Chapter 99 The Young Man in Trouble

How could Ma Wu pick up something to eat in the garbage?

He is a young man from a wealthy family. When the salesman was taking medicine, he had more than a dozen followers around him.

Although he only met him once, Li Banfeng had a deep impression of Ma Wu. This man had no airs and was frank in his speech. At first, Li Banfeng knew nothing about Puozhou, but Ma Wu did a lot of popular science and also Gave him a lot of advice.

At that time, Li Banfeng shined in the sky, and Ma Wu kept telling Li Banfeng to find a way to save his life.

Seeing Ma Wu running away from the garbage pile, Li Banfeng chased after him.

Ma Wu was very weak. Even if he wasn't weak, he couldn't outrun the traveling cultivator. When he ran to an alley, Ma Wu suddenly turned around and said, "You got the wrong person, I'm not Ma Wu!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about horse five, I'm talking about one hundred and fifty."

Ma Wuyi was startled: "What one hundred and fifty?"

Li Banfeng said: "I want to hire someone. This is my first time coming to Green Water Bay. I have never been to any place and I don't know anyone.

I want to hire a guide for one hundred and fifty a day. Are you willing to do it? "

Ma Wu looked Li Banfeng up and down, his brows trembling slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Wu lowered his head and whispered: "Really one hundred and fifty a day?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I'm still in charge of the food. If you are willing to take over this job, let's go eat now."

Ma Wu agreed. He was starving.

Although he was reduced to eating in a garbage dump, he did not give up on himself. He still wanted to live.

Li Banfeng took Ma Wu to the noodle shop again.

Ma Wu stopped Li Banfeng: "It's best not to go to this restaurant."

"Why can't you go?"

Ma Wudao: "This is not a place where outsiders should come. The boss here is not a kind person."

Li Banfeng was very surprised: "I have eaten noodles here before, and the boss here is very nice."

Ma Wu sighed softly: "I am just a guide. I can only say this much. You can make up your own mind on big and small matters."

Li Banfeng took Ma Wu into the noodle shop. The noodle shop owner was cleaning up the broken tables, chairs and dishes with other "diners". When he saw Li Banfeng coming, the noodle shop owner exclaimed: "Why are you here again?"

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "I'm here to eat! Isn't this a restaurant? How much does the mutton noodles cost?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head and said, "Five yuan."

Ma Wu asked: "Please tell me clearly, is it five yuan for a bowl or five yuan for a stick?"

It seems that Ma Wu also suffered a loss here.

The shopkeeper raised his head and said: "We are doing business conscientiously, so naturally it's five yuan a bowl."

This answer surprised Ma Wu.

But what Li Banfeng said next made him even more surprised.

"Five yuan a bowl? It's so cheap. Is it appropriate?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "That's ten yuan."

Li Banfeng frowned: "Is ten yuan appropriate?"

The shopkeeper sniffled and said, "We are a small business."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Ten yuan then. Let's have two bowls first."

Ma Wu could understand any sentence of the conversation between the two people, but put it all together, Ma Wu could not understand it at all.

Are these two friends?

Are they joking with each other?

The other "diners" looked at Li Banfeng, quickly moved tables and chairs, sat down and pretended to eat.

Not long after, two bowls of mutton noodles were served, and the shopkeeper gave Li Banfeng twenty yuan.

Li Banfeng accepted the money and said to Ma Wu: "I just said that this boss is not bad and he is quite down-to-earth."

Ma Wu was completely dumbfounded.

When he comes to eat noodles, the shopkeeper gives him money?

But Ma Wu's attention was quickly attracted by the noodles in front of him.

He is very hungry.

"Eat, open it and eat." Li Banfeng handed Ma Wu a pair of chopsticks.

Ma Wu's face turned red. He didn't want to receive charity.

Li Banfeng smiled and said: "Eat quickly, I hire people to work, and I always provide food and accommodation. You deserve this."

Ma Wu picked up the chopsticks and finished the first bowl of noodles in three or two mouthfuls.

Li Banfeng pushed another bowl of noodles over: "I've eaten it, and this bowl is yours too."

Ma Wu pursed his lips, and in the blink of an eye, he had finished the second bowl of noodles.

Li Banfeng turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Cook two more bowls."

The shopkeeper said sadly: "We are a small business."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "What, do you want to increase the price?"

"Well, it won't go up, just ten yuan a bowl."

Not long after, the shopkeeper brought two more bowls of noodles and gave Li Banfeng twenty yuan.

Ma Wu ate five bowls of noodles in a row and stopped eating.

Are you full?

He was really not full, but Ma Wu had been hungry all day, and it would be dangerous to eat any more.

"Let's get to work, boss, what do you want me to do?"

Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Didn't we already agree that I'll let you be my guide and find me a place to live first?"

"Finding a place to live..." Ma Wu was a little embarrassed. Finding a place to live in Lanyang Village was really not that easy.

