In the evening, Xiang Nan cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge and was about to finish it.

At this moment, someone outside the door shouted, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ning's house?"

When Xiang Nan heard this, he was confused. When he opened the door, he saw a man wearing a black suit, a pair of two-color leather boots, and a briefcase under his arm, standing outside the courtyard.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiang Nan looked at him and asked.

"You must be Mr. Ning. I'm dismounting from San'er, and I've made a special trip to pay a visit." When the man saw Xiang Nan, he immediately smiled and said.

Xiang Nan was stunned and blinked, unable to figure out what this person was doing.

If he was here to seek revenge, it doesn't look like that.

First of all, the naughty masters are not dressed like this. The naughty masters usually wear blue work clothes and old Yanjing cloth shoes. They may also be robbed military uniforms, and few people wear suits;

Secondly, the recalcitrant masters don’t talk like this. The recalcitrant masters are all dissatisfied and resentful. They rarely call others “grandfather”, and they never bow their heads and bow when they see people, with a smile on their face.

If he is here to give a gift, who would give him a gift if he is a child?

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Nan waved, "Okay, come in."

Ma Saner's face lit up with joy and he walked in quickly.

…

"Sit down wherever you want." Xiang Nan said, "What do you want from me?"

"Hey, Master Ning, just eat this. It's so unworthy of your status." Ma San'er glanced at the vegetable porridge on the stove and said with a smile, "Look, I brought you cooked beef. Use it." It’s best to go with your meal.”

As he said that, he opened the artificial leather bag and took out a paper bag. When he opened it, he saw that it contained well-braised beef. It was red in color and had a clear texture. You could tell it was good meat at a glance.

If ordinary people saw it, their mouths would definitely water. After all, meat is a good thing these days. For ordinary people, they may not eat meat once a year.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No reward for no merit, tell me first, what do you want me to do?"

"Master Ning is really quick to talk." Ma San'er said with a smile, "I don't tell lies in front of real people, and I don't hide the truth. I am a Buddha~"

Buddha is a thief, a pickpocket. The reason why he is called so is mainly because of spreading rumors. Originally, stealing was called Fu (the second tone), and in the crosstalk "Making a Kitchen", the cook who stole things was called Fu. Later, rumors were passed down, and Fu became a Buddha. .

Xiang Nan naturally knew what this meant and was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Ma San'er, who was dressed so well, was actually a thief. Thinking about it more carefully, it was right. Thieves make money quickly and at low cost, so they are willing to spend money lavishly.

Ordinary people, the little money they earn is not enough to spend, so why are they willing to buy suits and leather shoes? The so-called three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending and repairing were common phenomena at that time.

Xiang Nan then nodded, "You came to worship me today, do you want me to protect you?"

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. No matter how skilled the thief is, he will inevitably be caught. But these days, money is very precious, so after they are caught, they are often beaten.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, thieves often choose a tough guy who can fight as a backer. In this way, when they are caught, they may get less beatings if they retaliate.

After all, the stubborn rulers are all overlords of one area, and in a region, it is easy to talk.

For example, when the little bastard was popular, he protected all the areas around Xinjiekou and Nanhua Street, and all the thieves there were covered by him. Of course, the cover was not white. Every month, these thieves would steal from themselves.

Give him part of the dirty money.

"You are wise." Ma San'er immediately smiled.

Although Xiang Nan is young, he has good skills. First he knocked down the little bastard, and then beat up several strong boys of 16 or 17 with one against many. Such a person is born to be a stubborn leader.

But now the older generation of stubborn leaders have basically left, and the rest are all useless. With Xiang Nan's skills, it may not be impossible to unify the four or nine cities.

So Ma San'er and others wanted to come to visit the pier, and Xiang Nan would take care of them from now on. It would be easier for them to move around in the future.

"Master Ning, to tell you the truth, I have a large group of brothers who are willing to follow you. As long as you nod, I will give you this amount a month." He said, holding out two fingers.

"Two thousand?!" Xiang Nan sneered when he saw it.

Ma San'er was also stunned.

He stretched out two fingers, without saying anything, just to see Xiang Nan's appetite.

Logically speaking, for a child like him, two hundred a month is considered a lot.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan's appetite was quite big. He actually asked for two thousand, which was really a big deal.

"It's only two thousand, what do you think?" Ma San'er nodded.

Although two thousand is a bit too much, if Xiang Nan is willing to protect them, then it is okay.

"Since you are willing to worship me, you should know that I have caught the little bastard before." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Ning, you are brave." Ma San'er extended his thumb and said, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard people say it countless times. Lord Ning, you caught the little bastard with three punches and two kicks.

Yes, you really deserve it!"

"Since you have heard about this, you should know that I caught the little bastard because I wanted to act bravely and eliminate harm for the people." Xiang Nan said again, "You actually let me cover you gang of thieves and let you

Don't worry and boldly pick out other people's bags, you are really blind! Even if I, Ning Wei, starve to death, I don't want this kind of dirty money. Get out of here, get out of here!"

Money is so precious these days. Ning Yong and Zhong Yuemin went to the countryside, and they only paid five cents for a day's work. In order to make more money, Li Kuiyong went to the reservoir to carry stones. Even though his ribs were broken in the landslide, he went back before the injury healed. Just for the sake of making more money.

A full meal and one yuan a day's wages.

It shows how hard it is to earn this money. If someone steals it, it will be worse than death. So a thief like Ma San'er should be cut to pieces.

Xiang Nan wouldn't make such shady money even if he killed him, so he would keep a bunch of thieves to steal things.

When Ma Saner heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to have such a high moral standard.

Generally speaking, regardless of whether they are die-hards or veterans, their moral standards are not high.

Don't think they all talk about loyalty, sharing blessings together and shouldering difficulties together, but that is for one's own brothers. To outsiders, they are all arrogant, domineering and wanton bullying.

Even Zhong Yuemin, in the novel, has the behavior of grabbing people's hats in the ice rink and hitting people at will. He is not a good person in the true sense.

Just like the one hundred and eight generals in Shuibo Liangshan, they are said to be heroes, but in fact they are a gang of demons who rob homes, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and harm the people, even children, women and children.

Therefore, the stubborn master is not opposed to accepting the Buddha.

With the Buddha as an offering, and charging a few hundred yuan a month to make offerings, I can live a very comfortable life, so I am naturally happy with it.

Of course, there are also veterans who have money at home and are unwilling to earn this dirty money.
