Chapter 1 The Strange Ring
In August, Jiangzhou is as hot as a steamer, making people breathless, and the air seems to have frozen.
While fanning the fan to get some breeze, Wu Fan was not very skillful in fiddling with the food on the barbecue grill in front of him, flipped over and sprinkled seasonings. He knew that he was not a veteran when he looked at his movements.
In fact, Wu Fan is indeed not a master of barbecue. He has been doing barbecue industry, but it has only been less than a month. Not only is he unfamiliar with his skills, but his equipment is also extremely simple, with a barbecue grill, two tables, and more than ten stools.
As for business, it was lukewarm. There were only one table for three people sitting on two tables, and the other was empty.
Wu Fan looked at the three people with some envy. From their conversation, Wu Fan knew that they were all students from nearby schools. A year ago, Wu Fan had the same identity as them, but a year later, he could only stand behind this somewhat simple barbecue grill.
"This cruel society!" Wu Fan sighed in a low voice and continued to flip the ingredients in his hand.
"Boss, come ten small skewers, ten skewers of chicken wings, ten skewers of pork belly..." When Wu Fan sighed at the cruelty of society, a full voice came into his ears.
Wu Fan was delighted that this order was a big business for a stall like him.
"Okay" Wu Fan responded happily, looking up at the other party. Then, his movements stopped and his brows frowned unconsciously.
I saw the person in front of me, with a disheveled hair, some stains on his face, ragged clothes, and many patches on it. He was wearing a pair of ragged slippers on his feet. With such an image, if he held a bowl in his hand, he would be a beggar.
"Hurry up, I'm very hungry now." The man was stunned when he saw Wu Fan and couldn't help but urge him.
"Okay, I'll do it now." Wu Fan responded, but there was no movement in his hand.
The man seemed to see Wu Fan’s concern and said, “Why, I’m afraid I don’t have money?”
"Nonsense, you dress like this, whoever sees you will be worried like this." Wu Fan complained in his heart. Of course, he dared not say that, that would offend people, "No, no."
"It's good if not." The man said, and then he whispered to himself in a low voice: "I really have no money."
However, Wu Fan obviously did not hear the following sentence.
"Looking at his speech, his face was dirty, but his aura was extraordinary. He should not be a beggar." Wu Fan muttered in his heart and started working hard.
The visitor is a guest, not to mention that there are still many people around him watching him. He can't judge people by his appearance, so he can drive them away.
After working hard for a while, Wu Fan finished all the orders ordered by the other party. He handed everything to the other party and said, "You ordered everything, a total of 360 yuan."
The man took the food from Wu Fan and did not rush to pay, but started eating directly. Wu Fan did not urge him, but just looked at the other party. As long as the other party didn't leave, it would be fine to finish eating here.
"Boss, let's have three more bottles of beer!" At this time, the only table of guests shouted at Wu Fan.
"Here you come!"
Wu Fan took three bottles of beer and headed towards the three of them, but the corner of his eyes was still paying attention to the person dressed in the beggar.
"Your beer." When he arrived at the table, Wu Fan put down the beer and turned around to go back.
However, when he turned around, he was stunned because the person dressed as a beggar who was still eating there had disappeared without a trace.
Wu Fan dared to guarantee that his eyes only left the other party for two seconds, just the two seconds after putting down the beer. As a result, it was the two seconds that the person disappeared!
What a hell!
Wu Fan hurried to his stall and looked around, but on the slightly empty street, there was no sign of the person just now, as if the other party had just disappeared out of thin air.
What a hell!
Wu Fan complained again. Seeing that he had searched several times but couldn't find anyone, he had to return to his stall in disappointment.
He is really a tycoon meal. He has a lot of energy and extraordinary momentum. He is his own illusion!
"Huh, what is this?"
When Wu Fan walked to the stall, he found that there was a gray ring next to his barbecue grill. Wu Fan picked up the ring and looked at it. He couldn't tell what material was made of, but the surface was smooth and round.
"Is it the person who just now? He has no money to pay the bill, so he left this ring for compensation?" Wu Fan thought to himself.
During this period, except for the person just now, there were no guests here. Obviously, the owner of the ring should be the person just now.
"Can a broken ring cost me 360 yuan? I have to wonder if I have the nerve to say, I secretly leave something and leave." Wu Fan said to himself.
I originally wanted to throw the ring away directly, but Wu Fan felt it was OK when he touched it, so he didn't throw it away, but put it on himself. Unexpectedly, the size was just right.
"Forget it, it's better to have it than not. Just think of the beggars who gave food to you just now." Wu Fan comforted himself. Things were already like this. If you don't want to be more open, there was nothing you can do.
At around one o'clock in the morning, there were no one in the street market. Wu Fan then packed up his things and returned to his residence, a rental house of about ten square meters.
After putting the things in, Wu Fan had no space in his room. He lay on his bed and recalled his experience in the year he graduated, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Wu Fan also graduated from a bachelor's degree, but his school is just a third-rate university and he doesn't study a popular major, so the job he found after graduation was not good. However, this was not a good job. He was expelled because he saw something he shouldn't have seen in the manager's office the next day because he walked in the door with his left foot.
Later, because he did not have a good education and no work experience, it became difficult to find a job. In order to make a living in this city, Wu Fan had to find a job and work part-time. In order to make money, he had done all kinds of jobs, moved bricks on construction sites, worked as a doll in shopping malls, and worked as a waiter in a hotel. In short, he was willing to do anything that could make money but was not illegal.
However, his luck seemed to be bad all the time. He accidentally hit his foot with a brick. The foreman told him not to go the next day. He was a doll. When he saw a child falling down, he wanted to help him. As a result, the child's parents thought he was scared to cry and went to the store to make a big fuss. As a result, he was fired the next day. When he was a waiter in a hotel, the chef got the wrong recipe and the customer thought he had served the wrong dish. He scolded him and complained again afterwards. So his waiter was also called the end.
Finally, more than a month ago, I used my not much savings to start a barbecue job and wanted to make some money in the summer time.
However, this barbecue is not that easy to do. Just near Wu Fan’s stall, there are several barbecue restaurants. They have a large space and a good environment. They are not much better than his small stall. In addition, his skills are average, so although they have been in business for a month, the business has never been very good, which makes Wu Fan, who is determined to make money, feel a little anxious.
"What's even more hateful is that I was eaten as a king meal today." Wu Fan thought hatefully. He looked at the ring in his hand and thought about what happened tonight, and felt a little depressed.
Is it easy for him to make a small amount of money? As a result, today, a tycoon meal made him useless for the whole night, and even had to pay some more.
Is your own bad luck coming again? Is your own barbecue going to be unable to continue?
The angry Wu Yan wanted to take off the ring, but it was easy to wear it before, but it was difficult to take it off. Wu Fan turned the ring for a long time but was unable to take it off. Instead, he rubbed his fingers red, and even a few bloodshots flowed out.
At this time, something that surprised Wu Fan happened. The bloodshot was actually absorbed by the ring. The originally gray ring suddenly became brighter, as dazzling as the sun at noon.
"Host detected, binding is in progress..."
A mechanical voice sounded in Wu Fan's ears.
