"The Mu County captain is looking for marriage in the whole city to choose a husband for his sister. All single men aged 18 to 38, with good appearance and good health can apply. Those who are interested, please go to Jianghu Inn to sign up and get a number."
Genius Mengmengliang saw someone posting something on the street. Wang Jiajia and I went up to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was Madam Mu's notice for marriage.
Wang Jiajia finished reading word for word, and almost jumped up with excitement: "Sister Mu is really going to recruit marriages all over the city."
I shifted the burden to another shoulder: "Mrs. Mu, why are you so happy about your marriage proposal?"
"I'm happy for Sister Mu." Wang Jiajia mentioned Douhua and continued walking forward with me: "Even a woman has the right to pursue her own happiness, no matter how old she is, she can't give in no matter what."
I looked at the woman next to me in surprise. Why did this silly girl suddenly say such profound words? Wasn't she always worried that she was almost 20 years old and that she wouldn't be able to get married? Recently... since she and Mu
My wife is dating, and I feel like my whole person has suddenly changed a lot.
When we arrived at the entrance of Jianghu Inn, the sun had just begun to show its hair, and there were not many customers in the store, but Uncle Fu personally came to greet me and pulled me aside.
"Jianghu, there is something that my boss asked me to tell you."
"Oh, Uncle Fu, please speak."
"Um..." Uncle Fu smiled, looking a little embarrassed, and paused before continuing: "The boss said that in the next period of time, except for the guest rooms at the back, breakfast and plain noodles will be served in the front living room.
Um...so...haha, actually, the boss buys you two boxes of tofu every day, and the kitchen can't sell them all. Most of them are bought by people who come to have breakfast and take home to cook, and sometimes they are given away...
"
I heard Fu Bo's voice getting quieter and quieter, but I did understand a little bit of what he meant.
"Uncle Fu, it's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. But there are no more two boxes of tofu in the inn now?"
"Hey." Uncle Fu nodded and stretched out a finger: "One box, just one box is enough. Usually when you deliver the goods, the store clerk will help sell them, but now there are
I really can’t take care of important things.”
I felt a little disappointed, but mostly guilty. I always thought I had found a stable buyer, but I didn't expect that I would cause them so much trouble.
"Oh, the boss said that a box of tofu will cost you one hundred cents. He can also set up two small tables for you under the eaves next to the door, and you can set up a stall there to sell tofu and tofu." Uncle Fu saw me silent.
, and then added.
"Okay. Thank you very much." I smiled and said, "Please also ask Uncle Fu to say thank you to Mrs. Mu for taking care of her these past few months."
"Oh, okay. I'm really sorry." Uncle Fu said with an apology on his chubby face: "But there will be a lot of people coming and going in the inn in the next few days, and your business should be good."
"Then the inn won't be open at noon or at night?" I wasn't worried about not being able to sell the tofu, but I felt that the inn would suffer a lot of losses.
"If someone comes to eat vegetarian noodles or tofu, they will still cook it, but if they want to eat other food and wine, they won't be able to eat it." Uncle Fu also felt a little helpless: "In order to make up for the loss, the owner decided to wait until dawn to put up the sign.
The price of the rooms at the back tripled.”
"Uncle Fu, could you please help me read the notice like this?" Sun Chenxian shouted.
"Oh, you're busy then."
I moved a box of tofu into the back kitchen and the rest under the eaves. Wang Jiajia asked why and quickly helped set up two small tables and put on a few small stools.
"Tofu, freshly ground tofu in the morning, costs two yuan a piece. Madam, would you like a piece? There is also bean curd, which is also two cents a bowl."
I borrowed a stack of bowls from the kitchen and came out, and saw Wang Jiajia shouting at the passers-by. The soft sunlight smeared her cheeks, blending with her smile.
In all my life, I have never seen Wang Jiajia speak so generously and loudly to strangers. When did she become so brave? No, to be precise, it is confidence, the beauty of self-confidence that comes from the heart!
Although the left side of her face is still covered with hair that is level with her chin, the scars on her face will still be ruthlessly exposed when she tilts her head, but she still smiles confidently, and the entire right side of her face becomes more and more obvious.
Her innocence completely overwhelms the blemishes on the left side of her face.
"Brother Jianghu, come on, put the bowl here." Wang Jiajia nodded at the corner of the table: "Brother Jianghu!"
"Ah?" I put down the bowl and finally came to my senses. I have to admit that I was a little fascinated by what I saw just now. I was busy building houses and other things during this period, and I didn't know when she changed her body. No, her appearance
Not that she has changed, but the temperament exuded by her whole person has far exceeded my understanding of her.
"Here comes a bowl of tofu pudding." A middle-aged woman sat down at the table and shouted.
"Oh, Auntie." Wang Jiajia responded, took a bowl and brought it over: "Auntie, please use it slowly."
I took the two coins handed over by Wang Jiajia and smiled at her: "Are you hungry? Do you want to go in and have a bowl of noodles first?"
"What about you? I'll buy it."
"Hey, Jiajia, thank you!"
"Thank you for what? I'm not helping you." Wang Jiajia winked at me mischievously and went to the inn.
I knew what she meant. She arrived just as I packed the tofu in the morning. I wasn't allowed to follow her at first, but she said that she was the deputy captain and should carry out the mission with me.
