The gray sky has turned a little brighter. There was no one on the road before. In a blink of an eye, voices can be heard. Now it is almost dawn. The vendors in the morning market set out at the right time, rushing to get there before the city gate opens.
Set up the stall and start the day's business.
Although the dog's tail was pulled off, one problem was solved, but another problem followed. The dog's body was covered with hair, and the straw couldn't cover it. Where could he get some clothes?
Even if you don't take into account the hair on the dog's body, the two of them have no clothes on their bodies and rely on straw to cover some key places. How is it different from running naked? After all, beggars still have tattered clothes to hide their shame, and they are worse than beggars.
, I’m afraid they won’t even be able to enter the city gate.
While He Qi was thinking hard, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. After careful identification, it seemed to be the voices of the owner of the Chaos Stall and his waiter San'er at the gate of the city yesterday morning.
He Qi opened his head and looked, wanting to see what was going on, when he saw a group of people appearing on the road in the distance. Two of them were pushing two cars, one behind the other, driving slowly. The one walking in front,
He Qi recognized him as the wonton stall owner at a glance.
Now thinking back to what happened at the wonton stall yesterday morning, He Qi just realized that the boss was the good guy. He had warned him secretly several times. Unfortunately, he was blind, so he got caught.
Son's way.
But then again, without Zhang Mao'er's advice, you can't meet Gou Wa, so this matter can't be explained clearly!
Seeing that the two cars were still some way away, in order not to attract the attention of others, He Qi first placed the dog in a depression behind a tree, then squatted by the roadside and waited quietly.
The owner of the wonton stall is surnamed Wang. He is the second eldest son in his family. People who are familiar with him call him Wang Lao Er. It is said that his ancestor was a pastry chef in the palace. After a few generations, the Qing Dynasty disappeared, and the pastry skills passed down to Wang Lao Er were also passed down.
He didn't have much left, so he made a living by setting up a wonton stall at the city gate.
People who are not familiar with Zhang Mao'er think that he is doing errands for Qianya, but Wang Laoer has lived in the south of the city and knows Zhang Mao'er well. He knows that Zhang Mao'er is a bastard and does things behind his back.
It's the business of taking pictures of flowers.
Therefore, Zhang Mao'er's carefree attentiveness immediately aroused Wang Laoer's vigilance, and he secretly reminded him. Unfortunately, he couldn't bring it up after all. After all, he still had to make a living by making a living at a wonton stall, so he only looked forward to that.
The gentleman was able to respond in a timely manner.
Unfortunately, Wang Laoer went out to sell his stall as usual today. Before he reached Marco Polo Bridge, he suddenly heard someone shouting. He followed the sound and saw a man squatting in the withered grass beside the road, wrapped in straw. He didn't pay close attention.
Look, there is no one hiding there. When I look closely, it is the gentleman from yesterday morning.
Wang Laoer slowly parked his car on the side of the road so as not to block other people's roads. He leaned forward and asked, "Sir, what's going on?"
"Can I take a moment to speak?" He Qi said.
When Wang Laoer heard this, he roughly understood what was going on, and shouted to the waiter San'er behind him: "I'm going to relieve myself while you watch."
"Hey!" Waiter San'er responded, but his puzzled eyes fell on He Qi. He was obviously wearing a foreign suit yesterday morning, why did he look like this today?
The two came to the big tree. He Qi briefly talked about how he was deceived by Zhang Mao'er, but did not reveal anything about Gou Wa. He gained a lot of wisdom because Gou Wa was sold at a high price.
The so-called money and silk touch people's hearts, but the most difficult thing to guess is people's hearts. Then he looked at Wang Laoer sincerely and asked: "Can you please give me two pieces of unwanted clothes so that I can go into the city. I will definitely repay today's kindness in the future."
.”
"Look what you said, it's just two pieces of clothing, it takes a little effort." Wang Laoer responded, but then he changed the topic and said: "However, sir, you have to be careful, you have to enter the city through another gate, Yongding Gate.
City, absolutely not."
"Why?" He Qi asked puzzled.
"Yesterday morning, you showed up. Zhang Mao'er has been around this area since he was a child and knows a lot of people. You only enter the city through this gate. Within half a day, Zhang Mao'er will know where you are going.
And since you don't know anyone in the city, Zhang Mao'er will find a few more people, take advantage of the fact that there are few people, put you whole into a sack, and kidnap you out of the city."
"How dare they do it in broad daylight?"
"Don't you know this? There is a kind of medicine in Paihuazi. If you just pass by you and wave it in front of you, as long as you don't pay attention for a moment and take a whiff, your head will be dizzy. Whatever others say,
What happened?"
When He Qi heard this, he shuddered all over. At the same time, he was very lucky that he happened to meet a good boss. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble if he went into the city like this.
"I can't thank you enough for your kindness!" He Qi said solemnly and gratefully.
Wang Laoer shook his head and said: "It's nothing. We old Peiping people are always out of touch. Whenever we meet someone or encounter something, we will help whenever we can. There is no ambiguity."
While talking, Wang Laoer walked in front of the car in three steps, took out a trousers jacket, handed it to He Qi, and said: "Coarse cloth jacket, don't think it's shabby, you can try it on yourself."
He Qi ran behind the tree, quickly removed the straw, and put on clothes. It was a little too small, but it was enough to cover her body, and she could wear makeshift clothes. She was used to it now, and she wasn't that particular about it.
However, Gouwa was still lying there, motionless, which put He Qi in trouble. The boss had already given him a piece of clothing, so he couldn't ask for another piece of clothing without any reason, right?
While He Qi was hesitating, he heard Wang Laoer continue to ask: "Sir, when you go to the city, do you have a place to go?"
He Qi shook his head and said, "I just want to find a job and make some money."
"If that's the case, I do have a place where I can find a job for you."
"Oh? What's the errand?"
"My brother-in-law is an apprentice at Wenhuiju on Liuli Street. I heard him say a few days ago that there are many foreigners who like to go there to buy antiques. However, we can't understand what the foreigners say, so I specially hired a translator. If the transaction is successful,
Fortunately, if it doesn’t work out, it’s not worth it. I’m sure my husband will be able to understand foreigners when he comes back from abroad, so it’s no problem to make a living on Liuli Street.”
He Qi is a programmer and has a certain foundation in English, because programming contains a lot of English code. Although it is not to the point where communication is not hindered, he can understand everything even with gestures and gestures, and he speaks plain English.
, that’s all, as long as you understand some professional terminology in the antique industry, everything else won’t be a problem.
Thinking of this, He Qi agreed that there was nothing better than being able to find a temporary job to accommodate him. Then he told the boss about Gou Wa, saying that he escaped with Gou Wa.
When Wang Laoer saw Gouwa wrapped in straw, without saying a word, he went to the car of his third boy, took out a coarse cloth coat and trousers, and asked Gouwa, who had changed clothes, to sit in the car, and then gave him
He Qi put on a felt hat and rushed to the stall.
There were not many people in the morning market, they were only in twos and threes, mostly vendors. After all, it was still early and the sun had not yet risen. Wang Laoer asked the waiter Saner to set up the stall, took a few large cakes, and took He Qi with him.
He and Gou Wa went straight to Liuli Street in the south of the city.
