I really don't want to be a teacher

The restaurant owner heard the sound, noticed the old man, put down the dish he was choosing, stood up, walked out, and greeted the old man.

"...I'm sorry, I'm a little late today, so I brought the food to you just now."

The old man was a little embarrassed, and said to the restaurant owner, paused, and then said,

"...Don't go in. My body and feet are almost covered with mud. Don't trample on the tiles in your restaurant. You have to drag them again. I'll trouble Boss Tao to take the dishes in."

Looking down at the wet shoes on his feet, the old man was a little embarrassed, and said to the restaurant owner,

"...It's never too late, it's agreed, just deliver it before dinner. Uncle Cheng, you are right now, I open the store to welcome customers, so there is no reason to be afraid of being trampled on the floor."

The restaurant owner responded with a smile, looked at the appearance of the old man again, and couldn't help asking again.

"... Uncle Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

"...I fell down in the ground and got some water, nothing."

Laughing, the old man said aloud,

"...It's such a cold day, Uncle Cheng, why don't you sit in the restaurant for a while. It's warmer in the restaurant, and you can leave after your clothes are dry."

"...No, no...I have to sell the rest of the basket of vegetables after I deliver the food to you, Boss Tao."

"...Why don't you give me all these dishes, Uncle Cheng, anyway, I always ask for them in this shop."

"...That's not going to work, I have to save this dish for others..."

The old man smiled, waved his hand, and said aloud.

"...That's ok...then Uncle Cheng, you go in and sit down in the store. I'll take the vegetables in and give you the money for the vegetables."

The restaurant owner stood up again, said aloud, bent down a little, picked up one of the bamboo baskets containing some vegetables, and walked into the restaurant, the kitchen next to the lobby.

The old man laughed, but still stood where he was, and did not enter the restaurant.

……

"...Uncle Cheng, here, Uncle Cheng, take this and wipe off the muddy water on your body... This is an old dress I wore, don't dislike it, Uncle Cheng, take it and wear it first, it will be warmer, wait for two days , When you see when you bring me food to the restaurant again, just bring it to me."

Not long after, the restaurant owner came out of the restaurant carrying an empty bamboo basket, holding a handkerchief and a thick padded jacket.

"……thanks, thanks……"

The old man paused, then reached out to take the handkerchief, wiped some muddy water on his body, thanked him non-stop,

"...What are you thanking... I have to thank you, Uncle Cheng. You are always on time and deliver the food I want at noon. Every time the food is delivered, it is still neatly arranged. I don’t even have the leaves of older vegetables, I’ll take them back, wash them and use them directly, no need to choose again... Uncle Cheng, here, here’s the money for vegetables this time, take a look.”

"...Thank you...Thank you...this handkerchief..."

"...It's okay, just give it to me...Uncle Cheng, please put this dress on..."

"……thanks, thanks."

The old man took the money for the vegetables and held the wiped veil in his hand, which was stained with mud, hesitating for a while.

The restaurant owner reached out and took it directly, and then handed the clothes to the old man.

The old man took the clothes and thanked him over and over again.

Chapter 749

"……thanks, thanks……"

Thanking him, the old man pulled the transparent plastic cloth on his body and took it off.

He took off his cotton-padded jacket that was stained with mud and water, and threw it into the empty bamboo basket,

Then stooped a little more, and put on the clothes handed over by the restaurant owner,

"...Boss Tao... After this trip, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver food to your store for a while..."

After putting on the clothes given by the restaurant owner, the old man bowed his waist again, stood up again, looked up at the restaurant owner and said aloud,

"...The vegetables in the field have been picked this time...the newly planted ones are still not good..."

Standing again, there was a pause, the old man lowered his head, looked at the clothes he was wearing,

"...This dress is waiting to go back, I will wash it, and I will have someone bring it to Boss Tao tomorrow..."

"...It's okay, then when will you see that there are vegetables in the field again, Uncle Cheng, remember to save some for me, Uncle Cheng, the vegetables you send every time are much better than the ones I bought from the vegetable market. All the guests praised... As for the clothes, Uncle Cheng, see when you go to the street, just bring them over, don't worry."

The restaurant owner listened, smiled and continued.

"...Thank you, thank you... Then I'll go first, Boss Tao, you are busy."

The old man looked at the restaurant owner with a smile on his face, he laughed, and then said aloud,

"...Then Uncle Cheng, take your time. When the vegetables in the field are ready, I will definitely send some more."

"……well……"

Laughing and responding to the sound, the old man took the shoulder pole, picked up two ends, one end put the cotton jacket that had been taken off, and the other end neatly arranged two bamboo baskets with vegetables, and stood up again.

Turning his head and looking at the restaurant, the old man stood up again, picked up two bamboo baskets, moved his feet, and walked forward along the street.

At both ends of the shoulder pole, the two baskets containing the padded jacket and the leftover vegetables swayed slightly with the old man.

……

Looking up, watching the old man walking along the street,

The restaurant owner stood in front of the restaurant again before turning around and walking into the restaurant.

