Snack Street Tycoon

Fan Yu was sent out to chop firewood the next morning.He walked out the door of this brothel and walked northward. The street he walked was called Daqi Street, one of the main streets in Yunu City. Naturally, it was a lively place full of colorful flowers. There were also steamer drawers along the street, he glanced at them, and when the street peddler opened the drawer, rolls of white-hot mist hit the peddler's face, and he found that what was sold there was still what he usually ate. That kind of steamed buns just look fresh and good-looking, and they look better.After a tray of steaming was finished, many people went up to buy it, but the people who bought it might not be dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they all looked like grown-up children. The place where they worked did not include food and lodging, so they were paid wages. In the end, I can only come to such an extremely cheap place to buy this kind of bun.

The places where they work may just want to save the trouble of arranging food and accommodation for these people, and choose to send some money every month to let them arrange it by themselves, or rent a house for ten or so people, or choose to live in the street on a daily basis. Go buy something to eat.The money given is usually very little, so although these people seem to be able to choose where they live and what to eat, there is actually no room for them to choose—in fact, they have only one choice, which is to choose cheapest.They can only choose the cheapest crowded place to live in, and they can only choose the cheapest food to satisfy their hunger.Naturally, there is no surplus at the end of each month.

This Daqi Street is so long, Fan Yu felt that it took him three quarters of an hour to reach the end and exit the city gate, and the section from his brothel to the city gate was only a section of the entire Daqi Street. I don't know how much work it will take to walk down the whole road.He also only estimated that this time should be three quarters of an hour, and whether one hour in this place is really the same length as the one hour he knew before, he also does not know, although it feels like, that time is the same. similar.

After he left the city gate this time, he still climbed up the mountain road in his memory.After reaching the top of the mountain, he passed the iron chain slab bridge that spanned to the top of the cliff on the other side, and he looked for a place with many dead branches to chop firewood.I don't know if he overestimated the endurance of his current body or underestimated the weather like today.Today's day, the sun is really scorching, scorching the whole Yunu City and the hills outside the city, unlike yesterday, the sky was overcast yesterday, although it was a little stuffy because of the overcast, but there was enough water in the end , and there is also a gentle wind, but today it seems that it can accelerate the depletion of water and energy in a person's body.

Fan Yu slashed and slashed, and then passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a room.There was no sound and no one in the room.He listened for a while with his ears upright, and then he heard rustling noises coming from outside the house, and then the door opened, and it turned out to be a mother-in-law.Holding a bowl in her hand, the mother-in-law came to the bed and sat down, and asked, "Where do you work in the city? Didn't they give you enough to eat? Seeing how thin you are, I can carry you on your back." return."

After Fan Yu asked, he realized that he had fainted in the bushes on the other side, with two legs exposed. This mother-in-law was also doing a small business in the city, and she also sold the gray buns. After lunch, The mother-in-law came back pushing the cart.At Banqiao, I saw two legs on the left side, so I went over to take a look, and saw that a child had passed out, so I wanted to put it on the cart and push her back to her residence.But there is a little gap between each board on the board bridge, just pushing the cart over it is a bit bumpy and unstable, and there are sundries such as cages on it, so naturally there is no way to move people. Then stack it up.The mother-in-law had to push the car back home first, and then turned back. When she picked up the child, she was so light, so the mother-in-law carried him across the Banqiao and went home.

Fan Yu told his mother-in-law the name of the brothel where he works now, and the mother-in-law said that she sold that kind of steamed buns nearby, and she came back from selling steamed buns every day from morning to noon, and said that she was old and could sell a whole bun in the past. God.

Fan Yu drank the bowl of food that the mother-in-law handed him, and then ate half of the gray bun.He felt that it was the same steamed bun, but the one made by this mother-in-law was much more delicious, and the taste was closer to the white-haired steamed bun he ate before. More importantly, this time the food was hot.The bowl of porridge-like stuff was half sticky with peeled buckwheat kernels and boiled in water, but you could still vaguely tell that it was something like buckwheat kernels, because some of them were gray-green, gray-green, and some The unboiled grains are triangular in shape.

