Fisherman

Zhao Qian handed the received money to the person who was packing his clothes in the back room and was going to take a shower.

Zhou Ge'er carried him behind his back to get clothes from the simple cabinet in the house. After looking around, there were actually only two pieces, he just didn't want to turn around and pay attention to people.

Men don’t have good things. Earlier, I heard people say that men like to hang out in Goulanyuan and spend a lot of money overnight. Although there are exaggerations in it, it must be a lot of money. Farmers’ food and clothing are problems, so naturally there is no I have seen those rumored Fengyue venues.

Before that, he had never thought that these places would have anything to do with him, but he never thought that he would be angry if he heard it from his man after only two days in the market.

Zhao Qian saw that the young man didn't take the money and didn't say a word. He must still be angry in his heart, and hugged him from behind: "I've turned the clothes inside and out, are you still angry?"

Zhou Ge'er struggled a bit, but he didn't break free, and his tone was a little stiff: "I'm going to take a bath."

"I just said that Goulan Courtyard is not the one I want to go to. Isn't that the only place in the market that is still open at night? There are many people, and they are all people who are willing to spend money. I just want to do business. , I raised my mouth casually, what are you thinking!" Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip.

After listening to the words, Zhou Ge'er was not so awkward anymore, and took the clothes in his hand with half-belief.

Zhao Qian took the opportunity to give him the silver: "Look, you keep all the money, I can't go anywhere."

Brother Zhou didn't say a word, put away the money, then shook his clothes, motioning him to wash up.

Seeing people go out, Zhao Qian sat down on the bench. After a busy day, he smelled of smoke, and he didn't dare to fall on the bed. It was late at night. Since he came to this place, he worked from night to day Sleeping has been turned upside down, and now I am used to sleeping at night, and I feel a little tired when I sit.

After taking a gown and big underpants from the cabinet, he shamelessly followed to take a shower.The shop is only that big, and after the water is boiled, the back door must be opened, and there is a closed open-air place outside, which can only be entered through the back door, which is just right for taking a shower on a hot day.

Brother Zhou was startled when he opened the door, only to see the black shadow quickly cover his body with the clothes he had taken off.

"You, why did you come in!" Brother Zhou hurriedly took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.

Zhao Qian smiled: "I haven't seen you, I'm ashamed!"

As he said that, he took off his clothes, quickly took off his pants and poured water on his body. Brother Zhou's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to move when he heard the sound of water.

Zhao Qian rushed for a while, looked at the young man on the side, and stretched out his hand to pull him over: "It's so dark, who can see clearly! Come here, wash up and go to bed early."

Brother Zhou still felt embarrassed. Looking around, who in the village would take a bath with his man? Even if he was a brother, he might not be as reserved as a girl, but this is too Meng Lang...

"If you don't wash, I'll wash it for you!" Zhao Qian poured a ladle of water on him, and his face immediately burned up: "I'll do it myself."

He squatted beside the wooden barrel, and he could vaguely see Zhao Qian's tendon and flesh, his face was even hotter, and after taking a bath, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got out with a flushed face.

Zhao Qian stood where he was, looking at the man who was running faster than a rabbit, feeling a little complicated.

Really, he is a serious person with traditional thinking, nothing else, just want to take a shower early and go to bed!

The bed in the shop was very narrow, and it was completely incomparable with the big bed in the village. There was no shortage of money to change to a big bed, but the room was too small to fit, so the two had to squeeze together to sleep.

Brother Zhou slept in it, and the aftertaste on his face was still there. He lay on the bed, but it seemed that the bed was not that small. When Zhao Qian lay down on it, the bed was full. I can't get too close to brother Zhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, but now it's different, raw rice is cooked, and when I roll on the bed, it's natural to have to dawdle with my wife.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Brother Zhou pushed his strong body as hard as a rock. It was already hot in summer when he fell asleep, but now it's even hotter.

Zhao Qian muttered, "I don't even want to give you a hug!"

Brother Zhou blushed, grabbed his hand and threw it out, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you hug him!"

Zhao Qian smiled resentfully: "Okay, okay, sleep, I won't tease you anymore."

The next day, the two of them were having breakfast when the shop door opened. The man who borrowed the food box last night returned it early in the morning.

Seeing the tired look on the man's face, Zhao Qian reckoned that he had just left work. Places like Goulan were open at night and closed during the day. The day and night were reversed, similar to a barbecue restaurant.

"Yo, are you still eating?"

"Would you like to have some together?" Zhao Qian said politely.

The man shook his head, and he was still rushing back to sleep: "Yesterday we ate your barbecue in the yard, and we almost got into a fight because we didn't buy enough. Mom asked me to bake it later in the evening and send some over to celebrate. Lanyuan, do you know? There is a small three-story building on West Street, you will know when you go there!"

As he spoke, he took out the silver that his mother had given him, and gave it away before it was even hot.

