189: False alarm
Zhang Peng worked hard for a while and packed up the bags for several people. Finally, he got the money and collected 80 yuan together. The few people scanned the code and left, and the scene was embarrassing that there was no one else.
But I have sold ten copies today, and Zhang Peng was quite satisfied. Everything is difficult at the beginning!
The young man selling baked gluten opposite was staring at the rice noodles on Zhang Peng's stall, looking like he was reluctant to speak.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Peng handed over a cigarette. Seeing the cigarette, the young man quickly took it with a smile, lit it and took a sip, looked at Zhang Peng again, and asked embarrassedly.
"Brother, did you do it in a hotel before? I think your fried noodles feel quite high-end!"
Zhang Peng shook his head and said helplessly.
"I just make big pot rice cooks, but I have some ancestral skills, so let's make a living!"
The young man nodded, stretched his thumb at Zhang Peng and said.
"Brother, to be honest, I swallowed my saliva when I smelled this smell, and I didn't know how it tasted. Unfortunately, the price was a little higher, otherwise the business would definitely be good!"
Zhang Peng said indifferently.
"It's okay if the price is high, and I don't want to make small profits and sell quickly. This is good, and I'm more relaxed. But, buddy, I said you want to eat, so you can speak, don't look at me with that look!"
The young man smiled embarrassedly and said helplessly.
"Brother, to be honest, I haven't opened it yet, and I don't have ten dollars in my pocket. Why don't I exchange it for you with gluten?"
Zhang Peng glanced at the gluten, shook his head helplessly, turned on the fire, and said to the young man.
"Forget it, I'll treat you, what do you want to eat?"
The young man's eyes lit up, he laughed, thanking him and pointing at the fried rice.
"I want fried rice, buddy, can you add more rice? I haven't eaten dinner yet!"
Zhang Peng shook his head helplessly and started to work hard. This fried rice made the two of them closer. The young man named Wu Xing, who was twenty-four years old, so Zhang Peng called him Xiao Wu.
It started from this day that the two became friends. Every day, Xiao Wu was next to him, bragging and smoking, and the night passed.
As old customers began to drive Zhang Peng's business, it gradually opened up, but it was far from the hottest level. It sold about twenty or thirty copies every day, and most of them were brought to buy new customers, and they were basically young people.
Few new customers who passed by came here to buy them specifically. Most of them accidentally ordered a portion of fried noodles. When they paid, they saw the price. They were dissatisfied and shouted a few words, and finally they paid and left.
However, seeing that the business is getting better, Zhang Peng is not in a hurry. He has only been setting up a stall for a week and his daily profit is more than 100. Now he is at least a little income.
The reason why Zhang Peng was not in a hurry was because he started to take out his mobile phone to watch TV series during this period, which was naturally influenced by Xiao Wu.
If Zhang Peng's business is sloppy and he is still a waste of time, then Xiao Wu's business can only be described in two words.
"dismal!"
The real warrior dares to face the bleak life. Xiao Wu is such a person. The reason why he goes out to set up a stall at around 10 o'clock in the evening is that most of the people who collect management fees are collected before 10 o'clock, so he will not have the pressure of rent.
As for the business, he confessed himself that when the business is good, he can sell it for about 100 yuan, and when the business is bad, it is normal for a few yuan. Anyway, Zhang Peng has never seen him change the gluten. He is always in a slime every day. He can't sell it and soak it in water overnight. He is full again.
So, Xiao Wu took his mobile phone to watch the show every night when he had nothing to do. Zhang Peng, as his neighbor, was also affected when he was nothing to do. Thinking of the world in his dream, Zhang Peng felt that he should follow the show, and maybe he would be affected to enter the world of a certain show.
Although when you enter some worlds, the characters in those worlds may be affected by themselves, because of the butterfly effect, everyone's destiny and mentality are no longer the same as in the original work, but no matter how different it is, it is better to know more about the plot characters than to be blind.
Although it seems that there are not many dreams that he has entered, Zhang Peng has also discovered some rules that when he enters the dream world, he seems to be affected by some reality, such as being affected by some moods, and having some resonance, and finally he will experience the life of a certain character in a plot.
Thinking of this, when he was fine during the day, he used the fast food restaurant WiF to download several TV series and try to take the time to watch it.
Thinking about it, I have not watched TV series seriously for many years. That day, Zhang Peng accidentally saw a TV series called Dajiang Dahe. After watching it, he saw that the reputation was quite good, and then downloaded the first one to his mobile phone.