"...Uncle Cheng delivered the food?"

In the restaurant, the waiter who was choosing dishes raised his head and looked at the street outside the restaurant, then turned around and asked the restaurant owner,

"...I have delivered the vegetables we agreed on earlier...but the vegetables delivered this time are used up, so I'm afraid I have to go to the vegetable market to buy... Uncle Cheng said that the batch of vegetables in the field has been picked, and the newly loaded vegetable seedlings It hasn't grown up yet..."

"...The vegetables in the vegetable market are not as good as those delivered by Uncle Cheng. They are picked for you in a rush of dew, and they are neatly cleaned for you, and they are all washed clean for you...Uncle Cheng once a year Vegetables are grown in the four seasons, so why are they gone..."

Hearing what the restaurant owner said, the waiter stopped what he was doing, raised his head, looked outside the restaurant, and opened his mouth to say,

"...I'm getting old, Uncle Cheng is also at this age, he must be a little immobile..."

The restaurant owner also looked out of the street, then turned his head to look up the street, and spoke again.

The waiter listened, turned around, was silent,

"...I don't know when the vegetables in Uncle Cheng's field will grow well again."

……

Seeing the old man carrying a pole with bamboo baskets on both ends, walking far along the street,

Turning his gaze again, he glanced at the restaurant,

Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Xiaoying beside him,

"Let's add another dish tonight."

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge said aloud to Gu Xiaoying,

Gu Xiaoying looked at the restaurant next to him and the old man walking forward, turned his gaze back, and nodded towards Lian Ge,

"it is good."

Walking along the street, Lian Ge walked not far behind the old man.

……

Stepping on the pair of muddy and not yet dry shoes, the old man carried a shoulder pole with two bamboo baskets on it,

Not far from the entrance of the restaurant, the old man stopped by the street again.

On the side of the street, there are also some stalls selling vegetables, shouting and greeting customers,

In another place where no one was setting up a stall, the old man stood up, looked at the street, and put down the two bamboo baskets he was carrying.

"...Old Cheng, come out. I also said that you won't be here today."

"...Come out, come out."

There was also a stall next to it, and the stall owner who had not much food left saw the old man and turned his head to say hello.

Laughing, the old man responded,

Move your feet again, bend your waist, turn around,

Putting the shoulder pole beside him, he put the bamboo basket with stacks and vegetables in front of him, and moved the bamboo basket with the changed clothes behind him,

The old man crouched and stood behind the bamboo basket containing vegetables, looked at the vegetables in the bamboo basket in front of him, then raised his head to look at the bustling pedestrians on the street,

"...Sell vegetables, sell vegetables...Sell vegetables..."

……

"...How do you sell this vegetable? How much is this lettuce?"

"...a piece of lettuce is a pound."

"...What about this one, how much spinach is it?"

"Two pieces of spinach."

Moving their feet, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying walked to the stall set up by the old man,

In front of the booth, there was already a woman squatting down, asking the price, and the old man responded with a smile.

In front of the old man, in the bamboo basket, there are some seasonal vegetables neatly arranged by category.

The spinach held a few straws and bundled them one by one, and the leaves of the lettuce had been shaved to the point that only the young leaves on the tip of the lettuce were neatly stacked and bundled.

The same goes for other vegetables, either in handfuls or bundles tied with straw, or placed neatly.

I can't see the old leaves on the vegetables, and it seems that they have been washed, and there is no muddy water.

"...Weigh two pieces of lettuce for me, and then two white radishes, these radishes look very juicy."

The woman looked at the vegetables in the bamboo basket and said again,

"……well,"

Responding, the old man took out the steelyard from the bamboo basket where the clothes were placed beside him, untied the straw binding the lettuce, picked up two lettuces, put them on the weighing pan, weighed them, and then weighed two more. root radish,

"It's six yuan and thirty cents in total, and I'll charge you six yuan."

He took a bag from the plastic bag hanging from the handle of the bamboo basket, put the weighed vegetables into the bag, and handed it to the woman in front of the booth.

"...That's all, then give me another four yuan worth of spinach..."

"……it is good……"

Smiling, the old man responded, bent down again, picked up the vegetables in the bamboo basket, and said.

……

"...Young man, girls, what do you want to buy?"

The woman left with the vegetables she bought.

The old man turned his head, looked at Lian Ge and the two who had turned around, smiled and greeted them again.

"Let's take a look first."

Lian Ge glanced at the old man, and responded aloud,

Turning his gaze again, he glanced at some vegetables in the bamboo basket in front of the old man.

"...Success, you see."

The old man smiled and agreed.

"...Hey, old Cheng, you're out of business."

At this moment, a shout of surprise sounded on the street,

On the street, an old woman saw an old man with a stall on the side of the street, she shouted in surprise, and then hurried towards the old man's stall,

"... out of the stall, out of the stall..."

Smiling, the old man looked at the old woman, answered, paused, and asked again,

"Look what to eat today."
