Chapter 30: The Day and Night Canteen
Qianmen is well-known not only because of the Qianmen Louzi and the urn city, but also because of the "Dashilar", "Jewelry Street" and "Fresh Fish Mouth", and of course, the "Eight Hutongs". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the solid commercial foundation inherited from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, from before the liberation to 1977, it has been the main business area that Beijing people are accustomed to patronizing.
At this time, the people of the old capital all know that as long as they go to the front door, go to the "Dashilar", and then go to the nearby streets for a walk, eat, drink and have fun, and take out the purchase and wear are all solved.
The prosperity here is no less than that of Xidan and Wangfujing, and it is not the later "one dragon of outsiders who are confused by outsiders".
Therefore, to be able to hold such a good ground, the "handle" and "eight forks" at the front door are not ordinary people.
Speaking of which, all industries pay attention to generational inheritance, if the "player" circle also starts from this point, I am afraid that no one's qualifications can really cross the "eight forks".
Before liberation, the uncle of the "Eight Forks" was the "head of the group" of the "poor family" in the Qianmen area, and he had been holding this piece of the fattest meat. Not only has he never let other people's chopsticks into his pot, but every shop inevitably gives him a piece of input, even the Hong family with the name "Yan", the Yue family of Qi Rentang, and the Meng family of Ruifuxiang are no exception.
From this, it can be seen that the "Eight Forks", who are nearly thirty years old, fat and not outstanding, can lead one side and control one side remotely, where does the ability to remotely control one side come from.
Don't look at the uncle of "Eight Forks" who has no children all his life, and he was killed by turning out old accounts in the "exercise", but this lonely old man in his sixties has eaten and drunk spicy food all his life, and has slept with countless girls, and he really doesn't lose money.
And even the last few years of his life did not delay his work. His means and unique work were left to the nephew of "Eight Forks", making this kid the best heir to take over his mantle. also made the "eight forks" follow him, and they can still call the wind and rain on the ground at the front door and eat in all directions.
Thursday, April 1, 1977.
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, in the "Qianmen Day and Night Canteen" of the West Grinding Factory, there are few people on the second floor of the special fried food, only seven or eight people at the table of "Eight Forks" are still chatting hotly, and they keep pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
This inevitably annoyed the waitress who yawned frequently. Because they are all acquaintances at the doorstep who know their roots, she naturally knows that this group of bastards may not leave without drinking until the early hours of the morning.
The "Eight Forks" are very fat, and they are still on their faces when they drink, and they are shirtless in the not hot room, and they have a hand towel for wiping sweat on their heads, and the two bottles of 65-degree Erguo on the table have bottomed out, and the dishes on the table are almost empty, leaving only a few plates of "peanuts", "mustard dun'er", "fried sesame tofu" and the like.
"Sister, two more bottles. ”
"Eight Forks" just took the last sip of wine, and waved at the waiter's eldest sister for a second round.
"Drink, drink, drink, drink you sooner or later. ”
The waiter's eldest sister "bang, bang" twice, and put the two bottles of two pots on the table with anger, making the plates on the table sound vigorously.
She was an old lady in her forties, with a sideways face and eyes almost embedded in the flesh. Temperament and service attitude, definitely a benchmark figure in a state-run restaurant.
But "Eight Forks" didn't care at all, and slapped the eldest sister's fat buttocks.
"It's not that we don't give money, and you're also working a big night shift. Just, you can sit down and get together with us to relieve your boredom, what a good thing!"
"Don't fucking fool around, my mother is older than your mother!"
Then, the waiter's eldest sister glanced at the "eight forks" again.
"I said, you kid, why did you see the sky and bring people here to bring people here? Why don't you go to the 'Judequan' and 'Duyi' next to you? I thank you, don't run here cheaply. Can't you let me stay up with you every day on the night shift, can you......?"
"Look at what you said. ”
Eight forks" One of his subordinates couldn't help but interject.
"'Judequan' and 'Duyi' get off work at half past eight, and you don't have many all-night businesses here. Besides, it's not cheap here, a seven-inch plate of boiled pork slices costs a dime and a penny, and the kung pao chicken costs five cents, but the taste is far worse than others......"
Naturally, the eldest sister didn't like to hear this, and the "piece of soup talk" was thrown out.
