Volume 1: A Mess After the Crossing Chapter 68: A Place to Stay
There was a large coffin painted black and red in the coffin shop, and a young man of about twenty years old was dusting off the dust on the lid of the coffin with a feather duster.
Brother Ning broke into the coffin shop.
When the guy saw someone coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and nodded and asked, "Hello little brother, buy a coffin?"
Brother Ning glared at the guy fiercely and said: You just bought a coffin, and there are no dead people in my family to buy any coffins.
Hearing this, the guy said strangely: Little brother doesn't buy a coffin, what are you doing in our coffin shop?
Brother Ning said: I have something to do with your shopkeeper, where is your shopkeeper?
The man said: In the workshop behind our shopkeeper now, I'll take you there.
After that, the guy took Brother Ning to the back.
The guy and Brother Ning walked into the workshop, the so-called workshop is the place where the coffin is made, and at this time some workers are planing the wooden planks, punching holes, nailing wedges, and clanging.
The man asked Brother Ning to stand at the door and wait, he walked up to a man in his thirties who was planing the planks and said a few words, and then pointed to Brother Ning with his hand, the man nodded, put down the planer in his hand and walked over.
The man asked: Little brother, are you looking for me?
Brother Ning looked at the man and said: I came to find the shopkeeper here, if you are, I will find you.
The man nodded with a smile and said: Yes, I am the shopkeeper of this coffin shop, what are you looking for me?
Brother Ning said: I heard the shopkeeper of Fuyuan Restaurant say that you have to work here, and I am here to apply.
Hearing this, the man looked at Brother Ning and shook his head and said: You can't do it, my work here is all manual work, and I am afraid that you can't do it if your body is so thin.
Brother Ning said: Don't look at me thin, I have the strength and I have done it.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man thought for a while and said, Anyway, there are few people in our industry who are willing to do it, although this kid is a little thin, as long as he is willing to do it, it should be okay.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then you can stay and try."
After that, he paused, and then said: Work as a laborer in my place, twenty dollars a month, and two meals at noon and at night.
After that, he waved to a young man who was nailing the wedge and shouted: Little third son, put your work on the table first, and use a big saw with this little brother to break some boards.
Hearing this, the young man put down the axe in his hand and walked over, he looked at Brother Ning, and then shook his head and said: Follow me.
After that, he took Brother Ning and walked towards the courtyard.
The shopkeeper of Fuyuan Restaurant instructed the fat ball who had changed into the clothes of the running hall: Fatty, it is almost dawn, and the guests are about to come to eat, you go to the door and wait to greet the guests.
Fat Ball Road: Okay, I'll go meet those fathers.
Walked towards the door, then stood on the side of the gate and rushed out to wait.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned, and said in his heart, greet those fathers, how can you say that, is this fat man's father going to come to dinner, but I think it's not right, this fat man is going to meet those fathers, that is, it's not a father, it's a group of fathers. Could it be that this fat man's home is very messy, and he has a group of fathers?
If he didn't understand the shopkeeper, he didn't think about it, he shook his head, then turned and walked to the back kitchen.
At this time, a man of about forty years old led a teenage boy to the front of the restaurant and looked inside.
Fat Ball rushed to the person with a smile and greeted warmly: Hello uncle?
The middle-aged man politely asked: Hello little brother, is this restaurant open?
Fat Ball hurriedly said: It's open, it's open, if the uncle wants to support the meal, please come in.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned and asked: What did you say?
Fat Ball Road: I said uncle, if you want to support the rice, please come in.
The middle-aged man glared at the fat ball angrily and scolded: You are insane.
After that, he pulled the little boy and turned around and left, saying to the little boy as he walked: Let's go, let's go to another house to eat.
After a while, two young men in their twenties walked into the door of the restaurant while talking, and Fat Ball hurriedly greeted him: "Two big brothers, are you going to eat or drink?"
Hearing this, the two young men were also stunned, and looked at the fat ball strangely together, and suddenly, one man's face changed and he pulled the other and hurriedly walked out, saying as he walked: Let's go to another house.
Another man asked strangely: Brother Hu, what's wrong?
The man said: Brother Wang, you are not from this town and don't know, that fat man is a gangster in this town, just do some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, we don't have to eat well and lose the money bag on our bodies.
Hearing this, the fat ball angrily scolded the backs of the two: You just stole the money bag, bastard, don't you know that Lao Tzu has corrected and returned to evil, ah, no, is it to change the evil and return to the right and not steal things.
The shopkeeper walked out of the back kitchen, and when he saw that there was no guest in the restaurant, he couldn't help muttering strangely: Hey, it's all over, why didn't anyone come to eat?
Fat Ball answered: Came twice, looked at the door and left.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was puzzled and said: Let's go, why, our restaurant is newly renovated, clean and bright, there is no reason to leave.
While the two were talking, an old man in his sixties with a stick walked in from outside the door, and the two hurriedly greeted him, each with one arm and one arm, and helped the old man to sit at a table.
The old man looked at the two of them: Yo, the restaurant has changed.
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: Yes, now I run this restaurant, and I welcome the uncle to come and visit often.
Fat Ball said with a smile: Old man, what do you always want to support?
Hearing this, the old man was stunned, his face changed suddenly, and he said very angrily: What did you ------ your kid just said?
The shopkeeper was stupid and looked at the fat ball in a daze.
Fat Ball still smiled and said: I said, you always want to support something.
Hearing this, the old man picked up the stick in his hand and knocked it the fat ball's head, and said angrily: I didn't recruit you and didn't provoke you, why are you scolding me, you are not afraid of hurting the sky and beating five thunders when you scold an old man.
The fat ball screamed "ahh
As soon as the old man got up from the chair and walked out with a stick, he said angrily as he walked: What kind of shop is this, I will be scolded when I enter the door, I will not eat, I will not eat, I will be full of anger.
The shopkeeper woke up, and hurriedly ran to the old man's side to accompany him: Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm new to the hall, and I can't speak, so you have a lot of forbearance.
Hearing this, the old man snorted angrily and said: You shopkeeper is really powerful, where to make such a piece of material, laughing and scolding, angry people don't pay for their lives.
The old man walked out of the restaurant as he spoke.
The shopkeeper turned around and yelled at the fat ball: What are you doing, why don't you see a guest until now, it turns out that you kid scolded and ran away.
Hearing this, Fat Ball looked very wronged and said: Shopkeeper, I didn't scold.
The shopkeeper said: You haven't scolded anyone yet, everyone is so old, you actually let the family support the food, how did your mother teach you.
Fat Ball Road: I never saw my mother, and my mother couldn't teach me, but our neighbor Sanniangzi called his son like this, every day when it was time to eat, she stood at the door and shouted, turtle eggs, where are you dead, don't you come back to support the meal, I just learned from her, the shopkeeper, I don't understand, when the mother calls her son like this, is it scolding?
The shopkeeper's angry face turned white, and he waved his hand at the fat ball and said: Okay, okay, you kid is an uncle, I can't use you as an uncle-level character in this small shop, please walk uncle.
With that, he reached into his arms and took out a dozen copper coins and stuffed them into the fat ball's hand.
Fat Ball said angrily: There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master. Walk and walk, who is afraid of whom.
With that, he tore off the coat he was wearing, threw it on a dining table, and turned around and left.