He chatted with the mother-in-law for a while, and suddenly realized that it was already past noon, and he had to go back to the brothel to pay firewood every day before noon, but he was chatting here for a long time, afraid that he would be beaten when he went back that's it.So he silently ate the remaining half of the gray bun. Originally, his body was thin and he couldn't eat much in one meal, but when he thought that the beating might be unavoidable when he returned later, he just ate it. I had no choice but to eat the half that I couldn't eat originally, so as not to be knocked out for a while.

After he finished eating, he thanked his mother-in-law, thinking that in the future he would not know how to repay her for saving him and giving him food. He couldn't help but feel ashamed like the steamed bun he gnawed on earlier.

The mother-in-law seemed to see his embarrassment, and also seemed to know that he would be punished after returning home. Even though she didn't know the severity of the punishment, she was a little helpless, and even hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to keep him, but she didn't know how to keep him. .Seeing that he had already reached the door of the room, he had no choice but to send him out, and told him to be careful when going down the mountain. He also put a lot of firewood piled in his other room into his bamboo basket, and piled it full. Yes, let him be careful to make up something to deal with when he goes back.

Fan Yu carried the firewood on his back and walked down the mountain as quickly as possible, and then returned to his brothel as quickly as possible. When he went to the firewood room to pay the firewood, he was really timid and didn't dare to go in at first. , but thinking about what he had to face, he pretended to be powerless after rushing all the way without food and said: "I passed out for a long time because of the sun on the mountain and I worked hard to chop firewood. Then when I woke up, I saw that the sun was no longer in the middle, so I immediately carried the basket on my back and rushed back.” Seeing that there was indeed a lot of firewood in the basket, the manager over there temporarily dispelled the guilt of punishing him severely for delaying the time. Punish him not to eat lunch.The person in charge didn't know that he had already eaten elsewhere.Since Fan Yu had already eaten his lunch, he didn't care about such a punishment. In the afternoon, he grinded the millet as usual, but at a slower pace. He was occasionally stared at by the manager, as if he hadn't eaten at noon. That look of powerlessness.

The next morning, Fan Yu went to chop firewood as usual.This kind of work is usually assigned to people who look like him, like Zu Xin, who is usually assigned to serve tea and water in a brothel, which is much easier.When he was chopping firewood that day, he knew that the mother-in-law was probably selling gray buns in Yunu City, so she must not be at home, so he didn't come to look for her.Today he chops and gathers firewood very fast, maybe after yesterday's exposure to the sun, there are many dead branches on this mountain today, just picking up casually is enough, and even chopping is easier than a few days ago .

After he finished cutting, he didn't know what to do staying on this mountain, so he walked towards Banqiao, wanting to look around at the top of the mountain.He saw that the mother-in-law's house was connected in two rooms yesterday. It is estimated that one side is a place for cooking and cooking, and the other is a place for sleeping, but now the door is locked.And there is another one that is the same as the front after a certain distance from the whole connected one-story house. I don’t know if it belongs to my mother-in-law, or if it is the neighbor of my mother-in-law. It’s just that there seems to be no movement inside.He followed and walked into the forest. After passing through the forest, he found a lot of the buckwheat he ate yesterday on the mountainside on that side.He came closer and saw that some buckwheat grains had been harvested, but some hadn't been harvested yet. After the season, the ears fell off and fell to the ground, while some were dried on the original ears and looked like they would never fall.He was wondering if the mother-in-law collected it all by herself, if so, then she must have collected it alone in the afternoon when she didn't have to go to the city to sell the gray buns.

After he wandered around a few more times, he didn't pick any edible millet to go back. He thought that if he picked it back, he couldn't get it to eat, so he might as well not pick it.He walked back in against the shimmering sun, trying to get back before noon.When he arrived, it was just in time, and he didn't miss the time. After he handed in the firewood, he waited for lunch as usual.At lunch that day, he caught a glimpse of Zu Xin's face, which was also not in a good mood, as if he had been bothered by something. He also knew what kind of thing Zu Xin was bothered about. It should be because of his mother who was here last time. Tell him that.

