Chapter Seventy-Three: The Stranger
At this time, the old lady appeared in front of her...
Li Guyu was startled because she was busy with her affairs and didn't see the old lady coming.
"Stop cooking in the room and stain the walls! The kitchen is there. The old lady covered her nose with one hand, pointed to a house at the corner of the courtyard with the other, and said to Li Guyu.
"Old man, you are as old as my grandmother, I will call you grandma in the future! I'm going to move everything over. Li Guyu likes to deal with the old man very much, and she feels that the old man in front of her is very amiable. I unconsciously wanted to get together with her.
"Humph! You little girl, you seem to be quite scheming, don't think about it, I can let you pay less for the room, and the room fee can't be less! This old man is very venomous, and she said that Li Guyu was a little embarrassed.
"Hmm... Grandma, you misunderstood me, I don't want to pay less for the room, I will definitely give you a lot of money. Li Guyu was a little helpless, she didn't expect that the old man who looked so kind on the surface would be so calculating and so guarded.
"It was better to do so!" After saying this, the old lady shook her hand, turned around and went back to her room.
Li Guyu sighed a little helplessly. She moved all the kitchen utensils into the kitchen. This makes the already small kitchen even more crowded. 'Well, that's fine, if I'm making preserved fruit in the kitchen, then the rest of the compartment can be used to store things, and I don't have to be so crowded.' Li Guyu thought to himself.
Soon she had everything in order, brushed the pot and started cooking.
'Shall I send a copy to my grandmother?' She doesn't seem to be as easy to get along with as she seems, but it may be that she lives alone, so she is not good at dealing with people! Okay, then I'll send one over, it's just an extra bowl of rice anyway. Li Guyu made the dish and thought so when he invited the dinner. So she came out with an extra plate and an extra meal.
"Grandma, I'm ready, do you want to eat some together!" Li Guyu very consciously opened the curtain and was about to enter the old lady's room.
"Get out, who let you in, no tutor thing!" The old lady was very angry, and one of Li Guyu's feet that had just entered was hit by the old lady with a stool.
At this time, Li Li Guyu's center of gravity was unstable, and the dishes in his hands were also tilted, and a little bit of water from the hot dishes on it flowed into Li Guyu's hands.
After all, it was a freshly cooked meal, and the temperature was definitely not low, but Li Guyu didn't take care of her hands and feet at this time. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry grandma, I'll pay attention next time!" Li Guyu staggered, ignoring her scalded hands, and put the food on the stone mill outside the house. Apologizing along the way, she ran back to her room.
'Si, it hurts! This grandma seems to be really difficult to get along with, so I should not provoke her in the future! After Li Guyu returned to the room, she took off her shoes and took off her shoes to take a closer look, and she found that this foot was unfortunate and swollen again.
Li Guyu stroked her injured foot with her hand. At this time, it was found that her hands were also in unbearable pain. Li Guyu took advantage of the moonlight outside the house to find that her hands had been scalded with a few big blisters.
Li Guyu endured the pain, rummaged through the cabinets to find the needle and thread, and then threaded the thread into the needlehole with a trembling hand. She was ruthless and poked the blisters with a needle. Leave the thread in the bubble and cut it with scissors. This is the quickest way to dispose of blisters, as most of them are filled with pus. If you don't use threads to drain the pus out, this bag may take a long time. After Li Guyu experienced this incident, he was not in the mood to eat. Directly lying on the bed very tired.
Fall asleep with the bright moonlight.
"Hey, the buns are coming, the buns are delicious, the buns are filled with thin skin."
"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd"
"Fritters and soy milk, come and take a look,,,,,"
Li Guyu started a new day in such a noisy sound.
'It's really bustling on this street, how can I attract people to buy here?' And I can't make my business too big, otherwise I can't afford to entertain myself here if I don't attract enemies like before. Li Guyu pushed open the door at the back, and facing her was the bustling street.
"Let's go find someone to write a plaque first, you have to be a little oily to sell something!" Li Guyu thought like this, so she went out of the back door and locked it from the outside.
She walked aimlessly through the streets for a while, only to realize that this was not going to work, and that she could not finish most of the streets of the town on her own.
"Auntie, let me ask if we have any writing here?" After Li Guyu found out that her own method was wrong, she immediately changed her mind and asked passers-by for directions.
"Writing? Are you going to buy words or do you want to make plaques? "This aunt seems to be very enthusiastic.
