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

Chapter 35 A double entendre, east and west blessings combined

"Brother An, I'm back."

Ah Xin was riding a bicycle with goods, shouting loudly from afar.

When approaching the newspaper stall, turn over and get out of the car.

In the polite voice of "Dude, let me go.", he pushed the bicycle over with difficulty.

Wu Shihao, who had been here to help since noon, hurried up to meet him.

Ang Lee also stepped out of the newspaper stall to join forces.

As the last box of soda was neatly stacked, Ah Xin walked into the newspaper stand with his newly picked up cigarettes.

Seeing that he was not busy now, Li An clapped his hands, took four bottles of soda, and handed them to everyone.

"I've been busy for a long time, come here, I'll treat everyone to drink soda."

As he spoke, he took out a six cent coin from his pocket and placed it in the iron box containing change.

Seeing Li An's act of giving money, Wu Shihao couldn't help but be curious:

"Ah An, how many bottles of soda do you pay for your own newsstand?"

Li An smiled:
"I just took four bottles of soda now. If I take two packs of cigarettes later, or some other things later, how can I remember them all. When the accounts are closed, what if the accounts don't match?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ah Xin and the newly recruited young man, and said in a joking tone:
"We can't let Ah Xin and the others contribute money to fill the bill, right?"

"That's right! I'm really busy, how can I remember clearly." Wu Shihao nodded subconsciously.

But Ah Xin, who is on the side, is also considered clever when running the pier on weekdays.

After pondering secretly for a while, he took Li An's words to heart.

After finishing a bottle of soda, Li An smashed his mouth.

I have to say that glass bottle soda in this era gives people a rare nostalgic feeling.

"Brother Hao, Ah Xin is back too, so you can go and do your work first."

"I'm not busy with anything right now, Xiwei and Ah Qi are watching." Wu Shihao responded.

Li An stopped talking, and asked about the broker's business:

"How is the progress at the other terminals? Is there anyone making trouble for us?"

"Brother Shui is here, how dare those contractors make things difficult for us."

Wu Shihao made a joke.

Then get down to business.

"I contacted the shipowner's manager of the Venus Steamship yesterday, but we haven't made a deal yet."

Li An considered for a moment:

"I haven't cooperated with Venus before, and there is no basis for trust between the two parties. Take your time, this matter cannot be rushed."

Wu Shihao nodded.

While the two were talking, another guest came to the door.

Li An looked up at the five people standing in front of the booth, frowning, but did not speak.

"Wow, not bad! There are also salty tabloids."

The speaker's tone is exaggerated.

He looks to be in his 30s, has a slender face, wears a dark undershirt, and has wide eyes that make him look a bit sinister at first glance.

He took a copy of Soothing the Liver, glanced at it casually, and asked:
"Is there any Jade Girl Sutra?"

Ah Xin carefully looked at the vicious-looking man in front of him, and then glanced at the four people behind him.

He whispered back: "I'm sorry, it was just sold out."

The man's eyes widened: "Go to the street! How do you do business if you don't even have the Jade Girl Sutra?"

"There will definitely be tomorrow morning." Ah Xin was not angry, with a smile on his face.

"You think I'm idle?"

The man glanced at Ah Xin, took another bottle of soda, and took a big gulp on his own.

Then he took out a dime from his trouser pocket and threw it into the money box.

"give change."

Ah Xin hesitated for a while, thinking that Li An was by his side, he still reached out to take out a dime, and said patiently:

"Sir, tabloids cost [-] cents a piece, soda drinks cost [-] cents, and the total is [-] cents. If the bottle is taken away, you will have to pay another five cents (cents) for the bottle.

Your dime is obviously not enough. "

The man slapped the tabloid on the stall and shouted loudly:
"Are you stupid? My name is Big Eyed Ming, do you understand the protection fee?"

Ah Xin was taken aback.

Hearing the man talk about the protection fee again, he subconsciously looked at Li An.

"What about talking to you?"

The man who claimed to have sharp eyes saw Ah Xin turning his head to look aside, and followed Ah Xin's gaze.

