Chapter 64 Nosebleed (24)

As a person from Northeast China, Zeng Hongbing has never made Guangdong chicken soup, and he really can't understand why people in the South like to drink such a light thing?

Without light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, dried mushrooms and vermicelli, the chicken would have no texture.

However, now it is equivalent to boiling medicine, and he can only do as Chen Yaozu said, otherwise he will absolutely defend the authenticity of Northeastern chicken stewed with mushrooms.

He filled an entire casserole with water, put the whole chicken in, and added the ingredients for Cantonese soup. Then, he picked up the old ginseng bought from the pharmacy and hesitated a little.

He walked into the room and confirmed with Chen Yaozu again: "Are you sure you can put both old ginsengs in?
The old man selling medicine said that this is old mountain ginseng. When stewing chicken, you can only use one-third or one-fifth of it at a time. One root can be used three to five times!
This is genuine old mountain ginseng, not the kind of ginseng sold in the market that comes from plantations.”

Chen Yaozu nodded: "Yes, put it all in!

I'm in urgent need of ginseng to replenish my qi and blood. Ordinary people can't eat this, but I can!"

Since Chen Yaozu said so, Zeng Hongbing didn't understand, so he could only go out and stuff the two old ginsengs into the casserole and start making soup.

After lighting the fire, Zeng Hongbing entered the room and asked with some concern:
"How long will your current state last? The Fuqing Gang is very big in Los Angeles. Should we run away?"

If Chen Yaozu hadn't been so weak after getting into the car after leaving the gang's territory, Zeng Hongbing would definitely have had the confidence to stay in Los Angeles with him given the way he killed everyone in the gang's territory.

But now, although it feels great to be in the gang’s territory, the price is also very high!

This is clearly just like the shaman dance in Northeast China.

It is said that if a shaman asks the immortal for advice, those who are possessed by the immortal will be weak for several days.

Those fortune tellers who often ask for advice from fortune tellers will have a short life.

"I am just weak now. I will be fine in two days if I drink chicken soup and take a nap.

As for running away...

I'm not afraid, but you are different. Go get half of the money from outside and leave Los Angeles.

Get rid of your car!

Don't drive it around, it's conspicuous.

Otherwise you go back to your country!
After all, the debt you owe in your hometown is only a hundred, which is only about one hundred thousand US dollars.

There are more than 600,000 yuan out there, half of which is enough to pay back each of us.”

Zeng Hongbing heard this and quickly shook his head: "That won't work!

It was wrong of me to drag you along to give you courage and let you encounter such a thing.

At the critical moment, it was all thanks to you that we were able to get out of there alive.

I won’t touch a penny of the money here. It’s only a hundred dollars, right?
With my type of skills, if I work evenly, I can finish it in two to three years!"

In America, you can't work all year round. Sometimes it's too cold, sometimes there are storms, rain and snow.

So people like those who work in decoration and construction are just skilled workers and it is impossible for them to do the work every day.

There are also Saturdays and Sundays!

Moreover, whether you can work and whether there is work to do depends on whether the foreman can get the work, so the income cannot be calculated based on 365 days.

If you can earn money half of the year, you are already extremely lucky. How can you expect to have work every day of the year?

So according to Zeng Hongbing's estimate, if he is lucky and works hard, he can pay off his family's debt in three to five years.

He would rather work hard for three to five years than use Chen Yaozu's money to pay off his debts.

If he were really such a person, he would not have taken on the debts that his wife had borrowed from relatives and friends behind his back.

"That's enough, stop talking nonsense... huh..."

Chen Yaozu settled the matter with weak words: "Since we all robbed the money from the gang together, let's divide it equally.

You are in urgent need of money to run away, but what can the 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in your pocket do for you?
Do you really plan to stay in Los Angeles and wait for someone to come to you?

Even I don't plan to show up outside in the short term, so I'll stay in school.

You are different. The place where you live is full of all kinds of people. You can't stay there for a moment. Leave quickly!

I can’t even go to New York!

The Chinese community is small, and you may see them everywhere. The foreman you know may have spies from the Fuqing Gang under his command. "

Zeng Hongbing smiled bitterly: "What should I do with so much money?
You want me to send it back to pay off the debt?
What to send?

