In the evening, Xiang Nan cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge and was about to finish it.
At this moment, someone outside the door shouted, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ning's house?"
When Xiang Nan heard this, he was confused. When he opened the door, he saw a man wearing a black suit, a pair of two-color leather boots, and a briefcase under his arm, standing outside the courtyard.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiang Nan looked at him and asked.
"You must be Master Ning. I'm dismounting San'er and making a special trip to pay a visit." When the man saw Xiang Nan, he immediately smiled and said.
Xiang Nan was stunned and blinked, unable to figure out what this person was doing.
If he was here to seek revenge, it didn't look like that.
First of all, the stubborn master is not dressed like this. The stubborn master usually wears blue overalls and old Yanjing cloth shoes. Or they might have been robbed of military uniforms, and there were very few people wearing suits;
Secondly, the stubborn master doesn’t talk like that either. Those who are recalcitrant are ten dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied. They rarely call others "grandfather", let alone nod and bow down when meeting people, with a smile on their face.
If he is here to give gifts, who would give him gifts when he is a child?
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Nan waved, "Okay, come in."
Ma Saner's face lit up with joy and he walked in quickly.
…
"Sit down wherever you want." Xiang Nan said, "What do you want from me?"
"Hey, Master Ning, just eat this. It's so unworthy of your status." Ma San'er glanced at the vegetable porridge on the stove and said with a smile, "Look, I brought you cooked beef. Use it." It’s best to have it with your meal.”
As he spoke, he opened the artificial leather bag and took out a paper bag. When you unfold it, you will see that it contains well-braised beef, with a red color and clear texture. You can tell it is good meat at a glance.
If ordinary people saw it, their saliva would definitely flow out. After all, meat is a good thing these days. Waiting for others, you may not eat meat once a year.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No reward for no merit, tell me first, what do you want from me?"
"Master Ning is really quick to talk." Ma San'er said with a smile, "I don't tell lies in front of real people, and I don't hide the truth. I am a Buddha~"
Buddha is a thief and a pickpocket. The reason why it is called so is mainly because of the spreading of rumors. It turns out that stealing is called Fu (the second tone of fou). In the cross talk "Making a Kitchen", the cook stealing things is called Fu. Later, by spreading false rumors, Fu became a Buddha.
Xiang Nan naturally knew what this meant and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Ma San'er, dressed so well, was actually a thief. If you think about it more carefully, it's right. Thieves get money quickly and at low cost, so they are willing to spend money lavishly.
Ordinary people don't even have enough money to spend, so how can they be willing to buy suits and leather shoes? The so-called three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending things were a common phenomenon at that time.
Xiang Nan then nodded, "You came to worship me today. Do you want me to protect you?"
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. No matter how skilled the thief is, he will inevitably be caught. But these days, money is very precious, so when they are caught, they are often beaten up.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, thieves often choose a tough guy who can fight as a backer. In this way, when he is caught, he may be beaten less if he retaliates.
After all, stubborn leaders are all overlords of one party, and in a region, it is easy to talk.
For example, when the little bastard was popular, he protected all the areas around Xinjiekou and Nanhua Street, as well as all the thieves there. Of course, the hood is not a white hood. Every month, these thieves will give him part of the dirty money they stole.
"You are wise." Ma San'er immediately smiled.
Although Xiang Nan is young, he has good skills. First, he knocked down the little bastard, and then beat up several strong boys of sixteen or seventeen with one against many. Such people are born to be stubborn masters.
But now the stubborn leaders of the older generation have basically left, and the rest are all useless. With Xiang Nan's skills, it may not be impossible to unify the four or nine cities.
So Ma San'er and others wanted to come to visit the dock, and Xiang Nan would take care of them from now on. It will also be easier for them to move around in the future.
"Master Ning, to tell you the truth, I have a large group of brothers who are willing to follow you. As long as you nod, I will give you this amount a month." He said, holding out two fingers.
"Two thousand?!" Xiang Nan sneered when he saw it.
Ma San'er was also stunned.
He stretched out two fingers, without saying anything, just to see Xiang Nan's appetite.
Logically speaking, for a child like him, two hundred a month is considered a lot.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan had a huge appetite and actually asked for two thousand. It was really a big deal.
"Just two thousand, what do you think?" Ma San'er nodded.
Although two thousand is a bit too much, if Xiang Nan is willing to protect them, then it is okay.
"Since you are willing to worship me, you should know that I have caught the little bastard before." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Yes, Lord Ning, you are brave." Ma San'er extended his thumb and said, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard it said countless times. Lord Ning, you caught the little bastard with three punches and two kicks. Yes, you really deserve it!"
"Since you have heard about this, you should know that I caught the little bastard because I wanted to act bravely and eliminate harm for the people." Xiang Nan said again, "You actually let me cover you gang of thieves and let you Don't worry and boldly pick out other people's bags, you are really blind! Even if I, Ning Wei, starve to death, I don't want this kind of dirty money. Get out of here, get out of here!"
Money is so precious these days. When Ning Yong and Zhong Yuemin went to the countryside, they only paid 5 cents for a day's work. In order to make more money, Li Kuiyong went to the reservoir to carry stones. Even though his ribs were broken due to a landslide, he returned before the injury healed. Just for a full meal and one yuan a day's wages.
This shows how hard it is to earn this money. If someone stole it, it would be worse than death. Therefore, thieves like Ma San'er should be cut to pieces.
Xiang Nan wouldn't make such unconscionable money even if he died, so he would keep a bunch of thieves to steal things.
Ma San'er was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to have such a high moral standard.
Generally speaking, regardless of whether they are die-hards or veterans, their moral standards are not high.
Don't think they all talk about loyalty. We enjoy the blessings together and bear the difficulties together, but that is for our brothers. To outsiders, they are all arrogant and domineering, bullying wantonly.
Even Zhong Yuemin would grab people's hats in the ice rink and hit them at will. Not really a good person.
Just like the one hundred and eight generals in Shuibo Liangshan, they are said to be heroes, but in fact they are a gang of demons who rob homes, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and harm the people, even children, women and children.
Therefore, the stubborn master is not opposed to accepting the Buddha.
With the Buddha as an offering, and a few hundred yuan a month for worship, I can live a very comfortable life, so I am naturally happy.
Of course, there are some veterans who have money at home and are unwilling to earn this dirty money.
But there are very few people like Xiang Nan who, despite being poor enough to only afford porridge, still act like a gentleman because they are poor and refuse to accept the Buddha.
