Chapter 27: Langzhong (2)
The next day, Li Qing and the three of them were still the same as yesterday, they put the ice stall open, Li Qing did miscellaneous, and the curtain rain was in the rain, but Li Qing found that near their stall, there were also two similar ice water stalls, although there was no popsicle, but chilled watermelon juice, iced sour plum soup, etc., the name, content and even taste were exactly the same as them, and what was even more annoying was that the two ice stalls also found two watery little girls, who shouted and laughed shallowly, but this was something that the curtain rain could not learn, and Li Qing was stunned, but he was helpless, Even today, when intellectual property rights are all the rage, what can he do?
Fortunately, the other party doesn't have a popsicle, it's not that they don't want to do it, but they can't do it, their ice is from the ice cellar, and it can't be reprocessed at all, although Li Qing has the advantage of popsicles, but the turnover has decreased significantly, and the monks have less porridge, and by the afternoon, Li Qing estimated that he only made three times of money, and they were all popsicles' profits, and his ice water didn't even sell out a pot.
"You go ahead and sell, I'll take a look!" Li Qing was indignant, dropped a sentence and walked towards the nearest stall.
"Huh! It turned out that Shopkeeper Li was here, please take a seat! Please take a seat! ”
When the black fat man who sold ice water saw Li Qing coming, his eyes were smiling, but it made people feel that there seemed to be an invisible knife erected on his head, as if Li Qing was the lost God of Wealth, crashing into his knife net, but let him chop it, he raised his head and shouted: "Like a flower!" Pour a bowl of sour plum soup for Li Dongzhu. ”
"Here we go! The woman who sold water smiled coquettishly, and soon put a bowl of iced sour plum soup in front of Li Qing, and there was a hint of cold air, "Li Gongzi use it slowly!" The hand passed in front of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, Li Qing only smelled a fragrant wind blowing on his face, but saw that her ten fingers were like jade, and her pointed nails were painted bright red, and her heart jumped.
As the saying goes, "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", in this way, Li Qing's belly fire can only be pressed in his chest, and he owes himself and says: "You're polite, a small stall, you can't call the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper Wu acted quickly, and he made a flag overnight, which is admirable." Li Qing saw that the 'Wu Ji' flag was rough in workmanship, and it was obviously made overnight, so he couldn't help but ridicule.
The black fat shopkeeper Wu didn't think so, and said with a faint smile: "Shopkeeper Li is wrong, we started selling ice water last year, but we didn't add juice, and the business is booming, and we are ready to go out of the stall in a few days, but the shopkeeper Li took the lead, and also made a lot of tricks, which makes people greedy, so Dong Shi followed suit, please ask Shopkeeper Li to bear with me, and besides, we didn't imitate Shopkeeper Li's signature popsicle, which is also the end of benevolence." ”
"Humph!" Li Qing heard his last sentence be shameless, so he sneered and said: "If the shopkeeper Wu is willing, although he can make popsicles, why give me favors, the money is earned by everyone, and I Li Qing is not a narrow person, but this time I will stop here, and in the future, I will ask the shopkeeper Wu to do it himself, the so-called 'eight immortals cross the sea, each shows his magical powers', my Li Qing's tricks, please don't learn again." ”
Although Shopkeeper Wu didn't understand which Eight Immortals Li Qing was talking about, he understood what he meant, so he also sneered and said: "This broad daylight, when do I want to learn your tricks, you can think of it, can't I think of it?" Besides, do you think the person who bought the ice is going for you? Hum! Let me tell you, my daughter, these streets are famous, with her, which customer doesn't want to come to buy, but it's much better than your two yellow-haired girls. ”
"That's good, count you ruthless!" Li Qing said hatefully: "Lao Tzu will do something that you can't learn." After speaking, Li Qing got up to leave.
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Wu's face changed greatly, staring straight behind Li Qing, the fear in his eyes was revealed, he jumped up like a spring, and shouted at his daughter: "Quick! Pack your things! ”
Before Li Qing could turn around, Xiaoyu's screams came, he turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be furious, only to see six or seven men surrounding his ice stall, smiling, and one of them also moved on Xiaoyu, Li Qing rushed up, pulled the curtain and Xiaoyu behind him, stared at them and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?" ”
The leader was a blue scar face, with slender eyes, revealing evil intentions, he looked Li Qing up and down, and suddenly said viciously: "A foreigner came to Fuqian Street to do business, but without my consent, do you want to die?" ”
"Underworld! It turns out that the Tang Dynasty existed. Li Qing had a few thoughts in his heart: "It's just that they saw that their business was very good yesterday, so they moved evil thoughts, these people just want money." Thinking of this, Li Qing sneered: "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"According to the rules I set, I will take forty percent of the money you sell every day, so I will let you go, otherwise-" His eyes squinted at the second daughter of the curtain, and Lang smiled: "Otherwise, you two Peugeot girls will become a supper for a few of our brothers tonight, if you don't taste it, how do you know if you are ripe?" After speaking, several people looked at each other, and they all laughed lewdly.
