Chapter 2: Mandrills
After buying the skin and the fox, it was already noon, so Ning Caichen found a restaurant and asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles to eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Who knew that Ning Caichen had just picked up the noodle bowl, and before he could eat, the little fox in his arms squeaked.
"Are you hungry too?" Seeing the little fox looking at the noodle bowl on the table, Ning Caichen shook his head and smiled.
Who knew that after the little fox stopped Ning Caichen's words, he nodded his little fluffy head like a human.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen was even more sure that the little fox was a spirit fox.
In desperation, Ning Caichen could only take out half of the noodles from the bowl and put them on the table for the little fox to eat.
Maybe he was hungry, but seeing Ning Caichen nodding at him, the little fox didn't care about the image of the spirit fox at all, jumped on the table, and devoured it.
Seeing that the little fox was eating so anxiously, Ning Caichen shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know that this hunter hasn't given the little fox food for a few days." But it's right to think about it, not to mention that this is just not a spirit fox, just to say that foxes are smart and cunning by nature, if they are full of water and food. I'm afraid it won't be long before I run away. ”
However, Ning Caichen is not afraid, not to mention that Ning Caichen is now eight points sure that the fox he saved is a spirit fox and will not escape at all. Because the spirit fox has been contaminated with immortal energy or has entered the road of seeking immortals, it is not as ignorant as ordinary beasts, and its spiritual intelligence is the same as that of people.
Even if the little fox in his arms was not a spirit fox, and he fled after eating and drinking, Ning Caichen would not be angry because of this, because Ning Caichen originally planned to save him and release him back into the mountains and forests.
Therefore, Ning Caichen did not take special care of the little fox, but ate it by himself.
A man and a fox gobbled up like no one in the restaurant.
The other guests who came to the restaurant to eat were amazed.
Soon, the bowl bottomed out, and the wooden table next to it was licked by the little fox several times.
It seems that neither this man nor the little fox have enough to eat. But there was no way, because Ning Caichen touched his pocket and found that there were only two cents left, just enough to pay for 10,000 Yangchun noodles.
So, Ning Caichen gently touched the little fox's head and said, "Little demon, we have no money, and if we eat again, we will give you to the store." ”
The little fox, who was still unsatisfied, heard Ning Caichen say that he was going to give himself to the store, and immediately changed into a vicious expression and grinned at Ning Caichen in protest, who knew that Ning Caichen was not afraid.
The little fox rolled his eyes in boredom and jumped into Ning Caichen's arms.
"Boss, check out. ”
"Okay, Ning Gongzi, there are two articles in total. "Ning Caichen has a reputation for showing off his talents, and he often came to this restaurant to eat before he got sick, so he is also familiar with this shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper put the money into the money bag, and then glanced at Ning Caichen, who was dressed in a tight suit, and asked, "Looking at the son's dress, are you looking for a job to do?"
Seeing the shopkeeper's question, Ning Caichen nodded and responded: "Yes, my mother is getting old, and I am getting old day by day, but I am young and strong, so I can't always let my mother support me, so I can find a job to supplement the family." ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper paused and asked: "But the son is a scholar, and he has a reputation for showing talent, isn't he afraid of people talking about irresponsible things when he goes out to find a buddy?"
"What's wrong with the reader, don't say that he is just a showman, that is, he should be the champion of the dynasty, and he should also know how to put filial piety first, if he can't even do the word filial piety, how can he be worthy of the sage books he once read. ”
"As for others to discuss, I can't control the mouth that grows on other people's bodies, all I can do is have a clear conscience. ”
"What a clear conscience!" After listening to Ning Caichen, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but light up, and at the same time he secretly said in his heart: "I heard someone say that Ning was seriously ill a few days ago, but I didn't expect that after this illness was cured, it was like a different person, although he was upright before, but he was a little more pedantic, but now looking at it, Ning Sheng has a more vigorous and heroic spirit." ”
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper already had an idea in his heart, thought for a while and said: "Since the son is pure and filial, I can't stand by and watch, as far as I know, the Wang family in the north of the city has recently been in the accounting room, five taels of silver per month, if the son thinks it is appropriate, he can help the son to introduce him." ”
After listening to the shopkeeper, Ning Caichen secretly pondered in his heart: "Five taels per month, according to the amount of food he used to eat, the offering in January can almost be used for half a year for his mother and son, but now he has to cultivate the Pure Yang Refining God Sutra, and the amount of food is more than five times that of the past, and he also has to replenish meat from time to time, according to this cost, it can almost support two months, so there is still a surplus after a month." ”
Thinking of this, Ning Caichen got up and waved to the shopkeeper and said, "Then Caichen thank the shopkeeper first." ”
Seeing Ning Caichen saluting himself, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help Ning Caichen up and said: "Where is the son, he can help the son, but it is a blessing in the bottom, if the son doesn't mind, you can call me Zhang Zhi in the future, but the shopkeeper is a little rusty." ”
Zhang Zhi traveled to the north when he was young, and was taught the art of physiognomy by a master, and he was quite accomplished. As early as when Ning Caichen came to the restaurant for the first time, Zhang Zhi noticed Ning Caichen, but although Ning Caichen had a noble face at that time, he was not angry.
Therefore, the qi could not be suppressed, not only would he not be rich but would be riddled with calamities, so soon after, Ning Caichen had a serious illness.
And today, Zhang Zhi looked at Ning Caichen again, but found that Ning Caichen's spirit was like a bull fight, straight into the sky. This kind of bearing, even if the face is poor, can also enter the cold door. Moreover, Ning Caichen already has a noble face, and the combination of the two can be said to be indescribably expensive, if there is an opportunity, it is even possible to sit facing south.
