Chopsticks and some kitchen utensils.Next to Tang Qi was a tank, which was exactly what Tang Yan asked him to hide when he first came here to hide Tang Futai and brought people here.
Then, Tang Qi squatted down, and it turned out that a hole was dug out in the ground next to the tank, almost the size and depth of an adult's hands spread out, and there was not only a lot of water in the hole, but also swimming in the water. A red carp.
Seeing the red carp swimming leisurely in the small cave, Tang Qi said with a smile: "When I match you up, I will give you to your master." Speaking of this, Tang Qi laughed again, "You said when When I send you to Bai Jingyuan, will he throw himself into his arms because he is too excited? Well...it is very possible." Tang Qi rubbed his chin, nodded again and again, thinking about that time from time to time screen.
If Xiao Zhengtai took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, then he would be right and right, rubbing and rubbing Xiao Zhengtai, thinking about Bai Jingyuan's pink and tender face, Tang Qi suddenly felt a little drooling.
Then Tang Qi took the hand-woven grass beet placed next to the small hole, took out the fish food from it, and threw it into the small hole to let the red carp eat.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon, and touching his hungry stomach, Tang Qi picked up the baked buns on the side of the stove.After taking a bite, Tang Qi frowned, it was as hard as a rock, but filling his stomach is the key now, so he had no choice but to eat up the steamed buns while frowning.
After eating the steamed buns, Tang Qi counted the time, and it was almost two incense sticks before Tang Dabao and Tang Xiaocao went out. Standing at the door and seeing no one was there, Tang Qi took some thread, a fishing net and The bucket that fell yesterday sneaked towards the back hill.
The road in the back mountain did not become flat because of Tang Qi's frequent haunts, but Tang Qi became familiar with the road because he often walked in the mountains.
In fact, to be more precise, the scenery of the back mountain is good. If it was in his era, it would definitely be advertised as a good tourist attraction.But Tang Qi just thought about it, he didn't have time to stop and watch the scenery, he had already wasted some time today to get rid of Tang Dabao and Tang Xiaocao.
Going straight to the river, Tang Qi threw down his fishing net, came to the river bank, first picked off the branches that were placed yesterday, then took out his fishing tools and cast off the hook to catch.Then Tang Qi began to look around, which can be used as a place to hang fishing nets.
The place where he is sitting now is a big rock protruding from the river bank. Less than one meter to the left of this rock is another rock similar to this one. Fishing nets have to be processed afterward, otherwise the fish may fall off when they break free after entering the net.
On the right side of the boulder where he sits is the willow tree that he has been using to hang branches and bait. Thinking about it, it can also be used for hanging nets.At this moment, the fishing rod moved slightly, and Tang Qi flicked it casually without even thinking about it. In the air where the fishing line was flying, the fish flicked its tail and splashed out many drops of water.
Tang Qi didn't want to pay attention to this, he was still thinking about the idea in his head, and he picked the fish and put them into the bucket with his hands, then baited them and threw them into the river.
When you are serious, time always flies by very quickly. No, before you know it, Tang Qi has already caught more than ten fish.Looking at the number, it was almost the same today, but when he was about to tie the net, he thought of the red carp in the kitchen at home.So Tang Qi sat down again, this time thinking about fishing red carp alone.
Originally, it was not difficult to fish with Tang Qi's fishing skills, but it was not up to him which fish he wanted to catch.Afterwards Tang Qi caught seven or eight more fish, but because of the limited capacity of the bucket, and because he couldn't take that many, more importantly, these fish were not red carp, so Tang Qi finally released these fish again.
Then it was more like fighting against Tang Qi. For an hour, no fish took the bait anymore. At this time, the sky was slightly dark and the sky was dim yellow. Although it was very beautiful, it was also telling Tang Qi It's time to go home.But after persisting for so long, Tang Qi is not reconciled to asking him to give up now.
Tang Qi thought to himself, wait a little longer, hold on a little longer.It's just that after a while, another half an hour passed.
Just when Tang Qi was about to give up, suddenly his fishing rod moved. Tang Qi was overjoyed, and immediately pulled up the fishing rod. The bright red color seemed beautiful in the dense dusk. It was really a red carp!
Tang Qi was so happy that he slipped his hand and almost dropped the fishing rod into the river again. Fortunately, he caught it immediately after responding, but he was terrified in his heart.
After putting the fish into the bucket, Tang Qi couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up the fishing net on the ground, hung one end to the rock on the left, tied it with a long line and hung it on the tree, and hung the other side on the other side willows, and cast the nets into the river.
Then Tang Qi hung the branches that had been picked together, made two into one, and then hung it on the willow branch, stretched it into the river and put it on the net, and the work was completed.
Tang Qi struggled to carry the bucket before walking home.
After returning home, because he came back late, Tang Yan prepared all the meals and waited for him to go home. Seeing this, Tang Qi felt a little embarrassed and said: "Mother, I'm late."
"It's okay, it's nothing for mother to wait for a while, because mother knows that Qi'er is going to do business." Then he took Tang Qi's bucket and put it in the kitchen, and then took Tang Qi to eat.
In Xiaoji three days later, Tang Qi followed Tang Yan into the town as usual, but this time he brought three days' worth of fish, which was a bit too much.So after entering the market, he was not in a hurry to sell, but first put the fish in the water tank in the backyard of Yunxiang Restaurant, and then dragged Li Ji to negotiate.
"You said, you want to cooperate with me." Li Ji looked at Tang Qi with a strange expression on his face.
Tang Qi smiled and took Li Ji's hand: "Uncle Li, is it not good for me to be your fish supplier? You see, you usually buy the fish in the restaurant outside, and most of them are dead fish, but it takes five One penny. I’m all alive and kicking fish now, so I only sell you five pennies, and we’re so close, my mother and I are orphans and widows, and I can’t learn to lie to you. No matter how you think about it, you’re not bad, and If the restaurant sells fresh fish, there will be more customers, isn't this a win-win situation?"
Li Ji frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at the little luotou in front of him, and said, "You little boy, you have some business sense. You are right, we are a win-win cooperation, and Uncle Li will not refuse to cooperate." reason."
"Well, we will pay every five days, and I will spend more time in Uncle Li's restaurant in the future." Tang Qi took Li Ji's hand and clapped his hands in the air, then said cheerfully.
Li Ji looked at Tang Qi's movements, his eyes moved slightly, and finally smiled kindly. He reached out and touched Tang Qi's head, and said, "You ghost, if Uncle Li also had children back then, he didn't know What kind of baby is it?"
Seeing Luo Mo in Li Ji's eyes, Tang Qi said: "You have to look forward to everything. Maybe Uncle Li will meet better people in the future. By the way, Uncle Li is going to sell fish. Going out." As he said that, he ran away and went out, leaving Li Ji thinking about Tang Qi's words, and finally shook his head and went to the front hall to greet the guests.
Tang Qi set up a stall not far from Yunxiang Restaurant, and soon a group of people surrounded him.
"How do you sell this fish?"
"Nine coins."
"It's expensive, let's make it cheaper."
"Elder sister, the nine coins are okay, besides, I am a live fish." The old lady who was almost in front of me called the eldest sister, and Tang Qi, who was also at a loss, called out, but the old lady seemed to have not heard such a word for a long time. After addressing him, he was stunned for a moment, then cheerfully paid for it without saying anything else.
Seeing the old lady's sniggering, Tang Qi also made himself laugh, and patted his head. Tang Qi felt that he really didn't need to write a draft if he said that he was flustered.
Tang Qi, who was lowering his head, suddenly walked in front of a pair of feet. These feet were not big, and he was wearing a pair of white boots. The white boots were very exquisite in workmanship. From the front of the boots to the boots, flowers were embroidered with silver thread. pattern.
