Chapter Thirteen: Local Snake
On Chajiao Street in the early morning, the fragrance of fried tea from last night still floats in the sky. A few swallows are chattering on the wires. The big banyan tree at the end of the alley that has experienced decades of changes has become more lush and green, making people feel comfortable looking at it.
.There are only twos and threes of pedestrians. The tea factory works long overtime hours at night, and there are not many people who get up early.
After setting up a trial stall yesterday afternoon, Jiang Hao and others arrived at the stall at the intersection early. Yesterday, they only sold about ten bowls of food, and most of them ended up in the stomachs of these hungry ghosts.
Jiang Hao took out the flour and kneaded it repeatedly on the chopping board to form a ball. The skin made of whole eggs was a little light yellow in color, wrapped in pure minced and hand-beaten meat filling. With the chopsticks, it became "wontons". Snake Zai
Ming took some square dumpling skins, wrapped them with fungus, mushroom, and pork fillings, and pinched a few corners with his hands to make Cantonese-style dumplings.
As soon as the boiler water boiled, the minced pork bones brought by the pork man were blanched and then put into the pot. A layer of white oily flowers appeared in the boiling water.
There is a pot of boiling water next to the bone soup pot. Beef Jingqiang is chopping green onion and coriander in a "whispering" way next to it. He is smashing peppers with a grinding stone cup while Xiaoli and the others bring out the borrowed pot.
Stools and chairs were placed in the open space next to it.
The preparations went on for a long time without realizing it. The people who came and went to open the stall were carrying benches and bamboo dustpans one by one, and chatting with the people at the stall next to them.
The flow of people began to increase, and I heard the sound of the lock clicking from far to near, and followed the sound, and there came a big chicken with paper ties on the other end, holding the lock in the hand, with a small and pointed top.
Bamboo hat.
The hawker wearing a bamboo hat and wearing a paper chicken came to Shi Shiran, blowing his hair and shouting loudly: "Chicken, some are spicy, some are not spicy, for one penny, you can get two."
!]
"It's so interesting." Niu Jingqiang stopped chopping vegetables and muttered to himself and looked at the vendor selling chicken, male and glutinous rice.
It was the first time for several of them to see the novel features of the provincial capital. They stared blankly at the crowds surrounding the vendors vying to buy a small bag containing several green and yellow olives.
"Hey, half the whole bowl."
Seeing them lost in thought, the uncle who was preparing to open a shop next door frowned.
A few people came to their senses and hurriedly picked up the wonton dumplings and poured half of them into the pot.
It took Jiang Hao a while to realize that the only people in his county who knew the term "Half and Half" meant half wontons and half dumplings, both of which could be tasted at once.
In less than five minutes, take out the wonton dumplings with a colander and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, chopped green onion, and pepper, spoon over the bone broth, and half the bowl is done.
"Uncle, are you from Guangning?" Jiang Hao put down the meal.
The uncle glanced at Jiang Hao, looking wary, but nodded without saying anything.
Jiang Hao could only wipe his hands in embarrassment. In the past two days, they had clearly felt that although people on the street would come to eat, most of them would not say much to them, as if they were afraid and kept to themselves.
The problem is, they have just arrived here, which is really strange.
Jiang Hao watched the dining table gradually fill up and fell into busyness.
For two consecutive days, the stall's business was getting better and better, and the taste was so good that they hardly needed to shout too much.
Niu Jingqiang went to pay the room fee and came back. When he came back, he said cheerfully to everyone: "I can't believe it's only been three days. I've almost saved up enough to pay for my trip home."
"It's all thanks to Acridine Hao. Tomorrow, I will redeem the jade."
Snake Zai ordered Jiang Hao Ming Dynasty. He knew that the porky guy was eyeing this piece of jade and wanted to take it for himself. If he redeemed it one day later, he might not be able to get it back.
Jiang Hao nodded, turned around and lit the boiler fire.
Everyone smiled happily and worked harder.
As soon as Niu Jingqiang put down the meal, the people who were chatting and laughing looked up and suddenly got up and ran away.
There was no warning, I was caught off guard.
As soon as Niu Jingqiang and She Zai Ming turned around, they saw all the pots, ladles and ladles in Jiang Hao's hands being thrown to the ground, and several tattooed men stared at them fiercely.
Jiang Hao put away his astonishment and looked at them coldly.
He recognized one of them, the gangster leader who escaped that night, but seeing him hiding behind, it seemed that the boss was someone else.
The cow spirit is strong and the cow temperament is not afraid of death. He rushed up, picked up the knife and said: "You are causing trouble, right? You have the guts to challenge!"
The strong man in the lead snorted, and a grappler held Niu Jingqiang's knife hand down, then stretched out his hand and punched him in the stomach.
"Ah..." Niu Jingqiang let go of the knife in pain and fell to the ground, curling up in pain.
Fuki Mizuki and Issoo Chang quickly helped him up and lay him down on the side.
"Don't be so violent."
A rough scar lay blatantly on his face, which was full of flesh. When he spoke, the muscles on his face twitched, which was both abrupt and scary.
Perhaps because of his overconfidence, his oily hair was combed back, making his face look even bigger. His stout but short figure, wearing vests, shorts and slippers, with a jade shaped like Maitreya Buddha hanging around his neck, were incompatible with his rough and violent image.
He has an unkempt beard, and the big flowery arms on his arms are dazzling.
The visitor had a scary smile on his face, but when he met Jiang Hao's cold eyes, he instantly put away his smile and revealed a fierce gaze.
This person should be a big boss. Jiang Hao analyzed in his mind.
The vendors who originally had stalls on the street ran back when they saw the people coming and disappeared instantly.
Fear, panic.
"We're looking for someone so soon." Jiang Hao looked straight at the person who escaped that night.
The bearded man glanced at the man, then rubbed his nails and approached Jiang Hao.
Seeing this, Xiao Li wanted to step forward and drag Jiang Hao away, but he was thrown away.
"Have you paid the protection fee?" There was a deep anger hidden in the bearded man's seemingly neutral tone.
Jiang Hao picked up the Penny for rolling noodles, walked around the stove and walked to him.
Seeing this, the bearded man's men stepped forward and looked at Jiang Hao arrogantly.
"Why?" Jiang Hao was neither humble nor arrogant, and never flinched.
Haha, it’s true.
The bearded man glanced at him, then sneered in disbelief.
"Just because this street is mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man kicked the boiler, and the boiling water poured out, all flowing down the ground.
This scene stimulated the bearded man's men, who rushed forward and kicked off tables and chairs and smashed dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Hao saw that the pots and pans he had borrowed were smashed to pieces, and he clenched his fists so hard that all the veins were visible.
He picked up the pennant and pointed it at the bearded man.
The bearded man didn't take this news seriously at all. He and Jiang Hao looked at each other, and suddenly his expression changed and he said, "Today, you have to give even if you don't give."
Jiang Hao straightened his back and kept holding the pennant in his hand.
