Chapter 373: Accident
On the morning of August 4th, Du Yu took everyone on the tourist bus, this is Zuihou's one-day journey, everyone is in the city of Manila, what they see are local man-made buildings, and they don't know much about other scenery in the Philippines, so Du Yu discussed with Xu Fan, Zuihou decided to take a car to a province south of Manila to travel, this province is Zela Province, which is a place where ethnic groups live in the Philippines, and there are all kinds of customs and habits, which is enough for everyone to take a good look.
After playing all morning, when it was time to eat at noon, Du Yu let the tour bus drive to a restaurant, which is located in a prime location in the capital of Zela Province, next to many gold and silver jewelry stores, and some bank branches, which can occupy a piece of land in this place, from this point of view, this restaurant cannot be underestimated.
Du Yu let everyone get out of the car, and then pointed to the restaurant and said, "This restaurant is very famous, even the President of the Philippines, Mrs. Arogai, has visited here, the Filipino snacks here are very haode, you can taste it." ”
Hearing that the President of the Philippines also came here to eat, everyone became interested and flocked to this ordinary-looking restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant saw that so many people had entered his shop, so he walked out happily and hugged Du Yu with a smile, "Du Yu, I haven't been here for more than a month, how is it now?" ”
Du Yu hugged the restaurant owner and said jokingly, "Lao He, you haven't given discounts, and the boss won't let you come, hehe." ”
Lao He smiled and punched Du Yu, "Don't ruin my reputation," and then pointed to these people who came in and said, "These are the tourists you brought this time?" ”
Du Yu nodded, then walked to the table where Xu Fan and Xu Fei were sitting with his arm around Lao He's shoulders, and said to Xu Fan, "Mr. Xu, this is Lao He, a native of Dongguang Province, and has been in the Philippines for more than ten years. I've been studying Filipino cuisine for a long time, and today let him give you some good dishes. Lao He, this is Mr. Xu of Xu's Group, and the people in this tour group are all from Xu's Group."
Xu Fan and Lao He nodded, got to know each other, it was also a pleasure to meet a Chinese person in a foreign country, and when it came to domestic affairs, I was embarrassed, I hated many of the country's policies when I was in China, and I felt constrained. But after I went abroad, I found that there is nothing unusual abroad, there are many places that are not very satisfied, and I feel that it is better at home.
Lao He pointed to the street outside and said, "Mr. Xu, this country is good, there are not so many constraints, but it is still discriminated against by the locals, and my shop still does not have to pay protection money because of Mrs. Arrogai, in the past." You have to pay protection money every month, which is even more punctual than taxes. ”
"It's good to have someone to protect, but the province is harassed." Xu Fan said noncommittally.
"Well, if something happens. It's also done by those who collect protection money, it's really taking money and robbing things, and we're all alone. There's no way to resist. Especially we Chinese, we were bullied by the locals, and a few days ago, a shop opened by a Chinese was robbed by a few local thugs. Hundreds of thousands of pesos of goods were lost. Speaking of this, Lao He angrily hammered the table, and was really angry for the compatriots who had suffered losses.
"Oh, the local police don't care?" Xu Fan said curiously.
Lao He sneered twice, "They are in charge, but the content of the management is different, the Chinese called the police, but the police said that he reported a false case, if we didn't see the situation right and quickly find someone to give a big gift, he might still be in prison." These are a nest of snakes and rats, and it has become their habit to bully us. ”
Xu Fan heard this, his eyes narrowed, he had also heard in his previous life that the Chinese were oppressed abroad more seriously, the Chinese people have always adhered to the spirit of Confucianism in foreign countries, do not take the initiative to cause trouble, and strive to create wealth, as a result, once there is turmoil in foreign countries, the Chinese with wealth will become a punching bag, and the social contradictions will be purposefully vented to the Chinese.
Xu Fan patted Lao He on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the country is paying more and more attention to the liliang of the Chinese, and as the country becomes stronger, your status will also improve." ”
"I hope so, okay, let's not talk about it, I'll get you a few good dishes, and promise to make you want to eat them." Lao He sighed, he really couldn't believe it, in front of the interests of the country, the interests of some Chinese are nothing at all, and it is nothing if they are deliberately ignored, they have experienced it a few times, and they still don't want to be so difficult.
"That's it, that's it, these things are all things that the government is in charge of, let's not talk about these things, let's try Lao He's craftsmanship." Du Yu said with a haha, he knew that these things were not something he could talk about, and if he was hit senselessly, it would be too wrong. He has always not talked about politics, national affairs, family affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned, this sentence is not suitable for him, his goal is to take care of his own small family, and those grand political topics are not something that he can participate in.