"It's not delicious, you're still here, it's cheap! I'm not happy to get out of here as soon as possible, our master still doesn't serve you!"
At this time, another subordinate of the "Eight Forks" shouted, "Eldest sister, what you said is wrong, is it? What is written on the wall? 'Serve the people'! We are the people!"
These words made the eldest sister even more angry, and she hit him in the head.
"The people? You are the people? You are not even worthy to be the sons of the people! Don't think I don't know what you do for a living! I should chop off your paws one by one!"
"Eldest sister, you're too ruthless! What's the matter, you have to read some neighborhood feelings, we didn't steal anything from you!"
The boy who was slapped covered his head and yelled.
The waiter's eldest sister is a roll of the eyes again.
"Cut, you're still picking on my eyes! Tell you, if you hadn't found my lost bicycle, I would have reported you to the Public Security Bureau!"
Speaking of this in a hurry, it seems that something is wrong, and "Eight Forks" interjects and wants to make a round.
"Eldest sister, we all know your personality in our hearts, so we don't have to say it. But I have to say, in fact, we are here, the main picture is a good feng shui. Don't look at us as Bai Ding'er, but you also know that this boundary is the original 'Zhenyang Building'. That is the top spot of the 'Eighth Building', Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, and Duan Qirui have all eaten here. My uncle was here back then, and he enjoyed the blessings of so many years without danger or danger, and we can't lose the old tradition, isn't ......"
But I didn't expect the eldest sister to not give "Eight Forks" face at all, pointing at his nose as if training the third grandson.
"Bullshit, you kid be careful, don't be like your uncle, and end up being shot!"
Well, it's not going to be good!
As soon as the "Eight Forks" saw this, they refused to suffer a loss, and immediately found a bargain in their mouths.
"Don't hide it from you, sister, I'm really not afraid! You don't know that my idol is 'Kang Baye' (Kang Tianxin, a famous Ga Zazi Liuliqiu in the capital in the late Qing Dynasty, relying on the Japanese revolver he bought, he has dominated the market for a long time. He was wanted by the government for frequent homicides, and was later captured by the government for the Xingyi boxing masters Shang Yunxiang and Ma Yutang, and the Peking Opera "Donghuangzhuang" interpreted this story. "Kang Xiaoba" also became the last prisoner to be executed in the late Qing Dynasty? When he got on the stage, he didn't let his eyelids go, and he watched how he was slashed with one knife after another! Hero! Big deal, before I die, I will make love to my sister and you, and I will die without regrets......
As soon as he said this, there was a "boom" on the table, like a pressure cooker opening the lid, and his brothers all slapped the table on the spot and coaxed. Everyone laughed unbridledly, like a flock of ducks in heat
And just when the waiter's eldest sister was so angry that her face was red and her eyebrows were raised, she heard a sound of the stairs, and five or six people came up from downstairs, and she happened to see the scene in front of her.
"Dogs, and they are molesting the women of good families! I owe you the sign of 'gardener' (black word, referring to ** criminal), and send them to the bureau with a urine bucket for the night. ”
Among these people, the leader was a man in his early thirties, who looked like a dwarf man, and he "roared when he saw that the road was uneven", and he took the "Eight Forks" group of people on the spot.
Not to mention, the "Eight Forks" were squeezed by this person, not only did they not get angry, but many people began to call the eldest brother.
In particular, the "eight forks" grinned and screamed in surprise.
"Who do I say? Yo, 'little landlord'. You're still alive, you haven't seen you for a while, which ditch did you crawl out of? Hey, what about 'Thorn Mei', why didn't you bring it out? You won't remarry, right?"
With these few words, the waiter's eldest sister had already seen that they knew each other, so she didn't bother to say hello, and only scolded angrily, "It's not a fucking good thing!" and turned her ass back to the chair to take a nap.
Needless to say, this person is the "handle" and "small landlord" of the overpass.
If you ask where is the most chaotic boundary in the entire capital, except for the north city where there is "poor virtue and victory gate, evil fruit city, and blind silk alley", I am afraid that the south side will be the first to push the overpass.
Because before the liberation, it was the area where bullies and ruffians were most widespread, and it was also the main place for folk artists and charlatans to mingle, and some people even thought that the flyover was the epitome of all the evil life in the old society.
