Chapter 18
Ge Dalong is an old man in Hanshan Town.
??Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, that means being proficient in everything but having no money at all.
Fortunately, his honest uncle and aunt are selling food on the pier with a stall. Because his uncle and aunt had been running a stall for a long time, they rented a very good location early, and the business has been booming. They had no children, so there was nothing they could do about their young, strong and generous nephew.
He goes there every day not only to eat and drink, but also to "help" collect some money from the guests.
Relying on this, he is living a good life.
Today he arrived at the pier as usual, but found that there were fewer people at his uncle's stall than usual.
He flipped the steamer over and took out a steamed bun, then sat down at the table and shouted, "Why are there so few people today? Uncle, give me a bowl of noodles."
Aunt Ge had long been dissatisfied with the way he was eating for free. She threw the things in her hands angrily and replied: "We can't even do business, and you still come here to beat the autumn wind all day long."
Uncle Ge gave her a hand, quickly poured out a bowl of noodle soup, brought it to Ge Dalong and said, "You finish the soup first, the noodles will be ready in a while."
Ge Dalong was shameless and did not blame her aunt for her attitude, "It is difficult to do business in this world, and my uncle and aunt are getting older, so why not turn this stall around and collect dozens of taels of silver to support yourself until old age."
Aunt Ge glared at him and became silent.
It is true that the couple are old and cannot do delicate work for too long. When business is good, the pancakes and steamed buns on the stall are often not enough to sell. Although they also hired people to help, at their age they couldn't lead apprentices hand in hand, so they could only hire people who already knew some skills. But not to mention the high wages for those who are skilled in crafts, how can they be willing to work for others all their lives? It didn't take long before he set up his own business.
And the couple¡¯s stall cannot be transferred!
Because they had a daughter back then, but she was abducted by a kidnapper when she was five or six years old.
My daughter had already remembered some things by that time and knew that her parents were setting up a stall at the best location on the pier.
If they move away, what if their daughter comes back?
And with a rogue like Ge Dalong here, if the stall is transferred, who knows whose pocket the transfer fee will fall on!
The couple only know how to cook some food. Although their skills are good, they are not so good that they can earn a living anywhere. It¡¯s hard to say what will happen to them without this stall.
Ge Dalong hululu took a sip of noodle soup, and then asked: "Uncle and aunt have been setting up a stall here for decades, why can't they make it?"
"It's not because a new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have arrived. Yesterday they were selling wontons, and today they are selling porridge and steamed buns. Everyone who has eaten is full of praise. One goes down and the other goes up, and our business is naturally affected."
Aunt Ge deliberately exaggerated.
Although the business was good for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, compared to the inconvenient stall at the back, it did not affect her family too much.
In fact, today¡¯s business is bleak mainly because there is a lot of work on the dock today. The coolie merchants are in a hurry, so most of them buy and take delicious food, and few sit down and eat noodles slowly.
So despite the fact that there are only a few people at their stall, the pancakes, steamed buns and other items are actually almost sold out.
She just wants to cry for poverty. It is best to prevent Ge Dalong, the god of plague, from coming to fight the autumn wind again!
As expected, Ge Dalong stopped working as soon as he heard this.
He is really anxious. He has regarded his uncle and aunt's stall as his own. Doesn't their less income mean that he earns less?
"Where are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who dare to steal the business of uncle and aunt, I will kill them right now!"
Uncle Ge quickly grabbed him and advised, "Don't you know the rules of this place? If you go to cause trouble, you will end up in the Yamen!"
Ge Dalong took his hand away nonchalantly, "I know everything uncle said, but it will take a quarter or two for people to come from the Yamen. Don't I have enough time to deal with them now?"
He is used to being a promiscuous person in the town, and he is more familiar with the situation when he is in the cell than when he is back home.
"However, the trouble he caused was not serious every time. He received ten blows every time and was released after being locked up for two or three days.
So he wasn¡¯t too afraid of being imprisoned, so he walked away without hesitation.
Uncle Ge was so worried that he stamped his feet. He turned around and saw that his old wife also had a sad look on her face and complained: "Now you know you are anxious? He is the only grandson in our old Ge family. If anything happens, I will be ashamed." Meet our parents!"
Aunt Ge indeed regrets it,"Ms. Wang looked at her with a serious face, "The catcher in front said that his family was setting up a stall on the pier. Could it be you. "
"It's my home." Aunt Ge became more and more embarrassed and explained: "But I just mentioned it. I didn't expect that he would actually come to trouble you."
"You" General Wang was about to scold her again, but Gu Yin pulled her back and said, "Mom, it was the official officer that this aunt went to invite just now."
At that time, everyone gathered to watch the excitement, and this tall and thin woman was among them. However, people were crowding forward, but she went against the current without even looking at her and turned around, and left in a hurry. Not long after, Capt. Li and the others arrived, and the woman came back with them.
"So that's it." Wang's face became kinder, "But it was you who caused this matter, so don't expect us to thank you!"
"No, no, no." Aunt Ge waved her hands repeatedly. She had never harmed anyone in her entire life. However, she was really pushed into a panic by Ge Dalong, so she said those words at that time.
Old Liu Tou next to him listened for a while and then helped: "That Ge Dalong is really not a thing. He is eating from his uncle and aunt, and he still comes out to cause trouble. You and your wife are the same. Don't you understand that good people can be bullied by others? What's the matter? Let him take advantage."
Why doesn¡¯t Aunt Ge understand this? Although her family has been separated from her uncle's family, she has had nowhere to go since her daughter was lost. In the future, the old couple will blame their nephew Ge Dalong and throw him into a pot to die. No matter how unwilling she is, the most she can do is complain like she did today.
Seeing the low table with a broken leg and a big hole in it, Aunt Ge felt even more regretful and guilty. Fortunately, this evil mother-in-law was a powerful one, otherwise she would have regretted it for the rest of her life if she had really caused trouble!
She asked tentatively: "My buns are almost sold out, yours should have some left, right? If you don't put them on our stall, I will help you sell them."
"Huh, you have some good intentions." Wang went downhill, took out the steamer with the buns still in it and gave it to her.
Aunt Ge held the steamed bun in her hands to show her innocence, and explained the situation to Uncle Ge. In order to make up for their faults, the two of them sold the steamed bun as their own.
Their stalls have a lot of customers and are sold out in a short time. And because Gu Yin's steamed buns are delicious, she even sells several more bowls of noodles just for the steamed buns.
"My dear, this little wife's buns are really amazing." Uncle Ge tasted the last one, counted out a few coins from his money box and put them into the pile of copper plates for Gu Yin, "Everyone can't praise you enough. Wrong, thanks to the good location of our stall and we don¡¯t sell porridge or steamed buns, otherwise we really can¡¯t do this business like hers!¡±
Aunt Ge was thinking about other things. Her stall was in a good location, but her goods were not sold enough. Their goods were good, but their stall was in a bad location. If the little daughter-in-law is allowed to store the buns at her house for sale, her family will be able to sell more, and she will share part of the profit, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?