I have to go to the gangs and find underground money houses. Do I dare to go to the bank to send money?

Can I explain so much money?
But in this situation, I don’t dare to ask the gangs to send money back!

Where should I put so much money?
This is like a child walking down the street with a gold bar. Isn't that courting death?"

Chen Yaozu thought the same thing and said, "Then you can take a few tens of thousands!

No one can tell you can put tens of thousands of dollars in your pocket. If you really can’t, sew it into your clothes and leave Los Angeles quickly!
Go now! "

Chen Yaozu had recovered now, and got up from the bed and said that he could take care of the heat of the soup, but Zeng Hongbing had to leave Los Angeles immediately. Zeng Hongbing thought about it and took out tens of thousands of US dollars from the bag in the hall and put it in his pocket before leaving.

When Olivia got home, she called her eldest daughter: "Audrey, where are you?"

The eldest daughter's voice came from the phone: "I'm playing with my classmates at the Long Beach. Mom, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

It’s only a ten or twenty minute drive from Orange County to Long Beach, which is a very common weekend activity for an 18-year-old girl.

"Yes, yes, something happened!

Yaozu's health suddenly deteriorated and he's very weak now. I just went to his house to see him.

You need to come back right away, Audrey.

When our family needed help the most, it was he who brought hope to our lives, allowing you to go to school and allowing me to have my current job.

And you are his wife now, and he needs someone to take care of him now!"

"What?"

Audrey, who was feeding seagulls with her companions at the beach, couldn't believe it and confirmed again: "Mom, what did you say?"

……

Chen Yaozu waited patiently for the chicken soup in the casserole to boil down from a large can of water to half a can. Then he scooped out a large bowl of it, slowly brought it to his mouth, and drank it while it was hot.

how to say?

Originally, he felt as if his body was in an ice cellar all the time. He was freezing cold without any warmth in his body, but he kept sweating.

I lay in bed for a long time before I recovered. Although I didn't sweat as much now, I still felt a chill in my bones.

But when I took a sip of the old mountain ginseng chicken soup, I felt the warmth... It went directly from my mouth into my stomach, and then started to warm my whole body from my stomach.

How to describe that feeling?
It's like a dying grass in the desert suddenly receives a heavy rain, like a blessing after a long drought!

A bowl of rich old mountain ginseng chicken soup poured into the stomach, and every weak cell in the body seemed to be crying for food.

Chen Yaozu simply moved the casserole to the hall and drank from it bowl by bowl. He drank four bowls in a row before lying comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the warmth emanating from his body, which had been cold just now.

I even took a comfortable nap on the sofa.

"Zu, mom said you're not feeling well?"

Audrey hurried in from the door, saw him sitting up on the sofa in the living room, and hurried over to check.

But what he saw was Chen Yaozu, who had eaten and drunk his fill and even woken up from a short nap, with a rosy face.

"It's okay, I was just hungry and had low blood sugar.

Now eat something and you'll be fine!"

Chen Yaozu didn't know how to explain his situation, so he just made up something.

Audrey was also easy to fool. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Yaozu was fine, and then sat down next to him:
"I was so scared, mom said you had a serious health problem, you were very weak and needed someone to take care of you urgently.

So I hurriedly ended today’s weekend activities with my friends and rushed back from Long Beach.

By the way, what did you eat? Why is there a whole chicken left?"

Audrey looked at the whole chicken in the casserole. The hunger she felt after not eating for the whole afternoon prompted her to reach out and grab the chicken leg, pull it out, and take a bite.

"Hey, you can't eat this..."

When Chen Yaozu said this, the chicken leg in Audrey's hand had been ripped down to a large chicken leg bone.

"What...why can't I eat it?"

Audrey asked doubtfully, but just as she asked, she felt something wet under her nose, and when she reached out her hand, it was all blood!

……

three days later.

In front of Zhang Rushong were several photos, an address and a phone number.

“This person’s name is Zeng Hongbing. It was through Lao Bo that he learned about our Fuqing Ahui’s Changjiu Finance Company.

I really wanted to send money that day.

My home is in the Chinese district, but the house is now empty.

However, based on visits to nearby neighbors, it was discovered that this person often came into contact with a woman who delivered food and often stayed overnight at this woman's home.

Three days ago, I came to look for this woman, but later I left alone..."
