Chapter 181 Pigeon Market

At the Foreign Affairs Office, Chen Ru, who was wearing a silk crescent-colored cheongsam, was sorting out information. She had been working at the Foreign Affairs Office for several months because she had successfully translated a large book, and then Sister Zhen handed over a professional translation matter. Gave it to her. Although Chen Ru majored in foreign languages, she had never dabbled in electricity. It was precisely because of this that she borrowed a lot of information from her colleagues.

"Senior, we meet again."

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Chen Ru turned around in surprise, "Yes, your junior, how did you know I'm here?"

Qin Ming is a legend. Others were studying seriously in class, but this one just asked for leave and disappeared without a trace. Later, she went to the dormitory to look for Qin Ming several times, but no one was there. Face, I didn't expect Qin Ming to come here today. Chen Ru was naturally happy, "You sit there for a while. I have a job to hand over later. After that, let's go to eat. It's been such a long time." See, I suffered so much when you deceived me in the first place, I have to settle the debt."

"Senior sister, you can eat this food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. When did I lie to you?"

"You're a bad guy and you're still pretending? You're obviously the head chef of Fengzeyuan, and yet you tricked me into treating me to dinner." Thinking of her stupid look back then, Chen Ru blushed a little. Who would have thought that she was alone in the Four-Nine City catering industry? A veteran gourmet in the gourmet world, he couldn't even recognize the famous chef of Fengzeyuan, which was a disgrace to his grandma's house.

"Hey, you said this, I don't think I lied to you, after all, you didn't ask at the beginning." Qin Ming spread his hands, with a sincere look on his face, Chen Ru was furious, why is this so strange? She had a headache. Who would have thought that the savior she grabbed at random would not only have amazing medical skills, but also have superb cooking skills?

"Okay, senior sister, let's get down to business first. I'm coming here today. I asked you to help translate. Here are the raw materials. You can take a look first."

Chen Ru was surprised when she heard the translation coming from Qin Ming's mouth. If she remembered correctly, Qin Ming should still be a freshman. After all, according to Beiqing school regulations, you cannot be promoted to the next level without taking the academic assessment. Class.

"Okay, then I will help you take a look first, but as promised, I have more business to do later... Hey, is this information about electricity?" Chen Ru opened the information, and there was no sound immediately. After a while, She raised her head in surprise and said, "Junior, don't tell me that you are the one who translated the information."

Qin Ming nodded affirmatively, "If you are waiting for Professor Liang, then it can only be me."

"You're not a freshman, why did you go to Professor Liang's place?" Chen Ru heard that Professor Liang, who asked the Foreign Affairs Office to translate the materials this time, is a professor who specializes in graduation thesis.

"I took part in the school's grade-skipping assessment not long ago, and passed it successfully, so that's what happened." Qin Ming briefly talked for a few words, and Chen Ru's eyes widened. After a while, she exclaimed, "You are indeed a junior. you."

"Because I don't know much about professional terminology, it will take some time to translate these materials. How about this? You can pick it up in a week. I will translate it for you then. You can use it first." Since you are following Professor Liang, That proves that these materials are related to Qin Ming's graduation thesis. Now that it's only more than a month, Chen Ru can only make herself work overtime.

"A week? Senior sister, is this too hard for you?"

"Go, go, you feel sorry for yourself. After the translation work is completed, can't you just invite me to go to Fengze Garden for a meal?" Chen Ru didn't talk nonsense to Qin Ming, "You go out first, I want something from here." Let’s get to work.”

This... is really a workaholic, but people in this era are generally like this, working hard to dedicate themselves to a goal.

"What's a meal at Fengzeyuan? If you really want to eat, I can personally cook a meal for you to express my gratitude." Qin Ming was no longer an employee of Fengzeyuan and ran over again. The kitchen is a bit inappropriate.

"This is what you said. If you dare to default on your debt then, let's see how I deal with you." Chen Ru threatened Qin Ming with her teeth and claws, and then drove him away. It was obvious that she wanted to devote herself to the great work of translation. went.

"I used to feel that being a translator was not as enjoyable as being a diplomat, but I didn't expect that I would meet Qin Ming because of this. It seems that the translation work is still very good!" Chen Ru was delighted with the speed of translating the information. They all followed a few minutes faster.

