Chapter Fifty-Eight: Doing Small Jobs

When Jing Ming got home, it was already completely dark.

This young man is now so angry that he saw a stone on the ground that resembled a dog lying on his stomach, and kicked it in anger, and his body was strengthened after the martial arts star, although his toes were in close contact with the stone, although he didn't hurt to eat and grin, but only Jing Ming knew whether his toes were comfortable or not, and judging from the obvious cramps in his legs after kicking, it was estimated that it still hurt a little.

Today, Jing Ming can be described as a big memorization.

All the rouge gouache bought to please Miss Su, but I didn't think that it had not been carried to her, it all became a ball of colorful cakes, after repelling the mysterious boy from Kangyan, Jing Ming took off the package on his back, and his good-looking appearance was broken everywhere, if the tragic situation was only like this, then Jing Ming might be able to rejoice a little, after all, there are still clothes, God is killing it is that Jing Ming used his clothes to wrap cosmetics in order to save trouble, and the cosmetics were broken, and the clothes also suffered.

At this moment, the boy found that the lipstick was still perfect, this thing was worth twenty taels of silver, maybe it could please Miss Su, and he reached out to pick it up with joy, but as soon as the boy lifted the lipstick, it broke into two, and it fell on the clothes and rolled, crawling out of the rolling traces.

The fragrance of the general's mansion slipped out.

Jing Ming, who looked sluggish, was suddenly shocked, it seems that this should be braised chicken with the fragrance, and with the rich fragrance, Miss Su, who has always been lazy, is cooking by herself again this time.

pondered: 'This old couple is strange, they have quarreled in the past, and they have reconciled after the quarrel, but they have never been so affectionate today, could it be that Lao Zhang's second spring has arrived. ’

Jing Ming took the only ten taels of silver left in his arms, this is the last belongings, what can he do?

"I'm back," the boy shouted, and walked in.

The time to come back is definitely more punctual than pinching the point, when I went in, Lao Zhangtou just served a large bowl of braised chicken to the table, and saw the young man with a dirty face, so he naturally had to bury a few words, and said: "What are you doing this day, biting the dog?"

Jing Ming's clothes were torn in many places, and the scratches of the animals were obvious, especially the dog hair left by the fight with the big dog was still stuck to his back.

What is this honor if it is not chased by dogs?

At this time, Miss Su also came out of the kitchen, the old grandmother pursed her lips, finally didn't laugh, pointed to the pool, and said, "I've been running for so long, I must be hungry, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”

Jing Ming finished washing his hands and went into the house to change his clothes.

The young man was about to put the belongings in the room, that is, the ten taels of silver, and when he was about to put them down, he had an idea, hid the silver in the cuffs that were easy to fall, and left the room happily, looking like two people with the same face as the one who had just cried and mourned.

It's really strange that Miss Su has a good relationship with Old Man Zhang.

In the past, there was no nod from Miss Su, and the old Zhang Tou definitely didn't drink, but now the sun came out in the west, and it was actually Miss Su who poured a bowl of wine for him, and the old man Zhang also showed great gratitude, and the bowl of wine was divided into several times and drank it all over time, and the old face with an intoxicated expression was shining.

Jing Ming picked out a chicken leg from the bottom of the bowl and took a bite, the soup at the bottom of the bowl was rich, and the already flavorful chicken was adding a fragrant and smooth soup, which was delicious and suddenly a level higher.

Lao Zhangtou took the chicken leg out of the bottom of the bowl from the young man, picked it up, put it into the bowl, and stared at the whole action meticulously, almost saying directly with his mouth: 'This piece of meat is mine, who made you move?'

has lived with someone like Lao Zhang for a long time, and his face is definitely thick enough.

The young man was calm and calm throughout the whole process, not only eating with peace of mind, but also very comfortable.

Lao Zhang couldn't help it, and said: "Boy, do you know how expensive this chicken is, it's a tael of silver, half of your chopsticks are gone, old man, I carried sandbags for a day to earn such a little money, and you ate it alone." ”

It turned out that this sumptuous dinner had no other meaning, but the old man who had been lying at home waiting for the general's relief finally got his senses at this time, went to the dock and carried a sandbag, and at the end of the day, he earned two or three taels of silver.

Although the money is not much, when handing over the day's revenue to Miss Su, this grandmother, who often doesn't give Lao Zhang a good face, is not happy at this time, she doesn't cook such a good dish herself.

This point, when the boy entered the house, he had already guessed a little when he saw the dirty clothes hanging on the shelves.

After listening to Lao Zhang, I immediately understood everything, it turned out that Lao Zhang was making money.

When the young man saw Miss Su bowing his head to eat, he lifted the chopsticks, the action was a little bigger, and the silver in the cuffs suddenly couldn't stop falling, afraid of making a sound to alarm Miss Su, the young man caught the silver with his foot, stretched forward a little, and put down the silver at Lao Zhang's feet.

