After sending Gu Zhong away, he opened the box he got back, and inside was a copper hot pot, with an outer diameter of 26 cm, which was much larger than the hot pot that could be seen at home, and the style was also different, with a small damper underneath, which was used to adjust the fire. "Look, how about using this?"

"Okay, let's buy some mutton at night and try it," Li Xueqing rubbed for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiaoxiao, I think of a big thing!" If everyone eats hot pot around and the door is closed, is there a risk of gas poisoning? This is no joke. ”

Luli told him that he was fluted, which he didn't expect either! Yes, indeed, how did you forget the most important thing? Gas poisoning can kill people! And in his original plan, the four floors of the Sparrow Pavilion were to be used, of which the first to third floors were used as dining rooms, and the fourth floor was used as offices.

Xu Yunjian punched Li Xueqing, and said scoldingly: "Fourth, what can you do?" Where do you get so much talk? ”

"Xu Yunjian, you don't talk nonsense!" Lu Li scolded him, "The fourth brother is right about this, but I didn't think it through." I have to think about individual solutions, and you can help me think about it? ”

"We can't do it, and we can't think of it at all, so it's better for you to think for yourself." Xu Yunjian stood up and patted the two companions, "Xiaoxiao, you can figure it out yourself, I'll take them out for a walk." ”

Lu Li thought about it wholeheartedly, and he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't expect the purpose of these three people to be so dirty, "Okay, go early and come back early." Come back in the evening for dinner. ”

"Yes." Xu Yunjian gave the two companions a look, and the three of them grabbed their clothes randomly. I slipped down the fire ladder and went downstairs.

Luli sat on the rooftop, stunned! Charcoal burning, there must be gas, this kind of thing will rise with the hot air, theoretically, except for customers on the first floor, will not be smoked. The only way to escape from the other floors is to open the doors and windows, which of course will alleviate a little, but it will not be 100% safe, and this is not in line with his original intention: where can the doors and windows be opened with the air conditioner on?

After sitting for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, he was really a little irritable, and he looked at the hot pot under his feet and was secretly angry. Is it for your sake that I delay my plan to make a fortune? There is no door! "Xu Yun Sword?"

“…………”

What about people? Turning his head to look for it, he remembered that the three of them went out to change the street scene. "Bastard thing, you can't help at all, you know how to play blindly!" He muttered a few curses, turned his head to lock the door, and went down the fire ladder all the way.

All the way. Luli was always thinking about a countermeasure in his head, but he had no clue. Not to mention finding a solution, walking forward with his head down, one accidentally bumped into a passerby who was moving forward, "Oh, I'm sorry! ”

After this crash. Lu Li seems to be a little enlightened: one person is short of wisdom, and two people are long, isn't it okay to find a professional to ask? The question is, where to find people with such knowledge? Suddenly he heard someone on the side of the road calling his name, and there are people here who know him? Look up. It was Chen Qiqi! "Miss Kiki, morning."

"Morning." Chen Qiqi smiled, picked up the things in her hand, ran across the road with a smoke, and when she arrived in front of him, a little beads of sweat oozed from her youthful face, and she looked very crystalline, "Mr. Lu, you ...... Back again? ”

"Yes, it's back. I arrived yesterday and went to the bank once, and I wanted to tell you that you weren't there. ”

"Yes," Chen Qiqi nodded frequently and said with a smile: "A friend of mine got married, and I went to her wedding." So I took a few days off. ”

Lu Li smiled and nodded: "I've never seen a Hong Kong wedding, if there is such a situation in the future, take me to see it?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Qiqi smiled and said, "This time, one of our sisters received a ...... Well, Hanaboo, we all say that the next person to get married will be her. At that time, if Mr. Lu is still in Hong Kong, I will invite you to attend the ceremony as well. ”

Lu Li didn't know what flower balls and the like did, but he also guessed that it was a local custom, so he smiled and said nothing, "By the way, Mr. Lu, are you the only one here this time?" ”

"Don't worry, Xu Yunjian has also come back. Not only him, but also two other friends, when I have time, I will introduce them to you. ”

Chen Qiqi's face turned red with shame (Lu Li secretly thought, this girl really loves to be shy), "What, it's not like this." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing, nothing." Chen Qiqi shook her head a little flustered, lifted the bag in her hand, and smiled, "Mr. Lu, I'm going home, goodbye." ”

"Oh, goodbye." After saying a few words to Chen Qiqi, the two of them waved goodbye, Lu Li had no purpose, just went downstairs to wander at will, and at this moment he felt that his boredom came inexplicably: if you can't think of it, don't think about it for the time being, will the living still let the urine suffocate to death? Thinking about it like this, I was in a little more cheerful mood, and I walked all the way down Georgia Street, and I saw a few people gathered on the side of the road from a distance, with their heads down, as if they were looking at something?

