Chapter 55 Collection of Protection Fees (I)
"This is my friend, named Zhuo Ran." I naturally introduced.
"Zhuoran, so familiar...... Oh, come to think of it, wouldn't it be Zhuo Jieyuan of Hangzhou City? Hu Pingping said.
Well, you're still a celebrity in Hangzhou. I looked at Zhuo Ran and didn't speak.
"It's down there, Brother Tai is ......," Zhuo Ran asked.
"Fortunately, the little one is Boss Bai's shopkeeper, and I will ask Zhuo Gongzi to teach me more in the future." Hu holds his fist horizontally.
"You're welcome." Zhuo Ran also returned the salute with a fist.
"Okay, this one is polite, that one is going to teach, aren't you bored?" I rolled my eyes, and if I didn't stop it, I guess they would be endless.
"Yes, yes, the little one will not be accompanied." Hu Ping said and returned to his counter, took out paper and ink, crackled and fiddled with the abacus, and then wrote on the paper, presumably keeping accounts.
"In the future, you can read with peace of mind. We had lunch here today. Go and get your mother! "I took Zhuo Ran around the store.
"Are you doing all this because of me?" Zhuo Ran asked.
"No, don't think too much." I know that Zhuo Ran is definitely the kind of person who is unwilling to accept gifts from others casually, otherwise he would have gone to shoot the Yi family's sycophants.
"Well, I'm still very useless."
In a corner where no one is around, Zhuo Ran sighed.
"Don't think too much about it, even if I borrow you first, you will pay me back later." I said, I don't really want him to pay me back, and if I don't say that now, he may not accept my help.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in the future." Zhuo Ran said.
"I believe in you. Okay, don't talk so much, go and get your mother. Hire a carriage to go. With that, I stuffed him with some broken silver.
Zhuo Ran hesitated for a moment, and finally went. I personally went to the kitchen and selected a fatty fish, asked someone to clean it up, and gave it to the cook.
I picked a quieter box on the second floor, and I sat down and waited for the arrival of Zhuo Ran's mother and son.
When a person is quiet, various thoughts inevitably appear in their minds. What I'm thinking about now is, where should I go after I have repaid Zhuo Ran's kindness?
Back to Cangshan? I miss that place, but I never want to go back to it.
Continuing to wander the world, it seems that I will be lonely alone.
Finally I sighed, not understanding how this was the way it was. Zhuo Ran's mother and son haven't come yet, I just lay on the table and dozed off, tomorrow? Think about it tomorrow!
"Xiao Li, why did you fall asleep?"
A voice woke me up, and when I looked up, it turned out to be Zhuo Ran's mother and son.
Rubbing my eyes, I got up: "Mother, sit down." ”
Xu came over and pressed me on the chair and sat down: "During this time, you went out early and returned late, it turned out that you were here, my mother blamed you, and if you want to come out in the future, my mother won't talk about you." ”
I was speechless, and her face became, and I remember that when I saw it this morning, she still had a stinky face at me.
"Thank you, mother!" What more can I say! I saw a guy appear at the door of the box, and I told him to bring up all the food.
"Xiao Li, I'm really sorry for you for this family."
I threw the side dishes into the charcoal-filled bowl in the center of the table, and heard Xu's words in my ears.
"It's okay to eat, mother, you eat this fish." I sandwiched a piece of cooked fish into Xu's bowl, hoping that she would not say any more, and I really couldn't get used to it.
"Well, it's delicious, you can eat it too, come, give my daughter-in-law a piece first."
Still couldn't block it, Xu Shi said and sandwiched a piece of fish meat for me.
All I can say is thank you.
At a meal, Xu's face was full of red light, but Zhuo Ran was silent. After dinner, I hired a carriage to see them off and stayed for myself. I didn't go home until the sun was about to set.
The next day, I came to the store very early, at this time there were no customers in the store, Hu Ping walked up to me and reported yesterday's net income, this income is too much, I actually have no concept, I think there is no loss.
The two guys were wiping the table and chairs, and I went over to see if I had met the standards I had requested, when I heard a voice sound: "Shopkeeper." ”
"What are the guests eating?" Hu asked in a horizontal voice.
"You're new here, is it doing well?" A voice asked.
"Thank you for coming, business is okay." Hu Ping said.
"It's okay, well, you see, the world is not very good now, maybe someone will be bad for you. But you can rest assured that our four brothers can protect you and your 'hot pot city'. But before that, you'll have to give us some errands. Another voice said.
It turned out that I was here to find fault, and I turned around to see that it was actually the four people I had played tricks on in Wanfu Restaurant, and I forgot their names for a while. They didn't see me because of the distance.
"I don't think that's necessary." Hu Pingping said.
"Haha...... then your store will be left with nothing in no time." The bearded man said.
"You are clearly robbers, if you dare to mess around, I will immediately report to the official." Hu Ping said confidently.
"Okay, you go and report it."
Those four people are clearly not afraid.
"San'er, go and report to the official." Hu Ping instructed a fellow.
The man glanced at the four men, took a step, and walked out of the gate.
"If you dare to go, I'll abolish you." Bull's eye picked up San'er who passed by.
Isn't that bullying me? I walked slowly towards them and said with one word in my mouth: "Let go of my people." ”
All eyes turned to me. The bearded man was the first to recognize me, pointed at me and shouted, "Hey, Qian Da, Feng Qi, didn't this woman play tricks on our woman at the 'Wanfu Restaurant' that day?" ”
Hu Ping rubbed to my side and said in a low voice: "Boss, why are you here, these people are not a good thing, you leave quickly, I will deal with them." ”
"Thank you!" I thanked Hu Ping and stopped in front of the four people.
"This girl is just our guest, it's none of her business." Hu Ping suddenly shouted.
"Why are you so nervous, we don't eat people. We just had a relationship with this girl. The one-eyed dragon said.
Bull's eye let go of San'er, stared at me and said, "Yes, yes, we are destined." ”
"If only something came at me. Also, this place is not mine, our boss is very powerful. You'd better get acquainted with each other and leave before he comes here. Hu Ping stood in front of me and said.
I was very touched by his actions, and having such an employee is considered to be my three lives.
But I couldn't let my employees be in any danger, so I walked around from behind Hu Ping to the front: "He's right, their boss is really powerful." ”
"Really? Where? You're not trying to trick us again, we're not that stupid. Mazi smiled evilly.
"Isn't it right in front of your eyes!" I say.
"Haha...... Do you mean yourself? ”
I knew that the result would be like this, and I was not in a hurry, so I let them laugh enough, but Hu Ping was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and whispered vigorously: "Dongjia, why are you stupid, let's go quickly, I'll drag them down." ”
