Chapter 180: Water Mill Village

Ying Jing'er's lovelorn drunk, that is, this drunk is too cheap, and it only cost more than 200 yuan in total, a few boxes of beer bought in the supermarket outside, peanuts, pickled chicken feet, and a few packs of fun beans, very hasty, even the favorite cold pork head meat was not prepared, just in a few pokers, drunk five confusion.

The next day, as expected, something went wrong, when I got up, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, no headache, but the body was not very comfortable, the neck was a little stiff, and a missed call on the mobile phone, showing that it was called an hour ago, and it was the old boy Scareye called.

I called him back.

"Hey, Scarlet."

"Boss, I'm waiting for you at the gate of the riverside community."

"Waiting for more than an hour? Arrived so early? It's also to blame that I didn't tell you in advance, I drank a lot with a few guys last night, and I made a mistake today. ”

"It didn't take long for me to just walk around outside, and it was okay."

I took a breath, "You wait a little longer, I'll wash up and come out, let's go to the mutton restaurant for an early meal and then go over." ”

"Okay, boss."

After washing, I feel that the whole person is instantly refreshed, today's morning class can only be dropped, put on a thick coat and walked out of the gate of the community, Scar-Eye's car is parked on the side of the road, very conspicuous, it seems that a few guys on the hot spring villa like this kind of army-green off-road vehicle, Scar-Eye's own body shape is also very eye-catching at a glance.

handed over a cigarette, "Wait a long time, let's go, let's have a bowl of mutton rice noodles first, warm up." ”

"Okay, boss, I'll take you to a restaurant, the taste is absolutely authentic."

I looked at the old boy with a smile, "You can't be talking about the old chef's mutton restaurant, right?" ”

"Huh? Boss, do you know too? Have you been? ”

"I've been, basically in Liangcheng, people who like to eat mutton rice noodles in the cold season should find his home, the taste is really good, but sometimes I'm too lazy to run, a little far, and his family doesn't do takeout, so it's relatively troublesome, so now I eat a mutton rice noodles are full of ritual."

Scar-Eye smiled, "Actually, a store like his is really not suitable for takeout, they don't need to use takeout to increase their sales." ”

I nodded, "Yes, there are so many people, there is no need to use Meituan to lower your level, you have a bad reputation, how much you can do every day, how much you can sell, it's almost quantitative, even if you sell out, you don't pursue any sales, this kind of character is very good, if I start an early stall in the future, I can do this, and I will be chic." ”

Just like the beef restaurant I often go to, this mutton restaurant is located on the side of the paper mill, a bit similar to the form of the previous industrial park, relatively suburban, with their own self-built house as a shop, the house is very large, built more spacious and tall than the average shop, and the family is busy in it, and there are a few neighbors to help clean it.

Under the sun after the Spring Festival, it is warm and leisurely, and compared with the weather in the city, it is like a paradise.

I ordered two big bowls with Scareye, I didn't dare to add a hat, this kind of shop, the price is a part higher than the average early stall, but the amount is definitely a sincere amount, whether it is a piece of meat or rice noodles, it is full of ten, the soup is delicious, a big bowl down, the satisfaction is absolute.

Scareye pulled out a cigarette and handed me one, leaning lazily against the wall as he picked his teeth.

"Comfortable!"

"Let's go, talk while walking, and go see the old craftsman you recommended to me."

"Hehe, that's an absolute craftsman in our village, I didn't know anything before, I didn't think that a casting hoe, axe, or kitchen knife can have much ability, but as I get in touch with it outside, the more I understand, the more I feel that this old man is powerful."

The ignorant are fearless, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, these are probably all describeable, right? I thought. The car got on the highway, out of Liangcheng, it was not a holiday recently, and it seemed that I was very lucky not to catch up with the market day of the nearby town, so the road was smooth, and in less than an hour, the car drove into a village.

"This should be the Water Mill Village, right?"

"Yes, Liangcheng Shuimo Village, the old master lives there, that is the one, looking at the old two-story small bungalow, their family was the first to build a small bungalow in the village, at that time, doing some business in the village or something, be diligent, you can always make money, no matter how much."

"It is said that there are quite a few now, but my hometown doesn't want to build it, so I go to the big city for my children to buy a house."

"This is the same as all parents, there are many such families in our village, they are all the old two in their hometown, they have been frugal for a lifetime, they take out the money at once, give it to their children, and go to the big city to settle down, and the hometown is a lot deserted, only to see the investment, no return, even if they are fifty or sixty years old, they have to take care of their children."

