Chapter Twelve: Tea Street

The "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounds of various bicycles can be heard downstairs. People go to the market early in the morning to shout and shout one after another. Tricycles carrying goods shuttle through it. The wheels of life are rolling every day.

The noise woke them all up, and each of them tidied up slowly.

Chui Shuihui took out his treasured "Golden Steel Diamond" hair cream and applied it with his hand. The wax oil covered his stiff hair with a layer of luster. Chui Shuihui used his hands to shape various hair styles and looked at the mirror carefully. of careful consideration.

"It's not like you're going to pick up girls, so you're so generous?"

Snake Zai obviously wouldn't take out this box of precious hair cream easily when he saw Chui Shuihui. He would only apply it when chasing Alan at the entrance of the village. Besides, when he came to the provincial capital, he was looking for people and work, so what's the point of asking for orders? use?

"We have to set up a stall now. How can we attract beautiful girls if we don't do it properly?"

There are indeed very handsome guys on this street, but Chui Shuihui obviously doesn't belong here.

Snake Zaiming looked on blankly, picked up the clothes in the bucket and hung them to dry on the balcony.

Niu Jingqiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced around, only to see Fanshu Chang folding the quilt. Xiao Li had just come out of the toilet, but Jiang Hao was nowhere to be seen.

Doubts arose in my heart. He, Jiang Hao, wouldn't leave them alone and sneak back to Xiaobei Village, right? He had the last money in his pocket.

Thinking of this, Niu Jingqiang shouted to everyone: "Stop cleaning up and go find Jiang Hao quickly."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, looking at Jiang Hao's clean appearance on the bed, and then they subconsciously understood the meaning behind Niu Jingqiang's words.

The five people stopped what they were doing and hurried out the door.

When we went downstairs, the front desk man drank soy milk and took a bite of fried dough sticks. He put his hairy legs on the table and read the newspaper while wearing reading glasses. A Cantonese opera was playing on the radio.

So uncomfortable.

The street is bustling with pedestrians. A few steps towards the intersection is the tea stall market. From the street to the end of the street, some are small tea factories. They put a few benches in front of their houses. On the benches are placed a few bamboo dustpans and pavers on them. All kinds of tea leaves are drying in the sun. Black tea and green tea are basically the protagonists. The huge chimney wafts out the familiar and long-lasting smell of tea leaves.

The five of them walked from this street to the end of the street, searching for Jiang Hao's figure everywhere. There were several large tea factories at the end of the street. The security guards at the door saw their unfamiliar faces and became wary.

"I didn't see anyone, let's go to the market and have a look." Snake Ming also looked around and took a look to see if there was any trace of Xiao Yao.

Crossing the corner of the street, past a shed filled with bicycles, and around the corner is the Fangcun Farmers Market.

The road has never been dry, there are wet food stalls on the roadside, and there are picky customers who are picky about whether the dishes are too short. The fishy smell and the smell of sweat are mixed together, and the wet ground makes it difficult to get down.

"Hey, then, is that Jiang Hao?"

Chui Shuihui pointed to the end of the alley and followed his gaze. He saw Jiang Hao pushing a bunch of guys and standing in front of the pork stall discussing something with the boss.

"Let's go!" Snake Ming put his arm on their shoulders and walked towards Jiang Hao.

As soon as he approached the pork stall, Jiang Hao raised his finger to signal them to be silent when he saw them.

"Boss, you can lend me 10 pounds of pork on credit, and I'll write you an IOU."

Jiang Hao lowered his eyebrows and begged, and the pork stall owner looked embarrassed. Seeing so many people around him, he couldn't get angry.

This was the first time he had encountered such an incredible and shameless request.

Several other people looked at each other in confusion. It turned out that Jiang Hao disappeared early in the morning in order to get tools and ingredients on credit so that he could fulfill his promise of setting up a stall last night.

But they suspected that he would run away and go back to Xiaobei Village. When they thought of this and saw Jiang Hao begging his boss in various ways, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty in their hearts.

"There's no such thing as credit. Find someone else."

The owner of the pork stall waved his hand and refused, using a fan to catch the flies floating above the pork.

"Boss, let me pledge this jade to you, and you can give me the pork on credit for three days, and I will redeem it after I earn the money."

"Don't..." Snake Zai Ming had not finished speaking, and Jiang Hao stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

Jiang Hao took off the red rope from his neck. Hanging on the rope was a round jade stone, crystal clear and of excellent color.

When the pork stall owner saw such a good product, he even put down his knife and grabbed it without letting go.

Jiang Hao looked at the way he refused to let go, with a trace of reluctance flashing across his face.

This piece of jade was specially requested by the parents to commemorate the birth of their son at an advanced age. They said it would ensure that he would be smart and prosperous throughout his life. The green jade produced in the county is a unique variety. It has been polished by craftsmen many times and is transparent.

The quality will come out.

The owner of the pork stall praised it so much that his mouth watered.

Seeing everyone's eager gazes, he immediately held the jade and hid it in his inner bag. He picked up the butcher's knife and cut a large piece of the pig's hind legs. He raised the knife and dropped it. He picked up the portable steelyard and saw ten pounds, cents.

not bad.

"Here." The pork stall owner bundled the pork with a few straw ropes and threw it to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao carried the ten kilograms of pork, reluctantly glanced at the boss's inner bag, pushed the thing with some frustration, and waved the others to leave.

They walked in silence all the way, perhaps feeling ashamed of their petty nature. Everyone walked with their heads lowered and said nothing.

She Zaiming helped Jiang Hao push the trolley carrying the tools, thinking about how much time he had spent and how many people he had begged to collect so many tools, as well as the piece of jade that he regarded as his life.

It's like a big stone crushing the top.

"Acridine Hao, your jade is so good, it's not worth it just for credit."

Snake Zaiming grabbed Jiang Hao, regret and helplessness written on his face.

"It's okay. Solving the matter at hand is the most important thing."

Jiang Hao forced a smile, turned around and continued to push the tools. The items and ingredients for the stall were all on credit, and all that was left was the location for the stall.

Several people walked out of the market. Jiang Hao turned around and said, "There are many stalls in the market and competition is high. Where should we set them up?"

Chuishuihui suddenly thought of the tea street he passed just now, and said loudly: "Go to the tea wholesale street, there are many people there, and there are also tea factories."

Jiang Hao also passed by that place this morning. There were a lot of people and factories, but there were no food stalls operating there. Moreover, he also heard from the book writer that most of the people who made tea on this street were from their county.

Now you don’t have to worry about taste.

If the wonton dumplings are cooked well, there will definitely be an endless stream of people from the streets to the alleys.

"Let's go and open a stall!"

Jiang Hao raised his hands and shouted. The most touching thing about youth is that newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and does whatever he says regardless of the consequences. Looking back on it after several years, it still makes people feel very valuable.

After the division of labor, they set up a stall on the streets of Chajiao and lit their first fire.

In the darkness around the corner, an unshaven man kept staring at their stall.

"They must have taken the courage of a leopard and dared to be here..."

The bearded man stopped him from continuing.
