My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 83 Women Hold Up Half the Sky

"A vast land, a vast land, a vast land of dust. A new emperor, a new minister." Shen Cuiyue used this sentence to face Rang Weidong: "As long as I am alive, I must take my two brothers with me to live. Now that everyone else is gone, and my life was given by you, we have no choice but to follow you."

In fact, as soon as Wei Dong stretched out his hand, the work permit, letter of introduction and other things were quickly stuffed back to him.

He frowned and said, "Isn't it a way to make a living?"

Shen Cuiyue shook her head. "We dare not leave here. I even dare not show up on the streets. There are crackdowns everywhere. We always follow the path of the underworld. If we show up, we will probably die. After leaving the hospital, we can only hide back in this area. I have never been to other places since I was a child. I heard that the situation in the countryside is even worse."

He made a knife-cutting motion with his hands.

Weidong could understand that this might be a problem of living habits and behavioral circles, but how could he take a few thieves with him to travel around the world?

What's more, it would be a big trouble if these guys spoiled Goudan and the others' business.

Shaking his head, he asked, “What can you do by following me?”

Shen Cuiyue's face was hard to see in the dim light, and her loose hair made her features seem hazy. "As long as I can take care of my two younger brothers, I can do anything."

This reminded Weidong of a joke: "Then let me ask you, what is 30,000 times 80,000?"

Sure enough, Jianghu Girl had never encountered such a big deal before. After a little hesitation, she said, "24!"

Let Weidong suppress his laughter and turn around proudly: "Look, you are even wrong about this. How dare I ask you to work for me?"

The two younger brothers were about to use their leg-holding skills again, but their sister shook her head at them, then raised her eyebrows and winked at the younger one.

When Weidong was trying to squeeze out again, a small figure followed him from behind.

There was even a clumsy hand that tried to take something out of Weidong's pocket, but was hit on the head with a stone by the little figure!
Of course, at this time, Weidong had already put all his documents and change into the upper pocket of his shirt inside his sportswear.

I even bought a key chain and hung my car keys on it.

In fact, when he reached the side of the road, he hesitated and wanted to turn around.

But he smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and threw the things into the back seat of the car.

This double row of seats is really good. The second row can even be used as a bed when driving outside. This made Rang Weidong, who had originally decided not to drive back to Shangzhou again, decide to drive again.

However, when he started the car, he didn't catch a glimpse of the small figure hanging nimbly on the tailgate. It only climbed into the car quietly after getting on the road, and sat leisurely with its back against the cockpit and crossed its legs.

Then, to our surprise, we pulled over to the city center not far from the dock and pressed ourselves hard against the empty side wall.

Weidong asked someone from the store to come out and take the things away before returning to the military station.

He strolled out humming a little tune. The little guy jumped out and followed him from a distance after seeing him go far away. After confirming that he really entered the restaurant across the street, he immediately turned around and walked along the wall back to the pier.

Only the guard at the gate of the military station was puzzled, as he seemed to have never seen such a child go in and wondered how he could come out.

But what is even more puzzling are the other shops on this delicious street.

Where did these greenhorns come from?

The temperature is already rising in mid-April, and the Jiangzhou people's temperament of being on the waterfront and their love of eating and drinking outdoors are becoming more and more apparent.

It's a bit more restrained at noon, but during the dinner rush, almost all the shops on Haochi Street put tables and chairs on the sidewalk, in order to attract business and to provide more seats.

Baifengshan Malatang does not have these methods.

It was a quiet affair, with no firecrackers, no flower baskets, and no grand opening rewards as in later times.

The two food carts blocking the entrance were arranged in an L shape, with one of them blocking the storefront to form a passage. The tin-covered table was filled with twenty or thirty kinds of meat dishes, and there were only two kinds of skewers: five-cent vegetarian and one-cent meat.

There is a spicy and delicious soup pot on the stand facing the street, and the other one is indeed a sour soup pot in the mountain style of Baifeng Mountain. The two flavors cross fire and harvest the smell of the road.

A few young men and women who had nothing to do were sitting inside stringing skewers. Lao Rang couldn't bear to see his son pick up the newspaper and read it again: "If you want to act like a gentleman, go upstairs and don't be an eyesore in the store."

She was very happy that her son was educated, and she didn't want him to be educated, but she didn't know how to express it.

The boys and girls laughed muffledly.

Wei Dong was baffled. "Just scald your food, why bother with me? I need to find a place to eat. I get a headache just by smelling this."

I don’t know if it’s because he ordered too much takeout in his previous life, but he has no appetite for this kind of hot dish. He likes any home-cooked dishes made by his mother or Dong Xueying much more.

He put away the newspaper and strolled out from the back door. Here, there was a large area of ​​old and dilapidated houses similar to the shabby alleys in Pingjing, but they exuded a laziness that was rarely seen in the city. The stalls selling haircuts, facials, ears and bones were very popular with Weidong.

The result was as if the plague god had been sent away. As soon as he left, passers-by came in out of curiosity, smelling the scent.

For just two or three cents, you can enjoy a bowl of hot spicy hot pot or sour soup with meat and vegetables, and plenty of white rice!
Two people can eat until they are full for only 80 cents.

If you add some cold vegetables and meat dishes and a bottle of beer or Lao Baigan, it is simply a real treat.

The reason why it has become a famous food street in Jiangzhou City is that around meal times, the road is so crowded with people coming and going that even cars have difficulty moving around.

Hit the hall quickly!

