Chapter 856: Seeking Devil Fruit for a new job!)

Zhao Xu asked the old beggar in confusion: "Senior, what kind of job requires you to wear this kind of clothes?"

"Begging for food!" The old beggar tore off a chicken leg and chewed it with relish. "Do you think you should dress decently when you go out to beg for food? How can you go begging for food if you are dressed like this?"

"beg?"

Zhao Xu looked surprised and said to the old beggar: "Senior, if you are short of money, I have it here. There is no need to go to the streets to beg, right?"

"This is a test for you. If you don't want to heal your internal injuries, you don't have to wear these clothes."

Without saying a word, Zhao Xu took off his coat and changed into the ragged clothes on the ground.

I don't know how long these clothes have not been washed, and there is a sour smell all over my body.

After changing clothes, the old beggar said to Zhao Xu: "Boy, you haven't eaten yet! Come and eat together." After saying that, he unscrewed another chicken leg and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took it easily. He was afraid that he would go begging on the street and not be able to eat for a while, so he took the chicken drumstick and gnawed it.

The old beggar opened a bottle of wine and ate the chicken legs with relish while drinking the wine.

The old beggar had a good appetite. He ate a chicken leg and a piece of pig ear. After eating, he wiped his greasy hands on his body.

Zhao Xu's eyes widened, he didn't expect the old beggar to have such an operation.

A rich man like him has received higher education since he was a child. Washing hands or wiping hands with paper towels after meals is a normal thing. Zhao Xu really can't stand the old beggar. However, in line with the principle of doing as the Romans do, Zhao Xu

After Xu finished eating the chicken legs, he wiped his greasy hands on his clothes.

The old beggar looked at Zhao Xu and said with a smile: "Let's go! Today is your first day of work. No matter what method you use, you have to beg for five hundred yuan. You are not allowed to bribe others with money. You must find a way yourself."

Beg by one’s own means.”

The old beggar handed Zhao Xu a small basin, saying it was useful for asking for money.

After leaving the shack, Zhao Xu asked the old beggar where he went to beg, and the old beggar said it was five kilometers away.

"Senior, let's go by car?" Zhao Xu suggested.

"Why drive? Let's walk!"

The old beggar was holding a branch in his hand, with his hands behind his back, and humming an unknown "Qinhuai Ditty".

Zhao Xu followed the old beggar closely. It seemed that the old beggar was walking very slowly. But no matter how Zhao Xu quickened his pace, he just couldn't keep up.

The two walked for a full hour and arrived at a bustling commercial street.

The old beggar found a nook and sat down in a place called "Hangshang Department Store" and said to Zhao Xu: "Okay! You start working, I will sleep here. When will you beg until five?"

One hundred yuan, wake me up again. By the way, you have to wake me up at noon, and then buy me some steamed buns to eat." As he said that, he leaned against the corner and fell asleep quickly.

Zhao Xu squatted on the ground with a small basin asking for money in front of him. He imitated the beggars on TV and kept shouting to passers-by: "Okay! My old man at home is sick. I hope everyone can help."

Be kind and help me!”

There were quite a few people passing by, and in the whole morning, I only received a dozen yuan in donations. This was far from the five hundred yuan prescribed by the old beggar.

After the old beggar woke up, he saw that Zhao Xu only got more than ten yuan from begging, so he told Zhao Xu: "I'm hungry, use this money to buy some meat buns."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately took the money to a nearby bun shop to buy buns. As soon as he entered, he was kicked out by the shop owner. He said that it was unlucky for the beggar to enter their shop and he would not be able to do business in the shop for a long time.

"I came in to buy steamed buns." Zhao Xu said to the clerk who chased him away.

"Go, go, go begging somewhere else. Don't come to our store to do business." The clerk said impatiently: "Begging at a young age is not a good thing to do. It's really rubbish!"

The clerk spat at Zhao Xu and turned around and entered the bun shop.

Zhao Xu clenched his fists for a long time. He didn't expect people to be so indifferent. This clerk obviously looked down upon others.

Normally, he would definitely clean up this bun shop. But at this time, firstly, he had to quickly make buns for the old beggar, and secondly, his task of begging for 500 yuan had not been completed. Furthermore, Zhao Xu was too lazy to argue with the clerk.

