Chapter 77: Let's Go to Dinner Together
Hua'er didn't talk to Kang Xu anymore, and she didn't plan to waste her lips and tongues with this annoying man, so she returned to the stall and continued her own business.
Kang Xu touched the bridge of his nose, hesitated, and did not follow. Hua'er's contemptuous eyes, if you want to say that you don't care at all, it's fake, he is also a big man, and he is looked down upon, so he breathes a sigh of relief in his heart.
Looking at the passers-by coming and going, he hoped that he could find a way to get money and get out of the predicament as soon as possible.
Just when he was at a loss, scratching his ears and cheeks, a man popped out of nowhere, sat next to him with a grin, put his hand on his shoulder, and said in a warm tone, "Hey! brother, what are you worried about?"
Kang Xu shifted his position and patted the place touched by the man in disgust, "It has nothing to do with you, I'm not familiar with you!"
"Don't mind! all brothers in the four seas, meeting is fate, let's go, I invite you to go down to the restaurant, let's talk while eating, and we will soon get acquainted." The man pulled Kang Xu and invited warmly.
"Hey, let go of me, who's going to go to the restaurant with you?" Kang Xu was in an unhappy mood, and instinctively struggled with rejection.
However, his strength was weaker, and the man's thick figure was not something he could shake, so he was dragged to a small restaurant.
Kang Xu was most disgusted by the compulsion of others, this experience was terrible, so he screamed desperately, "What are you doing, let go of me! Get out of ......"
The man's swarthy face grinned, "Hahaha...... Little brother, brother, I just invited you to dinner, and I don't want to treat you like this, don't be ashamed like a big girl. β
"Take a walk, eat and drink together, there are good things waiting for you to enjoy!"
Kang Xu struggled all the way with a red face and a thick neck, and he almost shouted for help in his mouth. When the passers-by next to him passed by, they inevitably pointed and pointed, but the man viciously threatened: "What do you see, Lao Tzu invites his brother to drink! Get away from it, don't look for trouble!"
Passers-by were shocked by the man's fierce appearance, and they all took a detour, not daring to say anything at all, but just discussing it one after another.
"You see, the man's face is full of meat, like a pig killer, and he looks very strange, not like the people in our village. A lady hugged a bamboo basket for grocery shopping and whispered.
"I seem to know, that man...... I heard that he is a foreman who specializes in using a pretense to deceive people into doing day labor. An uncle, carrying a hoe, also said what he knew.
"What kind of day work do you do? Actually, you take people as slaves, and I heard that he has a brickyard...... The people inside work day and night, not only do they not get a dime, but they don't even have the freedom to live. The young man plucked his ears and said disdainfully.
"So, that little brother from out of town was targeted by him?" The eldest lady looked at Kang Xu with some pity and was still struggling.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten, pitiful! Don't look at that man alone, I just looked, there are probably a few accomplices around, we can't afford to mess with it. The young man spread his hands, and he had an expression that was not ruthless, but really a powerful opponent.
"Is that the end of it? This kind of profiteer, you should report him. β
"Heh, you are too naΓ―ve, his tile factory is the only tile kiln factory within a radius of 100 miles, without him, where will we buy materials to build a house in the future?"
"Besides, he hasn't killed anyone, he will lock you up for half a year at most, and then he will be driven out, and he will personally send you home for the passage fee. β
"Do you know what the concept of sending you in person is? It is to know where your home is, and how many people there are. Therefore, many people did not dare to report him in order to go home and not to affect their families. β
"Tut-tut...... It's hateful!"
Seeing that Kang Xu was about to be taken into the small restaurant, after listening to everyone's gossip and hearing the flowers, he stepped forward without hesitation and patted the man's shoulder, and coldly ordered: "Let him go!"
The man is not from Wantang Village, he doesn't know the flowers, and when he saw her beautiful face, his eyes suddenly lit up, touched the corners of his mouth, and said with bad intentions: "Yo! I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful girl in this township, brother, I want to invite this little brother to eat and drink, and the sister will come together?"
Hua'er's eyes narrowed, and she sneered: "Hmph, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, since you're so gracious, then I'm welcome." β
"Huh...... Interesting, then please!" The man reached out and made a gesture of please.
Because of the addition of flowers, Kang Xu stood up straight with some embarrassment, but he no longer struggled.
The three of them walked straight into the small restaurant and found the largest private room, Zhao Tiangang sat next to Hua'er very schemingly, serving tea and pouring water, very attentive.
Later, a few strong men came in one after another, who seemed to know each other, and they didn't greet politely, and directly filled a round table.
The man put up a stand and introduced with a smug face: "Ahem...... My name is Zhao Tiangang, and I am the general manager of Zhaojiacun Tiangang Building Materials Company.
"Well, you can just call me Hua'er. Hua'er picked up the tea and took a sip without a sip.
She was busy going down the mountain to catch the market in the morning, and she forgot to bring water, and at this time she happened to be very thirsty, so she drank it unceremoniously.
Zhao Tiangang clapped his hands vigorously and said admiringly: "Wonderful, the girl looks as beautiful as a flower, so she should have a name like a flower, it's really ...... Mrs. is a perfect fit. β
He hit the snake with the stick, and stretched out his hand to touch the hand of the flower and test it.
Kang Xu, who was sitting on the cold bench on the side, handed over the cup full of tea in front of him with some unhappiness, and said, "This big brother, thank you for your treat, I will toast you with tea." β
"Well, good brother, thank you!" Zhao Tiangang took it happily, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said with some dissatisfaction: "However, this tea is really bland, there is no taste, we old men, if you want to drink it, you have to drink it really." β
Zhao Tiangang turned sideways and loudly instructed the strong man on the side, "Little Si, go and go, ask the boss to bring a few catties of millet wine, and I will ask the brothers to fight for the tooth sacrifice." β
"Okay, Mr. Zhao!"
In front of people, in order to show his identity, Zhao Tiangang also learned from the people in the city, so that the guys below were not allowed to call him Boss Zhao, Brother Zhao, etc., they could only call Mr. Zhao.
The little four farts ran away, and after a while, a small barrel was brought in, and after opening the lid, a strong aroma of wine came to the face, and when you smell it, you can know that it is definitely a good wine made from grain.
The strong men like to drink this kind of wine very much, and they are gluttonous one by one, and they can't wait for Zhao Tiangang's instructions, and they can't wait to put the wine into the big bowl of food in front of them.
In front of Hua'er and Kang Xu, it was no exception.
