Hong Kong Comprehensive: My cos girl group is very strong

Chapter 175
As we all know, the old magical city was called Shili Foreign Market because the Bund at that time was dotted with foreign banks and banks. Of course, the most important thing is that there were docks along the river.The shipping industry was very developed at that time, which made the Bund bustling with people.

With the opening of Shanghai, there are many merchants and passenger ships. Some cruise ships can travel across the ocean and reach Europe and North America. When Mr. Deng went to study in France, he also set off from the pier on the Bund.

However, the prosperity of this era was far less than that of later generations. After passing the Bund, the number of people and buildings began to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The people in Shili Foreign Market are all in suits and leather shoes, and the women are well-dressed.

However, when Pan Jie took a rickshaw to the Pig Cage Walled City, the clothes of the people seemed a bit too simple, but this was normal. It was good to be alive at the moment, and he could save money on food and clothing.

The Walled City is an old-fashioned building, built in a U shape, surrounded on three sides, with a large square enclosed in the middle, and the empty side is blocked by a wall...

"Boss, in front of you is the Pig Cage Walled City, but there is only one breakfast shop inside. Well... that's it. The fried dough sticks are quite good. As for the noodles in the shop..."

Speaking of this, Ah Xing scratched his head in embarrassment and said frankly: "Sorry, I haven't eaten it yet, so I don't know how to evaluate it..."

"In that case, come taste it with me and see how it tastes."

Pan Jie waved to Ah Xing and Fatty Cong, and walked leisurely into the walled city.

Although the Pigpen Walled City is very old, the people living in it are all low-level people, which can be regarded as another manifestation of the world. From the inside out, it reveals the living conditions of the poor and ordinary people. The life looks very ordinary. But very fulfilling.

The atmosphere of life here is actually better than outside. There is no eagerness for quick success or quick steps on people's faces, only the desire and longing for life.

"Several, please come inside."

The breakfast shop at the entrance of the Pig Cage Walled City is not exactly accurate when it comes to breakfast, because this is a noodle shop that does not only serve breakfast, but also opens at noon and evening.

The owner of the noodle shop was called the Fried Ghost because the fried dough sticks he fried were very delicious. He fried them every day and fried too much. Later, some people called him the Fried Ghost. Now, except for himself, probably no one knows his name.

"Boss, what do you want to eat?"

"Three bowls of noodles and six fried dough sticks."

"Okay, everyone, just wait a moment..."

He was the only one at Fried Ghost's noodle stall, so after asking the customers about their needs, he ran back down immediately.

Taking advantage of the gap under the fried ghost, Pan Jie crossed his legs and quietly admired the daily life of the residents of the walled city.

Because I came late, I didn’t watch the classic scene of queuing up to wash up. I only saw a few naughty children breaking a porcelain bowl. They were caught and spanked by the owner of the porcelain bowl. The barber shop owner Jiangbao was lying on the table. Most of the buttocks were exposed behind them, and some women gathered together to collect the soles of their shoes.

While he was sizing up the residents of the walled city, the landlord and tenant-in-law upstairs were also sizing him up.

"Honey, this guy has an extraordinary temperament. Why did he come to our place for no reason and go to the fried devil's shop to eat noodles?" The charterer, who was wearing pajamas and often drunk, leaned against the window in a nonchalant manner. Before, in fact, his eyes had never left Pan Jie.

"Who knows!"

With a cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth, the potbellied charter woman said with heavy eyes, "If our child hadn't died, he should be as old as him now, but I don't know if he looks as good-looking as he does."

"Don't think about it, he will definitely be more handsome than the guy below. Don't forget, we were once a powerful couple of Condor Heroes. How could our child not be good-looking?"

The charterer didn't know where the mysterious confidence came from. He actually compared his deceased son with Pan Jiejie, and even came to the conclusion that their son was better than the other in every aspect.

"This is also..."

The charterer agreed.Although they don't look good now, it's because they quit the world and neglected body management. They are older and have too many things to think about, but their appearance will change and their figures will be out of shape.

The children she gives birth to will definitely inherit all the advantages of their mother.

Not long after, the fried ghost brought three bowls of noodles and handed them to Pan Jie and the others, and then put six fried dough sticks on a plate for them. Seeing this scene, the landlord sighed: "Those two little gangsters used to hang out here. , I was hungry for eight meals in three days. If I hadn’t walked near them from time to time and deliberately dropped a few cents for them to eat, I don’t know if I would have survived. Today, I stayed with that kid and finally had enough to eat for a whole day.”

"Alas~~They are all pitiful people."

The charterer sighed quietly.

She just looks fierce and has a loud voice, but in fact, she is very kind-hearted at heart. Many people who live in the Pig Cage Walled City have rent arrears. The debt lasts for several months, and some even owe one or two years. But She never chased anyone away.

Because the people who live here are basically low-level people who have nowhere to go. If people are driven away because of rent, they will have to live on the streets.

The landlord and tenant are generous, and the tenants are also sensible. They pay the rent as soon as they earn money, and then they owe it for a few more months, and the cycle repeats.

Outside the noodle shop, Pan Jie said casually while eating lo mein: "Master, look at your hands and mouth, you must have been a practitioner before!"

"Ah~~What is the big gaping mouth? I don't understand. If you are talking about my hands, then you must have misunderstood. My big tiger's mouth is made by pressing the surface with bamboo sticks every day."

The fried ghost deliberately pretended to be stupid. He didn't want to expose his background.

Why are you here in anonymity? It's not to hide from your enemies and stay away from right and wrong.

He would never reveal his martial arts skills unless necessary.

"Master, are there any vacant houses for rent in the walled city?"

The fried ghost didn't want to say anything, and Pan Jie didn't force it, anyway, he just asked casually.

Although the fried ghost's martial arts cultivation is good and has reached the innate level, in front of him, he is no different from ordinary people.

"Yes, I wonder how big a house you want to rent?"

The fried ghost wiped the water with his apron and said enthusiastically: "But I have seen that the young master looks handsome and dressed gorgeously. He doesn't look like someone who is short of money. How could he think of renting a house here?"

"It's mainly them, I'm just experiencing it." Pan Jie turned his head to Ah Xing and Fatty Cong, who were eating noodles.

"Them?" Fried Ghost asked doubtfully.

"I met them on the road. I saw that their conscience was still intact, so I gave them a chance to work with me for one silver dollar a day..." Pan Jie explained casually.

"Master, you are this."

The fried ghost gave Pan Jie a thumbs up.

With one silver dollar a day, his noodle shop only earns a few cents for a whole day's operation, and only ten silver dollars a month. Sometimes people don't have much money and can only earn a few silver dollars a month, and life is always tight.

Asing finished his bowl of noodles and heard the conversation between Pan Jie and Fried Ghost. He said weakly: "Boss, Acong and I have not thought about renting a house. If you want to experience it, just rent one." …”
