Chapter 218: Windfall in the Shadows (I)
Hit the carefully held hot red and gold worship post from his arms, Xiang Youbao was just about to lean towards the door of the cat's house, and several characters in front of the cat's house with rat cages in their hands and shrunken their heads and sleeves suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, do you understand the rules?" ”
"Where is such a stubble outsider? There is a queue behind Ma Yoer, whether it is your turn to see the steward today, it depends on your luck! ”
"Isn't it like you're sitting here for the rest of the morning, and your legs are frozen so that they don't look like you're on your own, where can you be allowed to move forward?"
Looking back at the figures holding the rat cage in their hands, Xiang Youbao arched his hands slightly, and responded with a smile on his face: "A few masters, I am here to visit the cat master, and I am separated from you by this business and business, and I can't delay your affairs." You all admire your faces, let me take a step forward here? ”
With a cold snort, a thin man in front of everyone and wearing a half-worn coat looked Xiang Youbao up and down, but his mouth was unceremoniously exclaimed: "Hey, you're still pretending to be confused here, aren't you?" But whoever can know the mouth of this day and the rules of the palm lamp in the cat's house, who doesn't come to visit the cat's housekeeper and ask for that object?! Ma Yu'er waited later, and now he got up early in the morning and rushed over, but he came for the object! Have you delayed your master's business? Ye can ask you to eat Lantern Festival dew stuffing and drink wonton soup! ”
After glancing at the small pinch pinned under the placket of the thin man's clothes, Xiang Youbao looked at Hu Qianli who was standing not far away with some confusion, and then arched his hand to the thin man again: "This master, I am really a newcomer and don't understand the rules of these things in front of the cat's master." If you want to offend, you can bear with me! ”
It is estimated that he is looking at Xiang Youbao really doesn't look like he is here to rob himself of the reason for business, and the thin man who lifted up his shirt and showed off his belongings nodded to Xiang Youbao with a big grin: "I don't deserve your politeness!" Come out on a cold day to have a meal, and the big guys are also counting on getting that object to have a good year, what should I not do in my words, you also forgive me! ”
Look, it's already talking. Xiang Youbao took a few steps towards the thin man, suppressed his voice and said with a low smile: "This master, it is true that we came to visit the door and asked the cat master, but it is really not an object!" I'm here to ask you a word - what kind of rare object is this, and if you get it, you can have a good year? ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, but the thin man didn't like to take care of him at all, and he twisted his neck and hummed: "This master." If you talk too much, you can hit your tongue! Anyway, in half a while, as soon as the door of the cat's house opens, you can take a look at it yourself! ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the cat's house had already creaked open. Squeezed out of the crack in the door, a middle-aged man with a rat cage covered with a black cloth in his hand, wearing a new green cloth jacket, and with short eyebrows and thin eyes, shouted to several characters in front of the cat's house with a loud voice: "Yo, I said that I can't hide words in this city." It's only been a few days, and I've seen so many people who want to make a fortune for the New Year? If this waits until the stall on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, then there will be no crowds in front of the cat's door? ”
didn't care about the leopard standing beside him, the thin man with the rat cage in his hand rushed to the middle-aged man with short eyebrows and thin eyes, and a Qian'er hit it quickly: "Master steward, you are auspicious!" ”
didn't pay any attention to the thin man who was beating him, but the short-eyed steward pulled out a long stool from the crack in the door and rested it on the side of the door. Only then did he sit on the long stool and Erlang's legs, and shouted in a proud voice: "Qian Laosan, it's only been a month, how many times have you been here?" I can tell you, if you don't quit your fun of gambling, I'm afraid that a mountain of gold will not be enough for you to call! ”
Nodding his head and smiling, Qian Laosan sneered to the side of the person in charge, and used his body to block the sight of everyone behind him. A small cloth bag that had been prepared in the sleeve was quickly stuffed over: "Don't you still have to point to the mercy of the cat master and the steward, you can enjoy the meal?" Hard-working steward, do you take a look at this little thing I brought with me today? This is a serious thing that was dug out of a hole in the bean field outside the city, and the hole was stocked up on twenty pounds of beans."