The restaurant was packed with people, and soon a crowd formed outside to watch: "What dish is this? What is Malatang?"

"It smells similar to hot pot, but this is cheaper..."

Hotpot is Jiangzhou's signature dish, but nowadays, a serving of vegetarian dishes generally costs 20 cents, sliced ​​meat 50 cents, duck intestines and eels 70 cents, hairtail fish 80 cents, and luncheon meat is a large dish, which costs 1.5 yuan.

Even the entry-level oil disc costs fifty cents.

If two people eat together, even if they are modest, it will cost about five yuan. If a few people eat as much as they want, it may cost seven or eight yuan per person.

The price here is a few tenths of the price, and the taste is similar.

Just ask whether it has strong lethality.

Especially the taste of the sour soup pot was not available in Jiangzhou city before.

Crazy pursuit.

The entire store was quickly crowded with people standing up with their bowls and plates to eat: "Sure, sure, it's delicious!" "I absolutely have to!"

"Put in more seats. Are you really going to let customers stand and eat more?"

"I've never encountered anyone drinking while standing!"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, it seems like I swallow it extra fast when I'm standing up."

Lao Rang was soon so busy that he had to smoke a cigarette to stay awake. This was more tiring than laying bricks!

The guys rolled up their sleeves to collect the dishes, and washed them in the big wooden basin outside the back door before using them. The girls were also sent upstairs to prepare the dishes, and they kept shuttling back and forth to bring down the dishes one by one.

Everywhere people were shouting, "Wow, there's no more meat!"

"The intestines are gone, what should I do?"

"I pulled my intestines out and cut them out for you. How would I know?"

"Brother Dong, where is Brother Dong?"

"Forget it, don't bother him, or your uncle will scold you."

"I'm afraid the vegetable patch in my backyard can't even sustain a day of eating here."

"Oh my god, if this happened in my house, I'd probably have to kill a pig and sell it!"

“There’s no more white rice!”

Anyway, just chat by yourself, and if it’s gone, it’s gone.

It was all thanks to Weidong who came yesterday and asked his double-row car to haul half a truck of vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, and bean sprouts.

It can be displayed continuously.

The diners are not picky and eat whatever is available.

Super cheap and tasty.

The three people squatting on the other side of the street were all stunned: "Big brother, this is a very good business man."

The older sisters couldn't help but drool: "It smells so good."

The eldest brother thought: "If I follow my eldest brother, I can eat this every day. It is even more delicious than the hot pot that the second master used to cook."

Shen Cuiyue's eyes dimmed: "Come on, I'll take you to eat hot pot."

In fact, I had never suffered much before, and my brother even curled his lips and said, "It doesn't taste like that."

My sister immediately became furious and wanted to hit someone!

The younger brother was really smart: "Third sister, look there is a vacancy over there, call a doctor! (Outsiders ask Jianghu people to solve the problem)"

Therefore, only people in the underworld are accustomed to those petty thefts. They are like-minded and can tell that they are fellow travelers at a glance.

Just at the door of a hot pot restaurant on the side, two burly men were standing there. The people next to them were gesticulating and pointing at the shop and spitting. When they saw the empty shop behind them, they knew that they were angry about the loss of their business.

The eldest brother laughed and said, "Didn't the eldest brother pay his respects to the boss?" He was immediately slapped in the face and cried out in pain.

"Don't talk about this now!" The third sister looked intently and said, "This gang is still making money without knowing whether to live or die!"

Sure enough, the two men whispered a few words and walked to the door of the store with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. The originally crowded diners and passers-by would subconsciously make way as long as they looked back at their undisguised ferocity.

Then he said to Lao Rang in a sinister tone: "We ate here yesterday and got diarrhea after returning home. We have to pay for it!"

Lao Rang, cigarette in hand, was so busy that his entire body was operating like a robot. Now he was dumbfounded: "Yesterday?! We just opened today!"

The cigarette butts fell down and I had to quickly brush them off so that they didn't get into the pot.

The thugs were just looking for an excuse, there was no logic in it: "I don't care, anyway, you guys got diarrhea after eating the food, so hurry up and pay me, or I'll smash your store!"

Another one stood on the side and tried to move the food cart with all his strength, trying to overturn the stall directly.

Who would have thought that this dining cart, which was equipped with two liquefied gas tanks and two large pots of soup weighing dozens of kilograms, was extremely heavy, as it was actually a metal water pipe frame lined with wooden boards and covered with tin sheets.

Weidong and the others added pulleys to push the vehicle from underneath, and it took seven or eight guys working together to get the vehicle in and out.

Now I shook it but it didn't move.

But Lao Rang was anxious: "What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?"

There were still some guys busy helping around him, and they shouted quickly.

Goudan and five or six others immediately squeezed out with difficulty.

But when the experts who often do evil see him, the younger brothers all curl their lips and say, "Brother, these Kolangma (country bumpkins) are all cowards."

That’s right, country people are naturally shorter than city people.

Not to mention that he is such a vicious and cruel character that everyone in the city has to give in to him.

The young men were strong, but they didn't dare to curse at each other. They just squeezed together and pressed down the dining cart to protect Lao Rang.

They dared to fight against thieves and bandits, but they had no intention of resisting the gangsters in the city.

The two thugs became more confident and more arrogant: "Close the door immediately and pay me!"

Shen Cuiyue stood up, tiptoed and looked around, but did not see Rang Weidong.

I gritted my teeth and crossed the road by myself.

　Happy Chinese New Year to everyone