Tang Qi's eyes were so happy that he raised his head and said happily, "You came to find me."
I don't know if it's because the sun is too strong, Bai Jingyuan has a small face reddish, two small hands clenched tightly into fists hanging by his side, then the black jade-like eyes flickered for a moment, and then he gave a faint "hmm" .
Gifts
The two looked at each other, Tang Qi waved and smiled at Bai Jingyuan, "I have something to do now, just wait for me." After finishing speaking, thinking about it wrong, before Bai Jingyuan could refuse, Tang Qi said again, "No, I Seeing that you'd better sit down at Yunxiang Restaurant, I still have a while, you will get tired standing up."
Bai Jingyuan stood aside, moved his feet a few steps, but did not move.Tang Qi turned his head and looked at Bai Jingyuan who was standing aside, and stopped persuading him. He greeted the guests and asked, "Did your servant not follow you today? It seems that he is very nervous about you."
"I said I left something at home and told him to go back and get it, but I kept it a secret, and he won't come back too soon."
"Oh, so you have time to talk to me."
"you can say it this way."
Tang Qi stood up, looked at Bai Jingyuan with a mysterious smile, and said, "It's too right for you to do this, because you came at a very good time today, and I have a gift for you. I'm sure you will be happy to see it."
Bai Jingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What gift is it?"
Tang Qi smiled and turned his back to Bai Jingyuan, and said, "An unexpected gift."
Seeing that Tang Qi refused to speak, Bai Jingyuan didn't ask anymore, but just stood behind Tang Qi, watching Tang Qi squatting aside busy selling fish.
About half an hour later, Tang Qi sold out all the fish, happily patted Weigu's purse, and began to collect his things and prepare to leave.
He stood up together, and Bai Jingyuan, who was behind him, hurried forward, his eyes blinked slightly, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Tang Qi looked at Bai Jingyuan's nervous face, smiled lightly, took Bai Jingyuan's hand, and walked towards the backyard of Yunxiang Restaurant.
The so-called backyard is actually the place where things are piled up in the kitchen. The guys don't pay attention to order when they arrange them for their own convenience, so it looks a bit messy.Bai Jingyuan came in and took a look, frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Walking to a water tank, Tang Qi turned around to look at Bai Jingyuan, and said, "If someone gives you a gift, what would you like?"
Bai Jingyuan thought for a while, and finally just shook his head.
"That's it, then I'll give it away casually. If it's not good, don't be unhappy." Tang Qi kept observing Bai Jingyuan's expression with his eyes. When he said this, he obviously saw a disappointed look in Bai Jingyuan's eyes.
Tang Qi squatted down with a smile at this moment, picked up a basin beside the water tank, and held it in front of Bai Jingyuan.
Bai Jingyuan looked at the water basin, then froze, a different kind of light flashed in his calm eyes.
"Do you like it?" Tang Qi approached and asked with a smile.
Bai Jingyuan raised his head, his lips were still pursed tightly, and the expression on his face was tense, then he nodded slowly.
"I knew you would like it." Tang Qi became happy in his heart. According to the plots in novels and TV, at this time, Bai Jingyuan should kiss him unconsciously out of excitement and excitement, and then... Hehehe, Tang Qi There was an obscene expression on his face unconsciously.
After waiting for a long time, Bai Jingyuan still didn't move, Tang Qi raised his head.I saw that Bai Jingyuan had put the water basin on the ground, and looked at him seriously, how could he have any excited expression.
Tang Qi suddenly shook his head like a beaten eggplant.Unexpectedly, at this time, Bai Jingyuan suddenly tore off the purse from his waist, took out a white jade ring jade pendant from the purse, and put it in Tang Qi's hand.
"The so-called gentleman does not take away the favor of others, and accepts gifts from others as a gift in return. This is the jade pendant I have carried with me since I was a child, and I give it to you." As he said, Bai Jingyuan's eyes were wrinkled and bright, and he looked at Tang Qi expectantly. .
Tang Qi tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is not possible."
"Why not?" Bai Jingyuan's expression darkened, extremely dissatisfied. "If you don't accept my gift, how can I accept the gift you gave me?"
Seeing Bai Jingyuan's eagerness to argue, he burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Bai Jingyuan got angry, he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't be angry, I'm teasing you." Pulling Bai Jingyuan, Tang Qi begged for mercy in a soft voice.
"Hmph, how can this kind of thing be treated as a joke, I don't want to see you again." Bai Jingyuan insisted on withdrawing his hand and leaving.
"I wanted to say that we are all friends, and we don't have to follow the etiquette at all, but return the etiquette." Tang Qi said immediately when he saw that Bai Jingyuan was really angry.
Bai Jingyuan turned around, looked at Tang Qi, was silent for a while before saying again: "Is this really what you think in your heart?"
"Of course, if I don't want to be friends with you, why bother to get this pair of red carps. The last time I heard you say that the time for fun is reading and reading. I think it is really boring, so I miss your leisure time." Wouldn't it be better to use them to relieve boredom from time to time."
Bai Jingyuan nodded: "What you said is reasonable, but I will not take back the jade pendant even if I give it away. This is also the etiquette that cannot be shirked among friends. If you treat me as a friend, you can't say what you just said, and you can't make jokes. "
Looking at Bai Jingyuan's serious face, Tang Qi's hands were really itchy, and he had the urge to ravage Bai Jingyuan's small face, but the timing was wrong, so Tang Qi had no choice but to hold back his thoughts, and then nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Bai Jingyuan squatted down, looked at the pair of red carps swimming leisurely in the water basin, with a smile on his face: "This pair of red carp is not common, how did you get it?"
To be honest, red carp was so common in his time that it could no longer be an ordinary ornamental fish. However, due to the limited water source here, although it cannot be said to be an extinct species, there are not many people who really own it.
Tang Qi squatted down and said proudly: "Remember what I told you last time, I have a secret base, and I fished there."
Bai Jingyuan said in admiration, "You are capable."
Tang Qi arrogantly withdrew his praise and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to use this craft to improve my family's life first."
"Well, this is indeed a craft, but it's not a long-term solution. It's good to be with fish every day, but there will always be an annoying day." Speaking of this, Bai Jingyuan seemed to think of something, and his face tensed .
"Of course I don't regard this as my future goal. My plan is to save enough money to write novels in the future."
"Fiction, are you?"
"Don't you believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that people will have a day when their talents are exhausted. If that happens, what will happen to you?"
Seeing Bai Jingyuan's expression of emotion, Tang Qi pulled him to sit down on a stone pier at one side, and then said: "Are you talking about you? I've heard about you. You were already famous at a young age, but I suddenly fell ill a year ago, and never went out again, until now it is gradually forgotten by people."
"It's admirable for a young man to become famous, but who knows the twists and turns behind it. I was smart when I was young, and it seems that I have learned skills that many people can't learn in a few years. My parents are very happy, but they are slow. Slowly I found that I was no different from ordinary people, and I no longer had the ability that others could praise, so they started to force me to read esoteric and difficult books every day, and often said in my ears that I was getting worse and worse, wasting their efforts Hard work, I even said that I am no different from a mediocre person." Bai Jingyuan's expressionless description made Tang Qi's brows furrow deeper.
"But are you really what they say, I don't think so."
Bai Jingyuan pursed his lips, and said again: "Later, I was really upset, so I just lay on the bed every day and couldn't get up to avoid studying. But my parents thought I was sick, so they called many famous doctors, but it wasn't a real illness. I was able to find out the source of the disease. Many doctors returned without success. Later, my parents felt sorry for me and stopped forcing me. This made me feel at ease. However, my parents were afraid that I would contract a serious disease again, so they only occasionally urged me to recite the book. Say no more."
