This female barber is very skilled

Chapter 22

Tang Qing looked outside the gate and found that the person calling her was a little girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender body, a beautiful appearance, a student head, and a plaid dress.

"Master Jiujin, my grandfather asked me to invite you."

"Please me? Who is your grandfather?"

"My grandfather is Carpenter Wang."

"Oh, Master Wang's granddaughter, isn't he living in the hospital?"

"My grandpa is home. My grandpa is dying. He asked me to come over and invite you to go."

"Ah?! Wait a moment, I'll come right out!"

Tang Qing turned back, saw that his son had fallen asleep, and said softly to his father-in-law and mother-in-law:
"Father, Grandma, Wang Banxian is dying soon, Carpenter Wang asked me to come over."

"It must be telling you to shave your vagina."

"Maybe, Dad, can you use your shaving box for me? It's too troublesome for me to go back to the store to get it."

"No problem, just pay attention and be careful."

The father-in-law took out his shaving box and handed it to Tang Qing. After he retired, he has been shaving the neighbors' heads in the old stage gate without charging money.

"Qing, this Wang Banxian and Wang Carpenter are doing well, but Wang Carpenter's wife and daughter-in-law are not cheap lamps. You must be careful, and leave as soon as you shave."

The mother-in-law was worried, and told Tang Qing.

"Abba, Aunt, I know, you guys go to bed early, I'm going."

Tang Qing picked up his father-in-law's shaving box and went to Carpenter Wang's house.

"Master Jiujin, you're going in the wrong direction. My grandpa lives in Thousand Pit."

The little girl reminded Tang Qing.

"Your grandfather still lives in the Thousand Pit?"

"Ah."

The little girl led the way, and Tang Qing followed.

Qianrenkeng is located in the east of Yancheng, which was originally a rural village on the outskirts of the city.

According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army fought with the Yuan soldiers here, and they were defeated. The Yuan soldiers slaughtered more than 1000 rebels and buried them all here, so it is called Qian Ren Pit.

Tang Qing remembered that Carpenter Wang's family had already lived in a newly developed high-end residential complex, which was still a big villa. Why did Wang Banxian still live in Thousand Pit?
"Master Jiujin, can I ask you a question?"

"sure."

"Why is it that you are a young woman and everyone calls you Master Jiujin?"

"You have to ask your grandfather about this."

"Ask my grandfather?"

"Yeah, hee hee."

Tang Qing laughed.

Thinking of Wang Banxian calling her "Master Jiujin" for the first time, and cutting off his long hair and shaving his head bald, it's really funny to think about it.

So many years have passed, whenever Tang Qing recalls the scene of that day, he always laughs out loud.

That was 14 years ago, 1985, this year is 1999, next year will be 2000, the millennium.

In the summer of that year, Tang Qing graduated from high school and spent the summer vacation waiting and suffering. In the end, the postman uncle still didn't deliver the university admission letter to her.

The college entrance examination at that time was completely different from what it is now. After passing the exam, you would first estimate your score and then fill in your volunteers.

You can imagine how difficult it is to fill out the application form when you don't know what your test score is.

Tang Qing estimated that his admission line could be reached, so he filled in three completely unrelated schools and majors in medicine, journalism, and normal education.

The scores came out, and it turned out that she was only one point short of the teacher admission line.

She locked herself in the room without eating or drinking and cried for two days, which frightened her parents.

Tang Qing is the only child in the family. The two elders were born at the age of 41, and they love her very much.

Dad was the manager of Yancheng People's Barbershop at that time, and he was a man of some status.Seeing his precious daughter like this, he sat at the door of the room and persuaded her for a whole day and night.

Tang Qing finally opened the door of the room, and after eating a bowl of chicken noodles that his mother cooked for her, he and his father went to the People's Barbershop to relax.

Let’s talk about chicken noodles first.

Chicken noodles are a major delicacy in Yancheng. They can be used as a staple food or as a snack. In the eyes of Yancheng people, they are no less than Wuhan people Yuregan noodles.