In the afternoon, Fan Yu grinds the millet, and in the evening, he takes a shower before going to bed.

The next morning, when he was about to go out to cut firewood with a backpack on his back, he was stopped by the supervisor in the lobby, saying that a person on duty in the lobby had a stomachache early this morning and couldn’t go to work, so he had to He tops.He didn't think there was anything wrong, and if he asked him to push him, he would push him, and it was not a big deal.The person in charge immediately sent someone to buy firewood in the south of the city, and then arranged for Fan Yu to do some things that should be done in the lobby. He told him that first he had to plaster the flower shelves and flower pots, and then after the guests came, he had to give everyone Add tea and water to the table.Fan Yu made a note of it, thinking that living a day like this would save much effort than going up the mountain to cut firewood in the morning and coming back to grind millet in the backyard in the afternoon.

He did everything he had been told to do.About two hours have passed, and he saw that the scale on the timer like a dripping pot in the hall was on "nine o'clock", so it must be nine o'clock in the morning.After a while, the stewards in the hall were short of some helpers and the people opened the door, presumably to welcome guests.

At this time, the girls on the second and third floors had also washed and dressed, and they came out in gorgeous dresses, looking like they were going to show off.These girls are probably between [-] and [-] tall, but they don't look weird when they wear those clothes that look like Tang suits and Song suits, because those clothes are not really the orthodox Tang suits and Song suits. It seems that the clothes are suitable for the figure and size of Chinese women.The upper part of some girls is like the tube top of Tang suit, the chest is opened low, and there is a trace of snow dried fruit, which is really eye-catching; higher.However, the lower half of their skirts are short skirts with a layer of silk on the inside and gauze on the outside, and even the two legs are faintly visible.Looking at these women with Fan Yu's current height is like looking at a female model, he has to look up with great effort.

For so many days in this brothel, he went out early to chop firewood, except for the ten days after he just "come" here, maybe because this body passed out before, and then he woke up again in this body Come here, the people here thought he had a serious illness, so they didn't send him out to the mountains to cut firewood during those days, but just let him grind millet in the backyard in the morning. After all, these people were bought with money. If you die, you will also lose a labor force.He had never seen the scene in the front lobby during the time when the brothel opened in the morning for so long before. He only caught a glimpse or two when he came back at noon and went around from the gate to the backyard gate. It is also impossible to walk through the hall with a basket of firewood on his back. How could his mother and the manager tolerate such a disregard for his dignity.Every time he passed by and caught a glimpse of the scene inside, he felt that it looked like a forest of wine and meat, and there was also a sense of magnification, because at his current height, he saw the taller women and taller men inside. , still flirting there, everything seemed to be overwhelmed in front of his eyes, and he himself seemed to come from Lilliputian.Based on his past height, he may be used to seeing the average height of these people. He used to be one to eighty five. In his own country, he often had to bow his head when looking at the people around him. Judging from the height of the past, these people in front of them may only feel that they have traveled to Denmark or a random country in Northern Europe.But now, it's really awkward.

After all, this brothel was the most popular in the city, so many people poured in as soon as the door opened in the early morning, and they were naturally male customers.Fan Yu was puzzled, he really couldn't figure out what he was doing in the brothel under such a poisonous day, and it wasn't night, so he came here to have fun.But after a while, after he poured tea and water for some tables, he seemed to understand that many people came here to discuss business or negotiate something.I think it’s because such a place can make a man relax—together with the relaxation of the mood is vigilance, so those who want to make a deal are willing to lead the other party to such a place, hoping to take advantage of this relaxed atmosphere and The company of those seductive women made things go smoothly.

