Chai Li sighed again: "Uncle Li is a hard-working man, under the pursuit of the enemy, he really has no choice but to hide in Black Rock City." Fortunately, he lived in the human world for many years, so he learned this craft and made a living from it. ”

"Chai Zuoling, you're here!" That Uncle Li greeted Chai Li very warmly, and I could see at once that Chai Li was very good at eating in this area. Her identity as the Bright Moon Army is one thing, and the other side

It's her character, because from Uncle Li's eyes, I see a kind of respect from the bottom of my heart.

As the leader of the Mingyue Army in the past, it is not surprising that she is familiar with the people in the jurisdiction, but whether she can win respect is another matter. It can be seen that Chai Li is a practical person.

Chai Li did not put out the leader's score, but said with a smile: "Uncle Li, business is good." I have a guest today, from the real world, so you can cut half a catty of mutton, and put more chopped green onions and coriander. ”

"Such a handsome offspring, and only such a posterity can be worthy of a big beauty like Chai Zuoling!" Uncle Li smiled, and after making a joke about Chai Li, he didn't care whether Chai Li blushed or not, so he said to me again: "Housheng, I just don't look at Chai Zuoling's face, I will rush you for coming from the human world, and I won't charge you money for these two bowls of mutton soup this morning." ”

The flush on Chai Li's face had not completely dissipated at this time, and she hurriedly said, "Uncle Li, how can this work? It's not easy for you to do a small business, how can I not give money?"

Uncle Li was very stubborn: "Chai Zuoling, aren't you going to see the outside." Don't say that you give more money every time, let's just say that a few months ago, Chai Xiong and Skinny Monkey came to collect protection money, if you didn't come forward, my small shop would be smashed. ”

Chai Li said that she didn't want to take advantage of this small advantage, and kept waving her hand: "Uncle Li, no matter what you say, you must collect today's meal money, otherwise, we won't eat here." ”

"...... here" Seeing Chai Li insisting so much, Uncle Li was a little in a dilemma, so he had to look at me with a pleading gaze: "Housheng, you persuade Chai Zuoling." Isn't it just two bowls of mutton soup, why bother to see it like this?"

I smiled: "Uncle Li, she doesn't necessarily listen to my words!"

Uncle Li shook his head: "Housheng, although I don't know what you came to Black Rock City for, but my eyes are not blind, I can see it, I'm just afraid that if you speak, Chai Zuoling will definitely listen." ”

"Is it Uncle Li, hearing you say this, I want to give it a try, just to see if Chai Li gives me this face. I happily said to Chai Li: "Sister Li, you should give me a face, give Uncle Li a face, and you won't pay for these two bowls of mutton soup." ”

Chai Li saw me say this, so she had to nod: "Okay, you are the one, what you say is what." ”

"That's right. Okay, the mutton soup will be there soon. Uncle Li happily went to get busy.

I don't have any surprises about Chai Li's performance. You must know that in the provincial capital, Chai Li, as Chai Juan's secretary, can be called a source left and right, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and her ability to communicate with foreign affairs, which is really not said.

I saw that there was liquor in the cabinet inside, so I said to Chai Li: "Sister Li, I remember that you have a very good amount of alcohol, or let's get a bottle and drink it, just drinking mutton soup doesn't seem to be enough." ”

I didn't say this casually, because I remember that when Chai Juan's company held its annual meeting, it was this Chai Li girl who not only blocked a lot of wine for Chai Juan, but also killed all sides and drank many men.

Chai Li hurriedly waved her hand and said: "That was more than a year ago, what was your identity at the beginning, and what is your identity now, the vicissitudes of life, so Sister Li, I am also old, and I can't drink anymore." ”

"Sister Li, how can you be considered old, and you haven't even found your brother-in-law yet?" As soon as this sentence came out, I regretted it a little, since I didn't plan to develop a relationship with Chai Li, then I should pay attention to what I said, and I couldn't let my own interests come. In case people misunderstand, the consequences are unimaginable.

At this time, Uncle Li had already brought the mutton soup, so I said to him: "Uncle Li, bring a bottle of wine, and make a few side dishes, I will reunite with Sister Li's old friend, and I have to drink a few glasses anyway." ”

"That's it!" Uncle Li looked a little surprised, because except for drunkards, there were not many people drinking early in the morning.

But he quickly came back to his senses and smiled at me: "Housheng, I know that young people can't let go, and after drinking, it's a different situation, Uncle Li, I also came from a young age, of course I understand this." ”

Hearing Uncle Li say this, Chai Li's face began to turn red again, and she stomped her feet and said, "Uncle Li, what do you say, if you say it again, don't want the money for today's drink." ”

Uncle Li laughed: "I said that I invited this meal, and I won't accept it even if you give money." ”

As he spoke, he limped on one leg and went to prepare food and drinks.

