In the afternoon, I went to the flea market to look for the scumbag, and it still took a lot of effort to find him.

The weather was hot and sultry, so Brother Scumbag put a bucket next to the stall, got a towel, dipped it in the bucket, twisted it a few times, put it on his neck, and wiped the sweat on his face from time to time.

When he saw me coming to him, he rebuked, "If you go home tomorrow and don't go back to get ready, what are you doing here?" ”

I smiled and said, "I want to come over and spend a little more time with you." ”

"Nothing serious, did you book a ticket?"

"Well, tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, just after breakfast, I'll leave."

At this time, a couple walked over, probably about twenty-one or twelve years old, and they stood in front of Brother Scum's stall, carefully choosing short sleeves.

Seeing this, Brother Scumbag hurriedly said: "This is this year's Korean version of the shirt, especially suitable for you to wear, you see that the people wearing this style of clothes on the street are all young and good-looking children like you." ”

I looked at the scumbag brother dumbfounded, he usually talked to me and his mouth was never so sweet.

The young couple took a fancy to a white short-sleeved shirt with a string of black letters printed on it, and the boy picked it up and tried it in front of him, then looked at the girl, as if asking for advice.

The girl touched the fabric of the dress and asked the scumbag, "How much does this dress cost?" ”

Seeing that the price had been inquired, the scumbag brother threw the towel around his neck into the bucket, and said with a red face: "Girl, the purchase price of this dress is 80 yuan, I see that your boyfriend likes it very much, so I will give it to you according to the purchase price." ”

I took a quick look, and in my eyes, the dress was worth thirty or forty yuan, and the scumbag brother was quite able to sit on the ground and raise the price.

The girl frowned after hearing this, and muttered, "There is a store over there that is only 50 yuan, the same as this style, why are you 30 more expensive than others."

I shifted my gaze to the face of the scumbag brother again, who knew that this product was not red and said without a heartbeat: "Girl, that's different, there is a difference between fabric and fabric, the reason why I sell it is more expensive than other people's is because my purchase price is also high." ”

After hearing this, the boy looked at the girl at a loss, like a portable doll with no opinion at all.

After hearing this, the girl rubbed the short sleeves again, and after thinking for a while, she looked at the scumbag brother with moist eyes and said, "50 yuan, if you sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll go to someone else's house to have a look." ”

Brother Scumbag is still still sitting still, his deep eyes are full of the four big words of no treachery and no business, he sighed, showing a very helpless and loss-making expression, he looked at the girl and said: "Hey, since you two like this short-sleeved so much, it doesn't matter if you lose points, fifty yuan, take it." ”

Brother Scumbag took out a clothing bag from under the stall and handed it to the little girl, and I could clearly see a trace of smug and smirk in his expression.

This made me sigh for a while, and after the little couple finished settling the account and left, I asked Brother Scumbag: "Brother Scum, is that short sleeve just now not worth 50 yuan at all?" ”

Brother Scumbag lit a cigarette, pulled the towel out of the bucket, twisted it a few times, wiped his face, and put it on his shoulder, much like the shopkeeper who greeted customers in an ancient restaurant.

He looked at me with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "I can still earn 35 for 50, and you say that this trade is not very violent." ”

I was even more embarrassed when I heard this, and looked at him in surprise and said, "That is to say, you came here for 15 yuan for this short sleeve?" ”

Brother Scum said disapprerovingly: "Yes, what's wrong? ”

"Then why did you tell people that the purchase price was 80 yuan?"

Brother scumbag stared at me and said contemptuously: "Are you having a bad brain, don't talk about where the bargaining space comes from, don't raise the purchase price, where does the profit come from?" ”

I know very well that my money-making mind is not as good as that of a scumbag, and his thinking is very suitable for doing business.

The two of us smoked a cigarette, and I asked Brother Scumbag again: "Brother Scum, you see that the clothing market is so good now, why don't you rent a storefront, and setting up a stall like this is not a long-term solution." ”

After hearing this, Brother Scumbag sighed: "I am very content, this industry is very profitable in this city, but no matter what it is, there is a day when it is saturated and unsalable, I just come here to earn enough living expenses and pensions, I don't want to worry too much about other things, if I take the liberty of renting a store, maybe when the clothing market shrinks, then the crisis will be big, I fight guerrilla like this, join quickly, withdraw quickly, and I can't lose money, although the profit is smaller, but it will not lose all my money." ”

I listened to the scum brother said a lot of small business truth, I was deeply touched, he said this, I never thought about it, I want to find a stable job, 9 to 5, two o'clock line, then I will feel very satisfied, it may have a lot to do with the family environment, from childhood to adulthood, my parents are instilling in me the teaching of studying hard and going to work hard, the inherent traditional thinking occupies my ideals and goals, making it difficult for me to take a step, like the scumbag brother has courage and courage.

