Chapter 5 Tips for getting girls to feed themselves

"Boss, order fried chicken tenders."

"Young man, see if this works."

In front of the chicken tenders stand, the young stall owner pointed to the chopping board, on which there was a large pile of raw chicken tenders dipped in powder.

"Weigh it."

After weighing, Luman glanced at the electronic scale. This kind of platform scale has digital green screens on the front and back, showing the price and weight figures, but now that the little hands and feet are passive, the side facing Luman is gray.

"Okay, it's 20 yuan in total."

People in Cao County recall the prices in the past, and they often say with emotion, "the money in the past is (worth) money".

20 yuan is a small amount after more than ten years, but now it is 2006. Lu Man remembers that the house price of his home is 780 yuan per square meter. The general salary for the salesperson in his clothing store is 600 yuan per month. Garment workers are paid 800 yuan/month.

This is worth haggling with the stall owner.

Lu Man looked at it and said: "This pile is too much, there are only two of us, if we can't eat it, the boss will help us divide it in half."

The stall owner took more than half off the scale, leaving only a small portion: "Is it okay to keep this much?"

The stall owner quickly glanced at Lu Man. Although he is about 1.8 meters tall, his face is fair and comfortable, and the stubble is clean and it can be seen that it is still green. It is typical of young people who have nothing to do. It is confirmed that he is just a young, A middle school student with little experience.

"Twenty dollars."

Gu Lingyi, who was behind Lu Man, tugged on Lu Man's arm anxiously. The quantity and price were not right without looking at the display.

The stall owner picked up the net and was about to put the fried food into the pot.

Lu Man raised his eyebrows, smiled and said: "I didn't say I want the one on the scale, I want the rest."

The stall owner's hand stopped in the air, and he paused for two seconds before saying, "I'll weigh it again..."

"No need." Lu Man said with a smile, "The ones just weighed are all 20 yuan, this one is 12 yuan, and the other must be [-] yuan."

Lu Man continued: "Your family has been selling here for several years and has a good reputation. The scales are sure to be accurate, and we can trust them!"

"Hahaha!" The nearby stall owners, who love to listen to the movement and talk about the mountains, are tilting their heads to watch the excitement here. After listening to Lu Man's words, they all laughed out loud.

The young stall owner's expression was not good, but Lu Man quickly put the money into his cash box, so he had no choice but to fry the chicken tenders with a straight face.

This stall was originally close to the No. [-] Middle School. After he took over the stall, the students he met all looked like they couldn't wake up.

I am used to deceiving people, I didn't expect to meet someone who didn't follow the routine today, and I was unprepared for a while, and I was defrauded.

"Little nephew." The old uncle who sold vegetable pancakes at the side wiped the sweat with a white towel around his neck, and pointed to the chicken tenders stall with the hand holding the towel, "Walk by the river, how can you not get wet?" Shoes. Stand still on dry shore."

Standing on the dry shore, of course, the implication is to do business according to one's duty.

"Sigh, today's kids have a lot of tricks." The young stall owner admitted his loss, and he still had a sly look on his lips to try to get cheap, "I was smart when I was young, but I may not be so when I grow up."

"You!" Before Lu Man said anything, Gu Lingyi, who had been hiding behind him, suddenly became angry and glared at the stall owner.

Lu Man looked at her in surprise. This guy was obviously timid and scared to death. Using the words before his rebirth to describe him, he was a full-scale social phobia, but now he rushed forward like a little animal protecting his food.

Lu Man gently grabbed her wrist and shook it to signal her not to worry.Gu Lingyi's courage was also one-off, she lost her breath after a few seconds, and then hid half a body behind him.

"We are half a catty, half a catty, half a catty." Lu Man kept smiling, and said to the old uncle who was the owner of the vegetable pancake stall next to him, "Uncle, a catty used to be 16 taels, do you know how the 16 taels came from?"

"I haven't been to school, so how do I know this? It was passed down in ancient times." The old man Caijianbing shook his head and smiled, "You know, college students, tell me about it?"

Lu Man slowly said: "The old scales of the ancients were 16 taels a catty, and they took the sum of the Big Dipper, the Six Stars of the South Dipper, and the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou. It is just to warn people not to be short of catties or taels, and to be short of one, two, three. The second is loss of fortune, loss of salary, loss of life, and any further shortage will cause loss of Nandou."

Uncle Cai Panbing was used to seeing people coming and going, so he immediately figured out who Lu Man was speaking to, and he simply took it as a joke: "Hey, as the old saying goes, Nandou is the life and death of Nandou, no matter how short it is, it will be missing Terrible. This blessing is more powerful than wealth!"

The owner of the chicken tenders stall had just put the fried food in a paper bag, when he heard the conversation between the two of them, his expression changed.

His father, the old stall owner, accidentally fell and was admitted to the hospital. He was injured for a hundred days. There is no certainty when he will recover quickly.

