Li Muchen first came to Hecheng and had no place to stay, so he stayed at Mashan's home at night.
It is called home, but it is actually a basement, more than a dozen square meters, which is turbulent and stuffy, and the whole room smells moldy.
"Brother Shan, aren't you doing well in the bar? Why don't you live in a better place?" Li Muchen asked.
Ma Shan said: "Eat and sleep with a bed. Why is it so good to live in this way? I'm okay in a bar. Sister Na has been nice to me over the years and has paid more than a cent less. But I can't save money, I have many friends, and I have lost my salary after a few meals. "
Li Muchen knew that Ma Shan could do it, and he also felt that it didn't matter if the man was like this, but he felt a little sorry for Dingxiang.
Dingxiang lives next to Mashan, the same room, but there is an extra ventilation window, which is a little dry. Dingxiang is diligent and cleans up, and there is a fragrance in the room.
It was only then that Li Muchen learned that Dingxiang's parents had passed away.
When they were young, they were all in the same yard. Dingxiang's parents took good care of them and treated him like Mashan as their own children.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, all three of them became orphans.
"Did Dingxiang have the money to go to college?" Li Muchen asked.
Ma Shan said: "I saved 10,000 yuan, and Dingxiang can earn some money when working, which should be enough. "
"Didn't you just say that you can't save money?"
"Isn't this for Dingxiang? I originally wanted to save 50,000 so that the girl could go to school with peace of mind and no longer have to work. Alas, I'm also blamed me. I can't control it. It's time to chop it up!"
Ma Shan cursed himself hatefully.
Li Muchen thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a house nearby?"
"It depends on how big it is. It is more than 10,000 yuan per square meter. You can calculate it yourself. "Ma Shan said, "What, do you want to buy a house?""
Li Muchen said: "Yes, I want to buy a house. Let's live together and don't separate from each other in the future. "
Ma Shan Yigu got up from the bed, "Do you have money?"
Li Muchen shook his head: "No. "
Ma Shan smiled and said, "It's a big deal if you don't want to say it! We live together in Sanyi. Even if we have a room for two, we have to give Dingxiang a room, which is a two-bedroom apartment, which will cost at least 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. If it is a three-bedroom apartment, it will be more than one million. You want to eat nothing!"
Li Muchen asked: "Is there any way to make quick money?"
Ma Shan thought for a while and said, "If you don't break the law, you'll bet on stones and fight against black boxing."..."
Suddenly, he looked at Li Muchen and his eyes shone, "Yes, you have such good kung fu, you will definitely win when you box. "
"How much money can you make when boxing?"
"All I know is a small game, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars if you win. I heard that there are such big events, one for one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands. "
Li Muchen shook his head, and it was only tens of thousands of dollars in one game. It was boring to show up in public and be a boxer.
"What is gambling stones?"
"Betting on stones means betting on whether there is jade inside a stone. If the stone is not cut open, no one knows what it is inside. If you cut it with a crack, it will be green and lush, then it will be developed. If you produce good materials, you will make millions or tens of millions of dollars a piece of stone. "Mashan explained.
Li Muchen thought this was OK, so he said, "Then let's go bet on stones. "
Ma Shan said: "You have to have the capital to bet on stones. Where can we get the capital?"
Li Muchen said: "Don't you have ten thousand?""
"That's the money for Dingxiang to go to college!" Ma Shan shouted, "Don't be blind. "
"Don't worry, I learned jade from my master on the mountain. I will never let you lose money if you don't see a rabbit or a hawk. "
Ma Shan was a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to believe in his brother, "Okay, I just believe you. At worst, I can eat pickles every day in the future and save money for cloves. I will go to the gambling site tomorrow. "
Li Muchen nodded and suddenly asked again: "How about fighting dogs?"
Ma Shan was stunned and said, "Of course, you can get quick money when fighting dogs, just bets." However, the dog farm is dark, and if you are not familiar with it, you will be slaughtered if you go. Why are you asking this?"
Li Muchen said: "There is a broken factory next to the overpass in the south of the city. I heard it is a dog farm. There are many people you know, so go find someone to inquire. "
Ma Shan didn't know where Li Muchen came from, so he didn't ask much, saying, "Okay, I'll go and inquire. "
The two talked about the details for a while. Mashan has been in the society all year round and has some understanding of these industries. Through Mashan's introduction, Li Muchen gradually gained a foundation.