Can you call them bastards? Changing places, you may not do better than others, the house is bought, but outside, the hometown saves a lifetime of thrift with the little money intercepted, what is enough? Isn't it enough to make a down payment? After buying a house, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, it was the mortgage and car loan that tied them up.

That kind of beehive-like house, more than 100 square meters, should a family of four or five or five or six people? How to live, maybe people who have lived in big cities for generations feel that they should take it for granted, and even enjoy it, but if you want the elderly who have lived in the countryside for most of their lives, they will definitely not be able to adapt to living in such a place.

They will be cramped and nervous, one after another high-rise buildings, layers of elevators, like a forest of steel pressing against them, almost making them breathless, in that kind of life, there is no disease and the whole disease.

Rural life is barren, but at least psychologically free, the feeling of stepping on the ground makes them feel at ease, out of the door is their own yard, that is their land, in their own land, no one will take care of what they do, let alone someone to point fingers, the parents of the older generation, they are not interested in the so-called prosperity of modern times.

They have never been to KTV and bars in their lives, and they don't have this kind of demand, and the dazzling array of things in the supermarket is not attractive to them.

What is the significance of the city to them? Traffic? Where are you going to do something? So much so that I need to have a request for transportation, medical care? This may be a problem, but it's definitely not that big.

For a while, my head was full of thoughts, thinking of the old people at home, and thinking of myself.

It is necessary to reproduce the village and the village of the year, even if it is not to make money, I want to let my parents' old age be spent in a lively way, so that those who have often come to visit the house will return to the village and return to their hometown, which is imperative!

"Boss, the place has arrived."

The car is parked on the side of the road at the door, this road is not wide, you can imagine how wide the road between villages and self-built houses can be.

"Yo, the dogs are back?"

Scar's face flushed, "Third aunt, why do you still call me by a nickname, don't I have a big name, besides, I'm grown up now, why do you still call me a nickname?" ”

"Who remembers the Daimyo, it's only been the New Year, why are you coming back?"

"Let's come back and find Master Zhang!"

"Lao Zhang? I don't think I've been out of the house today, so if you knock on it, you should still be at home. The aunt pulled a rattan chair and sat at the gate, her house and Master Zhang's house were opposite the door, but some of them were staggered.

She basked in the sun at the door, ate melon seeds, and didn't know how long she had been sitting, so what she said should still be credible.

Scar-Eye nodded, and I followed.

The iron door was hidden, and after a few taps of Scar's eyes, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside, no, he was older than a middle-aged man.

"Who? Come in, the door is not closed! ”

Scareye carefully pushed open the door and walked in with a smile, this old boy, with this attitude at the moment, it can be said that it is a complete 180-degree turn in Liangcheng, it turns out that he is like this in the village.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm me,!"

I followed, and at a glance I saw the man lying in the yard, this is a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his figure is more exaggerated than Scar's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that his face looked a little ugly, it is estimated that this body shape, when he was young, was definitely very popular with women of all ages in the village.

His face, pitted and dark, should be a pit left by his youth or something.

Most of them still have a little folliculitis or something, but now because of their age, these are all better, but the scars remain.

Propping himself up, looking at Scar's eyes, he was a little unangry and arrogant.

"Dog, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Zhang, this is my boss, he wants a sword in his hand, I think about it, this good sword is hard to find, what kind of goods are sold on the Internet now, where is it better than Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship, what you fight, take one out at will, it will crush them a few streets, so I will directly bring the boss to find you."

Come up and call him thirty-seven twenty-one, he directly touted it first, the expression on the man's face did not change, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't suppress his joy, he stood up, he was lame.

The position of the right leg should be a bit of a problem.

He looked at me, "You want a sword?" ”

I nodded, "Yes, Master Zhang, the kind used to play with the collection, just Scar... Dogan recommended you to me here, and we came over together. ”

"Playing? Will you have both hands? ”

"It's a little bit of a trick!"

He didn't care about this at all, he was originally an iron striker, maybe there was something that could not be inherited before, but in the end, everything needs to fall into the dust, and everything must return to reality.

"Yes, is there anything you want? Drawings and the like, my side is handmade, the cost will not be too low, it may be more expensive than the things you buy on the Internet, are you mentally prepared for this? ”

The appearance of handing over the money with one hand and delivering with the other hand does not seem to have the quirks of the so-called masters......