Lao Zhangtou was stunned for a moment, not knowing what mystery the boy was playing, and wondering if this kid's brain was broken by the dog.

Suddenly, the young man exclaimed and said, "Lao Zhang, why did you drop ten taels of silver on the ground?"

Lao Zhang, who was stunned, suddenly came back to his senses, bent over to pick up the money, and then naturally handed it over to Miss Su, and said with a blushing face and a heartbeat: "Daughter-in-law, I just forgot, the foreman saw that I did two personal jobs alone, and specially rewarded me with ten taels of silver, you put it away, and go to the street tomorrow to buy a new dress." ”

Miss Su took the money with a smile and said, "Good..."

At this time, she was full, stood up and went back to the room, and specially advised: "Lao Zhang, you have to carry sandbags and work hard, so keep the dishes and chopsticks for me to clean up." ”

Lao Zhang, who loved his wife and felt sorry for his heart, suddenly burst into tears, with Miss Su's words, even if he was carrying ten bags of sandbags in one breath, he was not too bitter or tired, and he swore in his heart that he must make more money and let his daughter-in-law buy the best clothes, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm done." ”

Miss Su pursed her lips and smiled and went back to her room.

Lao Zhangtou was eating chicken, and he couldn't be intoxicated.

Jing Ming poked his neck to confirm that Miss Su would not come out for a while, he slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and Lao Zhang, who was biting the chicken bones, almost choked, he rolled his eyes with hatred, and said, "Boy, what the hell?"

Jing Ming had a mysterious smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "I have a way to make money, do you do it? It's much easier than carrying sand, and the most important thing is that the money comes quickly." ”

"No," as Jing Ming expected, the old man refused directly.

Jing Ming didn't give up and said, "Lao Zhang, do you know how much the most expensive clothes cost?"

At this time, Lao Zhang was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question yet, it was directly related to how many bags of sand he needed to carry, and subconsciously asked, "How much?"

Today's day's experience finally has the capital to show off, Jing Ming stretched out his palm, stretched out his five fingers, and said, "Guess?"

Lao Zhangtou originally wanted to guess five taels, but seeing the young man's pride, he felt that he had to guess bigger, and said, "Fifty taels...."

Jing Ming raised his eyelids, pressed his palm heavily, and said, "Five hundred taels, I heard that this is not the best." ”

Lao Zhang froze again, carrying a bag of sand is only ten lines of money, how many bags of sand do you have to get for five hundred taels, this old man who is not very bright in his brain suddenly became even more inspired, he only knows one result, he needs to carry many bags, many bags of sand, it takes a lot of time.

At this time, the young man turned his face and lowered his head to eat, a big bowl of rice went down, not to mention how comfortable his stomach was, he was already full, put away the chicken bones on the table, and said, "I'm full, Lao Zhang, you eat slowly." ”

Just as he was about to get up, Lao Zhang held the young man down and said, "Slow, you let me think about it." ”

"What do you want?" Jing glanced at him, and said, "What do you want to do that can make a lot of money?" My path is absolutely reliable," he pointed to the palace, implying that the emperor was in the background, and said: " In the past few days, a gladiatorial arena will be opened in the city, with your old man's wrist, when the time comes, you will be the leader of the guards, not to mention that you can earn fifty or sixty taels a day, or you can change a few body clothes for Miss Su in a few days, you are not ashamed of this man, this is almost July, Miss Su still turned out the summer clothes she bought last year and washed and worn, man, work hard, you can be shabby, but you can't let your wife follow you shabby, right?"

In the end, the young man did not forget to say seriously: "Lao Zhang, you really should make more money." ”

At the end, the boy did not forget to put forward his own conditions, said: "If nothing else, I will be one of the bosses of the gladiatorial arena, as long as I say hello, I can arrange for you to work, if you perform well in the future, the year-end bonus of the full attendance award is not what I look at to give, of course, all this can not be given to you in vain, the conditions are very simple, as long as your old man helps me to win the first place in this Qingjiao competition, everything is negotiable." ”

What Jing Ming said earlier, Lao Zhang listened very attentively.

From the mention of the conditions, the old man was absent-minded, this is not that he did not agree to the young man, but his mind is full of happy pictures of making money and handing over the money to Miss Su, as long as Miss Su can be happy, how about teaching Jing Ming, a bastard martial arts.

At this moment, Jing Ming was very patient, holding the bowl and waiting, waiting for Lao Zhangtou to reply.

Lao Zhangtou thought for a long time, mainly thinking about when he could get the best clothes, and after a long time, he said: "It's not impossible to pass on your martial arts, so let's go to the academy with you tomorrow, which can be regarded as a field trip, to see the ability of young people now, and to teach them according to their aptitude, after the academy is over, take me to the gladiatorial arena to see, oh.... By the way, I don't want you more, sixty taels of silver a day, remember to settle the fee at the end of tomorrow, I think it's better to settle the day, so that the account is just wrong. ”