Tang Qi took Bai Jingyuan's hand and comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself. In fact, even if you don't do this, the result may still be the same. Your intelligence from childhood may be a manifestation of early wisdom. Even if you didn't If you pretend to be sick, the result will not change, maybe you will become sick because of accumulated depression, and there is nothing wrong with you doing so. Your parents will understand your difficulties. "
"hope so."
It turned out that Tang Qi always thought that Bai Jingyuan looked taciturn, an awkward and arrogant lady, but at this time he couldn't look at Bai Jingyuan with the same mood.
Because this is not what Bai Jingyuan wants, if possible, he may want to change his background, even if he is a child like Tang Qier who gets into trouble every day and is called a troublemaker.
"Bai Jingyuan."
"Ok?"
"From now on, I will be at Yunxiang Restaurant before noon every time there are small or large gatherings. I welcome you to come to me, and you can tell me if you are unhappy. As a friend, I will definitely make you happy." Tang Qi patted his chest and made a promise.
"Secret base." Bai Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said softly.
"what?"
"Secret base, if possible, I want to go there to see, you said, it's very beautiful." Bai Jingyuan's skin is almost transparent because of staying at home all year round.It also seems that because his face is too white|skinned, he always likes to blush, like this time.
Tang Qi lost his eyes, and there was no reason not to agree, so he quickly promised: "Okay, I will definitely take you there."
When Tang Qi and Bai Jingyuan finally got out of Yunxiang Restaurant after chatting, Bai Jingyuan's servant Bai Da was already frantic.He has almost searched all over the third street. When he sees Bai Jingyuan, he rushes towards him frantically. Tang Qi pulls Bai Jingyuan over. Bai Dayi loses his footing and falls heavily on the ground.
"Bastard boy, you are courting death."
"Bai Da, Hugh is so rude, this is my friend——Tang Qi."
That white stared, but shouted: "Young master, you don't want to be with such a poor boy, he must be planning something."
Bai Jingyuan raised the water basin in his arms and said, "I can trust a friend who can bother to give this kind of gift."
That Bai Da was stunned, but he still argued strongly: "Even if it's like this, young master, you have to be careful, some people just play hard to get."
"Haven't you been looking for me for a long time, go home." Before leaving, he looked back at Tang Qi and nodded.
"Young master, what Bai Da said is definitely for the sake of the young master..." Bai Da embraced the water basin, but followed closely.
Tang Qi looked at Bai Jingyuan, but he was thinking in his heart, although Xiao Zhengtai is cute, but it is even more distressing. I hope he will be cheerful in the future.
Stranger-Bai Jingming
After seeing off Bai Jingyuan, Tang Qi turned around and went back to Yunxiang Restaurant, and then entered the backyard.Just now he was thinking of giving Bai Jingyuan a gift, but he hasn't counted how much it sold today.
After entering the backyard, he put the money bag on the stone pier, and then spread it out to count the money. After counting, Tang Qi smiled.Although it was still not much, it was more than last time, a full 240 Wen.After Tang Qi put the money back into the purse, he went to the back kitchen and handed the purse to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan touched the purse and just smiled. After a long time, she looked at Tang Qi and said happily, "Qi'er is really capable. She has earned so much money, which is enough for us to live for two months."
Seeing Tang Yan so happy, Tang Qi was happy, but at this moment he looked hesitant.When Tang Yan saw it, she asked, "Qi'er has something to say, just say it, what else is there to be embarrassed about?"
Tang Qi raised his head and said apologetically, "Mother, I want to buy some pens, inks, papers and inkstones."
Tang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Qi'er wants to study, it's a good thing. I see it this way, in the future, Qi'er won't have to give her money from selling fish. Mother knows that Qi'er is a sensible child, and she doesn't know how to do it." Spending some useless money, mother also knows that Qi'er has her own ideas. As long as you think it's right, you can do it with confidence." Tang Yan handed the money bag back to Tang Qi.
"Mother, I don't need this money." After taking back the money bag, Tang Qi wanted to take out some more, but was stopped by Tang Yan.
"Mother has already paid wages today, and the family has enough rice and food in the past few days. We don't have to worry about living expenses this month. What does Mother want the money for? It's Qi'er's business that matters."
Holding the money bag, Tang Qi looked at Tang Yan and didn't insist anymore. It is true that he urgently needs money now.
"Okay, mother, I'm going shopping, I'll be back in a while." After speaking, Tang Qi ran out.
Yan Guo respects literature very much, so literati enjoy extremely high courtesy in Yan Guo, and because of this, the prices of pens, ink, paper and inkstones in Yan Guo are also raised very high.In fact, with the 240 Wen in his hand, he doesn't know if he can buy all the items he needs.
On the third street in Qi Town, basically all the necessities for life are sold, and the items used by elegant scholars such as pens, inks, paper and inkstones are not sold, so Tang Qi went directly to the second street after inquiring. .
There are not many shops on this street, but each shop is not small, and the types of selling are basically jewelry and jade, famous calligraphy and paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and some books.
Tang Qi first walked around the street. There were five shops selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones on this street, namely Wenfengxuan, Fengyage, Dianmoxuan, Liufengzhai and Liumengzhai.So Tang Qi decided to ask Wen Fengxuan first.
As soon as he entered the door, a young man in a gray short shirt came over. Seeing that Tang Qi was a child and his clothes were a little tattered, his expression changed: "Customer, what do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones." Although Tang Qi saw the boy's expression, he still said.
"Oh, a set of [-] wen, I'll take the guests to see how it looks first." The boy then replied lazily.
Tang Qi's face changed when he heard that the money was far away, so he said again: "There are cheaper ones."
"No, no, since I don't have any money, I want to learn how to dance and write, and walk around." Then he waved Tang Qi away.
Tang Qi bit his lip, held back, and then begged: "Brother, I only have 240 Wen now, how about this, you sell me first, and I will save enough money to pay you back in a few days, okay."
"Huh! You treat me as an apprentice on the first day here. I have met many poor and educated people like you. I have never seen money paid back after credit. Walk around, don't delay my business. "This time, the young man has already pulled Tang Qi and dragged him out of Wenfengxuan.
Tang Qi had never been bombarded before, he gritted his teeth, stood in place for a long time before calming down, and then walked to the second Fengyage.
But the situation of Fengya Pavilion, Dianmoxuan and Liufengzhai is similar to that of Wenfengxuan.He was all blasted out.
Looking at the broad street scene of the second street, Tang Qi suddenly felt powerless.It's just that he didn't give up, and Liu Mengzhai of the last family, if it really didn't work, he had to wait a few days before coming back.
Just walking in front of Liu Mengzhai, Tang Qi was a little bit hesitant. Today's experience was more than what he had experienced in his whole life, and he was humiliated not once or twice, so what if he was thrown out again this time.
Covering his face with his hands, Tang Qi did a few mental constructions before he mustered up the courage to enter Liufengzhai.
Liu Fengzhai was also greeted by an apprentice, and Tang Qi immediately took a step back. At this moment, he heard the apprentice ask: "Customer, what do you want to buy?"
"I...I want to buy a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones." When speaking, Tang Qi hesitated.
"Oh, one set is [-] Wen. I'll show the guests." After speaking, the apprentice turned around to take Tang Qi to the studio, but after walking a few steps, he found Tang Qi standing still, so he asked suspiciously . "Why don't the guests leave and take a look?"
"There are cheaper ones here. I don't have enough money."
The apprentice was silent for a while, and then said: "All the items sold by our Liu Mengzhai are top-grade, there are only better ones, but no worse ones."
Tang Qi sighed, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." After Tang Qi came in, he had been standing in front of the counter looking at the account book. The man in the gray gown came over and said.
"Sir, this man..." The apprentice was about to deal with it, but the man raised his hand, blocking his words.Then the man walked towards Tang Qi, looked down at Tang Qi who was hanging his head and refused to raise it, and said. "Do you feel ashamed?"
