Chapter 155: Goodbye Xiao Mu
"Wait!" I blurted out that now that the words are on my lips, I really don't vomit or feel unhappy.
Xiao Mu was a little impatient: "Why do you have so many questions?" β
"I ...... I actually wanted to ask: why do you feel different? Sometimes I think you are very much like Mu Niangzi, but today, when you sit with Mu Niangzi, I don't look like it, and even, now you and you in the painting boat make me feel like two people. I simply said bluntly.
The corners of Xiao Mu's mouth still showed a hint of a smile but not a smile, and he pointed to the sky: "How many moons are there in the sky?" β
"Of course there is only one."
"But the moon you see is round and missing, big and small...... That...... Is it because the moon has changed, or has the perspective of your perspective changed, or is it because of the clouds? Xiao Mu asked rhetorically.
I know he's quibbling, but I also know I can't talk about him, because where can a man compare with the moon?
"Think about it, and then try me if you figure it out!" Xiao Mu didn't want to stay too long, so he turned around and left.
I turned my heart sideways and shouted to his back: "You have to tell Xiao Mu that since he regards me as a friend, then I hope to say goodbye to him sincerely before he leaves!" β
The back of "Xiao Mu" stayed for a moment, then jumped and went straight to the eaves of the second floor along the courtyard wall of the Jianghu Inn, and then took a few quick steps along the ridge, and then turned over and got into the window on the third floor.
For the Jianghu Inn, I am very familiar with it, the whole inn has only two connected but not connected buildings, roughly enclosing a semicircle. The front building has only two floors, the first floor is a guest hall and the second floor is a private room. The back building is all guest rooms, the first floor is the ground number, the second floor is the person number, and the third floor is the sky number.
Each room only has a window on the back garden side, except for the Tianzi No. 1 room. Because it is on the corner, not only is the room more spacious, but there is also an extra window on the wall facing the main street. And the "Xiao Mu" just now entered the room through that windowβββ Mu Niangzi's room!
"Brother Jianghu, little Muta...... He knows martial arts! Wang Jiajia had been waiting silently to listen to us, and was taken aback when she saw Xiao Mu suddenly flying: "Also, what did you mean by what you just said to him?" β
I looked up at the crooked moon: "It's nothing, what happened just now, don't tell it, it's dark, let's go back quickly." β
β¦β¦
A few days passed, and I still didn't wait for Xiao Mu's farewell. That "Xiao Mu" didn't know if he brought my words, they really had a comparison, they were all so unreliable.
"Brother Jianghu, let me come, I see that you have been restless these days, are you too tired at night and haven't rested well?" Song Erlang asked, with a wicked smile.
"Say what? Be careful that I deduct your wages! I realized what he meant, smiled and swung my fist at it.
"Hey, I finally have a little bit of the momentum of the owner, hey, the owner, when will the wages be settled? I'm still waiting to save money to marry a daughter-in-law. Song Erlang bumped me with his elbow, smiling all over his face.
I walked over to the cabinet and pulled open the drawer: "How much do you want?" Take it yourself. β
Song Erlang frowned: "That's it, give it to me, what else do you use to buy soybeans, rice and vegetables?" β
I looked at the full house of guests and whispered: "It's been half a month, and there is an endless stream of people who come to eat bean curd every day, but a bowl of bean curd is only two copper plates, isn't it too cheap?" In addition, they bought a few pieces of tofu and ate a few bean cakes by the way, but they still couldn't sell them for a few dollars. β
"You want to raise the price?"
I hesitated: "What if no one comes when the price goes up?" β
"That'...... Is there a solution? β
I looked to the east and said, "Do you want to learn from the Jianghu Inn?" Their clear soup noodles sell a lot of money, but they don't rely on this to make money at all, but rely on clear soup noodles to attract popularity. If you don't believe me, you go out into the street and ask: Where is there an inn nearby? Make sure everyone gives you directions to the Jianghu Inn. That's called business. β
"What do you mean...... Let's get the fame of Douhua out first, as long as someone asks: What do you want to eat? The other person can reply: just eat bean curd, it's delicious and cheap. As a result, when I came into the store, I saw that we had other good things, and I couldn't help but continue to dig into my pockets? β
I covered my mouth and smiled, "Okay?" β
"That's great, hehehe." Song Erlang said happily: "When it closes later, I'll go around and see where those who sell cheese, sour plum soup, loquat dew, and Sanle pulp are all purchased, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and there will be many people drinking these things at that time!" β
"Okay, if it works, I'll make you the shopkeeper when the time comes." I let out the words, and suddenly I felt that I was not far from getting rich.
"Little Er, check out." A table of guests shouted.
"Oh, thank you, the guest officer, go slowly, come back next time." I took the copper plate and sent the two guests to the door.
Like Ah Wu, no matter how high or low the status of the guest is, no matter how many copper plates the guest consumes, they all hold him like a bodhisattva, because what some people want is this feeling of respect.
I looked at the glittering signboard, and then at the endless flow of people, and finally my eyes fell on the alley between the inn and the Jianghu Inn.
This alley can be seen from the window of Tianzi No. 1 room, as for Ah Wu, they helped hang the red rope and asked Xiao Mu to show up, it was all Xiao Mu's trickery.
I looked at the copper plates I had just gotten in my hand, and saw that no one cared about me, so I quickly went into the alley, walked five steps from the mouth of the alley, found a loose floor tile against the base of the wall, and put down a copper plate.
Xiao Mu, I'll try again today, see how long it will take for you to find out that I'm calling you, see if you dare to see me again, I thought secretly in my heart, with the grievance and unwillingness to be deceived.
"What's the matter with me? Aren't you busy in the store? Someone asked.
Listening to the familiar voice, I turned around excitedly, and saw that Xiao Mu had just picked up my copper plate, rubbed the ashes on the gray robe, and casually put it into the silver-white cloth bag that was carried cross-body on his shoulder.
"Brother Mu!" I looked at his handsome face, especially his eyes that resembled Mu Niangzi, and for a while, the complaints in my heart disappeared.
"Why does the same moon feel different every day? Have you figured this out? Xiao Mu asked, unfolded the paper fan, put it in front of his waist and slowly fanned, his back was against the courtyard wall of the Jianghu Inn, and his whole body leaned back, but I could still faintly feel that his abdomen was slightly blessed, and the whole clothes were supported a little tightly.
