Chapter 189: Many Mortals in All Mortal Things (2-in-1 Chapter)
Early the next morning, wake up.
Go downstairs to eat breakfast, the breakfast here is also powder, but the powder is finer than that of Changling City, and it is made of sweet potatoes, sweet potato powder, cooked in boiling water, scooped up, sprinkled with toppings, beef toppings and shredded meat toppings are the best-selling.
Hou Ping'an sat in the middle of a group of people, eating a bowl of sweet potato flour with beef toppings. I also asked for a boiled egg.
The stalls were all set up on the sidewalk in front of the store, and no one said.
Lined up, almost everyone except the children had a plastic cup in front of them. The proprietress brought out a plastic wine jug from the store, which was five pounds. One cup in everyone's cup.
Even two women put a glass of wine in front of them.
"Housheng, why don't you drink?"
A man in his fifties who seemed to be in good spirits smiled at Hou Ping'an: "Little brother is a foreigner, right?" Most of the people who come to us without morning wine are outsiders. β
"Is this a high degree of wine?"
"Oh, it's pinching, the more than 50 degrees are all the boss's own wine, and it tastes good." The old man smiled and said, "Have a drink?" Feel the taste of our morning wine here. β
"Let's have a drink!"
Hou Ping'an shouted inside.
"Hostess, have a drink!"
The proprietress came out, poured a plastic cup of wine for Hou Ping'an, and asked, "Do you want to have a dish?" β
"What's stuffy?"
"I stew you on a small fuel stove, and stew sweet potato flour and meat and vegetables." The proprietress also saw that Hou Ping'an was a foreigner, so she explained.
Hou Ping'an saw that there were already a few stewed vegetables on the stove and eaten.
"Stew, stew!" Hou Ping'an smiled, since you came out, don't be in a hurry to go, where you go, even if you drink alcohol, don't be in a hurry, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. If you can't walk, you can stay.
The stove was lit, and the sweet potato flour just now was poured in, and a portion of braised pork and fried cauliflower were added to it, and finally a portion of braised beef was added and put on a separate plate.
The old man next to him was very envious, ordered some wine with chopsticks, sipped it in his mouth and said, "Kuoyi, Kuoyi, my brother is a person who can eat." We can't, if we eat like this, we will eat Luo. β
"Come on, come on, there are so many anyway, braised beef is good, you're welcome."
Hou Ping'an greeted warmly.
The old man sandwiched a slice, not more, just took a sip of wine, and nodded: "His braised vegetables are also a must-have for us here, and ordinary people can't find this place here, you are blessed." β
"Come on, take a sip!"
Hou Ping'an raised his glass and touched the old man next to him, and took a sip. It tastes really good.
Early in the morning, morning drinkers come and go, go and come.
Hou Ping'an and the old man chatted while drinking, and the old man couldn't hold back as soon as he opened the conversation.
"Is my brother going to work here or visiting relatives? There are also tourists who come here, and there are very few people from other places. β
"It's just nothing to do, just hang out."
"That's what you're looking for?" The old man nodded in understanding, "It's hard to find a job here, but a few rebuilders are still good, more business-minded than us." The chaos of thyme has opened several stores in our county. And the county has opened it. β
"Haha, maybe I'll open a store too!"
The two were talking, someone passed by the side of the road, two of them looked back at Hou Ping'an, one slapped his thigh, came towards Hou Ping'an, and shouted loudly: "Oh, brother, it's you, drink morning wine?" Come on, come a little together, I'm in for a treat, and I had a great drink yesterday......"
It turned out to be the two men from yesterday.
Last night, I didn't really see it, but today during the day, I was in my twenties, but I was a little short. The other companion was about the same height and age.
Let's have a drink together.
Shout that the boss added a stove and a bowl, and began to stew and drink.