After leaving the noodle shop, Ma Wu took Li Banfeng and walked deeper into the village. As he walked, he explained to Li Banfeng: "In Lanyang Village, don't live in the north of the village. The houses there are solid but may be demolished at any time. "

"Why?"

"You should have seen the road rollers when you entered the village. The city is building roads this way. It needs to be built more than ten meters a day. All the houses along the way have to be demolished."

Li Banfeng thought for a while: "If the demolition continues like this, Lanyang Village will become smaller and smaller. Wouldn't it be completely demolished soon?"

"The demolition is not enough. The south side of Lanyang Village is connected to new land, and the people in the village are constantly opening up wasteland. After decades of demolition and construction, Lanyang Village is still so big."

Ma Wu walked to the center of the village. The houses here are mainly wooden houses. Brick and stone houses are basically invisible, but there are also many thatched huts.

Ma Wu stopped and said: "Just find a room nearby. You can't go to places too close to the south. There is a new land there, and the new land is not very peaceful. The houses here are okay, but it depends on who the landlord is.

If the landlord is too hard, he will increase your rent every few days. If the landlord is too soft, the house may be robbed."

Lanyang Village is really a good place.

The landlord here is so simple.

Li Banfeng looked around: "Then find a landlord who is not too hard or too soft."

Ma Wu nodded: "I know such a landlord, but I don't know if he is at home."

Li Banfeng said: "If he is not at home, I will live in your place first, and I will pay you the rent."

Ma Wu smiled awkwardly: "It's not convenient for me."

He was embarrassed to say that he had no place to live. He built a shed near the new land. Just yesterday, the shed was robbed.

During the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Li Banfeng had slept in a bridge hole because he had no dormitory to live in. At that time, a female classmate wanted to visit his home.

Li Banfeng seemed to have seen Ma Wu's expression at this moment.

Ma Wu knocked on the door of a wooden house. After waiting for a few minutes, a man in clothes walked out of the house.

The man's surname was Wei. Ma Wu didn't know his name. Others called him Landlord Wei.

Ma Wu asked, "Do you have a house?"

Landlord Wei looked Ma Wu up and down and said, "Do you have money?"

He knew that Ma Wu had no money. Just a few days ago, Ma Wu was kicked out by him because he couldn't pay the rent.

Ma Wu turned around and looked at Li Banfeng: "It's not me who wants to rent, it's this boss."

Li Banfeng smiled at Landlord Wei: "I have money."

Landlord Wei yawned, took a bunch of keys, and opened a wooden house first.

Two meters long and two meters wide, there was nothing inside except a bed.

"Two hundred a month."

"No rent!" Li Banfeng felt bad at the first glance.

Landlord Wei rolled his eyes at Li Banfeng and opened another room.

This room was a little bigger, about ten square meters, with a bed and a table.

"No!" Li Banfeng refused directly.

"This is not okay?" Shopkeeper Wei looked at Li Banfeng, "What kind do you want?"

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "One that suits my status, you can weigh it yourself."

Landlord Wei was stunned.

What is this person's status?

Landlord Wei couldn't tell.

Seeing that he was so rampant, he might as well give him a hard time.

Landlord Wei led the two to the bottom of a two-story wooden building, where the house was not so crowded and the environment was good.

Li Banfeng nodded and followed the landlord into the first floor.

There is a living room, a bedroom and a water pressure well on the first floor, and two bedrooms on the second floor.

Overall, this is a small villa, with tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, and all the necessary belongings.

The most precious thing is the water pressure well.

In Provo, houses with wells and houses without wells are not of the same level. With a well, you don't have to queue up to get water.

Li Banfeng nodded: "This looks like a place to live. How much is it per month?"

"Two thousand five! One month payment. If you are overdue for three days, please move out." Landlord Wei said the rent, wanting to see Li Banfeng's reaction.

Li Banfeng counted out five thousand yuan: "Rent for two months first."

"Smooth!" Landlord Wei took the money and Li Banfeng took the key.

Ma Wu stood at the door and did not enter the house: "Boss, Lao Wei's reputation is good. You live here first. I will come to you tomorrow morning."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Tomorrow morning is not possible. One hundred and fifty a day. I hire you for a whole day, regardless of day or night."

Ma Wu frowned when he heard this: "What use can you leave me here at night?"

"It's very useful. I will tell you in detail later. Come in and pick a room first."

Ma Wu lowered his head and his cheeks flushed again.

He entered the wooden house, raised his head, and smiled at Li Banfeng: "Thank you, Master Qi."

He recognized Li Banfeng at first sight.

Although he had only met him once at the peddler's place, and although they had not said their real names, he remembered this man, and remembered that his name was Li Qi.

Li Banfeng extended his hand towards the house: "Please come in, Master Wu."

PS: I think Ma Wu still didn't let go. With his temperament and ability, as long as he went out to sell and ensure food and clothing, there would be absolutely no problem!
