About This Novel
Ten days after Leo came to the village, everyone in Banla Village knew that the Eight Immortals had picked up a beggar for the Pan family troupe, and the credit for the microphone must go to the barber Lao Ji. There are two unwritten rules for Lao Ji to shave his head in the village. First, they only shave in their own house. The reason is very simple. The hair stubble that falls on the ground belongs to their family. Short hair stubble mixed with mud can be used to repair walls and courtyards. Long hair, after being washed and smoothed, can be sold to a county purchasing shop and replaced with one or two ounces of pot salt. The second is not shaving on one day but shaving on two days. Every time you use the scissors, you need to make a fire and boil water, and making a fire requires a match. It is okay if there are more people, but it is not cost-effective if there are fewer people. Ten days after Leo came to the village, Lao Ji lit five fires in his yard. The people who had their heads shaved and the people watching happened to be from Banla Village.
