Chapter 67: The Secret
Two days later, the Dalian stove finally burned dry and burned through. Jiang Jiang asked Sun Xiaobei and the dog to buy two firecrackers and light them in front of the stove, which was auspicious.
The sound of crackling firecrackers and the faint smell of gunpowder always make people feel peace and joy inexplicably.
The long-awaited Jiang Dabeard Lo Mei in Ling Tian City has finally reopened, three days is not a long time, but it is enough to make people feel long.
Early this morning, the entire coolie street was already full of people, all of whom had come to buy lo-mei.
Of course, the people of Coolie Street were happy, because Jiang Jiang had hinted in advance that they were going to set up a stall in front of the door and sell some small items such as fruit handkerchiefs.
Because the queue is too long, there are always people who can't help but be thirsty, and of course there are those who want to wipe their sweat, although the money is not much, but it is an income.
Even those old people who are not dexterous in their legs and feet have asked someone to buy some fruits such as pears in advance and put them in front of the door, so as to earn a fortune and have more work at hand.
In addition, there are some people with active brains, because they are close, they line up here in Jiang Jiang early, and after buying lo-mei, they can resell it to the people at the back of the line, you can add a few more dollars, if the buyer is a rich man, he doesn't mind.
If you don't like to spend more money, you can choose to line up slowly, anyway, there is lo-mei.
Jiang Jiang quietly called them scalpers in his heart, feeling that they were similar in nature to today's ticket sellers.
From early morning to noon, Jiang Jiang was really a little unable to hold on.
So he brought in two bowls of lo-mei, woke Lao Su up, and said to him: "Lao Su, get up and eat, today's business is exceptionally good, I invite you to a drink!" β
The liquor of the Great Qin Kingdom is all rice wine, and there is no distilled liquor, so the alcohol content is very low.
Jiang Jiang doesn't actually drink much, so she tries to drink as little as possible.
But today is different from Lao Su, he really helped himself a lot.
Besides, such a clever person, there are still many places where he will be used in the future, Jiang Jiang has always been like this, and he spares no effort to buy people's hearts.
"Oh, and it's great to be able to drink!" As soon as Lao Su heard that there was wine, he immediately came to his senses.
"Why didn't you say you like to drink earlier?" Jiang Jiang complained to him a little: "A few taels of wine, I still invited it." β
"Even if I have this meaning, I don't have this reason," Lao Su said: "Since as a beggar, it is already good for people to give food, how can you still beg for wine and drink?" β
"I'll tell you, don't see me like this in the future, the two of us don't have any identities, we make friends, can't beggars have friends? Good brothers should have more! Jiang Jiang said.
"What you say is reasonable," Lao Su nodded in approval: "Since you treat me as a friend, then don't say anything, I will never be polite to you in the future!" β
"Then let's make a decision," Jiang Jiang took over his words and said: "Friends should not engage in those false clichΓ©s, I will talk to you at any time if I have something in the future, and you are not polite at all!" β
"Hahaha, you're such an interesting person!" Lao Su said happily: "I really deserve this trip!" β
"Come on, let's marinate the wine!" Jiang Jiang said: "Don't get drunk! β
"Marinated wine, don't get drunk! What poetry, what poetry! Lao Su responded.
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
"That's great!" Sun Xiaobei looked at the angry Qiqi smoke outside: "I don't care about business in broad daylight, drink with this old beggar." Bearded Jiang, you really forgot who you are! β
But no one paid attention to what he said, Aunt Mu and they were all busy greeting guests.
Jiang Jiang and Lao Su were immersed in the deliciousness.
Although the degree of rice wine is not high, it is also drunk when you drink too much.
Jiang Jiang looked at Lao Su with drunken eyes and said: "Lao Su, with all due respect, you are very handsome, but this shape is not eye-catching enough, if you can trust me, how about I help you design a look?" You're satisfied. β
"How are you going to design me?" Lao Su's alcohol consumption is also average: "Since you and I are friends, then I will let you design it casually." β
"Well, then you see, I've been watching Milan fashion for more than ten years." Jiang Jiang stood up and walked crookedly to Aunt Mu's house to find a sewing basket.
"Hey, no, no, no one, I can't move this dress!" Lao Su guarded his sleeve and said, "Every piece of cloth on this has a history, you can't cut it for me!" β
And Jiang Jiang listened to him, sneered a few times, and tore his sleeves and hems into pieces.
"Hey, you pay for my clothes!" Lao Su lay on the ground and let go: "You tore my favorite piece, it was made up on my twentieth birthday!" β
"You shut your mouth first, I'm almost out of inspiration when I make a noise!" Jiang Jiang turned around and grabbed a handful of lo-mei and plugged Lao Su's mouth.
The drunken Jiang Jiang's movements became even more swift than usual, knotting all the rags that had been cut into thin strips and turning them into tassels. changed Lao Su's placket from a placket to a placket, and then added a hat.
"Stand up and see, do you look particularly good in this dress now?" Jiang Jiang said to Lao Su with a big tongue.
Lao Su stood up, raised his arm, and turned around: "It seems to be really like that!" β
"Of course, this is called bohemian," Jiang Jiang said proudly: "By the way, and your hairstyle, you squat down, I'll braid your head with dirty braids, it's cool and dazzling." β
Lao Su simply lay down, and Jiang Jiang began to braid his messy hair.
"Come on, take a look," Jiang Jiang said to Lao Su with a small mirror, "Isn't it absolute?" β
Lao Su held the small mirror, swayed left and right, finally met his face, and said in surprise: "This is what I have been wanting for so many years!" You're such a good friend of mine! β
"Lao Su, let me tell you, you have to trust me, tomorrow I will design a set of clothes for you, including pants, shoes, and a satchel!" Jiang Jiang took a round of hands, as if those things had already been made.
"Ah, that's good, then I'll make you a few gadgets, you can keep them for yourself, or give them away." Lao Su said that he would reciprocate with courtesies.
"Lao Su, let me tell you, your background must be extraordinary, I can see it, but if you don't want to say it, I will definitely not ask." After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, he smirked vigorously.
"Old Jiang, I also know a big secret of yours, if you don't want others to know, I will never say it." Lao Su also reciprocated.
Both of them finally became drunk, their eyes hazy, and their consciousness became more and more distracted.
In the end, he actually lay face to face.
A second before falling into a coma, Jiang Jiang muttered, "Old Su, you have a sea of stars in your eyes. β
Lao Su muttered: "Old Jiang, your beard is crooked." β
