On this day, there were few boats on the wharf, and there were dock workers who entered Ji Damiang's shop early, saying that it was a shop, but in fact it was just a shed built of wood, and the environment was simple and leaky, but it was better to be closer to the wharf, and the price was cheap.

Ji Shi brought the last dish to the table, sat on the stove with a bench, and silently thought about his thoughts in the noise of the table, the things on the market are more expensive, this Xia Yuan is becoming more and more worthless, do you want to take out some money to buy more condiments and prepare them first?

I was pondering it, and I saw a tall and thin figure coming slowly from the corner of my eye, and I was busy cheering up and took rice noodles and put them in the pot, and the other party came here to eat every three or five times, always ordering vegetarian rice noodles and peanuts, and occasionally a few pieces of soy tofu, which seemed to never get tired of eating.

"Aunt Ji is good." The person who came with a big bald head is exactly the fate of the line.

"You sit down first, and you'll be right away." Ji smiled and responded.

As soon as Yuan Xing entered the shop, he smelled the smell of wine, and he didn't care, so he just found a place far away and sat quietly.

Ji's movements in his hands were quick, scooping up powder, pouring soup, and adding condiments. Soon, a large bowl full of steaming rice noodles was served in front of Yuanxing, and when he saw him take the chopsticks, he turned around and went to prepare side dishes and soy tofu, because they were acquaintances, and the amount of food at the same price was more than half of that of others.

To say that when Yuan Xing first lived in the alley, Ji and his neighbors were actually a little suspicious of his identity as a monk, after all, his appearance was too bad.

Especially Aunt Ji, if it weren't for the fact that the house had been empty for too long, she really didn't want to let such a person in, for fear that this person who looked like a big smoker would steal her own things with bad intentions, so she was really careful for a few days.

But after getting along for a while, I found that he was gentle and kind, and his life was very regular, he went out to work during the day, and when he came home at night, he either read the newspaper or hid in the house. This is really an honest monk.

Alas, in this world, even the monks in the temple are so hungry that they go down the mountain. After getting acquainted, Aunt Ji's previous vigilance was naturally gone, thinking of the smell of Chinese medicine wafting in the yard every morning, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in my heart, this poor one, Xu was driven down the mountain by the master to find a way to live because he was very sick, and he was young, and he was afraid that all the money he earned was used to buy medicine, and he was also a miserable person!

Yuan Xing naturally didn't know what she was thinking, under the nourishment of the decoction, he has recovered a lot now, although he is still thin, but he is not as scary as before, there is some meat on his face, and he can see the past Qingjun somehow.

"Sir, your body seems to be recovering quickly." A gentle, clear voice reached my ears.

Yuanxing, who was stirring the rice noodles, looked up and saw a short middle-aged man in a white suit enter the shed and slowly sat down opposite Yuanxing.

This person is the owner of Gu who runs a Chinese medicine shop on the street, and today for some reason, he gave up the robe and horse coat he wore every day and changed into this trendy dress. There are a few rare medicinal herbs that were bought at his house, and the money is still painful to spend until now, and Yuanxing naturally remembers it vividly.

He frowned and didn't answer, not because he was resentful because he was slaughtered, but because this person had been asking questions after seeing that he had spent a lot of money on those medicinal materials, he felt a little annoyed, and he was too lazy to take care of it.

Boss Gu didn't get angry when he saw his ignorant appearance, and continued: "Those medicinal materials you bought seem to be very effective on the loss of the body, I don't know where the recipe is, can you let me take a look at it?" If it's agreeable, I can pay for it. His tone was sincere and polite, and his attitude made it impossible to find fault with it.

Yuan Xing pursed his lips, and was just about to speak, when a person rushed in from outside, swept around the shed, and looked at him, his eyes lit up: "Haha, I know that your monk is here." "It was Huang Kan, a rickshaw driver who lived in a yard. When I saw the person I was looking for, I wasn't in a hurry, and walked to the table in three steps and two steps: "Aunt Ji, a bowl of wontons." Then he smiled politely at Boss Gu and sat down as well.

Huang Kan took the chopsticks from the chopstick bucket, picked up the soy tofu and put it in his mouth to chew, tasted it, and stuffed a few peanuts into it. Only then did he say: "There is nothing to do at the dock in the afternoon, how about giving me a hand?" ”

The so-called hitchhiker, Yuanxing has participated more than once during this time. Don't look at Huang Kan as just a rickshaw driver, but he has a flexible brain, and he can always get some work, so if he is good at it, he will find a few familiar ones to do it together, and if he can't do it, he will transfer it to others to make some money. came and went, and earned some reputation in these seven streets and eight alleys, and it was very enjoyable.

Because he is a neighbor who knows the roots, well, the key is that he has great strength, he can top two or three people when he does the work, he has a good temper, and he doesn't share much money, so when Huang Kan receives the job, the first thing he thinks of is him.

This time is no exception, it is said that the teaching building of the completed primary school on the side of Huangshagang is dilapidated, and the school is looking for someone to repair the house and the fence while the students are on vacation. Huang Kan had some relationship with the logistics department and contracted the construction of a section of the wall.

"Can I use it to build a house in winter?" As a northerner, I was a little surprised, although Hengcheng belongs to the south, but now it is winter, sometimes the temperature will be below zero, the cement is not easy to solidify, can this house be repaired and maintained? If there is a problem with the quality, wouldn't it be a matter of carelessness?

"Hey, it's just a temporary fix, so that students don't have no classrooms when school starts. If you want to overhaul it, you will have to wait at least until after the beginning of spring. Huang Kan explained nonchalantly.

Yuan Xing heard him say that it was only temporary, and he didn't want to be an accomplice to the tofu scum project.

At this time, Huang Kan's wontons were also served, he took a sip of soup first, and said: "I heard that a big-nosed foreigner donated a lot of money to the school, and the principal asked the government for a subsidy, so he had the money to build the school building." Anyway, the salary is quite a lot. ”

The two chatted while eating, but they both left Boss Gu aside, and no one bothered to deal with them. And that Gu boss is also very interesting, when Huang Kan came in, he no longer asked about the prescription of Yuanxing, and ordered something to eat slowly.

Soon, after the meal was over, Yuan Xing wiped his mouth and put the only banknotes on the table, and pulled Huang Kan out of the shop, but he didn't even look at the Gu boss.

This person looked humble and polite on the surface, but Yuan Xing felt that he was overthinking the prescription of the tonic, and it seemed that the purpose was not pure, and his intuition told him that the Gu boss in front of him was not a good person, so it was better not to contact too much......

---------

The primary school in Huangshagang has become a construction site, and building materials can be found everywhere. It had just rained the other day, the playground was muddy everywhere, and many workers were barefoot, even shirtless, toiling in the cold wind.

Yuan Xing didn't like the feeling of his shoes stuck in the mud, so he simply took off his shoes and went into battle barefoot, pushing a wooden cart back and forth, carrying a cart full of bricks and cement every time.

But just as he turned his head and transported it over again, he found that Huang Kan and the others had stopped their work and stood aside in fear, and there were several people in suits and leather shoes standing opposite, among which a young man in a gray suit and wearing round-framed glasses was stumbling and saying something to a foreigner with a big nose, pointing at a few workers as he spoke.

Although Yuan Xing was far away, his ears were good, and he could tell that he was speaking not very authentic English, and he could barely hear the content clearly, so he couldn't help frowning, and scolded in his heart: "Lick the dog." ”