"I'm looking for someone to write two nice words! Where are the scholars who write? Li Guyu was reluctant to tell anyone about her before it was decided, so she didn't answer the aunt's question.
"You follow this road all the way to the front, go east and west streets of the royal road, and then walk straight for two or three miles almost to see a plaque, there is a person there who will help someone write letters or something, you go and ask him, see if he is willing to write you two beautiful words!"
"Thank you, auntie" Li Guyu nodded lightly to this passer-by to express his gratitude.
So she followed the path that the aunt had shown her. 'I think this is it, 'Bamboo'? Doesn't the name look like a place to help people write letters? What does his name mean? Oops, forget it, go in and ask! Li Guyu thought so and entered the gate.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a black board, on which there was a person, who seemed to be sleeping, and seemed to faint here, "Hello this gentleman, I want to find someone to help me write two words." Li Guyu walked forward timidly.
After she said this, the person lying on the board still didn't move, so Li Guyu took two steps forward with courage. At this time, the person on the board suddenly raised his head, which frightened Li Guyu and took two steps back one after another. Squatting on the ground, "Oops." ”
"Is there something wrong?" When the man saw that Li Guyu was frightened by him and fell to the ground, he didn't care at all, but came up and asked Li Guyu coldly why he came here.
"Oh, me, I'd like to come here and find someone to help me write two words, I can make the name of the store!" Li Guyu cleaned up his body, and there was no big problem, so he stood up from the ground.
"I don't write here, you're in the wrong place!" The man said coldly, as if he and Li Guoyu were not from the same world at all. He seems to have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, and when he looks at people, he doesn't look like he looks at a living thing, but like he looks at an object, an emotionless object.
"Oh well, sorry to bother!" Li Guyu turned around and ran out as he spoke.
"Wait! What do you want to write first? Li Guyu was very surprised when he heard the person behind him say this, because he had already rejected her just now, but Li Guyu still stopped and turned around.
And at this time, that person changed his face and looked at Li Guyu with a smile, as if the person who said coldly to Li Guyu just now that he couldn't write was not him.
"Well, just write about Lee's Snack Bar! Don't worry, I'll give you the money. Li Guyu thought that this person was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to pay for it at first, so he didn't want to write it, so this time he heard this person say that he wanted to help write it, so he quickly accepted it, and said that he would pay him.
"Money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't take it in death, how dare you take a penny if you just write two words!" At this time, he seemed to have changed his face again, and the speed of the change of face made Li Guyu amazed. The current person is like the kind of scholar in ancient times, who is high and proud.
"What's your name, gentleman?" Li Gui asked with some curiosity.
"The name of the little student is Xu Tingfeng, and the weak scholar is not worth mentioning, and he still asks the girl's name?" At this time, Xu Tingfeng was grinding along the way, one hand teasing the hem of the clothes that did not exist in the other.
"My name is Li Guyu." Li Guyu reported her own name.
"Gu Yu is like silk and dust, and the floating wax in the boiled bottle is trying something new, good name, good name!" Xu Tingfeng had already ground it, and on the rice paper, he wrote the name of Li Guyu's shop with a wave of his hand.
"Alright, come and have a look!" After Xu Tingfeng finished writing, he beckoned Li Guyu to observe his handwriting.
I saw Xu Tingfeng's handwriting, Kong Wu's powerful pen ended with strength, "It's worthy of being a reader, this time it's good-looking." Li Guyu picked up Xu Tingfeng's handwriting and carefully rubbed it.
When looking at Xu Tingfeng, I found that he fell asleep on the board again like Li Guyu did when he saw him.
It's strange for this man to go to bed so quickly, and he doesn't care that anyone else is still in his house. Hey, forget it, anyway, I'm here to ask for help, and I have to accommodate him in everything, but he really writes well, and he shouldn't be a very rich person like this. Thinking like this, Li Guyu took out two yuan from her pocket and pressed the wood with pressed paper on the board.
Then Li Guyu took the name of the store that had just been written and left this small shop.
After arriving home, Li Guyu did not post this one in a hurry, but returned to the house and carefully sorted out the remaining preserved fruits. Then she suddenly remembered that she had opened a shop but did not have anything to hold preserved fruits, because she now had a storefront, and it was impossible to put all the preserved fruits on the ground as she had done in the first stall. So she hurried out again to find the carpenter.
