"Why don't you take the Xiyan? You are the introducer, and the neighbors will always score points. When you get to the Pig-butcher and Da Mao's house, they will give you a few more packs."
Tang Qing first gave each person a pack of cigarettes, and then asked Fatty Sun:
"Master Sun, have you bought the vegetables?"
"Master Jiujin, I have already purchased all the dishes for lunch and dinner. You can just send someone here to help me get them from the vegetable market."
Fatty Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he had been busy for a long time.
"Okay, foreman, you are in charge of logistics today. Now you and Master Sun go to the vegetable market to bring the vegetables to my house and the Lao Zhang tofu and steamed bun shop next door."
The contractor was very excited to be able to participate in this happy event, which showed that Tang Qing did not regard him as an outsider.
"Don't be too happy, you have to pay for the food."
Tang Qing slapped the foreman's beer belly.
"Master Jiujin, I originally wanted to give you a gift, but you said no, I won't accept any gifts today, and I feel a little embarrassed. You asked me to pay for the food, but it's too late for me to be happy."
"You're just cheap, aren't you? But don't worry, it doesn't cost much for food. It's just a table of food for lunch and a few of our Shancheng's specialties for dinner."
"Master Jiujin, I have prepared ten thousand."
"Boss Bao, have you prepared ten thousand? Then I have to change the recipe."
Before Tang Qing could respond to the contractor, Fatty Sun took over the contractor's words first.
"Change, change, change, must change!"
“Boss Bao’s money will not be wasted until it is wasted!”
The crowd booed.
"There's no need to change the menu, it's still mainly festive. If it's about pomp and circumstance, why don't we go to a big hotel to do it? Just because we take into account the family situation of the pig-butcher and Damao, we'd better be more frugal. But don't worry, everyone.
I promise to let everyone eat and drink well tonight, and I wish the butcher and Shanghai aunt, Da Mao and silly aunt a happy wedding!"
"Hey, Master Jiujin, if you don't want to hold the banquet at the Grand Hotel tonight, where do you plan to hold it?"
The little bald head is concerned about eating and drinking at night.
"You can eat freely when the time comes, but keep it a secret for now. Mr. Long, Master Wang, you guys can go over first."
"good."
"Master Jiujin, see you at noon."
Lao Longtou and Wang Carpenter walked out of the People's Barber Shop.
"Master Jiujin, let's go to the vegetable market."
"Master Jiujin, I went with Master Sun."
Fatty Sun and the contractor also walked out of the People's Barber Shop.
"Master Jiujin, what's our mission?"
Big Belly Qian asked Tang Qing in a low voice.
Ever since Dadu Qian was caught as a gangster by Tang Qing in the People's Barber Shop, Da Duqian has never dared to come to the People's Barber Shop for "37 cents" or meet Tang Qing.
A few days ago, Tang Qing asked Bao to inquire and asked Daduqian to come to the People's Barber Shop at eight o'clock this morning to accept the task. Daduqian has not been able to sleep well in the past few days, and he is uneasy, thinking about all kinds of things.
If there is a possibility, what task will Tang Qing send him?
I just heard that they were holding a wedding event for the pig butcher, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao and Sha Gu, and I felt a little more at ease. But I was still worried that Tang Qing would kill him like the foreman and let him pay for it.
Tang Qing understood how Du Qian was feeling at the moment, so he deliberately teased him first and said:
"President Qian is the boss of a bank. It doesn't take any effort to make money. You can just lie in bed and give birth at night."
"Master Jiu, Jiu, Jiujin, this, this, this money, life, life, life... still don't want it, don't want it..."
"President Qian, don't worry, I don't want you to spend any money today, I just need you to do it for the public good and for your own benefit."
"Master Jiu, Jiu, Jiujin, fake, fake, fake, fake for the public and for private use, that's also..."
The big belly of money still makes me tremble with fear.
"President Qian, why are you stuttering today? Are you still cold in a suit? We are all wearing short sleeves."
The little bald man ridiculed the big money man.