When Brother Scumbag saw me looking thoughtful, he asked me, "Are you homesick?" I'll go back tomorrow, still sentimental here. ”

I was a little ashamed and said, "Brother scum, when I come back after watching Xinyan, I'll set up a stall with you." ”

After hearing this, Brother Scumbag sorted out the clothes on the paving and said, "You choose for yourself, I didn't force you to do it with me." ”

I hurriedly said: "I think about it, I find that I am a person who does not listen to discipline, every time I go to work, I will cause some trouble, if I do it myself, I may be more relaxed, and I can also exercise my mind." ”

Brother Scumbag turned his head to look at me, with an expression of looking forward to Jackie Chan, he said lightly: "Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, there are benefits to going to work, don't those who have the ability also get a high annual salary, and it is much harder to do their own business, but the time is free, no one restricts it, which is what many young people like." ”

I sat with Brother Scumbag for an afternoon, and when the sky was dark, Brother Slag said, "Let's not go back to cook tonight." ”

I helped the scumbag clean up the stall and asked, "Are you going out to eat?" ”

"Well, it's for you to practice."

I asked curiously, "Where to eat?" ”

Brother Scumbag emptied the water in the bucket, threw the towel in and said, "Just come with me." ”

I followed behind the scumbag, I walked into a small alley for unknown reasons, there are high walls on both sides, there are many vines climbing up the wall, because the rain in this place is sufficient, the climate is sultry, walking into this alley, it is like coming to the canyon of the sky, the wall is damp, there are a lot of water droplets dripping down on the eaves, on the uneven ground, there are many clear puddles, many tenacious plants take root and sprout at the bottom of the wall, growing unscrupulously, very Liu Yuxi in the "Burrow Ming" depicted: moss marks on the green steps, The grass color is blue in the curtain.

Walking out of the narrow alley, it suddenly opened up, and in front of it were rows of neat houses, with white walls and black tiles, and bright lights.

The houses are distinctive restaurants, each with two large banyan trees at the door, and two large red lanterns hanging under the signboard of the store, giving people the feeling of coming to Tao Yuanming's Taoyuan Village.

I walked into a shop with Brother Scum, the aroma of wine, meat and rice came to my face, and there were a few diners sitting in the store, they raised their glasses and drank without scruples, as if they were really away from the hustle and bustle of the red dust and entered the peach blossom garden.

The decoration of the store is antique, and there is a large oil painting hanging behind the bar, which is a long-term sea map, only to see that in the painting, auspicious clouds, blue waves, vast sea and sky, ethereal.

The private room is very large, it is covered by a screen, and after Brother Scumbag and I took our seats, a waiter dressed as an ancient woman greeted us, and she smiled and said, "Do you want to listen to music?" ”

I was a little surprised when I heard this, and looked at the scumbag brother with a confused expression.

Brother Scumbag said heartily: "Okay, listen to a paragraph, and the food will be served together." ”

When the waiter heard this, he turned and left.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Brother Scumbag said, "The dishes in this shop are all fixed, so you don't need to order food." ”

Suddenly, the wind outside the store was raging, blowing the doors and windows rattling, and after a gust of wind, a light rain began to fall.

After a while, a sweet and lovely, tactful girl walked into the box, she was also wearing an ancient woman's dress, a pale green dress, white cherry blossom cloth shoes, a hair scattered on her shoulders, she was holding a pipa, beautiful eyes, brocade robes, and generous.

She sat in a corner of the box, adjusting the lute, and the waiter brought four dishes of wine and food and placed them between the tables.

There are beef in sauce, stir-fried lotus root, braised green bamboo shoots in oil and Taihu sweet and sour koi, a delicate porcelain pot with bamboo leaves written on it, and two wine cups on the table.

Seeing that the dishes were ready, the pipa girl asked softly, "Excuse me, can you play?" ”

Brother Scumbag looked at her and nodded, and helped me fill the wine cup.

After playing a "Plugged Song", it seemed to bring me back to my hometown, the light tone blended into the bleak wind and rain outside the window, exciting, my heart could not be calmed for a long time, all my thoughts were lost in this vast world by this faint aroma of wine and melodious tune.

I drank a lot with Brother Scum that night, but I didn't get drunk to lose my temper, I was very happy, I could meet someone in this city who cared about me like Brother Scum, so that I wouldn't fall into depression and go into the dark.

The next morning, Brother Scumbag woke me up, I glanced at my phone, it was already six o'clock, I got up busily, washed up briefly, Brother Scumbag had already prepared breakfast, four eggs, a bowl of porridge, two bean paste bags, and a bag of mustard.

Brother Zag instructed me again: "When you get to the train, you must collect your ID card and ticket, and call me when you get home." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "I know the scumbag, can I still get lost when I'm such an adult." ”

After eating in the morning and evening, I carried my luggage, walked out of the courtyard with my scumbag, came to the street and took a taxi, and drove to the train station.

Twenty minutes later, Brother Slag and I walked into the ticket hall to get tickets, I looked at the time again, and at 6:40, I said to Brother Scum: "I have to go, Brother Scum, you drink less alcohol at home these days." ”

Brother Scumbag smiled and said, "Stinky boy, I know that I care about people, roll it, be careful on the road." ”

The waiting room was full of people and noisy, and the crisp and wonderful broadcast sound sounded, urging passengers to hurry up and check in their tickets.

Carrying my luggage, my ticket and my ID card, I slowly walked to the ticket gate with the flow of people, and everyone was anxious, afraid that they would not be able to see their nearest and dearest people, or that they would not be able to catch the train home.

I was a lot more relaxed, after all, I was going to meet my good friend again, and there was still a little excitement in my heart.