I could see that he was genuinely happy, and perhaps he thought that Chai Li had finally found a good home. I admit that Chai Li is a good girl, but unfortunately, my feelings have been divided into many parts, and I don't want to provoke Chai Li anymore.

It's been a long time since I've drunk such a refreshing mutton soup, and it tastes absolutely authentic, just like in my hometown. I was so drunk that I didn't close my eyes last night, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. Although Uncle Li was lame, he cooked quickly, and as soon as Chai Li and I finished drinking the mutton soup, he brought the wine and food.

An egg, a peanut, a spicy shredded potato, and a cold beef salad are all common side dishes, but each one is full of color and flavor.

I looked at the liquor, and it turned out to be from our hometown, which was a coincidence. I opened the wine, poured two full teacups, and handed a glass to Chai Li: "Sister Li, just a bottle of wine, you can't leave if you can't finish it, this is an order." ”

"Cheng, Li Ming, this is how you repay the grace of saving your life, I can be regarded as having seen it. "The official level crushed people to death, not to mention that I am the city lord who has the final say alone, Chai Li has no choice, so she has to respond.

Both of us had a good amount of wine, of course, Chai Li's wine was better, and after a while, half a bottle of wine went down.

We drank and chatted, and from Chai Li, I quickly figured out the details of Black Rock City.

"Old Li Tou, business is booming!"

Just when Chai Li and I were getting happier and happier the more we drank, suddenly a few people suddenly walked in from this small shop that didn't even have a signboard, and they looked like they were coming to eat at all. What makes me even more surprised is that these people are wearing exactly the same uniforms and look very formal. I'm a little surprised, in the outer city of Black Rock City, except for the Bright Moon Army, it seems that there are no other violent organs.

A look of deep hatred flashed in Chai Li's eyes, and then she snorted coldly: "They are from Longxin Group. ”

"Longxin Group?" I took a closer look, and sure enough, on the armbands of these people's uniforms, there was indeed a dragon embroidered with teeth and claws.

"A bunch of scum! Even if you cut off all their heads now, you won't wronged a single one!"

In my impression, Chai Li is a very calm person, and I am really surprised that she can be so excited. So he turned his head to see what these people wanted to do when they came to Uncle Li's shop for no reason.

But as soon as I turned around, my pupils shrank sharply, because I saw the last thing I wanted to see.

"To'o's blessing, I can still fill my stomach with this small business. Captain Zhang, this is the cost of the small shop this month, five taels of silver, you take it. ”

Uncle Li respectfully handed over the silver, his movements were quite neat, looking at his posture, I knew that these people were not easy to mess with, and each of them was not a fuel-efficient lamp. I thought to myself, such a small storefront, and the house is so dilapidated, the cost of five taels of silver a month is quite high, if it weren't for Uncle Li's good business, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of it. Listening to the meaning of their words, the house here seems to belong to Longxin Group. I really didn't expect the strength of Longxin Group to be so strong, and the real estate has come here, you must know that it is only four or five miles away from the headquarters of the Mingyue Army, and it is almost under your nose.

I didn't expect that Captain Zhang would push Uncle Li's hand away very roughly: "Old Li, are you blinded by lard, we have already informed you, the cost will be doubled this month, are you pretending to be confused?"

Captain Zhang sat down on a chair proudly, and then said word by word: "Ten taels of silver, if you don't pay it, leave as soon as possible, there are a lot of people waiting to rent it behind?" I'll count three times, if you don't take out the silver, believe it or not, I'll smash your sheep soup pot!"

As soon as they heard that Captain Zhang and they were going to smash the pot, the few remaining diners in the restaurant hurriedly settled the account and left in a panic.

Uncle Li was angry and anxious, and tears were about to come out: "Captain Zhang, I signed a contract, and the contract said that we only need to pay three taels of silver every month, but last month it suddenly rose to five taels of silver, and this month it is even more outrageous, it has risen to ten taels of silver, which should not let people live." If we raise the rent casually, what's the point of the contract we signed in the first place?"

Uncle Li is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, so what he said is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is reasonable.

But he was reasonable, but Captain Zhang didn't reason with him: "Old Li, don't get excited, say something slowly." I ask you, is there a clause in the contract, if in doubt, the final interpretation right belongs to our Longxin Group. So why not adjust the rent according to the quality of your business?