Seeing that Hou Ping'an had a friend coming over, the old man drank the remaining finger-high wine in one gulp, and smiled at Hou Ping'an: "Brother, drink slowly, I'll go first." β
After saying hello, Hou Ping'an asked, "What are you doing this morning?" β
"It's not the woman who played him, I asked him to meet, and halfway through, I called and said that I wanted Brother Jian to prepare money, go to the shopping mall in Dongxing to play, and prepare to buy something." The companion pouted, "Which one is going to buy something, this is going to bleed." β
"Haha, I can't think about it yet!"
Hou Ping'an called the boss to add a glass of wine again. Then the quilt was lifted and the three of them touched it.
"Brother Jian, right?" Hou Ping'an stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You can spend money if you spend money, but you have to be angry when you spend money, then it's not interesting." β
"That's right, that's how I persuaded you!" The companion patted his thigh and shook his head.
Brother Jian smiled: "Lao Tzu didn't go to get money for her, I went to settle accounts for her this time, and it took me less than a year to spend 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and she spent a few of my money." β
The three of them were drinking when Brother Jian's mobile phone rang.
"Where did you die? Why haven't you come yet! "The woman over there was very loud and angry.
Brother Jian endured it and lowered his voice: "I'm drinking morning wine, you shout a hammer, what's the matter when my brother and I finish drinking!" β
After hanging up the phone, Brother Jian finally became strong for a while, and smiled: "Lao Tzu is not used to her anymore." β
But immediately Brother Jian's phone rang again.
When I picked it up this time, I heard the woman over there shouting: "Good pinch, good pinch, you can get up and pinch it." Tell me where? I'm coming for you, you can fly up and pinch. β
"Brother Mao's Hotel." After hanging up the phone, Brother Jian said ruthlessly, "Lao Tzu is still afraid of you." β
Soon a tall young woman in leather pants and a leather jacket appeared on the street. Hou Ping'an suddenly understood why Brother Jian could endure not breaking up and spending money on women after so long.
The figure is really very good against the backdrop of the leather pants and leather jacket, and it is still a big bear with almost G at first glance.
Sure enough, as soon as the woman recognized it, Brother Jian, who was still preparing to rise up, was a little embarrassed.
"You're so bold, why don't you drink to death with your fox friends all day long?" The woman slapped Brother Jian's hair, and Brother Jian's hair was fluffed up.
"Lao Tzu's friend is here, shameless ......"
"Then what are you fighting back, if you don't fight back, you'll be a turtle son bastard."
"Brother Jian, I still have something to do, let's go first!" Seeing that the momentum was not right, the companion hurriedly stood up, remembered to go to the checkout, and asked the proprietress how much Hou Ping'an had eaten.
Hou Ping'an said: "I've settled the bill, you go first!" β
And the companion took his feet and ran away.
It's still righteous, although he ran away, he hasn't paid his debts, and he still remembers to settle the knot for Hou Ping'an. But Hou Ping'an couldn't help laughing, boyfriends and girlfriends quarreled, even if they were good brothers, they were not suitable to participate.
"Do you have one?"
The woman could tell that Hou Ping'an's accent was not local. Finally willing to let go of his fierce murderous aura, sat next to Brother Jian, looked at Hou Ping'an and asked.
"I came here to play, and I just met Brother Jian, a very good man!"
"What a fart!"
The girl scolded and glanced at Brother Jian: "Look at it, I went to the mall just to buy clothes, and I didn't buy them during the Chinese New Year. Look at what he is wearing, what it looks like, earthy and temperamentless, and he knows how to have a face, ...... wearing this."
"Is this buying you clothes?" Hou Ping'an held back a smile.
Brother Jian nodded a little embarrassedly. Originally, I wanted to say something to Hou Ping'an, but because of obscenity, I didn't dare to say it after all, I didn't even drink the wine in the cup, stood up, and said to Hou Ping'an: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you, I'll go first!" β
Saying that, he opened his legs and hurried away.
The girl also stood up and looked at Hou Ping'an: "You're not a local?" β
"I just arrived yesterday, maybe because you had a fight yesterday, he drove on the road and stopped my car." Hou Ping'an and this girl talked about what happened last night.
The girl frowned.
"You can see that you still care about him!"