After the liberation, although the flyover was also renovated and the performing arts activities were gradually banned, most of the residents who settled here are the descendants of those who used to make a living on the flyover, and this area is still the most troublesome area for the government to manage.
Therefore, the "small landlord" who can control one side of the territory all the year round in such a complex territory is also not a good man.
The "small landlord" has martial arts, and ordinary people can't fix him in three or four. also has qualifications, he entered the "Cannon Bureau" in five years, and spent five or six years in the "circle" before returning to society. is more prestigious, he never looks back at what he recognizes, as long as he can afford him, respond to requests, and stick a knife in both ribs. In this way, he not only talked and smashed the pit, but also accumulated popularity.
Of course, people like this are also quick tempered. So the "little landlord" had no interest in being poor with the "eight forks", but just waved his hand and pointed to a four-person table in the corner.
"'Eight forks', if you have something to say, let's sit down and talk. ”
"Yo, it's so serious, it's not like your style, when did you become so human?"
"Eight Forks" does not change the virtue of a hippie smile, but he also knows that the "small landlord" is "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing". So his mouth was teasing, and his body was not idle, he still moved his nest. Only let his subordinates call the brothers of the "small landlords" to the big table to drink.
Then the two of them went to a small table and sat down, and they both lit a cigarette, and the words of the "little landlord" followed.
"I don't have anyone to mention first. But you're a man, you're completely unpresented!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Sensei pretended to be with me, and I know about the 'Bow' raising money for the 'Red Boy'. Has the way of the world changed? The two dignified 'handles' will let a 'red boy' who has just returned to the capital be pressed to death, and there are only a few cubs in the hand? You two are now home!"
"Eight Forks" rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he didn't catch fire, but spit out a smoke ring, showing a cynical look.
"Wherever you go, you go wherever you go. No one can meet a crazy demon who doesn't know whether to live or die, and you know what kind of humanity 'Red Boy' is. He has few people, but he and the 'Chen Big Stick Mallet' together, they can top dozens of mouths. It would be a big mistake to start fighting against them, and if you don't play well, you won't be able to protect the night. What's more, the 'bow' himself is willing, and he can coexist peacefully, so why do he have to use a knife and a gun?"
The "little landlord" raised his voice, "You are a bastard, the more you live, the more you sob!"
The "Eight Forks" remained in its original state.
"It's okay, it's good to have courage, but it's also about scoring situations and against whom. It's just been two good days, and now it's the right thing to get money. The 'red boy' is also barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and his eyes are poor and green, so he wants to take a hand again. Don't worry, people, once you have money and live a comfortable life for a few days, you will naturally lose your anger. I don't think it's impossible to let him go, and in the end, it means not interfering with each other. Take a step back, hello me, hello everyone. Having said that, others can bear it, so why can't I? Learn from you and Da Long. ”
Hearing the last sentence, the old face of the "little landlord" turned red, and he couldn't help grinning "hehe" and laughing a few times. "Eight Forks" is definitely an understanding person, and he has long seen his deliberate instigation.
"Squeeze me, let's be honest, I just can't bear this breath today, so I'm looking for you to join forces. When the 'red boy' came back this time, he was not sensible. On the day of the 'standing stick', 'Thorn Mei' gave him a face. Hey, he beat up my guy the next day. The whole mad dog bites whomever it is! If you don't make him ruthless, the day after tomorrow will turn upside down. ”
"No, I don't think 'red boy' has ever seen any good goods, so I will be reckless in fighting for a 'mother-in-law'. Haven't everyone ever been young? Old thing, think you forgot about the scene when you hit seven and cut eight for the sake of 'Thorn Mei'? What's more, the affairs of the people below can't always rely on us to wipe their butts. It's like a child fighting, I was beaten and sued my parents, and if I want to leave it here, I have to be beaten first. To put it bluntly, is it worth it to make a commotion?"
After a long time of talking, the "Eight Forks" only dodged left and right and did not accept the move. The "little landlord" was a little impatient, and he threw his cigarette butt on the ground and complained half-angrily.
"I don't like to hear you say that. If you want to be a big brother, you have to be able to suppress your brother, get out of trouble, and rush to press things. We don't care about anything, who is still there for us...... Besides, it's not worth it for this, but for the money and the land?"
The last sentence really worked, and as soon as he came out, the "little landlord" saw the eyes of the "eight forks" unconsciously slip towards him. (To be continued.) )
