Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 31 Human World (Wish)
Cai Quanwu's home is also very simple, basically just a few old pieces of furniture plus a kettle, porcelain basins and the like.

"You can sit down wherever you want, and I'll cook." After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he cut a cabbage with a quick "哐哐哐", added a little more lard, and added the braised pork Xu Deyong bought.

Halfway through cooking, I took out the treasured vermicelli from the cupboard and put it in. I put the mixed noodle steamed buns that I had steamed yesterday on the pot and heated them together.

Xu Deyong sat on the bench and said: "Brother Quanwu, you make a lot of money this day and you have a house. Don't you want to find a wife?"

Cai Quanwu said: "I don't dare to think about it. I'm just a loser. I don't have a formal job and I look average. Who would want to marry me."

Xu Deyong said: "That's wrong. You can't just look at the appearance but also the inside. You are a talented person with a bright mind and a clear vision. Whoever wants to marry you in the future, just wait and enjoy the blessings."

Cai Quanwu's cooking hand paused for a moment before saying, "You raise the bar."

After the meal was ready, the two of them sat down to eat. They were both big-bellied people. The ten mixed noodle buns were wiped out by the two of them, and the dishes were also swept away.

"Uh."

After taking a sip of hot water, Xu Deyong burped and said, "It's comfortable. Brother Quanwu is good at his craftsmanship."

Cai Quanwu showed a smile on his face and said: "The home-cooked food is still the stewed braised food you brought to add flavor, as long as you don't mind it."

It was too cold to fall asleep during the afternoon nap, so the two drank water and chatted to rest. As for the tea, Cai Quanwu reluctantly bought it.

After almost resting, the two got up and went out.

I met a person at the door. When they met, they just nodded slightly as a greeting and left.

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly, Ma Liansheng was the purchaser and chef after the joint venture of Xu Huizhen Bistro Company.

This person is neither good nor bad, and has the selfishness of a normal person. In the original drama, he was the one who exposed Cai Quanwu and Xu Hui's "intimate relationship". After all, he is very close to Cai Quanwu, so he will naturally know whether they have returned home or not.

The thought flashed past, and Xu Deyong didn't think about it any more. After all, that was something to talk about later.

In the afternoon, we unloaded a few more trucks of rice, flour, grains and oil. After finishing the work, a group of people were breathing heavily with heat rising from their heads in the winter. Even Cai Quanwu was no exception, but he was not so embarrassed.

Only Xu Deyong was sweating a little, his face was rosy and he looked energetic.

Everyone was filled with admiration when they saw this, and had a new understanding of Xu Deyong's strength.

This guy is a bit too strong, so how powerful is his "tank lifting" technique?

Liu Dezhu couldn't help but have another thought. He quietly approached Xu Deyong and whispered: "Master Yong, do you think you will accept apprentices? I am good at serving tea and water, running errands and waiting on others."

Xu Deyong said: "I took a look and saw that your qualifications are not good, so you should stop thinking about it."

Liu Dezhu felt disappointed and sighed: "It's a pity that I have a strong heart. Forget it, let's go with the wind!"

Xu Deyong couldn't help but feel happy. This guy was quite interesting when he didn't interrupt.

After paying wages, Xu Deyong earned another [-] cents, this time surpassing Cai Quanwu, the only one with [-] cents.

Including the [-] cents at noon, I earned a total of [-] cents. This day's salary is quite high nowadays.

It was only about four o'clock, and everyone said goodbye to the chubby director Ma of the grain store, and went to the tavern in twos and threes to have a drink.

Those whose families are in financial difficulty go home directly, even spending two taels of wine money. After all, there are still several mouths to eat at home, and they would like to break a penny in half and spend it.

Things in this world are as good as the mood, and those who are most afraid of embarrassment!
"Brother Niu Fen, let's go and have a drink together?" Xu Deyong greeted with a smile.

Niu Fen shook his head and said, "No, my children will have New Year's Day holiday tomorrow. We agreed to take them out to go shopping and buy some things. We have to keep the money close to them first."

Xu Deyong gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure, you are a man. I'll see you later."

"See you."

Liu Dezhu also left, and he and Cai Quanwu were left at the door.

Cai Quanwu suggested: "It's still early, Qiangzi should still be pedaling three wheels, how about you go to pedal too?"

Xu Deyong stretched and said, "No, I can never make enough money. I'm sweating, and I haven't showered for some days. I feel like my body is going bad."

"Let's go, brothers, let's go take a bath in the bathhouse. Tomorrow is the New Year, so we should also be clean to welcome it!"

Cai Quanwu refused: "I won't go, you can go."

Xu Deyong said: "Can't bear to part with those two cents?"

"You're right, I'm not that precious. I can just boil some hot water at home and rub it. You can go ahead." Cai Quanwu said frankly.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I think you are changing the arrangement of me!"

