Chapter 22 Go to West Market Town

From Mujia Village to Xiji Town, two figures, one tall and one short, gradually drifted away. It was no one else, but the two brothers Gui Chun and Gui Chongyang who were confronting each other at the door of the old Gui family house.

Gui Chun looked at his cousin who was following him with a big stroll, and looked a little nervous. Gui Chongyang was angry with Gui Chun's stubbornness, but he still followed him with concern, and his little face turned black.

Guichun is not the one who is ungrateful. He knows that his cousin's proposal is kind, so he must have brought some compliments and said: "Today, there are big markets in the town and some ice noodles. There are famous people in all villages. Let's go to eat at noon."

Gui Chongyang was a little curious: "Jelly? What is it?"

It was about June, and the weather was so hot that it was irritable. This jelly sounded like a person who was talking about the mouth and had a good salivation.

Gui Chun touched the back of her head and smiled silly: "I have only heard people say that I have never eaten it."

During this question and answer, the two cousins ​​resolved the coldness in the morning. Gui Chongyang said enthusiastically: "What is the big market like? Are there many people? What do they sell?"

Gui Chun said: "Why aren't there many? Episode 3570, Episode 357, Episode 357, and Episode 10, and every ten is a big event. All day, every ten village has to go to the town to buy things. Along the dock, the stalls can be shipped two miles away. Everything is sold, and everything you want to buy can be found on the market."

"Aren't there a row of shops next to the dock? That won't affect their business?" Gui Chongyang's boat under the dock naturally remembered the distribution of the generation over there, and thought for a while.

"There are more people going to the market, and the business of the shop next to you is better than usual. The shopkeepers are only happy. The waiter and his friends are in that area."

The two of them were talking and laughing, but they walked faster than yesterday. However, Gui Chun remembered that Gui Chongyang was in poor health. He walked halfway through the small road and refused to leave at a big intersection, so he stayed to wait for the car.

He still stopped other villages to take the bus, each with three cents. Gui Chun paid first and said to Gui Chongyang: "I came out in the morning and gave me ten dollars."

One money is one penny, which is ten penny, and now six penny is used.

Gui Chongyang carefully paid attention to Gui Chun's expression. Although he couldn't suppress his heartache when he paid the money, he didn't mean to pretend, and he wanted to pay the money in a sincere manner.

Gui Chongyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the remaining four dollars are enough to eat jelly?"

Gui Chun smiled and said, "A bowl of jelly is enough." At this point, he patted the bag on his shoulder: "You eat it, I brought the pancake."

Gui Chongyang felt warm after hearing this. Is this a relative? Without planning, if you have ten cents in your pocket, you will be generous and willing to take the bus to buy food for yourself? Is your defense too heavy? What should I do if I feel a little ashamed?

However, thinking about the two dilapidated houses of the Gui family, the old and weak, Gui Chongyang straightened his body again. There was always someone who used his brain, and they were like Gui Chun. In fact, the Gui family could only drink the northwest wind.

I came out early today and there was no delay. I arrived in Xiji Town at the beginning of Si (9:00 am).

The two got off the carriage and went to find Gui Qiu.

On the way, Gui Chun introduced the other side: "It was the place where Uncle Wu asked someone to find. He wanted to be an apprentice for five years. This year is the second year. It is called 'Xiangmanyuan'. He cooks lunch and dinner. Now he should prepare dishes and speaks cheaply. He is right next to the dock, not far from the big market. After we met the waiter, we happened to go to the big market."

The inheritance of this craft has always been afraid of "teaching apprentices and starving the master to death". Xiji Town is not small, but one more peer is also a job grab. This kind of shop that recruits apprentices from outside often wants to hire a free handyman. However, since it is Jiang Wu's favor, I'll talk about it separately.

After talking, the two of them arrived at the place.

Seeing the guise of "Fragrant Garden", Gui Chongyang blinked. Is this a hotel? There were two small and short door-faced rooms, with seven or eight tables at the door. Half of them were sitting there. There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man next to him, holding a few bowls of noodles, and entertaining him everywhere. There was an open-air stove next to him, and a fat black girl was guarding the stove to cook noodles.

Isn’t breakfast not served? Gui Chongyang looked at the open restaurant gate and turned around to see the guy.

The young man had turned around and saw two people standing next to him. He thought they were new customers and came to greet him.

When he saw Guichun's face, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, are you here? Are you here to go to the market? What is missing at home?"

Before the person could come to the front, he had already asked a series of questions, and he looked cheerful.

It was Gui Qiu, who was shorter than Gui Chun. Perhaps he was a little more edible than the apprentice in a restaurant than the ones at home. Compared with the thin Gui Chun, he was much more solid.

Gui Chun shook his head quickly and worriedly said, "It's not that I'm going to the market, what's not short of my family? Don't you only make lunch and evening markets in your restaurant? Why do you sell breakfast again? How can you survive this day all night?"

There are also loading and unloading goods at night in the dock, so the restaurant closed very late. If you have to prepare a breakfast stall, you have to get up in the middle of the night. The boss didn’t manage breakfast before because it was too boring.

When Gui Qiu heard this, his smile even better: "I advised the master to set up a stall, and he didn't open it every day. It's a pity to miss it all these days." As he said that, he glanced around, took out half a string of money from his arms, and handed it to Gui Chun: "Check it up, these are thirty strings of money. The previous few times, the master gave me ten money every time."

Gui Chun refused to answer: "How can I accept this?"

Gui Qiu is here to be an apprentice, not a handyman. Not only does he have no wages, he also has to send filial piety to his master during festivals. This is also a rule. After all, it is a skill that can be used to make a living for a lifetime.

Gui Qiu smiled and said, "This is what the master insisted on giving me. I asked me to save it as pocket money. I don't have anything to buy. Take it back and let our milk collect it."

Guichun then held the money tightly. The market was full of people and it was difficult to use money outside to talk about things.

Gui Chongyang was listening to the two brothers talking, but his eyes swept toward the girl beside the stove from time to time.

The fat black girl was still cooking noodles in her hands, but her eyes looked at Gui Qiu from time to time, and the noodles in her hands were cooked well, and she couldn't wait to shout and said, "Brother Qiu, you can have the noodles!"

Gui Qiu responded, pulled Guichun to an empty table next to him and sat there, and then called Gui Chongyang: "Brother wants to eat noodles? Find an empty table and sit first." There was no reaction at all, and they came together. They didn't care about their reply, so they hurriedly turned around and went back to the guests.

After serving a few bowls of cooked noodles, Gui Chun turned around again. Seeing Gui Chun talking to Gui Chongyang, it was not like a stranger, he said in confusion: "Did this guy come with his elder brother? Looks like the noodles are boiled."

Gui Chun was about to introduce that the fat black girl had already followed her: "Brother Qiu, who are these two?"

It’s really Guichun and Gui Qiu’s mother, except for her tall, short, fat and thin, she has a somewhat similar appearance. People who are familiar with each other can see that the two are related at once.
