"Gun? Is this what a gun looks like?" Little Luo Ren looked curious. His father's gun was long and pointed. Uncle Cheng taught him this name for his father.
"Brother, please explain quickly, this is your strength!" Cheng Yu pushed Luo Ren towards Qiu Zizhao and just took the opportunity to change the topic. There are too many things that cannot be explained clearly. Let time slowly dilute it.
"How come guns are my forte? What I like is that gun!"
"It's all the same, it's all the same!"
"Sister, just call me Cheng Yu from now on. Otherwise, you will always have to explain, and you still can't explain clearly. Where is the general?"
"The general was called by Principal Song to pay wages. Young master, no, Mr. Cheng, what is wages?" After living here for a week, Wang Jin'e didn't understand many things.
"Sister, my salary is only silver, which is used for shopping."
"The young master is here." Luo Yong came in from outside, saw Cheng Yu, and said hello first.
From the small matter of greeting people when entering the door, Cheng Yu could feel the changes in Luo Yong. He was gradually integrating into this society.
"Coach Luo!" Qiu Zizhao was a little embarrassed. Privately, he already knew that the person standing in front of him was General Luo Cheng, and only a few people knew about it. This was a confidential matter.
"General, I have brought you an apprentice, my senior brother Qiu Zizhao. You saw him that day. This guy likes guns very much. He is obsessed with them. He wants to worship the general as his disciple."
"Yes, coach, this is my apprenticeship gift. It's not respectful!" Qiu Zizhao lifted the gift from the wall behind him. It was two bottles of liquor and two packs of snacks.
Luo Yong was a little confused by the situation in front of him. He looked at Cheng Yu with confused eyes and at a loss.
"Little Master, what is this?"
"Oh, general, he wants to learn marksmanship from you. Just teach him well in the future. Just accept the gift first." Cheng Yu felt a little anxious, and it seemed that he needed to help them adapt as soon as possible.
Luo Yong accepted Qiu Zizhao's gift.
"Eat, little master, general..." Wang Jin'e greeted.
Cheng Yu frowned when he saw the food on the table.
On the square table, there were only two plates of pickles and a basket of steamed buns.
It's because he didn't think about it. Today is the 16th. Today is the market day of Huajiaji. The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth turned up again, indicating that he had some concerns in his heart.
"General, I heard from my sister that you just went to collect your salary. How much did you receive?"
"One thousand yuan, the principal said this is the highest salary in the school. I have not done any good work, so I deserve it!" Luo Yong's face turned red. These few words were divided into two dynasties.
"Sister, let's go out to eat today, and take you to the market by the way, and buy some things." Cheng Yu's idea is very simple. If you go to a market, you will come into contact with many people and things, and you must let them adapt as soon as possible.
Besides, he was originally here to improve the food, but the food was too simple, even worse than the canteen. He felt bad and blamed himself. After all, adults can make do with it, but there is a child who cannot.
"Yes, I've paid the salary, and I'll invite the young master." Luo Yong returned to his normal state.
"No, general, sister, when you come here, I should take care of you. Today I will be the host." Cheng Yu's attitude left no room for doubt. He walked over and picked up little Luo Ren, "Let's go, Ren'er, uncle will take you to eat."
Delicious.”
"Let's go! Let's eat delicious food! Chirp! Chirp!" Luo Ren was in Cheng Yu's arms, not idle for a moment, squeezing the trigger, and making sounds from his mouth and the toy at the same time.
The sound of chirping.
The Huajia Market is very lively, with hawkers hawking along the street, making it noisy. In a few days, it will be the Grain Rain season, and farm work in the fields will gradually increase.
A group of people gathered in front, and there was intermittent shouting and cursing.
"You young man, how do you do business? You don't admit your shortcomings, and your attitude is so bad!" a woman accused.
"I said, eldest sister, what you said is wrong. You didn't pay attention to the scale when you bought it. You left and came back to look for it. Who knows if you did something to deliberately blackmail me!" The young man didn't speak very fast.
.
Cheng Yu squeezed into the crowd, and everyone followed behind.
"What are you talking about? I bought you fifty kilograms of potatoes. When I went home, I weighed them forty kilograms, which is ten kilograms less. If it's three or two kilograms less, I'll forget it. It's easy to carry such a heavy bag so far away.
Fuck you." The woman became even more angry and finally exploded, spitting out curse words, her slightly fat figure, and breathing heavily.
"Why are you scolding people? It's reasonable to explain!"
"I'm going to scold you. If you don't weigh me enough, I'm going to scold you! If you get angry, I'll smash your stall and poke your scale!" The woman was unforgiving and looked like she was going to fight.
"Pah!" The young man threw the scale on the stall, "If you dare, try sticking it out!" His momentum was not weak at all.
"Me!" The woman reached for the scale.
"Wait!" Cheng Yu pressed the scale beam, "Sister, don't worry, I'll help you evaluate it."
"Okay, let's let this little brother talk, and everyone will comment." It seemed that the woman was obviously in the right, so she probably wasn't lying.
Cheng Yu glanced at the bag on the ground. Based on his perception, it was obviously not fifty kilograms, not thirty-five or six kilograms.
