Chapter 2 Seawater is Salty and Bitter

After talking, Yucheng asked Zhanyou: "Zhanyou, since you also wanted to start a business, now, would you like to set up a street stall with me?"

Zhanyou looked at Hou Yucheng, Hou Yucheng said: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to." Zhanyou said: "What do you sell at the street stall?" Hou Yucheng said: "I sell fruits. You can eat whatever you want. "Speaking of this, both of them laughed.

Zhanyou said: "Okay. How can I contact you?" Hou Yucheng said: "Give you my phone number." Zhanyou said: "I didn't bring a phone. I didn't bring anything. I came to throw myself into the sea. What are you doing with these!"

Hou Yucheng said: "Just tell me your phone number. I'll call you!" Zhanyou nodded and said, "Okay! Hou Yucheng, thank you! From now on, should I call you 'boss'?"

Hou Yucheng said: "Don't don't, don't, it sounds like you should panic! It's okay to buy fruit." Zhanyou said: "I'm a part-time worker!" Hou Yucheng said: "It's all part-time workers! Work for a living Yes!" After saying that, he let out a long sigh and lay down on the beach.

Zhanyou turned to look at him and said, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing, are you unhappy?"

Hou Yucheng smiled wryly and said, "Unfortunately, things are always the same, but they are no different from the speaker." Then Hou Yucheng closed her eyes, opened them again, and said, "So some scholars die for their confidants! What do you think?"

Zhanyou said: "We are both degenerate people in the world, why should we know each other when we meet again!" Zhanyou also lay down.Said: "Hou Yucheng, did you come to play at the beach?" Hou Yucheng said: "Yes! There is no one here, do you think there is anyone else besides you and me?" Zhanyou said: "I know. So, I I also chose this place. You don’t like crowded places either?”

Hou Yucheng said: "Yes. But not completely." Zhanyou said: "How to say?" Hou Yucheng said: "I come to the beach, just want to be quiet and quiet, so I don't go to crowded beaches. But , If there are many people who sell goods, it will be profitable, what do you think?" Zhanyou said with a smile: "That's the truth!"

Not long after, the sea water began to rise.Zhanyou said: "Hou Yucheng, get up quickly, the tide is rising." The two got up and went to a higher place.Hou Yucheng said: "It's rare to come here when I have time, I have to watch the tide rise and fall!"

Coming soon.The tide violently hits the beach rocks, thousands of waves, turbulent splashes.Hit Hou Yucheng on the face.Hou Yucheng said: "This sea water is really salty and bitter! But it's a must! You need salt!" After finishing speaking, Hou Yucheng looked at Zhanyou and smiled.

Zhanyou said seriously: "Hou Yucheng, thank you!" Hou Yucheng still smiled and said: "Thank me for what?" Zhanyou said: "Thank you for saving my life! You saved me, I haven't thanked you yet !"

Hou Yucheng said: "Rather than thanking me for saving my life, it is better to thank me for my kindness!" Zhanyou said: "The kindness of knowing you is not for thanking, but for repaying!"

Hou Yucheng smiled and said: "I don't have any friends anyway, I came to play today, I saved a person and gained a friend, I made a lot of money!" Zhanyou said: "Me too!"

Hou Yucheng, you saved everything!Saved the happiness of your life!Zhanyou, you are reborn!The person who makes you reborn will be the person of your life!

The tide gradually receded, and many shell fish and shrimp appeared on the beach.Hou Yucheng said: "There are seafood! Hurry down and pick them up! Pick them up and eat them at home!" The two went down to pick up a lot, and Hou Yucheng put them in the cloth bag they carried with them.Packed a bag full.

Hou Yucheng said: "I can't eat alone, Zhanyou, come to my house to eat. Today should be a good celebration!" Zhanyou nodded: "Okay!"

The sea breeze blows, Hou Yucheng returns home with a bag of seafood in his left hand, and Zhanyou walks on his right.

Hou Yucheng said: "Zhanyou, where are you from?" Zhanyou said: "I am a Han Taoist, at the junction with Yunyang, and we will be there in two hours."

Hou Yucheng said: "I was in the Yunyang Orphanage since I was a child, and I have never left Yunyang." Then he said: "Zhanyou, why don't we go out and play together some other day?" Zhanyou said: "Okay! Zhongling City Yes, there are many delicious foods. It’s a good place.” Hou Yucheng said, “Have you been there?” Zhanyou said, “I was an intern in Zhongling City.”