Tang Qi was taken aback, raised his head, and heard the man continue to say: "Do you feel ashamed to be looked down upon by others for the sake of improving your knowledge?" His voice was still a little low at this time.
"This..." Tang Qi didn't know what to say for a while, and told the man that because of his thin skin, he still told him that he really felt ashamed to be kicked out several times.
"Answer me!" But the man looked at Tang Qi and said seriously.
Tang Qi was suddenly moved by the man's neck, and replied loudly: "Enhancing knowledge is a very noble thing, how could I feel ashamed."
"Yes, Niuwa, no matter how much money this child has, sell him a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
Apprentice Niuwa was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But sir..."
"Sell him!"
"Yes..." Niu Wa didn't dare to refute anymore, and turned around and went into the hall to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Tang Qi was taken aback, but felt that this man was really strange. He walked towards the man, and said, "I will make up enough money in a few days, and I will make up for the difference. Thank you this time."
But the man shook his head: "It's okay, when I saw you, I thought you looked funny, so I sold you. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so easy-going."
Tang Qi clasped his fists with a smile, and said gratefully: "My next Tang Qi, dare to ask Mr. Ma's name."
It's just that the man frowned after hearing Tang Qi's self-report, but after being silent, he still replied: "I'm Bai Jingming." After speaking, he muttered to himself again. "Why do children look like this now?"
Tang Qi was puzzled when he heard this, but when he thought of Bai Jingyuan's name, he hurriedly asked, "I'm being abrupt, Boss Bai knows Bai Jingyuan."
Bai Jingming was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You are talking about my third brother, do you know each other?" He looked at Tang Qi in disbelief.
"Bai Jingyuan and I are friends, even though we only met twice." After speaking, Tang Qi smiled first.
Bai Jingming looked at Tang Qi in surprise: "A few days ago when my third brother came home, his servant told me that my third brother was almost cheated by a poor boy, and he was talking about you?" Listen, but Tang Qi knew that Bai Jingming didn't mean to look down on him.
Tang Qi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it is."
Then Bai Jingming stood next to Tang Qi and kept looking at him. After a long while, he said: "My third younger brother stays in the mansion every day, usually when he goes out, he doesn't talk very much. It's really amazing to meet a friend."
Tang Qi shook his head: "Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to have friends, it's just that he doesn't know how to meet them. Anyway, he's still a child."
Bai Jingming suddenly patted Tang Qi on the forehead, which made Tang Qi stunned for a moment, and then he heard Bai Jingming say: "You are so old-fashioned. You are just like my third brother. Fortunately, you are friends, otherwise you can't harm others. Ignorant children are just like you."
Seeing Bai Jingming shaking his head helplessly, Tang Qi burst out laughing: "Boss Bai is such a funny person, what you said has a very good relationship with Bai Jingyuan, why did Bai Jingyuan develop such a temper?"
Bai Jingming looked at Tang Qi, thought for a while, seemed a little hesitant, but finally said: "I have been wild since I was a child, and my parents couldn't force me to do it, so they shifted their target to my third brother. So every time I see My third brother, seeing his sullen temper, I always feel sorry for him."
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said mischievously: "Although I feel sorry for him, Boss Bai is also relieved."
"You kid, you're quite clever..."
"Sir, the things are packed." At this moment, Niu Wa just brought the things, Tang Qi immediately poured out the money and handed it to Niu Wa, who took the money and went to count it.
Bai Jingyuan looked at Tang Qi and asked again: "You bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for your own use?"
"To tell you the truth, my mother and I are the only ones in my family. We are very poor, but I don't want to continue to be poor, so I want to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It will definitely help me think about things in the future, so I have saved some money. I didn't know if it was enough, so I came here to buy it."
Bai Jingming smiled and patted Tang Qi on the shoulder: "People are poor and wise. It is his blessing that my third brother has you as a friend."
"Boss Bai has won the prize. I told my mother that I will return in a while, but I have been out for a long time now, so I will return now."
"Go, come to me when you buy anything in the future."
Sending Tang Qi to the door, Bai Jingyuan said with a smile, Tang Qi stood still, and then bowed deeply to Bai Jingming before running away.
Bai Jingming watched Tang Qi run away, smiled and turned back to Liu Mengzhai.
Angry Tangzi
There is a saying that goes, if you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive food is, and if you don’t make money, you don’t know how to cherish it.
In fact, Tang Qi's specialty is not only fishing, but also influenced by his grandma. He likes to wave a pen when he has nothing to do.
But in the past, he could buy these things as long as he had something to do, but here, not only was he exhausted for this set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he was also kicked out of the house and humiliated several times. Now holding this set of things in his hand, Tang Qi Never thought they were so precious.
After returning to the restaurant, Tang Qi has been sitting in the backyard, and then waited for Tang Yan to finish work before the two went home together.On the way home, Tang Yan saw that Tang Qi had been carefully holding the set of things, and she just smiled knowingly.
Originally, all this should start to develop in a good direction, but after Tang Qi and Tang Yan returned home, they encountered an unexpected guest.
Originally, she entered the yard and was busy moving things down, but when she walked to the door, she found that the door of the house was ajar, which made Tang Yan, who clearly remembered closing the door in the morning, break out in a sweat.Although the family is poor and has nothing of value, let her rush into the house immediately.Seeing this, Tang Qi followed closely behind.
When I entered the door, it turned out that there was a woman sitting on their dilapidated wooden bench. This woman was dressed in beautiful clothes, the clothes on her body were of good material, and she was quite gorgeous.Seeing Tang Yan and Tang Qi coming in, the woman turned her head, squinted her eyes and gave Tang Yan a sideways look, and said, "You've come." After she turned her head, she looked around the house.
"I've been here for a while, to be honest, this is a house you live in, tsk tsk tsk, it's so broken that even a dog is too lazy to live there. It's really because of your living habits." The woman sized her up maliciously. What he said was even more disgusting, Tang Qi frowned.
"Mrs. Mrs. Lin, the village chief, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Tang Yan's face also changed, but she still asked in a good-tempered manner, and finally let Tang Qi know who it was.
Lin Hua'er---the wife of Tang Futai, the head of Tangjia Village, and the mother of Tang Dabao.It was also the person who came to tell Tang Yan the bad news when Tang Yan was giving birth, almost caused Tang Yan to have a difficult delivery, and liked Tang Qi's father Tang Zhi.
Coming here at this time, Tang Qi didn't think that Lin Hua'er had any kindness.
Lin Hua'er finished looking at the house, then turned to look at Tang Yan, and snorted: "You poor place, I don't even want to come if you invite me."
Tang Qi snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "I don't want to come? Then who is the mean person sitting there now?"
At this moment, Lin Hua'er stood up. It turned out that there was a silk handkerchief on the stool she was sitting on. When she got up, she shook the silk handkerchief in disgust, just like how dirty the stool in Tang Qi's house was. .
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes, only to hear Lin Huaer continue talking.
"I heard...someone saw Tang Qi'er appearing at the market." Tang Qi frowned and changed his mind, feeling bad.
"This..." Tang Yan was taken aback, but didn't know what to say.
"I also heard that someone saw that Tang Qi got some live fish out of nowhere and sold them for a lot of money."
When Tang Yan heard it, Lin Hua'er seemed to know it all, so she could only say: "Actually, those are Qi'er..."
"Hmph, why are you asking so much. Besides, those fish don't belong to me. Uncle Li at the restaurant where my mother works asked me to help sell them. He gave me fifty Wen a month." Tang Qi heard Tang Yan wanted to tell him about him, so she immediately cut off the words and said with a wrinkled face.
Tang Yan was taken aback, but later realized that Lin Hua'er couldn't let Lin Hua'er know about it, so she also shut up and stopped talking.
