Chapter 254: The Green Cliff of the World
"And you're going to look for a job?" Du Yu asked.
"Yes, I don't have any money now, don't forget, I still have a mortgage on this house." Chen Erdong said frankly.
He revealed his financial situation to Du Yu, which is a very real problem.
Although Du Yu has no debts, he may not have much liquidity.
From Chen Erdong's point of view, he has fixed expenses, but no stable income. Starting a business requires capital, and it is too difficult for Chen Erdong to invest with money.
"I'd like to find a place to be quiet for a few days and plan for it." Chen Erdong said.
"Okay, let's eat." Du Yu replied.
Before leaving, Du Yu asked Chen Erdong to give him the phone number of the docking person in the park and the businesses left and right, and he asked Chen Erdong to go to relax without distraction and deal with it himself.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Erdong reported to his parents, saying that he would leave Jincheng and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live for a few days, but he did not say where to go.
Dong Yuhua was worried about his son, afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he had to let him go home and tell him where he was going in person.
Chen Mowen stopped her and said, "Your son will be so unbearable? Let him go. ”
Chen Erdong drove to an ancient town called Qingya, more than 300 kilometers away from Jincheng, which he had seen in a travelogue and was deeply impressed.
This ancient town is hidden in the mountains, brick by brick from the Ming Dynasty to the present, this era because of the existence of the Internet, it is difficult to find a pure land, Qingya is one.
His whereabouts were only told to Du Yu, after all, there was a mess left.
He didn't recommend Du Yu to deal with it alone, but Du Yu was very insistent, and he couldn't take care of it so much.
When I arrived at Qingya Town, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
In summer, it gets dark late, but the sky over Qingya Town is gray and seems to be covered with a layer of mist.
The town is sparsely populated, and there are few businesses, so Chen Erdong felt very comfortable as soon as he got out of the car.
Walking on the bluestone road engraved with the footprints of the predecessors, smelling the air, there is a faint fragrance of flowers mixed with the smell of earth, which forms a strong contrast with the noisy city.
Chen Erdong suddenly had an urge to settle here.
There are not many inns in the town because there are very few tourists.
It is not easy to come to Qingya Town, long-distance buses can only drive to the county, if you don't drive yourself, you can only find a local black car or take the motorcycle of the returning villagers to get to the town.
Chen Erdong thought to himself, this Qingya Town is simply a blessed land, just like those niche singers who can no longer be niche, they are privately owned and hidden.
Chen Erdong's car is very eye-catching, the vehicles parked in the town are all agricultural vehicles or vans, and his BMW has become the only luxury car in the town.
The innkeeper told him to park his car in his yard so that it would be safe.
Hearing what the boss said, Chen Erdong suddenly became disappointed, isn't this Qingya Town a paradise that never closes its doors at night and never leaves its roads behind?
He threw this question to the boss, and the boss was happy when he heard it: "The place where you parked, there are wild fruits on it and branches will fall, aren't you afraid of scratching your car?" ”
This answer is what Chen Erdong wants to hear the most, only such folk customs are worthy of the simplicity of Shangqingya.
The inn is built by the water, there is a small river behind it, and there is a big mountain across the river, and the largest room of the boss's inn is given to Chen Erdong, because he is the only guest.
The room has a small terrace, and the owner has prepared a deck chair on which you can lie and enjoy the mountains and waters.
Chen Erdong was in a good mood, and he really chose the right place.
He rested on the terrace for a while, and when he realized that he was a little hungry, he went downstairs to find the boss.
"Boss, what's there to eat?"
"If you don't have anything to eat, if you don't dislike it, just eat with me, my mother-in-law is cooking."
Chen Erdongqi said: "Boss, you open an inn and don't prepare meals?" ”
"I'm here, someone comes to the inn, and no one comes to my house, you see who else is besides you? Haha, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare a meal. ”
The boss's words amused Chen Erdong, although it sounded a little ridiculous at first glance, but it was true, but it was he himself who destroyed the peace here.
"You're right, I'm the uninvited guest, okay, try my sister-in-law's craft."
The boss is about fifty years old, but in fact, his face is at least sixty, but in Chen Erdong's cognition, the actual age of Yamamura Noo will be lower than his appearance.
The boss was a bit hunchbacked, wearing a white vest and coarse cloth shorts, and the vest had a few small holes.
From the first time I saw him, he was smoking leaf cigarettes, and the smell was so strong that the whole hall smelled of smoke.
Since he had dinner with them at the boss's request, the boss did not mention the money, which also made Chen Erdong question.
Is it a black shop? When he left, he checked out the bill, and "snapped" and threw out thousands of bills.
"Boss, how much is this meal?" Chen Erdong still has to ask first, so as not to suffer a loss.
"Money? What money? Do I have to pay for eating at my house? The boss's eyes were even more surprised than Chen Erdong's, as if Chen Erdong's question was completely unexpected.
Chen Erdong's face flushed, feeling like a clown.
is in this clean land, but he still uses a worldly heart to speculate on the goodwill of the boss.
Chen Erdong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly accompanied a smiling face to hide his embarrassment.
What he didn't know was that covering up was also a superfluous move, and in the eyes of the boss, he didn't see whether he was embarrassed or not, let alone think about his complex psychological activities.
The dining table was not sumptuous, but the handiwork of the hostess was good.
Two plates of vegetarian dishes and a plate of stir-fried minced pork with pickled cowpeas should be the daily routine of two people.
Compared with Dong Yuhua's fried minced pork with pickled cowpeas, the proprietress can only be called fried pickled cowpeas sprinkled with minced meat to be precise, because the amount of minced meat can't withstand two chopsticks and it will be gone.
The boss asked Chen Erdong if he drank alcohol, and there was green plum wine he brewed himself in the store, and Chen Erdong thanked him and said that he would drink two glasses with him.
When he was drinking, Chen Erdong learned the name of the boss, whose name was Wen Guiyun, who was born and raised in Qingya.
"Brother Wen," Chen Erdong changed his name when he learned it, he felt that it was closer, "You don't wonder why I suddenly came to live with you?" ”
Wen Guiyun took a peanut and put it in his mouth, which was for the sake of wine, and he asked the proprietress to fry it.
"Anyway, you're not a bad person, you can come if you like, what do I care about you?" Wen Guiyun spoke very directly, and his strong native accent complemented the surrounding atmosphere, complementing each other.
"Haha, how do you know I'm not a bad person?" Chen Erdong said with a smile.
"Which bad guy came to our place? To make money or to kill? It's pretty much the same as having a bag in the skull. ”
Chen Erdong likes the simple and honest boss in front of him more and more, and it seems that he can lead to a lot of interesting topics.
The farmer's soaking wine is smooth in the throat, but the stamina is great, Chen Erdong's happiness seems to have forgotten his own amount of wine, and after a while, his head becomes the weight of winter melon.
He knew that he was about to fall, and taking advantage of the last trace of sobriety, he said to Wen Guiyun: "Brother Wen, I'm here, I'll give you three hundred yuan a day, and you can't eat and drink for nothing." ”
After speaking, Chen Erdong fell to the ground in a daze, Wen Guiyun ignored him, directly helped him up, and carried him back to the guest room.
