Chapter 19 Night

Even if there is a night market in Ningcheng at night, it is very quiet in places other than the night market. The cucumbers on the street chirping, mice will roam in the alleys, and the scared wild dogs will chase them. Along the way, I will not forget to use the chirping to remind passers-by to give way.

To the west of Ningcheng, there is a lake called Zimeng Lake. There is a reservoir near the lake called Dahushi Reservoir. To the south of Ningcheng, there is a forest called Shaliulin. There are some hermit masters here, but it is just a legend. Only those who appear to cut trees will be scared away by the jackals, tigers and leopards inside, and those hunters will not come here to hunt.

There is a desert three hundred miles north of Ningcheng, with wind and sand constantly. Three hundred miles away is the border fortress. The town where Leng Xiaobai grew up is a desolate place outside the border fortress. At night, the wind is even colder and colder.

There are barbecue sellers, pork and mutton outside Ningcheng, and temporary stalls are set up. It is time to rest at night. There is no need to go to Beijing to take the exam. Naturally, not many people will "light at 3rd and 5th updates". It is already pleasant to eat a barbecue kebab at this time. Schroatia and Fang Er still like it here more and can vaguely hear the neighing sound of horses outside the border. (Of course, it is the reason why they show off their literary talent. If you can hear it in the Three Hundred Miles, it is probably a border that will be broken.)

Leng Xiaobai didn't like to eat these things, but there was no oil in his stomach. When he came this time, it would be very harmful to his stomach. Even the things he brought back from Chunhua Tavern had never eaten any meat. Those things were eaten by Mr. Kou, who had such a greedy person.

Schrosser and Fang Yan have never lost anything. Even if they want to eat a lot in their hearts, they will chew it slowly. Fang Yan will not take care of those things, just like the second generation ancestor of a local rich man’s family, who is a prodigal son.

From the beginning of shouting to the end of being too busy, the barbecue stalls at night were doing well, low-alcohol wine unique to the north has always been indispensable, and the two young men of the boss were also busy, and the sweat on their foreheads kept dripping down. However, they did not complain, maybe the boss paid a higher salary, or they were the boss, a distant relative.

"Boss, do you lack people here? I want to be a guy here. What do you think?"

Leng Xiaobai walked to the stall and asked, but the answer he got was.

"When I finish my business today, I will talk about your business. There is nothing else. Don't hinder my business here."

Leng Xiaobai picked up the plate. Although he was a little thin, his seventeen-year-old strength did not grow out casually. He picked up a plate full of skewers, walked to the dining tables that were still waiting, gave them their skewers, and asked politely what else they needed.

The boss looked at Leng Xiaobai's actions and before he could say anything, someone came over and ordered a few strings. His hands started to get busy again. Instead, there was one more person to help, and the other two people would be much more relaxed. In the midst of their busy schedule, they could also take some time to take a break.

Schrosser and Fang Yan had almost eaten, and there were not so many people in front of the stall. Leng Xiaobai was called over by the boss. Perhaps it was discussing Leng Xiaobai's work here.

The boss here probably agreed to his work here from the relaxed feeling that Leng Xiaobai showed, but he didn't know what the conditions looked like?

On the way back, Fang Yan couldn't help asking.

"What did that boss say?"

Leng Xiaobai looked at the two people and said that these two people were their classmates and even their friends. What can we say about their friends?

"The boss asked me to stay. It's only the second day of the day. The wages are pretty good. Although they are less than them, there are five copper coins every day, which is enough for future life. If you want to eat, I can cook for you, provided that there is no meat-free meal."

Leng Xiaobai was also generous once, which can be said to be a rare time. When he couldn't even eat, not to mention cooking for others, even if he could eat a bite of hot, he would be a luxury.

"I will definitely taste your craft another day, but don't let us down."

Fang Yan joked, but he didn't expect Leng Xiaobai to take it seriously. He still didn't forget this until he finally separated, and he did.

"To be honest, there are two of us, and you still have to work there. That is, you have eaten better during this period. When you first came, you didn't seem to be older than the two of us. Who knew you were already seventeen years old."

Xue Hua said that he didn't understand what Leng Xiaobai was thinking. Those people wanted to sharpen their heads and wanted to get close to them. Most of them were Fang Yan's father, the richest man, and his father was the city lord. This is why people would know each other wherever they went. But they didn't expect that Leng Xiaobai, who was in the same dormitory as him, completely ignored his help.

"No need, my father once said that you can't rely on others' help when you go out. If you don't have the ability, the dean has helped me a lot. I have no difficulties, but I still thank you very much."

Leng Xiaobai said.

Bajie Barbecue, the name of the barbecue outside Ningcheng, can be opened until the third day of the year when there are many people. Leng Xiaobai has five copper coins a day, which is more than one hundred a month. Including the janitorials in the academy, there are more than two hundred, which is a lot of income. He has completely let go of the tuition.

Zhongwen Academy was not in the city, and they did not enter the city, so they went back to the academy directly. There was a rented house next to the academy, or foreign merchants, and students who did not live in the academy.

As the night wind drifted, a melodious sound of piano came from the other side of the wall, attracting the attention of three people, especially Schrosser and Fang Er, who were more sensitive to this aspect.

Because of her family, Xue Hua is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also involved. Fang Yan’s love for this is due to those beautiful women. Beautiful women will play a song, just like Chunhua Tavern and Yihongyuan will have singing presence, which is his event location.

"Whose piano sound is so moving, and there are orders in the ups and downs. I want to know this person. If he is a man, he must be a person as good as me. If he is a woman, he must be an ordinary woman."

Xue Hua looked like he was enjoying himself and was immersed in it.

Fang Yan thought of something, said.

"If I remember correctly, this should be Yanxia's yard. In order to make her study in the academy with peace of mind, the madam from Yihong Courtyard rented it for him."

Leng Xiaobai said it a little confused.

"It's almost three o'clock in the morning, and I'm still playing the piano. Are you not afraid of disturbing the people?"
