At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Jingrong finally finished the work at hand, took the hands of the two little girls, and was about to go to the pier to take a boat home. As a result, he just walked to the factory gate and saw the roads along the pier. It was full of all kinds of small stalls, which made him very puzzled, and he said to himself in puzzlement: "My dear, I just went to Yangcheng for a few days, how come this pier has become Is there a market?"

"Jingrong! This pier will become so lively, mainly because of our factory." The guard of the factory heard Wu Jingrong talking to himself, and told Wu Jingrong the reason proudly.

When Wu Jingrong heard the situation introduced by the guard, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked the guard in puzzlement: "Jin Hanbo! What does it have to do with our factory that it has become so lively here?"

Hearing Wu Jingrong's question, the doorman thought of the real reason why the wharf became a small market, and introduced to Wu Jingrong proudly: "Jingrong! Now our factory's wages are among the best in Hancheng. The workers have Money, naturally want to improve life."

"In the beginning, when everyone got off work, they all went to the fishermen to buy some seafood. Later, more and more people came here to set up stalls. After a long time, it became what it is now."

Wu Jingrong understood the ins and outs of the situation when he heard the guard's introduction. He looked at the small vendors who were shouting, smiled and asked the two little girls standing beside him: "Niuniu! Yaya! What do you want tonight? What to eat? Let's go shopping now."

When Niuniu heard Wu Jingrong's words, she immediately remembered the pig's trotter soup that Wu Jingrong made last time, and said to Wu Jingrong in a childlike voice, "Dad! Niuniu wants to eat pig's trotter soup. The pig's trotter soup you cooked last time was delicious. , Niuniu still wants to eat.”

"Godfather! Yaya also wants to eat pig's trotter soup." Hearing Niuniu's words, Yaya on the side immediately remembered the big pig's trotters she had eaten at Niuniu's house last time, and said to Wu Jingrong in a childlike voice.

Wu Jingrong heard the words of the two little guys and saw the longing expressions on the faces of the two little guys, and replied with a smile: "Okay! Then let's go and see if there are any pig feet to buy. If there are, we will buy them tonight." Just eat pork knuckle soup."

While speaking, Wu Jingrong walked towards a meat stall not far away, holding a little girl by the hand.When he saw the pig's trotter wrapped in a towel by the butcher, he asked the butcher, "Boss! Is your pig's trotter the front or the back? How much is it per catty?"

Hearing Wu Jingrong's question, the butcher seller immediately lifted the towel covering the pig's trotters, and said to Wu Jingrong with a smile: "Little brother! This is the front hoof. I sold it for one catty in the morning for one yuan and eight, and now I count you one yuan and seven." ?”

Hearing the butcher's words, Wu Jingrong glanced at the pig's trotters placed on the wooden rack, and asked the butcher with some puzzlement: "Boss! People in Hancheng like to eat pig's trotters, and they like to eat the front hooves. What did you do before?" How did the hooves remain until now? Could it be the meat of a sick pig?"

Hearing Wu Jingrong's question, the butcher immediately became unhappy. He picked up the pig's trotters on the wooden board, and said to Wu Jingrong with some dissatisfaction: "Little brother! I don't like hearing what you say. Look at me. The color of the pork, does it look like the meat of a sick pig?"

"I, Lao Zhong, set up a stall in the market at the end of the street to sell meat. The pork that was sold was freshly slaughtered every morning. The pork that was not sold that day was sent to my brother's bun shop to make meat buns. If this pig's front hoof It wasn’t yesterday that I promised an old client, and I won’t keep it till now.”

Wu Jingrong heard the butcher's answer and saw the righteous indignation on the butcher's face, and immediately realized that the butcher in front of him was a person who couldn't make jokes, and quickly said with a smile: "Boss! I'm just joking with you." , you must not take it seriously, I bought this pig's trotter, please help me shave the hair and cut the joints better."

The butcher's expression softened when he heard Wu Jingrong's words. He picked up the scale on the wooden board, hooked the skin of the pig's trotter skillfully, and said to Wu Jingrong, "Little brother! This pig's trotter weighs six Forty liang per catty, if you count one yuan and seventy cents per catty, the total is ten yuan and eighty-eight cents."

Hearing what the butcher said, Wu Jingrong took out 11 yuan from his pocket, and did not forget to tell the butcher, "Boss! I give you the money, but you must clean up the trotters for me."

When the butcher heard Wu Jingrong's words, he took the money from Wu Jingrong, and after giving Wu Jingrong the rest of the money, he immediately picked up the butcher's knife and began to clean up the pig's trotters.

After Wu Jingrong bought the pig's trotters, he brought two little maids to buy some lo mei at the pier, and then took the two little girls to the pier for a boat ride.

"Boss Wu! You have been there these days, but I haven't seen you take the ferry for several days." The boat boss who was in charge of rowing saw Wu Jingrong leading the two little girls into the boat, and immediately greeted Wu Jingrong enthusiastically. .

Wu Jingrong heard the question from the boat boss, and replied with a smile: "I went to Yangcheng some time ago, and I just came back today."

Ever since Wu Jingrong set up a factory on the edge of the pier, Wu Jingrong has become a celebrity in the pier area, and he has become the person these boatmen want to make friends with. Hearing Wu Jingrong's answer, the boat boss said with a smile: "Boss Wu! Noon in your village The two young men in my boat went back to Hewan Village in my boat."

"At that time, I saw that they were carrying a lot of luggage, so I asked them where to go back, and they told me that they went to Yangcheng. At first, I didn't believe what they said, but now that you say it, I believe it. gone."

"Boss Wu! I heard from young people in your village that the building in Yangcheng is more than [-] stories high. People who live in the building can go from the first floor to the [-]-something storey in an instant by taking the electric ladder instead of taking the stairs. Lou, is this true?" The boat lady who was at the helm suddenly remembered the news she heard at noon when she heard the boss of the boat, and immediately confirmed the news to Wu Jingrong curiously.

When Wu Jingrong heard the boat lady's question, he didn't need to use his brain, and immediately guessed that the person who said these words must be Wu Jingping. When he saw the people on the ferry, because of the boat lady's words, they all showed curious expressions and smiled. He nodded and replied, "There are many buildings with more than [-] floors in Yangcheng. As for the electric ladder you mentioned just now, it is actually called an elevator."

"Boss Wu! Is the elevator the kind in the movie, where you open the door, walk into a room that looks like a cabinet, and then use a cable to pull the cabinet upstairs." A member of the public immediately remembered the situation introduced by Wu Jingrong. He asked Wu Jingrong curiously about the clip he saw in the movie.

Hearing the question from the crowd, Wu Jingrong nodded with a smile, and replied: "That's right! That's the elevator, but the elevator you mentioned is an old-fashioned elevator. The doors of the elevator now are automatic, and the speed Much faster than the old-fashioned elevators."
