Five hundred and ninetieth chapters magical way of life
"Yes, that's what it means, but I just moved and have no plans to go to those lawyers again. It's not easy for me to make money, so I don't have enough spare money to give it to them." The middle-aged man felt that what Eileen said was quite right.
consistent with my own experience.
"Then you found your wife here?" Hong Tao happened to see the eldest sister coming out from behind and asked the middle-aged man in a low voice.
"Hey, hey, I'm a gangster, where can I find a wife? This is my wife in China." The middle-aged man amused Hong Tao.
"She also ran over from Mexico?" Hong Tao thought it was a bit incredible. Even if Mexico and the United States border, the border is not that easy to run. This couple is so lucky!
"What else are you going for? Sign up for a tour group from China, call me when you get there, and I will pick her up directly from the hotel." The middle-aged man slightly despised Hong Tao's IQ.
"Hey! I forgot about this! Then you opened this small shop?" Hong Tao was not satisfied yet and continued to ask.
"I saved some money when I left the construction team. The boss of the construction team was also a nice guy. He found me this small shop. My husband and I rented it. There was a store in the front and housing in the back. It was very small and there were no bathrooms or anything else.
It's for public use. My wife and her brother look after the store, and I go to eat from Laomei's charity. This small store can't feed so many people, and now her little brother is here again. No, even the place where I live is gone."
The middle-aged man complained under the influence of alcohol.
"Are you going to take relief? How to eat?" Hong Tao discovered another thing he didn't understand, and quickly filled the middle-aged man with another cup.
"Hehehe. I'm not afraid to let you know my secret. In fact, it's not a secret anymore. As for me, I can endure hardships even if I say I'm a bit lazy. I'm lazy if I wasn't trying to make a lot of money.
I lost so much in the stock market. After staying in New York for several years,
, I found a very easy way to make money. Since you invited me to drink, I will chat with you. I see that you are not short of money, so just listen to a story." The middle-aged man deliberately lowered his voice.
It seemed that he was trying to avoid Irene, but in fact what he said could almost be heard in the kitchen.
"Don't worry, my wife will never spread the news to you. I will return to China in a few days, and I will definitely not ruin your good deeds. We are just chatting." Hong Tao quickly reassured him, putting the other party's last bit of caution to rest.
Get rid of it.
"All my expenses now are zero, and I can still earn 2,000 US dollars a month, do you believe it?" The middle-aged man asked Hong Tao with his eyes wide open.
"I don't believe it..." Hong Tao glanced at Irene, who also frowned and said nothing. It seemed that she couldn't figure out what kind of career this man was talking about.
"You see, the clothes I wear are received from community volunteers. Families living relatively well-off in the United States have the habit of donating clothes and things. I wander around those communities when I have nothing to do, and I meet people who give out clothes.
Just take it back. Not only do I have enough clothes, I
My wife and my brother-in-law all have enough clothes to wear. They are all 80% new clothes. They were cleaned and disinfected when they were distributed. They are not in the way at all." The middle-aged man pointed at the clothes on his body, and it turned out that he couldn't tell.
Despite being shabby, it is very clean and tidy.
"If I'm lucky, travel to a few more communities, and have enough clothes, I'll sell them to the new people here, charging 3 or 5 yuan for each piece, and I'll have an income of several hundred dollars in a month. Except
In addition to clothes, when the supermarket here is about to close, they will give away bread that is about to expire for free, and I will also go to get it, one for each person, and I will take it back and sell it to the gangsters here, earning another several hundred yuan a month."
The middle-aged man counted his financial resources for Hong Tao on his fingers.
"Then where do you live? Sleeping on the subway every day?" Hong Tao made the middle-aged man a little confused. He could neither believe it nor disbelieve it. After all, this was not a city he was familiar with.
"I rarely sleep on the subway. The church here provides free accommodation, where I can take a shower, have a laundry room, and even have access to the Internet. This kind of place can only stay for one night, and I have to queue up to get my ticket every morning. I have nothing to do anyway.
I queued up early, and when the weather was nice, I sold my number to those who didn't get it, and then
Later, I went to the subway station to help the buskers, shouting and collecting money, etc., and I could earn a hundred yuan a month." In order to make Hong Tao believe what he said, the middle-aged man even shouted a few words in English, "What a shame."
He said that with a smooth New York accent, he would be able to pass it off as an English teacher when he returned to China, and it would have to be a special one.
"Then where do you usually stay? You can't just walk on the street all the time, right?" Hong Tao also wanted to find something unreasonable.