Zhao Qian took the one tael of silver.

"Be more careful, there are many girls and boys in our yard. This is the deposit, and my mother will give it back when I send it over."

"to make."

After the man left, Zhao Qian drank up the porridge in the bowl, and educated Brother Zhou: "Look, that man just now was working in the Goulan Yard, what a good business!"

Brother Zhou looked at that man's staggering back, as if he was extremely sleepy. It seems that all walks of life are not easy to do. He misunderstood Zhao Qian a little yesterday.

He promised, and then ordered a bowl of porridge with Zhao Qian...

Today's business is much better than yesterday. It is estimated that it spreads to ten, ten to hundreds. Gradually, everyone knows that the shop is here. In the past, customers would buy two skewers of barbecue and leave. Now there is After the shop, I already like to start ordering grilled fish and grilled scallop vermicelli.

Sitting at a table drinking sour plum juice and eating grilled fish is very pleasant.But Zhao Qian always felt that there was a shortage of wine in the shop. After all, the people who came out were men who liked to drink a few sips. Now drinking plum juice is probably because it feels cool and strange after being chilled. After a long time, it is still a good sip. After all, barbecue is better with wine.

He decided to find a day to go to Xiaoer's restaurant and ask their boss to buy some wine in bulk.

"Here's a big grilled fish, and when it's done, send it to the first tailor shop on West Street." The customer put down a food box with a ten-note deposit on it: "Put a few more pieces of tofu, I'm still busy, and it's ready." Send it over."

"it is good."

Zhao Qian first grilled the broken skewers in his hand, and then asked Brother Zhou to kill a fish. I don’t know who told the man that the grilled fish was filled with tofu. It seems that he is quite knowledgeable. After the fish is grilled, He couldn't let go of his hand here, so he could only let Brother Zhou send the food box over.

"Can you find your way?"

Brother Zhou nodded: "Go out to the west in the alley, I know."

"That's it, go and come back early."

Brother Zhou went out of the alley with the food box. The sun was already getting hot around noon. People in the market tried to hide under the shade of the trees as much as possible. He was not afraid of the sun. , there was no shade to cover the sun, so he walked quickly to West Street.

There were few people in the alley, but outside the alley, it was much more lively, shouting one after another, he looked for the tailor shop, this street was full of pawnshops, jewelry, tailors, rouge and gouache shops, the shops were not only in the market, but also It is much bigger than their shop, and only rich people can afford it.

When he found the shop, he was overjoyed. He was about to go in when a small sedan chair was brought up to him. He had never seen a sedan chair before. It was a hot day, sitting in the sedan chair was not only cool, but he didn’t have to walk. He looked at it strangely. He glanced twice, unexpectedly, the sedan chair wobbled and stopped in front of the tailor's shop.

The bearer stopped the sedan chair, opened a corner of the sedan chair curtain, and said respectfully, "Aunt Cao, we're here."

As soon as the words were finished, a young woman in a peach-pink gauze came out from inside. Brother Zhou always felt a little familiar with that figure, and when she looked up, her eyes opened slightly.

Isn't this girl in Chinese clothes full of hairpins and face turned into rouge Cao Fang who ran away!

He couldn't help being shocked, let alone meeting her, he didn't expect to be like this.

Cao Fang, who got off the sedan chair, obviously also noticed that someone was staring at her a few steps away. She thought it was a prodigal son who coveted her beauty, but she turned out to be an acquaintance at a glance.

She panicked for a moment, but seeing Brother Zhou dressed in coarse cloth and with a straight face, no different from when he was in the village, but she was no longer a little peasant girl, a sense of superiority suddenly arose in her heart.She waved the silk fan in her hand and walked over step by step, pretending to be surprised: "Brother Zhou!"

"Why are you here?" Brother Zhou asked lightly.

She glanced into the shop: "Come and choose some fabrics. The color of the new clothes the master bought for me yesterday is not good. I want to choose some new ones."

Smiling, she asked back, "Why are you here? Do you want to make clothes too?"

As she said that, she frowned, as if remembering something: "The fabrics in this shop are a bit expensive. Have you brought enough money? If not, I'll lend you some."

After beckoning, the bearer handed over a purse, she opened it casually and took out two taels of silver from it, like sending a beggar on the street: "Take it."

Brother Zhou lowered his eyes: "No, I'm just here to deliver something."

After speaking, he clenched the food box tightly, hurried up the steps and entered the shop.Cao Fang watched his back and followed him.

"It can be regarded as delivered." The tailor gave the rest of the money to Brother Zhou, looked up and saw Cao Fang who was slowly walking in, and greeted warmly: "Hey, Aunt Cao is here, today I want to choose cloth or not?" Ready-to-wear?"

Brother Zhou took the money, greeted the boss, and hurried out again.

Seeing this, Cao Fang said to him, "Brother Zhou, send my regards to Zhao Qian!"
