Chapter 692: Selling Fried Rice on a Ship
Sun Shan watched the show at the door for the entire afternoon but was unable to see the final outcome.
At first, two men were arguing, then several men were arguing, and finally more and more men were watching.
Everyone looked up for a long time, but no one could figure out what to do next.
Of course, no one gave the woman money to bury her father.
Sun Shan was really fed up with watching this, and said to Brother Kong next to him, "Brother Kong, it's no good for them to keep quarreling here. Why doesn't anyone come out to buy a coffin for the woman to bury her old father?"
Everyone watched the show for half a day, but no one gave any tips. This is not right.
I remember when he performed the erhu at the Bajingtai talent show in Ganzhou, after the song was over, the audience threw a lot of coins at him.
Among them, a wealthy man even gave a huge reward of 2 taels of silver.
This charming beauty is not as good as him.
Kong Yi looked around and whispered, "Brother Sun, I'm telling you the truth. This woman, tsk tsk, is obviously a liar. The people have sharp eyes and can see through this woman's tricks, so they won't give her money.
As for those who were arguing, I think they were just arguing and had no intention of helping the girl. Humph, Brother Sun, think about it, a girl of this age, she is not fourteen or fifteen years old, she is either married or has a fiancé, how can she be allowed to drag her old father's body on the street to ask for help.
It was not normal at first glance. Even if she really lacked money to bury her father, she could still deposit the body in a charity cemetery and then find a job.
Brother Sun, our Texas is known as the "crossroads of the universe". Merchants from all over the country come in an endless stream, and the traffic is busy and you can find work at any dock.
Women can't lift or carry things, but she can at least help people change and wash clothes. If all else fails, she can use her beauty to find a wealthy family to help bury her father. "
With an expression that said, "Brother Sun, we just need to take a look. We should not do anything else. There may be women around watching us."
Sun Shan's eyes lit up. Kong Yi was thinking exactly what he was thinking.
I believe that many of the spectators thought so too, so everyone watched the show quietly.
Those who were arguing were just bored and were just bickering with each other.
Sun Shan nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, Brother Kong. I am from another place and seldom go out. This is the first time I have seen such a scene. Thank you for your reminder today. I must be more careful in the future."
Kong Yi looked at Sun Shan arrogantly, with an expression that said "trust me and you'll be right", which made Sun Shan laugh.
After watching for a long time, the innkeeper finally called the police, saying that it was unlucky for the woman to leave the body at the door of the inn, which would affect business and even the appearance of the city.
Some government officials came and took the woman away, and were about to take the men who were making the noise away as well.
Seeing this, the man ran away immediately.
Although I knew I could get out safely after being taken back to the government office, I had to pay some money to get out.
Faced with this situation, people in society would have fled quickly.
Sun Shan saw that the woman was unwilling to go with the government officials, but how could the government officials just do whatever he wanted? Why didn't he go?
Don't blame me for being rude.
The woman had no choice but to follow the bailiff in shame. The body lying on the ground was also picked up by the bailiff and taken away.
Sun Shan couldn't help but sigh that the old man couldn't even rest in peace after his death and was being dragged around.
What an unfilial descendant! It would be better to burn him to death.
Kong Yi clicked his tongue and said with a lingering feeling: "It's over so soon? I wonder what will happen to the woman?"
Sun Shan looked at Kong Yi speechlessly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Kong, it's getting dark. I'll go back to the inn first. We can talk again when we have time."
Kong Yi looked at the sky and found that it was getting dark just as Sun Shan had said.
He quickly exclaimed, “Oh no, I have an appointment with my best friend, oh no.
Then he said to Sun Shan: "Brother Sun, let's meet in the capital. Remember to come find me."
After saying this, he ran away and disappeared in the crowd in a short while.
Gui Ge'er shook his head, his eyes swiveled around, and asked gossipingly, "Brother Shan, Mr. Kong is unreliable. He made an appointment with someone and even went to watch a play. Tsk tsk, it's really not okay to be his friend."
Sun Dingnan also smiled and said: "This Mr. Kong is really interesting, but he is kind-hearted and honest."
He told Sun Shan about the woman's trick so that he could avoid the trap. He gave a friendly reminder after just knowing her for a short time. He is a good person.
Sun Shan agreed and said, "Brother Kong is indeed great. I'll meet you again when we get to the capital."
Kong Yi left his address in Beijing and said that if he couldn't find it, he could go to the Shandong Guild Hall.
If students from any place want to find acquaintances, they can go to the guild hall. Generally, students will come to the guild hall to gather with their fellow townsmen and deepen their fellow townsmen’s ties.
There was chicken soup for dinner again, and Sun Shan enjoyed it alone.
Sun Shan was amused, shook his head and said, "Gui Ge'er, there is so much chicken soup, I can't finish it all by myself."
Gui Ge'er said quickly, "Brother Shan, if you can't finish it, you can drink more tomorrow. This chicken soup I bought is made from old hens and golden jujubes. It tastes the best."
Of course, only his brother Shan deserves to drink such a delicious soup. Anyone else can forget about it.
Sun Shan didn't need to preach, he just pulled out his trump card: "Gui'er, the chicken soup is left overnight, I'm afraid it will go bad. If I drink it, I'll get sick, it won't be worth it. I've come here with great difficulty, and soon we'll be in the capital. I can't eat leftover food."
When Sun Shan said this, Gui Ge'er panicked and slapped his head.
He said regretfully, "Brother Shan, you are really thoughtful. Saving money is important, but your health is the most important thing. You are right. We cannot eat overnight meals. If I get sick, I will let down the people of Sunjia Village, my grandmother, my uncle and my aunt. Oh, I was confused."
So the big pot of chicken soup became a bargain for Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali.
Gui Ge'er's heart has been bleeding.
The next morning, the Chen family merchant ship continued to head north and soon arrived in Jingzhou. It had entered the area under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili and was getting closer and closer to the capital.
However, when they arrived here, more and more ships were heading north, filling the canal.
Manager Chen sighed and said, "I didn't expect the ships to be jammed so early this year. The closer we get to the capital, the more ships there are and the harder it is to get there. If it were a day's journey normally, it would probably take three days."
After hearing this, Gui Ge'er and others couldn't help but worry.
I was stuck halfway and couldn't get to the capital, which made me very anxious.
Sun Shan, on the other hand, was not surprised. Boat jams are equivalent to traffic jams, and are a common occurrence during every Chinese New Year and other festivals.
If it doesn't happen in a certain year, there will definitely be a major event that happens "once in a century".
There is a ship jam, don't worry, just wait patiently.
Sun Shan looked at Gui Ge'er who was busy cooking, and for a moment he wanted to ask Gui Ge'er to go out and set up a stall.
When there is a traffic jam, there are always many business-minded people selling instant noodles and fried rice on the roadside.
If I let Guigeer go out to sell fried noodles, would he make a small fortune? Selling instant noodles in traffic jams Every time I see a traffic jam at my doorstep, I always want to sell fried noodles.
