A young man had already taken out a hundred yuan, handed it to the van driver, and said, "Boss Zheng, how can I ask for your money?"
Another young man also said that he did not want money from the boss. This was a matter between his two brothers and they would settle the accounts slowly in the future.
Zheng Bajin is not polite either.
I have never heard of the idea of working for oneself and asking for travel expenses from the boss, so it’s better not to start this.
It turned out that these two people were cousins, one named Wang Chuncheng and the other Liu Chunsheng. They are all from Ning County, dozens of kilometers away from Chunkun. The family conditions are average. They come from a salary-earning family. Their parents are allocated welfare housing in the county. They are not considered rich, but they are much better than ordinary rural people.
Coincidentally, the two of them were admitted to the provincial technical school at the same time and chose the same major. At the same time, I witnessed Zheng Bajin leading students to fight with people in society.
They graduated in July, and their family originally arranged for them to work in a steel factory in the county town. However, the two of them admired Zheng Bajin too much, or in other words, they were impressed by his speech in school and were brainwashed. Stay in school and further your education.
The parents communicated with each other and learned that the two people were telling the same story, which was not a lie. They thought they really wanted to be promoted, so they agreed, and sent them living expenses, praising them for their ambition.
Zheng Bajin nodded, this is the best, there is no need to draw a cake. I thought to myself, if their parents knew that he was here to help others, would they be mad to death?
However, time can prove everything. Working on your own is not necessarily worse than state-owned enterprises.
Along the way, the two of them couldn't help but ask questions. Zheng Bajin had to tell them. They hadn't been to Qiucheng yet, so they didn't know what the situation was like there.
"There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Qiucheng, so remember to bring two extra layers of clothes." Zheng Bajin said, "However, the air is very fresh and sweet, and the sky is bluer."
The two of them looked yearning for each other. The truck driver saw through it without saying anything. He just cursed in his heart: We'll find out when we get there. What people say is that it’s like winter there all year round, and you can even put up a quilt at night in June.
Along the way, Zheng Bajin didn't dare to sleep anymore because he was afraid that the driver would take the wrong road. Fortunately, with two peers chatting with him, he didn't seem lonely at all.
Before you know it, it's going to be dark. The group of people arrived at a river. They pointed and asked, "Boss Zheng, what is this river called?"
"This is called Tanglangjiang River. It is a tributary on the right bank of the Jinsha River. It is more than 400 kilometers long." Zheng Bajin introduced it and said, "There is a market town in front. At the bottom of the river, people call it Jiangdi. Don’t you want to just have a meal?”
"Okay, boss, you can arrange it." The truck driver was a little hungry. He wanted to give the boss a meal if he didn't want to eat for free. He was afraid that the two young men would refuse and Zheng Bajin would try to use his scheme or push the boat along. , letting himself go hungry, he hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, it's like a night market. It's more lively at night. Youjia's chickens are famous." Zheng Bajin also wanted the two young people to see the world of Huahua, so that they can work hard and have the motivation to develop in the future. , so as not to lie too flat.
The truck driver's eyes lit up and he looked a little excited. Zheng Bajin couldn't help but be stunned. Did he say something wrong?
Oh, by the way, these drivers have traveled all over the world and have seen everything in the world. Naturally, they have also heard about the characteristics of this place.
But, he really misunderstood himself.
After a while, the group of people entered the street. On both sides were storefronts, various snacks, restaurants, and hotels.
As soon as the driver slowed down, a group of people came over. One said: "How many of you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"
"The sanitation of our place is very good, and everything is guaranteed to satisfy you." A woman dressed in a fashionable dress gave the driver a knowing look.
The driver looked a little tempted and glanced at Zheng Bajin.
"Come on, there's a restaurant ahead. The chicken is pretty good." Zheng Bajin said, "If you're not familiar with people here, it's easy to get raped!"
The driver nodded, finally did not stop, walked forward slowly, and said to the person soliciting customers: "We are not staying in the hotel, nor are we eating, we are just passing by."
People retreated angrily, cursing in their hearts: "Stingy devil!"
After walking just a few dozen meters, Zheng Bajin pointed to a place with a large front that could park four or five cars, and said, "It's right here, park directly in front of his house."
I saw it written on the facade, Lao Liu Braised Chicken.
When the driver stopped, he realized that Zheng Bajin was talking about native chickens, the kind that weigh three to four pounds each.
Although I was a little disappointed, I thought that the boss highly recommended it and it must taste good.
The 212 driven by Zhao Qian naturally stopped at the very back, but the distance was a bit short and she couldn't stop.
Zheng Bajin rolled his eyes and went over to instruct her to park the car.
After getting out of the car, Zhao Qian felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. She found that her legs were a little numb and she couldn't even walk.
Zheng Bajin didn't shy away from his suspicion, so he gave her a hand and helped her walk towards the restaurant.
The two young men looked at Zhao Qian with many thoughts, but they thought that this must be Boss Zheng's wife. They did not dare to make a mistake, let alone make a joke. Even looking at her twice felt like a sin.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant, enough for four or five tables, but fortunately it was wide enough to have empty seats.
The landlady, who was all greasy, came over to ask Zheng Bajin and others to sit down, and said with a smile: "Bosses, would you please take your order?"
"Get a fatter native chicken, stew some potatoes in it, and boil a cabbage in water." Zheng Bajin helped Zhao Qian sit down, and he sat next to her and said with a smile.
It looks like he is a regular visitor here, but actually he is not. This is his first time here, but he has eaten here in the previous life.
After more than ten years of road changes, the place is no longer prosperous. However, this old shop has continued to exist until the 21st century. Zheng Bajin participated in a charity event and someone took him here to eat. It was indeed extraordinary. The chicken was so delicious. Oily but not greasy.
The most important thing is that the ingredients are guaranteed to be the same as always, unchanged for decades, and they are all local free-range chickens.
In this life, arriving early, Zheng Bajin naturally wanted to have a taste.
The old woman nodded and said with a smile: "Five or six people, that's enough. Any more will be wasted and it will be a pity if you can't finish it. Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll tell the kitchen and I'll make some water for you."
At first glance, it sounds like he is a businessman with a conscience, and Zheng Bajin likes to deal with this type of people.
The proprietress had already walked away quickly on her short legs. Soon, she made a pot of tea and said, "You guys have a drink first."
After that, he left again to greet other guests.
Zheng Bajin discovered that the two drivers had been secretly watching Zhao Qian, as if they suddenly realized that the boss had brought a woman with him, so he had to respond to their call.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" the two young people suddenly said.
Zhao Qian couldn't help but blush, and she didn't know how to answer?
The water Zheng Bajin was drinking almost missed the faces of the two young men opposite him with a "puff" sound. He hurriedly explained: "What are you shouting about? Mr. Zhao is unmarried." He really doesn't know how to read treasures. , pulling the girl to call her sister-in-law!
