Sun Ergou spent a long time wiping the hot sweat on his forehead. He was out of breath from running and squatted on the ground to gasp for several times.
Chen Zhen looked at the other party and joked with a smile: "Er Gou, look at you, you are so weak. A grown man is so weak. Why don't you always brag with me? Why did you become so good, but now you can't?"
"Brother Zhen, you really can't stand and talk without hurting your back. The motorcycle can only be parked in the small square outside the south gate. I ran in with these two big buckets."
Sun Ergou swallowed and said with a dry throat.
Chen Zhen looked at the other party and smiled, and the sound he shouted just now attracted many people to come over and inquire. This business is not bad, and he can start immediately.
"Come, come, come one by one, our family used to sell it here, 80 cents a cup, 1.50 taels!"
“Hot apple cider vinegar is a perfect hand warmer in winter.”
"Hey, hey, brother, don't you dare squeeze the eldest sister behind you, she will almost fall down."
…
While Chen Zhen was busy taking out the plastic cup, he looked at the onlookers in front and shouted loudly.
"Give me a drink to try, I haven't drank it yet!"
A young man spoke first.
Without hesitation, Chen Zhen took a spoon and scooped out two spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar puree from the vat at his feet. He stirred the drink inside while the hot water was brewing.
The originally transparent hot water gradually turned green, and the waves of heat seemed to make people feel a little warmer. I don't know if it was a psychological effect.
"Bamao!"
"for you!"
The man took out a large pile of banknotes from his pocket and abruptly picked out eight earth-colored dimes.
Chen Zhen didn't hesitate. In his previous life, he probably couldn't see this dime a few times a year, but now a dime is a hard currency.
"Give me two cups to warm my hands. I think you guys are quite warm, so it would be a good idea to buy two cups."
"okay."
Chen Zhen became busy again.
Generally, there is a phenomenon in small stalls. If no one buys it, there will be no one there. But as long as there are two or three people buying it, there will be more people. This thing can be perfectly interpreted on the stall.
Maybe everyone is observing each other. When I see you buying here, I feel confident buying. Even if the purchase is not good, there will be someone to accompany me...
As there were more and more people, Chen Zhen couldn't handle it alone. Naturally, Sun Ergou was not idle either. He also held another bucket of puree at his feet and used a spoon to make cup after cup according to the proportion.
The hot water comes out very quickly, and a pot of hot water can probably pour about eight cups. The boss next to me gives me three yuan for every five or six pots, which makes me feel energetic all of a sudden.
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and set up another pot in our store. I see that the boy still has more than half a bucket of puree. He must use our hot water."
"Hurry up, don't be late and unable to keep up. We can't delay today."
"I didn't expect that I didn't make money from the orange water in the store. Instead, I made money from the simplest hot water. Don't tell me that this guy is pretty good at setting up a stall here."
…
The boss dusted himself off and then shouted loudly to his wife in the kitchen of the store.
Chen Zhen and Sun Ergou couldn't stop at all. They had been busy for nearly two hours. Their hands were almost stiff. Now every movement was mechanical and they had no thoughts of their own.
"Brother Zhen, I can't stand it anymore. This is more tiring than working on machine tools in the workshop. My arms are weak now."
Sun Ergou watched as the number of people around him gradually decreased, and then he put his hands on both sides and said with a tired look.
"Come on, come on, have a cigarette!"
Chen Zhen watched the people around him walking towards the south gate, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
Chen Zhen was naturally tired, but he could only take some time off when there was no one around.
It seemed that there was a rehearsal of some program in the small square outside the south gate. Since they were all dressed in ancient costumes and dressed up like various characters in the ancient city, many tourists were naturally attracted to watch.
Although there were fewer people, the small square could not accommodate many people. Naturally, there were still people wandering around the streets of the ancient city.
"Hey, isn't this Chen Zhen and Sun Ergou?"
At this time, a strange yet familiar voice came over.
The two of them looked up.
It was none other than Chen Zhen’s high school rival, Zheng Rengang!
Chen Zhen's face instantly darkened, and the cigarette butt in his hand remained motionless as it was blown by the wind.
Sun Ergou just took a puff of cigarette, then spit out the cigarette suddenly, threw the cigarette butt directly on the ground, and stood up with a scratch.
"Damn it, Zheng Rengang, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Zheng Rengang was obviously wearing hairspray, his hair fell to the side, he was wearing high-quality clothes, and there was a woman beside him, who looked pretty pretty.
"Er Gou, you still haven't changed your bad temper. You said you have no brains. What can you do with all this brute force? It's not that I look down on you. Get out of my way now and don't stand in my way."
Zheng Rengang said with a disdainful twist of his mouth, and then looked at the woman next to him and laughed. The woman naturally followed Zheng Rengang and smiled a few times. After a few laughs, the corners of her mouth twitched.
As soon as Sun Ergou heard this, he couldn't control himself and immediately rushed over the stall to take action.
"Sun Ergou!"
Chen Zhen shouted directly and pulled Sun Ergou several times with both hands before grabbing him.
Zheng Rengang took a few steps back, and then said with a bad smile: "Oh, wasn't it just that we had some unpleasantness at the beginning? As for why you have such a big hatred against me, besides, this is between me and Chen Zhen, you are a bitch. positive."
"Zheng Rengang, don't speak so harshly. If you want to get out, get out as soon as possible."
Chen Zhen pushed Sun Ergou away, walked straight towards Zheng Rengang, leaned against him and whispered softly.
Chen Zhen's eyes stared at him like poisonous snakes. Zheng Rengang felt a little stiff for a moment, and staggered back a few seconds later.
When he was in school, Chen Zhen's academic performance was above average, and he successfully entered the Match High School founded by the match factory at that time. It was quite large, and all the teachers were called from Qingshan City.
As a result, many people from wealthy families do not study at Pingjiang Middle School and would rather spend money to go to school here, and Zheng Rengang is one of them.
A few days after Chen Zhen entered high school, he was immediately informed that there was a problem with his student status. There was something wrong with his original grades, and Chen Zhen's admission qualifications were immediately suspended.
Within three days, Zheng Rengang, who was originally in Pingjiang Middle School, successfully entered the school, and Chen Zhen lost his student status, but he could not bear this anger.
