020 See the Divine Stick Again
"Full?"
"It's full."
"What are you doing licking the plate when you're full?"
"Who licked! …… So much oil, it's a pity. ”
"If you haven't eaten enough, I'll have a few more dishes."
"No, how can you ask for food."
"Why don't I ask Xiao Er to go downstairs and order a flat meal?"
"Flat Food...... It doesn't seem to be particularly delicious. ”
“……”
After destroying six dishes and one soup like a storm, the brother and sister couldn't eat, and sat by the window, chatting lazily about the day and eating. Su Hao recalled for a moment, as if he only ate one-third of the whole table, and the remaining two-thirds went into Lu Xiu'er's stomach. This is also Su Hao's intention to let Lu Xiu'er, after all, he had eaten countless good things in his previous life, and he couldn't afford to grab food with a poor little sister here.
"Brother, it would be nice if Mom could eat with us here." Lu Xiuer began to think of Yang Gendi, she has always been a kind-hearted girl, and she will think about sharing some good things with her family and even friends. After eating, she felt a little guilty and felt that such a good dish should be eaten when her adoptive mother came to the city.
Su Hao said: "Let's settle down first, and when we pack up and my errand is stable, I will take my mother to live in the city, and at that time, we will eat better things." ”
"How can you always eat like this, I don't know if 3 dollars of silver is enough for this meal." Lu Xiu'er whispered.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a smile, and before he could speak, he asked, "Two guest officers, have you eaten well?" ”
"Eat it."
"Would you like to make a pot of tea?"
"Well, if there is any tea that doesn't cost money, make a pot. By the way, let the counter settle the account. ”
"The account has been calculated, and the two of you have a total of 2 coins and 7 cents of silver, and there are 30 cents left." The shopkeeper replied.
"You have worked hard, these 30 articles will be rewarded to you." Su Hao said generously. In the Ming Dynasty, China still had a fine tradition of tipping service staff, and seeing that the shopkeeper was dedicated and smart, Su Hao felt that it was really unreasonable not to tip.
"A small thank you officer." The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and there were usually guests who gave tips, but it was rare to reward 30 yuan at once, and he was deeply ashamed of his previous contempt for Su Hao.
The shopkeeper went to make tea, and Lu Xiu'er had the heart to discuss the tip with Su Hao, and after thinking about it, she didn't bother to open her mouth again. She knew that as soon as she said it, her brother would definitely be the same set of rhetoric, how much money he earned, and so on, how could she say anything about him. Since she couldn't change anything, she simply followed Su Hao's example and turned her head to look at the street scene.
"Two people who are destined, do you want to make a divination for you?"
A voice sounded beside them, and the brother and sister looked back and couldn't help but be happy. Standing at their table with a solemn face, the Taoist who was pretending to be a ghost was actually an acquaintance, that is, Chen Guanyu, a feng shui master who had previously surveyed the well in Zhegui Township.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chen? How did you change your career? Su Hao asked with a smile.
"Well, it's Su Xiucai and Miss Lu......" Chen Guanyu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw that the other party was an acquaintance, and it was an acquaintance who had made him deflated, and he said: "Poor Dao has not changed careers, and Poor Dao has always been a Taoist." ”
"Aren't you a feng shui master? Why don't you go to the feng shui survey and go to the restaurant to help people tell the fortunes. Su Hao asked.
When he mentioned this, Chen Guanyu's tears were about to fall, he sighed and said, "The poor road fell into such a field, and it was all thanks to you, Gongzi." ”
"Hehe, don't lie to me, okay? It's because you're not good at learning your own arts, why do you blame me? Su Hao replied angrily.
Chen Guanyu nodded and said, "Indeed, so Poor Dao does not resent the son." However, it is always true that you did not kill Beren, but Beren died because of you, right? ”
Su Hao smiled: "You're not going to die, are you?" ”
Chen Guanyu said: "Although he is not dead yet, he is not far from death." Poor Dao didn't earn 10 yuan in half a day, and if it continues like this, it is not easy to die well. ”
"What's going on?" Su Hao saw that Chen Guanyu didn't look like he was laughing, and hurriedly said, "You sit down and say, what's wrong?" By the way, did you eat? ”
Chen Guanyu pulled a stool on one side and sat down, shook his head and said, "Poor Dao has not eaten a grain of rice since morning. ”
"Little Er!" Su Hao raised his hand and beckoned to the shopkeeper: "Bring this Taoist leader a bowl of noodles and put more minced meat." ”
Xiao Er came over in response, poured tea for Su Hao and Lu Xiu'er first, and then asked with a sad face: "...... is the face money of this Taoist leader?"
"Count me in the account." Su Hao said, he found that after he finished speaking, Xiao Er's face became even more ugly, and after thinking about it, he realized what Xiao Er was worried about. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the money that was rewarded to you before is yours, and I will settle the face money of the Taoist chief." ”
"Hehe, what's the guest officer's words, I'm just asking this Taoist chief if the noodles are big or small." The shopkeeper was quite embarrassed by Su Hao's heart, and hurriedly covered it up.
