After finishing everything, I came to see the craftsmen work, and I also understood the old man's idea of repairing.

First of all, all the old chairs and rotten tables in the store are not used, and a new set is made, and then the beams, railings and rafters of the room are repaired, and then they are repainted to prevent insects and moths, and the tiles on the roof are re-selected, which is indeed a three-to-five day job.

Glancing at the many old tables and chairs that were now piled up outside the room, they were probably going to be used for fire, but the scalper sighed, and couldn't help but look at the street outside the door, but he didn't find the person he wanted to wait.

The ox stood by and watched the craftsman's door to work, and when it was almost the end of the hour, the ox, who had been trained all morning and was frightened, was dying of fatigue, but finally waited for the beggars he had invited in the morning.

When he went out to look, he saw that the leading beggar boy had brought twelve flowers, five women and seven men, including exactly thirteen of them, and when he saw that the scalper was really waiting for him in the store, he stood up and asked, "Is what you said in the morning true?" ”

The scalper smiled and said: "Naturally, take it seriously, the reputation of my old Huang family, Huangzhou City can be used as a moneymaker!" ”

Suddenly, the young man knelt down with a plop and said to the scalper with a straight face: "It's good to be serious, if you can really give our brothers and sisters a full bite to eat, I Ye Dalong will make you a cow and a horse!" ”

As soon as Ye Dalong knelt down, the twelve children behind him also learned to kneel, and then under the leadership of Ye Dalong, he kowtowed to the scalper three times, which made the scalper stunned.

"Grandpa, what are you doing with these flowers that can't be raised?" After listening to the movement, the craftsmen who came out to take a look were also stunned, and Chen Gou'er, the son of Third Uncle Chen, saw it and asked, "Isn't that the extra table of noodles prepared for these flowers?" ”

Third Uncle Chen was also surprised, and he also shook his head and said: "It's strange, if the Huang family wants to accept apprentices and recruit little girls, I'm afraid that a lot of lovers are willing to come, what can I do if I can't support these families?" Okay, concentrate on doing things, don't worry about the affairs of the owner. ”

The scalper has grown so big, and it is the first time that someone has kowtowed to him, and the first thing he felt was panic, but he felt that the feeling of panic was also good, and he immediately smiled and said: "Okay!" Get up, and come with me! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the old tables and chairs piled up outside the store for a few children to set the table, and asked people to go to the stove with him to take out the hot table food, and personally took the remaining jar of soil and took the empty jar and put it in half, then poured water into the remaining small half of the jar, and then poured a bowl for each of the little beggars, and then took the bowl and said: "After drinking this bowl of wine, you will follow me to mix, and as long as I have meat to eat in the future, you must have broth to drink, dry!" ”

A group of little beggars all looked at each other, they really hadn't seen this battle, but Ye Dalong was sensible, he turned his neck and dried the water and wine in the bowl, and then wiped his mouth and said: "Master, the younger brothers and sisters are still young, but I'm afraid they won't be able to drink." ”

The scalper smiled: "In the future, I will be called Young Master!" This wine is mixed with water, it will not be intoxicating, and there is still a lot of work to be done after eating. ”

The beggars all got up and called out to the young master, and then boldly took the bowl and drank, although the taste of the wine was very light, but there were still many people who blushed from drinking. Then under the leadership of Ye Dalong, he dealt with the food on the table like a real storm, and cleverly went directly to the chicken, duck and fish, and the young ones who were not good at chopsticks simply grabbed it, almost in the blink of an eye, the dishes on the table were clean, but the small bowls in front of each child were piled up like a mountain.

The scalpers are not discouraged, these beggars have suffered a lot, and this kind of behavior of fighting for food and grabbing food for a while will definitely not be changed.

It was only half an hour of effort, and the thirteen children stuffed the food in their bowls into their stomachs, and then their stomachs bulged one by one, even the eldest Ye Dalong was no exception, but he had less water and more wine in his stomach, and in the name of helping, he dried up all the water and wine that other children couldn't drink.

Looking at a group of children with thin bodies but big bellies, the scalper smiled: "Are you all full?" When you're full, follow me! ”

Seeing these children hugging him and following him to the main street, the scalper was so happy that he forgot that he was just a child.

Seeing the thirteen children following him with a happy face, he said in his heart that his first batch of younger brothers were accepted in this way, which was too smooth, and if he wanted to do something, he had to have money first!

After walking a short distance, I went to a pawnshop, and then compared to the children's figures, I bought a set of old clothes, and went to the ready-to-wear store to buy two sets of obscene clothes, profane pants and shoes and socks. Then I found a shop to comb my hair, and after asking about the fact that it is more expensive to use medicine to remove head lice than shaving my head, I shaved all the boys' heads, but gave the girls medicine.

After washing, they came out wearing the newly bought clothes, and went to the ready-to-wear store to buy cloth hats for the boys, and then went to the small grass market on the side street, and sold a large number of bamboo poles, bamboo strips and reed mats, as well as a dozen iron pots, iron cans, and frying pans, and bought a large bundle of finger-thick iron branches from the blacksmith shop, and ordered a thousand pointed thin iron branches, and then rented a mule cart and led the children back to the old shop.

When he arrived at the door of the store, after letting the mule cart unload the goods, he pointed to the open space on the north side of the room and said, "Okay! When I go and invite the master, let's do it! ”

Saying that, the scalper entered the store, looked for Uncle Chen and said, "Third uncle, but I'm going to come to work, I want to ask the third uncle to teach us to build a shed." ”

The ox brought people back to the movement of the craftsman naturally saw it, heard him say how to not help, think about it is not troublesome, so they all stopped the work in hand to come out to help, not half an hour with bamboo poles, bamboo strips on the open land to build three sheds, the shed is surrounded by reed mats, and it is done.

As soon as the shed was built, the scalper saw his own mule cart carrying Yao Erniang and Kong Bo coming, and looked at the three newly built sheds, Yao Erniang on the car was very surprised.

The scalper hurriedly greeted Yao Erniang and helped Yao Erniang get out of the car, pointed to the shed and said with a smile: "Niang Ke is here, look at these sheds, okay?" ”

Yao Erniang got out of the car with a surprised face, looked at the three sheds that seemed to be solid, but asked: "Niu'er, didn't you just say it last night, this matter still needs to be planned by your mother and your father, why did you do it today?" ”

The scalper said: "It's not a big deal, you have to plan a few things, and now my father has an emergency again, but I have to wait for my father to get better?" The book said that Ji Wenzi thought twice before acting, and when he heard it, he said, 'Again, Si Keyi', I naturally said and did it. ”

Yao Erniang was amused when she heard it, she naturally read the book in the scalper's mouth, and the truth in the book was naturally right, but the scalper's behavior of doing what she said was still unacceptable, and she was thinking about how to persuade her son, but she saw several boys and girls surrounding her, and then bowed to Yao Erniang and said, "I've seen the old lady!" ”
