Chapter 5: Glass Copy
"I'm just here to eat!"
He reached for the sack, and I moved it to the side.
I said, "It's noon, your business here is so cold, I don't think you can even do it for long." ”
Zhang Ming sighed, he glanced around: "It's not good, it's delicious, it's expensive." I'm also a handful of years old, and it's not a way to work for others all the time, I have to think of a way to make money, or ......"
I didn't have the heart to listen to him, because at this moment my eyes were attracted by a man who came in.
It was an old man, in his sixties, with gray hair and a straight body, who I had seen next to the dangerous building last night.
He walked straight to the place where he ordered, leaned over and said to the person on the other side of the computer: "A bowl of 2 taels of glass, packing, I'm sorry for you." ”
After ordering, he sat on a stool and waited quietly.
Zhang Mingming opened his five fingers and waved them in front of my eyes: "What are you looking at?" ”
I swallowed the dumplings in my mouth: "He's ......"
"He." Zhang Mingming glanced over there: "Every day at this time, he will come to buy a bowl of glass to copy his hands, rain or shine, and the thunder will not move." ”
Glass is a unique snack, the thin dough like a cicada's wings is wrapped in tender meat filling, and after cooking, it is drizzled with chicken broth, and the whole bowl of food is transparent and looks like glass.
"Uncle is a regular customer here, it is said that his sick wife likes to eat, so every day he takes a few stops of the bus to take it away. He didn't come for a while, and we all thought he wouldn't come, but now he's coming again. ”
I didn't feel anything about a dumpling.
The old man's glass hand over there was also packed, and he went out with the food, and I quickly followed.
There was a lot of people outside the snack bar, and there was a lot of traffic on the road, and I couldn't see the uncle anymore.
That afternoon, I stayed at the snack bar, where business was really deserted, Zhang Ming said that the boss wanted to transfer the shop, but now there is no one to take over.
I asked, "It's a good location, why didn't he do it?" ”
Zhang Mingming said disdainfully: "The asking price is too high, the transfer fee is 300,000 yuan, just such a small shop, it's like a lion's mouth." ”
I groaned.
It was almost six o'clock when I left.
After walking about five or six hundred meters after getting out of the subway, I came to the urban village that Gao Jian said. Sure enough, the buildings here have long been empty, and the houses are quietly displayed, which seems so out of place with the surrounding high-rise buildings.
The further I went, the more I felt a chill hit.
Looking at the ruins around me, it feels like a cemetery in the city.
Weeds were popping up from the cracks in the ground, and faintly, I could hear the hoarse chirping of birds from last night.
At the moment, I was in front of the small three-story building, and last night the light was not very good, and I could not see the burnt marks on the window, but now, it was so obvious.
Another gust of wind blew, and I shivered.
The door of the small building was a few meters away from me, and just as I was about to move forward, a figure walked one step ahead of me.
It was a man, wearing a somewhat worn jacket.
"Hey!"
I called out to him.
He turned around, and I was startled.
He has a flat head, dark skin, and a scar on his face that runs from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, looking hideous and terrifying.
The man looked back at me, didn't say anything, pushed open the door of the small building, and strode in.
When I was about to follow, I only heard a "hula" sound, and at the same time, I felt the wings of a bird fluttering above my head, and when I looked up, I saw a figure in the window on the third floor shaking for a moment.
After the figure disappeared, I stood still for a while, and then walked towards the small building.
The door was hidden, and I didn't go straight in, but habitually knocked lightly on the door a few times. No one answered me, so I put my ear to it again, and I couldn't hear a sound.
I knocked a few more times, but there was still no response, and just as I was about to push the door in, the door suddenly opened.
A man, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, with a slightly fat body, looks like he is about forty years old.
"Who are you looking for?" He asked me.
"I ......" I rolled my eyes and pointed to the revelation posted on the wall next to me: "Don't you have a vacant house here for rent, I'm looking for a house to live in, and I want to rent it." ”
The man looked at me for a moment and opened the door: "Come in." ”
I said thank you and followed him inside.
The houses in the urban village are like this, the first floor is the hall, and some people will break the wall to open a shop to operate some daily groceries, but this family does not, the first floor is a hall, and there are some electric vehicles and other means of transportation in it.
"The third floor is where I live, in addition to the common area on the first floor, the suite has been rented to a couple, there is a vacant room on the second floor, but there is only a single room left, all with a bathroom, but the kitchen, on the first floor, public, I just don't know if you mind ......"
Before he could speak, I immediately said, "It's okay, I live alone anyway, and a single room is actually more suitable for me." ”
Seeing that I had no objection, he took out a bunch of keys and went upstairs before me.
At the top of the staircase, a little girl was squatting, holding a piece of chalk in her hand, drawing something horizontally and vertically on the small blackboard that was hanging.
As I passed her, I deliberately turned around for fear of bumping into her.
The girl looked up at me, and I saw that her face was very white, not even a trace of blood on her lips.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Mei Mei ......," she said.
I groaned, and was about to ask something more, when the door next to the staircase opened.
A thin woman poked her head out to look at me.
I noticed that her eyes were blank and she seemed to have some bruises on her face. When the girl saw her, she called her mother, she beckoned the child into the house, and then she looked at me again and closed the door.
I followed the landlord upstairs, there were four rooms on the second floor, one of which was open, the landlord said that it had been rented out, and opened the door of the opposite room.
The single room is like this, the bedroom is very large, in addition to the bathroom, there is a balcony.
"The rent is five hundred a month, one and three are paid, you look at ......," the landlord said.
"Okay, I'll rent it." Without saying a word, I'll make a decision.
Seeing that I was happy, the landlord was happy: "Sign a contract, although the house is small, you must follow the regular one, and copy the ID card or something to me." ”
As he spoke, he actually took out a contract from his pocket.
I signed my name on Party B, and he also wrote the word "Wei Ping" on Party A.