After a while, the noodles were served, but it was just a matter of 10 yuan, and Su Hao asked Lu Xiuer to pay the bill.
Chen Guanyu thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat noodles with a snort. A bowl of noodles was eaten in less than a minute, and Chen Guanyu's face began to glow, and he was a little bit more energetic when he was in Longkou Village a few days ago.
"Master Su, Miss Lu, do you know something...... Chen Guanyu began to tell about his suffering experience.
It turned out that since the well pointed out by Su Hao was pumped out of water, Zheng Chun's attitude towards Chen Guanyu had become bad. Zheng Chun knew that although with the help of Su Hao, he was able to drill a few good wells, but he had drilled so many waste wells before, he would definitely be scolded in front of the magistrate in the future, and the root of all this was Chen Guanyu's incompetence.
When Li Xing returned from the county seat, he brought an edict in Hangul, saying that Chen Guanyu was a liar and asked Zheng Chun to drive him away. With Hangul's words, Zheng Chun had confidence, he immediately found Chen Guanyu, first reprimanded him, and then asked the officials to snatch all the money from Chen Guanyu, leaving him a robe. Zheng Chun also said that because Chen Guanyu did not understand the art of surveying public opinion, he deliberately deceived the government, causing a serious waste of the government's cost of drilling wells, and ordered Chen Guanyu to compensate.
Chen Guanyu was originally just a feng shui master who did not enter the stream, and on weekdays, he was just helping people look at feng shui, jumping gods, and earn some money to make ends meet, so how could he have any savings to compensate for the cost of drilling wells. Zheng Chun didn't care about this, so he drove Chen Guanyu away, and threatened to continue to find him for compensation in the future. This statement of compensation is just a reason made up by Zheng Chun himself, and with this reason, Zheng Chun can blackmail Chen Guanyu at any time in the future, and Chen Guanyu will become Zheng Chun's ATM.
Chen Guanyu was driven out of Longkou Village by Zheng Chun early in the morning and came to the county seat hungry. He also had no means to make a living, he was so hungry that he had to run to the restaurant to help people tell fortunes, in fact, there was no one in the restaurant who would ask him for fortune telling, he just used this as an excuse to find some leftovers from the guests to satisfy his hunger.
Su Hao is a kind person, and there is no contradiction between him and Chen Guanyu. Although at the beginning, Chen Guanyu tried to put the responsibility for not being able to hit the well on Lu Xiuer, but afterwards Su Hao also slapped Chen Guanyu in the face with his own skills, and the two sides were even. Now seeing that Chen Guanyu has fallen into the situation of picking up leftovers in the restaurant because of himself, Su Hao feels a little unbearable, which is why he will invite Chen Guanyu to eat a bowl of noodles.
"Mr. Chen, what are you going to do next?" Su Hao asked.
Chen Guanyu said: "The money on my body has been taken away by Zheng Dian, and I can only think about making ends meet now." As soon as the news of Longkou Village spread, it is estimated that there will be fewer people who ask me to survey Feng Shui in the future, and I am really self-inflicted. By the way, Master Su, why did you have time to come to the county seat, and you still ......"
He didn't say more, but the look on his face already hinted at his doubts. He has been in Longkou Village for these days, and he has paid much attention to Su Hao in the past two days, so he naturally knows the family background of Su Hao's family. Now seeing Su Hao and Lu Xiu'er sitting in such a high-end restaurant to eat, and sitting in the upstairs seat, of course, there is a mystery in this. Chen Guanyu relies on fortune-telling and dancing gods as his profession, and observing words and emotions is his housekeeping ability. When he saw that Su Hao was a warm-hearted person, he was keenly aware that his bad luck might be reversed by Su Hao.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Chen, I came to the county seat because of the well. When the magistrate heard that I had some skills in well surveying, he hired me to work as an errand in the county to be responsible for drilling wells in the county. Su Hao replied.
"Responsible for digging wells in the county!" Of course, Chen Guanyu could hear the meaning of this sentence, and he asked in surprise: "Then Xiaodao dares to inquire, what name did the county magistrate give Su Gongzi?" ”
"Master Koba." Su Hao said, this is not something that needs to be kept secret, so what's the harm in saying it.
"Master?" Chen Guanyu's heart churned, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred were intertwined. Nima, I was ruined, but you became a master. Although the title of master can be big or small, after all, he is a person around the county, and he will not lose face and silver.
A thought suddenly broke into Chen Guanyu's head, he stood up, faced Su Hao, fell to his knees with a plop, and said in his mouth: "Xiaodao Chen Guanyu, please take in Master Su, and I am willing to serve Master Su before and after the saddle!" ”
