The layout of hotels in Lu Town is different from other places: they all have a large square-shaped counter on the street, with hot water prepared in the cabinet, so that you can warm wine at any time. Workers, after taking a break from work in the afternoon and evening, would spend four copper coins each time to buy a bowl of wine. This happened more than twenty years ago, but now each bowl costs ten copper coins. Standing outside the counter , drink it hot and have a rest;

If you are willing to spend an extra penny, you can buy a plate of salted bamboo shoots or fennel beans to drink with. If you spend more than ten pence, you can Buy some meat dishes, but most of these customers are from short-clothed gangs, and they are probably not so wealthy. Only those wearing long gowns walked into the house next to the store, asked for wine and food, and sat down to drink slowly.

I have been working as a waiter in the Xianheng Hotel at the entrance of the town since I was twelve years old. The shopkeeper said that I looked too stupid and was afraid that I would not be able to serve the long-gown customers, so I just did something outside. Although the short-coated patrons outside are easy to talk to, there are also many who are nagging and confused.

They often have to watch the rice wine being scooped out from the jar, check whether there is water at the bottom of the pot, and watch the pot being placed in hot water, and then rest assured: under this serious supervision, , Jianshui is also in trouble. So a few days later, the shopkeeper said again that I couldn't do it. Fortunately, the recommendation was kind and I couldn't fire him, so I was assigned to the boring job of warming wine.

From then on, I stood at the counter all day long, focusing on my duties. Although there is no dereliction of duty, it always feels a bit monotonous and boring. The shopkeeper had a fierce face, and the patrons were not friendly either, and he was not lively. Only when Kong Yiji came to the shop could he laugh a few times, so I still remember it.

Kong Yiji was the only person wearing a long gown while drinking while standing. He is tall and tall, with a pale complexion and often scars between his wrinkles, and a shaggy gray beard. Although he was wearing a long gown, it was dirty and torn. It seemed that it had not been mended or washed in more than ten years. When he talks to people, he always talks a lot and teaches people half-understood things.

Because his surname was Kong, others nicknamed him Kong Yiji from the semi-understandable words "Master Kong Yiji" written on the red paper. As soon as Kong Yiji arrived at the shop, all the drinkers looked at him and smiled, and some shouted, "Kong Yiji, you have a new scar on your face!" He did not answer, but said to the cabinet, "Warm two bowls of wine. "I asked for a plate of fennel beans." They shouted loudly and deliberately, "You must have stolen someone else's things again!" Kong Yiji opened his eyes wide and said, "How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..." "What innocence?

I saw you stealing books from the He family the day before yesterday, and you were beaten while hanging." Kong Yiji blushed, veins sprouted on his forehead, and argued, "Stealing books cannot be considered stealing... stealing books! Can the things done by scholars be considered stealing?" followed by a series of difficult words, such as "a gentleman is poor" and "he is so poor", etc., which caused everyone to laugh: the atmosphere inside and outside the store was full of joy.

I heard people talking about it behind their backs. Kong Yiji used to be educated, but in the end he did not go to school and could not make a living. As a result, he became poorer and poorer, until he was almost begging for food. Fortunately, if I write a good word, I will pay for someone else's book in exchange for a bowl of rice. It's a pity that he has another bad temper, that is, he is lazy and lazy. Within a few days, people, books, papers, pens, and inkstones all disappeared.

This happened several times, and no one asked him to write the book. Kong Yiji had no choice but to steal from time to time. But in our store, his conduct was better than others, that is, he never defaulted on arrears. Although he occasionally did not have cash, he temporarily recorded it on the pink board, but within a month, he would definitely pay it off, and Kong Yiji was wiped off the pink board. name.

Kong Yiji drank half a bowl of wine, and his flushed face gradually returned to normal. Someone else asked again, "Kong Yiji, do you really know how to read?" Kong Yiji looked at the person who asked him, obviously Showing disdain to argue. They then said, "How come you can't even catch half a scholar?"

Kong Yiji immediately looked depressed and uneasy, his face was covered with a layer of gray, and he said something. ;This time it’s all about the same thing, some of which I don’t understand. At this time, everyone burst into laughter: the atmosphere inside and outside the store was full of joy.

At these times, I can laugh along, and the shopkeeper will never blame me. Moreover, when the shopkeeper met Kong Yiji, he would always ask him this question, which made people laugh. Kong Yiji knew that he could not talk to them, so he had no choice but to talk to the children. Once he said to me, "Have you read the book?" I nodded slightly. He said, "If you have read the book... I will give you a test.

How do you write the word fennel for fennel beans?" I thought, does a person who is begging for food deserve to take my test? Then he turned around and ignored him. Kong Yiji waited for a long time and said sincerely, "Can't you write?... I will teach you, remember! These words should be remembered. When I become the shopkeeper in the future, I will use them when writing accounts." I thought to myself and the shopkeeper His level is still far away, and our shopkeeper never pays for fennel beans;

Funny and impatient, he lazily replied, "Who wants you to teach me? A back and forth word for "Hui"? Kong Yiji looked very happy, tapped his long nails on the counter, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! ... There are four ways to write the word "Hui", do you know? "I became more impatient, pursed my lips and walked away. Kong Yiji had just dipped his nails in the wine and wanted to write something on the cabinet. When he saw that I was not enthusiastic, he sighed again, showing a very regretful look.

On several occasions, neighborhood children heard the laughter and joined in the fun, surrounding Kong Yiji.

He then gave them "Neodymium Capturing Hooks", one for each of them. After the child finished eating the beans, he still stayed with his eyes looking at the plate. Kong Yiji panicked, stretched out his fingers to cover the plate, bent down and said, "Not much, I don't have much anymore." He straightened up and looked at the beans again, shook his head and said, "Not much, not much! Not much!" Really? Not much." Then the group of children dispersed in laughter.

Kong Yiji is such a joyful person, but without him, others would live like this.

One day, about two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the shopkeeper was slowly settling the bill, taking off the pink board, and suddenly said, "Kong Yiji hasn't been here for a long time. He still owes nineteen yuan!" "I also feel that he has indeed not been here for a long time. A drinker said, "Why is he here?... He broke his leg." The shopkeeper said, "Oh!" "He always steals.

This time, he was fainting. He actually stole something from Ding Juren's house. Did he steal it? "What happened next?" "Then the leg was discounted." "How was the discount?" "How?...Who knows? Maybe he died." The shopkeeper stopped asking and continued to settle his accounts slowly.
