Volume 1 Chapter 9 The Journey Again(2/2)
Can't find it either."
The two exchanged glances and squatted down at the same time.
Kou Zhong said, "That's a pity. Such a big shop has closed. If you hadn't hired us as helpers and become your disciples at the same time, then your unique skills, Mr. Zhang, would not have been lost. At most, we would accept them."
If so, I'll give you two hundred and five baht per month,"
Lao Zhang was shocked. After looking at the two of them up and down for a while, he asked curiously: "Who are you?"
After Kou Zhong made some nonsense, Lao Zhang asked, "Do the two of them have a total of twenty strings of money?"
Ten coins per string, twenty strings equals two hundred coins, which is a very meager salary for one person, and only two hundred coins for two people is even more unkind. No wonder Lao Zhang even forced his son to leave.
.
Kou Zhong just wanted to learn his rice-making skills so that he could make a living in the future. However, he was also very good at counting, so he said without even thinking, "Then I have to provide food and shelter."
Lao Zhang narrowed his eyes and said with a weird voice: "Food and lodging are included, but all the cleaning and chores will be handled by you two."
Kou Zhong said with a smile, "Deal! We are very hungry now, so this meal is naturally worthy of Boss Zhang."
That's it, the two of them moved into the room occupied by his son above Lao Zhang's restaurant. They got up and worked before dawn every day. After lunch, when Lao Zhang took a nap at the Guanpu, the two of them were responsible for buying and picking up goods.
After closing the door, Lao Zhang took a bath and went to bed, while they washed the dishes and cleaned. They were very busy. Not to mention going to the brothel to consecrate the house, they didn't even have enough time to sleep.
However, Lao Zhang's rice-making skills are indeed real, and he is well-known in the local area, and all the business travelers passing by are happy to patronize him.
The restaurant only sells three kinds of rice, which are the "Tuanyou rice", "Qingfeng rice" and "Yujing rice" mentioned by Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang does not stop there.
After having Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, he also received some business from time to time.
Since the two had the intention to steal from their master, and because Lao Zhang was old and weak, they increasingly relied on them, so they passed on his cooking skills to them bit by bit.
After three months, they were confident and thought they could flex their muscles. But on the other hand, they gradually became tired of this industry.
This makes them hesitant and unable to make up their mind to leave for a while, because they are afraid that leaving Lao Zhang behind will make him unbearable.
After the two closed the shop that night, they took advantage of Lao Zhang's arrival upstairs to discuss it.
Kou Zhong said: "Have we decided not to go to the rebels or become martial arts masters?"
Xu Ziling stretched out in his chair and sighed: "It seems that such a busy life with no leisure time is so interesting."
Kou Zhong said: "If this is the case, we will stay here for three more months. After the New Year and the Spring Equinox, we will leave when the weather turns warm."
Xu Ziling said distressedly: "But I'm a little reluctant to part with it,"
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a little reluctant to let go, but I have an idea. The so-called man has his ambitions in all directions. Why don't we join the Song family in Hunan? Song Lu is very good to us. If we can worship him as our teacher, we
Maybe we can actually realize our dream."
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "If I can master martial arts, I will be the first to kill Yu Wenhua and that traitor."
Xu Ziling said sadly: "I dreamed about my mother again last night. She blamed me for not having ambition and not daring to avenge her."
Kou Zhong took a long breath and said decisively: "We are too timid. We can't be considered men. If we can't fight, we will die at most. These days, we are afraid of the hard work of practicing, and we are also afraid that we will go astray. We dare not continue. How can this be possible?
I'm sorry, mother. I've decided to change my ways and practice martial arts again starting from tomorrow. I will never give up until I kill Yu Wenhuaji."
An unprecedented sparkle suddenly flashed in Xu Ziling's eyes. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with him and said, "You have made this decision, and I feel comfortable all over. When we were in Yangzhou, our ambitions were as high as the sky, how could we suddenly turn into shrinking turtles?"
What? How about leaving tomorrow."
Kou Zhongqi asked: "Why did your eyes suddenly light up just now, just like my mother's eyes before she was alive?"
Xu Ziling was stunned for a while and then said in deep thought: "To be honest, although I didn't practice Kung Fu on purpose, every time I lay down at night, the diagram of how to move Qigong and Qi would appear in my mind, and I would start practicing Kung Fu automatically."
Kou Zhong regretted and said, "If I had only known that I could practice as diligently as you, it would have been better. I can't be idle anymore. Okay! Let's hit the road immediately tomorrow."
Xu Ziling pondered: "Then who is going to tell Lao Zhang?"