"Of course, I don't care about him, how can I be interested in arguing with him!" When the girl said this, she was a little disdainful, "It also looks like he is honest and sincere, and he still has a little bit, but there are also many shortcomings, so I have to say a few words about him?" β
Hou Ping'an nodded, affirming that what the woman said was right: "Faults are all habitual, so you have to talk about it." But if it wasn't me, but someone else, last night, and gave the dashcam video to the police, you'd have to bring him food! β
The woman laughed, but then stopped again and looked at Hou Ping'an.
He picked up the man's wine glass and raised it towards Hou Ping'an.
"I don't drink much, Brother Jian likes to drink, but it's not a good thing to drink with him. But I think you're not bad, you're a man, I'll do one with you, it's a thank you. β
didn't clink glasses with Hou Ping'an, and drank it in one gulp. But even if the women here don't drink much, such a big glass, two or two drinks, actually seem to be nothing, but their fair faces are red.
"I'm leaving, boss, check out!" The woman shouted loudly into the store.
The boss stuck his head out, looked at the woman, and smiled: "Brother Jian's has already been given." β
The woman replied: "I didn't ask Brother Jian, I asked this eldest brother." β
Hou Ping'an said: "I'm not very old. β
The woman was amused, looked at Hou Ping'an, and asked, "Did you give it?" β
"Given!" Hou Ping'an said a word, and winked at the boss.
Before the boss could speak, the woman said: "Don't say it, a morning wine is not worth a few dollars, how much is it, I gave it for him, it can be regarded as a thank you for letting my family build a horse." β
Hou Ping'an will not refuse, and it would be hypocritical to refuse.
The boss counted for a moment, stretched out his head and said, "Forty-six, are you scanning the code or cash?" He pointed to the QR code on the door.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Hou Ping'an: "What did you eat this morning?" It's really delicious. This Brother Jian is really picky to make friends! β
Hou Ping'an laughed and said, "Fooled!" β
"What are you doing, if you eat like this every day, I really can't tie it for you, and I have to let Brother Jian quickly draw a line with you, otherwise even if it is a knot once in the future, my brother Jian will suffer!"
As she spoke, the woman went to the door and scanned the code, and looked back at Hou Ping'an: "Let's go!" β
Without looking back, he followed the direction where Brother Jian went.
Hou Ping'an couldn't help laughing.
This trip is really interesting, fireworks in the world. This is the fireworks in the world, the mundane things in the world. It seems that in the future, even if you wander outside, you can't just go to the scenic spots, it will be too purposeful, and you can only see things that everyone can see.
And this kind of journey is really good.
It seems that he has found another way to live in life, and Hou Ping'an feels that this kind of exploration is still meaningful to him. I walked around the county all day, and in the afternoon I could drive, and then I went to the outskirts of the county.
In the suburban market town, there is a restored thyme chaos restaurant, go in and call the boss for a small bowl of 7 yuan. The boss is a real rebuilder, not from the city, but also from the countryside to open a shop.
"Boss, are you here like this? It's not a distance of thousands of miles, and it's not easy to go back, right? β
Hou Ping'an picked one, the taste was okay, the oil was big, but the taste of lard was quite fragrant. The special seasoning has a slightly spicy but rich aroma, which is very special.
"My hometown can't be opened, too many people are doing this."
The boss wiped his hands with a rag and looked at Hou Ping'an.
"I don't think you're a local."
"That's right, it's just not a local, I just asked, we also have a restored chaos hall over there, and it's everywhere. I think it's curious, it's almost all over the country. β
The boss of the restoration saw that there was no business in the store now, so he simply sat down and chatted with Hou Ping'an.
"It's one thing for us to open this more. No matter how many local characteristics can be accommodated, it is a little difficult to do. It's so hard to do, the first price can't go up. Our specialty is spices, but this recipe is almost everyone's recipe, it's not a secret, so if you dare to sell a small bowl for 7 yuan, he can calculate for you that you made 4 yuan. It's like you owe a favor to someone. β
"It's different in this field, how much I sell according to the market, no one knows how to match my spice formula, the taste is fragrant, the taste is good, I sell 7 yuan, others think it's too cheap, and there are many people who support it."