.

Zhao Xu ran through three streets in a row before buying a few buns at an inconspicuous bun shop.

The shopkeepers were a middle-aged couple who looked very honest. They did not ignore Zhao Xu because he was a beggar, but instead gave him a few more buns.

Zhao Xu said to the shop owner and his wife: "Your kindness will be rewarded!"

The couple shopkeepers smiled and didn't take it seriously.

After Zhao Xu came back with the buns, the old beggar looked unhappy and asked Zhao Xu: "Boy, why have you been gone for so long?"

Zhao Xu truthfully told the old beggar what had just happened.

After hearing this, the old beggar smiled at Zhao Xu and said, "Do you know now why I asked you to beg on the street?"

"I don't know!" Monk Zhao Xu Ru Zhang Er was confused and shook his head.

While eating steamed buns with relish, the old beggar said: "Being a beggar will make you see the world clearly and appreciate the various aspects of life. This is reality! Most people will spurn you and insult you, but there are a few people.

I will treat you sincerely. Even if you are down and out, you must keep your heart pure. There will eventually be people who are good to you in this world. Is this bun from my mom’s bun shop?"

"Huh?, yes! It's called Lao Niang's Steamed Bun Shop."

"Remember to repay others!"

"Don't worry, senior! I will repay them."

The old beggar nodded and said, "After eating the buns, continue begging! You, a rich man, don't even have the ability to survive, right? Don't let me down." After that, he took the buns to the corner and ate them.

Zhao Xu was thinking hard about countermeasures while eating steamed buns.

Most people nowadays are kind. It’s just that their kindness has been trampled on by others. Many people no longer believe that good people will be rewarded, so they are unwilling to give alms to beggars. Especially those with sound hands and feet like Zhao Xu

If a person doesn't work hard and instead begs on the street, it's strange that passers-by will give him money.

It seems that a change of strategy is necessary.

While Zhao Xu was eating steamed buns, he was thinking about how he could get five hundred yuan.

This is indeed a big challenge for Zhao Xu!

After Li Qingqing took Leng Ao and Nong Quan to the "Flower Market on Osmanthus Road", they arrived at Yunyao's flower shop. She asked Leng Ao and Nong Quan to wait outside and walked into the flower shop alone.

Yunyao was arranging the bouquet when she looked up and saw Li Qingqing walking in. She saw that Li Qingqing was well-dressed and very beautiful. At first glance, she looked like a wealthy lady from a wealthy family or a rich lady.

Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward, greeted Li Qingqing and said, "Madam, what flowers do you want to buy?"

Li Qingqing saw that in addition to lilies, there were also baby's breath in the store. The scent of lilies was particularly fresh and pleasant.

Li Qingqing said to Yunyao: "Put a bouquet of lilies with some baby's breath."

"Okay! Are you sending it to a friend or a relative?" Yunyao asked Li Qingqing.

"Send it to a friend!" Li Qingqing smiled.

Yunyao smiled like a flower and said: "Okay!" With skillful techniques, she quickly tied the bouquet and handed it to Li Qingqing and said: "Two hundred and eighty yuan in total!"

After Li Qingqing paid the money, she did not accept the lily from Yunyao.

"Ma'am, your flowers?"

Li Qingqing smiled sweetly and said to Yunyao: "The flowers are for you!"

"Give it to me?" Yun Yao looked surprised.

Li Qingqing took the initiative to reach out to Yun Yao and said with a smile: "Hello Yun Yao, my name is Li Qingqing, and I am the wife of Xiao Dao's friend Zhao Xu. I have a very good relationship with Xiao Dao!"

Yesterday, when Yunyao and Chen Xiaodao were together, they heard Zhao Xu's name. Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman in front of her was Zhao Xu's wife.

"Hello!" Yunyao shook hands with Li Qingqing. "Miss Li, did you come to see me for anything? Why didn't Xiaodao come?"

"He's injured!" Li Qingqing said.

"What? Injured!" Yun Yao looked surprised.

Chen Xiaodao is ranked ninth on the "Heaven Ranking". He has great martial arts skills. I don't know who can hurt him.

"With the skill of the knife, how could he be injured?" Yun Yao asked anxiously.