Originally, there shouldn't be any major events this morning, but for Fan Yu, it's just a different place to work.How did he know that in this hall, he was always caught glimpses of things that he couldn't see past.In the corner of the southeast corner, there is a slightly fat-headed customer who always asks for tea and water. Naturally, Fan Yu is not dealing with that table. It is Zu Xin who refills tea and water at that table. The customer asked for tea and water, and always asked for more. After the refills, he would touch people's hands and pinch people's faces. He was not a good person at first sight.

However, the people here seem to be used to seeing it. Presumably, the people here are around the age of getting married at fourteen or five. Thirteen is not much different in age, so there is nothing wrong with it.But it was Fan Yu who always looked disgusted, and spat in his heart: Fuck, pervert!There are pedophiles!

After Zu Xin was treated like this three or four times, Fan Yu happened to come out with another water choke. Seeing the scene, he approached their table and told Zu Xin that the steward in the backyard was looking for him. .When Zu Xin heard this, he took the opportunity to break away from the man and walked towards the backyard.The person at the table knew that the kid was looking for someone in the backyard, so it was a legitimate reason, and it was inconvenient to drag him, but there was always an annoyed look on his face, and the annoyance was faintly visible, and he just bowed his head. not talking.After a while, he turned his head and said something to the other man at the same table, maybe it was something they wanted to talk about seriously when they came to this brothel.

Fan Yu also ignored this, and just walked towards the tables where he was in charge of refilling tea.

After Zu Xin walked to the backyard, he only asked the manager if he was looking for him.The manager in the backyard said no, and asked what was going on.Zu Xin knew in his heart that maybe his roommate used this name to help him get rid of that annoying man. Naturally, he couldn't say who said that, and he was a more scheming one among them. , not to be so stupid as that, so I just told the manager, no, he was distracted by the noise in the hall before.

The steward didn't pay much attention to this matter anymore, and continued to deal with his daily affairs.

When Zu Xin returned to the hall, of course he would have to be harassed by the guests at that table.Zu Xin's appearance is indeed Zhou Zheng's, and he has more appearance than those girls with flat heads and straight faces. A few days ago, his mother here mentioned that to him. After being noticed by some customers, she naturally thought of letting him go this way in the future, so she should not worry about not having customers to support her.

Seeing this, Fan Yu filled his water bottle with hot water from the backyard, and when he came out, he went over to tell Zu Xin that the person in charge in the backyard was looking for him.Zu Xin understood what Fan Yu meant this time, so he complied and followed him back to the backyard.However, this time he didn't ask the steward in the backyard what he wanted from him.

After going back and forth like this for a few times, the guests at this table finally couldn't hold back their anger, and asked the person in charge in the lobby to find the person in charge of the backyard here, and asked what was the matter. The little worker who served the tea table kept running to the backyard.Fan Yu happened to see this scene, and he shouted in his heart that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of any way to resolve it for a while, so he could only sullenly add water to the tables he was in charge of.Before seeing the steward in the lobby nodding and bowing to the other table guests, Fan Yu's heart suddenly jumped, and he hadn't seen the steward in the lobby treat the guests in that way all morning. The guests must have a background, so that the lobby steward, who only sees the rich and noble in his eyes, has such a humble attitude.

When the manager of the backyard came, he said that there was no such thing, and he never asked the little worker to go to the backyard.The man at the table glanced over to Fan Yu's side, and only said to the manager in the lobby: "It's him, he keeps telling this one to go to the backyard, presumably he's playing tricks there, and disturbing me for a drink." Up to now, it's not interesting at all, and I'm in a panic. What do you think should I do?" Then he turned to the other man at the same table and said, "Xiahou, I don't have the time to talk to you today. I might as well next time Let's talk."

The steward in the lobby has been keeping his eyes on Fan Yu since the fat man told the truth before, and after hearing what he said to his tablemate named Xia Hou, he got up and wanted to leave He quickly calmed him down, called some guards and thugs who were guarding the flower shelf in the corner, and asked Fan Yu to be carried to the gate and punished according to the rules. After thinking about it, it was wrong, it shouldn't be As usual, it should be punished severely.

Fan Yu knew that he had nowhere to escape, so he could only wait for the coming beating.
