Lord of Puluo

Chapter 99 The Young Master in Distress

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 while 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."

In the conversation between two people, Ma Wu could understand any sentence apart, but put it 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 a nice guy and 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, and 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 were mainly wooden houses. The brick and stone houses were basically invisible, but there were also a lot of thatched sheds.

Ma Wu stopped and said, "Let's find a room nearby. You can't go too close to the south. It's close to Xindi, and Xindi is not very peaceful. The houses here are okay, but it depends on who the landlord is." ,

The landlord is too tough, and will increase your rent every three days. The landlord is too soft, and the house will be robbed before it is completed. "

Lanyang Village is such a good place.

The landlord here is also so honest.

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

Ma Wu nodded: "I know a landlord like this, and I don't know if he is at home."

Li Banfeng said: "If he is not at home, I will stay at your place first, and I will just give you the rent."

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

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

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

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

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.

This man's surname was Wei, and Ma Wu didn't know his name either. Others called him landlord Wei.

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

Landlord Wei looked Ma Wu up and down: "Are you rich?"

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

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

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

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

It was two meters long and two meters wide, with nothing inside except a bed.

"Two hundred a month."

"No rent!" Li Banfeng felt bad after just one look.

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

This room is slightly larger, about ten square meters, with a bed and a table.

"No rent!" Li Banfeng refused directly.

"This doesn't work either?" Shopkeeper Wei looked at Li Banfeng, "What do you want?"

Li Banfeng smiled and said: "You can weigh it yourself if it suits my status."

Landlady Wei was stunned.

Who is this person?

Landlady Wei couldn't tell either.

Seeing how arrogant he is, I might as well give him a hard blow.

Landlady Wei led the two of them to the bottom of a two-story wooden building. The house here 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 and a bedroom and a pressurized water well on the first floor, and two bedrooms on the second floor.

Overall, this place can be regarded as a small villa, with tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, and all the necessary belongings.

The most precious thing is the pressure well.

In Prozhou, houses with wells are not on the same level as houses without wells. If there is a well, there is no need to queue up for water.

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

"Two thousand five thousand! One payment per month, three days overdue, please move." Landlady Wei mentioned the rent and wanted to see Li Banfeng's reaction.

Li Banfeng counted out five thousand yuan: "Let it be rented for two months first."

"Refreshing!" Landlady Wei collected the money, and Li Banfeng collected the keys.

Ma Wu stood at the door and did not enter the house: "Boss, Lao Wei's reputation is not bad. You can stay here for now. I will come find you early tomorrow morning."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Not early tomorrow morning. One hundred and fifty a day. I'm hiring for a whole day, no matter what is right or wrong."

Ma Wu frowned when he heard this: "What's the use of leaving me here at night?"

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

Ma Wu lowered his head, his cheeks turning red again.

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

He recognized Li Banfeng at first sight.

Although he only met once at the salesman's place, and although they didn't say their real names, he remembered this person and remembered that his name was Li Qi.

Li Banfeng stretched out his hand toward the room: "Please, fifth master."

PS: I think Ma Wu still hasn’t let go. With his temperament and ability, as long as he goes out to sell and ensure food and clothing, there is absolutely no problem!
