I was also a little curious, and asked one more question: "Sixth uncle, you say, where did she get all this news?" ”

Practical smiled: "She used to be from Jiufeng Mountain Gate, but she was expelled from the division because her mouth was too broken, maybe there was nowhere else to go, so she came to Bohai Bay alone." You must have heard about Jiufeng Mountain, right? ”

I nodded.

Jiufeng Mountain, this place, I often hear Yu Liyan and Yan Yanan mention it, it is said that this sect is relying on the sale of gossip to make a living, most of the disciples in the sect have their own sources.

Before, I said practically, the words that the long-tongued woman said were true, and I didn't believe it at the time, but if the other party was really an outcast of Jiufeng Mountain, all kinds of news that came out of her mouth should be serious dry goods, without any moisture at all.

At this time, Practical said to me: "I guess in a few days, we will be able to hear something interesting." ”

I frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Practical only smiled meaningfully, but did not answer.

The more he didn't say much, the more it piqued my curiosity.

In the next few days, every day before the sky began to dawn, I followed the practical to the vegetable market to buy, and when I arrived in his shop, I kept kneading the dough and adjusting the filling, and from time to time I would go to the Fulin Roast Duck Shop to take care of the business, and by the way, I would see if the fox demon who claimed to be surnamed Chi had not come recently.

I didn't have much contact with him, but I could see that he was a sincere man, and his hands and feet were quick enough to work, and the owner liked him very much, saying that if we couldn't find another way to make a living, we could continue to work in the store.

Because I often stay in the roast duck restaurant recently, I am also familiar with the owner of this shop, his surname is Wan, the name is not carefully inquired, only know that he is over 70 years old this year, acquaintances in the compound usually call him Lao Wan or Boss Wan, I saw him, it was to call "Uncle Wan".

The reason why he can get acquainted with each other is because he and I have the same habit, that is, smoking the same brand of cigarettes, plus he is very knowledgeable about tobacco, and he often leaks some tobacco-related knowledge to me.

In addition to experiencing these scattered chores every day, on the way to the vegetable market to buy goods, I would also stop in front of the intersection to listen to what new news the long-tongued woman had recently gotten.

What she says every day is nothing more than that the east family is short and the west family is short, either the elder of that sect is having an extramarital affair behind his wife's back, or whose illegitimate son is running to the door to compete for property and status.

It was interesting to hear about this kind of thing once in a while, but the more I heard it, the more calloused my ears became, and gradually, I became interested in what I said to the long-tongued woman.

I remember that I lived in the rental house until the sixth day, early in the morning, I called Yanan, briefly talked about the recent situation of the thrift store, and heard her say that the next day I returned to Bohai, Zhang Dayou took the baby to the store, and it was Li Huaishan who received him, and the two chatted for less than five minutes, and the business was finalized.

Now that Zhang Dayou has put the two treasures in the store has been sold, and Yan Yanan has collected all the money from last year, in this way, not only has the deficit in the accounts been eliminated, but there is also some surplus.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Zhang Dayou's two treasures can be shot so quickly is because of the contribution of Tong Yunyi, listening to the meaning of Yan Yanan, although Yu Yunyi is not very reliable on weekdays, but in business, he is a rare good hand.

In addition, Yan Yanan also revealed that Yan Ru has been looking for trouble in the store recently, but because I have been absent, he is not good at doing things too much, because he doesn't want to offend Yun Yi.

As for why Yan Ru was reluctant to provoke Qi Yunyi, I didn't ask much, and Yan Yanan didn't say much, and after simply reporting to me, he hung up the phone.

After answering this phone call, I realized that when I first recommended Yun Yi to help in the thrift store, there should have been deep considerations.

But I can't figure it out, even Yu Yanan, an old oilman who has been around at home all the year round, didn't know that Yu Yunyi could still do business, and he could only be regarded as half an outsider's utility in the family, how did he know about it.

As soon as I put away the phone, Practical walked out of the bathroom and beckoned to me: "Pack up and get ready to go out." ”

Yan Yanan is also a person with irregular work and rest, it is not yet five o'clock, I and I got up early, in order to catch the morning market, she called me so early, it is estimated that I didn't sleep all night.

After that, I didn't delay, quickly cleaned myself, and went out with the practical use.

When we came to the crossroads, the long-tongued woman was not there, only a few scattered passers-by were gathering under an old banyan tree, as if waiting for the long-tongued woman to come and tell a story.

