Chapter 378: The Daily Life of the People II
"Come, brother, have a drink, tell us about Zhangjiacheng, we have been away for a few months, and I don't know what is new in Zhangjiacheng."
After a glass of liquor distilled at 30 degrees, the driver felt comfortable all over his body, and his face was red, "Good wine!" ”
This liquor is also reluctant to be bought by the driver on weekdays, and the meal in the service area is free, but if you want better service, you have to add money.
Kong Lin took a small sip, "Good wine." ”
In the past, Kong Lin's stomach couldn't be solved, and drinking wine was even more extravagant, especially this kind of distilled liquor, don't ask the price if you don't have ten taels of silver in the county, this is all the landlord, and the officials are willing to drink.
"Hehe, I'll bring a few bottles back to the captain when I get back."
After the driver drank a glass of wine, the topic became more and more, and several people at the same table were also listening to him.
"Have you been to the Observation Building?"
Kong Lin: "No, do you want to take a high-rise building next to the government building, I saw that there are more than ten buildings before leaving." Why, has it been built now? ”
The driver sighed, "I didn't expect the building to be so high, let me tell you, now the viewing building has already been opened, with a total of thirty-five floors and a height of more than one hundred and twenty meters, oh, it is forty battles high, think about how high it is." ”
The unit of rice Kong Lin does not belong, but I heard that it is full of forty battles in height, and I can't imagine it for a while.
"Brother, it's really so tall!"
The driver took a sip of wine, "What did I lie to you, when it was open, I also went up to see it, my obedient, it took me half an hour to go up, of course my legs and feet are a little inconvenient." I want you to go up like this, and you also have a stick of incense time! ”
Kong Lin poured liquor for the driver, "Why, my brother has been up." Tell us about it. ”
The driver: "Hehe, there is nothing on the top floor, it's just windy, and looking down from above, you can be scared half to death." ”
"Oh, brother, can you do me a favor, let's go up and have a look and see the world."
Kong Lin didn't know that the viewing building was open to the public, and wanted to ask the driver to open the back door. The driver used to be a volunteer before, so there must be something to do with it.
The driver picked up a piece of steamed grouper, and laughed, "No need to help, anyone can go up to the viewing building, I heard that this is the chief's order, you can go up whenever you want, no money." ”
"Ahh
Hearing that you can go up for free, Kong Lin was a little dumbfounded, shouldn't you close the door and see it yourself, it's like an official who has built a mansion, which is privately owned, and will definitely not let ordinary people enter at will.
The driver: "I heard that this is used by the chief to suppress luck, and I don't understand the reason for it. ”
The so-called suppression of luck is just heard by outsiders, and the role of the viewing building is used to increase the pride of the people and deter people who have just come to Zhangjiacheng.
In an era like the Ming Dynasty, seeing a building hundreds of meters high, who is not full of awe of Zhangjiacheng in his heart.
The role of the observation building proves the strength of the volunteers from the side, a kind of strength to see.
Chatting with the driver, Kong Lin knew a little more about Zhangjiacheng, but he still needed to see it himself.
Driver: "When you come back, you must try the signature snacks made by the chief, I tell you, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen an adult who does things for us small people." ”
Kong Lin has 10,000 heads to say hello?? What does this have to do with the chief, and the others are equally curious, they go to Luzon, and they really don't know that there is such a thing.
The driver, "Little Er, come with six portions of rice rolls." ”
"Brother, what does this rice roll have to do with the chief!"
The driver took a puff of cigarette and spit it out, and said like a finger, "The rice roll was first passed down from the chief's house, it is easy to learn, and it tastes delicious, it is already a must-have breakfast for the people of Zhangjiacheng every day. If you haven't eaten rice rolls, you're embarrassed to say that you came out of Zhangjiacheng. ”
After a while, six portions of rice noodles came up, because the fish in Zhangjiacheng is cheap, there are more types added to the rice noodles, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend too much, adding eggs and meat foam.
There are a little silver coins in the pocket, and lobster, abalone, shark fin and other precious foods are added to it.
Kong Lin tried a bite, tender, smooth, plus the sweet shrimp meat inside.
"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be such a way to eat."
A noisy voice came over, attracting the attention of everyone in the service area, and many of them looked at the rich man with envy.
With Zhang Laosi's face, he often goes in and out of Zhangjiacheng, and with the image he has deliberately established, Zhangjiacheng knows Zhang Laosi more than Chen Zijian, the city lord.
After all, Chen Zijian has rarely appeared in public, except for the volunteers and government personnel, there are very few people who can see him.
Kong Lin was envious, "I heard that Zhang Laosi over there was the first to help the chief, and now he is a master with a lot of money." Hey, I don't know when I'll have such a scene! ”
"Haha, Deputy Kong, it's so difficult to think that person, people start to do things with the chief, and a few of us can't compare."
Everyone looked at Zhang Laosi, who was complimented by everyone all the way, and was envious.
"Hello Boss Zhang."
"Boss Zhang has time to come over for tea"
Zhang Laosi held up his small belly, nodded over, and greeted the people around him with a smile.
"Hahaha, isn't this Brother Li, I didn't expect to see you here, when will you come to my house for dinner."
Seeing the person sitting still at the table, Zhang Laosi arched his hand over, and his face was even more smiling, no matter who saw such a smiling face, he would not refuse.
Most of the people in the service area got up to compliment Zhang Laosi, Li Da sat and ate differently than ordinary people, and Zhang Laosi recognized who that person was. Li Gan, Chen Zijian used to be a personal guard, and of course he had seen him when he followed Chen Zijian.
