Chapter 3: Losing Books

The female student said that she would leave, leaving the little carpenter Gan Mo alone, with a stunned face.

The foreman stretched out his hand, forcibly stuffed the two pieces of ocean into the hands of the little carpenter, and said very eagerly: "You are also lucky, you met a good person, and the cat you picked up was actually taken by the foreign master." You take the money, hurry. ”

The little carpenter didn't take the money, he just came to his senses and said, "Are they going to buy a cat?" No, ......"

Although the tiger skin fat cat is not liked by the little carpenter, it was captured by Qu Menghu after all, and he is just raising it, and when he turns around, he still has to return it to Qu Menghu.

Now that it has been sold, Qu Menghu has come to the door, what will he give an explanation?

The foreman saw the unhappiness on the little carpenter's face, and his heart sank - these days, he had a very good impression of this young man, first, he was skillful, hardworking and willing to work, and secondly, he had a good eye, and helped the master carpenter deal with a lot of problems, and he was also very good, knowing advance and retreat, and understanding right and wrong, so at the beginning, the foreigner took a fancy to the fat orange cat, and he was a little apprehensive.

But the foreign master likes it, and the big boss is so respectful to the foreign master, what can he say?

Aren't you going to help out quickly?

He pondered his tone for a moment, and then explained the stakes to the little carpenter.

He was a merchant after all, and when he spoke, one by one, the little carpenter didn't know how to explain it to him, so he could only tell him that the cat was not his, but that a friend had asked him to help raise it.

The foreman of the contractor put his arm around the little carpenter's shoulder, with a cohesive attitude, and said that it was okay, and you will tell your friend when you turn around, this cat is lost by himself, and he can't say anything about you, right? And you still earn two oceans out of nothing.

The little carpenter still shook his head and said no......

He was talking to the foreman when there was a commotion and screams in the distance.

The foreman was startled, and he didn't have time to say anything to him, so he hurriedly ran over to take a look.

The little carpenter also followed, but saw a group of people climbing the wall in order to catch the tiger-skinned fat cat, climbing the wall and climbing the bamboo pole, and chasing and intercepting the bamboo pole, but the little beast did not look at the fat body, but the body was very agile, jumping up and down in the unfinished hall construction site, and none of them could catch it.

When the little carpenter saw this, he couldn't help but want to laugh - that little beast had come out of the old woods, and if nothing else, he was very athletic.

Not to mention these people, even if they are practitioners, it is enough to deal with it.

Seeing that the tiger skin fat cat was making trouble at the construction site, making a mess, and the surrounding group of people were helpless, and the big boss's face was ugly, the overseer Zhang Shuiyu and the contractor foreman both found the little carpenter to come along.

The master overseer said to the little carpenter, "The little beast will listen to you, and let it stop running." ”

The foreman saw that the construction site was full of chickens and dogs, and many piled materials were even messed up because of the chase, and completely forgot the previous benefits of the little carpenter, and said with a blushing face: "Hurry up and stop it." ”

Losing face in front of the big boss made the anger in the chest of the contractor completely uncontrollable.

The little carpenter thought to himself that if I asked the "tiger skin" to stop, you would arrest it, how can I explain it to Qu Menghu?

He spread his hands helplessly and said, "This guy is not mine, where can he listen to me?" ”

He tried to shout twice, and sure enough, the little beast at the wall ignored it completely.

At this time, the big boss with a calm face waved his hand, and a young man in a strong suit standing next to him immediately shouted, kicked his feet, and actually went up to the wall.

Immediately after that, the man took an arrow step, but like the leopard in the forest, he pounced on the tiger-skinned fat cat.

This is a practitioner.

The little carpenter was a little apprehensive, but he saw the fat cat leap down and fall to a black tile piled up on the ground.

The little beast flicked its hind legs, but kicked several pieces of black tiles away, and smashed towards the afterlife, and when the afterlife fell, the feet were empty, and the black tiles that were piled up were directly collapsed, and then the tiger skin fat cat ran forward.

At this moment, the foreigner suddenly showed a speed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and suddenly moved forward, reaching out to catch it.

He was a little surprised at this time, and he was about to catch the tiger-skinned fat cat, but he never thought that this little beast was also a clever thing, and suddenly grabbed it, but he scratched the arm of the foreigner Gangaro.

Immediately after that, it jumped onto the other side of the wall.

A few ups and downs, but they were gone.

This farce came to an end because of the disappearance of the tiger skin fat cat, and the tour of the big boss who was originally full of interest was also interrupted because of this change.

The foreigner touched the bloodied arm, his face was full of chagrin, and he left accompanied by a female student, as if he was going to find a foreigner's clinic, while the big boss had a black face, and reprimanded the contractor and the overseer fiercely, and then waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

The foreman scolded the master craftsman, and then hurriedly followed behind the big boss, trying to explain something more.

The scene was chaotic, and the face of the master overseer was very ugly, and while directing his men to clean up, he looked towards the little carpenter.

The little carpenter was a little innocent and walked back with a wry smile.

He walked around the construction site and saw that the fat orange cat had not left, but had landed on the top of a roof not far away, waving lazily at him.

