Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

The three of them were a little confused when they heard what the boss said.

Lei Ze said: "I used to come here to eat noodles, but then I went out for a while and found that this noodle restaurant was gone."

The boss said: "Hey, the original boss ran away."

The three of them were even more confused.

The boss looked at the three people and said: "The original boss, his son has become promising and went to the academy. Didn't he give him 50 taels of gold?"

"Who would have known that as soon as this person got rich, he would start to become rude. He wouldn't do any cooking and would go to the poker hall to play cards all day long."

At this time, two people came from behind Lei Ze and said, "Hey, hey, hey, do you want to buy the one in front? The east side is long and the west side is short. You can chat later. My son is still waiting to eat roast chicken."

The boss also showed an embarrassed look: "Sir, why don't you wait a moment. It's almost Laba, and there are a lot of people."

Lei Ze took out one tael of gold and said, "I'll buy all the chickens you have."

The two people behind them looked at Lei Ze and the others with disdain, muttered: "Oh, I'm really impressed." and left cursing.

The boss burst into laughter upon hearing this, took the gold, and quickly took out the roasted chicken from the pot.

"Master, there are still 6 roast chickens, fifty coins each, and 3 taels of silver. Here are 97 taels for you."

"Roasted chicken is a little more expensive in winter, so please bear with me."

Lei Ze took the money and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Come on, bring the roasted chicken. I'll listen to your chatter while eating."

The boss busily brought the remaining roast chickens to the table at the back one by one. Each one was roasted to a golden and attractive color, exuding an alluring aroma.

Lei Ze tore off a piece and gave it to the little turtle to eat.

Then he said to the boss: "Boss, let's continue talking about Lao Li's family. I heard that he plays cards all day long?"

The boss said with emotion: "Yes, Lao Li and I are old neighbors. We have been here together for many years. I watched their son Li Fang grow up."

"The Shuncheng grocery store next to it belongs to me."

Xian Meng said: "Hey, then why are you coming out to cook roast chicken?"

The boss smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, girl. Let me take your time."

"This has to start with Lao Li's family. Speaking of Li Fang, he is trying to live up to his expectations. His father even pawned a lot of things and wanted to send Li Fang to the best school in Chihei City. This time That’s six years.”

"You must know that the tuition is not cheap. It is said to cost one or two gold per year. Hey, most of their family's annual income is spent on Li Fang's tuition."

"You may not know that at our level, it would be very difficult if there are no relatives or friends at home."

"So, Lao Li wants to send his child to study no matter what. He just hopes that he can get a good name."

The general asked: "Is it easy to take the test for merit?"

The boss shook his head: "It will definitely not be easy to take the exam. Think about how many students there are every year. The positions above will not be added out of thin air. New ones will only be recruited when someone quits or retires." People."

Xian Meng puzzled: "Then why do you have to take the exam? It's better to go to school to learn Chinese characters. And it's still six years. If you can learn Chinese characters, it's enough for one or two years."

The boss sighed with emotion: "Oh, who can say otherwise? This is what we advised Lao Li back then. Tell me, why do you have to go to the best school? It's not enough to just be literate. Fame is so easy to pass." Well, it would be good if one person out of a hundred can pass the exam.”

"How can he listen? He insists on sending Li Fang to study in the academy. But Li Fang is also trying his best. After six years, he finally became a disciple of the academy."

Xianmeng was confused again: "No, this is not because he strives for success. Isn't it because he has the talent for cultivation?"

The boss had a slightly questioning expression: "Huh? Isn't it because of Li Fang's hard work that he can practice?"

Lei Ze said: "Boss, how do you know that you can cultivate with hard work?"

The boss said: "I guess, it turns out that you can't become an immortal just by working hard."

The general looked at the boss expectantly and said, "Go on, boss, you just said that Li Fang has become a disciple of the academy."

The boss paused and continued: "Yes, Li Fang became a disciple of the academy and gave Old Li Tou 50 taels of gold. You must know that this is almost the income of Old Li Tou's family for forty or fifty years."

"Lao Li stopped making noodles after he got money. I remember when he first got gold, he always said: 'I have worked hard for half a lifetime, it's time to enjoy it.'"

"So Lao Li went to various entertainment venues, such as brothels and card halls."

The boss talked more and more enthusiastically: "When it comes to going to a brothel, there is nothing to say. I don't think Lao Li has a wife. After all, they are all men."

Xianmeng coughed lightly: "Cough..."

The boss looked at Xian Meng and said, "Sorry, sorry."

"The poker hall really ruined Lao Li. At the beginning, Lao Li won a lot of money, and he was bragging to me all day long. He was happy and could make money. This is much better than making noodles."

"But later on, Lao Li started to lose money. The same goes for this man. He wanted to win even more when he won, and he wanted to win even more when he lost. Moreover, after he lost, his bets increased every time. Thinking that you can win back all the money you lost in the past.”

"In the end, all the 50 taels of gold were lost. The house was also mortgaged."

"I couldn't bear it, so I bought this house for Lao Li to live in. You said that the neighbors who have been here for so many years can't let Lao Li live on the street."

After hearing this, the general said with emotion: "This is really an unpredictable world. What about Lao Li now?"

The boss sighed: "Lao Li, later I asked someone to borrow money to play, but I lost all my money. I never saw Lao Li again. No one knows where he is."

"A few days ago, someone came over to ask me about Lao Li's whereabouts. I thought you were also Lao Li's creditors."

"I happened to have bought this store before, and my son helped me manage the grocery store, so I came here to sell roast chicken."

After hearing this, Lei Ze wiped his mouth with his hand and wiped away the roasted chicken oil from the corner of his mouth. He swallowed and said, "Boss, your roast chicken tastes good."

"Let's go, we've finished eating the roast chicken, and we've finished listening to the story."

After saying that, Lei Ze left with Xianmeng and the general.

The boss looked at the chicken bones on the table and murmured: "This guy is really good at eating. He ate six chickens in just one conversation. Hey, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. It's better to earn money honestly." Bar."

After speaking, he picked up a piece of cloth next to him and wiped the table.
