Chapter 36: North of the City
The three of them got up early today, and Xu Ce did not hold the book lent to him by the boss in his hand, but sat in the corner of the lobby and watched the people appear outside the window one after another.
Tomorrow is the time to release the list, and it is false to say that you are not nervous, but the result is there, even if you are worried, it is a little superfluous.
After all, he did his best.
As soon as Gu Ziyuan came out of the room, Bai Rong also opened the door, and today she was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, with a little powder, clear eyes, and a smile with crooked eyebrows and eyes, quite a charming posture.
Gu Ziyuan, who looked at her, only felt that his heart moved, and the corners of his mouth were dyed with a smile.
"You wake up early, why don't you sleep more?" When Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong came back yesterday, it was already very late, and when they washed up and went to sleep, the lanterns on the side of the street had been extinguished one after another, and it had been a long time since even the watchmen were beaten.
If you look closely, there are shallow dark circles on the faces of the two people.
"Today, for some reason, I'm not sleepy." Bai Rong thought in his heart, when I was writing my dissertation, I only slept four hours a week, and I was busy with opening a store these days, and I could sleep one night, compared with my dissertation, what is this?
Many students haven't gotten up yet, two people went downstairs softly, the restaurant was not busy in the morning, only a few sporadic guests, and at a glance, they saw Xu Ce Yi hiding in the corner.
"Brother Xu also got up early today." Gu Ziyuan naturally sat on the stool next to Xu Ceyi and said lightly.
Xiao Er smiled at Bai Rong, Bai Rong smiled back, then sat opposite them, and said softly: "I don't know if Brother Xu has eaten?" ”
Xu Ce, who was looking out the window, shook his head and said crampedly, "I'm not hungry yet." ”
Bai Rong, who knew it, smiled at this time and said, "I have one thing to thank you." ”
Xu Ce also looked at Bai Rong puzzled, and immediately thought of yesterday's list, as if he really didn't have anything to make Bai Rong thank him except for this matter.
He guessed correctly, Bai Rong thanked him precisely because of this matter.
Bai Rong took out the paper of the list and said gratefully: "If it weren't for this, we would be clueless like headless flies, we have looked at the shops yesterday, some are good, some are deserted, they have already been analyzed, and the location of the store has been determined, and the silver has been paid." ”
Gu Ziyuan ordered Xiao Er to come over and asked for three bowls of porridge and a piece of oil cake, he knew that Xu Ce was still a little embarrassed, so he ordered it for him without permission.
"You're welcome, just do your best to help."
While waiting for the meal to come, Xu Ce also looked at the scenery outside the window, the girl in the goose yellow robe looked at the list, which was densely packed with graduate school records, and the young man in the wind in Yushu was fanning leisurely.
"There's no way the three of us can open a store now." Although Bai Rong is in a hurry to open a store more than anyone else, some things cannot be avoided.
Xiao Er had already come over with the dishes, and Bai Rong thanked him.
"So what are we going to do now?" Xu Ce also drank a cup of tea and asked.
Naturally, he knew that it was impossible to open a store with only three people.
Gu Ziyuan didn't touch the food on the table, holding a folding fan in his hand, which had a suave taste.
His gestures reveal an elegance, which is a temperament that ordinary people don't have, although Xu Ce is curious, but he didn't ask anything, after all, everyone has their own secrets, right?
Why do you say it and make it difficult for each other, in this kind of thing, it's better to wait for others to say it themselves.
"We now not only want to think about how to open a store, but also think about how to maximize the benefits, in fact, the most important thing is that if we open a store, we will go to the academy, and Bai Rong will not be busy alone." Gu Ziyuan was lazily eating rice porridge.
Today they want light, a bowl of porridge and a bowl of genuine mung bean soup with only clear soup.
Xu Ce also let out an "oh", as if he had just thought of this.
"Yes, you have to go to the academy, and I can't be busy by myself." Bai Rong drank mung bean soup, but did not move the oil cake.
Gu Ziyuan is not worried about Bai Rong opening a store, not that he can't trust Bai Rong's ability, but more because he is worried about a woman, if he encounters a guest who is messing around...
He secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve and let it go.
However, nothing will happen in Fucheng, and the atmosphere in this city is still good.
"As for me, firstly, I have to cook a lot of food, and secondly, my dishes are different from other dishes." Bai Rong ate pickles.
I was very anxious in my heart, after all, the opening of the store could not be delayed any longer, and if it did not open for a day, it would lose a day's money.
She has always been most interested in making money, and who wouldn't want to see the fruits of their labor?
"So I need some trustworthy hands on the food." Bai Rong was about to say it, and then looked at Xu Ceyi.
In fact, she wanted to ask Xu Ce if there was a good candidate, after all, he was far more familiar with this city than the two of them.
"Yes, if some people with bad intentions come, then our store is like burying a regular bomb and bomb. However, there are almost very few trustworthy people here. Gu Ziyuan took a sip of tea and looked at Xu Ceyi, who was eating.
"I don't know if Brother Xu has a suitable candidate?" Gu Ziyuan had already finished eating, and his eyes were staring at Xu Ce Yi nonchalantly.
Xu Ce also seemed to feel the gaze of the two people, swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "If you are looking for someone, I will do it, after all, in the north of the city, there are some homeless people." ”
His words made Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan frown slightly, very incomprehensible, some homeless people?
"Brother Xu means the poor kiln?" Gu Ziyuan thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a slum, it's a group of homeless people who can't live in the city anymore and go to the north of the city." Xu Ce also felt slightly melancholy when he thought of it.
"It's not a slum there, some people have unlimited scenery for a while, but they end up with a broken family, and some of them have scattered their wealth and survived, and some of them have characters who once had heads and faces." Xu Ce also said this, and he was not in the mood to eat.
It turns out that people who are in the limelight for a while will also go to the north of the city to live, which is really a creation and a trick, and the destiny of heaven is unknowable.
Bai Rong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Gu Ziyuan remembered his own life experience for a while, and he almost sighed for himself, presumably those people, his life was already good.
"Of course, there are some little girls in the countryside, all of whom have the dream of making money, or rather, they are all making money for their own lives, most of them are not very old, and some are only eleven or twelve years old." Xu Ce also spoke, feeling even more sad in his heart.
"There are even some orphans." Xu Ce also looked sad.
What he didn't say was that there were some simple-hearted children who were deceived by some ill-intentioned people and sold into the Qinglou, and they have nothing to do with them since then.
Gu Ziyuan felt that this person had some tenderness, which could be said to be kind, and they all knew that the word "life" was full of helpless sighs.