Cai Quanwu said: "How can you? Although you are also a tricycle rider, you are different from Hadron. You can tell that you are knowledgeable."

Xu Deyong said: "Yes, you are quite smooth when you say nice things. You will say the same thing when you see a girl in the future. You are worried about not being able to find a wife."

Cai Quanwu lowered his head and clasped his fingers and said, "That's different."

Xu Deyong didn't force himself, took out the key and handed it to him and said: "I'm going to take a shower. It will take more than an hour. If you feel strong enough, go pedal for a while." Cai Quanwu looked up at him for a moment and said: "Okay, anyway. I am also idle, and I will make some income no matter how many customers I attract, I will share half of the money I earn with you."

Xu Deyong did not refuse, he raised two fingers and said: "More, two achievements are enough."

Cai Quanwu said: "Then it's [-]%. That's the same number when I ride the Qiangzi Tricycle."

"I'll listen to you. I'll go to the bathhouse in the alley over there. I'll be back in about an hour," Xu Deyong said.

"You go ahead, I'll just hang around nearby and won't go far." Cai Quanwu said.

Xu Deyong waved his hand and walked for about 10 minutes to the bathhouse.

There is a saying: "The golden rooster is not singing and the soup is hot before it sings; the red sun rises in the east and the hall is full of guests." This refers to the heat of the bathhouse.

Open the thick curtain and go in. The ticket for bathing is [-] cents, and other charges are extra. It's not cheap.

Some famous bathhouses such as Shuangxingtang, Qinghua Garden, Yuhua Garden, and Xinyuan cost [-] cents.

The bathhouse doesn't care about time. As long as you're not afraid of losing your skin after soaking in it, you can even soak in it for a whole day.

Xu Deyong took the cards in his hand, stepped on the "pull board", passed through the warm and hot pools, and lay down next to the large pool with white tiles on the ground. It was really comfortable.

The people around him looked at Xu Deyong, then looked down at themselves, and silently stayed away from this guy.

Everyone is weighing half a pound, but you are weighing one pound. Isn’t that a messy mentality?

Xu Deyong didn't have this consciousness at all, so he spent another five cents to give him a bath.

The bath master glanced at Xu Deyong's swaying lump and said, "Okay, young man, I have some money."

Xu Deyong politely cupped his hands and said, "You are so generous, but it is a pity that Zilong has not yet met the Ming Master, and has not yet had time to show off his power."

"Hey, you're quite interesting. Just look at your looks and figure, and you're still worried about them not being used?"

The bath master was talking and laughing, but the work under his hands was not loose at all, and he rubbed Xu Deyong thoroughly, like a boiled red prawn.

Xu Deyong stood up, thanked him, and rushed. When he arrived at the guest shop, it was even more lively. People were drinking tea, playing chess, chatting, and some were getting pedicures, scraping, and walking. If they were tired, they could still take a nap. Sleep.

Even a haircut is available, and it’s not cheap, only [-] cents.

Xu Deyong simply let him tidy up and pushed back his short hair.

By the time he packed up and dressed neatly and came out, the sky had begun to darken.

Cai Quanwu was already waiting aside. When he saw him coming out, he forced a smile on his face and said, "You look more energetic now. If you wear a tunic suit...hey, that would be great."

This guy has a bit of an inferiority complex in terms of looks.

Xu Deyong stopped his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, when I find a wife, I will definitely introduce you to her. I will take care of finding a sister-in-law."

"Hey, thank you in advance." Cai Quanwu said in a playful manner.

Then he took out the money and said: "I made two short-term customers and earned [-] cents. Three cents is eight cents and one cent."

Xu Deyong waved his hand and said "heroically": "I've bought the food and drinks."

Cai Quanwu didn't give in, and accepted: "It's up to you."

The two went to the tavern, where Qiangzi was waiting for Cai Quanwu at the same place with a pair of bull's eyes.

When he saw others, he greeted him: "Quan Wu, are you going to practice?"

Cai Quanwu said: "I won't practice today. We agreed to invite Brother Deyong to drink. Let's go together."

"Drinking." Qiangzi said with a smile.

Xu Deyong introduced himself: "My name is Xu Deyong, you can call me Deyong. We are traveling together. I am also a tricycle rider."

"Just call me Qiangzi and take good care of me in the future."

The three of them entered the tavern together, each ordered two taels of wine, and a plate of pickles and peanuts.

Take a sip of soju, eat some pickles and peanuts, and talk about the important events of the country and the country, strange things, and the color of the alley.

Cai Quanwu didn't talk much, but he seemed to relax.

Xu Deyong drank slowly, chiming in a few words from time to time, and listened to the discussions at other tables.

The night was dim and yellow.

At this time, the mood is at this time, listening to the world in the tavern!
