The freshly pulled noodles were thrown into the pot, the chopsticks stirred and stirred, the lid was covered and smothered for a while, and then the steaming heat was lifted.

The noodle boss moved very smoothly, and after a while, the noodles were served on the table.

"Two, eat slowly!"

"Wait a minute."

Lin Dabao stopped and pointed to the bowl of noodles, "Boss, how much is a bowl of beef noodles?" ”

"Cents."

Looking at the two slices of beef floating on it, Lin Dabao was a little incredulous, "How much is the somen noodles?" ”

"One article."

"Then you pick off the beef on top, I want to eat somen noodles."

"Ah, this ......," the boss looked embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxiao tugged at Lin Dabao's sleeve and shouted at the boss: "It's okay, it's okay, I want beef, boss, go get busy!" ”

The noodle boss rubbed his hands, "That...... Can you pay the face money first? ”

Gu Xiaoxiao was immediately blessed to her heart, and she didn't think too much about it, she took out six copper plates from her belt and handed them out.

The noodle boss hurriedly shook it, saying that the noodles were finished and renewed for free.

Gu Xiaoxiao asked the noodle boss to hurry up, and then took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket and handed one pair to Lin Dabao.

"Eat it! After soaking the noodles for a long time, it should be lumped. ”

Lin Dabao looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, and it was a little difficult to speak, "Mother, our family doesn't have much money anymore, you ...... "You save some flowers."

Gu Xiaoxiao deliberately kept a straight face, "Hurry up and eat!" ”

Lin Dabao was forced to be obscene, picked up chopsticks and began to stir the noodles, and suddenly there were two more slices of beef in the bowl.

He was flattered, "Mother? ”

Gu Xiaoxiao sighed, "In the past few years, your father has been away, and I have been running to the Zhao family all day long, two treasures and three treasures, as well as four treasures and Xiaoxi, thanks to your brother taking care of ...... You've worked hard. ”

Lin Dabao's eyes were red, and he wiped his tears in embarrassment, after his father died, his mother became more and more disregarded for the family, in order to prevent this family from collapsing, he could only grit his teeth desperately, support this family, and try not to let his younger brothers and sisters starve to death.

Mother's words made him feel helpless and sad all these years as if he had an outlet.

Gu Xiaoxiao's hand patted the immature shoulder, if this family didn't have Lin Dabao, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago, and several children might even starve to death.

Although Lin Dabao is not very mentally mature, he still used his own methods to support his younger brother and sister and support the family.

She really admires it, because if it were her, she might not be able to do it.

"Let's eat noodles."

"Hmm!"

The two were eating noodles, and a table of guests came next to them, and they also ordered two bowls of noodles to eat.

"Huh! Have you heard? West Street is looking for people, and I heard that it is a young and vigorous man who wants to go to the dock to move things. ”

"The docks? There is no river in Qingyang Town, where is the wharf? ”

"Isn't there a wharf in Zhiqing County over the mountain, and the Tiger Head Commercial Bank is recruiting porters for their wharf, let's take a look later."

"Okay."

Young porter...... Lin Dabao looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with some emotion, but did not speak.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you want to go?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Okay, let's eat the noodles and take a look."

Walking to the West Street that the two men were talking about, there were many men gathered on the street, ranging from fifty or sixty years old to thirteen or fourteen.

All gathered in front of a richly decorated carriage, introducing themselves in a rambling manner, for fear of missing this opportunity to work.

I am afraid that there is no hope for this year's harvest, and if we don't find some work to do, the family will have to sit and wait for death.

A little dressed man stood under the front porch of the carriage and shouted, "All quiet! All of them are lined up, if it continues like this, our tiger head firm will leave immediately! ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene fell silent.

Everyone lined up consciously and orderly, Lin Dabao looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with excitement and expectation, "Mother......"

If she can be selected by the Tiger Head Trading House, the family will be able to have one more income and expenditure, even if the harvest in the field is not good, the mother does not need to pawn the tokens given to her by her father, and the younger brothers and sisters can also eat without starving and cold.

Looking at her like this, Gu Xiaoxiao really couldn't refuse, "Go ahead!" ”

With Gu Xiaoxiao's approval, Lin Dabao couldn't wait to run over and line up at the back of the line.

After glancing at the long queue over there, Gu Xiaoxiao explained a few words to Lin Dabao, and then walked towards the only pawn shop in the town.

Raised his legs and stepped into the pawn shop, only a small servant was busy there, and he didn't greet people when he saw them come in, and his expression was indifferent.

Counters taller than people, two-foot-wide windows, with window rails crossed above the windows.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised a silver hairpin, took it with both hands, and looked at it.

"Fifty copper plates."

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, did she bargain so hard?

The price given by the online supermarket is 500 copper plates, and on the silver jewelry, the estimated price of the first sale will be given.

The price of this silver hairpin is only one or two pieces of silver.

"I won't sell it, give me back the hairpin."

A cold snort sounded, and the silver hairpin returned to Gu Xiaoxiao's hand.

When Gu Xiaoxiao walked out with her legs raised, a small sound sounded in her ears.

"Price...... This...... You ...... press"

"No problem...... It's been a lot of comings these days...... Feel relieved... She'll ...... back."

She turned her head to look at the top of the pawn cabinet, where a man and a woman were facing each other, whispering, her eyes still glancing here.

There are people who are hard to get rich, and there are indeed people at any time.

As the two said, when the stomach is empty and there is no food, there are many people who come to pawn jewelry in exchange for silver.

Although this silver hairpin was picked from the head of a person she hated, she didn't hate money, so she didn't want to sell it cheaply.

Holding the hairpin in her arms, Gu Xiaoxiao walked around the alley, walked to a secluded place, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one.

I clicked on the online supermarket, selected some condiments and rapeseed oil for cooking, and bought 10 catties of corn and 15 catties of rice, as well as a strip of pork belly and a large piece of pork plate meat and a large pot.

The pot with a hole in the house, Gu Xiaoxiao had long been unpleasant, and she had to change it anyway today.

Stuffed it all into the back basket, put a cauldron on it, and carried it out of the alley.

When I came to West Street, there was a table at the front, and behind the table sat a man dressed like a butler, and there was a small servant standing next to it.

One question, one answer, one write.

The flow of people in the team was surging, and soon it was Lin Dabao's turn, he took a few steps forward with some nervousness, and stood there straight.

"Name."

"Lin Dabao."

"How old are the years?"

"Sixteen."

"Have you done it before?"

Asked this, Lin Dabao was a little apprehensive, "No, but I have a lot of strength and work fast!" ”

Hearing this, the butler who was sitting on the record glanced up, and then lowered his head again, as if he was focusing on recording something.

The housekeeper waved his hand, and the little servant understood, "You have been admitted, including food and lodging, and two sets of uniforms." I have to go to Zhiqing County this afternoon, can I go? ”