Luli was curious for a moment, and walked away from the crowd, ah! It was a pale puppy, really small, with a head no bigger than his fist, and pitifully buried his chin in his paws, looking listless. The people around him whispered, and he didn't understand it anyway, so he squatted down and scratched the dog's head a few times, the puppy seemed to understand this kind of gesture, looked up, stretched out his pink tongue and licked his palm, which made him itch and couldn't help laughing.

Only then did he notice that the dog was so thin that through its fur, he could touch its ribs, and he didn't know if it was abandoned or for some reason, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten, "Little one, are you hungry?" What can I take you to eat? He got up and left, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to say hello, "Hey, come on?" ”

The dog was very clever, and got up on one of his feet, followed him, wagged his little tail, and went in unison.

I found a restaurant on the side of the road, ordered two servings of rice, and asked for a pork intestine. Mixing the meat and vegetables into a plate and putting it at his feet, the puppy rushed over with grinning teeth, and without saying a word, he ate wildly, as if the store was still very dissatisfied. "Hey, the cutlery has been used for it, what will I do in the future?"

"I bought this set of utensils, okay?"

"That's what you said, but no one forced you?" The shopkeeper nodded and raised his voice to greet, "Ah Quan, count the tableware in this gentleman's account!" ”

One person and one dog had a beautiful meal and walked out of the restaurant. "Dog, go yourself. I've got to do my own thing. ”

The dog neither called nor followed, as if he did not quite understand the meaning of his words, and watched the man who had fed him walk away, and obediently lay down at the door again, and regained the pitiful appearance of the stray dog.

Lu Li went all the way to Causeway Bay and walked into Zhang Dadong's law firm again. "I really don't understand sometimes a lawyer like Pei Dazhuo. I don't know how many lawsuits I have to take on in a day, and I'm so busy, hello, it's like a dead body that hasn't changed for fifty years, oh, thank you. ”

Zhang Dadong didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all. I thought it was funny, and asked again and again, and Lu Li explained to him again: "Before the liberation of the mainland and in the early days of liberation, and even during the Cultural Revolution just past, because of the relative sparseness of the urban population. As a result, many parts of the city have become almost no-man's land that is rarely frequented. This provides a natural setting for many people to commit suicide. ”

"These people are either in debt, or because their wives are separated, or because they have been humiliated, or because they have no love, whatever the reason, in short, they have chosen to go to the road of no return. When the body is found, there will be a person in charge of guarding, and this person's task is to wait for the official arrival, find out the cause of death, and then leave - his kind of work, there is a special requirement, that is, from the moment the deceased is found, the body must not be left. This is called the corpse not leaving the ground. ”

"That's not right, he can't leave, who is going to inform the authorities?"

"Of course it's his companions, and this kind of work is done by two people."

Zhang Dadong smiled bitterly, shook his shoulders contrivedly, and made a shuddering expression, "This kind of work, no matter how much money I give me, I won't do it." ”

"Under normal circumstances, those who do this kind of work are lonely old men who have no children or daughters in their lives, let alone a wife. The so-called tiger dies like a man, and a man dies like a tiger, and it really takes a bold person to do it - you don't understand this either? ”

Zhang Dadong pondered for a while, and quickly understood, "Understood, understood!" Ha ha! The words of northerners are sometimes really quite philosophical. Oh, Lu Sheng, you came this time, what's the matter? ”

"Yes, I have a question, I want you to help me think about it, it is about the hot pot restaurant I am going to carry out in the future, a friend of mine proposed that the hot pot burns, there will be gas, and the gas is deadly, but I am going to install hot pot on three of the four floors, do you have any good way?"

"It's easy, can't you just install pipes and use them for smoking?"

Luli immediately came to his senses, he felt like he had come to the right place, "What kind of pipe?" Can you elaborate on that? ”

Zhang Dadong took the pen and paper and drew a sketch randomly, "Well, that's it, in the center of the restaurant, a central pipe is erected, and it will ...... like an octopus in the future, don't you know what an octopus looks like?" I'll be back and show you the pictures. In short, there are multiple tentacles, and the bottom of each tentacle is just facing a table, and the carbon gas in the hot pot naturally floats away with the pipe. It will never cause harm to the guests. ”

"But, in that case, does the environment in the restaurant become messy? And, does this kind of pipe have such an effect? ”

"It depends on how you do it, first of all, you can pre-bury the pipes when you decorate, and all you can see in the store is the slender metal pipes hanging down, which are made delicately and neatly, and there will not be many problems; In addition, you can install an exhaust fan in the main pipe to create a negative pressure, so that the pumping effect will be better. ”

"I see, it's like a fan, blowing under a hot pot, isn't it?"

"The children can be taught!"

Lu Li laughed, asked a few more questions, waved goodbye to Zhang Dadong, and went downstairs. (To be continued......)