After watching the first episode, Zhang Peng felt it was OK, but unfortunately, as the business gradually improved, he didn't have much time to watch the drama. He only caught up with the eleven episodes for two or three weeks, but Zhang Peng was not in a hurry, just watch it slowly.
Chen Ling's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but with the care of her mother-in-law, he felt relieved.
Zhang Peng's late-night snack business has gradually become busy. Although it is not very popular, it has gradually become more formal. Fried noodles worth ten yuan per serving are not expensive for young people. The main thing that attracts them is the taste. After a month, Zhang Peng also has a group of loyal and old customers.
By the end of the month, after Zhang Peng settled the accounts, the profit in the first month was almost 4,000. This was the profit after rent. In addition to the profit after rent, he almost made back the cost in the first month. The business was OK.
The business in the second month was obviously much better than the first month. One night, I even sold 80 copies, which was comparable to that of Central Street. Moreover, Zhang Peng was expensive, ten dollars per portion, and the profit was more than six dollars per portion. This income made many other vendors a little jealous.
But jealousy is useless. The taste is here, and they can’t make any money.
After getting busy, Zhang Peng didn’t have much time to watch TV series. In two months, Dajiang Dahe only saw twenty episodes, but he really didn’t have much time to watch.
But now he is quite satisfied with this kind of life. His income from midnight snacks this month can exceed 10,000, plus his daytime income, he can definitely exceed 20,000 this month. In this city, this income is already considered a high-income group for workers.
Zhang Peng originally watched the TV series Dajiang Dahe as a pastime. He envied a character in the drama in this TV series, Lei Dongbao.
Lei Dongbao has a strong personality and a vulgar man, but he dares to do, dares to fight, and works in a hurry. This personality makes him admire him.
In addition to these, the reason why he envied Lei Dongbao the most was because this guy married a particularly beautiful wife. His wife was Song Yunping, who was beautiful and kind-hearted. Moreover, Song Yunping was the type he liked, hardworking and a standard virtuous man. He even felt like he had a wife like this, and his husband would not want.
Seeing Song Yunping having a big belly and still busy with that house, Zhang Peng had the urge to let her take a break. Thinking about his wife not even wanting to touch cold water every day, when she looked at Song Yunping, Zhang Peng felt really envious.
Of course, times have changed. If Song Yunping lived in this era, it would definitely not be so miserable. Just when Zhang Peng was still envious, he finally took the time to see episode 21.
But as soon as he saw it, Zhang Peng was stunned. Song Yunping tripped over the wire with her belly, but in the end... she had a life of one corpse. Seeing Song Yunping covered with white cloth, Zhang Peng was stunned. His mind was full of mess and he could not continue watching.
Just as he was stunned, his cell phone suddenly rang. Zhang Peng picked it up and saw that it was called by his mother-in-law and asked him to go back quickly. Chen Ling had just fallen and was bleeding a little now.
Zhang Peng was stunned and didn't even care about the tricycle. He picked up his phone and walked back. At this moment, two pictures seemed to appear in his mind.
One looks like someone is Song Yunping is covered with white cloth, her eyes are closed without a trace of blood, her face is pale, and the other picture is that Chen Ling falls in the bathroom, with blood underneath, and looks painful, and she shouts that her husband will help her quickly.
Zhang Peng's mind was full of these two scenes, messy and he could not think about anything else. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law holding Chen Ling sitting on the sofa, with a bloody toilet paper thrown in the trash can next to him.
Seeing Zhang Peng coming back, both women at home breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Peng hurried forward, looked at Chen Ling who was a little pale, and asked quickly.
"What's going on? Go to the hospital first!"
Chen Ling reached out and held his hand, shook her head and said.
"It should be nothing big. I accidentally fell and it didn't hurt very much. I just had a little bleeding from the bottom. It's eleven o'clock now, and I'm not asking for first aid. The hospital doctor probably got off work, so I'll go tomorrow!"
Zhang Peng quickly looked at his mother-in-law and asked anxiously.
"Mom, is it really nothing?"
The mother-in-law looked at Chen Ling, nodded and said.
"I just looked at it and it was a little bloody. It shouldn't be a big deal. Now it's not bleeding anymore. If you don't look at it, it really won't work. I'll check it out tomorrow during the day!"
Zhang Peng rubbed Chen Ling's hands and looked at the time. He felt that his mother-in-law was right. He should have thought too much, but he must check it tomorrow.
