I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 364
Peach has been away for a long time, I am still sitting in the tavern under the night, I have been paying attention to the tourists coming and going on the street, I try to perceive their mood through the night.

Most of them are happy, because the smiles are always on their faces, especially those couples who come to travel as a pair.

There are also very few lonely people who sit on the street, staring blankly at something, and don't even notice that the cigarette in their hand is about to burn out...

No one knows what they have experienced. Their grievances are hidden in the night, which adds some depth to the city of Dali. The so-called Dali is a city with a story. It is probably these people who are talking about it. After all, the city is There is no actual life, and its background is all endowed by people.

……

Taozi left just like that, and there was another story in the city of Dali, but before that, she and Tie Nan were like other people on the street, swaying tenderness here...

Hehe, no one would care about this. If someone else looked at Taozi at this time, it would probably be the same as I looked at the man smoking on the street. Apart from feeling sorry for him, there would be no more turmoil in his heart.

From this point of view, the world is really indifferent!

I finally withdrew my gaze to explore, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip. What I swallowed along with the wine was the turmoil of this world.I was so calm, and I also forgot the back of Tao Zi when she left.

What can I say about her choice?

I just hope that in the future, she will have a better life than this period in Dali... As for the 17 she left behind, I will definitely pass it on for her, it is the last thing I do for her.

I also hope that Tetsuo can take it lightly. After all, life is impermanent... No matter how much pain there is, it will eventually be forgotten.

But I don’t know why, thinking of Taozi and Tetsuo’s journey along the way, I still feel depressed; I can’t figure out why two people who have tried so hard to be together have come to this point.

And who is the wrong person?
……

This night, I seemed to be spending it for someone else. I had just sent Tao Zi off, and then received a call from Bai Lu, who also said that she wanted to meet me.

Let me tell you the truth, ever since Director Ma chose to become a monk in Jizu Mountain, I was very afraid of meeting Bai Lu. Although Director Ma's choice of becoming a monk has nothing to do with me, as friends of both parties, I don't want to see Bai Lu living alone in the mundane world Suffering in dunya.

I always feel that I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a friend. Maybe if I persuade Ma Guidance more, he will not go to Jizu Mountain.

Yes, that's how the guilt towards Bai Lu came about.

……

Still in this bar, Bai Lu and I met, and she sat in the same seat that Tao Zi had just sat in. She first looked at me, and then asked me: "I haven't seen each other for a long time, are you in a better mood?" ?"

"As long as I'm not alone, I'm in a good mood."

Bai Lu smiled, and after a short silence, she took out a medicine jar-like thing from her handbag, handed it to me, and said, "This is the rhinitis spray I asked a friend to bring back from Japan. It is especially useful for allergic rhinitis...Xiao Ma has been avoiding me, please pass it on to him for me...The temperature difference between day and night on Jizu Mountain is bigger than below, as long as he catches a cold, he will definitely suffer from rhinitis...Foke He can't cure his rhinitis!"

"Well, leave this to me..."

After a short pause, I asked Bai Lu in a low voice, "How are you? How are you?"

"Is it okay?!"

I do not know what to say.

Bai Lu lit a lady's cigarette. She was dumbfounded at first, and then said, "It's impossible for me to understand his decision, unless I really don't have feelings for him anymore, so I don't care about anything...you say , is that the reason?"

"Well, even if you don't want to, this thing has already happened... You should make plans for the future."

"I came to you today, and there is still half of it, just for this matter... I have been back to Dali for a while, and I can't be idle like this... These two days, I thought of a project, and I want to come to you to discuss it, to discuss it , see if we can do it."

"What project?"

"I want to open a vegetarian restaurant, just for those who are devoted to Buddha."

"This……"

Bai Lu explained again: "I didn't mean to target Xiao Ma, I really think this is a business opportunity... There are too many people who believe in Buddhism in Dali, and [-]% to [-]% of them are high-end people. I chose to settle here because I like the Buddhist atmosphere here in Dali... But there are no high-end vegetarian restaurants in Dali at present, what I want to do is such a high-end vegetarian restaurant..."

I asked with doubts: "People who look to the Buddha have nothing in their hearts, and they don't care about high-end or low-end."

Bai Lu showed disdain, and she replied: "Have nothing in mind?... How high do you think these people's realm is!... Let me tell you, eighty to ninety percent of them are what the Buddha wants, You also need to save face... To put it bluntly, they are not really obsessed with this culture, they just want to find a refuge for themselves. .”

"If it's what you said, then the market demand in Dali should be quite large."

"Yes, it also indirectly shows that there are also many hypocritical people in this place... So, I never think that Dali is a paradise, it is just a way and means for many people to paint themselves."

I think Bai Lu is a bit extreme, but I didn't refute her. I have to understand her feelings, because the man she loves the most was taken away by Buddha, so it's normal for her to feel hostile.

I asked her, "Even if it's a vegetarian restaurant, if it's a high-end restaurant, the investment shouldn't be small, right?"

"Well, so I want to open it in Jiulongju... Such a restaurant is not suitable for a place with a lot of traffic."

"How big is the pavement?"

"The pavement doesn't need to be too big, 150 square meters is enough. My high-end is reflected in the ingredients."

"Well, if you really want to do it in Jiulongju, there are really two sets of connected shops in my place, both of which are 70 square meters. You can open up a restaurant."

"How about the rent?"

I replied truthfully: "In the first year, our studio does not need to pay rent to the owner, so in the first year, you can give us a cost price, [-] a year for two sets of shops."

"A total of [-] for two sets, or [-] for each?"

"A total of fifty thousand."

Bai Lu was surprised at first, and then said: "Mi Gao, in business, you really don't have to be too polite with me... I don't know, during this period, your studio is doing advertising and installing street lights, etc. A lot of money was spent on the project. The rent of two sets of shops is [-], and I took advantage of you too much!"

"So I said it was the cost price for you. I didn't make a profit, but I didn't lose either."

Bai Lu weighed it up, and then said: "I'm really short on funds, so you have to give me some favors... How about this, I'll give you 8 yuan a year in rent for these two sets of shops, if you If you refuse, you are forcing me not to open a restaurant in your commercial street."

Bai Lu seemed to have been prepared for a long time. As she said, she took out 1 yuan in cash from her handbag, saying that it was a deposit, and then insisted on me agreeing to this matter.

In fact, whether it's the [-] I said, or the [-] Bai Lu insisted on giving, I'm definitely the one who suffers...

It's not that I don't have the awareness to be a businessman, it's just because the other party is Bai Lu: one of the few people that I treat with sincerity in Daide, that's why I set this price for her.

Yes, in my heart...Bai Lu, Director Ma, Tie Nan, Tao Zi, Yang Sisi, are all the first happiness when I came to Dali... I have a complex in my heart, so when I see any of them, I will I think back to those days when I first built a sea view inn, and it was that sea view inn that accompanied me through the most difficult time in my life.

But the situation in front of me is embarrassing, as if everyone just took a nap, everyone dispersed, those who left were in pain, and those who stayed were even more painful... But the so-called love affair has never changed.
