The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

The sale of the land was not publicized at first, but when the big house of the Xu family wanted to wait to see the tragic end of the Xu Bei brothers, they found out that the two brothers had left the village. When they came out, the big and small Wangs even went to Lizheng to make a fuss, scolding the two brothers with white-eyed wolves, and they dared to sell the land that belonged to the Xu family.

I also found out that the grandpa had meddled in this matter, and ran to their door and yelled at them. The nonsense of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made the grandma so angry that her heart ached. Daughters-in-law are probably going to blame their parents-in-law.The two daughters-in-law were not easy to provoke, so they stood at the door and scolded the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back.

Dachang Town is located beside the Changtong River, about two hours' walk away from Shangpo Village, because the Changtong River brings tourists from south to north, making Dachang Town more prosperous than the neighboring market towns.

Just after the natural disaster, the number of boats on the Changtong River has increased, and the Dachang Wharf is much busier than before. Before the weather has completely cooled down and the river has not frozen, merchants are taking advantage of the last time of the year to earn some hard money.

"Hey, boy Bei, hurry up, give me a bowl of hot tofu curd, and make some pancakes." A strong man with a big beard shouted at a vendor next to the pier.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, wait a moment." The loud response was very eye-catching. Following the voice, I saw a dark-skinned boy who was smiling so hard that his teeth could not be seen, busy in front of a stove. , and there was a delicate and fair boy beside him to help.

The Bei boy that the brawny man was talking about was Xu Bei. He sold the land and brought Xu Minqing to the town, rented a room, and spent two days finding out the situation in Dachang Town, and first made a little boy for food. Business.

The food they sell is also simple, just bean curd and pancakes, which are easy to make.Of course, this small business is only temporary, and his real goal is to focus on the passing freight. While doing small business, he uses his own words to establish close relationships with the people who got off the ship, and find his own opportunities from it.

The snack food business is not afraid of being imitated by others, and the time spent inquiring about things can't be wasted, right?I think back when he first came out of the countryside, he didn’t do anything. He went to the construction site to move bricks, sold omelets and spicy soup at the back door of the university, and went to the downtown market to set up a street stall at night. Don’t think that these things he did were not decent, and he was chased by the city management. , But with these small businesses, he saved his first pot of gold, and also met many famous people.In his opinion, as long as his mind is nimble and his hands and feet are diligent, coupled with his straightforward and loyal temperament, he can't break through anywhere.

There are two stoves on the wooden cart. On one side, the tofu curd is warmed with a small fire to prevent it from getting cold. Drinking a bowl of warm and smooth tofu curd in the cooler weather can warm people from head to toe. On the other stove, put After cutting a piece of iron sheet, Xu Bei skillfully flattened a piece of miscellaneous grains and dough into a circle, remembering the tastes of Big Brother Zhang and the others, grabbed a few small vegetables from the basket on the side and sprinkled them, and then dripped a few drops of oil on them.

When Zhang Meng and the big men came here, Xu Minqing had already scooped up the bean curd, and poured the mixed seasoning on it. It was salty and sour, and the aroma that wafted out attracted everyone nearby to stop and look at this side.

"Brother Zhang, this is your bean curd."

"Come on, come on, brothers, don't be too polite. I'm Zhang Meng treating guests today, and next time I'll invite brothers to a restaurant for a big meal." The burly man said boldly.

"Haha, my brothers thought that you would send us away with a few bowls of bean curd, old Zhang. Okay, I will have another meal in the restaurant, and I will let you know what heartache is."

"Do I, Zhang Meng, look like that kind of person? I have to drink you guys down!" Zhang Meng blew his beard and stared at his eyes, "Boy Bei, move quickly, there is no food in my stomach, just waiting for your pancake!" Fill it out."

With the stove turned on, Xu Bei quickly rolled up a piece of cake and handed it to Zhang Meng. While spreading the dough again, he kept talking: "Brother Zhang, didn't you say that you are going to sail to Suzhou today? What's the matter?" Were you delayed? Minqing, move a stool for Brother Zhang and the others."

"Okay, big brother."

"Boy Bei, boy Qing is really your younger brother? He is thin-skinned and tender-skinned, and he looks like he came from a scholar family. Let's look at you..." Zhang Meng pointed at Xu Bei with disgust and said with a smile, moving a stool just to listen When Xu Minqing arrived, his face turned red. Originally, he and his eldest brother were not brothers, but his eldest brother was worse than him. In his eyes, his elder brother was better than anything else, especially if he hadn't been supported by his elder brother these days, their life would be difficult. It's on.

Xu Bei didn't think it was different, instead he shook his head triumphantly and said, "Why isn't he my own brother? I don't even look at anyone's younger brother. Of course my Xu Bei's younger brother is not an ordinary person. He is smart and can read, and he is considerate of my brother." , this is a good brother who can't even beat him with a lantern."

Zhang Meng, who was drinking the tofu curd, almost spit it out, and laughed loudly: "I said you are fat and you are still panting, okay, okay, your brother is the best!"

The men around him also laughed, only Xu Minqing was blushed by his brother's praise, and because he had to take care of the stall and beat him up, he couldn't run away, so he stood there with a red face, However, there was still a warm feeling of reassurance in my heart, and even the panic and uneasiness caused by being scolded and rejected by the school master before gradually dissipated.

After not much effort, Xu Bei made four pancakes, closed the oven door again, washed his hands, sat with Zhang Meng and the others, and chatted with them. Xu Minqing brought his brother a bowl of hot bean curd, and ran away to clean up the bowl. The chopsticks are gone.

Only then did Zhang Meng talk about the delay in the trip: "Grandma, you idiot, we shipped all the goods, and those grandchildren came to pick and choose. If this batch of goods can't be sold, wait until we go back to the owner's place." Can't explain it either."

Speaking of knowing Zhang Meng and his group, it was also a coincidence. As soon as their boat arrived at the pier two days ago, someone rushed off the boat to ask for a doctor, saying that someone on board was sick, and it was Zhang Meng who was sick. The strong man suddenly gritted his teeth and spit white foam. Unfortunately, the sitting doctor in the medical hall went out for a visit that day, and he would not turn around for a while, so Xu Bei went up to have a look, and finally asked him to show it Mingtang is here.

It’s not that he can see patients, but that he has learned a lot from travelling. A brother once had an epileptic seizure and knew some first aid knowledge about epileptic seizures. When he saw those people’s improper handling of patients, he went up to help , After Zhang Meng returned to normal, he heard what his brother said about it, so he brought a gift and found Xu Bei who set up a stall to express his gratitude.

Xu Bei felt that he was of no help. Zhang Meng’s situation at the time was not very serious, so he refused to accept the gift, but he was willing to listen to Zhang Meng’s talk about outside affairs. Zhang Meng did not disagree. With the situation of the Bei brothers, I respect the young Xu Bei even more in my heart.