After making sure that the fat guy was okay, the little carpenter returned to the construction site, and saw several carpenters with strange faces, and did not know what had happened.

As soon as his side settled, Wang Er said to him: "Boss Yang came back just now and was looking for you." ”

Boss Yang was the small bag foreman, and the little carpenter asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Brother Luo, who gets along well with the little carpenter on weekdays, came over and said that your cat had a big accident, and you must carry the pot, and now a few leaders have been criticized, and they are in a bad mood, and they will blow up at one point, when you pass, lower your head and pay some good words......

The little carpenter didn't think it was serious, and he was so confident in his craft that he didn't think anything would happen to him from above.

So he didn't think much about it, and went directly to find the contractor.

The foreman and the chief supervisor Zhang Shuiyu were together, and when he looked for him, the foreman didn't give him a good look, or even say much, but told him directly: "You go to the account office to settle the wages in a while, and then pack up your things and leave here." ”

When the little carpenter heard this, he was stunned for a moment, what do you mean?

The foreman was still good with the little carpenter just now, but now he straightened his face and said, "Don't blame me, this is what the big boss meant." ”

The master overseer was not in a good mood, but he had received a lot of help from the little carpenter these days, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, pulled the little carpenter aside, and said in a low voice: "Brother Gan, this matter is original, I have to trouble you, take your salary, pay for the medical expenses of the foreign master, and the loss of the construction site, and then I will talk about it, so I will fight for you back - you go quickly, if Boss Yang turns around and regrets it, there will be a lot of trouble......

One of the two sang white-faced and the other red-faced, and the little carpenter couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it.

But now that things are like this, it's not appropriate for him to stay any longer, he has skills, and others have paid for it, which is considered kind, so he didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

The little carpenter packed up his tools and walked back with the wooden box on his back, and Boss Yang, the foreman of the contractor, and Zhang Shuiyu, the chief overseer, looked at his departing back, with mixed emotions.

This young man's craftsmanship is good, and if he can stay on the construction site, it will definitely be of great benefit to the project.

It's a pity that the big boss is very unhappy, and someone has to take the blame.

The little carpenter walked back, and the tiger skin fat cat also followed, walking behind him, seeing this guy's lazy appearance, the little carpenter couldn't help but scold: "Look at the good things you have done, run away, and make trouble, and scratch the foreign devil, making me lose my life (the meaning of 'work' in southwest dialect)......"

The fat cat didn't care, and meowed, actually showing a little pride.

Although he lost his job, the little carpenter was not in a hurry, he returned to the rented house, put down the wooden box containing the carpenter's tools, and went out with the fat cat.

The place where he lives is a newly built private house, the house compartment is very small, piece by piece, specially rented to those who come to Chongqing to live, downstairs, walked thirty or forty meters, is a lively block, all kinds of shops, small stalls gathered.

At this time, it was lunchtime, and many coolies from Chaotianmen Wharf came here to buy food, such as cakes, steamed buns, sweet potatoes and rice, hot soup porridge stalls, etc., which were crowded with people.

The most lively thing is the nine-grid stall, the little carpenter walked several times in a row, until the end, he found a vacant seat.

Someone asked, what is a nine-grid stall?

It is also very interesting to say, the cause of this business is a place in Chaotianmen, which was originally a place where the Hui slaughtered livestock, after the Hui slaughtered the cow, as long as its meat, bones, and skin, but the internal organs of the cow were discarded, the sailors and slender men on the shore picked it up, washed it and poured it into the pot, added chili, pepper, ginger, garlic, salt and other spicy things, boiled and eaten, one to fill the stomach, and the other to drive away cold and dampness.

Later, more people ate it, and the practice spread, and these went into the water to ask for money.

After the shrewd hawker buys the buffalo tripe, washes and boils it, then cuts the liver and belly into small pieces, puts a tandoor on the head of the bucket, and puts a large iron basin on the stove, which is turned over and fried and rolled with a numb, spicy and salty marinade.

A group of laborers at the head of the riverside bridge surrounded the burden and were used. Everyone thinks that they eat a lot of money and eat a certain amount of money, which is not only economical, but also can increase calories......

Speaking of which, some friends may understand.

Hey, isn't this Nima just hot pot?

That's right, this is the predecessor of the famous Yucheng hot pot, and this kind of food comes from the bottom.

The little carpenter is very fond of this nine-grid stall, and the hot water does not cost a few big children, but it brings a strong stimulation to his palate.

He even asked for a bowl of bad wine, which he couldn't finish drinking, and gave the tiger skin fat cat a little bit.

After eating a hot and spicy lunch, he also put aside the matter of losing his life, and paced back.

Back in the room, he opened the bottom layer of the wooden box, ready to take out the Luban book and look at the upper part.

For more than two months, he read the middle and lower parts of Lu Ban's book and the return of ten thousand laws, read it carefully, and pondered it clearly, as for the upper part, because he didn't like it, he didn't look at it much.

However, Luban's inheritance is something to see after all.

But he never thought that as soon as the box was opened, the little carpenter found that the books inside were gone.
