Li Guolou said to Yue Laibian: "Boss Yue, didn't I give you the money? What else do you have to do?"
Yue Laibian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and said, "How dare you, the villain, ask for Li Duizheng's money? I don't dare to take this money anyway, so you should take it back."
A banknote was placed on the table, leaving Li Guolou speechless. If Yue Jiaban wanted to survive in Tianqiao, how could he dare to offend the people of Yipintang? Now that he was regarded as a gangster brother, they would not dare to offend him.
Li Guolou didn't want to explain anymore. He was not a person who deceived good and feared evil. Even if he was a kind person, would he charge a penny less in protection fees from merchants? It's impossible. So many gang members and government officials rely on
Those who live by collecting protection fees bit by bit can add up to a lot, and a grain of rice can make a warehouse. This fee can be described in astronomical figures. He cannot change human nature, and he cannot change history.
Li Guolou picked up the banknote and said: "Don't worry, Boss Yue, your business will get better again in a short time. Western magic has left a deep impression on me. Hahahaha!"
Yue Lai's face changed, and he quickly said: "Li Duizheng, in fact, our Yue Family Class is grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts. If you hadn't made Xian Chengli disappear, our Yue Family Class would have been forced to leave the capital. My
My daughter is not yet twenty years old, how can I push her into a pit of fire? So we sincerely don’t accept your money, don’t get me wrong.”
Li Guolou thought about Yue Zhaixian's pretty face, which was flirting with Xian Chengli. Is it real or fake? Hey! An actor can act, who cares about her?
Li Guolou felt that he owed Yue Jiaban, so he couldn't help but want to help Yue Lai, and said casually: "Boss Yue, I have been fond of magic since I was a child, and I have collected several books on Western magic. You can read the contents in detail. It will be helpful to you."
The troupe will be helpful, I will give it to you in a few days."
Yue Laibian blurted out: "Li Duizheng, thank you in advance, but I also have a few books on Western magic. Where did your book come from?"
Li Guolou said: "My book is a unique handwritten book by a magic master. It is not sold in the Qing Dynasty. It contains procedures for teaching people how to make props. You can get to the next level by using your brain."
The meaning of what Li Guolou said was that Yue Lai Bian's magic team had nothing new to do in their magic. The tone in which he just mentioned the Western magic trick of "water escape" was full of mockery, which meant that Yue Lai Bian called his daughter Yue Zhai.
Immortals soaking in water are just showing off their appearance.
How could Hu Yue Laibian not recognize the tone of Li Guolou's words? He pretended to be stupid and said: "Yes, yes, I will definitely use my brain more and invite Captain Li to come and observe in the future."
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Boss Yue, people have to innovate and eat what the ancestor boss did. Other troupes have it. As for the classic Western magic trick of 'water escape', you can't just talk for three minutes."
When Yue Zhaixian heard Li Guolou's ridicule on the stage, he couldn't help but let out a loud snort. Yue Lai's face changed again and again, and he was so frightened that if the members of Yue's class were wiped out by Li Guolou, they, outsiders, would die in the capital.
Yue Lai became anxious and said: "Captain Li, don't mind. My little girl has no rules. I asked her to come and apologize to you."
Li Guolou didn't seem to hear Yue Zhaixian's hum, and said: "Boss Yue, I didn't start with Cheng Li, so I don't need others to show their affection. I'm really sorry for what happened today. I'll apologize later."
Li Guolou was born with a mean mouth, which completely shattered the originally beautiful image. It turned out that Yue Zhaixian thought that Li Guolou was a bit of a hero saving beauty, but now he wanted to let Li Guolou die, and stared at Li Guolou's back with a pair of phoenix eyes.
, full of hatred and desire.
Li Guolou did not go to see the Moon Fairy on the stage, but went directly to the theater door. The broken tables and chairs were all his fault. Li Guolou felt heavy and felt sorry for the Yue family class. This time in the Yue family class
The murder in the theater has ruined the family's feng shui. I wonder how long it will take for the Yue Family Class to get better business? It seems that the only way to recover some losses is to reward the Yue Class Class in the future.
Chen Xiangfang sat alone in the teahouse and wasted time. When the sky turned dark, Li Guolou finally came out. Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, why are you lingering in there alone? Tell me the truth!"
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Let's go! Xiaofang, don't be jealous, I didn't say a word to Yue Zhaixian, now you are satisfied."
Chen Xiangfang's face was as bright as a hibiscus and as bright as a firework. She faced Li Guolou with a smile and asked, "Xiaolou, are you hungry?"
The meaning of the pun made Li Guolou fanciful. He nodded and said, "Xiaofang, next time I go out to play, I will eat you."
Chen Xiangfang lightly spat at Li Guolou, but she did not use any dirty tricks against his waist and eyes, but followed Li Guolou's steps like a little bird.
The places to visit are full of restaurants, and there are many signs one after another. It depends on which restaurant has a good name and can attract customers. Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang discussed it, and decided to fill their stomachs first.
I went home and walked into a Cantonese restaurant.
Li Guolou was surprised when he walked in. Most of the customers in the restaurant were carrying bird cages, some hung above their heads and some placed on the table. It turned out that bird lovers gathered here for a large dinner.
Li Guolou lowered his voice and said: "Xiaofang, speak softly, these ** are Manchus, don't look at them, you will be charged if you are not careful." He was frightened, he was afraid when he saw such idle Manchus.
