It was almost dark, and the pedestrians on the street stepped up a few steps under their feet, and shrunk their heads and sleeves towards their respective homes. Although the shops on the street are still shouting vigorously for their own business, their eyes are also straight towards the boundary behind the storefront, where the smell of food wafts from the storefront, and it is obvious that they are hungry.

There are also gold and silver buildings and ready-to-wear shops, and they are all on the door panel at this time. Through the cracks in the door that revealed some dim light, all I could hear in my ears was the movement of the bookkeeper pulling the abacus beads and the bottom account for a day. In some shops that hired bodyguards to keep vigil in the courtyard, the bodyguards who held a big sweep (the name of the weapon, shaped like nunchucks, but one of them was longer) and the mercy fork (a double-strand fork with a raised ring on the tip of the fork, which limited the depth of the fork tip into the flesh, and the purpose was to slightly injure the opponent, hence the name of the mercy fork) had already eaten dinner, and at this time he cut open a plate of beautiful radishes in his heart, and chatted with a pot of hot tea, recuperating and waiting to stay up all night.

Seeing that all the businesses were deserted, and a few pedestrians were gradually lost on the street, but those second-meat shops and taverns poked at the corners and alleys were at the time when business was at its most prosperous.

They all deliberately greeted, and no one paid attention to it, and all the people who could enter the second meat shop in this stall were all bitter people who worked hard in Sijiu City. Lifting the thick curtain of oil-stained twist flowers, I glanced at the crowded shop, and almost could touch a few familiar friends and old brothers, so I nodded and said hello, and sat down in the cracks of those familiar friends and old brothers who had just let them out.

As usual, the blanket hanging from his shoulders is thrown under his feet, and others can understand how many chews and wraps they have to buy back in a day by listening to the movement of the blanket when it lands. The mixed noodles and dry food brought out by the head of the family in his arms were put on the stove, and his hands stretched out to the half-bright stove, and his mouth was already shouting at the master in charge of the second meat shop: "As usual, add four taels of old white dry and hot!" ”

As soon as the words fell. The master who was standing behind the black stove was already waving his spoon and scooping up a little meat oil from the big wooden barrel resting under his feet, and sprinkling flowers in a circle into the big iron pot in front of him, and his other hand rested on the board and swept his head, and he was stunned to pull some cabbage gangs and radish lumps from under the kitchen knife of the young man who cut vegetables and threw them into the pot.

Without waiting for the patron sitting in the second meat shop to understand the explosion of the vegetarian dish falling into the boiling meat oil, a handful of coarse salt and a spoonful of water had already entered the pot, and a black water willow wooden pot lid was also buckled to the mouth of the pot.

The hour is short. A plate of cabbage boiled in meat and oil has been put in front of the patron who was shouting loudly, and the old white gan with the hot four taels mixed with some water has also been put on the small shelf knocked out with an iron sheet next to the half-bright stove - in the winter days of the city, if there is no house to warm the plate with the hot heat of the stove, after the plate of dishes is served, I can't wait for the customers to eat two bites, but I am afraid that the white oil flowers can already be condensed on the top of the dish, and there will be no food to eat and look at the appearance!

People say that a family has to live together through thick and thin, but it is really the turn of those poor families who rely on the strength of the head of the family to support their families. Do you really have to say that?

Strive to die hard, and at the end of the day, you can get back the family's chewing wraps, and what is passing is the days when your hands stop and your mouth stop. If you don't let the old men who work hard to earn food get a little bit of meat when they see the sky, I'm afraid that people will be tired and out of shape after half a month, and no matter how strong a man is, he won't be able to last for half a year.

But you can earn such a small amount of money to live with a lot of melons and dates, if you really go to share the joys and sorrows, then no one can afford to eat it, right?

As a result, the bitter people in Sijiu City who worked hard could only take care of their mouths and stomachs first. Leave it in the second meat shop outside, dip some meat oil to satisfy hunger, drink two sips of Lao Bai to work and get rid of fatigue, and then go home and put the little food earned back on the stove. Only then did he fall towards the kang and snort in the sound of an old snack......

