There are some things that you will regret when you say them, and when you don't say them, you can't help but want to say them, but when you say them, you find that they are not good.

Xiong Yu felt this way now, and he suddenly regretted saying this, because as soon as he saw Old Man Gan's appearance, he knew that this question was in vain.

Old man Gan is just a restaurant worker, while Fan Xiuwen is a huge rich man with business all over the country, not to mention that the two can't be beaten, even if they add two poles, they may not be related.

Xiong Yu immediately got up as soon as he said this, he didn't intend to listen to Old Man Dong's answer at all, because he knew that Old Man Dong couldn't answer this question either.

Just as Xiong Yu got up, Old Man Dong suddenly took a breath and said, "Are you talking about that successful businessman Fan Xiuwen?"

Xiong Yu sat down immediately before he could stand firm and said, "What? do you know this person?"

Old man Gan nodded and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many people who don't know him." ”

Xiong Yu immediately asked, "What do you know about Fan Xiuwen?"

Old man Gan glanced at Xiong Yu and said, "What are you asking for? Do you also want to be a successful businessman?"

Xiong Yu pretended not to care and said, "I'm just asking, I heard that he has come to the capital in the past few days." ”

Old man Gan nodded and said: "Fan Xiuwen is not a simple person, it is said that the silver in his family is as high as a hill, and I have heard that his business is all over the country, but you can see Fan Xiuwen's shop wherever you go, he is really a great businessman." ”

Xiong Yu listened to these very patiently, but found that there was nothing that Old Man Gan said that he wanted to hear, Xiong Yu said with some reluctance: "That's all you know?"

Old man Gan said with a disgusted face: "How do you speak, if you know more than me, why do you still come to ask me and tell you, that is, I know so much, if you are someone else, you will ask this question in vain." ”

Xiong Yu smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand." ”

Old man Gan picked up the dry cigarette and took a sharp breath and said: "But there is one thing you said is right, Fan Xiuwen has indeed arrived in the capital, it is said that this time Fan Xiuwen brought a full five carriages of gold, it seems that this time Fan Xiuwen is going to make a big deal." ”

Xiong Yu frowned and said suspiciously, "How do you know this?"

Old man Gan raised his eyes and said: "What are you talking about, kid, I'm a dignified old man Gan, I know a lot of things, do I have to tell you one by one, jokes." ”

Xiong Yu laughed and said, "Okay, I know you're an amazing character." ”

As soon as Xiong Yu's voice fell, the old man yawned and said: "It's lunch break, you'd better find a place to sleep, because there will be countless bowls and plates in half an hour, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." ”

Xiong Yu sighed and suddenly asked, "Old man Gan, how old are you this year?" ”

Old man Gan thought for a while and said, "If I remember well, I will be sixty-four in two months." ”

Xiong Yu was a little surprised: "How did you persist in working in this place for fourteen years? You have been working from the age of fifty to the present, won't you get tired of it?"

Old man Gan shook his head, and Xiong Yu was puzzled, "You like to do this?"

Old man Gan's face suddenly showed an elusive look, and Old Man Gan said lightly: "Boredom is something that only those who have silver on them can do, I am a poor man, I can do very little and pitifully, sometimes you have no choice, you have no choice because you have no choice." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Dong's emotions were a little excited, he paused and continued: "I came here when I was fifty years old, it is difficult for a fifty-year-old person to have a place, not to mention that I still have a family to support, I can still get a few taels of silver a month to live on this, if I don't do this, I will starve to death, do you think I can get tired of it?"

Xiong Yu was silent, he suddenly found that life was so helpless, and now he seemed to understand a kind of human life, the life of ordinary people, and this life was also something he had never experienced and understood.

Xiong Yu's life has been spent in the sword, killing, revenge, evading pursuit, these words seem to be closely related to his life, he will often drink, drink good wine, he will never worry about a few taels of silver, but now it is different, he saw the old man Gan, and he slowly had a deeper feeling for the word life.

At this moment, Xiong Yu is thinking, if I am Old Man Gan, can I also be like Old Man Gan?

Xiong Yu's sudden silence made Old Man Gan a little uncomfortable, Old Man Gan had already seen something from Xiong Yu's face, Old Man Gan looked at Xiong Yu with a dry cough and said, "You don't have to worry, you are still young, young people will always break out of their own world." ”

Xiong Yu listened to Old Man Gan's words and smiled faintly: "If there is a chance, I will definitely invite you to drink and drink good wine." ”

Old man Gan looked at Xiong Yu's current appearance, Xiong Yu's clothes were now stained with vegetable soup and greasy, and Old Man Gan laughed and said, "I'll wait." ”

Old man Gan was right, after half an hour, countless bowls and plates were piled up in front of Xiong Yu, and Xiong Yu could only see bowls and plates in his sight, and he couldn't see anything else.

Xiong Yu took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "This is only temporary, just get through these few days." ”

With continuous urging and scolding, Xiong Yu finally washed the bowls and plates in front of him, and Xiong Yu's back was almost the same as that of the old man Gan on this trip, Xiong Yu got up and straightened his back, and the sound of bones immediately sounding behind him.