After handing Li Lin a note of leave, Qin Ming wandered around Sijiu City, looking at the scenery, and then went to the moat to watch the old men fishing. Time soon came at night, and he randomly found a state-owned canteen and ate his food. After filling his stomach, Qin Ming headed to Dongzhimen.

There is a pigeon market outside Dongzhimen. It is closed during the day and only open at night. Qin Ming frequented the pigeon market in his previous life. He naturally understands the location and rules of the pigeon market. He first disguises himself, and then Head to Pigeon City.

The pigeon market is located in a small alley, and there are people on duty outside the alley. People who go in to sell things need to pay a fee. Qin Ming went in empty-handed, so naturally no one asked him to charge.

The alleys outside the city are complicated and criss-crossed. It looks like a small alley, but when you go in, you can find that it is very big inside. When Qin Ming arrived, there were already a lot of people, but because it was dark, there was no one. Knowing what is being sold there, when a buyer comes over, he will turn on the flashlight to look at the goods, and then there is a deal in his sleeve.

Although there are many people in the pigeon market, the whole alley is silent, and no one makes a sound. No wonder there is a saying of a ghost market. These people are wandering around without making a sound. If this is not a ghost market, what is it?

Qin Ming did not turn on the flashlight. What he needed to find were dairy goats or cows. However, the current cows were unlikely to flow to the pigeon market. However, he could try dairy goats. He didn't know if he was unlucky and didn't encounter them. As a dairy goat, he had no choice but to turn around and return.

Outside Dongzhimen, Huzi and his sister kept wandering. They looked at the Pigeon Market from time to time. "Brother," the sister pulled Huzi's arm, "Why do you think the entrance fee to the Pigeon Market is only 10 cents? It’s so expensive, we simply can’t get it together.”

"Sister, don't worry, we won't go to the pigeon market. We'll just wait here for those people to come out." Huzi touched his sister's head, "Our lamb is a good thing, and someone will definitely replace it."

"Huzi, Nizi, otherwise forget it. It's not easy for you to catch these two sheep. Let's eat and recuperate ourselves." A low voice came from the cart not far behind the two. , "The doctor said that my mother's disease will cost a lot of money. With all that money, it's better to stay and buy food for us Huzi Nizi."

"No, mother, dad is gone. You can't let anything happen to you again. This lamb is very popular, not to mention there is a sheep that is producing milk. I heard that some people in the city like to drink milk. Maybe they will treat this lamb Give me the lamb." Hu Zi looked determined, but Hu Zi Niang just sighed softly.

There is a drought today, and the grass in the mountains is not growing much. Who would spend a lot of money to buy this milk-producing sheep, but there is a high possibility of taking it back and killing it for meat.

Qin Ming has a keen ear. He heard someone talking shortly after leaving the pigeon market. After listening to the conversation of several people, he was instantly happy. "This is really a sleepy person who gave me a pillow. He was worried about not being able to get milk." Lamb, the lamb was automatically delivered to the door." He immediately walked over.

"Guys, I want to listen to you, but I just heard you say you have a lamb in your hand? I wonder if you can let me see it?" As soon as Qin Ming appeared, they were frightened, but when Qin Ming said that he wanted to When looking at the lamb, several people's faces showed surprise.

"Comrade, please come with me." Huzi walked out. He was a half-grown boy, tall and thick, and very strong, so he took Qin Ming directly to the cart where their mother was, "Comrade, The lamb is inside. It is a wild lamb we caught in the mountains. There is also one that is producing milk. I can assure you that the lamb is very good and has not been harmed at all. At that time, we needed fifty yuan to replace it. If If you give me fifty, then we will continue reading. If you don’t have it on hand, then we don’t have to continue.”

"Fifty yuan is nothing to me, but I want to know if you have anything worth fifty yuan." Because this is not a pigeon market, Qin Ming was very cautious throughout the negotiation with Hu Zi. He spoke softly and paid even more attention to the surrounding situation. If anything went wrong at all, he would run away immediately.

"Really? That's great, then take a look!" Huzi lifted up the tattered quilt on the cart, and then saw two little lambs whose whole bodies were tied with ropes and whose mouths were blocked by rags. He was quietly nestling next to the woman's leg.

After seeing that the big lamb was producing milk, Qin Ming finally settled down.