Lu Man took the bag of chicken tenders and two bamboo sticks from him, and called Gu Lingyi who was beside him to leave.

Gu Lingyi lowered her head thoughtfully, taking advantage of her inattention, Lu Man put one hand behind her back and snapped one of the two bamboo sticks into three or five pieces.

"Here, eat it while it's hot." Putting the only remaining bamboo skewer into the bag of chicken tenders, Lu Man handed it to her.

Gu Lingyi weighed it in his hands a few times, showing a surprised look: "This one is close to 15 yuan."

She poked a piece of fried chicken fillet with a bamboo stick, and stuffed it into her mouth with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

After eating a few more mouthfuls, Gu Lingyi raised her head and said to Lu Man, "Brother, after the college entrance examination, you seem to be more cheerful and confident."

"Oh? Really."

She felt that Lu Man's changes were due to the end of the college entrance examination and the disappearance of academic pressure.

"If it's before the college entrance examination, you probably wouldn't dare to take the initiative to make trouble for your lord. You'll listen to me and change families together in desperation."

Gu Lingyi rolled his eyes lightly at him: "How can you still lie to me like 'I have the same opinion and listen to you' like now, hmph, you can only lie to me."

Brother will make it bad.But she didn't hate it, on the contrary, she thought it would be more interesting to get along like this.

"You can't react by yourself, so you can't blame me." Lu Man shrugged.

Gu Lingyi smiled: "That's fine, brother, you've been worrying a lot throughout the third year of high school, and I'm very... well, Jiaer and I are very worried about you."

Lu Manxin said that if he lived for at least ten more years, he would have to grow a little bit more.

Being introverted is not a bad thing, but it is a pity that ordinary people are not allowed to be introverted in later life.

Gu Lingyi was killing the snacks, and looked back by chance, suddenly she became happy, and bumped Lu Man's arm with her elbow: "Brother, the stall owner's scale is on. He turned the scale back!"

Lu Man nodded, and it seemed that the harsh words had worked: "This may be the only benefit of feudal superstition, so that those who do bad things will be in awe."

……

Eating and chatting along the way, Gu Lingyi glanced at Lu Man from time to time, but she felt that it was especially easy to meet Lu Man's eyes today, and in the end she didn't dare to lift her eyes.

The elder brother who was always Mumu used to walk without looking sideways, why would he look at her from time to time?Gu Lingyi shook her head, it must be an illusion.

Near the door of the house, Gu Lingyi couldn't eat anymore, so she carried the paper bag of chicken tenders and dangled back and forth.

Lu Man saw that she was in a good mood, so he could tease her again before parting.

"Lingyi, I haven't eaten a bite yet."

"Ah~" Gu Lingyi finally realized, "Brother, I also have one in front of my house, let me buy you a new one."

"But I want to eat now."

She opened the paper bag of chicken tenders, and murmured in confusion, "It's strange, why only one stick is given for the amount for two people?"

"Ah—" Lu Man opened his mouth, signaling that he needs to be fed.

Gu Lingyi panicked, and took a small step back: "You eat by yourself."

"I'm holding the medicine." Lu Man pretended to be struggling, as if the Huajuhong in his arms was very heavy, "It's so heavy that I can't even lift it with my hands."

Gu Lingyi was very uncomfortable with his shamelessness, a piece of medicinal material weighed by how much money and taels, she would feel light when she hugged it, how heavy could it be?

No wonder he was so kind today and asked to carry something.

Routines are routines!
"No...no way." Gu Lingyi's face flushed slightly, "And there's only one bamboo stick, I've used it, brother."

"Use this stick of yours."

"no!"

She tried her best to recall, and remembered that it was Lu Man who took the snacks from the stall.The bamboo sticks were very long, and they were placed in a tube and tied to the pillars of the booth, so they were very conspicuous. She clearly saw that the stall owner gave them two.

Gu Lingyi's eyes widened slightly, she was amazed how a boy's face could be so thick!
"Brother, you deliberately played tricks..."

Lu Man interrupted her and said, "This stick has a sharp end and a flat end, can you just use the end you haven't used?"

"Emmmm..." Gu Lingyi thought about it for a while, and it really made sense, besides, she had already rejected it several times, and if she continued to refuse, she might make Lu Man sad.

She turned the stick, poked a piece, and handed it to Lu Manzui: "Here."

Lu Man chewed a few snacks, thinking that Lu Xun's famous saying was really incisive: Chinese people always like to make compromises.

For example, if you ask Gu Lingyi to feed you directly with the same bamboo stick, she will definitely not allow it; but if you propose to change it, she will feel that it is harmonious and willing to feed you.

Even this Hanhan only cares about feeding, and forgets that the feeding play is too intimate for the two of them now, she actually doesn't need to feed.

Lu Man looked at her little face with reluctance, the more he was like this, the more he wanted to bully her.

"Huh? It doesn't taste good. The stall owner didn't add salt on purpose." Lu Man said deliberately.
