Chapter 7: The Unconceived Path
A moment ago, Li Yi once again counted the equipment needed for the night patrol.
A gong with the official mark on one side, a gong hammer wrapped in a red cloth at the end, and a short dagger with a sheath.
These are all the equipment that Li Yi carried.
Recently, the city has not been very stable, otherwise the government would not have expanded the night patrol at this time.
Therefore, it is still necessary to bring a dagger for self-defense.
In the lobby of the restaurant, Jia Youyou knocked on the melon seeds, and glanced at Li Yi from time to time with a pair of squinting eyes.
He always felt that he couldn't grasp this young man.
I went to work during the day, read and write whenever I had time, and now I have found a job as a husband, how can such a studious, good-looking and outstanding young man be willing to be a running boy here in the future?
Thinking of this, Jia Youyou's heart moved slightly.
I remember that I have a niece who is not married yet, such an excellent guy, it is better to be cheap than others...
Li Yi didn't wait long, and the husband who was in charge of knocking on the bang arrived at the door of Tongyue Restaurant on time.
The other party is a little old, but one of his eyes is quite bright, and he walks step by step, and he is resolutely an old man with strong spirits.
Sun Cheng glanced at the gong held in Li Yi's hand, and was surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect to be such a young boy who would be paired with him.
After exchanging names, Sun Cheng asked, "Do you know the number of ways to play the shift?" β
Li Yi shook his head, "I also ask my seniors to teach me." β
"What kind of senior am I, you can call me my grandson!"
Sun Cheng looked up at the sky for a while, and said, "If there is half a cup of tea, it will be the time, and I will teach you then." β
Li Yi followed Sun Cheng's gaze and looked at the night sky.
The clouds cover the moon, but there are not even stars.
Li Yi couldn't help but ask: "How did the seniors know the time by looking at the sky?" β
Sun Cheng coughed lightly when he heard this, and then pointed to the lantern he was holding in his hand.
In the recess at the top of the lantern, a pillar of incense that was about to burn out was emitting a faint green smoke.
β......β
Li Yi was speechless.
Since it's time to burn incense, why bother to watch the sky...
Sun Cheng didn't know what Li Yi was thinking, so he just pointed to the incense and said: "This is the incense of time, different from ordinary incense sticks, one pillar can burn for an hour." β
"When I see that there is no mark on the incense, one grid is a moment, there are eight squares, and when the incense burns out, it will be an hour."
Li Yi nodded, a little curious: "How much does this incense pillar cost?" β
"This incense is issued by the Yamen room, and it doesn't cost money. But if you go to the incense and candle shop to buy it, you will get seven or eight dollars. β
Glancing at the incense that had burned out on the lantern, Sun Cheng said with a straight face: "The time has come, when I finish knocking on the bangzi, you will sound the gong." β
"Remember, you have to be slow and fast, three times in a row."
After that, Sun Cheng first clamped the lantern rod into his armpit, and then knocked on the hammer in his hand.
Li Yi listened carefully to the rattling bang, and when the sound of the bangzi fell, he picked up the gong and hammer, one slow and one fast, and struck it three times.
The sound of the gong was like thunder and electricity, and it alarmed the dogs of a street.
The barking of dogs was restless for a while.
On the side, Sun Cheng cleared his throat and shouted at the right time:
"It's dry, watch out for the candlesβ"
Specialized!
This is Li Yi's evaluation of Master Sun.
After beating the first drum of the evening, the two took Tongyue Restaurant as a starting point and walked all the way along the street, not in a hurry or impatient.
Playing is even more exquisite.
Along the way, Sun Cheng patiently explained to Li Yi the details of his husband's work.
Slowly, Li Yi also has a new understanding of this profession.
In the past, he always thought that the husband only had the line "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle".
Now he learned that every time he beat the drum, he had a specific shout.
For example, Hai Shier is even more 'close the door and window, anti-theft and anti-theft';
The third child is even more 'safe and sound';
The fourth ugly time is 'cold and frozen';
The fifth watch is 'go to bed early and get up early, take care of your body'
......
When it came to the second watch, Li Yi was eager to try: "Let me call the change this time." β
"Okay!"
Sun Cheng smiled and knocked on the bang directly.
Accompanying the young people to play the shift, he seems to be more than ten years younger.
"Bang, bang-" Two big gongs with two bangzi points sounded the drum of the second watch.
When the gong fell, Li Yi took a deep breath, and then shouted at the top of his throat:
"Close the doors and windows, prevent theft and theftβ"
In the silence of the streets, the loud sound traveled far before it began to dissipate.
At the same time, the progress bar in Li Yi's mind had a new change.
[Occupation: Husband]
[Progress: 1/100]
......
On the second day, Tongyue Restaurant.
Li Yi yawned while wiping the table.
On the side, the guy Zhao Shi smiled and said: "In my opinion, you might as well quit your job, if you go on like this, even your iron body can't stand it." β
Li Yi shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just that I was too excited last night and didn't take a leisurely time, and when it comes to tonight, I can just change fights with Lao Sun." β
In his memory, he had worked all night for four days in a row at most, and now it's only one day, what is it?
When it was time to eat the morning meal, Zhao Shi suddenly came to Li Yi with a smile.
"I'll give you a good errand, the wine and food kitchen ordered by the rouge shop is ready, you can help me send it."
...
After a while, the rouge shop inside.
Li Yi carried the lunch box and looked at the antique layout of the store curiously.
The fat powder here was much lighter than he had imagined.
In the store, the makeup is mature, and the figure is even more mature.
The little Langjun in front of him is really good-looking!
"What do you want to buy?"
Li Yi came back to his senses and said, "I'm a guy from Tongyue Restaurant, and this is the wine and food ordered by your rouge." β
The guys at Tongyue Restaurant?
The female shopkeeper's eyes moved slightly.
How did she not know that Tongyue Restaurant had such an eye-catching guy before......
Accepting the food box, seeing that Li Yi was about to leave, the female shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! β
Li Yi turned around in confusion.
"It's not good to let you run away in vain, you take this string of money."
This is, the errand fee?
But is there so much for running errands?
Looking at the string threaded with rope, not to mention the copper coins of twenty wen, Li Yi was stunned.
After taking the money string, Li Yi didn't care about the female shopkeeper's inadvertent action of touching the back of his hand.
At this point, his attention was already drawn to the progress bar in his mind.
[Occupation: Primary 2]
[Progress: 38/100]
......
[Occupation: Beggar]
[Level: 1]
[Progress: 8/300]
The change in the career progress of the second child is still expected, Li Yi is not surprised, what surprises him is that the career progress of the beggar, who has not grown, has also increased a little.
It's not big, but it's an increase.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi fell his gaze on the money string in his hand.
Is that okay?
Then if he delivers a meal during the shift, he will ask for a meal by the way......
Hiss!
One thing to say, although the idea is a little unrealistic, this is a path that Li Yi never envisioned.
