Chapter 34 The Hardships of People's Livelihood
Xue Xiang was so hungry that he smiled and agreed, then he took the chopsticks and attacked the bowl of oily, fragrant, half purple and red, half green and green donkey miscellaneous baked cakes.
As soon as the soup wrapped in the baked cake took his mouth, Xue Xiang felt his tongue jump, and it seemed that in an instant, all the taste buds were activated, fragrant, spicy, crispy, and strong, this wonderful taste suddenly aroused the gluttonous worms in his stomach to rebel.
At that moment, Xue Xiang picked up the chopsticks, opened his mouth, and like swallowing a river, hula, in an instant, he went down most of it.
The old man over there had just sent off a table of guests, and when he saw Xue Xiang eating sweetly, he was overjoyed, so he said, "Comrade, I still have spiced donkey meat made by the local method here, do you want to have some!" â
Xue Laosan hurriedly put down the bowl, "Come on two catties, this donkey miscellaneous spicy baked cake, and serve two more bowls!" â
Xue Laosan has encountered countless delicacies in his life, and today alone is the most eye-opening for him.
The old man waved his hand and beckoned the old woman to prepare the ingredients, and said happily: "I have already seen that the comrade is a big-bellied man, but we can take care of the spicy baked cakes, but the spiced donkey meat is not much, this is the signature of the little old man, and some guests still rush to this, so I can't give up so much, look at the little comrade is bold, and he is a foreigner, at most he will give you half a catty." â
"Chengcheng, self-managed, self-managed!"
As he spoke, Xue Xiang attacked the sea bowl again.
Now, he didn't gobble it up, although he took a big bite, he ate very slowly, he was waiting for the old man's food to pick up.
Sure enough, as soon as he put down the bowl, two bowls of spicy baked cakes and a plate of bright spiced donkey meat arrived.
At this moment, Xue Xiang's eating soared again, and in a moment, he emptied the two bowls and a plate.
See how sweet he eats. The old man was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "The guests have a good amount of food, when I was young, I was also able to eat like this, but the years are not forgiving, and now half a catty of donkey meat is very strong, and being young is a great blessing!" â
Xue Xiang smiled and said a few words, and said, "Uncle, the meal is finished." Can I rest here with you, I think it's cool for you! â
As he spoke, he handed over a large piece of unity, which he was so old that he couldn't figure out the price of food. Just handed over the biggest money, I expected three bowls of spicy baked cakes and half a catty of donkey meat, which was about the same price.
The old man took the money, and then took out a box full of red and patina, and while rummaging through it, he said happily: "Look at what you said." said that you still have a meal at my old man's place, but if you don't eat, passers-by will rest their feet, and you will do your best. "Say it. He shouted again: "Donkey, serve tea to this little comrade, big bowl!" â
After shouting, the old man counted the handful of change he took out one by one. After clicking it three times, it was handed to Xue Xiang. "Here, this is six pieces of six looking for you!"
Xue Xiang was taken aback, "Uncle, it can't be a mistake, I have eaten a lot, so I only need three yuan and four cents." â
When the old man heard him say that he was affordable here, he grinned and showed two rows of white teeth that young people may not have, "That's right, comrade, a bowl of Hu spicy baked cakes costs eight cents, half a catty of donkey meat is a dollar, three bowls of Hu spicy baked cakes, and half a catty of donkey meat is not three yuan and four cents!" â
Xue Xiang took the money and said, "Uncle, according to your selling method, you can't make any money!" â
The old man said with a smile: "The baked cake is home-baked, that is, it costs some flour, and the main ingredient of the soup is donkey miscellaneous, and this donkey is a thing that no one wants to pick up. â
"Ahem, ahem!" The old woman who was picking up the board suddenly coughed.
The old man said: "You cough, you still have to make money, look at your stinginess, is it possible that you are afraid that the little comrade will listen to it and come to steal business with us, what kind of eyes do you have, people can take a fancy to this!" â
Xue Xiang knew that the old woman was taboo, so he didn't follow to annoy people, changed the topic, and asked where the old man was from, family income, and local anecdotes.
Of course, Xue Laosan will not ask directly, but will knock on the side.
He has a lot of experience in visiting the grassroots in Xiaoshan, and knows how to talk to the grassroots people, and after a while, he chats with the old man enthusiastically, and even when the old man serves the new guests, he never stops.
The two of them were talking energetically, and the sudden change of shock.
"Old Diao slave, one more word, believe it or not, Lao Tzu has ripped up your mess and let you live the rest of your life in the bureau!"
The two followed the sound and looked, it turned out that it was the old woman and the northernmost guest who had a quarrel, the table guest turned his back to this side, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but the three of them were all in black uniforms, and there was a baton on the side of the table leg, like a public man, but it was definitely not a police dress, and what was even more surprising was that the tiger skin in the middle was still a woman!