The person who can follow Chen Zijian, the city lord, Zhang Laosi naturally wants to stammer.
Li Gan: "Hehe, Boss Zhang, I'm just a little coachman, I don't need this." ”
Hearing Li Gan's self-humility, Zhang Laosi didn't take it seriously, just kidding, don't look at Li Gan as a coachman now, but people used to have a relationship with the chief, and I don't know how many comrades-in-arms there were.
"Haha, Brother Li Gan laughed, it seems that I won't bother you if you still have something, next time you must enjoy your face and eat." A private room is waiting for you at the tea house. ”
Li Gan didn't say anything and nodded, thanking Zhang Laosi for his treat.
Waiting for Zhang Laosi to sit in the private room next to him with a group of people, Kong Lin and the rest of the crew looked at Li Gan with an unfathomable expression, but they didn't expect that the groom who helped him catch the car walked in such a deep relationship.
Kong Lin: "Brother, I didn't expect it to be hidden. ”
Li Gan: "Hey, what are you talking about, it's all in the past, and now I'm a half-crippled, and it's good to earn a bite to eat." ”
Although Li Gan said that he was just a coachman, it did not prevent everyone from complimenting him.
The matter didn't seem to be over, and everyone in the service area waited for Zhang Laosi to enter the private room, and gradually returned to normal, but within half of the incense time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the service area.
Dozens of volunteers with Minnie guns on their backs, regardless of the surprised eyes of many people in the service area, quickly glanced at the people in the service area, and found that there was no abnormal situation and quickly exited.
Li Gan's face was a little surprised when he saw the volunteers coming in, and then he was shocked. Others may not be able to see the difference between the volunteers, but he used to follow Chen Zijian and saw the difference at a glance.
Chen Zijian's personal guards, the personal guards of the volunteer army came into the service area to quickly investigate the situation, for the safety of the chief behind him, Li Gan had also done such a thing before.
Li Gan muttered to Kong Lin next to him in a low voice, "Let everyone wait and calm down." ”
Seeing that something was wrong, Kong Lin asked, "Brother, what's the matter, what are those people doing?" You used to be with the city lord, and you know more than the rest of us. ”
Li Gan shook his head, "Don't ask, it's hard to say if it didn't happen, and I don't know if it's coming." ”
Two of the words were said that only Li Gan himself could hear, Kong Lin was trying to ask, Li Gan was already looking at the location of the door, waiting for something.
As Li Gan was surprised, the others ate and drank normally, and it didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to be louder than before, and Li Gan could hear at least two hundred horses without looking outside.
There was no need for Li Gan to remind them now, everyone looked at the group outside, and then the volunteers came over with this one person.
Li Gan didn't expect to meet the chief here, and the chief hadn't appeared for at least four months.
Seeing so many volunteers coming in, ordinary people didn't dare to approach at all, and sat at their tables and watched.
Li Gan walked a little unnaturally, and limped forward step by step.
didn't wait for the guards to step forward to stop them, after all, not all the guards knew each other.
Compared with other people sitting still, Li Gan's move to come forward was undoubtedly very dazzling.
Chen Zijian waved his hand, "Li Gan." Why are you kid here. ”
Li Gan stood up straight and saluted, "Good chief, subordinates are now coming out to do things by themselves." ”
Kong Lin and the five crew members looked at the things over there, and just saw Li Gan come forward, they kept worrying that he would collide with the big man, and if he made the big man angry, he might affect everyone.
I didn't expect this to be the result, that person was actually the head of Zhangjiacheng, and I hadn't seen it before. Today is a long day of insight.
Chen Zijian frowned, "Don't you have a good arrangement, how can someone detain you." ”
With Chen Zijian's super memory, as long as the people around him can have a meeting, Li Gan has been following him for more than three months before, and it is strange to forget.
Li Gan heard the chief's sign of anger, and waved his hand again and again, "No, no, the logistics department arranged a good job for me, and my subordinates can only stay in one place if they dislike it, and it is better to come out and do things by themselves than to stay in one place." ”
"Well, that's fine, let's come in together, it's all brothers who don't need to be rusty."
Li Gan: "This, this is not very good!" ”
"Bastard, what's wrong, it's rare to meet someone who is polite to me, and you don't know my temper after following me for so long."
There is a special private room in the service area, and when Chen Zijian entered the private room, the people outside instantly talked about it.
Kong Lin looked at the unexpected scene, but he didn't expect that the groom who drove them before could now sit with the chief, which was really a bit surprising.
Chen Zijian sat down for a while, Li Gan sat next to Chen Zijian, although it was a little unruly, but Chen Zijian said so, and the other guards naturally didn't say anything.
The steward came in with two young girls,
"Hello chief, I am the manager of Zhangdian No. 3 service area, what does the chief command!"
Chen Zijian: "Prepare a meal for my brother, I'll take a break here." ”
"Do you need to let the people go?" Otherwise, they will interfere with the chief's rest. ”
"No, it's not good to disturb the people with such a little noise."
The steward "Yes, chief, the subordinates will go down to arrange, yes, Zhang Laosi is waiting outside, asking to come in and say hello to the chief." ”
"Zhang Laosi, why is he here, call him in."
When the steward went out, Zhang Laosi stuffed two silver coins into him again, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, does the chief see me?" ”
The steward nodded, "The chief agreed, you can go in!" ”
The volunteers opened the door, saw Zhang Laosi coming to open the door for him, and then saw Chen Zijian, who had not been seen for many days.
Zhang Laosi was in the private room just now, and I heard that Chen Zijian ran out here and stuffed a few silver coins into the steward.
