile: "Master, are you wondering who the name of this store comes from?" ”

Nirvana nodded, the shopkeeper and his wife are not like cultural people, and they may not even know a few big characters. What's more, there is no need for such an elegant name in such a place.

Lao Geng sold Guan Zi and said with a smile: "I believe that the master will have a surprise!" ”

Then, Lao Geng smiled at the boss and said, "Boss Qiu, I want to treat you today, show off all your special skills."

Boss Qiu's family was the only one who could talk to Old Man Geng, perhaps because Old Man Geng often stayed in the store and was embarrassed to speak coldly to them.

Boss Qiu was a little silent, and when he heard Lao Geng's words, he smiled and said, "It just so happens that my daughter is at home, so let her make you a table."

Lao Geng was pleasantly surprised: "The autumn girl is here, so she has to do it." I've been waiting for it so long."

After a pause, Lao Geng smiled again: "That is, my old man is too old, and he doesn't look good." Otherwise, you have to think of the law to abduct your autumn girl."

Boss Qiu smiled and didn't speak. Their daughter has always been the pride of the couple!

And a young man who is also a frequent visitor here interjected and teased: "Old man Geng, it's not bad now, don't they all say that the older people are, the more flavorful they are?" An old wine like yours should be more fragrant! ”

Lao Geng shook his head and sighed: "If you are too old, you will be thrown into the dung pit!" ”

Then, Lao Geng said disdainfully to the young man: "Don't talk about me here, look at yourself first." I often come here to eat, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, but I haven't seen you take any action! If I were an autumn girl, I would never choose a man like you, indecisive, and I couldn't make a big deal! ”

After a pause, Lao Geng smiled again: "With the appearance and conduct of our autumn girl, not to mention finding a big man who has a fork to the sky, then at least you have to have good conduct, a talent, and a lot of money." Don't blame me for Old Man Geng's ugly words, you young people, there really isn't any one who can be worthy of the autumn girl. Break off that unrealistic thought as soon as possible! ”

Lao Geng said that it was a pride, just like talking about his own daughter. And in his heart, he also regarded the autumn girl in his mouth as his own child.

The young man blushed, but he couldn't refute it. You can only bury your head in food! Those young people with the same purpose also lowered their heads, and their hearts were exposed, and their faces were naturally gloomy! And they are also curious why the usually taciturn old man Geng is abnormal today. Glancing at the young man opposite Old Man Geng, some of the quick-witted people were thoughtful!

Nirvana, who is only a spectator, is extremely curious, Lao Geng is definitely not a warm-hearted person, and he will not praise anyone easily. Now he is full of praise for a woman, which is really a little strange. To say that Old Man Geng had strange thoughts about that woman would be too fake. Since Lao Geng's daughter-in-law Xiang Xiaoyu died more than 30 years ago, Lao Geng has closed his heart and no longer talks about his children's private affairs. Lao Geng is a stubborn infatuated species, hanging on a rope and not letting go until he dies! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been with the Holy See for thirty years!

Just then, a young woman wearing an apron entered the store from the backyard. For a time, it attracted the attention of everyone present and became the absolute focus.
