Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

When Hao Liang returned to the room on the third floor of Fatty's Internet Cafe and looked at Fatty's building, all his thoughts just now disappeared and he figured everything out.

Just like when I first came back from rebirth, my plan was to earn enough money to buy this building after the World Cup next year. I would not have to worry about eating, drinking, having fun, and having a wife.

I don’t have much ability in the first place, so I have to think about so many things. I am past the age where I can be conceited. Collecting rent is what I have to do.

After thinking about all this, Hao Liang went to the bathroom and took a shower with the newly purchased water heater. When he returned to the room, he found that he had nothing to wear.

"After cutting your hair tomorrow, let's go buy some clothes. Go to sleep!" Hao Liang muttered to himself inexplicably, then fell on the bed and started to sleep.

The next morning, after Hao Liang woke up, he went to the bathroom to wash up and found a text message on his phone.

It was sent by He Limei, who didn't get through to the phone yesterday. "I was a little busy in the store yesterday and didn't have time to check my phone. What can I do for you?"

Hao Liang looked at this text message. It was already the second day, and there was no point in going back to it, so he just found a piece of clothing that was considered better and put it on.

When I arrived at the breakfast stall on the roadside, I sat at the folding table of the breakfast stall and said to the boss, "Boss, let's have a bowl of pickled pork noodles."

The noodle stall owner heard Hao Liang's voice, responded, and continued to work. There were several people waiting in front of Hao Liang. The noodle stall business for breakfast seemed to be pretty good.

After a while, an old lady who looked like the boss's mother brought Hao Liang some dinner and placed it in front of Hao Liang. She then left to wash the bowls that the guests had eaten.

These bowls were rinsed with clean water and used directly, but no one said anything about them being unsanitary or unclean. Anyway, they were unclean and there was nothing wrong with eating them.

No one is so pretentious as to embarrass someone who sets up a breakfast stall. After all, a bowl of pickled vegetable noodles only costs three yuan, which is about the same price as instant noodles.

After eating the noodles, Hao Liang shouted to the boss who had finished his work, "Boss, how much does it cost?"

"Three yuan." The boss came over, took out a cigarette and handed it to Hao Liang. It wasn't a good cigarette either, a pack of Lion cost five yuan.

"Thank you, I don't smoke." Hao Liang took out a five-yuan note and handed it to the boss and said.

The boss put the cigarette in his mouth, took the money from Hao Liang, found two coins and handed them to Hao Liang. "It's better not to smoke. I can't quit now."

"Boss, how much can you earn this morning?"

"It's not much, it's all hard-earned money. I have to get up at three o'clock in the morning to get ready. It's not as good as those educated people who just sit in the office and blow the air conditioner every day. The salary is still high."

The boss sighed and another customer came. He threw the half-smoked cigarette to the ground and went to greet the customers.

Hao Liang also walked towards the bus stop, got on the bus, and went to Hei Pang's place to get a haircut.

Heipang's barber shop is easy to find. It is located in a bungalow at the intersection of the urban village a little below the Central Bridge.

When Hao Liang entered, there was already one person doing a haircut and another young man washing his hair. He seemed to be the apprentice of this guy.

"Handsome guy, wait a minute, you sit down for a while."

Hei Pang wore a tight-fitting suit and a pair of three-quarter-length tight jeans. He dyed his hair into a cluster of yellow, a cluster of red, and a cluster of green. He was very fashionable.

But coupled with Hei Pang's figure and appearance, it's like a circus chimpanzee wearing clothes and performing in front of the audience. It's full of joy and makes people want to laugh.

Hao Liang waited for a while, and then several young people with colorful clothes came in, including a few girls.

"Brother Hei Fat, please do my hair again and make it look fluffy." A girl came in and said to Hei Fat.

"Little pepper, your hair actually looks better if it is straightened. Otherwise, I will do an ion perm for you later." The fat man kept working on his hands and turned to the girl who was talking.

"Really, then straighten it for me and dye it red for me."