Since nothing happened, Zhang Peng could only comfort him and continued to go back and prepare to close the stall. As soon as he arrived at the stall, he saw Xiao Wu vigorously stir-frying a portion of fried noodles. There was a young man waiting next to him, and he should be coming to business.
Seeing Zhang Peng coming back, Xiao Wu quickly smiled and moved out of the position and asked Zhang Peng to take over. Zhang Peng thanked him, but after looking at the somewhat black rice noodles, he said helplessly to the customer.
"I'll cook you again!"
The young man, who had been a little dissatisfied, quickly nodded with a smile, saying that he could.
Zhang Peng lifted the pot and was about to pour out the powder in the pot. Xiao Wu hurriedly stopped him.
"Brother Peng, don't pour it down, don't waste it, just give it to me!"
Zhang Peng glanced at the mime fan, shook his head helplessly and said.
"It's better to waste than to eat it. I'll fry it for you later!"
As he said that, he poured the rice noodles into the trash can next to him and started working hard. He fryed two portions in a row, packed one for the customer to take away, and one for Xiao Wu.
Seeing Xiao Wu picking up the chopsticks and eating them in big mouthfuls, Zhang Peng lit a cigarette aside, took a deep breath, and vomited a cigarette ring. He had not recovered from Chen Ling's fall yet.
He is already in his thirties, and this is his first child. If something happens, he really doesn't know how to face him. Suddenly, he can't help but think of Song Yunping's figure in his mind, and he can't help but linger. He snatched the cigarette out with some irritation.
He took out his cell phone and stopped watching TV series. Instead, he opened Baidu, searched for the introduction of Dajiang Dahe, and read it carefully.
After a brief look, he realized that Dajiang Dahe told the story of three male protagonists, from reform and opening up to the next thirty years, the number one male protagonist Song Yunhui, also known as Song Yunping's younger brother.
The second male lead Lei Dongbao, the third male lead Yang Xun, and Zhang Peng took a brief look at the protagonist's personal information and closed the page. He couldn't calm down at this moment and still had Song Yunping's pale face in his mind.
Looking at the dim night, Zhang Peng had a vague premonition that the next time he dreamed, it might be related to this big river, because it had just resonated with him.
If the next world is really a big river, then you may be able to grasp some of the rules of the dream world. Perhaps when you wait for the next world, you can try to choose some worlds you want to go to. As long as you resonate with your heart, you can enter a certain world.
Thinking of this, Zhang Peng even had some small expectations in his heart. Perhaps he could really change Song Yunping's fate in his dream and allow that beautiful and kind-hearted girl to escape.
I don’t know if this guess is accurate. Thinking of this, Yu Huanshui took out his mobile phone and started to play it from episode 21. He wanted to take advantage of the last time to finish watching the drama. If he really went to the world of Dajiang River, he would have some prophets, which would also avoid being affected in certain events.
This TV series tells the different life experiences of the three male protagonists. In the first twenty episodes, even the third male protagonist Yang Xun had never appeared a few times. It seems that nothing big happened in other plots.
After watching episode 21, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. Xiao Wu yawned, said goodbye to Zhang Peng, and then pushed the tricycle away. Zhang Peng looked at the crowd of people, thought about it, and closed the stall as soon as possible.
After cleaning up, Chen Ling was not asleep yet. After Zhang Peng asked, he learned that there was no pain in his body. He then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started boiling water and taking a shower.
It was already past one minute to go to bed and the ordinary day ended like this.
After turning off the lights and going to bed, Zhang Peng looked at the ceiling with a little tired expression. There was no ceiling fan in this room, only snow-white walls. Zhang Peng looked at the snow-white ceiling in a daze. Although he felt very tired at this moment, he could not sleep at all. Today's incident made him still feel a little scared. Fortunately, all this was a false alarm. I hope he thought about it too much!
Chen Ling by the pillow was already asleep. Zhang Peng looked back and the anxiety on his face finally calmed down a little. Chen Ling's snoring slowly rang in the darkness. Zhang Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head, closed his eyes, and forced himself to fall asleep.
Close my eyes, but there is a figure in my mind that can’t be gone. I just hope that I will dream all night!
Accompanied by the snoring, Zhang Peng's consciousness slowly fell into a confused state, as if he was dreaming, and reality and dreams slowly alternated again.
He seemed to see himself, and he was already looking at the world from another perspective of life. He raised his head, saw the blue sky and white clouds, the low houses, and the people around him, the unique mental state of the 1970s and 1980s.
