Chapter 53: Do Not Disturb If You Are Not Sincere
"The county lieutenant of Mu is recruiting for marriage in the whole city and choosing a husband for his sister, and all single men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-eight, good looks, and good health can run for election. If you are interested, please go to Jianghu Inn to register and get a number. ”
The genius was bright, and I saw someone sticking something on the street, Wang Jiajia and I went up to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be a notice of Mu Niangzi's marriage.
After Wang Jiajia finished reading word by word, she almost jumped up excitedly: "Sister Mu is really going to marry the whole city." ”
I changed the burden on one shoulder: "Mu Niangzi is asking for marriage, why are you so happy?" ”
"I'm happy for Sister Mu." Wang Jiajia mentioned Douhua and followed me to continue walking forward: "Even if you are a woman, you have the right to pursue your own happiness, even if you are old, no matter what, you can't settle for anything." ”
I looked at the woman next to me in surprise, why did this stupid girl suddenly say such profound words? Hasn't she always been worried that she is almost twenty years old and afraid that she will not be able to get married? Recent...... Since she dated Mu Niangzi, she feels that the whole person seems to have changed a lot suddenly.
When I arrived at the door of the Jianghu Inn, the sun had just shown a trace of hair, and there were not many customers in the store, but Fu Bo personally greeted me and pulled me aside.
"Jianghu, there is something that the owner asked me to tell you."
"Oh, Fauber, please."
"Uh......" Fu Bo smiled, a little embarrassed, and paused before continuing: "The owner said that in the next period of time, except for the back guest room, which will be open as usual, breakfast and noodles will be served in the front guest room, ...... So...... Hehe, in fact, the owner buys you two boxes of tofu every day, and the kitchen can't sell it out at all, most of them are bought by people who come for breakfast to cook at home, and sometimes they are given away......"
I listened to Fauber's voice getting quieter and quieter, but I understood what he meant.
"Fauber, it's okay, you have something to say. But now there are no two boxes of tofu in the inn? ”
"Hey." Fauber nodded and stretched out a finger: "One box, as long as one box is enough." On weekdays, you deliver the goods, and the guys in the store help sell them, but now there are important things, and I really can't take care of them. ”
I felt a little lost, but more guilty, I always thought that I had found a stable buyer, but I didn't expect to cause them so much trouble.
"Oh, the owner said, a box of tofu will be counted as 100 yuan for you. You can also set up two small tables under the eaves next to the door, and you can set up a stall there to sell tofu and bean curd. Seeing that I was silent, Fauber added.
"Good. Thank you very much. I smiled: "Please also ask Fu Bo to tell Mrs. Mu that I have thanked her for taking care of her in the past few months." ”
"Oh, good. I'm really sorry. Fu Bo's chubby face still had an apologetic expression: "But in the next few days, there will be a lot of people coming and going in the inn, and your business should be good." ”
"The inn is closed at noon and night?" I'm not worried that the tofu won't sell, but I think I'll lose a lot in the inn.
"If someone comes to eat somen noodles or tofu, they will still make it, but if they want to eat other alcoholic dishes, they won't have to." Fu Bo was also a little helpless: "In order to make up for the loss, the owner decided to wait for dawn to hang up the signboard and triple the price of the back room." ”
"Fauber, can you help me take a look, how about the notice?" Sun Chenxian shouted.
"Oh, you're busy."
I moved a box of tofu into the back kitchen, and the rest was moved under the eaves, Wang Jiajia asked the reason, and quickly helped set up two small tables and set up a few small stools.
"Tofu, freshly ground tofu in the morning, two dollars a piece. Do you want a piece of the lady? There is also bean curd, which is also a bowl of two pennies. ”
I borrowed a stack of bowls from the back kitchen and came out to see Wang Jiajia shouting at passers-by. The soft sunlight smeared her cheeks and blended with her smile.
Since growing up, I have never seen Wang Jiajia speak out loud to strangers so generously, when did she become so brave? No, to be precise, self-confidence, a beauty of self-confidence from the heart!
Although the left side of her face still covers her chin-level hair, the scar on her face will still be mercilessly exposed when she deviates her head, but she still smiles confidently, and the whole right side of her face is more and more obviously innocent, completely overpowering the imperfections on the left side of her face.
"Brother Jianghu, come, put the bowl here." Wang Jiajia nodded at the corner of the table: "Brother Jianghu!" ”
"Huh?" I put down the bowl and finally came to my senses. I have to admit that I was a little fascinated by what I just saw. During this time, I was busy building a house or something, and I don't know when she was reborn, no, her appearance has not changed, but the temperament exuded by the whole person has far exceeded my understanding of her.
"Let's have a bowl of bean curd." A middle-aged woman sat down at the table and shouted.
"Oh, auntie." Wang Jiajia responded, slapped a bowl and brought it over: "Auntie, you use it slowly." ”
I took the two copper plates handed over by Wang Jiajia and smiled at her, "Are you hungry?" Do you want to go in for a bowl of noodles? ”
"What about you? I'm going to buy it. ”
"Hey, Jiajia, thank you!"
"Thanks for what? I'm not here to help you. Wang Jiajia squeezed her eyes mischievously at me and went towards the inn.
