Chapter 60: The Sleepless Neighbor

Previous Chapter

Zhao Ergou clearly remembered that because he didn't recognize half a word, he almost suffered a prison sentence some time ago.

At that time, the officials at the front were doing business, and it might be to solve some case.

Because of the lack of manpower, a sign was erected at the intersection that said "No entry".

What can Zhao Ergou understand, looking at these two words, he looked confused, and finally walked over stupidly, almost ruined the affairs of the official, if he didn't look like a bad person, he would definitely be locked up in the yamen and spanked first.

He still remembers that he went out several times to run errands or visit relatives, and sometimes his thirsty eyes were dizzy on the road, but because he couldn't recognize the words "tea" and "wine", he didn't dare to enter the storefront he encountered on the road.

He didn't dare to go there until he confirmed that it was a tea shop, it was too humble.

Zhao Ergou decided that he must change himself from today onwards, not to mention being a cultural person, but he can't be as stupid as before.

Shopkeeper Chen is a good person, he seized this opportunity, and in the future, his children will also strive to make the other party literate, and he will be a cultural person in the future, which is much better than their bitter haha.

So he raised his hand tremblingly and asked Chen Xu: "Lord Chen, I don't know how to write words like tea and wine?" ”

Zhao Ergou's questioning aroused a consensus among the neighbors.

Identifying the store is also a text problem that they are desperate to solve, so if they know what each store sells, won't it be much more convenient in the future?

Chen Xu had already planned to leave, and suddenly smiled, he can go, these guys have to be locked up in the warehouse, and they have already told them before, they are not allowed to go home until they get rid of their illiteracy.

This is also to squeeze these people's time, for fear that these guys will forget everything after they run home, and they will also get out of the state of learning and waste time.

"Okay, I'll teach you a good lesson!"

Chen Xu has already asked people to light candles, these nights, candles, tea and other money are all counted as his, and the weather will not be cold at night, after all, it is a July day, and he doesn't need to do anything more when he returns to send some mats.

Chen Xu found a few new wooden boards and wrote "tea", which was not over, and then he drew a charcoal pen next to him.

It was a tea bowl, and everyone was so happy that they wouldn't forget it.

Then there was "wine", and he painted a barrel again.

"You see, is this character similar to a real horse?"

Chen Xu wrote down the word horse, and then drew another horse next to it, deliberately drawing according to the structure of the glyph, so that the left and right words and paintings really became surprisingly similar.

"I know, I know, it's a horse, it's really like!"

The people in the neighborhood laughed and were very excited, and they remembered this word at once.

"This is water, this is fire." On a whim, Chen Xu added more than 20 words to the extra wooden boards, all of which were equipped with paintings, enough for these guys to gnaw all night.

After finally getting out, Chen Xu went back to the restaurant, and then he found two guards to guard the warehouse.

The warehouse is very large, and there must be other ways to get out, and it is unrealistic to use two guards to guard it.

But this is not the case with the guards, in fact, many people may only have the slightest idea of leaving at night, and if the warehouse is not watching, they may actually leave and go back to sleep.

But if someone is watching, you can discourage them from thinking about it.

Not long after, the warehouse came again, and I saw Zhang Gen coming in in a carriage and beckoning everyone to come and pick up things.

"Neighbors, this is the supper that our shopkeeper gave you, a small plate of bean sprouts for one person, the best seasoning used, and this is a tea bucket, which is tea, you can drink it at night when you are thirsty."

Zhang Gen shouted, and suddenly everyone cheered, running to take it, everyone's eyes widened, and they happily took a small dish of their own.

It is certainly impossible to fill the belly at such a point, but it can give them a feast and satisfy their spiritual needs.

Zhang Gen took down a roll of cold mats, and someone asked at this time: "Brother Zhang, didn't the shopkeeper Chen say that each person has 20 yuan per day, what kind of subsidy?" ”

Everyone was a little embarrassed, after all, they learned other people's knowledge in vain, and took other people's benefits in vain, and as a result, they had to ask others for money.

"I'll come early tomorrow morning and hand you out the coins, so don't sneak away in the evening." Zhang Gen said.

"Don't worry, whoever dares to run will never come back!"

"That's it, whoever runs away has no conscience, Shopkeeper Chen treats us like this, can't even stand it for one night, this kind of person can't get used to the hardships of life, he is a loser."

People shouted one after another, with a tone and eyes that anyone who dared to run would be a traitor.

There are too many bean sprouts, but even after this thing is fried and cooked, there is a gap in the middle, loosely stacked on the plate, and a dish does not use much at all.

At tonight's night market, everyone who patronized tasted a lot of bean sprouts, the fresh and crisp feeling, coupled with the exclusive seasoning here from Chen's shopkeeper, they couldn't wait to swallow their tongues.

The scale of the night market is getting more and more popular, there are not even enough tables and chairs before, and the news that you are not allowed to eat in the restaurant if you are not literate has also spread, and many people are stupid.

looked at the delicious food on the table, and then took advantage of the light to look at the paper posted at the door of the restaurant, and many people were directly depressed.

What does this mean that they won't have their share of this delicious meal starting tomorrow? .

Pit daddy, shopkeeper Chen, is it too late to read now?

The news spread more and more, and before the curfew, the people in the entire Xinghuafang and the surrounding markets knew that Chen Xu's restaurant was a cow, and he didn't do the business of Da Baiding, who didn't know half a word.

If someone else dares to do this, they will definitely be scolded by the neighbors.

However, Chen Xu will not, not only does everyone not scold him, but also calls him Chen Dashan, Wenqu Xing.

Why, because people teach literacy for free, not only take care of food, but also pay money! When you learn to read, you can enter Chen Xu's restaurant again!

One night, many people directly gave insomnia.

There are excited, worried, ecstatic, and the sound of rustling and squirming is non-stop in all the families behind closed doors, and there is a small couple among them.

"His father, great, let's send Xiaoman to shopkeeper Chen tomorrow to teach, right? I've lived for more than 20 years and haven't encountered such a good thing, such a cheap don't take advantage of nothing, even if you can recognize a hundred words, that's a cultural person, our family is not a whole family can't read! ”

"Yes, Xiaoman will send it tomorrow, and you won't have to work tomorrow, you will also go to literacy, take care of food, and you still have twenty yuan a day, which is more than what you can earn by staying at home, and you can still learn things."

"Well, when I learn, I'll replace you, and strive for our whole family to learn a hundred words, and when we save money, let's choose a festival, and also patronize Chen's shopkeeper's business, and repay the favor!"

"So you have to learn quickly, don't make me wait."

As for those who can read, they are even more excited.,This is special.,Originally literate on the road pretending to be despised.,In addition to helping to read official documents, you can have a good opportunity to sigh.。

Now the shopkeeper Chen is in a hurry to give them a chance to pretend to be forced.

Doesn't that mean that the people who can enter the restaurant tomorrow are cultural people? When the time comes, he walks in with his chest up, and looks at him back and forth, isn't he glorious?
