Chapter 44: Hong Kong Students
"Brother Ze, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, why hasn't Bai Xiong appeared yet?"
He Dingbang disguised himself as a customer, and asked in a low voice while coming up and pretending to taste the fish balls.
Lu Ze glanced at the time, forced the doubts in his heart and said, "Wait, it may be that the time has been delayed." ”
Hearing this, He Dingbang glanced at Wang Gangsheng on the side, ate fish balls, and asked vaguely: "Brother Ze, who is this chick?" ”
"I don't know, you leave quickly after eating, you are tall and big, customers are all looking at you as soon as they enter the door, do you want to be the door god for me?"
Driven by Lu Ze, He Dingbang ran away with two bowls of fish balls.
Wang Gangsheng didn't realize that there was him, and asked, "Your friend?" ”
"yes, he's here to buy something."
Lu Ze replied casually, and then said: "I don't lack recognition here for the time being, if you are hungry, I can send you a few more bowls of fish balls, and you don't need to help." ”
Wang Gangsheng was a little disappointed.
She also saw that Lu Ze only had a small stall, and his things didn't sell well, so he couldn't make money, so how could he be willing to hire her to work.
It's just that she really has nowhere to go, and she didn't leave after eating and drinking, so she helped greet the guests by Lu Ze's side, even if she didn't get a salary, when Lu Ze came home, how could she give her two more bowls of fish balls, so that she wouldn't eat and drink for nothing.
Lu Ze didn't know anything about Wang Gangsheng's little abacus, and he was happy to see her help greet guests.
Soon, the time came to six o'clock in the afternoon.
Bai Xiong and Ali, who were supposed to appear, still haven't appeared, and I don't know if it's because of the wrong information, or if today's deal was canceled.
Lu Ze did not move until the mall closed at eight o'clock, and then he pushed the dining cart outside.
"Thank you today, the fish balls you made are so delicious."
Lu Ze pushed the cart and walked in front, and Wang Gangsheng followed behind him.
After saying this, looking at Lu Ze's remaining half pot of fish balls, Wang Gangsheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Lu, are you going home?" ”
"yes, what do you want to do?"
Lu Ze came down for a long time and already knew something about Wang Gangsheng's character.
Wang Gangsheng is bold and careful, has a smart energy, and is very eye-catching.
"I want to discuss something with you, I see that there are a lot of quick-frozen fish balls in your box."
"If you go home, can you lend me the food truck and fish balls first, I can use the evening time to help you sell fish balls in the night market, how about the money we earn tomorrow, I will be three and seven, and it will not take up your time, what do you think."
Wang Gangsheng had shrewdness in his eyes, and counted with his fingers: "I have calculated, those fish balls in the box can still be cooked in more than 30 bowls, each bowl sells for 7 yuan, and 30 bowls are 210 yuan." ”
"There is a night market on Lichun Street in front, but there is no fish ball for sale, so if I set up a stall over there, it should be very good."
Speaking of this, Wang Gangsheng bit his lip and took off a string of pendants from his neck: "This is a relic left to me by my mother, it is very important to me, I will press it to you, you don't have to worry that I will push your food cart and run away." ”
"Are you serious?"
Lu Ze glanced at the pendant in Wang Gangsheng's hand.
The pendant is very simple, with a piece of jade strung on the red string, which looks a little old.
Judging from Wang Gangsheng holding the jade pendant and constantly stroking it, this pendant is very important to her, even if it is not a relic of her mother, it must be a family heirloom or something.
Of course, this heirloom is not to say that the pendant is valuable.
It is a inheritance that has been passed down from generation to generation and handed over to the girl as a dowry, which has great commemorative significance.
"I'm serious, I need money."
Wang Gangsheng hesitated again and again, and put the pendant on the dining car: "If you agree, I will wait for you at the entrance of the market with the dining car tomorrow morning, and if it goes well, I will sell all the fish balls, you just need to wait to collect the money." ”
Lu Ze was sure again and again that he found that Wang Gangsheng was really not joking with him.
I thought about it and didn't refuse.
"Brother Ze, what's going on in the afternoon, why didn't they come?"
After a while, He Dingbang and the others came to meet Lu Ze.
"I don't know, maybe the information is wrong, I'll contact Superintendent Dai."
Lu Ze said as he came to the phone booth on the side of the road and made a call: "Superintendent Dai, we waited for a day today, and Bai Xiong didn't come to Huachang Shopping Mall at all." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, but in the afternoon the informant came with the news that today's trade was cancelled and that it would be traded again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I was in a meeting at the time, and I forgot to tell you when I went back."
Superintendent Dai smiled apologetically, and then said, "Tell the brothers, these days are hard, whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, as long as they show up to trade, they will be wiped out." ”
"Yes, sir."
What else can Lu Ze say.
The chief said sorry, could he still hold on to it.
Unless he doesn't want to get mixed up, it can only be them who are wrong, and the chief will not be wrong.
"Did you hear that?"
Hanging up the phone, Lu Ze glanced at everyone.
He Dingbang replied with a look of lovelessness: "I heard it, summarize it in one sentence, and continue to work hard tomorrow." ”
Lu Minghua also spoke: "Brother Ze, as long as the information is good, there is no difference between one day earlier and one day later, and we will be able to catch Bai Xiong sooner or later." ”
"Tomorrow to continue."
Lu Ze made the final decision.
"Brother Ze, what about your fish balls, Lao He said that the fish balls you cooked are delicious."
Song Zijie looked back and forth, but he didn't see where Lu Ze's dining car was.
"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat every day, go home from work and eat."
Lu Ze clapped his hands: "Close." ”
Nothing was said all night.
In the blink of an eye, the next day is coming.
Early in the morning, Lu Ze came to the gate of Huachang Market as agreed.
The market hasn't opened yet, and there aren't many pedestrians coming and going.
Far away, Lu Ze saw a man in yellow clothes at the entrance of the market, looking left and right in the crowd.
"Hong Kong students!"
Seeing the girl in yellow, Lu Ze waved his hand.
"Brother Lu."
Wang Gangsheng trotted over, his face was slightly red, and he said beautifully: "The fish balls you left me were sold last night, a total of 245 yuan, and the people who collected the booth fee came to me to ask for money, I cried at them, and exempted me from the booth fee of ten yuan." ”
Lu Ze: "..."
Those who collect booth fees at the night market are not popular with the tax office.
They are all local gang members, and they charge according to the size of the stalls, and a night market street can collect thousands of yuan a night.
If you pay this money, they will settle it if someone makes trouble.
Wang Gangsheng is worthy of being a big beauty, and wherever she goes, she has the treatment of a beauty, and the little gangsters who collect booth fees can't stand it.
"245 yes, I'll take 145, and the rest is yours."
Lu Ze took out a hundred, drew a few more change, and handed over the rest to Wang Gangsheng.
Wang Gangsheng was overjoyed, this was the first money she earned in three days on Hong Kong Island.
Although there is not much, she finally sees hope that she can rely on her own efforts to survive on Hong Kong Island.