On mission!
Imperial Envoy, Imperial Envoy, I haven't offended you much, right? How could you assign such a complicated task to me?
Sigh, I didn't think about it at the time, and I was still a little excited. When I thought about it carefully last night, I suddenly felt that the imperial envoy's plan was so unreliable. How could he be sure that there would be some Tibetan craftsmen who came to Xiangzhou to take advantage of Lady Mu's marriage proposal?
City? Even if there is a new job, you will not stay in an inn? Why do you have to rent a private house? You will definitely rent my house?
It took me almost an hour to wait until all the tofu was sold, but I earned more than 150 Wen. I wanted to pay 100 Wen to Uncle Fu, but he said he would keep the money for my pocket money, so I didn't feel much better.
said.
After a few rounds of shopping, there were more and more people building houses in the city. I quickly found Song Erlang and contacted him about doing odd jobs. He just helped carry wood. I have plenty of strength, so of course it’s not a problem.
A lunch can be provided for fifty copper coins.
After a few days, I was tired, but seeing the bag containing the money gradually bulging, it really made me feel good. However, I had already talked to Song Erlang and others intentionally or unintentionally, and they all knew that I wanted to rent out the house.
They also offered to help pay attention to the idea, but there has been no follow-up.
Do I have to follow Madam Mu's example and write out notices and post them everywhere? Because Madam Mu's notice for marriage has received a huge response. Since it was posted on the eighth day of September, in just a few days, people have come to the inn to sign up in an endless stream.
This made my business really good, even people passing by would slow down, or eat a bowl of bean curd in front of my tofu stall, have a chat, and then buy two pieces of tofu.
"Brother Jianghu, do you think it's okay to write like this?" Sun Chenxian ran out and handed me a piece of paper.
"There is a new house for rent in the fifth lane in the south of the city. It costs 200 yuan a month. Please pay first before moving in. If you are the one, don't disturb me." I read: "Is this written for me?"
"Well, my boss asked me to ask you. If you have no objections, I will post it in front of the tofu stall for you."
Ask me? Haha, I laughed secretly in my heart, since Mrs. Mu did this, it was obviously Xiao Mu... Oh, no, it was the imperial envoy's order.
"Thank you very much. Then I'll post it here." I smiled.
…
"Excuse me, is this my dear friend's house for rent?"
As soon as Sun Chenxian posted the notice, a family eating bean curd at the table asked me about it.
The person who asked the question was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He had a straight face, a dark complexion, a tired look, a mustache on his chapped lips, a thin build, and a wrinkled short shirt that looked a bit old.
.
Rent a house? Carefully do it?
My heart tightened, and I tried my best to smile: "Yes."
"Oh, this is my wife and my daughter. Our family fled from Yizhou. We wanted to come to visit our relatives, but we couldn't. We can only live in tents outside the city temporarily. The county government will send people to visit us every day.
Porridge, I will also go to the city to find some work. In the past few days, there are many households building houses in the city, and I also took the opportunity to save some money. After all, I am raising a family, so I still need to find a stable job.
Where to live. So..." the man said, suddenly stopped and looked at me expectantly.
I looked at the woman next to him. She looked ordinary. She seemed to be the same age as Wang Jiajia. She was wearing a rough sarong and was holding a little girl about two or three years old on her legs. At this moment, the woman was silent.
She only focused on feeding her daughter the beancurd. After the little girl turned her head and pushed the spoon with her little hand, the woman took the bowl and started eating by herself.
"Come on, madam, this bit in the bucket is not easy to sell, so I'll give it to you." Wang Jiajia seemed to have softened her heart for a moment, tilting the bucket, and used a spoon to scrape off half a bowl of bean curd stuck to the wall and bottom of the bucket.
Added for women.
"Thank you." The woman looked up, smiled slightly, and started eating silently again.
How can I be a caretaker if I take care of my family? Should I rent a house to them?
"Oh, I have money. This...this is fifty copper coins. You can pay part of the deposit first. I will find work every day and I will pay the rent to you when it is due." The man was silent when he saw me, afraid that I was...
Worried that he could not afford the rent, I quickly reached into my pocket and took out a black bag. I poured out the coins inside, counted out fifty coins and pushed it toward me.
Money is put in front of me, but I don’t want it. Am I stupid? Someone rents a house and I don’t agree with it. If Seisaku sees this, will it expose my identity as a secret agent?
Xiao Mu... No, Imperial Envoy! If it were you, what would you do? I glanced around, hum, who said that the Imperial Envoy is omnipotent, why didn't he show up secretly to give a hint at the critical moment?
Wang Jiajia? Ahem, why are you cleaning the table at this time? Should I rent it or not? Can you feel a little emotional? Hey! How about a look? Vice-captain of Team Shen!
Hey, never mind!
I was heartbroken and swept fifty cents into the iron box: "Forget it, originally I made it very clear on the notice, pay first and then check in, but everyone has difficulties, so be it, I
It’s time to close the stall today, so you can come with me to see the house first, and if you’re satisfied, you can move in first, and just pay the remaining money before the end of the month.”
"Hey, okay, haha, thank you so much for my benefactor!" The man was overjoyed, and he took his wife's hand, and they clasped hands at me to thank me. This chapter has been completed!