A chicken is an egg.Squeezed noodles, also known as dried rice noodles, are made from indica rice after steaming, pressing, and drying in the sun. It is generally in the shape of a round cake, somewhat similar to the popular instant noodles.

Boil the water, put the squeezed noodles and cook for a few minutes, then break the eggs into the pot, add other condiments you like, and serve a bowl of fragrant and delicious chicken squeezed noodles on the table to ensure your appetite.

Before the 90s of the twentieth century, ordinary people in Yancheng would not burn it for no reason. Only when family members celebrate birthdays, give birth to confinement children, or get sick, would they cook a bowl of chicken noodles as a token of appreciation. Consolation and nourishment.

After eating the bowl of chicken squeezed noodles cooked by his mother, Tang Qing's depressed mood improved a little. When he went to the People's Barber Shop, he offered to help his father mop the floor and wash towels.

Neighbors sitting on two long rows of wooden benches waiting for a haircut made jokes about Tang Qing from time to time, among which Wang Banxian was the most enthusiastic.

At that time, Wang Banxian was more than 80 years old, wearing a gray robe all day long, with long hair coiled on the top of his head, and a long beard like Guan Gong.He always likes to tease Tang Qing, and always makes fun of her when he sees Tang Qing.This day is no exception, but instead of joking with Tang Qing directly, he first told Tang Qing's father with a smile:
"Manager Tang, count your fingers, your career should come to an end."

Manager Tang, Tang Qing's father, who was washing the customer's hair, frowned, feeling unhappy, and responded angrily:
"Wang Banxian, what are you talking about? I'm two years away from retirement!"

"Hey, Manager Tang, I guess you have to retire early."

"why?"

"Master Jiujin has been born, and she will take your place as the boss of the People's Barbershop."

"Master Jiujin? Did you drink too much old wine?"

"I haven't even touched a drop of alcohol today."

"You didn't drink today? It's rare!"

"I woke up early this morning and saw magpies making noise at the door. I knew that there must be a happy event in Yan City. A row of directions, this happy event will happen in the people's barber shop, so I didn't care about drinking the old wine, so I hurried over."

"Really? Then have you figured out what is going on in our People's Barbershop today?"

"Didn't I just say that? Master Jiujin is born, you abdicate!"

"Fuck you Wang Banxian, it's a happy event for me to abdicate? You want me to abdicate so much?"

"No, no, it's normal for you to abdicate without any other choice. Then the happy event will be the official birth of Master Jiujin!"

"I have no choice but to let the flowers fall. Is it normal? Let me tell you, there is no master Jiujin in our store. Why don't we play a piece of "Nine Jin Girl" on the record player."

"Jiujin Girl" is a traditional Yue opera. People in Shancheng love the main character Jiujin girl. She is smart and witty.

"Manager Tang, I think that Master Jiujin of your family will be better than Miss Jiujin a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times in the future, and it will be included in the drama sooner or later."

"Master Jiujin from my family?! Wang Banxian, why are you talking about my family Qingqing for a long time?"

"Manager Tang, how dare I ridicule Master Jiujin? It's too late for me to respect her!"

"Fuck you Wang Banxian, let's go, people are waiting to shave their heads, what's the point of you sitting here occupying the latrine and not shitting? If you want to talk about it under the big tree in Lushan Park, maybe you can earn an old wine shop!"

When Tang Qing heard that Wang Banxian was making fun of her, he went over with a mop in his hand and patted his thin back.

"Hey, Master Jiujin is beating someone. It doesn't matter if this rotten tree is broken. The key is that Master Jiujin went inside to eat steamed buns before he was enthroned. It's a big disadvantage!"

People in Yancheng jokingly say that going to prison is eating light steamed buns inside.

"You're still talking nonsense, let's see how I deal with you!"

Tang Qing threw away the mop in his hand, and went over to bring a pair of large scissors.

"Hey, master Jiujin is merciful, merciful!"

Wang Banxian held his head in his hands and curled up into a ball.