Unknowingly, the two came to Hou Yucheng's house.Zhanyou was shocked.It is a small, low house, the roof is not made of bricks and tiles, but asbestos tiles and colored steel tiles, and the surrounding fence is made of reeds.There is a small electric tricycle in front of the door.

Hou Yucheng moved away from the fence and said, "Come in." Zhanyou came in and saw that there were some flowers and vegetables planted beside the reed fence.separated by bricks.Hou Yucheng opened the door and said, "Come on, come in and sit down!"

When Zhanyou entered the room again, there was no furniture in the room.There was only one unpainted cabinet, a wooden floor, a small table, two small benches, and a bed.

Zhanyou looked at the bed, feeling a little awkward.Can't help asking: "Hou Yucheng, what's the matter with your bed?"

Hou Yucheng said with a smile: "My bed is actually a big cabinet I ordered. It is laid flat and can be used for storing things and sleeping." Zhanyou said, "You ordered it yourself?" Hou Yucheng said: " yes!"

Zhanyou exclaimed: "It's really not easy!" Hou Yucheng said: "It's okay, I've gotten used to it a long time ago! A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest." Zhanyou said: "It's actually quite good. No matter how much Concise, after all, there is a place to live." Hou Yucheng said: "I will go outside like tables and stools, let's eat and drink as we please!" After a lot of work, the two finally sat down to eat seafood.

Hou Yucheng said: "Zhanyou, do you want a cold drink or a cold beer?" Zhanyou said: "I'll just drink some water." Hou Yucheng said: "Then bring a bottle of boiling water."

The two sat in front of the door. Hou Yucheng drank green tea and cooked a lot of seafood. Hou Yucheng also cooked some vegetables, plus a plate of cold cucumber and a plate of jellyfish.Also cut dragon fruit, kiwi, cantaloupe, peach, papaya and other fruits.The two talked while eating.

Zhanyou said: "Hou Yucheng, let me ask you, how hard was it after you left the orphanage?" Hou Yucheng drank a cold drink, shook her head and smiled.Zhanyou said again: "At that time, you definitely didn't have such a hut, and where did you live?" Hou Yucheng just smiled and didn't say anything.When Zhanyou saw Hou Yucheng in front of him, he felt inexplicably sad.

Hou Yucheng smiled and said: "Come here, you are welcome! Eat whatever you want! To be honest, I have never invited anyone to dinner, don't dislike my simple place." Zhanyou said: "How could it be! Actually, I think your place It's pretty good. I like it very much." Hou Yucheng smiled and said, "Eat a shell. I haven't eaten it either. I don't know if it's good or not." When they ate it, it was too bland.

Zhanyou said: "I need to add more salt. It's too bland and tasteless." Hou Yucheng said: "Yes." Then pour salt into the pot and stir again.Zhanyou said: "I'll eat it later. Wait until it's salted."

Hou Yucheng nodded and said, "This is the first time I've eaten seafood, Zhanyou, have you ever eaten it?" Zhanyou said, "I have, but I've only eaten swimming crabs and nothing else." Hou Yucheng Said: "Then you are welcome, eat more." Zhanyou nodded.

Hou Yucheng said: "The seawater is salty and bitter, but the seafood is quite delicious." Zhanyou said: "Isn't the salt also from the sea? But it has gone through a lot of processing."

Hou Yucheng nodded, and said again: "Zhanyou, how did you feel when you threw yourself into the sea?" Zhanyou said: "At that time, I just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Zhanyou took a sip of tea and said again: "Because when you find out that what you are doing is not for yourself, but is driven to do it, then you are not living for yourself, even if you have suffered and suffered After all the exhaustion and suffering, in the end, let alone the slightest understanding, there is no rest for a moment, there are only endless complaints and non-stop operation, like a machine, there must be no lag. Because once you stop , said the machine is useless. And I live like a machine. However, after a long time of use, the machine will become hot and damaged. And people are dead.”

Hou Yucheng said, "Have you ever thought about living for yourself?"