Chen Xiangfang looked at the diners around her with disdain. She just played with birds and it was a group activity. She was really full. At the door of the restaurant, the waiter said that there were private rooms, and another waiter ran inside with a frown on his face.
It was said that there were no more private rooms. This kind of restaurant trick made Li Guolou reluctantly accept the reality. After filling his stomach, he found a seat in a corner.
The dishes were ordered by Chen Xiangfang. Seeing her skillfully speaking the names of the dishes in Cantonese, Li Guolou was amazed that Chen Xiangfang could learn such a strange language, but he couldn't understand a word of it.
The first course of Cantonese food was a soup. After a few sips, Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, can we open a restaurant here? This Cantonese food tastes good, and I have learned a lot about eating."
"
Li Guolou quickly shook his head and said: "Xiaofang, your inner thoughts are very evil. It's not as simple as coming here to open a restaurant. What do I do? Quickly get rid of these evil thoughts."
Chen Xiangfang answered the question incorrectly: "Oh, it's so hot!"
Li Guolou warned: "Xiaofang, in the future you will still cook high-end dishes and be the proprietress in a wealthy area. This kind of place is not suitable for you."
Chen Xiangfang sighed softly: "Xiaolou, I am doing it for your own good. I have done a lot of preliminary work for the business. The more I do, the more I feel it is a loss. With a personality like yours, you open Baozhi House next to the fellow villagers' guild hall."
.From now on, all we earn is not money, but IOUs, do you believe it?"
Li Guolou said: "No, I'm not in the store, who wouldn't give you money? Big brother, second brother wants to save face, so I will only give you more in the future, and I won't owe you money."
Chen Xiangfang replied: "What about your bad friends?"
Li Guolou had no confidence in his heart. Friends became more and more mixed, and people could not help themselves in the world. How could he know what his "friends" were doing? Li Guolou hesitated and couldn't go on. He wanted to justify himself, but he had no confidence.
Chen Xiangfang said sternly: "Small building, it's better to do business in a place where you can get it. We are still young and should do more, so that we will have no regrets when we grow old."
Li Guolou shook his head and said, "Forget it. If you stay in a place like this, you must learn to smoke and drink. I can't stand it."
Chen Xiangfang was still immersed in the excitement of the fight, imagining the status of the eldest sister in the future, and felt that being in the world was her wish. She did not pour cold water on Li Guolou, Fei Yanjiao said: "Xiaolou
, I won’t tell you, I don’t smoke, and as for drinking, I only drink a glass of wine.”
Li Guolou looked at his lover sitting opposite, his heart itched, and he swore: "Don't worry, when the road gets better in the spring, I will take you to Shanghai to meet my brothers and sisters, and I will definitely have a drink with you."
Chen Xiangfang raised her tea cup with a smile and said softly: "It's a deal, no excuses."
"I really like you, I won't lie to you, and I will take care of you, mother and daughter." Li Guolou clinked glasses, and the two of them ate quickly. The fight just now consumed a lot of energy, so they ordered eight dishes.
Li Guolou was afraid of something, so he started to eat. A well-dressed Manchu came over, got close to him, and said with a smile: "Fake foreign devil, do you still know me?"
Li Guolou saw that this Manchu man could call him by his nickname. He must be an old acquaintance, but he could not find this person in his memory. Li Guolou smiled and said: "Oh;;;;;;I have some impression, where are you?"
Bit?"
The Manchu said angrily: "Fake foreign devil, look at your bad memory, I will punish you! I am Na Bazi's fifth cousin, Na Wu. It's best to meet you, it relieves my troubles. I went out in a hurry today and forgot to bring my clothes with me."
Money!"
Li Guolou looked at the five and said: "My brother, I paid the bill for you, but I only pay for your table, not more than one tael of silver?"
Na Wu stretched out his hand and said: "What a coincidence, I got exactly one tael of silver, please spend it." He just filled up the amount and ordered one vegetarian and one meat dish, without spending fifty copper coins. He found a fool and still made some money.
Already.
His five movements were fancy, he held fists and held courtesies meticulously, and he treated Chen Xiangfang very politely. He sat next to Li Guolou, chatted for a while, and already called Chen Xiangfang Xiaofang. He ate the dishes on the table without asking, and even asked the waiter to take them.
Wine, pour it yourself and drink it happily.
Li Guolou scratched his scalp, wondering if Na Bazi had such a cousin? Look at Na Wu's face, he looks very similar to Na Bazi. Hey! Manchus are good at raising children, and there are so many brothers from Na Bazi's clan.
Go. The original enough dishes were not enough, so Li Guolou said helplessly: "Xiaofang, let's have another bowl of Hainanese chicken rice."
Na Wu interjected: "Man, let's have a bowl of Hainanese chicken rice. I want a big bowl." Then he said: "Hey! You Han people just like to eat. You won't be happy without rice."
Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, you are right, this is not suitable for us to do business. It is better for us to deal with the fellow villagers association."
After eating and drinking, Li Guolou stood up and said: "Nan Wu, you eat slowly, we are leaving."
Na Wu raised his head and said, "Fake foreign devil, you left so early. Let's get together again later and I'll treat you."
Li Guolou patted Wu's thin shoulder and said, "Thank you. I'm going to eat your special dish, white meat and blood soup."
What he said was beautiful, but Li Guolou knew in his heart that when he met Na Wu next time, he would not be able to escape from paying for the treat. These people were so thick-skinned that it was hard to express. They were like birds in a Cantonese restaurant.
Cage, these Manchus have become useless except for chirping a few nice bird songs.
