Seventy Little Heads

Someone shouted over there, and the boy Shuxiu shuttled through the crowded lobby, looking very agile.

"It's amazing, he moves very fast, no wonder he does things so neatly."

After eating, I waited outside for the young man to work for a while. After lunch time, the restaurant was not so busy. The young man took the time to tell the two that he still had some time. When there were fewer guests, they would eat first. The hour break was when he came and took them to find someone.

Fearing that Goudan and Wang Xuan would get impatient and find someone else, he said, "He really knows a lot and is the best tour guide. And we have taken over. According to the rules, you can no longer do this business with others. This is the introduction fee. The young man took out the one yuan that Goudan gave him just now, and said, "This is the rule, I have to take responsibility for the money."

Try to straighten your back, as if to strengthen your persuasion and persuade others.

"Okay, for your sincerity, but you have to hurry up."

After about half an hour, the young man ran out directly, "Follow me."

Wang Xuan looked at it and said, "You don't eat?"

"I put it in a bowl, I'll come back to eat later," Wang Xuan looked at the sun, according to past experience, it would be about two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Where is this going?" The more he walked, the more desolate he was, and he could see the separation wall from afar.

"Me, my home. The tour guide is at my home."

"Not your family?"

"...Yes." After a while, the young man bowed his head and replied.

"However, he really knows a lot, and he doesn't ask you for tips except for the toll. He is really good at bargaining for people, and he will definitely guide you to find something you are satisfied with at a good price." The following words became lower and lower. , It's different from his self-confidence in Fanguan.

"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, I'm back."

The low and shabby door, the voice of agreement from inside, was clear and crisp, clearly a child.The boy peeked at the two of them with some embarrassment. From then on, the two knew that they might be fooled, but they felt that the boy did not show any malice towards them. The two were behind the boy, waiting to see what happened, or what happened What kind of tour guide should the teenager introduce to them.

"Brother." The boy who was about nine or ten years old looked at the two people behind the boy, and his eyes flashed brightly.

"Well, this is my brother Xiaoqian. Don't look at him as young. He is 13 years old and has been a tour guide for two years. There is nothing here that he doesn't know."

Goudan looked down at the shorter one who was said to be the best "tour guide". Isn't this a child? "It's him?" Goudan squinted at the boy.

"Isn't that the best tour guide? Is he ten years old?" Wang Xuan couldn't believe it, feeling that the two of them had been tricked.

"Hey, yes, it's him."

Before Wang Xuan could say anything else, the kid jumped out, speaking Mandarin better than his elder brother. "I am the best tour guide. Every time I bring people from other places, they are very satisfied. My colleagues (little partners) do not do as well as me. I get tips every time I finish. I really don't lie to you. "

Hey, he is quite sharp-tongued, and he speaks quickly, as if he is afraid that the two of them will not want to hire him because of his young age.

"Really? How can we trust you? We must know that you are not the only choice. But you speak Mandarin quite well. Who did you learn from?"

"That's right, I'm the only one who speaks Mandarin well among the little tour guides. Many people don't know how to speak it. So I get a lot of business from outsiders. I serve as a tour guide for them, and I listen to what they say. It took a long time to understand."

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen."

"Really?" Wang Xuan looked into his eyes and asked.The child answered "really" firmly, if he hadn't seen the flash of guilty conscience, he would have almost believed it. "We didn't know at the beginning, and you didn't tell me, so you hid it beforehand. In terms of price..."

"It's negotiable. We didn't make it clear. We are willing to have less, but it can't be too little. It's not worthwhile." Why is this kid so smart?Before he could open his mouth, he said it quickly. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't look like him, Wang Xuan would almost have thought he was the son of a bitch when he was a child.Really much smarter than his brother.And a lot more decisive.

Knowing that the two were dissatisfied, they immediately said that they were willing to lower the price, but they would not allow customers to cut the employment price too hard at will, so as to make the fruits of their labor cheap, saying "not too low".

Goudan obviously understood, they are all smart people, why don't they know what this brat is planning?But from the looks of it, he should be an "old tour guide". Judging by the way he talks about business, he should be usable.

"Okay, to be fair, half of the tour guide fee will be paid first, but if you don't perform well, the latter half may be discounted at that time. If you perform well, we will keep the contract and pay it off?"

"Okay, I believe you will keep your promise. We are the original villagers here. If some people want to renege on their debts, they probably won't be able to leave."