Lin Hua'er pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what kind of anger she was getting,
Then, Tang Qi squatted down, and it turned out that a hole was dug out in the ground next to the tank, almost the size and depth of an adult's hands spread out, and there was not only a lot of water in the hole, but also swimming in the water. A red carp.
Seeing the red carp swimming leisurely in the small cave, Tang Qi said with a smile: "When I match you up, I will give you to your master." Speaking of this, Tang Qi laughed again, "You said when When I send you to Bai Jingyuan, will he throw himself into his arms because he is too excited? Well...it is very possible." Tang Qi rubbed his chin, nodded again and again, thinking about that time from time to time screen.
If Xiao Zhengtai took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, then he would be right and right, rubbing and rubbing Xiao Zhengtai, thinking about Bai Jingyuan's pink and tender face, Tang Qi suddenly felt a little drooling.
Then Tang Qi took the hand-woven grass beet placed next to the small hole, took out the fish food from it, and threw it into the small hole to let the red carp eat.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon, and touching his hungry stomach, Tang Qi picked up the baked buns on the side of the stove.After taking a bite, Tang Qi frowned, it was as hard as a rock, but filling his stomach is the key now, so he had no choice but to eat up the steamed buns while frowning.
After eating the steamed buns, Tang Qi counted the time, and it was almost two incense sticks before Tang Dabao and Tang Xiaocao went out. Standing at the door and seeing no one was there, Tang Qi took some thread, a fishing net and The bucket that fell yesterday sneaked towards the back hill.
The road in the back mountain did not become flat because of Tang Qi's frequent haunts, but Tang Qi became familiar with the road because he often walked in the mountains.
In fact, to be more precise, the scenery of the back mountain is good. If it was in his era, it would definitely be advertised as a good tourist attraction.But Tang Qi just thought about it, he didn't have time to stop and watch the scenery, he had already wasted some time today to get rid of Tang Dabao and Tang Xiaocao.
Going straight to the river, Tang Qi threw down his fishing net, came to the river bank, first picked off the branches that were placed yesterday, then took out his fishing tools and cast off the hook to catch.Then Tang Qi began to look around, which can be used as a place to hang fishing nets.
The place where he is sitting now is a big rock protruding from the river bank. Less than one meter to the left of this rock is another rock similar to this one. Fishing nets have to be processed afterward, otherwise the fish may fall off when they break free after entering the net.
On the right side of the boulder where he sits is the willow tree that he has been using to hang branches and bait. Thinking about it, it can also be used for hanging nets.At this moment, the fishing rod moved slightly, and Tang Qi flicked it casually without even thinking about it. In the air where the fishing line was flying, the fish flicked its tail and splashed out many drops of water.
Tang Qi didn't want to pay attention to this, he was still thinking about the idea in his head, and he picked the fish and put them into the bucket with his hands, then baited them and threw them into the river.
When you are serious, time always flies by very quickly. No, before you know it, Tang Qi has already caught more than ten fish.Looking at the number, it was almost the same today, but when he was about to tie the net, he thought of the red carp in the kitchen at home.So Tang Qi sat down again, this time thinking about fishing red carp alone.
Originally, it was not difficult to fish with Tang Qi's fishing skills, but it was not up to him which fish he wanted to catch.Afterwards Tang Qi caught seven or eight more fish, but because of the limited capacity of the bucket, and because he couldn't take that many, more importantly, these fish were not red carp, so Tang Qi finally released these fish again.
Then it was more like fighting against Tang Qi. For an hour, no fish took the bait anymore. At this time, the sky was slightly dark and the sky was dim yellow. Although it was very beautiful, it was also telling Tang Qi It's time to go home.But after persisting for so long, Tang Qi is not reconciled to asking him to give up now.
Tang Qi thought to himself, wait a little longer, hold on a little longer.It's just that after a while, another half an hour passed.
Just when Tang Qi was about to give up, suddenly his fishing rod moved. Tang Qi was overjoyed, and immediately pulled up the fishing rod. The bright red color seemed beautiful in the dense dusk. It was really a red carp!
Tang Qi was so happy that he slipped his hand and almost dropped the fishing rod into the river again. Fortunately, he caught it immediately after responding, but he was terrified in his heart.
After putting the fish into the bucket, Tang Qi couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up the fishing net on the ground, hung one end to the rock on the left, tied it with a long line and hung it on the tree, and hung the other side on the other side willows, and cast the nets into the river.
Then Tang Qi hung the branches that had been picked together, made two into one, and then hung it on the willow branch, stretched it into the river and put it on the net, and the work was completed.
Tang Qi struggled to carry the bucket before walking home.
After returning home, because he came back late, Tang Yan prepared all the meals and waited for him to go home. Seeing this, Tang Qi felt a little embarrassed and said: "Mother, I'm late."
"It's okay, it's nothing for mother to wait for a while, because mother knows that Qi'er is going to do business." Then he took Tang Qi's bucket and put it in the kitchen, and then took Tang Qi to eat.
In Xiaoji three days later, Tang Qi followed Tang Yan into the town as usual, but this time he brought three days' worth of fish, which was a bit too much.So after entering the market, he was not in a hurry to sell, but first put the fish in the water tank in the backyard of Yunxiang Restaurant, and then dragged Li Ji to negotiate.
"You said, you want to cooperate with me." Li Ji looked at Tang Qi with a strange expression on his face.
Tang Qi smiled and took Li Ji's hand: "Uncle Li, is it not good for me to be your fish supplier? You see, you usually buy the fish in the restaurant outside, and most of them are dead fish, but it takes five One penny. I’m all alive and kicking fish now, so I only sell you five pennies, and we’re so close, my mother and I are orphans and widows, and I can’t learn to lie to you. No matter how you think about it, you’re not bad, and If the restaurant sells fresh fish, there will be more customers, isn't this a win-win situation?"
Li Ji frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at the little luotou in front of him, and said, "You little boy, you have some business sense. You are right, we are a win-win cooperation, and Uncle Li will not refuse to cooperate." reason."
"Well, we will pay every five days, and I will spend more time in Uncle Li's restaurant in the future." Tang Qi took Li Ji's hand and clapped his hands in the air, then said cheerfully.
Li Ji looked at Tang Qi's movements, his eyes moved slightly, and finally smiled kindly. He reached out and touched Tang Qi's head, and said, "You ghost, if Uncle Li also had children back then, he didn't know What kind of baby is it?"
Seeing Luo Mo in Li Ji's eyes, Tang Qi said: "You have to look forward to everything. Maybe Uncle Li will meet better people in the future. By the way, Uncle Li is going to sell fish. Going out." As he said that, he ran away and went out, leaving Li Ji thinking about Tang Qi's words, and finally shook his head and went to the front hall to greet the guests.
Tang Qi set up a stall not far from Yunxiang Restaurant, and soon a group of people surrounded him.
"How do you sell this fish?"
"Nine coins."
"It's expensive, let's make it cheaper."
"Elder sister, the nine coins are okay, besides, I am a live fish." The old lady who was almost in front of me called the eldest sister, and Tang Qi, who was also at a loss, called out, but the old lady seemed to have not heard such a word for a long time. After addressing him, he was stunned for a moment, then cheerfully paid for it without saying anything else.
Seeing the old lady's sniggering, Tang Qi also made himself laugh, and patted his head. Tang Qi felt that he really didn't need to write a draft if he said that he was flustered.
Tang Qi, who was lowering his head, suddenly walked in front of a pair of feet. These feet were not big, and he was wearing a pair of white boots. The white boots were very exquisite in workmanship. From the front of the boots to the boots, flowers were embroidered with silver thread. pattern.
Tang Qi's eyes were so happy that he raised his head and said happily, "You came to find me."