Zhanyou smiled wryly, and said: "Why don't I want to live for myself! Otherwise, why would I resign to choose an extremely difficult start-up business! The difficulty of starting a business is unimaginable! You say, those who don't even know what a start-up is , Do you know the difficulties and hardships? They only know that you didn’t go to work and didn’t earn any money. You’re just doing nothing. Make some money."

Hou Yucheng said: "Indeed, I also like to start a business! In fact, I also want to do other things, but my ability is limited. The most important thing is that there is no one to share the troubles and sorrows. However, my good thing is that no one forces me .”

Zhanyou shook his head and said, "Hou Yucheng, I'm asking you a bad question." Hou Yucheng said, "What's the question?"

Zhanyou said: "You are an orphan, then, have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"

Hou Yucheng said: "No." After taking a sip of tea, Hou Yucheng said again: "Why do I want them! I don't care why I'm in the orphanage, I don't know them, and I don't need to know them. I'm alive now I'm very happy, I don't want to add trouble to myself!" Zhanyou nodded and said, "I understand how you feel."

Hou Yucheng said: "Come on, eat the shells. This time it's salty and tastes good." Zhanyou nodded.How long the two ate and talked, they were very devoted.After eating and tidying up, it was getting late.

Hou Yucheng said: "Zhanyou, are you still leaving? If you don't leave, you can stay with me first. Don't you think it's crowded?" Zhanyou said: "Okay!"

In the evening, after the two of them took a shower, Hou Yucheng turned on the air conditioner, and it cooled off after a while.

Zhanyou said: "Hou Yucheng, no one has ever talked with me so openly." Hou Yucheng said: "Me too." Zhanyou said: "No one is willing to listen to me tell the sorrow in my heart." Yucheng said: "Me too."

Zhanyou said: "Now I finally know why it is said that 'a scholar dies for a confidant'. A scholar can only say what he says and do his best when he meets a confidant. No wonder after Ziqi's death, Boya is absolutely perfect!" Hou Yu Cheng nodded, and said, "Zhanyou, you said you want to start a business, in what field do you want to start a business?"

Zhanyou said: "Do you know national costumes?" Hou Yucheng said: "Hanfu?" Zhanyou said in surprise: "You know?" Hou Yucheng said: "I saw someone wearing it. It's very beautiful, so I will wear it." I asked about it. I know a little bit." Zhanyou said, "That's exactly what I want to do."

Hou Yucheng said: "Really? I think so too! I even bought a Hanfu!" As she spoke, she went to the cabinet to take it out.

Hou Yucheng said: "I bought a round-neck gown and a Jin jacket." Hou Yucheng took it out and put it on the bed, it was a red round-neck gown.

Zhanyou said: "Do you wear this round neck robe with a leather belt or a palace belt?" Hou Yucheng said: "Both of them. I bought one of each." Then he took out Jinru as well.Jin Ru is green.Zhanyou said: "I also have this Jin jacket! However, I am blue." Hou Yucheng said: "Really? I think it looks good! But I don't know much about it."

Zhanyou said: "I checked the relevant information and bought a lot. Now, I want to start a business, which is about Hanfu. Open a store of my own, inherit Han culture, and let more people know about our traditional Han costumes." Hou Yucheng said: "Your idea is very good!"

Zhanyou said: "The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. It's so cruel that you can't imagine."

Hou Yucheng said: "I also want to create, let's create together, and venture together! Now, with courage and motivation, it is also suffering, why not suffer for the career you like? Instead of wasting your efforts on not being interested things!"

Zhanyou was surprised and delighted and said: "I think so too! You spoke from the bottom of my heart!" Then said: "I'll get some information for you when I get home tomorrow. You will know." Hou Yucheng nodded and said : "Okay!" Zhanyou said: "Hou Yucheng, there is one more thing, I don't know if you agree or not." Hou Yucheng said: "Tell me."

Zhanyou said: "I think, for the time being, I will move to your house first—" Before Zhanyou finished speaking, Yucheng said, "Okay! That's great! Don't you still want to set up a street stall with me? Just right!"

Zhanyou said: "Then I will go home and move here tomorrow." Hou Yucheng said: "Okay!" Then said: "Zhanyou, tell me first." Zhanyou said: "Okay! Bring my Hanfu!" Hou Yucheng said: "Good good good good good good!"

What will happen tomorrow, we will talk about it later.