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhi took the initiative to talk and took the initiative to lower his status just now.
Seeing Zhang Zhiqian's concession, Ning Caichen was not polite, turned around and returned to his original seat, and at the same time beckoned Zhang Zhidao: "Since Brother Zhang said so, then Caichen is not welcome, and he will be called Brother Zhang in the future." ”
Seeing Ning Caichen return to his original seat without seeing anything, Zhang Zhi not only did not get angry, but felt that Ning Caichen had the bearing of a superior.
"It's good if Childe thinks it's appropriate. ”
After Zhang Zhi finished speaking, he suddenly heard a 'cooing' sound. When he looked up, he saw Ning Caichen looking at him with an embarrassed expression, and he suddenly realized.
Hurriedly summoned the guys in the store to re-serve a few specialty dishes to Ning Caichen.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen was a little embarrassed and excused himself: "Brother Zhang is so gracious, but he makes the younger brother a little embarrassed." ”
Zhang Zhi heard the words but said: "Zhang Zhi has nothing else, but this meal is still available, Caichen called me Brother Zhang, how can I make my brother hungry." ”
I couldn't help but say it, and I went to the back kitchen to urge him.
After a while, Ning Caichen's table was full of delicacies.
Zhang Zhi sat down and drank two glasses with Ning Caichen, then got up and said, "Caichen drink first, and my brother will go to explore the Wang family's style for you first, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Although I don't know why Zhang Zhi suddenly became so enthusiastic, in Ning Caichen's memory, Zhang Zhi is still quite good, and besides, he and his mother have no money and power, and Zhang Zhi wants to have nothing.
And as long as you light the lamp of life and embark on the road of seeking immortals, ordinary mortals can't harm themselves.
So Ning Caichen was not worried, and thanked him: "Then Caichen will thank Brother Zhang." ”
Zhang Zhi returned the salute, then turned and hurried away.
Seeing Zhang Zhi leaving, Ning Caichen picked up the chopsticks again and ate them, but before he moved the chopsticks, he saw a white light flash in front of him, and then a small fluffy thing appeared on the table.
What is not a little fox?
It turned out that Zhang Zhi was sitting on the table just now, and the little fox was afraid of life, so he didn't dare to come out, and at this time Zhang Zhi left, and the little fox couldn't hold back anymore and jumped out of Ning Caichen's arms.
Looking at the cute little guy, Ning Caichen shook his head helplessly and said: "I want to practice qi and blood, so the amount of food has increased greatly, but you little guy is an authentic foodie." ”
Hearing Ning Caichen say that he was a foodie, the little fox actually waved his paw in the air as if he was protesting.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen laughed happily, and at the same time took out some dishes for the little fox from the bowl on the table.
The little fox waved his paw at Chongning Caichen, who was satisfied, and then ate it regardless of the image.
About a cup of tea, Zhang Zhi returned from outside. But his face was much darker.
When he came to Ning Caichen, he sat down and said, "Alas, I just went to the Wang family and asked about recruiting the account room, but who knew that the housekeeper of the Wang family actually said that he would not recruit for the time being." ”
"No moves?" Although Ning Caichen had already guessed the result when he saw Zhang Zhi's face, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart when he heard Zhang Zhi speak, but because he had practiced Qi cultivation kung fu to the level of innocence with the old Taoist priest in his previous life, he couldn't see any frustration on his face.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhi glanced at Ning Caichen, and saw that Ning Caichen was not depressed because of this, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart, and his originally gloomy mood was much better.
"I heard the housekeeper outside the Wang family say that after the young master of the Wang family came back from the last trip to Erlong Mountain, he couldn't afford to be sick, and the whole person was like a demon, talking to himself all day long, and he was losing weight day by day, and now he was already skinny.
In order to cure Young Master Wang's illness, Master Wang has invited a famous doctor within a radius of dozens of miles, but just seeing the medicine, the disease has not improved in the slightest, I heard that the young master of the Wang family has not eaten much in the past two days, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not last this month. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhi sighed and said
"The Wang family is just such a lone seedling, if there are three long and two short, the sky of the Wang family will fall, you say that at this time, how can the Wang family still have the heart to ask for the account. ”
After Zhang Zhi finished speaking, he saw that Ning Caichen was silent, thinking that Ning Caichen was sad because of the loss of his job opportunity, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Caichen, don't be too sad, although this Wang family can't go, but the business of this restaurant for my brother is also quite passable, if Caichen doesn't mind, go to the building for my brother to make an account room first, and the money will be shown to you according to the account room of the Wang family?"
Ning Caichen lost his mind, but not because he lost the opportunity to become the Wang family's accountant, but because he felt that the young master of the Wang family's illness was a little strange.
At this time, seeing that Zhang Zhi had misunderstood himself, he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, the reason why I was silent just now was not because I was thinking about whether I could become the Wang family's account office, but because I was thinking about the strange illness of the young master of the Wang family!"
"The strange illness of the young master of the Wang family, could it be that Caichen is still proficient in medical skills?" After listening to Ning Caichen's words, Zhang Zhi said with a surprised face.
"The medical skills will be there, but they are so good that they can't talk about it, but I don't think this matter of the young master of the Wang family has anything to do with illness!"
"Nothing to do with illness?" asked Zhang Zhi with wide eyes.
"yes, I think it's probably related to mandrills. ”
"Mandrills?"