I don't know if it's because the sun is too strong, Bai Jingyuan has a small face reddish, two small hands clenched tightly into fists hanging by his side, then the black jade-like eyes flickered for a moment, and then he gave a faint "hmm" .
Gifts
The two looked at each other, Tang Qi waved and smiled at Bai Jingyuan, "I have something to do now, just wait for me." After finishing speaking, thinking about it wrong, before Bai Jingyuan could refuse, Tang Qi said again, "No, I Seeing that you'd better sit down at Yunxiang Restaurant, I still have a while, you will get tired standing up."
Bai Jingyuan stood aside, moved his feet a few steps, but did not move.Tang Qi turned his head and looked at Bai Jingyuan who was standing aside, and stopped persuading him. He greeted the guests and asked, "Did your servant not follow you today? It seems that he is very nervous about you."
"I said I left something at home and told him to go back and get it, but I kept it a secret, and he won't come back too soon."
"Oh, so you have time to talk to me."
"you can say it this way."
Tang Qi stood up, looked at Bai Jingyuan with a mysterious smile, and said, "It's too right for you to do this, because you came at a very good time today, and I have a gift for you. I'm sure you will be happy to see it."
Bai Jingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What gift is it?"
Tang Qi smiled and turned his back to Bai Jingyuan, and said, "An unexpected gift."
Seeing that Tang Qi refused to speak, Bai Jingyuan didn't ask anymore, but just stood behind Tang Qi, watching Tang Qi squatting aside busy selling fish.
About half an hour later, Tang Qi sold out all the fish, happily patted Weigu's purse, and began to collect his things and prepare to leave.
He stood up together, and Bai Jingyuan, who was behind him, hurried forward, his eyes blinked slightly, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Tang Qi looked at Bai Jingyuan's nervous face, smiled lightly, took Bai Jingyuan's hand, and walked towards the backyard of Yunxiang Restaurant.
The so-called backyard is actually the place where things are piled up in the kitchen. The guys don't pay attention to order when they arrange them for their own convenience, so it looks a bit messy.Bai Jingyuan came in and took a look, frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Walking to a water tank, Tang Qi turned around to look at Bai Jingyuan, and said, "If someone gives you a gift, what would you like?"
Bai Jingyuan thought for a while, and finally just shook his head.
"That's it, then I'll give it away casually. If it's not good, don't be unhappy." Tang Qi kept observing Bai Jingyuan's expression with his eyes. When he said this, he obviously saw a disappointed look in Bai Jingyuan's eyes.
Tang Qi squatted down with a smile at this moment, picked up a basin beside the water tank, and held it in front of Bai Jingyuan.
Bai Jingyuan looked at the water basin, then froze, a different kind of light flashed in his calm eyes.
"Do you like it?" Tang Qi approached and asked with a smile.
Bai Jingyuan raised his head, his lips were still pursed tightly, and the expression on his face was tense, then he nodded slowly.
"I knew you would like it." Tang Qi became happy in his heart. According to the plots in novels and TV, at this time, Bai Jingyuan should kiss him unconsciously out of excitement and excitement, and then... Hehehe, Tang Qi There was an obscene expression on his face unconsciously.
After waiting for a long time, Bai Jingyuan still didn't move, Tang Qi raised his head.I saw that Bai Jingyuan had put the water basin on the ground, and looked at him seriously, how could he have any excited expression.
Tang Qi suddenly shook his head like a beaten eggplant.Unexpectedly, at this time, Bai Jingyuan suddenly tore off the purse from his waist, took out a white jade ring jade pendant from the purse, and put it in Tang Qi's hand.
"The so-called gentleman does not take away the favor of others, and accepts gifts from others as a gift in return. This is the jade pendant I have carried with me since I was a child, and I give it to you." As he said, Bai Jingyuan's eyes were wrinkled and bright, and he looked at Tang Qi expectantly. .
Tang Qi tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is not possible."
"Why not?" Bai Jingyuan's expression darkened, extremely dissatisfied. "If you don't accept my gift, how can I accept the gift you gave me?"
Seeing Bai Jingyuan's eagerness to argue, he burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Bai Jingyuan got angry, he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't be angry, I'm teasing you." Pulling Bai Jingyuan, Tang Qi begged for mercy in a soft voice.
"Hmph, how can this kind of thing be treated as a joke, I don't want to see you again." Bai Jingyuan insisted on withdrawing his hand and leaving.
"I wanted to say that we are all friends, and we don't have to follow the etiquette at all, but return the etiquette." Tang Qi said immediately when he saw that Bai Jingyuan was really angry.
Bai Jingyuan turned around, looked at Tang Qi, was silent for a while before saying again: "Is this really what you think in your heart?"
"Of course, if I don't want to be friends with you, why bother to get this pair of red carps. The last time I heard you say that the time for fun is reading and reading. I think it is really boring, so I miss your leisure time." Wouldn't it be better to use them to relieve boredom from time to time."
Bai Jingyuan nodded: "What you said is reasonable, but I will not take back the jade pendant even if I give it away. This is also the etiquette that cannot be shirked among friends. If you treat me as a friend, you can't say what you just said, and you can't make jokes. "
Looking at Bai Jingyuan's serious face, Tang Qi's hands were really itchy, and he had the urge to ravage Bai Jingyuan's small face, but the timing was wrong, so Tang Qi had no choice but to hold back his thoughts, and then nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Bai Jingyuan squatted down, looked at the pair of red carps swimming leisurely in the water basin, with a smile on his face: "This pair of red carp is not common, how did you get it?"
To be honest, red carp was so common in his time that it could no longer be an ordinary ornamental fish. However, due to the limited water source here, although it cannot be said to be an extinct species, there are not many people who really own it.
Tang Qi squatted down and said proudly: "Remember what I told you last time, I have a secret base, and I fished there."
Bai Jingyuan said in admiration, "You are capable."
Tang Qi arrogantly withdrew his praise and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to use this craft to improve my family's life first."
"Well, this is indeed a craft, but it's not a long-term solution. It's good to be with fish every day, but there will always be an annoying day." Speaking of this, Bai Jingyuan seemed to think of something, and his face tensed .
"Of course I don't regard this as my future goal. My plan is to save enough money to write novels in the future."
"Fiction, are you?"
"Don't you believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that people will have a day when their talents are exhausted. If that happens, what will happen to you?"
Seeing Bai Jingyuan's expression of emotion, Tang Qi pulled him to sit down on a stone pier at one side, and then said: "Are you talking about you? I've heard about you. You were already famous at a young age, but I suddenly fell ill a year ago, and never went out again, until now it is gradually forgotten by people."
"It's admirable for a young man to become famous, but who knows the twists and turns behind it. I was smart when I was young, and it seems that I have learned skills that many people can't learn in a few years. My parents are very happy, but they are slow. Slowly I found that I was no different from ordinary people, and I no longer had the ability that others could praise, so they started to force me to read esoteric and difficult books every day, and often said in my ears that I was getting worse and worse, wasting their efforts Hard work, I even said that I am no different from a mediocre person." Bai Jingyuan's expressionless description made Tang Qi's brows furrow deeper.
"But are you really what they say, I don't think so."
Bai Jingyuan pursed his lips, and said again: "Later, I was really upset, so I just lay on the bed every day and couldn't get up to avoid studying. But my parents thought I was sick, so they called many famous doctors, but it wasn't a real illness. I was able to find out the source of the disease. Many doctors returned without success. Later, my parents felt sorry for me and stopped forcing me. This made me feel at ease. However, my parents were afraid that I would contract a serious disease again, so they only occasionally urged me to recite the book. Say no more."