At a glance, he saw Li An and Wu Shihao who were standing aside and thought they were guests.

Before he could continue speaking, Li An chuckled softly:
"Big eyes, right? I don't know if your eyes are big or not, but your voice is quite loud."

Hearing this, the people behind Big Eye Ming were obviously unhappy.

One of them took a step forward: "Boy, do you know who you are talking to?"

"Big Eye Ming, didn't he just say that?"

Li An looked at the person who made the sound like a fool, and then said to Dayanming:

"You can buy newspapers from me, but there is no protection fee."

This sentence is said very simply.

Protection fees?
Li An could have thought of today's event before the opening of the file.

But if a random person comes and says he wants to be counted, then why is he still practicing martial arts?

It's better to practice your mouth!
Big Eye Ming smiled angrily: "There are hundreds of stalls on the pier, but no one has ever dared to talk to me like this."

"Hey, you'll see it now!" Li An said with a relaxed expression.

"Boy, you are really kind! I hope you can still be so stubborn later."

Da Yanming sneered twice, and stood still.

Gritting his teeth with a wave of his hand, he said, "Slap me hard! I'll throw away the paperwork!"

The voice just fell.

The four people behind him rushed towards Li An with grins.

Seeing this, Wu Shihao didn't say a word, grabbed the empty box on the ground and rushed up quickly.

Ang Lee spoke from behind:
"Hey, Brother Hao, use your fists. If you break a box, you need money."

The plastic soda box hit the first person hard in the face.

"Oh!"

Broken plastic splashed, and the man staggered from being hit, unable to stop his body from retreating.

Wu Shihao took advantage of the situation and kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed to the second one without hesitation.

Seeing this, the other two people gave up on Li An and rushed towards Wu Shihao directly.

After all, it was a busy wharf. Just as soon as the newspaper stand started, the pedestrians not far away suddenly stopped and gathered together, watching the excitement with great interest.

Ah Xin and the new clerk in the registration file rushed out each dragging a wooden stool.

Ah Xin grabbed the stool with both hands:

"Brother An, do you want to go to the pier and call Brother Shui over?"

Although nervous, he wasn't that scared.

Because in this area of ​​the dock, Sanjiangshui's reputation is big enough. As long as Sanjiangshui comes, the other party will definitely give up.

"For such a trivial matter, there is no need to call me senior brother."

Li An said without looking back.

He was not in a hurry to take action, but stared at Wu Shihao, who rushed towards the three of them without fear.

I have to say that although Wu Shihao has only learned a little boxing and has no rules when fighting, he is brave enough.

No wonder that Teochew man some time ago wanted Wu Shihao, a fellow from his hometown, to pass.

Blocking one person's fist with his right hand, Wu Shihao raised the cracked plastic box in his hand and pointed it at the other person as a hood.

"what!"

The man cried out in pain.

The ruptured fracture cut two long gashes on his face, and blood gushed out instantly.

He retreated subconsciously, but Wu Shihao stepped forward, and the plastic box fell on his head again, knocking him to the ground.

Da Yanming, who was originally standing aside and waiting to see the good show, saw that two of his subordinates fell down in just the time when the two met each other, and suddenly lost his composure.

He threw the half-drinked soda bottle on the ground heavily.

He took out the short knife from his waist, strode forward, and stabbed Wu Shihao's chest with the tip of the knife.

But before he could get close to Wu Shihao, Li An, who was at least four meters away from him, looked like a ghost and flew in front of him in an instant!

Then his wrist hurt, and the short knife in his hand suddenly fell into Li An's hand.

"You can't even hold a knife steadily, so you still have to learn from others to collect protection fees?"

Li An's eyes were calm, he held his saber, held the short saber backwards, and approached the opponent.

Da Yanming stared at Li An in amazement, and shouted fiercely:

"I belong to Dongfuhe, you dare to do it"

Before Da Yanming finished speaking, Li An had already stepped forward, stretched out his left hand to rest on his arm, and pointed the blade towards Da Yanming's neck.

With a rounding step, the short knife held backwards slashed across!

"Pfft!"
