"There's nothing wrong with you, but there's something wrong with your words and actions. You don't look like an ordinary old man. Look over there. That's an ordinary old man."
The man put down the tray, took out all the dishes, put the tray away and carried it in his hand. Then he said to my grandfather, and while speaking, he pointed to a fried goods stall not far away, and an old man I was also eating with two young men, but during the meal, I could see that it was an old man from the farmhouse. He was talking to the shopkeeper. It felt like the two of them were quarreling. They kept using their hands while talking. He pointed at the dishes on the table, seemingly dissatisfied with them.
"Hey, shopkeeper, can you tell me?" My grandpa also saw it, the old man was arguing with the shopkeeper across the way, but that old man was dressed better than him, at least the material looked more decent than my grandpa's. Why is he like this? The shopkeeper also said that he doesn't look like an ordinary person? Is it because of quarrels and arguments? Naturally, my grandfather wanted to ask for a clear answer, so when he asked, he took out a dollar and handed it over. This was obviously not money for food, but money to buy some news.
"Look at it, let me tell you that you are not an ordinary person. How can any ordinary old man have the habit of giving rewards? It takes a long time to ask for news and give him a cigarette. You are only one yuan, and these are two big cigarettes. Chicken legs."
Although the man was talking, his hands were not idle. He reached out and took the dollar, and stuffed the money into his sleeve without leaving any trace.
"I understand, it's my words and deeds that have leaked my knowledge, hahaha..."
When grandpa heard what the man said, he suddenly seemed to have figured it out, and then he laughed heartily.
"That's right, no matter how you look at it, everyone comes up with it."
The man also nodded repeatedly, indicating that grandpa’s understanding was correct. He also praised grandpa and said that grandpa is our son.
"Okay, thank you." Grandpa smiled and nodded.
"You're welcome, sir, I have the best Erguotou here. Do you want to order Erguotou?"
"I have important things to do today. It's not appropriate to drink. Is there any pasta?"
"Yes, the mutton steamed buns made by my mother-in-law are excellent. How many of you want mutton steamed buns? Or should you just order mutton soup and grilled steamed buns?"
When a man talks about his wife's craftsmanship, he looks proud.
"I want a mutton steamed bun. I'm too old to eat something too hard. You can make up your own mind. You can order whatever you want. You're welcome."
After my grandfather finished speaking, he asked Wei Wenbin and the two servants of the Yue family to order whatever they liked.
"I want to order a la carte. I like grilled buns."
"I'll order a la carte too."
"Me too."
Wei Wenbin and the two Yue family servants all chose the a la carte order, which consisted of a large bowl of mutton soup and two crispy and hard baked buns. This baked bun is not a steamed bun, but a kind of hard pancake, which is very fragrant when baked in the fire.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
The man was very happy. Not only could he make money from this table, but he also got an unexpected gain. He had a reward of one yuan. This reward did not need to be recorded in the accounts. It was his private money. How could he not be happy about this?
"This man is really interesting." Grandpa watched the man leave with a smile, then turned to Wei Wenbin and said.
"Uncle, I don't understand..." Wei Wenbin was puzzled. Isn't this an obvious thing? You are dressed like this, but you are a professional who can do it casually and reward money. You don't look like an ordinary person. Old man, besides, there are people coming and going at this food stall every day. Shopkeepers like this are always there to welcome and drop off people. He doesn’t have a pair of sharp eyes. How could he not see the difference in you? So Wei Wenbin I don't understand. What does the head of the Wu family want to do?
"Well..." My grandfather looked at Wei Wenbin and stopped Wei Wenbin's words with his eyes, making Wei Wenbin swallow the second half of the sentence directly.
"Here you go..." The man was carrying a tray, and on the tray was a portion of mutton steamed buns. The man walked up, his steps brisk and steady, and put the mutton steamed buns on the table one by one. .
"Eat, let's go out for a walk after eating." My grandfather saw that the food was already on the table, and motioned to the three of them to start eating.
"Master, what are you going out for?" The man put everything back on the shelf next to the stove. When he heard my grandfather say that he wanted to go out for a walk, he heard clearly.
He felt that this old man was obviously a rich man, but he dressed like this and had bodyguards around him. He had seen this kind of thing before. It often happened in dramas. This old man was either out to experience life and have fun, or he was out to observe. A high-ranking official who cares about the people. Looking at the old man's behavior, he doesn't look like a high-ranking official. He is just an old man who comes out to have fun and experience life.
The man was thinking this, and then thought of the dollar in his sleeve. He thought that if he could coax the old man to get better, he might be able to get some rewards, so he stepped forward to talk to see if there was any benefit.
"I plan to walk around and see where I can buy meat and buy some food for my family."
My grandpa took a sip of mutton soup, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, when he spoke, you could see that he was very perfunctory and a little bit contemptuous, not that he looked down on people, but that It's like you can't help me and I don't want to tell you more.
"Old man, I don't dare to say anything else. I really have a way with food."
Naturally, this man saw my grandpa's expression, and immediately felt unhappy. He thought to himself, who do you, this old man, look down on? He might not be able to help you with other things, but when it comes to meat, he really has a way with it. Especially at this point in time, his connections are even more important. The meats of several food stalls in this small market are also obtained through his connections. Otherwise, this food stall would really be a mess. No meat, because they couldn't transport it in.
"I..., is that right? Do you have access to thousands of kilograms of meat?"
When my grandfather spoke, the look on his face was obviously one of contempt, and his tone of voice was also teasing and joking.
"Old man, don't you believe me? Then go out and find out. All the meat in this market comes from my way. I don't dare to say that I supply tens of thousands of kilograms of meat, but as long as you can buy so much meat, I I can let you transport it in. Without me, you can’t transport the meat in. What’s the use of having money? You must have connections now.”
When the middle-aged man heard what my grandpa said, he frowned and suddenly felt an unknown anger. This was because he was looking down on himself. This middle-aged man was not used to my grandpa and the others, so he said to my grandpa rudely. , his expression was arrogant when he spoke. This was because of the dollar. It wasn’t that he thought there was still profit to be made here with my grandpa, and he really wouldn’t talk so much to my grandpa.
