Chapter 84: Wu Zhi extinguished the fire and choked on the golden lotus, this omen is not good
Wu Zhi shouted "no will" twice, and instantly entered the warehouse of his parents, searching for lighters and matches. I soon bought a large package of matches, there are a total of eight small boxes in it, it cost nine pieces of eight, this is an art match, the brand name is "The Story of Time", the number of matches in each box is not much, but the red phosphorus on the head is relatively large, and the stick is longer than the ordinary one, which can be ignited more easily and burn longer......
In addition, I spent five cents to buy a simple lighter with color and transparency, in short, be prepared, so that the lighter can be placed on your body, and the matches can be distributed to Li Zhong and Gu Sister-in-law for their use, which is convenient.
After all, in the past few days since the opening, several of them have helped a lot, and they have brought people over to cheer up, and they have taken care of the things in the Tianwang Hall as if they were their own affairs, this kind of bold friendship makes Wu Zhi deeply grateful in his heart, you know, in modern times, as people grow older and their careers are busy, the original relationship between relatives and friends is easy to become weaker and more distant......
Although the contact information is very extensive, it is very strange, and it is not as good as going back to the open courtyard and old neighborhood of ten or twenty years ago...... The kind of comfort and simplicity!
There are always endless topics to talk about and partners to talk about......
Since the opening day, Wu Zhi has not accepted Li Zhong and Gu's sister-in-law's money, and the beef noodles are eaten casually, and they are full, which is the only thing that Wu Zhi can do at present, and the two of them do not shirk or twist, which is very in line with Wu Zhi's temper, so although it is a temporary foursome, they get along very well.
Sometimes, some hard work, but also Li Zhong and Gu sister-in-law rushed to do it, neither complained about Wu Zhi, a modern person pampered, nor the kind of hidden, this is not good to say that the situation that dare not be said, Wu Zhi is not afraid of someone complaining, on the contrary, he is more afraid that the close people have helped you do things, not to say it on the surface, but in the heart to give you an account, which is uncomfortable, and if you can't meet the expectations of the other party in something, at that time, once they break out, and then bring up those kindness to you, it will be very sad......
But Li Zhong and Gu's sister-in-law didn't. The four of them can say whatever comes to each other's minds, similar to the feeling of "childlike words", but they are simple to each other.
In this way, I will not be tired of living. If you have one thing to say, and then understand each other more, just like getting along with Fang Qiong, everyone will be comfortable.
Therefore, Wu Zhi thought, although in modern times, matches are a thing that no one cares about, but, fire is the source of human life, in ancient times it was a treasure, think about the Western mythology of Prometheus to steal the fire for human use, it can be seen that the importance of fire, moreover, fire is also a representative of passion and justice, therefore, it is most appropriate to send like-minded friends, so Wu Zhi picked a large bag of art matches, thinking about giving them to Li Zhong and Gu's sister-in-law, otherwise, just make your own fire, Just have a lighter, you don't have to spend any money......
With a lighter, the fire was quickly lit. The cooking fire began to flutter in the sky above the Heavenly King Hall again, showing a vibrant atmosphere. In the past, everyone knew that there would be people in the place where there was smoke, whether it was a living person on the outsider's road, or a man at home who had not returned, and often relied on this to guide the way and find the way home......
Just like the feeling of the lights of thousands of homes in modern times, the smoke curling from the ancients is the same sign, the same warmth!
Everything is on track.
This afternoon's customers arrived earlier than the previous two days, and in the evening, as soon as it was time to arrive, people came to the store one after another. The Tennodo began to get busy. โnote 1
At the beginning, it was the same as usual, the noodle eaters were all men, and most of them were raw customers, and it seems that the signboard has indeed been launched, and it has radiated to several nearby villages and towns, which is a good sign.
"Careful, careful, slow, slow......"
Wu Zhi looked back, only to see that at the door, the regular customer Zhao Qi was struggling to carry an elderly woman down from an ox cart, and an old squire next to him shouted "be careful" and "slow", behind them, there was a large group of people around, and I didn't know what this posture was about......
Fang Qiong was also stunned, what is this for?
Jin Lian, Li Zhong, and Sister-in-law Gu didn't react for a while.
But I saw Zhao Qi holding the old woman and stepping over the courtyard gate, and a woman in her forties beside Zhao Qi had already hurried a few steps to spread a blanket in her hand on an embroidered mound, and Zhao Qi slowly put the old man down and helped her sit down.
"What is this?" Wu Zhi opened his mouth to greet Zhao Qi and asked.
"Wuda, this is my wife, she is old, her legs and feet are inconvenient, she can't move around, and you have rules here, so I can only borrow an ox cart and carry her here, if nothing else, I just want to taste your bowl of beef noodles......"
"Zhao Qi, you really have a heart...... Wu Zhi suddenly realized, and compared his heart to Zhao Qi, yes, I just said in the morning that everyone is welcome to bring their daughters over, but from noon until now, no one has seen this movement, but Zhao Qi was the first to respond, and carried the old lady over, and he was really attentive.
"Have a heart, have a heart......" Other diners and onlookers also compared their hearts and echoed them, expressing their praise for Zhao Qi's filial piety.
"Who is this?" Wu Zhi asked the middle-aged woman who had been standing quietly behind Zhao Qi again.
"This is my insider. Let's come over and eat a bowl of noodles. Zhao Qi replied.
"I love my wife, I love my mother, Zhao Qi, you are a gentleman!" Wu Zhi gave a thumbs up and praised, and swept Zhao Qi's woman, only to see that this woman was wearing a brocade dress and skirt, up, with light makeup painted on the goose egg face, a phoenix hairpin on her head, and down, a pair of feet were hidden in the skirt that mopped the floor, and the calves were hidden.
It's just that Zhao Qi's eyes are a little dodgy.
In addition, Wu Zhi praised Zhao Qi this time, and others didn't respond much, but a few people arched their hands in a daze, but they muttered in their mouths, and they couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Wuda, quick, three bowls of beef noodles." Zhao Qi shouted.
Wu Zhi immediately sped up his action, the sound of popping sounded again, and suddenly it became lively outside the door again, it turned out that Cheng Laohu was pulling his father with one hand and his mother with the other, and the whole family rushed to the noodle restaurant......
Behind him, followed by Zhang Jin and the old couple. Zhang Jin is over fifty, but his wife is several years younger than his age, because the family is poor, so she is naturally inferior to Zhao Qi's wife in terms of dress, but in fact, her appearance is not bad, and she is also average, but the flickering and uneasiness in her eyes are far heavier than Zhao Qi's wife......