Hao Liang looked at the girl who was talking. She looked pretty good, but her fancy dress was a bit unacceptable to Hao Liang. There were two big black circles on her eyes, making her look like a panda.

While they were chatting with each other, it was Hao Liang's turn. As soon as Hao Liang sat on the barber's chair, Fatty Hei said to Hao Liang.

"Handsome boy, your hair is a little curly. How about I pull it out for you? It will look good if you dye it blonde."

"No need for that, just shave the sides and back of my hair, leaving five millimeters on the top and front."

"Why are you shaving it off? You heard me right. Your face shape is not suitable for short hair. I'll make it cheaper for you." Hei Pang said to Hao Liang without giving up.

Seeing that Hao Liang was indifferent, Hei Pang said to the girl who had just spoken, "Little pepper, do you think this handsome guy would look much better if he straightened his hair and dyed it."

"He's a handsome guy. I think he's just a cricket." The girl named Xiaojiao said without any shame.

This made the fat black man feel embarrassed all of a sudden. He made a haha ​​and let it pass. He continued to trick Hao Liang into letting him do his hair according to his own ideas.

"Teacher Tony, just follow what I said, I don't like to have long hair." Hao Liang did not call Heifang, but called Teacher Tony with a teasing taste.

Hei Pang was a little confused when Hao Liang called him Teacher Tony, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Hei Fat Brother, just follow what he said. He may have been dumped by his girlfriend and wants to lose his ambition." The girl said after asking Little Pepper to order her.

Seeing that his sales pitch was of no use, Hei Pang followed Hao Liang's instructions and started thinking. With the sound of the electric razor, Hao Liang's hair fell out in large clumps.

"Handsome guy, I see your face is a little oily. I have facial cleanser here. Do you want to buy a bottle? It's very effective. It can also remove acne."

"No need." Hao Liang said with his eyes closed.

Hei Pang's facial cleanser is the same as his skin, in one word, black!

In the previous life, Zhong Yi was deceived into buying a bottle. Hao Liang also used it several times and was almost disfigured.

After using it, I felt extremely itchy, so Zhong Yi threw it into the trash can.

After a while, Hei Pang straightened Hao Liang's head and trimmed it. After he was satisfied, he washed Hao Liang's head again, blew it with a hair dryer, and applied some styling water to him.

.

"Handsome guy, my styling water is also very effective. Why don't you buy a bottle? Just spray it on when you get up every day and take care of it with your hands."

"No, I don't like to take care of my hair. How much does it cost, boss?" Hao Liang said in refusal.

"No, just five yuan. Come to my place next time for a haircut."

Hao Liang took out ten yuan and handed it to Hei Fat. Hei Fat also took five yuan from a drawer and asked Hao Liang.

Hao Liang put the money in his trouser pocket, walked out the door, and arrived at a bus stop on the side of the road to wait for the bus to the city.

After waiting for a while, a bus full of people slowly drove into the bus stop, and Hao Liang also squeezed on.

After swiping the card, Hao Liang held his pocket, squeezed in, and stood firm in the empty space behind.

The bus drove very slowly, and there were basically passengers getting on and off at every stop. It took half an hour before the bus arrived in the city. But it took about ten minutes to walk to the city center to buy clothes.

As soon as Hao Liang got off the bus, he saw several people approaching, one of whom was holding three round cards in his hand.

He was holding a stack of RMB one hundred denominations in his hand, and he was shouting, "Everyone is here to play games. We will pay you whatever you win."

Before he finished speaking, several people who came with him came over and attracted a few people who were waiting for the bus.

Hao Liang found it interesting and started watching. Several people waiting for the bus also came over and watched together.

One of the people who came together asked the person who had just called everyone over to play a game. "How do you play this?"

"This is simple. If you see that there are no cards in my hand, this one has a red dot, I will throw these three cards to the ground. As long as you have a sharp eye and your bet is correct, I will give you money."

"It's so simple. Just throw it away. I'll bet a hundred first." The man who asked the question said.

"If the bet fails, your money will be mine. We have to agree on this."