Tang Qi took Bai Jingyuan's hand and comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself. In fact, even if you don't do this, the result may still be the same. Your intelligence from childhood may be a manifestation of early wisdom. Even if you didn't If you pretend to be sick, the result will not change, maybe you will become sick because of accumulated depression, and there is nothing wrong with you doing so. Your parents will understand your difficulties. "
"hope so."
It turned out that Tang Qi always thought that Bai Jingyuan looked taciturn, an awkward and arrogant lady, but at this time he couldn't look at Bai Jingyuan with the same mood.
Because this is not what Bai Jingyuan wants, if possible, he may want to change his background, even if he is a child like Tang Qier who gets into trouble every day and is called a troublemaker.
"Bai Jingyuan."
"Ok?"
"From now on, I will be at Yunxiang Restaurant before noon every time there are small or large gatherings. I welcome you to come to me, and you can tell me if you are unhappy. As a friend, I will definitely make you happy." Tang Qi patted his chest and made a promise.
"Secret base." Bai Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said softly.
"what?"
"Secret base, if possible, I want to go there to see, you said, it's very beautiful." Bai Jingyuan's skin is almost transparent because of staying at home all year round.It also seems that because his face is too white|skinned, he always likes to blush, like this time.
Tang Qi lost his eyes, and there was no reason not to agree, so he quickly promised: "Okay, I will definitely take you there."
When Tang Qi and Bai Jingyuan finally got out of Yunxiang Restaurant after chatting, Bai Jingyuan's servant Bai Da was already frantic.He has almost searched all over the third street. When he sees Bai Jingyuan, he rushes towards him frantically. Tang Qi pulls Bai Jingyuan over. Bai Dayi loses his footing and falls heavily on the ground.
"Bastard boy, you are courting death."
"Bai Da, Hugh is so rude, this is my friend——Tang Qi."
That white stared, but shouted: "Young master, you don't want to be with such a poor boy, he must be planning something."
Bai Jingyuan raised the water basin in his arms and said, "I can trust a friend who can bother to give this kind of gift."
That Bai Da was stunned, but he still argued strongly: "Even if it's like this, young master, you have to be careful, some people just play hard to get."
"Haven't you been looking for me for a long time, go home." Before leaving, he looked back at Tang Qi and nodded.
"Young master, what Bai Da said is definitely for the sake of the young master..." Bai Da embraced the water basin, but followed closely.
Tang Qi looked at Bai Jingyuan, but he was thinking in his heart, although Xiao Zhengtai is cute, but it is even more distressing. I hope he will be cheerful in the future.
Stranger-Bai Jingming
After seeing off Bai Jingyuan, Tang Qi turned around and went back to Yunxiang Restaurant, and then entered the backyard.Just now he was thinking of giving Bai Jingyuan a gift, but he hasn't counted how much it sold today.
After entering the backyard, he put the money bag on the stone pier, and then spread it out to count the money. After counting, Tang Qi smiled.Although it was still not much, it was more than last time, a full 240 Wen.After Tang Qi put the money back into the purse, he went to the back kitchen and handed the purse to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan touched the purse and just smiled. After a long time, she looked at Tang Qi and said happily, "Qi'er is really capable. She has earned so much money, which is enough for us to live for two months."
Seeing Tang Yan so happy, Tang Qi was happy, but at this moment he looked hesitant.When Tang Yan saw it, she asked, "Qi'er has something to say, just say it, what else is there to be embarrassed about?"
Tang Qi raised his head and said apologetically, "Mother, I want to buy some pens, inks, papers and inkstones."
Tang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Qi'er wants to study, it's a good thing. I see it this way, in the future, Qi'er won't have to give her money from selling fish. Mother knows that Qi'er is a sensible child, and she doesn't know how to do it." Spending some useless money, mother also knows that Qi'er has her own ideas. As long as you think it's right, you can do it with confidence." Tang Yan handed the money bag back to Tang Qi.
"Mother, I don't need this money." After taking back the money bag, Tang Qi wanted to take out some more, but was stopped by Tang Yan.
"Mother has already paid wages today, and the family has enough rice and food in the past few days. We don't have to worry about living expenses this month. What does Mother want the money for? It's Qi'er's business that matters."
Holding the money bag, Tang Qi looked at Tang Yan and didn't insist anymore. It is true that he urgently needs money now.
"Okay, mother, I'm going shopping, I'll be back in a while." After speaking, Tang Qi ran out.
Yan Guo respects literature very much, so literati enjoy extremely high courtesy in Yan Guo, and because of this, the prices of pens, ink, paper and inkstones in Yan Guo are also raised very high.In fact, with the 240 Wen in his hand, he doesn't know if he can buy all the items he needs.
On the third street in Qi Town, basically all the necessities for life are sold, and the items used by elegant scholars such as pens, inks, paper and inkstones are not sold, so Tang Qi went directly to the second street after inquiring. .
There are not many shops on this street, but each shop is not small, and the types of selling are basically jewelry and jade, famous calligraphy and paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and some books.
Tang Qi first walked around the street. There were five shops selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones on this street, namely Wenfengxuan, Fengyage, Dianmoxuan, Liufengzhai and Liumengzhai.So Tang Qi decided to ask Wen Fengxuan first.
As soon as he entered the door, a young man in a gray short shirt came over. Seeing that Tang Qi was a child and his clothes were a little tattered, his expression changed: "Customer, what do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones." Although Tang Qi saw the boy's expression, he still said.
"Oh, a set of [-] wen, I'll take the guests to see how it looks first." The boy then replied lazily.
Tang Qi's face changed when he heard that the money was far away, so he said again: "There are cheaper ones."
"No, no, since I don't have any money, I want to learn how to dance and write, and walk around." Then he waved Tang Qi away.
Tang Qi bit his lip, held back, and then begged: "Brother, I only have 240 Wen now, how about this, you sell me first, and I will save enough money to pay you back in a few days, okay."
"Huh! You treat me as an apprentice on the first day here. I have met many poor and educated people like you. I have never seen money paid back after credit. Walk around, don't delay my business. "This time, the young man has already pulled Tang Qi and dragged him out of Wenfengxuan.
Tang Qi had never been bombarded before, he gritted his teeth, stood in place for a long time before calming down, and then walked to the second Fengyage.
But the situation of Fengya Pavilion, Dianmoxuan and Liufengzhai is similar to that of Wenfengxuan.He was all blasted out.
Looking at the broad street scene of the second street, Tang Qi suddenly felt powerless.It's just that he didn't give up, and Liu Mengzhai of the last family, if it really didn't work, he had to wait a few days before coming back.
Just walking in front of Liu Mengzhai, Tang Qi was a little bit hesitant. Today's experience was more than what he had experienced in his whole life, and he was humiliated not once or twice, so what if he was thrown out again this time.
Covering his face with his hands, Tang Qi did a few mental constructions before he mustered up the courage to enter Liufengzhai.
Liu Fengzhai was also greeted by an apprentice, and Tang Qi immediately took a step back. At this moment, he heard the apprentice ask: "Customer, what do you want to buy?"
"I...I want to buy a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones." When speaking, Tang Qi hesitated.
"Oh, one set is [-] Wen. I'll show the guests." After speaking, the apprentice turned around to take Tang Qi to the studio, but after walking a few steps, he found Tang Qi standing still, so he asked suspiciously . "Why don't the guests leave and take a look?"
"There are cheaper ones here. I don't have enough money."
The apprentice was silent for a while, and then said: "All the items sold by our Liu Mengzhai are top-grade, there are only better ones, but no worse ones."
Tang Qi sighed, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." After Tang Qi came in, he had been standing in front of the counter looking at the account book. The man in the gray gown came over and said.
"Sir, this man..." The apprentice was about to deal with it, but the man raised his hand, blocking his words.Then the man walked towards Tang Qi, looked down at Tang Qi who was hanging his head and refused to raise it, and said. "Do you feel ashamed?"