Practical glanced at the intersection, smacked his lips, and said, "Looks like we can hear something interesting today." ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly to the curb of the road, and waited silently for the long-tongued woman to appear with a few passers-by present.

I looked at my watch and said to Shiji, "I guess I won't be able to catch up with the morning market sooner or later." ”

Practical waved his hand at me: "If you can't catch up, you can't catch up, the ingredients I bought a few days ago haven't been used up yet, and it's enough for today." Hey, here we are. ”

While she was talking, the long-tongued woman appeared at the intersection and hurried towards it.

When the people present saw him, they were all excited, and when I saw their appearance, I was a little puzzled, so I asked Shipra: "Do these people gather here every day to listen to jokes?" ”

Practical nodded: "Don't treat them as ordinary passers-by on the spot, these guys are all nearby news traffickers." ”

With that, he patted me on the shoulder and raised his chin to the long-tongued woman.

I followed his line of sight, and saw that the long-tongued woman was wearing a very regular work uniform today, and she was carrying a small bag in the crook of her arm.

Hey, no, when she appeared at the intersection just now, she was still dressed in casual clothes, why did she change all her outfits in the blink of an eye?

I saw her walk quickly to the bottom of the tree, take out a stack of printer paper from her briefcase, read it carefully, and read it carefully twice before she spoke.

In the past, when I heard her talk about the short life of the parents, the wording of her speech was completely the routine of the joker, and it was not a formal shape at all, but as soon as she opened her mouth today, I felt that something was a little wrong, and the way she spoke was like a radio announcer, the words were correct and round, and the wording was also very formal.

Today the long-tongued woman brought two pieces of news.

One of them is that the fox demon suppressed under Chiyun Peak came out of the mountain without permission a week ago, and it is said that he came to Bohai Bay, and now Burning Dust has come down the mountain to find it.

Another piece of news is that last night, a foreigner who worked in the compound of the grain bureau was robbed, but this robbery was really strange, there was no shortage of money, but his clothes were stripped of himself, and the robber even stuffed him with a leather bag, which contained a lot of cash, saying that it was given to him for the passage fee, so that he should leave Bohai as soon as possible and not come back in the near future.

The two pieces of news are mixed together, and you only need to think about it for a moment to know what is going on.

The stranger who was robbed in the middle of the night must be a short-term worker in Uncle Wang's family, and the person who robbed him was, of course, Mr. Chi.

However, I and I could guess the mystery of these words, but the other people present were all confused, and asked the long-tongued woman what the two things she said were related.

The long-tongued woman didn't answer, but quickly put away her purse, turned and left.

Before her back could disappear at the intersection, a sturdy man in his forties walked out of the crowd, and the rest immediately took out cash and handed it to him.

Why did you suddenly put away the money, and what was going on?

I was wondering, so I pulled my sleeve and motioned for me to leave with him.

The man saw his movements, and immediately took two arrow steps and quickly arrived in front of us.

Practical Chong smiled at the man, and said casually: "Business is good." ”

The man probably smiled back out of politeness, then looked at me again and asked, "This is ......?"

Practical immediately introduced to him: "If you are not, the second master's apprentice." ”

When the man looked at me before, his eyes could only be said to be polite, not particularly friendly, but now when he heard Shishi say this, he rushed over and shook my hand with a smile: "It turned out to be the second master's apprentice, I have been looking up for a long time, hehe, in the future, our business will depend on you to take care of it more." ”

I returned a smile and responded with a smile.

At this time, Practical pulled me again: "Let's go." If you go a little faster, you should be able to catch the morning market. ”

The man nodded modestly towards Practical, let go of my hand, and I didn't delay any longer, and immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the parking lot.

When I was some distance away from the intersection, Practical said to me: "Don't think that the long-tongued woman lies at the intersection all day long, just to say something that is not in decline, and to bring some fun to everyone." Every word she says is business, and anyone who stands under the old locust tree and listens to her will have to give an extra amount of money if they listen to one more word. The man just now is the one who is responsible for collecting money. If you don't want to pay, it's okay, just stay away from the tree, but it's far away, and there are some hidden words, but you can't hear it. ”

I said, "If we all have to pay, why don't we both have to pay a penny?" ”

Practical smiled: "Bohai Bay is the territory of the old family, they do business here, it would be good if the family didn't take their rent, how dare they put their hands into the money pocket of the family?" ”

I thought about it, nodded, and after a while, I asked Shipra: "Who is Burning Dust?" ”

Practical frowned slightly, and asked me rhetorically: "You have been in the industry for so long, haven't you heard of the name of the Scorching Immortal?" ”
