Chapter 404: Face Money
"You just have to be reasonable!" Lianhua was looked at by Zhang Xiaofo like that, and suddenly felt a little blushing, and was angry, so she turned around and entered the store.
After Lianhua left, Zhang Xiaofo didn't move, just looked at the fire, as if there was something in the fire.
Zhang Xiaofo outside was watching the fire, and the pity flower in the store looked at Zhang Xiaofo, she felt that her face was hot, and when she reached out to touch it, she found that her face was cold. Also, she is not a human being in the first place, where can she blush? Mercy laughed at herself.
The paper shop doesn't seem to have any business day and night, but Zhang Xiaofo doesn't understand, and the flowers make Qingming flowers every day regardless of the season, and where do some ingots go.
The night was quiet, and the moon hung high in the sky. Zhang Xiaofo didn't feel sleepy at all, so he got up and informed the pity flowers in the store - after going out for a while, he walked out. He remembered that there was a noodle stall next to the antique market, and it would be very late to do business, although it was already the second half of the night, Zhang Xiaofo still wanted to try his luck.
The antique market has become depressed, and many shopkeepers who can't survive have hung signs on their doors to transfer them, and some grocery sellers have quietly moved in. Zhang Xiaofo is actually very accustomed to seeing this change, because there will be some popularity. There are always some lifeless antique shops, which makes people feel a little too dull.
Zhang Xiaofo was very lucky, he saw the noodle stall from afar, hurried over in a few steps, and walked on the table closest to the stove: "The boss hasn't confiscated the stall?" ”
"Nope!" The noodle stall owner replied enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Put more coriander in a bowl of beef noodles!" Zhang Xiaofo Mali replied.
"Okay!"
The noodles of the noodle stall owner are freshly rolled, so they are very strong, but there are some in good times. Zhang Xiaofo can afford to wait for such time. Watching the boss roll out the dough is also very pleasing to the eye.
"The boss has good craftsmanship!" Zhang Xiaofo casually talked about the topic: "But why didn't you confiscate the stall so late today!" ”
"It's annoying to go home, it's better to come out and do business!" The boss put the noodles in front of Zhang Xiaofo, sat down with him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and asked Zhang Xiaofo, "Do you mind?" ”
"Don't mind!" Zhang Xiaofo shook his head. The hot steam on the noodles warmed up the frozen muscles of Zhang Xiaofo's face again: "It's so cold!" ”
"Yes! This year's winter looks particularly cold! The boss spat out the smoke ring ring and said, "It's a bit abnormal!" ”
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaofo ate while waiting for the boss to continue. Now there is only one customer in the noodle stall, Zhang Xiaofo. The boss is also willing to talk to him, and two people are better than staying alone.
"I remember it was this cold once twenty years ago!" The boss smokes very slowly, and always inhales the cigarette deeply into his lungs every time, and after circulating it a few times, he spits it out contentedly.
"It's cold, so let's close the stall early!" Zhang Xiaofo swallowed the noodles and said inarticulately.
"Let's wait!" The boss shook his head: "It's annoying at home!" ”
Generally, Zhang Xiaofo doesn't like to inquire about other people's gossip, but today he just thinks that there should be some popularity, so he doesn't keep quiet, just listens.
"I'm an old man, and I only picked up a kid at the age of 40. The daughter-in-law went when she gave birth. I raised my children alone. Where would I have thought of setting up a noodle stall, didn't I think that I had to save some money for my children, I would come out after I retired. The family is poor, and finally the child married a wife last year, and I wanted to hug my grandson quickly, but I didn't expect the daughter-in-law to be a little stronger...... It's not good to stay at home......"
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaofo didn't know how to answer. The topics of wife, children and daughter-in-law are still too far away for him at present, and he doesn't know how to comfort the boss.
"What am I talking to you about this young man? Hey, people always like to nag when they're old! The boss also felt embarrassed, and got up embarrassed and returned to the back of the stove. Start ramen.
Zhang Xiaofo's noodles were almost eaten, and when he reached out and touched it in his pocket, his face immediately collapsed - his clothes had just been changed, and he didn't bring any money.
"That. Boss...... I didn't bring any money! Zhang Xiaofo felt that his tongue was rolling. He is not yet kind-hearted, and he is still arrogant if he doesn't give money to eat.
"If you don't bring any money, you don't have much business at night anyway!" The boss waved his hand magnificently: "What's more, you still listened to my nagging." Didn't there be a program on the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago? You also have to pay for the chat! This bowl of noodles should be your reward for chatting! ”
Zhang Xiaofo smiled, he didn't expect the boss to be so humorous, and he was not hypocritical on the spot. Say thank you and go back. But after walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back: "I opened a paper shop inside, if ......" halfway through. Zhang Xiaofo found that the store he opened didn't seem to be so easy to introduce, so he was embarrassed to get stuck in place.
"It's okay, it's okay! If you have something, I will definitely look for you! The owner was understanding.
Zhang Xiaofo breathed a sigh of relief, he really hadn't dealt with a person like the noodle stall owner: "If you are there tomorrow, I will send you the money." Smiled apologetically, Zhang Xiaofo left with confidence.
Back at the paper shop, it was almost dawn, and Lianhua was busy moving some things to the door of the store to act as a sign. Seeing Zhang Xiaofo coming back, he just wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but suddenly smelled a certain smell, and when Zhang Xiaofo walked in, he leaned in and sniffed it carefully.
"What? It's not good for you to look like this in broad daylight! Zhang Xiaofo dodged.
"What did you do?" Relianhua asked with a frown.
"I went to eat a bowl of noodles!" Zhang Xiaofo told the truth.
"Then why do you have a stench on you?" Lianhua asked.
"No, it won't!" Zhang Xiaofo sniffed left and right: "Impossible! ”
"Let's go take a shower!" was said by Zhang Xiaofo, and Lianhua was also a little uncertain. The smell is not very noticeable.
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaofo went back to the base to take a shower before returning to the ground, but found that the paper shop was unexpectedly lively outside, and there were several people sitting around.
"That's him!" Lianhua saw Zhang Xiaofo come out, and pointed with her hand: "You look for him!" ”
Before Zhang Xiaofo could react, he was surrounded. Several people gossiped for a while, and Zhang Xiaofo realized that he had let himself see a doctor. Only then did I remember that it seemed that my paper shop had really started this business, but this business has been ......
No matter what, Zhang Xiaofo could only be patient and see a few people.
"You have the potential to be a magic stick!" After waiting for the others to leave, Lianhua said sourly.
"That can't be helped!" Zhang Xiaofo shrugged: "That's what we eat!" ”
Zhang Xiaofo originally expected to return the front to the noodle stall owner at night, after all, it was not pleasant to owe people money. But I didn't expect to see the boss's figure for a few days, so I stopped. (To be continued......)