Old man Gan looked at Xiong Yu's appearance and smiled: "You look like me at the age of fifty now." ”

Xiong Yu smiled and said, "I don't want to work here until I am sixty years old. ”

Old man Gan pushed open the window, looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time, it's time to eat." ”

Xiong Yu looked at the darkening sky and said, "Dinner time?"

Old man Gan nodded and said, "Today's business has been done, you can go to eat and rest now." ”

Xiong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know what dinner will be, whether there will be wine or not." ”

Old man Dong smiled and said, "I bet you won't like it." ”

Two hot steamed buns, a pot of stewed cabbage, the chef in charge of the spoon will give everyone a palm-sized bowl, the small bowl is filled with stewed cabbage, there is almost no oil and water in the cabbage, stewed cabbage tastes no taste, Xiong Yu is really difficult to swallow, he looked at the old man Gan who was eating on the side and said, "Are you still hungry?" ”

Old man Gan put the steamed bun in his hand into his arms and said, "I know that you can't get used to eating this meal, if you can't get used to it, give it to me, and when you are hungry, you will naturally rush to eat it." ”

Xiong Yu pushed the small bowl in front of Old Man Gan and said, "You make so many things every day, but they give you these?"

Old man Gan took a bite of the steamed bun and muttered: "In today's world, selling hard and hard work is the least valuable, I happen to have a little bit of these two points, what else do you think I can eat?"

Xiong Yu's mood was suddenly a little low, he got up and walked out, Old Man Gan looked at Xiong Yu's back and said, "Where are you going?"

Xiong Yu turned his head and smiled, "I'll go out for a walk." ”

Xiong Yu slowly walked out of the back kitchen and walked to the backyard of De Yixuan, there were torches still lit in the backyard, Xiong Yu looked up and saw Da Zhuang, only to see Da Zhuang and those big men sitting on the table eating, Xiong Yu glanced at Da Zhuang's food, braised pork, braised pig's trotters, and a plate of peanuts, and there was a jar of daughter red on the table.

Da Zhuang also seemed to notice Xiong Yu, as soon as Da Zhuang saw Xiong Yu, he immediately ate more fragrant and faster, he ate a mouthful of braised pork and drank a mouthful of daughter red, and after doing this, he didn't forget to laugh at Xiong Yu a few times, all this seemed to be deliberately done by Da Zhuang for Xiong Yu to see.

Xiong Yu was suddenly a little hungry, he turned around and left, he strode back to the back kitchen, stood in front of Old Man Gan, grabbed the steamed bun he had put down just now, and ate it.

Old man Gan looked at Xiong Yu and said, "Are you willing to eat these again?"

Xiong Yu didn't look at Old Man Gan, he said while eating: "I'm hungry, I have to eat when I'm hungry, isn't this normal." ”

Old man Gan laughed and said, "Come, I still have stewed cabbage here, and it's not comfortable to eat steamed buns." ”

Xiong Yu immediately ate the stewed cabbage in the old man's hand, and he ate it quickly and fragrantly, as if he was not eating stewed cabbage, but braised pork.

Old man Gan looked at Xiong Yu intently, his eyes suddenly showed a curious look, he suddenly felt that Xiong Yu was a very interesting person, he always felt that Xiong Yu was a little different, but the specific difference Old Man Gan couldn't say for a while.

A crescent moon has hung in the sky, the guests in the restaurant have gradually dispersed, the cooks have a place to live in the backyard, the shopkeeper also has his own room, and the old man Gan will leave after cleaning the kitchen.

Xiong Yu and Old Man Gan walked out of the back door of the restaurant together, Old Man Gan looked at the crescent moon in the sky and yawned and said, "Boy, I don't know your name yet." ”

Xiong Yu smiled faintly and said, "Just call me Xiong Yu." ”

Old man Gan nodded and said, "Boy Xiong, I'm going home to sleep, you should go home and sleep early." ”

Xiong Yu nodded and turned around and left, but after taking a few steps Xiong Yu suddenly stopped again, he suddenly remembered one thing, where did he have a home, this is the second time he has come to the capital, how can there be a home in this capital.

In that case, I'll go to the guest war, Xiong Yu thought about it and immediately continued to walk forward, and after walking a few steps, Xiong Yu stopped again, and he remembered one more thing, that is, he didn't even have a penny on him.

Xiong Yu turned around and hurriedly caught up with Old Man Gan and said, "Old Man Gan, I want to ask you something. ”

Old man Gan turned to look at Xiong Yu and said, "What's the matter that you came back to ask me, what is the important matter?"

Xiong Yu's expression was a little embarrassed, he touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Is there a place for me in this restaurant?"

Old man Gan glanced at Xiong Yu and said, "Your kid is just a handyman, how can Yixuan prepare a place for you to live." ”

Xiong Yu sighed and said, "I understand." ”

Saying that, Xiong Yu was about to turn around and leave, but Old Man Gan reached out and grabbed Xiong Yu's arm and said, "What, you kid don't have a place to live?"

Xiong Yu shook his head and said, "How come I don't have a place to live, I just ask." After speaking, Xiong Yu immediately turned around and strode away.
