Hong Kong, offshore islands—

Hong Kong's outlying island was once called "Snake Island" because it was very remote and almost uninhabited. Various snakes, insects, rats and ants grew on the entire island, especially snakes.

Until the outlying islands were gradually developed, the snakes slowly disappeared, and most of them were made into "snake soup and snake paste" by the locals, becoming a delicacy for people.

On the offshore islands, almost no one does not know the name of "Snake King Tao".

The reason why Snake King Tao is called the "Snake King" is because he has the secret skill of making "Snake King Soup". Any Hong Kong people who come to travel outside the island or tourists from other places will come to the old "Snake King Soup" he opened and taste the "Snake King Soup" he made himself.

At this moment, there was no customer in this old snake soup shop.

Because the boss "Snake Wang Tao" received a call, he received a contract business.

For him, he sold 100 bowls of "snake soup" every day, and each bowl was calculated at 100 Hong Kong dollars, and he only earned 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

But today the man who booked the venue gave him 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

For Snake King Tao, it means he has done business for five days.

Just as Snake King Tao looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost noon, and he was thinking about why the guests had not arrived yet, an extended Lincoln sedan with a black license plate of three "8" parked at the door of his Snake Soup Store.

Because the Snake Soup Store is not big, most of the people who come here to eat Snake Soup are tourists, so few luxury cars are seen carrying people over.

Therefore, many indigenous people from the outlying islands will gather around curiously to see what big shots are coming to eat snake soup.

Under the curious eyes of the natives of the island, the car door opened, and a driver looked like a man from above. Then the driver helped open the door and got two men from the car respectively.

The two men looked a little similar, both in suits and ties, looking very stylish.

When Snake Wang Tao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and called the two "Mr. Kang".

That's right, the two brothers from the Kang family in Hong Kong - Kang Yongren and Kang Yonglian.

Kang Yonglian was obviously dissatisfied with this backward place and the poor surrounding environment. Especially when he saw the natives from the island staring at him, he said angrily: "What are you monkeys? Have you never seen rich people?"

Seeing that Kang Yonglian was so arrogant, those off-islanders didn't know his background, so they scattered.

"Big Boss, here is so dirty, what's the food?" Kang Yonglian covered his nose with a handkerchief, looked at the snake soup shop, which was a bit "dirty and messy" in the environment, and frowned and said to his elder brother Kang Yongren.

Next to him, Snake Wang Tao was a little unhappy when he saw Kang Yonglian belittling his shop so much, so he argued: "Boss, you are here to eat snake soup, not Western food - how can you get so many requests!"

Kang Yongren smiled and said to the delicate man Kang Yonglian: "Big stores have the benefits of big stores, and small places have the benefits of small places - believe me, the snake soup here is very supplementary!"

When Kang Yonglian heard this, he shrugged and wanted to take away the handkerchief covering his nose, but he still couldn't stand the fishy smell in the store.

Walk into the store.

There are eight or nine small tables, each table is surrounded by four small stools, both the table and the stool are greasy.

Kang Yonglian suspected that he could even scrape off a layer of snake oil with his fingers.

Snake Wang Tao invited the two Kang brothers to sit down very diligently, and wiped the table and benches with a rag, and then asked if he wanted to start making snake soup now?

Kang Yongren waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer, there is still a customer who has not arrived."

Snake Wang Tao then ordered the mute apprentice to serve tea to the two of them first, and explained that this is not ordinary tea, but "raw tea" that must be drunk before eating snake soup - it is a Chinese medicinal material prepared by Snake Wang Tao himself with a secret recipe. Not to mention replenishing qi and blood circulation, the most important thing is to improve the ability of diners to absorb snake soup in their stomachs. This is called: "Big and small to nourish the inside and outside, and eating snake soup must nourish the stomach first, so that you can taste the delicious food perfectly."

Kang Yongren nodded frequently about Snake Wang Tao's conspiracy, but Kang Yonglian sneered.

After the water-blowing snake Wang Tao left, Kang Yonglian picked up the cup of "raw tea" and took a sip, and spit it out, "What, it's a fishy smell!" As he spoke, Kang Yonglian kept spitting and spitting, trying to spit out the tea in his mouth.

Kang Yongren slowly took the "raw tea" and tasted it slowly, without even thinking that the tea tasted strange at all. He said, "Snake root vine, Angelica, Schisandra chinensis, and licorice... The flavors of these medicinal materials are really not something that ordinary people can bear."

Kang Yonglian: “…”

Speechless.

In his opinion, his elder brother is simply a freak, like a madman, and he likes to do things that ordinary people cannot bear.

It is precisely because of this that Kang Yonglian has always been afraid of him.

...

Just as Kang Yongren was drinking tea, the guests they were waiting for came.

Le Jun, who took off his prison uniform and put on a casual outfit, walked into the store with a briefcase in his hand.

Le Jun looked around with great vigilance. Seeing that there were only two Kang brothers in the store besides the boss and the mute apprentice. So he walked over and said respectfully to Kang Yongren who was drinking tea: "Mr. Kang, I'm here!"

Kang Yongren looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay, come - you can eat snake soup when you come!" Then he clapped his hands and said to the boss Snake Wang Tao, "The guests are here, let's start!"

Snake Wang Tao had noticed someone coming, and when he saw Kang Yongren say this, he loudly ordered his mute apprentice to say, "You go to the snake cage behind to pick a snake - you should pick a fatter one, Mr. Kang and others are our distinguished guests!"

The mute apprentice screamed "Wow" in her mouth, put on an apron, took a sharp knife that peeled the snakes, and went to the backyard to pick up snakes.

Le Jun didn't expect Kang Yongren to let him eat snake soup first, so he picked up his briefcase and said, "Mr. Kang, these..."

Kang Yongren said unhurriedly: "Look at these things later-I believe you, don't you?"

What else Le Jun wants to say, but Kang Yongren suddenly stood up and patted his shoulder with one hand and said, "Let's go and pick the snake first - I'm not relieved after all."

...

Snake Soup Store, in the backyard—

As soon as people enter, they smell a strong fishy smell.

In the yard that is not big, there are seven or eight large cages, all of which are raised with flower snakes of varying thickness and color, including Qi snakes, black-skinned snakes, king snakes, etc.

At this moment, the mute apprentice was wearing a water skirt and silly picking snakes in the snake cage.

Maybe because the snakes were too sharp, they all poked their heads and spit out their snake letters, and showed their fangs from time to time, which made the mute apprentice dare not reach out to grab them for a while.

Kang Yonglian was a little scared when he looked at so many shocking flower snakes, but could not stand the fishy smell here, so he covered his nose with a handkerchief and said to his elder brother Kang Yongren: "Big Boss, just pick one of them, why do you have to come here in person!"

Although Le Jun didn't like the fishy smell here, his expression was very calm. Looking at the colorful and terrifying snakes in the cage, he didn't even frown.

Kang Yongren saw the expressions of the two men and Le Jun, and said in his words: "A lot of things in this world have to be done by yourself - the more you fear, the more you have to face, until you grasp the enemy in your hands, cut it into pieces, cook it into porridge, and swallow it in your stomach!"

As he spoke, Kang Yongren stepped forward, crossed the mute apprentice who was afraid of his head and tail and did not dare to catch a snake. He reached out and grabbed the most arrogant and terrifying king snake in the snake cage.

The king snake was as thick as a child's arm. As soon as it was caught, it immediately twisted its body and wrapped around Kang Yongren's arm from its tail. The brown-red snake body wrapped around the arm, which was shocking!
