Chapter 320 Coal Town
Mr. Zhu was silent, because he had to go on the road again. Mr. Wei didn't keep his word. In a few days, the old man came to work with him for a month.
It's just that although both of them understand what this is, there is no doubt that Mr. Zhu's work in this month is much easier than what he did before. This is not a bad thing.
But such a thing can only make both of them unhappy. After Mr. Wei left, Mr. Zhu had to face a very realistic problem, that is, he could no longer find a job.
It is difficult for famous people to find a cheap job.
Mr. Zhu had to continue to walk with Bai Choufei. Bai Choufei is very happy to leave Hangzhou. Even if his face is so pale that others don't know him when they see him, he still doesn't like such a big city where people come and go.
After going on the road again, the place Mr. Zhu went to was no longer casual. I don't know why their hearts were a little heavier.
"Am I famous?" After walking for a month on the road, Mr. Zhu finally couldn't help asking this question.
Bai Choufei did not answer.
"Zhu Dashanren... hehe. Is there any Zhu Dashan who can't even eat steamed buns? Mr. Zhu sighed, "I have worked hard these years. I never thought that I would be famous, but it is really unbearable to be famous like this."
Bai Choufei has nothing to say. He is so famous that it is also the first time he has seen celebrities who are rushing to treat guests, and he has seen celebrities who are rushing to kill. He himself is a notorious person all over the world, and there are also people who are well-known all over the world. But in this way, he has never seen a celebrity who is about to starve to death. Not only have I never seen it, but I have never heard of it. Along the way, not only did no one give them two jobs, but others didn't even want to see this Zhu Dashan.
This is not a strange thing. If everyone has accepted the current life, there is nothing strange about it. Suddenly, there will be a person who helps people do things. This brings not only good intentions, but riots. No official hopes that there will be riots within their jurisdiction, whether it is good or bad, right. It's still wrong.
So the two not only can't find a job, but also can't get close to those big cities.
The journey of more than two months has made Mr. Zhu's old body weak again. Although Bai Choufei tries his best to work during the day, except for killing people, his ability to make money is pitiful.
But he can only do this. It's not difficult to make money, but he wants Mr. Zhu to eat the food he earned with the money he killed. Mr. Zhu can't eat it. Bai Choufei doesn't know why, but he bought it once. After Mr. Zhu ate it, he vomited for three days! He can only help people move things and earn some food and drink every day...
This is simply a very hateful and angry thing. Watching Mr. Zhu lose weight all the way, Bai Choufei doesn't know how long this old gentleman can last...
Finally, one day, when the two passed by a small town, Mr. Zhu suddenly said, "Xiao Bai, we're here."
"Is this?" Bai Choufei frowned. He didn't know where it was.
"This is my hometown. I left my hometown when I was ten years old. I moved to another place with my mother. I'm ninety-six this year, and I haven't returned in 86 years..." Mr. Zhu looked at the town gate and sighed. He didn't speak fast, but Bai Choufei couldn't get in.
It's not that he doesn't want to get in, but he can't get in.
Mr. Zhu looked at the gate of the town and smiled: "When I left, this place was still a village that was not a village, not even a decent name, but now, you see, this place has not only become a small town, but also has a name."
Bai Choufei also looked up, and then blinked and was silent.
The name of the town is very simple and speechless.
This town is called Coal Town!
Although there are not many people entering the town, there are also many people. Bai Choufei and Mr. Zhu are full of smoke and dust. Although I asked a few questions, I didn't feel embarrassed, so I went straight into the town.
The town is not prosperous, but it is also plain. There are all kinds of people. Mr. Zhu walked all the way, and his face was much happier.
When people are happy, they usually think less. Mr. Zhu obviously thinks less, so he pulls Bai Coufei directly into a restaurant. He didn't think about how much money they had, or whether the money they had enough to eat here.
"What does the guest need?" Xiao Er immediately came to say hello. This town is neither big nor small. Xiao Er looks neither high nor low, because Xiao Er himself is the son of the boss. If the guests want more dishes, he has no tip. No matter how little he wants, he can eat well and drink well. The child's idea is so simple. So he sees that no one is different, so there are more guests in his restaurant...
"One catty of lotus white, one catty of beef, and a few more dishes. Eat something else before you eat it." Mr. Zhu's voice was obviously a little heroic, and the wine he called directly was lotus white. There are few people in this town who can afford to drink lotus white. So everyone looked at the old man.
Lotus white is a good wine, ten taels of silver per catty!
Bai Choufei had nothing to say, and there was no expression on his face. Others look at him as if he has hundreds of taels of silver on him. He does have silver on him. He may take out the silver in his hand, but there is absolutely no ten taels...
The dishes are not slow, because this is a restaurant. The more money you spend, the faster the dishes are served.
Mr. Zhu was also as bold as eating and drinking, so he soon got drunk at the table. The people who were still paying attention to them began to sigh, and it was not until then that Bai Choufei began to eat. He doesn't drink. But he ate a lot.
After he finished eating, Xiao Er stood beside him and didn't say anything, but he understood it very well.
It's time for you to check out.
Bai Choufei did not move or speak.
Xiao Er had to say, "Guest, do you want any more wine and dishes?"
Bai Choufei shook his head.
Xiao Er's face is already a little ugly.
Bai Choufei finally said, "I don't have money."
He doesn't care about taking out the money, but this is a small town. Mr. Mr. Zhu seems to be ready to stay. Ten taels of silver are enough for some gangsters to grab money. He can't let Mr. Zhu get into trouble.
He is already conscious, and it's good to be beaten.
Unfortunately, Xiao Er's face was ugly, and he didn't say anything. He just put away a few glasses of wine. Go back to him.
Bai Choufei looked at Xiao Er, and Xiao Er also looked at Bai Choufei, with some sympathy on his face.
"How long have you been walking on the road?" Xiao Er suddenly sat opposite him and sat down and asked.
"For more than four months." Bai Choufei replied, although he is a person who doesn't talk much, he always has to answer questions when he is wrong.
"At the beginning of the old gentleman's hometown, there is always something I want to show off. We are juniors. Even if we know that these things are a little wrong, we can only give up. This meal is my treat." Xiao Er nodded to Bai Choufei and got up and left.
Bai Xoufei was stunned, and he was stunned again.
He looked at Mr. Zhu, who was lying drunk here, and then at Xiao Er. He didn't say anything more. He carried Mr. Zhu and left. Their carriage was not far away. Although it was not very good, it was much better than sleeping on the table and on the ground.
