Chapter 826 Wen Saner really has a way!
Wen Saner was very satisfied with his frugality because he could eat four dishes but only ate two, and could drink a bottle of wine but only drank sweet potato stew.
This was clearly a manifestation of thriftiness, and thinking of this, he somewhat forgave himself for not having worked for the past few days.
He was always good at forgiving himself.
When the food and wine came, Wen Saner began to eat and drink happily.
When one's body becomes thin, he can't hold much wine. After drinking more than one or two ounces of wine, he will feel a little drunk. After drinking two ounces of wine, his head will become confused.
He even thought about whether he should ask Director Niu for a job the next time he met him. Even if he couldn't ask him to give him a position, he could just work for the Lin family on a monthly basis, which would be a thousand times better than what he was doing now.
But on second thought, the Lin family has cars and may not need a rickshaw driver. If I insist on asking, it might annoy Director Niu.
In this way, the only bit of money from incense offerings would be wasted.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. This worry came from the loss and anxiety in his heart - the life of not working and only eating and drinking for several days had worn away his remaining fighting spirit. If he had to go back to the life of working hard and eating corn bread in a few days, how could he survive?
But Wen Saner was open-minded and waved his hand, "Bring me another two ounces of wine!"
We’ll talk about the future later. I still have two dollars in my hand. If I save on food and drink, I can still last for a few days!
After eating and drinking, Wen Saner staggered towards the car factory.
He has been pulling a rickshaw for many years and is familiar with the streets. He never takes the main road, but instead takes the smaller roads to save time.
As I was walking, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom, so I found a deserted spot near a wall and untied my belt.
Suddenly he heard a commotion in front of him. Wen Saner shivered and looked down, finding that his pants were wet.
As the saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave. Wen Saner was furious. He tied his belt hastily and walked forward, wanting to see who was not sleeping and causing trouble outside in the middle of the night.
When I walked out of the alley and looked forward, I was startled.
There were about twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers standing around the Jishidiang Pharmacy. Those on the periphery were holding rifles, and the leading ones were holding muskets. Among them was a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton shorts and his hands in his sleeves. He had regular features and was indeed a good-looking man.
But he was assisting in the capture, even yelling, "There's a backyard! Don't let him get away!"
Wen Saner took two steps back and made a "Pooh" sound!
Dog traitor!
A sense of superiority soon surged in his heart. Even if he was doing badly, he was not a traitor!
Thinking of this, Wen Saner suddenly had an idea. He thought about it and wondered if Director Niu knew about what he had witnessed today.
He ran all the way to the gate of Lin's house, but was stopped by the doorman.
Wen Saner tried hard to straighten his tongue and speak, "I...I have something important to report to Director Niu!"
The concierge didn't look down on him. He just saw that he was drunk and advised him, "Director Niu is not here. You should go back and rest first. Come back tomorrow!"
Wen Saner shouted, "I really have something important to tell you! Please inform them and tell them that Wen Saner has something to report. Director Niu knows me. I have delivered something to the Prince Chun's mansion!"
Seeing that what he said was very convincing, the waiter asked him to sit in the back room and made him some tea. "Warm yourself up here. Director Niu really hasn't come back yet. I will inform you when he comes back."
Even the tea used to entertain guests in the Lin residence's lobby is of the best quality. Although Wen Saner couldn't tell whether the tea was good or bad, he also felt that the tea made his mouth water.
This is Lin’s tea!
When the moon was at its zenith, Lin Ze finally returned from the banquet. His car drove into the house through the side door, and the waiter went to report.
After a while, Niu Saner came over, still looking calm and unhurried.
The first thing he asked was, "Wen San'er, you've been waiting for half the night. Are you hungry? Can I make you a bowl of noodles?"
Just these words moved Wen Saner like a grandson. "Director Niu, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. I ate a lot at night. Let me tell you something. Today, after dinner, I was walking back to the factory. When I passed by Jishidiang Pharmacy, I saw a group of Japanese soldiers and a traitor..."
Niu Saner listened very carefully, and at the end he asked, "Did you see what the traitor looked like?"
Wen Saner said this and that.
"Okay, Wen Saner, what you said is very useful. It's so late and the weather is cold, so don't leave. Stay in the gatehouse for the night. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. Eat it and go to sleep warmly. Go back tomorrow morning."
Wen Saner waved his hands after hearing this, "I really can't bother you, I really can't bother you, I can go back by myself!"
Niu Saner smiled and said, "This is the inner city, and your car factory is in the outer city. The city gate is closed, right? Okay, if you want to go back, then let's do this. After you finish eating, I'll have someone take you there. Our car can leave the city."
This was something he could not refuse. Wen Saner ate a bowl of delicious noodles with big pieces of meat. The meat was thick and had three layers of fat, which made oil ooze out of his mouth when he bit it.
The doorman brought a towel, but Wen Saner waved his hands and said, "If you eat such fatty meat and don't leave the oil in your mouth, it would be a waste of food!"
A Ford car was waiting for him at the door, and Wen Saner got in hesitantly.
Then he chatted with the driver casually, about whether it was easy to learn to drive and what the treatment at the Lin residence was like.
Everyone in the Lin residence is influenced by Lin Ze and Director Niu. They are friendly and can get along with people from all walks of life.
When they arrived at the city gate, the Japanese soldiers on guard stopped the car. The driver opened the window and handed over a piece of paper, "This is the Lin Mansion's car, going to the outer city to pick someone up."
The Japanese soldier stood at attention, saluted, and moved the barricades away without saying a word.
Wen Saner was stunned and immediately sat up straight with his back stiff.
When they arrived at the garage, Wen Saner smiled shyly and said, "Big brother, please drive a little further and honk the horn."
The driver smiled and did as he was told.
In fact, there was no need to do this because the people in the factory could hear it. At this time, the noise of the engine was almost the same as that of a tractor. Even if the drivers were sleeping soundly, they would be woken up by the noise.
As soon as they heard that a car was coming to the garage, everyone perked up, wrapped themselves in their coats and went to the door to watch the excitement.
The first person to come out was the owner of the car factory. He blinked and looked at a small Ford car, not knowing what it meant.
Which important person needs a rickshaw at home and sent someone to hire one?
Why use a foreign car when you have a ready-made car?
Immediately afterwards, I saw a familiar figure get out of the car, waved to the driver, and walked into the garage.
"Wen Saner!?"
The garage owner's voice sounded uncertain.
Wen Saner burped, "Hey, did I bother you? I just had dinner at the Lin residence, and Director Niu insisted on sending a car to take me there. I said no, but he didn't want to."
In the past, the boss of the car factory would never have believed it.
But now, smell the alcohol on him, look at his greasy mouth, and then look at this car!
Damn, this Wen Saner really has some ways!
The boss of the car factory bent his waist for some reason and said, "Master Wen, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early? Do you want some midnight snack?"