Ha ha.

Little bunny!

So why is it so frustrating to meet someone like me?

Xiaoqian turned around swiftly, entered the room with her brother as if talking to someone, and soon saw him coming out with a small satchel on his back and a gray beret on his head. son.The boy also came out from behind, closed the door, and the two brothers walked out with Goudan and Wang Xuan.

The boy said a few words to Goudan and Wang Xuan bluntly, and then spoke the local dialect to the boy named Xiaoqian as if he was asking him to.Xiaoqian waved his hand, and the boy hurried back to the restaurant again.

Wang Xuan looked thoughtfully at the young man who was leaving, and the two followed the little boy.

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the biggest shopping mall here first. I heard that it was built according to the shopping mall over the sea. It's very, very modern urban shopping mall." It seems that he has learned a lot of new words, and the words are quite similar. .Anyway, Goudan and Wang Xuan have never heard many words before, and they think they are really fresh.

On the other side of the sea, the two who have studied history and geography naturally know what place they are talking about.

"Have many people in your village been to the sea before?"

"No."

Is it so absolute?There is a problem when you hear it.

The little boy was just like what he said, except that he was short, he had to take two quick steps from time to time to avoid being left behind, and he had to look up at the two of them when he was talking, but he spoke clearly and logically.Some of the questions of the two of them were actually answered.

This is very familiar, or some adults have given them popular science, and they have picked it up and recited it.

The boy said to them: "The reason why we are going to the mall is not only for you to see it, but also because you can find a lot of goods there. When you see what you want to buy, let's remember, I know where to buy it when you come outside. It’s more cost-effective. The things in the mall will be more expensive than the places I’m going to take you, so it’s not worth it.”

"There are many processing factories here, right?"

"Yes, if you need a large enough quantity, some defective products are very cheap. Many foreigners come here to buy goods. Those who don't have enough money will find someone to buy these defective products. It's very cheap." At the end, I emphasized again that it is very cheap .

As Xiaoqian walked, she pointed out to them what the buildings they passed by were for, what kind of plaza was being built, and what they would do in the future.It's hard to imagine how much he can hold in his little head.So he is a smart person. If it were his elder brother, let alone speak fluent Mandarin, he might not be as good at reciting here.

The shopping malls in the so-called metropolitan cities are different from the shopping malls in county towns. The shelves inside are not separated by glass cabinets, and customers can directly touch the items.This is so novel, I can't believe it.It is so satisfying to touch the items when shopping, and to choose the things you like.

Under Xiaoqian's reminder, the two picked up the basket inside the gate and hung it on their arms.Following the example of others, he also went shopping, with the salesperson wearing a uniform at the side walking up and down, checking with sharp eyes to see if anyone would sneak something into Sai's arms.

Clean floors, high ceilings, and bright incandescent lamps make it feel like you have come to another world.I want to put everything in my basket when I see it.Xiaoqian quietly stepped forward and said, "You can buy it outside."

"..."

"Is there something like this outside? Foreign characters."

"It's about the same. It's fine to use it anyway. Why do you have to use a foreign language?" The child was quite reasonable.

"Brother Goudan, look at the thick clothes, how warm it is in winter." The two touched their hands, and they didn't feel the discomfort of touching the thick clothes because of the hot summer, not to mention that there are big iron bars on the high places of the mall. The leaf fan rotates whirringly, and it doesn't feel too hot inside.

The shopping mall is very wide and large, with three floors in total, and the things on each floor are different, full of beautiful things, and the eyes of the two were greatly satisfied.It is hard to describe the shock of coming from a place with poor supplies to a place full of goods and piles of food.

The two of them almost forgot the time when they were walking around, if Xiaoqian hadn't reminded them, they would have forgotten that there was business.I wish I could just live in such a place, unpack and eat if I want to eat, and use it directly if I want to use it, how beautiful it is.

The three of them went shopping for a long time, but when they came out, they didn't buy anything.They put the empty basket back, which made the security guards at the gate look down on them.No business in that family would welcome such guests.

Xiaoqian is obviously used to it. When he receives customers, his first stop is here, and the security guards at the gate often see him.Most of the time, it is as empty-handed as it is now, or even if it is bought, it is very little.People knew that a group of poor ghosts came to see the world, but the mall was originally open for business, and they were also customers. Even if they didn't buy for a long time, they had to let people in.