"There is another one, that is, I am doing business in my hometown, and I have a relative who wants to rent a faΓ§ade to me, and I won't say the market price, when my business is good, I also said that the rent is cheap, and if the price does not rise, I will sell favors to me, I don't want to talk about him, everyone has it, or it's better to be outside."
There is a sense of truth in that.
The two chatted, and more people came to eat Chaos.
Hou Ping'an went out and drove on the road, heading towards the national highway. Along the way, you can see fields where crops have been harvested, villages scattered between the fields, and small market towns.
Before dark, I entered another county seat. Judging from the navigation map, it is Mashi County. As soon as I entered this county, I felt that it was a little more prosperous than the previous county, with a little more people and vehicles.
First of all, I was not in a hurry to find a hotel to stay, but to find a place to eat.
I parked my car in a parking space, got out of the car, pulled a random person and asked, "Do you know where the food court is here?" β
"A mile or two away!"
It was an uncle who kindly pointed out the direction to Hou Ping'an: "You drive over, wait until there is a parking lot over there, you can park your car there, and then go to the food street, there are the most people at this time." Parking is hard to find. β
"Thank you!"
Hou Ping'an didn't drive, and directly took a taxi.
There are indeed a lot of people in the food court, and there are a lot of people selling food. Hou Ping'an picked a place to sit down and ordered skewers and duck blood soup.
In a short time, the table was full.
Two girls, one man. There were too many people to pick a seat, so everyone sat down when there was an empty seat.
"Dude, squeeze it!"
"It's fine."
Hou Ping'an ate barbecue without drinking beer, ordered a cup of milk tea takeout, and put it aside. The three people next to them also ordered skewers and takeaway milk tea.
Little girls like to drink milk tea. Hou Ping'an only drinks a glass occasionally, this kind of thing has too much sugar.
Swipe your phone while eating.
Take a photo of the food, and then send it to Moments, with a text: The skewers in Mashi County are not as bad as those in Changling City, the flavors are different in different places, and the feeling is not the same.
As soon as it was sent, someone replied, it was Huang Fat.
"Brother, where is it? I'll send you a message, remember to reply to me! β
Hou Ping'an continued to swipe the small video on his mobile phone. I reached for the milk tea, but I was empty. I turned my head and saw that the place where I put the milk tea was empty, and then I looked at the girl sitting next to me, holding a mobile phone in one hand and drinking milk tea in the other.
Hou Ping'an waited for her to put the milk tea down, and then looked carefully, it was indeed her own cup.
The girl was fascinated by her mobile phone, got her own milk tea and drank it.
"Alas, girl......"
The girl glanced up at Hou Ping'an, swiped her phone again, and picked up Hou Ping'an's milk tea again, put it in her mouth and sucked it. She didn't even glance at her cup of milk tea in front of her.
When the girl sucked and made a "zizi" sound, and the milk tea was finished, Hou Ping'an smiled and said, "The milk tea cup should be returned to me, I'll throw it in the trash!" β
When the girl heard this, she frowned and looked at Hou Ping'an: "What do you want a cup for?" I'll throw the trash can myself. β
Hou Ping'an didn't speak, and it didn't make sense to dwell on this girl anymore, as long as she didn't get entangled herself.
Swiped the phone again, and at this time, a few people liked it in the circle of friends again. There are also comments.
Li Wenxiu: Big Brother is so chic. I also want to talk about the journey that I can go.
Zhuo Ling: Looking out the window in the university library, there are new sprouts confiding, and I really want to go to the spring to see it.
Zhou Yuan: Don't force me to block your circle of friends.
Yang Yuefen: Take a few photos of good-looking hair, why do you eat old hair?
Qian Ting: Brother Dasheng, where is this?