Tang Qi was taken aback, raised his head, and heard the man continue to say: "Do you feel ashamed to be looked down upon by others for the sake of improving your knowledge?" His voice was still a little low at this time.
"This..." Tang Qi didn't know what to say for a while, and told the man that because of his thin skin, he still told him that he really felt ashamed to be kicked out several times.
"Answer me!" But the man looked at Tang Qi and said seriously.
Tang Qi was suddenly moved by the man's neck, and replied loudly: "Enhancing knowledge is a very noble thing, how could I feel ashamed."
"Yes, Niuwa, no matter how much money this child has, sell him a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
Apprentice Niuwa was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But sir..."
"Sell him!"
"Yes..." Niu Wa didn't dare to refute anymore, and turned around and went into the hall to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Tang Qi was taken aback, but felt that this man was really strange. He walked towards the man, and said, "I will make up enough money in a few days, and I will make up for the difference. Thank you this time."
But the man shook his head: "It's okay, when I saw you, I thought you looked funny, so I sold you. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so easy-going."
Tang Qi clasped his fists with a smile, and said gratefully: "My next Tang Qi, dare to ask Mr. Ma's name."
It's just that the man frowned after hearing Tang Qi's self-report, but after being silent, he still replied: "I'm Bai Jingming." After speaking, he muttered to himself again. "Why do children look like this now?"
Tang Qi was puzzled when he heard this, but when he thought of Bai Jingyuan's name, he hurriedly asked, "I'm being abrupt, Boss Bai knows Bai Jingyuan."
Bai Jingming was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You are talking about my third brother, do you know each other?" He looked at Tang Qi in disbelief.
"Bai Jingyuan and I are friends, even though we only met twice." After speaking, Tang Qi smiled first.
Bai Jingming looked at Tang Qi in surprise: "A few days ago when my third brother came home, his servant told me that my third brother was almost cheated by a poor boy, and he was talking about you?" Listen, but Tang Qi knew that Bai Jingming didn't mean to look down on him.
Tang Qi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it is."
Then Bai Jingming stood next to Tang Qi and kept looking at him. After a long while, he said: "My third younger brother stays in the mansion every day, usually when he goes out, he doesn't talk very much. It's really amazing to meet a friend."
Tang Qi shook his head: "Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to have friends, it's just that he doesn't know how to meet them. Anyway, he's still a child."
Bai Jingming suddenly patted Tang Qi on the forehead, which made Tang Qi stunned for a moment, and then he heard Bai Jingming say: "You are so old-fashioned. You are just like my third brother. Fortunately, you are friends, otherwise you can't harm others. Ignorant children are just like you."
Seeing Bai Jingming shaking his head helplessly, Tang Qi burst out laughing: "Boss Bai is such a funny person, what you said has a very good relationship with Bai Jingyuan, why did Bai Jingyuan develop such a temper?"
Bai Jingming looked at Tang Qi, thought for a while, seemed a little hesitant, but finally said: "I have been wild since I was a child, and my parents couldn't force me to do it, so they shifted their target to my third brother. So every time I see My third brother, seeing his sullen temper, I always feel sorry for him."
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said mischievously: "Although I feel sorry for him, Boss Bai is also relieved."
"You kid, you're quite clever..."
"Sir, the things are packed." At this moment, Niu Wa just brought the things, Tang Qi immediately poured out the money and handed it to Niu Wa, who took the money and went to count it.
Bai Jingyuan looked at Tang Qi and asked again: "You bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for your own use?"
"To tell you the truth, my mother and I are the only ones in my family. We are very poor, but I don't want to continue to be poor, so I want to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It will definitely help me think about things in the future, so I have saved some money. I didn't know if it was enough, so I came here to buy it."
Bai Jingming smiled and patted Tang Qi on the shoulder: "People are poor and wise. It is his blessing that my third brother has you as a friend."
"Boss Bai has won the prize. I told my mother that I will return in a while, but I have been out for a long time now, so I will return now."
"Go, come to me when you buy anything in the future."
Sending Tang Qi to the door, Bai Jingyuan said with a smile, Tang Qi stood still, and then bowed deeply to Bai Jingming before running away.
Bai Jingming watched Tang Qi run away, smiled and turned back to Liu Mengzhai.
Angry Tangzi
There is a saying that goes, if you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive food is, and if you don’t make money, you don’t know how to cherish it.
In fact, Tang Qi's specialty is not only fishing, but also influenced by his grandma. He likes to wave a pen when he has nothing to do.
But in the past, he could buy these things as long as he had something to do, but here, not only was he exhausted for this set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he was also kicked out of the house and humiliated several times. Now holding this set of things in his hand, Tang Qi Never thought they were so precious.
After returning to the restaurant, Tang Qi has been sitting in the backyard, and then waited for Tang Yan to finish work before the two went home together.On the way home, Tang Yan saw that Tang Qi had been carefully holding the set of things, and she just smiled knowingly.
Originally, all this should start to develop in a good direction, but after Tang Qi and Tang Yan returned home, they encountered an unexpected guest.
Originally, she entered the yard and was busy moving things down, but when she walked to the door, she found that the door of the house was ajar, which made Tang Yan, who clearly remembered closing the door in the morning, break out in a sweat.Although the family is poor and has nothing of value, let her rush into the house immediately.Seeing this, Tang Qi followed closely behind.
When I entered the door, it turned out that there was a woman sitting on their dilapidated wooden bench. This woman was dressed in beautiful clothes, the clothes on her body were of good material, and she was quite gorgeous.Seeing Tang Yan and Tang Qi coming in, the woman turned her head, squinted her eyes and gave Tang Yan a sideways look, and said, "You've come." After she turned her head, she looked around the house.
"I've been here for a while, to be honest, this is a house you live in, tsk tsk tsk, it's so broken that even a dog is too lazy to live there. It's really because of your living habits." The woman sized her up maliciously. What he said was even more disgusting, Tang Qi frowned.
"Mrs. Mrs. Lin, the village chief, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Tang Yan's face also changed, but she still asked in a good-tempered manner, and finally let Tang Qi know who it was.
Lin Hua'er---the wife of Tang Futai, the head of Tangjia Village, and the mother of Tang Dabao.It was also the person who came to tell Tang Yan the bad news when Tang Yan was giving birth, almost caused Tang Yan to have a difficult delivery, and liked Tang Qi's father Tang Zhi.
Coming here at this time, Tang Qi didn't think that Lin Hua'er had any kindness.
Lin Hua'er finished looking at the house, then turned to look at Tang Yan, and snorted: "You poor place, I don't even want to come if you invite me."
Tang Qi snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "I don't want to come? Then who is the mean person sitting there now?"
At this moment, Lin Hua'er stood up. It turned out that there was a silk handkerchief on the stool she was sitting on. When she got up, she shook the silk handkerchief in disgust, just like how dirty the stool in Tang Qi's house was. .
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes, only to hear Lin Huaer continue talking.
"I heard...someone saw Tang Qi'er appearing at the market." Tang Qi frowned and changed his mind, feeling bad.
"This..." Tang Yan was taken aback, but didn't know what to say.
"I also heard that someone saw that Tang Qi got some live fish out of nowhere and sold them for a lot of money."
When Tang Yan heard it, Lin Hua'er seemed to know it all, so she could only say: "Actually, those are Qi'er..."
"Hmph, why are you asking so much. Besides, those fish don't belong to me. Uncle Li at the restaurant where my mother works asked me to help sell them. He gave me fifty Wen a month." Tang Qi heard Tang Yan wanted to tell him about him, so she immediately cut off the words and said with a wrinkled face.
Tang Yan was taken aback, but later realized that Lin Hua'er couldn't let Lin Hua'er know about it, so she also shut up and stopped talking.
Lin Hua'er pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what kind of anger she was getting,
