After Shou Ming finished talking about this, Wu Shibao was like a mud fetus that had been rained, and immediately his eyes rolled white, his mouth foamed, his limbs twitched, and he collapsed on the ground unconscious. Shou Ming picked up a cigarette stick from the cigarette tray, plunged it into the others, and twisted it a few times. Wu Shibao spat out phlegm, Shou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, took a wrung out hand towel and said to him: "You wipe your face, drink saliva, and rest for a while." Usebo felt dizzy and dry, and he was really tired, so he sighed loudly while wiping his face and drinking tea.

Usebo wanted to discuss with Shou Ming to find a place to stay, when Shou Ming's woman spoke in the outhouse. In the past, Usebo Nada had never come to Shouming's house, and this was the first time he saw Shouming women. She's in her early sixties, but her voice is quite brittle. I heard her greet her daughter and say, "Brother Zhao, hurry up and take this cheongsam." When you buy 20 yuan of meat filling, three big money dishes, let's make fried noodles for Uncle Wu to eat! When Wu Shibo heard this, he quickly stood up and took his leave. Shou Ming's face turned red, and he whispered: "Let's go out together, I invite you to come to the door frame alley!" Usebo said, "No, you don't have much in your boots, do you?" Shou Ming said: "Don't listen to the old ladies crying poor, that's her chasing customers." I, a virtuous helper, lack gold in the five elements, so I know money. We can't afford to hide. You say, why doesn't she go out of the city to ask for a dream or something? Usebo said, "It is said that you should not speak ill of the dead." Even if my dead ghost listens to Aunt Liu's words more, can he be so miserable? When this person was alive, she was wine-colored and wealthy, and she was open for me to use in this breath! The two of them talked all the way to the front door. Shou Ming invited Wu Shibao to eat chop and burst his belly. He also invited him to take a bath and shave his head on the "Yipinxiang", and the two asked for a pot of Gao Mo to drink in the bathhouse, and asked the man to take the inside and outside clothes of Usebo to wash. With this effort, Shou Ming helped Wu Shibao plan his future life.

Usebo usually didn't worry about arranging his own life, and he didn't have to worry about it when he went to prison. Shou Ming asked him what he planned to do in the future? He couldn't say anything. Shouming's family business failed early, and with experience in making a living on his own, he had success in his heart. He said, "If you don't have an idea, listen to me." But there is one thing, what do I say you should do, don't make your own decisions. ”

Usebo said, "If you tell me to make my own decisions, I can't do it." I was relieved that the child would go with his wet nurse, but when I was released from prison, I was asked by the next refugee friend to take care of his family. I have received favors from others, and I must keep my word. ”

Shou Ming said: "You deserve this well, enough people." But you can't do anything now. According to me, I will stay down first, find a reason to earn a few taels of silver, make up for my body, change my clothes, and then talk about anything else. ”

Usebo said, "This is the reason, but how can there be a ready-made reason for me to find it?" ”

Shou Ming said: "There is a reason, but I have to put down the uncle's shelf." ”

Usebo said, "Tell me to go down to the sea and sing a single string?" ”

Shou Ming said: "That's also a road. But not at the moment. ”

Usebo said: "Set up a stall on the street to sell characters? ”

Shou Ming said, "How is it? ”

Usebo said: "In broad daylight, he hit his head and touched his face!" It's unbearable to be tired, this person can't afford to lose it! ”

Shou Ming smiled: "I know you said this!" Okay, you don't need to go out and give up your face. I saw the inner painting pot you painted, okay, it can open the market! I'll find you a small shop to live in first. Buy you a pot blank, buy paint, you just paint. It's all my business to sell goods and run raw materials. If you're afraid of being embarrassed, don't sign your real name, and it's not over with a name! ”

Wu Shibao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, I really didn't expect that I, Wu Shibao, would have to rely on ten fingers to eat in this field!" ”

Shou Ming said: "You draw first, and when you taste the sweetness, you won't have these emotional words." Thousands of acres of good land, it is better to have a skill. Look at our down-and-out flag owners, you and I are first-class! There are third-class, fifth-class, and non-streamed ones! ”

Shou Ming told Usebo to find a suitable place to live. It is most suitable to be near the flower market outside the Harder Gate. The area is inhabited by craftsmen who make jade, ivory, velvet, materials, and small utensils. Renting a room becomes a cat painting a cigarette bottle in the house, and no one is a rare legend. There is a tax card at Hade Gate, which is the only way for other provinces to enter Beijing to transport goods for business. There are rice stalls and teahouses on both sides of the street, which are convenient for eating and drinking. This area is mostly a place where the peddlers and pawns stay, and the house and food are cheap. Although it's a bit incompatible with Usebo according to his identity, can he still afford to talk about this?

Usebo nodded helplessly. Out of the bathhouse, Shou Ming led him to the vicinity of the garlic market to find an inn. Shou Ming and the Du family shop here have been exchanged, and he will guarantee it, live first, and then settle the bill for half a month. I rented a single room in the east courtyard. There was no second thing in the house, except for the mats on the clay kang. When Usebo saw that it was no better than in prison, he snorted his teeth. Shou Ming smiled: "Don't worry, the house is here, let's talk about the paving first." Usebo said, "It's the first time I've entered a shop like this, and it turns out that it's really a family with four walls!" Shou Ming said: "Quilts, mattresses, pillows, mosquito nets have everything, to count the same money, with a day to calculate a day's money, we live permanently, no better than the passing guests, live for three days and two nights, so we can't afford to rent." I'll go back and I'll give you a set of half-new luggage at the clothing shop, which is the long-term solution. There is another thing, you have a set of luggage here, you can rest assured that he is not afraid of you running away in the store one day earlier and one day late. You rent everything from him, and you don't pay cash, and he will give you a look on your face as the days go by, don't you also get angry? As he spoke, Xiao Er sent over a small black kang table, a teapot with a knock, and two tea bowls that touched the edges. Standing next to him with his hands down, he said, "The shopkeeper asked me to ask, is the master's food taken care of by himself or by the store?" Shou Ming said: "First wrap until the end of the month, if it's good, eat it, if it's too bad, let's make another decision." The guy said, "Don't others know that Shou Ye still doesn't know?" Our store relies on food to recruit people. Beijingers who don't know: 'Dujiadian, good guys, warm the house and hot kang new quilt!' Shou Ming said: "I haven't seen Xiaoli stupid for a few months, so don't play poor with me." Wu Ye is my best friend, you have to offend him if you don't serve well, have your monkey chestnuts to eat! After the guy left, Shou Ming took care of Wu Shibao: "He can't eat here, but you can pack it, you can eat it first if you have money or not." When you get up in the morning, you go to the opposite door to drink pulp and eat fried ghosts, and you are not in the bag. I will leave a few taels of silver for you to make up for it first, and after a long time, let's think about it in the long run. ”

Wu Shibao didn't want to go, and hurriedly stopped and said: "This is enough trouble for you, you don't dare to accept this silver." ”

Shou Ming said: "Don't stop, listen to me." I didn't give you this money, together with the cover I gave you, and I can't afford to give it. Aren't we in business together? I'll buy materials and sell cigarette bottles for you, and I have a rebate for me, and I'm going to take this rebate. Do the cover for you, leave pocket flowers, this is a advance, I will also recover from the money you sold in the future, not only to collect the book, but also to collect interest, this is the rule. Making friends is making friends, doing business is doing business, giving favors is giving favors, and putting the mat is putting the pad, all of which must be distinguished. You just started this business, and there are many things you don't understand, I can't help but point out and understand! ”

Usebo nodded yes.