Lao He stood up and walked to the kitchen of the restaurant, and after a while, he and a few waiters brought out all the things they ate, and everyone tasted the Philippine food well, and after eating, they all praised Lao He's craftsmanship and lived up to its reputation.
"Lao He, you are good at this skill, when you earn enough money, return to China to enjoy your happiness, the country is also developing very well now, with your good cooking skills, it will definitely develop very haode." Du Yu picked up a piece of pastry on the table, took a bite, gave Lao He a thumbs up, and said with a smile.
"Well, let's take a look again, and we'll talk about it when we have saved enough money." Lao He took a sip of beer and said slowly, his eyes looked in the direction of Huaxia Kingdom, he hadn't returned to China for more than ten years, and he didn't know how the lychee tree he had planted at home was growing now!
Xu Fan looked at the yearning in Lao He's eyes, and knew that he still wanted to return to China to see, as a traditional Chinese person, it is normal to return to the roots and return to his hometown, Xu Fan also understood very well, so he said, "Lao He, when you return to China in the future, you are welcome to come to our company as a guest." I also hope that I can eat the food you make in China, and it is really good. Xu Fan gave a thumbs up and said.
"Hehe, I will definitely disturb Mr. Xu when the time comes." Lao He said with a smile.
Everyone finished eating, after paying the bill, everyone got on the tourist bus, the tourist bus started slowly, suddenly from the side of the fierce gunshots, the car driver saw that the situation was not good, immediately about to speed out of here, but there are some vehicles on the road in front, acceleration can not be added, some owners see this, simply put the car on the road, get off the car and run away.
The driver kept honking, but at this time, who cares so much, everyone is rushing to get out of here, Xu Fan leaned in front of the car window, looked outside, and saw that the windows of several jewelry stores on the side of the road were shattered, and the glass flew to the side of the road, and the people in the travel agency were very frightened, panicked and discussed, urging the driver to drive quickly, while Du Yu, Zhou Hui and Gu Yangyang endured their fear and persuaded everyone to stay calm.
Xu Jianliu came to Xu Fan's side and said, "Boss, it seems that they have encountered a robbery, the firepower of these bandits is very fierce, it is really much stronger than the domestic gangs, the Zhongyi Gang has a few pistols to hide and tuck, look at people, dare to rob so many jewelry stores in broad daylight, it is really amazing." ”
Xu Fan nodded and said, "It's really powerful enough, you let the brothers prepare and protect the safety of our people." ”
"Yes, boss" Xu Jianliu nodded, returned to his seat, and continued to observe the situation.
Wang Wenqiang nervously held Wang Xiaomei's hand and said comfortingly, "Wife, it's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous, it's not good to move the fetus." Wang Xiaomei nodded, stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, and comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone will be safe." ”
Shao Guang hugged his newlywed wife tightly, looking out the window nervously, Shao Yong was a little older, not so afraid, and also helped Du Yu comfort others.
Cao Yunhai pretended to be calm and clenched his fists, raised them, and said to Bai Pannan, "Daughter-in-law, we can also encounter such a thrilling thing, don't worry, with my husband here, it's okay." Bai Pannan's legs were a little shaky, and he couldn't speak nervously.
Han Xue hugged Xu Fei nervously and said scaredly, "Xiaofei, I'm so scared!" Xu Fei patted Han Xue on the back and said comfortingly, "It's okay, we are not their target, there shouldn't be anything, don't worry." Xu Fei hugged Han Xue and looked at Gu Yangyang who was constantly persuading everyone to calm down in the car, Gu Yangyang's forehead was sweating, Gu Yangyang was too busy, and he didn't have time to communicate with Xu Fei, and kept comforting the nervous people.
Liu Feixu hugged Xu Fan's arm and said worriedly, "Husband, it should be fine, right?" ”
Xu Fan patted her hand, nodded and said, "It's okay, don't worry, with Jian San here, it will be fine." Liu Feixu hugged Xu Fan nervously, using more and more strength, it seemed that she was also very nervous, Xu Fan had to reach out and hug her, and Liu Feixu gradually became less forceful.
The road is getting more and more blocked, the tourist bus can only move forward at the speed of a snail, Xu Fan suddenly found that more than a dozen masked people with heavy weapons came out of a jewelry store, some were holding AK47s, some were holding shotguns, as soon as these people left the jewelry store, one of them took out two grenades from his backpack, opened them and threw them into the jewelry store, and after a while, there was a huge explosion in the jewelry store.