"These two lambs add up to seventy kilograms. I've already inquired about it. The meat at Pigeon Market is sold for one piece, and there is no charge. We didn't kill it, so we'll give you fifty pounds. What do you think?" Huzi is here I was trying hard to sell, but I still felt uneasy. Even though the two sheep weighed seventy kilograms in total, after skinning and removing the internal organs, they only weighed about fifty kilograms at most, and this fifty kilograms also included the bones. , so the price was definitely high, but he had nothing to do. He had calculated that it would cost forty-five yuan to treat his mother, and he also had to buy some nutritional supplements for her to replenish her body, so fifty yuan could not be lower.

The young man's inner thoughts were clearly visible on his face. Qin Ming didn't say anything. He just said, "Wait for me here. I'll get the money right away."

It is impossible to go out with a huge sum of fifty yuan casually these days, so when Huzi heard that Qin Ming was going to get the money, he had no doubts at all, "Comrade, you go get the money, we will give it to you" You stay here for an hour. If you don't come back within an hour, I will have to change with someone else. After all, my mother is very ill and I don't dare to delay it any longer."

Speaking of this, Huzi's voice became quieter and quieter. After all, he also felt that he was pushing too far, and he didn't know if the other party would get angry and fall out.

"Sure, I'll do as you say." Qin Ming was not unhappy. From the conversation just now, he could already feel that the young man in front of him was a very filial man. He would do nothing to treat his mother's illness. Well, when the old Qin family tried to raise money for him to buy medicine, didn't they also suffer a lot of looks from people everywhere?

Qin Ming turned around and went into the city. He found an empty wall and entered the system space. He selected a few of the elixirs and then started working in the system space.

After about ten minutes, Qin Ming walked out again.

"Little brother, here is fifty yuan, would you like to order it?"

"Okay!" Huzi didn't hesitate. When he sat down and prepared some money, Qin Ming kindly handed over the flashlight, "Get under the quilt."

"Thank you!" Huzi did not refuse. He got under the shabby quilt with a flashlight. After a while, he came out, "Comrade, the amount of money is correct. These two lambs are yours. Where do you live?" Where can I take you back?"

"No, I have a place to put them. You can just give them to me. By the way, I think this lady is very sick. I also studied medicine for a period of time. My master gave me a pill. It is said to be life-saving at critical moments. If you can trust me, will you give one to my aunt?"

"Isn't this good? We are already very grateful to you for exchanging lambs with us. How can we take your things again? We can't help it." At this time, Huzi, his sister and Huzi were lying on the flatbed truck. Mother, they all refused.

"There is no reason to take back what I gave out. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away." After Qin Ming finished speaking, he picked up a lamb in one hand and hurried away. His speed was so fast that it was almost as fast as the blink of an eye. No one can be seen anymore.

"This... mother, are we meeting gods?" Huzi looked at the pill left by Qin Ming with a somewhat excited expression. Huzi's mother also felt strange, "Forget it, give the medicine to mother. Well, we have met a good person today. He can replace our lamb, and the medicine he gives must be good. You brothers and sisters will kowtow to my benefactor for me."

Although Qin Ming covered his face, his voice did not sound like that of an old man. Hu Ziniang was worried that her life would be shortened if she kowtowed to express gratitude, so she asked her two children to kowtow on her behalf.

Huzi and his sister were both obedient and obediently knelt down in the direction where Qin Ming left. Fortunately, Qin Ming had already left at this time, otherwise it would have been embarrassing to see this scene.

"That woman has tuberculosis and years of malnutrition, which is why she is in this situation. With the pills I left, she doesn't have to go to the hospital. Plus the money, the mother and son will have to survive." It won’t be a problem in the next few years.”

Qin Ming walked on the way home in a happy mood. In his previous life, he saw too many people starving to death. Now that he has a chance to do it again in this life, he can save just a few, and he won't be trying to name a few. , just to make myself feel at ease.

Don't mention it, it's still very satisfying to do good deeds without leaving a name.

On the other side, Hu Zi Niang led the children to kneel down and thank Qin Ming, and then swallowed the pill.

"Mom, let me take you to the hospital." Huzi asked his sister to get on the cart, then quickly pulled up the cart and ran towards the hospital.

Now that I have money, my mother’s illness can finally be cured.