"Hey, you are a layman. This place is different from our country. If you want to be lazy, there are places everywhere, such as libraries. The libraries here are basically free. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. Look at my appearance.
, no one can say that I am a homeless person. I hold a book in my hand and look at the people with each other.
Like a scholar, everyone respects me. I read books in the library almost every day and read everything. Now I am studying Spanish by myself. I feel that I may not necessarily read less books than those professors." The middle-aged man turned around and came from behind.
He picked up the book he had brought in from the table and handed it to Hong Tao.
"Holy shit! You can understand this!" Hong Tao's hair stood up when he saw the name of this book. This is so shocking. "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" by the famous British economist Keynes
This is the pioneering work of the book, which founded a school of economics. Hong Tao didn't dare to read it because he couldn't understand it. Most of the words in it were professional terms. He spent more time looking up the dictionary than reading the book. But now he has it in a
In the hands of Chinese smugglers with only a high school education.
"Just watching to kill time." The middle-aged man waved his hand casually, seeing that he had already read it.
"Then... what about medical treatment?" Hong Tao was almost convinced by this talented person. After thinking about it, he finally came up with an inevitable question.
"Hey, there are no charges in public hospitals, but they only accept emergency services. But that's not a problem for us. When I was at work, I often took sick leave. I was good at pretending to be sick. I made the doctor stunned and said I fainted.
I just fainted, my face turned pale, and my head was sweating." The middle-aged man was talking about a technique he was good at, and while talking, he stood up and planned to perform it live for Hong Tao.
"Hey...hey...I believe it, I believe it!" Hong Tao quickly held him down. According to Hong Tao's estimation, the middle-aged man has already drunk. If he drinks too much, he will be drunk. If he drinks less, he will not be happy.
, just right!
"Let me tell you this, from toothbrushes and toothpaste to a change of underwear, I get them all for free. As long as you work hard, you can get free samples everywhere. Did you ask me about this cigarette just now? Do you believe it?
This cigarette is for nothing. Although it doesn’t look good, you can try it and it will definitely taste good.” The middle-aged man took out another cannon from his pocket and insisted on Hong Tao lighting it. Hong Tao couldn’t refuse too much and could only pinch it.
I held my nose and endured it.
"Well, the taste is really good, not choking at all, and quite strong!" Hong Tao took a small sip first, and was surprised. Although this handmade cigarette didn't look very good, the tobacco inside tasted very good.
"Do you know where I get this tobacco?" the middle-aged man asked, shaking his head triumphantly.
"The sample I received..." Hong Tao answered without any confidence. He had never seen anyone trying cut tobacco on someone, but a whole box of cigarettes was possible.
"Hahahahaha, you will understand if you ask your wife to take you for a walk in Central Park tomorrow, but I can't tell which park it was picked in. It took me two years to find out where the tobacco tastes best.
"The middle-aged man laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, and then mysteriously told Hong Tao a place name.
At this point, Hong Tao finally figured out this man's secret. He couldn't think of anything else to ask. Besides, it was getting late and the kitchen had been cleaned up. The eldest sister had nothing to do so she popped her head out to take a look. She was probably urging Hong Tao.
Well. Hong Tao couldn't be too ignorant and quickly settled all the bills, then said goodbye to the couple, walked out of the alley, walked north along Chinatown, and walked towards Irene's apartment.
"Tobacco is grown in Central Park?" Hong Tao was still thinking about what the man just said as he walked, and finally asked him to find an unreasonable place.
"I really don't know about this, and I don't know what tobacco looks like, but everything is grown there, and there are many small parks. You don't want to go there to pick tobacco, right?" Irene knew Hong Tao's character.
Sometimes people are like children. When they think of something, they have to do it immediately. If they don't do it, they won't be able to sleep.
"I don't know what tobacco is like. I'm just curious. Do you think what he said is reliable?" Hong Tao was a little unsure based on his own experience, so he could only ask Irene. After all, she was the landlord here.
"You are really persistent. I will take you to see it tomorrow. You haven't been there anyway, so you just want to go shopping." Irene is very familiar with Hong Tao's habit of asking questions, and she is not opposed to this kind of curiosity.
Heart.
"Can that eldest sister's husband really live on all kinds of free items? Can he still make money?" Hong Tao is still a little confused. He can make money just by walking around without any expenses for a month without doing anything.
I can't imagine what it's like.
"What he said is true, but not everyone can adapt to that kind of life. How about you try it starting tomorrow? See how long you can persist." Irene gave Hong Tao a suggestion.
"I'll go if you come with me. I'm not familiar with this place. I can't even find a church or a community. I need you to lead the way." Hong Tao would not fall for this evil trick.