Everyone feels sorry for their wives and children in the family, and everyone looks forward to straightening their waists and making their families live decently, but ......

In this world and year, who can have a rut?!

It is estimated that it is because it is cold outside, and it seems that he has a good job and has earned two more money. A few coolies who were familiar with each other got together a dozen or so eldest sons and asked for a hanging of pigs to fry in the water, and one person added two taels of old white gan, drank two more sips around the stove, and then opened the idle article: "I said a few old brothers, let's do this work today." Is it really a light time? ”

"Isn't it? Looking at the top of the hill where the sky is dark, I also thought that the few I earned today are enough for the family to drink a mouthful of stick noodles and thin soup, and I am worried about the hurdles, but I came to this job! ”

"It's still light! Eight big carts are piled high with tarpaulins, and I'm still going to die! But I didn't expect that as soon as I got started, it flashed my old waist - that car of things is estimated to weigh less than 200 catties! ”

"Brother, have you ever thought about it? What are the things on those eight big frame cars? ”

"What are you doing here? In this year, I can get such a light job, three or four streets away, and I can earn two dollars without a white sweat, so let's have fun with a few brothers! Come, brothers, eating and drinking! ”

They are all bitter people who work hard to make a living, and they are not so polite and particular when they are hungry. However, with a pot of hot tea, a whole hanging of pigs into the water had already made a few hungry bitter people eat a clean light, and even the old Baigan who had some water in the wine pot drank it cleanly.

Wiped a handful of greasy lips that were rare for a while, and a few bitter people who were trying to survive stood up lazily, each picked up the blanket that was resting under his feet and put it on his shoulder, and turned his head and walked towards the door of the second meat shop.

I already have a mouth full of oil and a round belly, but there are still several mouths waiting to be eaten at home!

Just picked up the oil-stained twisted door curtain, and a few strong men who bumped into the second meat shop head-on suddenly made Na Liba, who was talking about the door curtain, shout: "Yo... It's not ...... How many of you ......"

Looking up and down at the strong men who crashed into the second meat shop head-on, Liba, who had just been full of wine and food, suddenly opened his teeth!

Just a moment ago, the characters who hired themselves to pull the cart were the strong men in front of them who crashed into the second meat shop. Looking at the clothes of those strong men, no matter how you look at it, it has to be the long-term entourage and follower of a big family.

But this is the kung fu of the blink of an eye. These strong men all changed into shabby clothes worn by Liba, and they all had a torn felt hat with piercing eyes and missing brims on their heads, and even their faces were covered with dust, looking like a bitter man who had just sold his strength.

With a smile on his face in disbelief, among the few Liba who had just eaten and drunk, one of them suddenly smiled: "Hey...... A few masters. Where are you singing? It's a cold day......"

With a glaring of eyes, several strong men looked at the characters who seemed to be beating the head, twisting their voices and shouting in a low voice, blocking Naliba's words: "I've been wandering around outside all day, and I'll go back to lie down when I'm full of food and drink!" Leave it outside, but it's not as good as you! ”

As soon as the words fell, a piece of ocean had smashed hard into the arms of the mouthy Liba. Before the hairy Liba caught the ocean to say another word, an older companion who followed Naliba pushed the Liba out of the door of the second meat shop, and muttered with a low smile: "It's a little bit of wine?" After a few sips, I recognized friends and made friends indiscriminately...... I don't know anyone, but you call everyone uncle, don't you? ”

In the voice of the words that are clearly explained and disguised. A few Liba, who hurriedly left the second meat shop, almost trotted out two streets, and then they stopped, found a leeward place on the corner of the street to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, and rubbed their stomachs that were sore again.

Pinching the ocean that fell into his arms inexplicably, the mouthy Liba seemed to have just come back to his senses, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "I said a few brothers, and I just hired us to pull the car, I'm afraid the number of roads is wrong, right?" I've just met. But you don't know if you turn your face? This piece of the ocean...... Shut up money for me, isn't it? ”

Holding his aching little belly, the older Liba gasped and responded, "You can really do things...... Do you still have a little eyesight? I've already seen people dressed up in disguise. Then it is specified that there is something inconvenient to show your face in front of people, and we can't hide it...... You're still in a hurry to make friends with people? Isn't it death? ”

Very unconvinced, the mouthy Liba muttered in a low voice: "Where can there be such evil nature......"

