When evening comes, people who have been busy all day finally take their time off, take their lovers, make appointments with friends, go out of the house, or go shopping and chatting leisurely, or eat barbecue and drink wine, and release the fatigue of the day to their heart's content.
Yang Li sold all the scraps collected in a day and rode an empty tricycle to an ordinary barbecue restaurant with no decoration. He was still far away, so he shouted loudly inside: "Third brother, I am
coming!"
"Yang Li is here..."
"I came so late today, I must have made a lot of money..."
As soon as they saw Yang Li, the guests at the tables next to him all greeted him, and some even invited him to come over for a drink. Everyone seemed to be very familiar with him.
"Thank you brothers, let's forget it today. The third brother is too busy. I have to go and help him. I will treat everyone to a drink another day..." Yang Li smiled and greeted everyone and went straight into the house.
"You guys are half an hour late today."
As soon as he entered the door, a man in his thirties, very strong, holding a fish in his hand and cleaning it, said to Yang Li with a smile.
His name is Zhuang Yunshan, and he is the owner of this barbecue restaurant. Because he is a generous person, although he only opened an ordinary barbecue restaurant, he is very popular in the neighborhood, and many people give him some respect.
"I received a lot of things today, so it took a long time to process them." Yang Li chuckled and came to Zhuang Yunshan in a few steps. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a fish: "Leave this to me, and you can go and do the rest.
Bar."
"Okay." Zhuang Yunshan was not polite. He cleaned the fish in his hands a few times and walked to the side. However, when he moved, his feet were a little lame.
Yang Li didn't care about Zhuang Yunshan at all. He held the knife in one hand and caught the fish with the other. As the knife shook, the fish scales fell off.
An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the rush hour was finally passed, and there were only three tables of people still eating in the store.
"Yang Li, stop being busy, come here to rest for a while and have something to eat."
Zhuang Yunshan explained to the two workers, then greeted Yang Li and came to an empty table carrying a large plate.
"I'll come over after I've washed these dishes." Yang Li responded with a smile, washed the dishes and put them away, wiped the water on his hands, and walked over.
There are already six dishes on the table, including grilled ribs, grilled green peppers, grilled tofu skin, grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, and grilled ham. Each of them is very generous.
Seeing this, Yang Li laughed: "Third brother, I'm just a waste collector. I make so many dishes, but I don't have enough money to pay the bills!"
"Who do you think Third Brother is?" Zhuang Yunshan glared at Yang Li and said with a smile: "You come to help me every night, but I never pay you a salary. This order of food is nothing. Besides, tonight
I haven’t eaten anything yet, so I just want to eat something together.”
"Third brother, you are out of touch when you say that. Without your help, I might have to beg for food now. Anyway, I have nothing to do at night, so it's okay to come and help you." Yang Li said with a smile: "Besides, I have nothing to do every day.
The food for dinner costs more than thirty yuan."
"Okay, sit down quickly." Zhuang Yunshan said with a smile: "We are brothers. We are not allowed to see each other like this in the future. Otherwise, don't call me third brother."
"Okay." Yang Li didn't hesitate, picked up the beer and poured it for the two of them. He raised his glass and said, "Third brother, I'd like to give you a toast first."
"Dry……"
Zhuang Yunshan was a generous person, and he didn't talk nonsense. He raised his wine glass, touched it with Yang Li, and the two drank it in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, Yang Li picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Zhuang Yunshan, and then for himself. Just when he was about to pick up the wine glass again, a group of men outside came over. Their clothes were old, some were washed white, and their bodies were also wet.
She is thin, her hair is messy, and there are black stains between the nails of her hands, which looks disgusting.
Only the fifty-year-old man at the head was well-dressed, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a boss. However, his eyes were small and his face looked gloomy, which made people feel uncomfortable at first glance.
.
He is Wang Dali, who failed to negotiate with Yang Li in the morning.
Yang Li frowned, a look of disgust flashed through his eyes, and said to Wang Dali impatiently: "Why are you here again? I made it very clear to you during the day. It is impossible for me to increase the purchase price.
Get out now."
Wang Dali's pupils shrank, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but they returned to their original state in an instant, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands to Zhuang Yunshan and said, "I have met Third Brother."
Zhuang Yunshan frowned slightly. He knew about the conflict of interest between Wang Dali and Yang Li, and he had never interacted with Wang Dali. He didn't know what the other party meant.
But since the other party was polite first, he couldn't be rude, so he nodded and said, "I wonder what Brother Wang wants to see me for?"
"I have long heard that Third Brother is generous, fair, and helpful. I have long wanted to visit him, but I never had the chance. I happened to be free today, so I took my brothers to visit Third Brother." Wang Dali looked at him with a smile.
Zhuang Yunshan looks very friendly.
"Brother Wang is also well-known, and I have heard about it for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved." Zhuang Yunshan smiled faintly and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Yang Li and I have been busy all night and haven't had dinner yet."
"In that case, I'll tell you the truth." Wang Dali heard the meaning of driving people away from Zhuang Yunshan's words, and stopped talking and said with a smile: "I came today mainly to ask Third Brother to help mediate between us.
Conflict with Yang Li."
"First of all, I would like to apologize to Yang Li here. Some of the things we did in the past were indeed wrong. Please forgive me."
After speaking, Wang Dali actually gave Yang Li a fist salute.
Seeing this, Yang Li and Zhuang Yunshan couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at Wang Dali with doubts. Wang Dali could control all the waste collectors around him, so he was certainly not a soft-hearted person, but he had never heard of it.
Who did he humble himself to?
What he did today is completely unlike what he did.
"In the past, things were just for everyone's own benefit. We can't say who told whom. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Yang Li waved his hand to Wang Dali, but stared at him closely, wanting to know what he was doing.
What do you want to do by being so humble? Is it just to lower the purchase price?
"Okay, cool, then I'll tell you the truth." Wang Dali stopped talking and said directly: "We are here today to ask you to lower the purchase price. We don't want you to lower it by any amount. As long as you lower it by 2, we will be fine."
"Waste collection is a lowly profession. It is looked down upon by many people. It is often ridiculed as a garbage digger. Even our family members are often ridiculed for this. We are under so much pressure. Why?
Is it just for living and making more money?"
"But Yang Li, your current purchase price is too high. It is so high that we have no money to make. This is completely contrary to our original intention. If you can reduce the purchase price by 20%, your income will be higher, and we will also
There can be some profits to be made, and everyone can benefit from it, so why not do it, third brother, don’t you think so?"
"This matter has nothing to do with me, don't ask me, you should discuss it yourself." Zhuang Yunshan shook his head, picked up the wine glass, and ignored Wang Dali. He was fully aware of the conflict between Wang Dali and Yang Li, so naturally he would not interfere.