I knew what she meant, she arrived in the morning as soon as I packed the tofu, and I didn't let her follow, but she said that she was the vice-captain and should be on a mission with me.
Perform the mission!
Qincha, Qincha, I haven't offended you much, how can you assign me such a complicated task?
Hey, I didn't think about it at the time, I was still a little excited, and when I thought about it again last night, I suddenly felt that why was Qincha's plan so unreliable? How could he be sure that there would be Tubo and take advantage of Mu Niangzi's marriage to come to Xiangzhou City? Even if there is a small work, you will not stay in the guest house? Why do I have to rent a private house? Will you definitely rent my house?
When I finished selling the bean curd tofu, it basically cost me an hour, but I earned more than 150 yuan, and I wanted to pay 100 yuan to Fu Bo, but he said that the money was kept for my pocket use, so I didn't have much to say.
After walking around a few times, there were more houses in the city, and soon I found Song Erlang, and contacted the odd job, and I just helped to carry the wood, I have the strength, of course, I can also provide a lunch at noon, and send fifty copper plates.
After a few days, I was tired, but watching the bag containing the money gradually bulge was really good. It's just that I have talked to Song Erlang and them intentionally or not, and they all know the idea that I want to rent a house, and they also said that they will help pay attention, but there has been no follow-up.
Do I also want to follow the example of Mu Niangzi, write a notice and post it everywhere? Because the notice of Mu Niangzi's marriage has a huge response, since it was posted on the eighth day of September, it has only been a few days, and there has been an endless stream of people entering the inn to sign up. This makes my business really good, and even people passing by will slow down, or eat a bowl of bean curd in front of my tofu stall, have a small talk, and then buy two pieces of tofu along the way.
"Brother Jianghu, do you think it's okay to write like this?" Sun Chenxian ran out and handed me a piece of paper.
"There is a new house for rent in the fifth lane of the south of the city, 200 wen a month, pay first and then move in, do not disturb if you are not sincere." I read, "This is for me?" ”
"Well, the owner asked me to ask you, and if there is no objection, I will post it in front of the tofu stall for you."
Ask me? Hehe, I secretly laughed in my heart, since Mu Niangzi did this, it is obvious that she is also Xiao Mu...... Oh no, it's Chincha's order.
"Thank you. Then post it here. I laughed.
……
"Lao Jia, is it Brother Ren's house for rent?"
As soon as Sun Chenxian put up the notice, the family eating bean curd on the side of the table asked me.
The questioner was a man in his early thirties, with a dark complexion, a tired look, a mustache on his chapped lips, a thinner build, and a wrinkled short cloth shirt that looked a little older.
Renting an apartment? Finesse?
My heart tightened, and I tried to smile and say, "Yes." ”
"Oh, this is my mother, and my daughter. Our family fled from Yizhou, and we wanted to come to join our relatives, but we couldn't do it, so we could only live in tents outside the city temporarily, and the county government would send porridge every day, and I would also go into the city to find some work to do. In the past few days, there are many people building houses in the city, and I also took the opportunity to save some money, after all, I am dragging my family, and I still have to find a stable place to live. So......" the man said, suddenly stopping and looking at me expectantly.
I looked at the woman next to him, she looked ordinary, she seemed to be the same age as Wang Jiajia, she was wearing a very rough cloth skirt, and she was holding a little girl about two or three years old on her lap. At this moment, the woman didn't speak, only focused on feeding her daughter bean curd, and when the little girl turned her head and pushed the spoon with her little hand, the woman took the bowl and ate it herself.
"Come, lady, it's not easy to sell this little bit in the bucket, so I'll give it to you." Wang Jiajia should have relented for a while, lifted the wooden barrel, scraped the bean curd sticky on the wall and bottom of the barrel with a spoon and added it to the woman.
"Thank you." The woman looked up and smiled slightly, and ate silently again.
How can it be a fine work? Should I rent a house for them?
"Oh, I've got money, this ...... This is fifty copper plates, you can pay a part of the deposit first, I will look for work every day, and I will pay you the rent when it is due. Seeing that I was silent, the man was afraid that I was worried that he would not be able to pay for the house, so he quickly reached out and pulled out a black bag, poured out the copper plate inside, counted out fifty wen and pushed it towards me.
The money is all in front of me, I don't want it, am I stupid? I don't agree with someone renting a house, if this is seen by the fine saku, will it expose my identity as a secret agent of the Sky Eye?
Xiao Mu...... No, Chincha! If it were you, what would you do? I peeked around, hum, who said that Qin Cha is omnipotent, why don't you secretly show up at the critical moment to give a hint?
Wang Jiajia? Ahem, what do you always wipe the table at this time? Do I rent or not? Can you feel a little bit psychopathically? Feed! Would you like to give it a look? Vice Captain of the Shen team!
Hey, no matter!
My heart was crossed, and I swept the fifty yuan into the iron box: "Forget it, I have written it very clearly on this notice, pay first and then move in, but everyone also has difficulties, so let's do it, I should also close the stall today, you go with me to see the house first, if you are satisfied, you will live first, and the rest of the money will be cleared before the end of the month." ”
"Hey, okay, hehe, thank you so much!" The man was overjoyed, took his wife, and waved his hand at me to thank me.
