Chapter 65: Yang Zhi
When a few of us came to the food stall, we saw that it said Zhengyang lion's head and Yangzhou fried rice. Zhao Mingyang didn't ask the price and shouted directly: "Boss, come with three lion's heads and six bowls of fried rice." The boss was a middle-aged man in his 40s, so he said with a smile: "The lion's head is for sale, how many do you want for 10 yuan?" Zhao Mingyang replied with a smile: "Then let's try six first!" If it's delicious, ask for more. ”
"Hehe, you guys aren't locals, are you! Locals know that my Yang Kee lion head is the most authentic. This is our family's ancestral matching, and it has been passed down to me for the ninth generation. "Oh? Zhao Mingyang came to ask with interest: "Since what you said is so good, why don't you open a shop outside, but run to the edge of this thin West Lake to set up a stall?" Just when Zhao Mingyang was chatting with the boss, the lion's head was already out of the pot.
Six small bowls are placed in the six drawers, and in each small bowl is a lion's head the size of an orange. "Your crab roe lion head is ready, how about you taste it quickly! Fried rice is ready right away! "As soon as the lion's head was served, there was a fresh fragrance. Even if you haven't eaten it, you'll feel delicious! Zhao Mingyang: They couldn't wait to eat. Zhao Mingyang first used chopsticks to separate the lion's head, and put a small piece in his mouth. After chewing a few times, I only feel that the mouth is full of fragrance, melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, how can it be described as just delicious!
At this time, the fried rice was also ready, and it was served by the boss. Because it's past 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there is no one eating. The boss sat down and asked, "How's it going!" Is it tasty? I didn't lie to you! Zhao Mingyang and they all nodded, and while eating, they said vaguely in their mouths, "It's delicious!" It's so delicious! Something like that. Waiting for Zhao Mingyang to swallow the mouthful of rice in his mouth, he asked puzzledly: "Boss, your craftsmanship is so good, why don't you open a shop outside?" ”
Li Xiaotian also said: "Yes! Boss. I don't think your craftsmanship is worse than those century-old shops outside! Why don't you open a shop outside? The boss sighed and said, "Don't mention it!" Don't mention it! Zhao Mingyang and they were even more interested, and Zhao Mingyang felt that there must be a story in it. He said, "Boss, do you have anything to worry about?" Say it and we'll all help you figure it out! ”
The boss sighed and said, "It's useless! It's all my fault, it's me who is not good. It's going to make things the way they are today! Under the questioning of Zhao Mingyang and several people, maybe this matter has been held back in the boss's heart for too long and needs to be vented. The boss told Zhao Mingyang about the matter.
The boss's original surname was Yang, and his name was Yang Zhi! He is 42 years old. Five years ago, Yang Zhi's family still had a century-old shop, and with the efforts of his parents and wife, the business was quite good. Just 5 years ago, Yang Zhi met a friend who was a big boss. He is bold and often comes to their store to cheer. One night after the store closed, the friend came to him and asked him out for a drink. The two of them went to a bar together, and as soon as they had a drink, his friend said to take him to a place. And because he had drunk, he went with his friends. When I got to the place, I found out that it was a casino. When he entered the casino, his friend helped him buy tens of thousands of chips and let him play. He was reluctant at first, but his friend even said that he agreed. As soon as he started playing, he won hundreds of thousands. So this friend would take him to play every once in a while. In the first two months, Yang Zhi did win more than 2 million, and he almost never lost.
Later, a friend came to him and asked Yang Zhi to accompany him to Macau for two days, and said that he was so lucky, he was simply going to win every gamble. I asked him to go to Macau to play two games. At first, Yang Zhi still disagreed, and later his friend said Don't you want to expand your business and open a chain store? Depending on your luck, it's easy to go there and win tens of millions and come back, and expand your business. Yang Zhi was finally moved by what he said, so he went to Macau with him. At the beginning, he did win millions, but just when Yang Zhi wanted to play the last hand, an accident came. He lost. Won by your opponent's rival card. His friend persuaded him to win the money back with a few games.
Yang Zhi listened to his friend's words and continued to gamble. Who knows that the more you lose, the more you lose, and after losing all the money you won, you will also lose all the money you brought. A friend lent him 10 million for him to flip through, but he lost it again soon. At this time, my friend said that his 10 million was useful, and he would need a business in a few days. Yang Zhi needed to return the money to him within three days, and when Yang Zhi was at a loss, his friend proposed that he go to a loan shark to turn over the money and win the money back. Yang Zhi may also be in a hurry, so he agreed. After borrowing a loan shark, he lost it all, and his friend forced him to pay back the money, and the loan shark chased after him to repay the debt. Forced to mortgage the store to a friend, he had no money to repay the loan shark, and he was called to collect debts every day. He also cut off one of his fingers, his parents were angry with him, and his wife ran away with the child. Until now, he didn't dare to go back to his home, so he could only set up a stall in this Slender West Lake Scenic Area to make some money, and he had to find a place to hide every day.
From Yang Zhi's words, we know that Yang Zhi was deceived by his friend. So Zhao Mingyang asked, "What about that friend of yours?" Yang Zhi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know!" I haven't seen him since the day I mortgaged the shop to him. Later, I heard that he sold the store and left, and I don't know where to go. Xiao Han said, "Your friend is too much!" If something happened, he ran away by himself, that's it, return his friends! ”
Zhao Mingyang frowned and shook his head and said, "It's not that simple! Yang Zhi, it seems that you have fallen into someone else's game! Have you offended someone? Judging from what you said, this is a bureau set up for you by someone. Let someone approach you and get acquainted with you before taking you to the casino and letting you win some money first, but not too much. You can win more than 100,000 every day, think about it. How big did you guys get when you first started? ”
Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "It's really the same as what you said!" In the beginning, we played 5,000 or 10,000, and although I won every time, I didn't win more than 200,000 every time! But I haven't offended anyone! Zhao Mingyang thought for a while and said, "Since you haven't offended anyone, you must be a competitor in your business!" How much loan shark did you borrow? "10 million!" Yang Zhi said without thinking. "And how much is your store worth?" Yang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "That shop is our family's ancestral!" It was worth about 30 million or 40 million five years ago! ”
Zhao Mingyang said: "That's it." Think about it, you borrowed a total of 10 million from a friend and 10 million from a loan shark. After you mortgaged your shop to a friend, did the loan sharks come back to you except cut off one of your fingers? If they were really selling loan sharks, then you wouldn't have been doing business here so safely for the past 5 years. The loan sharks want to find you, and it's useless for you to run there. ”
Yang Zhi thought about it and felt that what Zhao Mingyang said was very reasonable, so he said: "Fuxing Building! It must have been done by those bastards in Fuxinglou! When they came to my house to buy our restaurant, my father and I refused. I didn't expect them to ask someone to set up a set for me! Alas! Why am I so stupid to fall into their trap! As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.
