Jiao Hao smiled slightly, showed a big gold tooth, and walked into the hook bar.

Beiping Ju, it is not easy, his own life is also bitter, his father and mother left early, leaving himself to grow up in the alleys of Beiping, did not learn any skills, and finally could only open a hook bar to make a living.

Most of the people who come to Goolan to make a living are poor people, and occasionally there are foreign opera troupes coming in to perform, so where can the level of the troupe come to Goolan to go? Jiao Hao has been so up-to-date all these years, and the basic food and clothing are no problem, but as soon as he goes out to tell others that he has opened a hook bar, he will usher in many strange eyes.

Goulan is opened in the south of the city, and most of the people living around are ordinary civilians, and the money that can be paid is not much, and the fee of Goulan will naturally be reduced, only five cents, you can enter Goulan to find a place to sit down, listen to the actors on the stage babbling and singing, or come out of an old man to talk about Erhu.

Snacks and food are naturally not available, and the rich lord does not come to the hook column, unless some idlers have some spare money, so they can pay dozens of dollars more to sit on the side, and a sip of wine and a sip of snacks and dishes provokes the envy of others.

The structure of the whole hook bar is also very simple, the front is a big shed, all around are covered with cloth, into the middle of the shed is a high platform, there are some dense chairs below, over the high platform is the backstage of the hook bar, mostly for the drama storyteller to prepare the place.

Jiao Hao lifted the cloth hanging from the door and walked in, squinted his eyes, and saw the drama on stage clearly.

It's still the same old-fashioned, the love story that the folk love to hear, the champion prince threw away his wife and married the daughter of the family, and finally ended up ruining his career, and these civilians love to watch, and most of the champions who really do it are better than before.

He walked backstage, and the troupe members along the way greeted him respectfully, and he responded with a smile on his big gold teeth.

No, no, this gold tooth is the last belongings all over the body, or it was filled with a tooth that was lost when I was fighting on the streets, and I didn't have the idea of beating it when I was the hardest in these years.

An old man in the backstage greeted him, a little worried: "Class master, you can count it as coming, the troupe from other places is asking for money, and it has affected the stage." ”

Jiao Hao raised his eyebrows: "Want money?" I haven't been acting for half a month, what money do I want? ”

There was a commotion again, and he walked over, only to hear the head of the troupe straight: "... How can you not give money? We're acting! You have to give one day to act, ten days is just the same, we don't want much, just give it and leave! ”

Jiao Hao walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder: "Class Master Chen, why has the half-moon end of the performance that he said at the beginning, why has it changed now?" are all people who beg for life, and they won't be missing you, but they are going to leave today at your point? So what about the five days left? ”

Seeing that the main master was coming, the head of the Chen class lowered his momentum: "The master of the Jiao class is also a bright person, let's just say it directly, there are villages outside the city to invite us over, the price is much higher than yours, and it will be a little more money if you delay for one more day, so many people in the troupe have so many mouths, I can't squat here, right?" Just a few days in advance, isn't it enough to settle the money? ”

Jiao Hao's face did not change: "The settlement of money is a small matter, but it can be vacated for five days, what should I do with this hook?" ”

Class Master Chen sneered: "Then it's not our business!" The money is fixed today, if you don't give it..."

He looked around: "Don't blame us for making a fuss!" ”

Jiao Hao held back his anger and was about to speak, when a figure walked over and took out a piece of broken silver: "That's all." ”

Chen took the silver and turned it upside down, almost the weight of one tael, and was about to make a fuss again, when he saw that the person who gave the silver hung his head slightly, thinking that everyone was a hard-working person, he simply sighed and hugged his fist and said goodbye.

Jiao Hao looked at the person who came and smiled bitterly: "What are you doing for him?" They are not taking care of it. ”

The stunning woman in a white cotton dress shook her head slightly, her mountain-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and her extremely delicate face was a little lonely: "It's not easy." ”

"It's not easy for us, where are the people who pity us? This tick bar... I'm afraid I won't be able to drive it. ”

"Don't say that, class master, you can always think of a way."

Jiao Hao sighed: "When I bought this hook column, your mother was still there, and now you have become such a big girl, the hook column is still half dead, Liu Lao is right to say something... The world has changed, it is time to change for a living, there is no story of the hook column, what to use to attract guests? ”

He touched a strand of white hair on his sideburns: "I'm also old, I went to the tooth shop yesterday, this hook has been hung out, wait until it is sold, divide the silver into a penny, and ask for a way to live." ”

The woman who had been hanging her head finally raised her face, her eyes seemed to be a little bad, her pupils were slightly dilated, but they fell straight on Jiao Hao's face: "The class wants to sell the hook bar?" ”

"If someone takes over, they will naturally sell it, smoke and ink... It's time to let go. ”

The woman lowered her head again, and after a while, a somewhat muffled voice came out: "I'll buy it." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll buy it."

Jiao Hao frowned: "Yanmo, Uncle Jiao knows that you miss the old, this hook fence is where you grew up, and it is also where your mother walks, you are reluctant, Uncle Jiao understands, but this hook fence will drag people to death!" With your appearance, is it okay to marry a good family and enjoy Qingfu? Guarding this fence, you won't be able to survive a good life. ”

“... Please also ask Uncle Jiao to be lenient for some time, Rong Yanmo to save some silver, and it will not be difficult for Uncle Jiao. ”

"You... Alas! After all, he knew the temperament of the woman in front of him, who seemed to be weak, but in fact admitted death, Jiao Hao stomped his foot heavily and turned out of the hook bar.

The old man listened to it for a long time, and his face was a little sad: "Smoke and ink... In fact, it is also a good thing to sell it. ”

"Liu Lao, let's talk to the people in the hook column, the hook column will not fall," the woman tilted her head slightly, and laughed as if to make some dark hook columns glow: "I have written a lot of stories these days, although I don't write well, but I have found some tricks, and it will get better in the future." ”

She pursed her lips: "My mother also left some jewelry, I asked Xiaoyu to find a pawn shop to be a pawnbroker, it won't delay the monthly money, Liu Lao can reassure everyone." ”

"Smoke and ink... Why should you..."

"It's worth it after all," the woman turned to the curtain, as if she could see the stage behind it, and the guests below, "something... I can't bear it. ”

"Just be willful once."