Hou Ping'an smiled, I used to think that Wei Ranxin and Zhuo Ling's female teachers liked to post on Moments, and they felt a little hypocritical, but now that they are posting Moments, so many people like and comment, and you can see a little bit of life from the comments, and it really has some taste.
"Oops-"
Finally, there was a terrible cry around him.
Hou Ping'an looked at the girl beside him, look, and you didn't listen to you. If you don't listen to it, you still think that I want to talk, and I think I can talk to it, and I put on a very defensive look, as if I was talking just to take advantage.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
The girl is quite polite, maybe she looks at Hou Ping'an's appearance, especially her figure, which is more than one cut higher than the man opposite.
So the girl wasn't so disgusted that she was going to pick her throat.
"I ...... Shall I buy you another drink? β
"No!"
Hou Ping'an smiled, he was generally more tolerant of polite and beautiful girls.
"How embarrassing!"
This girl is really embarrassed. It is estimated that the previous kind of prevention is also in a kind of safety vigilance for oneself, which is human nature.
"Orange, if you really want to apologize sincerely, invite him to the bar for a drink."
The girl on the other side started to assist.
It's pretty too, and the chubby boy next to her should be a couple. It's the kind of girl who takes her girlfriend out to play with her boyfriend.
"Not really, right?"
"Handsome guy, do you think my oranges look good?" The girl opposite smiled and winked at Hou Ping'an.
"It's beautiful!"
"I'll just say, this misunderstanding between the two of you is fate. Otherwise, how could it be so wrong? Since you are so fateful, do you want to exchange a WeChat mobile phone number! β
"Is it okay for you to sweep or for me to sweep you?"
Hou Ping'an looked at the girl.
The girl named Orange was a little embarrassed, but she still took out her mobile phone, and the two scanned the code to add friends. Orange couldn't help but look at Hou Ping'an's circle of friends.
He raised his head and looked at Hou Ping'an in some surprise: "Ah, you are a high school Chinese teacher?" β
Not only was Orange more surprised, but even her best friend and the boy on the other side looked at Hou Ping'an in surprise.
"Haha, I really didn't expect to meet my peers!"
The girlfriend on the other side smiled and stretched out her hand to Hou Ping'an: "Hello, hello, let's get to know, my name is Orange, I am a good friend of Orange, and we are both teachers." This is my boyfriend, Mr. Xiaopeng. β
"You're just Xiaopeng, and you won't save me some face. My surname is Peng, Peng Yuyan's Peng. β
"Haha, Peng Yuyan's Peng, is he handsome?" The girlfriend on the other side really didn't plan to save face for her boyfriend.
But jokes aside, these three people really became interested in Hou Ping'an.
"You're a high school teacher, where do you teach? The county seat is the No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School and No. 4 Middle School. What secondary school are you in? Orange asked curiously.
"It turned out that I was in the county-level No. 3 middle school in Shonan Province, and I resigned this semester. Officially acquaintance, my surname is Hou, and most people call me Brother Dasheng. β
"Huh?"
All three were surprised, even more surprised than they knew he was a teacher.
Orange couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Why did you resign?" β
Seeing the three of them looking at themselves like curious babies, Hou Ping'an was serious and said very seriously: "The world is so big, I want to go and see it!" β
The more serious it is, the more funny it is.
The three of them laughed, and the orange maintained restraint and pursed his lips and smiled, but the orange "hahaha" didn't care about the image, and was a little arrogant.
"Seriously, just wanted to see it and quit?"
For those who are now in the industry, quitting a job doesn't seem to be a hard thing to accept. After all, teachers, especially rural grassroots teachers, are really hard and the salary level is low.
"yes!"
Orange asked, "What subjects do you teach?" β
"Language!"
"Really, haha, I also teach Chinese. Oranges are also used to teach languages! Xiao Peng teaches mathematics. Hehe, I didn't think we would be able to have a friendship between the two schools. Orange was delighted and beckoned, "Boss, kebabs, forty more skewers, and potato chips baked." β
"Bring a beer." Xiao Peng also shouted at the boss.
At this time, Hou Ping'an is no longer hypocritical, so let's drink.