Reluctantly standing up straight, the older Liba sighed faintly: "You forgot, right?" Just five years ago, someone hired a group of Liba in Dashilar to deliver goods out of the city. There was a Liba who reached out and touched the inside of the goods that had been tied...... Since then. But there are still people who have seen that many hands and feet of Liba? In the past two days, we've all been working on this left, so stay away! If my estimate is good, within three days, this left is close to the surroundings, and the appointment will be something! ”

It's almost at the stalls where Liba is figuring out. A few of them changed into a Liba dress, and even the Nu Ye who carried two mixed noodles and dry food in his arms, had already occupied a stove in the second meat shop, and drank Lao Baigan with all the meat dishes that could be rectified in the second meat shop, but a pair of ears were all erected, listening attentively to the movement outside the second meat shop.

In the cold weather, there are few idlers on the streets of Sijiu City who can stand still. If you really poke it on the street near the left side of the Jushe shop, I'm afraid it's just a bowl of tea, and those small jobs at the door of the Jushe shop can see what's wrong. When the time comes, it is said that he is helping Nu Ye to watch the night pigeon that others are serving, but I am afraid that even my own life will have to be thrown in a black alley tonight!

——Before I came, there were leopards but thousands of instructions and instructions, and the work and shopkeepers in the shops of the Chrysanthemum Society were all masters who were really willing to kill, and even the Westerners in the German Shantang were slaughtered on the street!

In desperation, this second meat shop closest to the shop of the Chrysanthemum Society has become the best choice for hiding.

Pinching a small wine cup with a missing edge, a long entourage beside Nu Ye brought the small wine cup to his mouth, but he stopped his hand with round eyes, and said to the other long retinues who had changed into Liba's clothes: "How can I ...... Faintly, as if I heard the movement of the dumb whistle that Nu Ye said? Did you hear that? ”

Listening with his ears pricked up for a moment, another Chang Sui, who was also holding a small wine cup, whispered angrily: "You have donkey hair stuffed in your ears, don't you?" Where's the movement of the dumb whistle? It's obviously the sound of the small north wind blowing through the window paper! Look at your astonishing ......"

"Aren't I also afraid of delaying the big event of the angry master? If you want to say that this method of training night pigeons, even the angry master heard it from others, can you take it seriously or say it - I said a few brothers, this night pigeon is really stuffy in the pigeon building during the day, and it is not released until it is dark to walk the wings? ”

"If you ask me, who am I asking? Isn't this the first time a big girl has been in a sedan chair? I said, are all the things on those big cars hidden? ”

"Don't worry! Around the chrysanthemum shop, a gossip array was placed in the black alley! As long as the pigeons come out that night, they must be held in this gossip array, and they don't want to go anywhere! ”

"Speaking of kung fu at this time, where did the angry master go?"

"The master with the surname in the main gate of the fire, one is in the limelight, and the other is in the limelight, just waiting for the pigeon to come out that night!"

"Hey...... This time, the angry master has really made a bloody investment! Not to mention the side, in the second half of the day, the eagles, eagles, buzzards, kites, vultures, harriers, ospreys, owls, and owls that can be seen on the streets of Laoguanyuan are all collected regardless of their appearance and price. ”

"Isn't it? This hasn't allowed us old brothers to get their hands dirty, all of them have spent money to hire those mallets who have just entered Sijiu City to do the deal! Seeing that the gate of the city was locked in the dark, those mallets also took the benefits out of the city. In the future, some people want to check from here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to find those faceless mallets? ”

"Dare to love! Those mallets that appeared today, we are all deliberately looking for the master of Tianjin Wei's accent! Even if it really makes people go to Tianjin Wei in the future, I'm afraid it will be a strong dragon who can't suppress the number of snakes, right? ”

"Speak! Listen ......" (To be continued......