"Boss, no matter what, when people come to buy your food, you should let them see the scale in person. Even if they don't look at the scale, you still have the responsibility to remind them. Now that people come to buy your food, you should also weigh it again.
One scale, if it is really missing, you should make up for it."
"That's right, this little brother is right, consumers' rights and interests are protected." Someone stepped forward, and the onlookers started to criticize.
"Young man, you can't sell vegetables like this. You have to be honest, so let's give it a title."
"You can't use his scale, there's something wrong with his scale!" Seeing everyone helping her, the woman became more confident and very rational.
An enthusiastic person borrowed a scale from a nearby stall.
"Just say it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!" The young man felt guilty and still spoke harshly.
"35 pounds!" The vegetable seller had a black line on his head. Damn it, am I so cruel? Why is there such a big difference?
"This is too dark, young man, I really should smash you up." The onlookers were filled with indignation.
"Forget it, forget it, it's not easy. He just needs to make up for me." Women are very tolerant. After all, there are still many kind-hearted people.
The young man obediently weighed another sixteen pounds amidst the crowd's criticism, but he was unwilling to do so.
Everyone dispersed with discussion.
"My lord, do people today have such a lack of integrity?" Luo Yong understood what was going on.
"General, people's hearts are no longer ancient now. With the serious lack of faith, integrity is nothing. Take this scale as an example. The scales of the ancients were made of sixteen taels. Each pound has sixteen stars.
Out of sixteen taels." Everyone followed Cheng Yu, Qiu Zizhao hugged Luo Ren, they were already very familiar with each other.
"Sixteen stars, each one has a meaning. The first seven are the Big Dipper, the next are the South Dipper, and the last three are longevity, wealth, and fortune." Cheng Yu paused for a moment and continued.
"The most important thing is that at that time, people believed that God was watching what people did. When weighing others, if you weighed someone less, you would lose your blessing; if you weighed someone less, you would lose your fortune; if you weighed someone less, you would lose your fortune; if you weighed someone less, you would lose your fortune; if you weighed someone less, you would lose your fortune;
If you lose two, your life span will be reduced. People will consciously abide by integrity."
"Nowadays, people are superstitious and just don't believe it anymore."
"If you really don't believe it, that's it. The fatal thing is that your beliefs are too mixed. Some people believe in fate, some believe in money, some believe in power, some worship Bodhisattva, some worship Buddha, some worship Guan Gong, some worship ancestors, and some don't care about anything else.
Believe, some people believe this today and that tomorrow.”
As we walked, we came to a home-cooked restaurant.
"Let's eat here and let the general and sister try the local home-cooked food." Cheng Yu stopped and took the lead to walk in.
Being taken into a small private room on the second floor by the waiter, Cheng Yu ordered several common home-cooked dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried bean sprouts with carrots, tofu mixed with green onions, braised pork, white-chopped chicken, and sweet and sour fish.
Of course, most of these dishes are things that Wang Jin'e and Luo Yong have never heard of or seen.
While the waiter was serving the dishes, Cheng Yu introduced them one by one, "This red tomato is called a tomato, and it has a history of less than three hundred years." The waiter looked at the people on the table as if they were looking at monsters.
"This is called potato. There is a scientific name for potato. It also has a history of about three hundred years."
"Haha, I'm laughing so hard! Is there anyone who doesn't know Tudou?" A carefree voice came into the private room, and it sounded familiar.
In a small restaurant, the soundproofing of the private rooms is not very good, and the room is close to the stairs. Next to the stairs is the kitchen, so the voices inside can be heard clearly.
"Speaking of potatoes, you don't know that I made a vegetable seller submissive today." The pride of victory was clearly heard in the woman's voice.
"Master, it's the woman who buys groceries." Luo Yong also recognized who it was.
Cheng Yu said nothing and nodded, always with a smile on his face.
"It seems that the boss lady has made money again from buying vegetables." A voice complimented.
"Nonsense, I personally took action, unlike you useless things, I tell you." The woman was even more proud after being complimented, and she continued to impart her experience.
"The vegetable seller saw that I bought a lot, so he said he was good and gave me a cent cheaper per catty, but actually the portion was less, thinking I didn't know, hum!"
"When I came back, I poured out a lot of it, picked up the bag and went to look for him again. After I made a big fuss, guess what!" the woman gave the lie.
"The vegetable seller must be cowardly."
"It can't be that simple. Let me guess, it must be the boss's wife. She stepped forward and kicked him, trampled the guy under her feet, and then popped his scale beam with a snap. He was so frightened that he obediently filled our boss's wife with a bottle.
Bag of potatoes.”
"Haha, haha!" There was a burst of laughter.
"Screw you, that's no longer a bandit or robber, I'm a reasonable person."
"It's not like the vegetable seller was unprepared. He also had his own theory. When I approached him, he said, did you go back and do something to trick me and come back to blackmail me?"
"Yes, the vegetable seller is right!" Someone interrupted in the middle.
"I was a little panicked at the time. After all, in fact, I really poured out a lot of water." The woman paused for a moment, and everyone heard the sound of drinking water.
"Later, if this was the case, everyone had their own reasons. Didn't they freeze up? Could it be that another person named Cheng came out halfway?" It was the same voice that interrupted just now.