Looking at the three of them again, and they are familiar, Xue Xiangzheng can be suspicious, and the old man who is serving the spices suddenly discards the pan and rushes over there.
"Few, several, there is something to say, there is something to say, dead old woman, don't cut donkey meat for Brother Da Fei, what kind of god!"
As soon as the old man ran over, he rushed at the three of them again and again, and sold them well.
The female tiger slapped on the small square table, "Don't talk nonsense, Xu Laohan, what Lao Tzu told you, have you thought about it, it's been three days, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to play with you, if you don't give a reply, don't put your stall here!" â
Obviously it was a female tiger, but it was a male voice, and the voice was so familiar, Xue Xiang was suddenly startled and recognized that these three people were coming, it was the long young man who was doing the game on the train, the middle-aged man with glasses, and the fat man with gold chains.
This surprise is really extraordinary, the reason why he thought that the eldest young man was a woman before was because of his long head, and if it was an ordinary person, even if he stayed long, Xue Xiang would definitely not be able to distinguish between men and women, but the eldest young man was wearing a uniform, just think about it, whether it is now or in the future, who eats public meals, which man dares to grow up.
The appearance of this young man really opened the eyes of Xue Laosan.
In addition, he was also really surprised by how the identities of these three people were liars and public servants for a while were changed.
He was startled when the events over there became more and more intense, and after listening to it for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.
It turned out that the three elders and young people were actually members of the comprehensive security brigade under the Baofeng District Comprehensive Management Office, to understand, they were the urban management in the eighties!
But in terms of authority, they are much greater than the chengguan, because they can not only manage illegal occupation of roads, but also be responsible for assisting in defense and maintaining the stability of a place, and at the same time, they can also be responsible for rectifying the industrial and commercial order.
These people also gave themselves a majestic nickname, called: Dog Fighting Team, as the name suggests, in their eyes, the masses are the dogs, not only can play, but also eat meat.
Right now, the three of them just want to eat the meat of the old couple who sell spicy baked cakes.
At the beginning, Xue Xiang thought that these three were borrowing the power in their hands to ask for some benefits, originally, this kind of flat stall must have various business licenses, which is impossible, so whether they can save zĂ i or not is in the hands of the elders and young people.
But generally speaking, local governments do not include this kind of low-cost private stalls in the scope of crackdown, but it is extremely normal for young people and others to realize their power and extort some management fees.
If this is the case, Xue Xiang will not feel anything, originally, this kind of low-level life order can never be a pool of clear water.
But what the elders and young people have to do is not to extort management fees, it is so simple to eat for nothing, these three people actually want to forcibly divide the profits of the old couple, and keep saying that they can help the old couple expand their business and protect the stall, but they have to collect fifty percent of the monthly profits.
And this flat stall is the ancestral craft of the old couple, the guy who eats, does not seek to earn much, in addition to making a living, it is good to subsidize the family, it is simply the lifeblood of maintaining the family's livelihood, who is willing to separate their own lifeblood by half.
At that moment, the old man kept begging for mercy, and begged that he was willing to double the management fee and honor the three people with a cigarette every month.
How do you know that the old man has been entangled for a long time, and the young man is on fire first, but when he saw him standing up, he stretched out his hand and lifted the table, and in an instant, the red soup, the green donkey meat, and the white baked cakes rolled to the ground.
"Shameless for your face, grass and mud horses!"
The fat man with the gold chain on one side came up and slapped the old man and knocked him to the ground, while the hungry old woman rushed to save the old man, and was tripped by his stretched foot.
It stands to reason that this kind of bullying the old with the strong and bullying the widows should arouse public anger and be besieged, but the young man stood on the spot, his eyes were full of ferocity, and no one dared to move.
The fat man with the gold chain scolded the person who came over: "Look at your paralysis, look, who the will look at it again, detain it, and send it to prison!" â
How do you know that his voice fell, and someone accosted: "It's the three of you again, this time you don't play cards, change it and rob it!" â
Xue Xiang finally couldn't help but come out.
It stands to reason that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention, his current situation in Dejiang is not optimistic, and he is still carrying a big burden, and he should not interfere in the things in front of him.
At the beginning, Xue Laosan did think so, expecting others to come forward and reveal the things in front of him, but he had never heard that the Shu people were brave, and there must be heroes.
But the current situation disappointed Xue Xiang, but, thinking about it, he was also relieved, no matter how brave the locals were, they were only external, and in their own land, they were still afraid of the locals who were more fierce than him.
The three elders and young people looked like they had been doing bad things for many years, and with a tiger skin by their side, ordinary people naturally didn't dare to provoke them.
In this way, he can no longer be a spectator, or quietly quit, because, no matter where the official goes, Xue Laosan always has a civilian feeling.
"!"
"Damn!"
"Day!"
The three elders and young men turned around, took a clear look at Xue Laosan's face, and each exclaimed.
