Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 234 Equal, Auntie

Li An nodded happily.

Lei Luo took the initiative to take over this matter, which would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.

"Then please trouble Brother Luo. I'm waiting for your good news." Li An said after taking a sip of tea.

"no problem."

Lei Luo smiled and picked up the tea cup.

He casually chatted with Li An about some interesting things, and Lardboy was making jokes. The three of them drank tea and chatted in a pleasant atmosphere.

After drinking tea, Lei Luo stood up and said goodbye:

"I have to go to Hong Kong Island, so I won't stay any longer. I'll treat you to tea next time."

"You said that?"

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and exchanges of favors are indispensable. In this case, I won't try to persuade you to stay. Just wait for me."

Lei Luo said with a smile on his face: "I said so."

"Before, we could only be regarded as ordinary friends, and there was no deep friendship at all. On the one hand, he came to thank me, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to mention that I was looking for a shop to see if he could be of any help. It is also intended to bring the relationship closer. Strong people help each other, and Lei Luo should also have this idea."

Lardboy nodded yes.

The three of them went downstairs, and Li An sent Lei Luo out of the door.

"The master's exclusive secret formula is very relaxing and active. We often get bruises when we practice boxing and kicking. The effect is good. If your fracture has just healed, you can recover faster by applying some medicinal wine."

Huaman chuckled:
"I risked entering the city alone. It's a pity that he overestimated Master Ding's control over his subordinates and underestimated the power of Dou Zai. However, he was able to convince Master Ding to deal with his nephew. I have to say that he was very clever in coming here this time. So enthusiastic, am I here to express my gratitude to you?"

Li An sat at the table, took an apple and took a bite.

Favor is a favor, and friendship is a friendship. The two cannot be confused, and there is no conflict between them. Everyone just needs to understand each other tacitly. Talking about kindness will not serve any purpose except embarrassing both parties.

After saying that, Li An turned and walked away. Not long after, he came back and handed Lei Luo a bottle of medicinal wine.

Lei Luo took the medicinal wine in the glass bottle in his hand.

"More than just thanks."

After leaving the dance hall, Lei Luo turned to Lardboy and said:
"Brother Zai, please run around more in the past two days to see which commercial building on Canton Road and Granville Road has the most customers. Then I will ask Li An to come over and have a look. It doesn't matter whether there is any spare space, as long as Li An likes it, and I will negotiate the rest."

However, friendship is also about reciprocity. People who can get together must be of the same level.

"it is good."

"It's clear, Brother Luo, I will go early tomorrow morning. I will definitely satisfy Li An."

Li An chewed the apple in his mouth and swallowed it. Seeing that Hua Man looked suspicious, he explained:

"Yes."

He knew in his heart that Brother Luo always valued his relationship with Li An and he did not dare to neglect this matter.

It was true that he was indebted to Lei Luo, but it only made the friendship between the two deeper. Li An knew this clearly.

After bidding farewell to Lei Luo, when Li An came to the third floor, Hua Man was clearing the table. She looked up at Li An and asked with a smile:
"The last time there was a big fight in the city, was it because of him?"

Although it is often said that all people are born equal and there is no distinction between high and low, but in the cruel reality, the friendship between people is divided into levels.

The strong help each other and the weak step on each other, so the strong will always be strong.

Li An knows it, and he believes Lei Luo also knows it.

Huaman has been involved in various religions since she was a child, so she naturally understands the meaning of Li An's words. "It seems that you are very optimistic about Inspector Lei?"

Li An smiled: "I can't say I'm optimistic about him, I just think Lei Luo is worth getting to know."

It is no exaggeration to say that now I do not have to rely on the other party for anything.

He didn't say any more, but asked:

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am going to bring some gifts to honor my uncle and master. Do you want to come with me?"

"Third aunt came here specially by boat from Macau today. My brother went to the pier at noon. He should be back soon, so I won't go."

"Ah."

Traveling north-south, Li Kee Restaurant.

Zhao Fengxia, wearing a blue apron, walked over and said to Li Jianguo.

"I have been busy for nearly a month. Today is the holiday, and Jianjun is also here, so the restaurant will finish work early."

Zhao Fengxia is only thirty-seven years old this year, but because she has been working hard all year round, her complexion is sallow and there are obvious wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, making her look much older than her actual age.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay."

Li Jianjun waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, then you go and tell the waiter. After the guests have finished eating, we will close the door after tidying up. It just so happens that my accounts are almost finished."

Li Jianguo put down the accounts in his hands and raised his head:
"By the way, Jianjun, I'd like to trouble you to accompany me to the walled city later and send A'an his share last month."

"Brother, you can just take the money with you when I go back in the evening. There is no need to make a special trip."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"This is not okay."

Li Jianguo shook his head: "Brothers must settle accounts openly. A'an has never come to the restaurant, so I have to bring the accounts to him for a look."

"I hosted a mooncake party at Kee Wah Bakery half a year ago. An loves salted egg yolk mooncakes. Don't forget to bring two boxes of mooncakes with you when you go to the Walled City."

Zhao Fengxia did not forget to remind.

When Li An walked into the restaurant, he happened to hear these words and couldn't help but say:
"Auntie is still the best to me."

Zhao Fengxia holds a mooncake party after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. During the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, she can receive ten boxes of mooncakes from the bakery. After receiving the mooncakes, she will pick two boxes of Li An's favorite mooncakes and send them to them.

The so-called mooncake party is a mooncake pre-sale that is now popular among big bakeries.

If prepayment and installment are mentioned, as a descendant of the future, the first thing that comes to mind may be financial products, or the annual rush to buy.

But during this period, probably since the 1950s, there has been a trend of prepayment and installment!
That is to grab moon cakes, which is generally called the moon cake party by the citizens.

At this time, although the living standards of Hong Kong citizens were steadily improving, most of them still lived in poverty, with per capita income similar to that of South Africa and Greece at the time.

A box of mooncakes costs about five Hong Kong dollars, and the salary is only fifty or sixty dollars. It is a basic etiquette to give mooncakes to relatives and friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Spending tens or hundreds of dollars to buy mooncakes at once will undoubtedly make many people Difficult.

After analyzing the immediate demand for mooncakes and the actual consumption capacity, some smart merchants launched the mooncake party, a pre-order installment consumption plan.

It is not only convenient for customers, but also allows you to roughly estimate the sales volume of your bakery in advance and control costs.

Zhao Fengxia turned around and saw Li An walking over with a gift, and she quickly spoke enthusiastically:
"A'an, you're here."

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. I bought some gifts to honor my uncle and aunt."