Gently pinched the small cloth bag that had just been stuffed into his hand by Qian Laosan, and the short-eyed steward suddenly changed his face, raised his hand and threw the small cloth bag on the street: "Qian Laosan, you are living more and more together, aren't you?" It's been such a small two months, and I've taken care of you here to say five times, right?! It's up to you to get the stuff from the cat. Not to mention, you can also line half a small courtyard outside the city in your waist! But you're good, this hand is not rising, but it can't be compared to one time?! This time it's good, the big man in the ocean is fully measured, who are you leaving here? ”
He bowed again and again to the short-eyed steward. Qian Laosan muttered with a bitter face: "Master in charge, it's really not that I, Qian Laosan, don't understand the rules and don't know the number of roads." I really got a total of five things, but only one time can still work, so it took two nights of effort. The other things only survived one night, and one time they walked to the corner of the street, and that thing was just."
sneered, and the steward who crossed Erlang's legs sneered at Qian Laosan, who was full of bitterness, and snorted: "This can only say that your Qian Laosan's life is narrow, and it is not your turn to get this windfall!" When you come back to your door one by one to ask for this object, I say that it is in your head - this object is not something that mortals can pick up, and it doesn't matter how long you can live after you get it, or whether you can get a good thing! What's the matter, your money is thinking about coming to me to find the back account, isn't it? ”
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Qian Laosan reached out and took out a few hot oceans from his arms, and stuffed them into the hands of the steward: "Master steward, there are only a few left in my waist." Please, master, reward me again for this thing, don't I still expect this thing to celebrate the New Year?! ”
After sweeping the hot ocean, the short-eyed steward raised his hand and threw the oceans into the middle of the street: "Do you know that the New Year is going to be celebrated?" Just by virtue of your two jujubes, you took away this treasure thing, you went to the New Year, and I can't celebrate the New Year? Ma Yoer get out of the way, I'm busy with business! ”
Without waiting for Qian Laosan to say a few more words, another figure with a mouse cage behind Qian Laosan had already knocked Qian Laosan away with his shoulders, and smiled and brought the rat cage he was carrying in his hand in front of the steward, and a heavy small cloth bag under the cage was also stuffed into the steward's hand.
Seeing that he couldn't get the thing of the rat cage covered with a black cloth, Qian Laosan could only hang his head and pick up the ocean and the eldest son who had been thrown to the ground by the steward from the center of the street, and then carry the rat cage in his hand and walk towards the street.
Standing aside and looking coldly at the figures carrying rat cages who gradually gathered around the steward, Xiang Youbao hesitated slightly, and glanced at Hu Qianli, who was standing with his hands behind his back, but he quickly chased after Qian Laosan, who was walking towards the street with his head drooping.
As if the sarcastic robbery of the person in charge of the matter was confused, Qian Laosan only waited until Xiang Youbao chased after him, and then he raised his eyebrows and shouted at Xiang Youbao who blocked his way: "What are you doing? I can't see it, I'm not happy, is it? Ma Yu'er is staying aside, I don't have the heart to talk nonsense with you! ”
With a smile on his face, Xiang Youbao didn't care about Qian Laosan's sullen stomach and nowhere to suffocate his face, he reached out and took out a few pieces of ocean from his arms, and shook it towards Qian Laosan's eyes: "Master Qian, I'm afraid you don't have the heart to talk to people at this time, so I won't talk to you about the scene here." Just ask you a few words, these oceans do you take to drink tea to moisten your throat? ”
Raising his eyes and looking at the few pieces of ocean that Xiang Youbao was holding in his hand, Qian Laosan, who was still depressed, suddenly flashed a greedy look in his eyes: "Gentlemen, just want to beat me out of my mouth for the broken money of these two jujubes?" You don't understand the price, do you? ”
Hehe smiled evilly, Xiang Youbao slowly threw the few pieces of ocean in his hand, but he didn't give in at all: "Master Qian, this is the end of the year, there are many people in Sijiu City who are rushing to toss the New Year's silver, and there are few who succeed!" Looking at the price you just handed over to the steward, I guess you don't have a surplus in your hand, right? Master Qian, how much food you eat with a big mouth, you can really delay things if you are greedy and chew too much! A few words to ask you at this price, there are not many such transactions in Sijiu City, right? What's wrong? After this village, there is no such shop! If you are not happy to accept this matter, maybe some of the masters behind you will jump high to answer? ”
Turning his head to look at the characters who were shouting and arguing around the steward in front of the cat's house, Qian Laosan gritted his teeth fiercely: "Come on!" If you can't get the bones, you have to drink soup, and you can't go back empty-handed! This lord, this place is not a place to talk, let's borrow a step?! ”
Pushing the few pieces of ocean in his hand towards his arms, Xiang Youbao pointed back to the second meat shop with a thick cloth curtain hanging low in a quiet alley on the side of the street: "Left is just a few words, let's go back there?" (To be continued.) )