The next morning, Dingxiang came over and called the two of them up.
After breakfast, Mashan left, saying that he was going to find out the news. In addition, he had to go to the bar. After all, there was such a big disturbance yesterday and it hurt people. Although Uncle Ming must have settled the matter, Mashan felt that he still had to give Zhou Na an explanation.
Dingxiang took Li Muchen to the restaurant where she worked.
"Brother Mu Chen, I have agreed with our boss and ask you to help in the store. "
Li Muchen was stupid. This girl is still thinking about helping him find a job.
"Don't worry, our boss is so good, not fierce at all. Anyway, I'm going to go to college soon, and the store is short of people. "Dingliu chirped.
When Li Muchen saw Dingxiang was kind, he couldn't bear to refuse.
Think about it, if you have nothing to do now, just think that you have a place to settle down.
Wait until Mashan finds a place to gambling stones, earn some money, and then consider the next step.
The owner of the hotel is surnamed Wang, and he is fat and always has a smile on his face, like Maitreya Buddha.
Just as Dingxiang said, Boss Wang is a very nice person, just like his appearance, kind and friendly.
The boss's wife's surname is Mei, and everyone calls her Sister Mei, who is half-aged and charming. Among ordinary people, she is definitely considered beautiful.
Unlike Boss Wang, Sister Mei has a stingy personality, is bold and can relax, and occasionally flirts with customers.
But she is also quite kind inside. Except for being fierce to Boss Wang, she is very good to everyone else in the store.
Boss Wang usually works in the kitchen, and the boss's wife sits at the front desk. When she is not busy, the boss's wife will go out to do her nails or hair, and Boss Wang sits at the front desk.
When Li Muchen went to work on the first day, he followed Dingxiang to clean up the table. There was nothing else to do, so it was easy.
In the afternoon, the boss's wife went out to do her hair and specifically called Li Muchen: "Xiao Li, do you want to accompany Sister Mei to do some hair? The teacher Tony I know is so amazing. I asked him to help you make it handsome. "
As he said that, he still pinched Li Muchen's face.
Li Muchen's scalp was numb: "No, boss lady, I just came here and I still don't know how to do a lot of things, so I'm studying in the store. "
"OK, then you can study hard. "
The proprietress twisted her waist and left.
Li Muchen always felt that her waist would break.
In this way, he began his first day of service.
...
On this day, news that the Lin family was looking for a Taoist priest named Li soon spread in the upper circle of Hecheng.
The Tianxing Temple, which looks south of the city, is practicing breathing and breathing in the yard.
Suddenly a little Taoist priest ran over hurriedly.
"Master, Master...""
Zhang Daoyuan took the credit and asked, "What's the matter? I'm so panicked?"
"Master, there are rumors outside that the Lin family is looking for a Taoist priest named Li all over the world. "
"Is it related to us?"
"Logically speaking, when Taoist priests arrive in Hecheng, they will come to our Tianxing Temple to place orders. If you have any questions, they will say hello to you first. How could a Taoist priest named Li suddenly come to Hecheng? Just now, everyone from the Feng family, Cha family, and Zhao family called and asked the master if he knew where this Taoist priest Li came from. "
"No one appeared, but just a name, which actually alarmed the three major families in Hecheng. "Zhang Daoyuan shook his head.
The little Taoist priest said: "So, this Taoist priest Li is very powerful?"
Zhang Daoyuan laughed and said, "How come this Taoist Master Li is so powerful, it is obviously so powerful of the Lin family. "
"Then I want to reply to those families?" the little Taoist priest asked again.
Zhang Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "When I calculate it." "
As he said that, he calculated his fingers, suddenly frowned and said repeatedly: "Strange, strange." "
"Master, what's wrong?" asked the little Taoist priest curiously.
Zhang Daoyuan shook his head: "It's not surprising that he can't calculate the origin of this Taoist Li. He is a false person, but the Lin family..."
He looked northwest with a confused look in his eyes.
"The dark clouds covered the top, and it looked like there was a sign of decline, but there was another ray of dawn. Alas, I can't see through it, I can't see through it...."
...