Li Qing couldn't bear it, if it was for money, he could not do it, but the other party openly insulted his two sisters, this kind of person, you are soft, he is even more arrogant, his fist accumulated a thousand catties of strength, and suddenly aimed at the extremely ugly, crooked face that was looking up and smiling lewdly.
only heard a miserable scream of 'Ao', and the blue scar face was beaten out by Pingping for more than a kilometer, Li Qingxun quickly pushed the second daughter into the alley and shouted: "You guys go and report to the official!" ”
Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but was pulled by the curtain: "Come with me!" We're only going to get into trouble. ”
Li Qing stopped the entrance of the alley, escorted the second daughter to run away, at this time his stall had been smashed to pieces, the red and green popsicles were boiling all over the ground, the teapot was trampled flat, and the urn containing the money was also snatched away, four or five people slowly surrounded him in a fan shape, the blue scar face was helped up, the face was swollen like a pig's head, and the eyes shot out of bitter hatred, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, Li Qing was behind the alley, but he didn't dare to run, only blocked the alley, for fear that the second girl would run slowly and be caught up by the gangsters.
"Up!" Several people shouted in a low voice, pounced on the left and right, Li Qing also learned taekwondo for two months in high school, and his skills were quite agile, he dodged the person who pounced first, a side kick kicked him in the stomach, and then took a step back, swept his left leg, and the other person also wailed and rolled with his head in his arms, but after all, there were many people on the other side, a fat man took advantage of his unpreparedness, flew from behind and pounced on his thigh, knocked him to the ground, and held him down, the rest of the people were overjoyed, screaming and pounced up, seeing that Li Qing was about to be poisoned, suddenly, a person rushed out from the foot of the wall, Twisting the blue scarface, he pulled out Leng Sensen's dagger and held it against his throat and shouted, "Tell them to let go!" Fast! He exerted his strength slightly, and a line of blood had already flowed down the neck of the green scarface, and the green scar face had already been terrified, and although it was difficult to open his mouth, he still shouted vaguely: "Everyone let go!" ”
Seeing that the eldest brother was restrained, several people let go of their hands very unwillingly, Li Qingyu jumped up, and with a backhand punch, he knocked down his splash skin and turned his back to the sky, and the man dragged the green scar face and Li Qing stood in a row, at this time Li Qing saw clearly that the person who saved him was the down-and-out guest he helped in the restaurant last night, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and his money was not spent in vain.
"Thank you for saving me!"
The man waved his hand to stop him, and shouted to Scarface's men, "You put down the money, but go first, if it's okay, I'll let him back." ”
Several people looked at each other, and saw that the eldest brother's neck was full of blood, so they had no choice but to put down Li Qing's money and scatter.
"I want to come to pay back my brother's money, and I just happened to encounter this incident, this kind of bullying is soft and afraid of hard, if you beat them hard, they will naturally not dare to come again." The big man shook off the blue scar face, kicked him on the ass again, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is the county lieutenant of Xindu County, if you dare to make trouble again, see if I don't break your neck!" The blue scar face glanced at Dahan and Li Qing timidly, turned around and ran away.
"Childe, are you alright?" Curtain and Xiaoyu suddenly ran from the alley, one on each side, pulling Li Qing's arm and looking left and right.
"It's okay, it's okay! Didn't you report to the police? ”
"It's reported! In front of him, he met two officials, but they refused to come. Xiaoyu preemptively said, thinking of the arrogance of those officials, her heart was furious.
"They won't care about this kind of trouble!" The man laughed and said, "If you want to take care of it, won't they be exhausted to death." ”
The curtain hurriedly let go of Li Qing, stepped forward and thanked him: "Thank you to Engong for saving my son-in-law, please ask Engongzun's surname." ”
"It was your son-in-law who was the first to show me kindness." The man sighed, walked up to Li Qing and bowed his hand and said, "Although I have a bad reputation, I also understand that I need to know Entu to report it, and under Yang Zhao, thank Gongzi for helping last night." ”