Tang Qing was amused that this big-bellied man was so bold in engaging in the "money begets money" activity, but acted like a brat in front of him. He was probably afraid of sending him inside to eat weak steamed buns.
"President Qian, don't worry, I won't let you go inside to eat steamed buns. You just need to lend me the colorful ribbons, lanterns and balloons that you used when we held activities in the square last time. I will
I asked people in your industry and they said that those things are piled up in the warehouse, and there are still many balloons that have not been used."
"Oh, what about this? This is easy to handle, I'll take care of it. Master Jiujin, tell me, where did you get those lanterns, ribbons, and balloons? Where are the decorations?"
When Dadu Qian heard that Tang Qing wanted him to complete this task, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to his bank-manager demeanor in front of his neighbors.
"President Qian, on every street tree and in front of every store in this downtown street, some colored lanterns, ribbons, and balloons must be installed. I also need to install some in my store. Anyway, the entire downtown street will be decorated today.
I'm so happy. I wonder if the ribbons, lanterns and balloons are enough?"
"Master Jiujin, there is absolutely no problem. If it is not enough, I can buy new ones in the name of the store. Anyway, I can still use them after using them in the store. This is a public benefit and a private one."
"Okay, thank you, President Qian. Let the butcher, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao and Sha Gu serve you a few more glasses of wine tonight."
"I want to thank you, Master Jiujin, for giving me this good opportunity to integrate into the neighborhood. Little Baldy, everyone, come with me to the store to get ribbons, lanterns and balloons!"
With a big belly full of money and a big step forward, he led the little bald man and others out of the People's Barber Shop.
Tang Qing's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the figure with a big belly of money.
"I want to thank you, Master Jiujin, for giving me this good opportunity to integrate into the neighborhood."
Is this rich guy going to take this opportunity to win over the neighbors to go to his place to "make money with money"? It seems that I have to be careful tonight. I must not harm the neighbors just to save some money for balloons.
However, there is no need to worry too much. Even if he has a lot of money, he would not dare to do anything outrageous in this situation tonight. If he dares to do it, I will dare to turn against him and send him in to eat light steamed buns.
"Master Jiujin, Master Jiujin!"
Bao asked and called Tang Qing outside the store.
"What happened?"
Tang Qing saw that Bao Wenwen was out of breath and was calling her before she even got off the rickshaw. It was probably not a trivial matter, so she hurriedly walked out of the People's Barber Shop.
"Master Jiujin, I heard that there are many people surrounding the door of the Li family's old house now."
The rickshaw that Bao asked for has been pasted with two big red words "happy" on the front and back, and a brand new yellow vest has been put on.
Tang Qing didn't have the mind to care about this. He walked to the rickshaw where Bao asked and asked hurriedly:
"Who did you listen to? Who are they? Why are they surrounding the Li family's old house?"
The contractor took a breath and replied:
"Master Jiujin, I was told by a colleague who just took over a business there. He is definitely right. As for who they are and why they want to surround the Li family's old house, I haven't found out yet."
"Thank you, I'll go up and take a look now."
Tang Qing didn't even close the store door and hurried towards the Li family's old house.
"I'll take you up."
"No, just complete my task well. Remember the time and don't be late!"
Tang Qing didn't even look back and hurried on as he gave instructions.
Li Li suddenly left Yancheng again, and the Li family's old house was empty again. Tang Qing must take on the important task of protecting the Li family's old house.
He ran for a while, walked briskly for a while, walked for a while and then ran for a while. The journey originally took half an hour, but Tang Qing completed it in ten minutes.
"My mother, are there really so many people around there? There are at least fifty or sixty people in the darkness, right? What are they trying to catch? Should they call the police first? What should they call the police for? How to call the police? It's impossible to call the police in broad daylight.
Maybe they were robbing homes? If they really wanted to rob homes, how could they do it with so many people? Once they got in, even the pebbles on the ground would be robbed."
Tang Qing stood on the side of the road, out of breath from exhaustion. Countless ideas flashed through his mind, and he wanted to rush over and ask for details, but his legs just refused to obey him and he couldn't move forward.
