Chapter 4 Peace Hotel 2
Sharif's words were heard by an old black man on the side, and he scolded angrily: "You greedy xx, xx who cut corners, God can't save your xxx, you still want people to respect you?" Alvin is dazed to trust you xxx xxx. The old black man spoke very fast, and he seemed to be used to the rules here, and wherever he wanted to use swear words, he would replace them with black slang that no one could understand. But you can scold so smoothly in this way, you have to admire, the rapping talent of black people.
Fudge excitedly ran over to high-five the old black man, and said with a smile: "Old Kent, well done!" ”
Sharif was angry, glared at the two of them, and waved his fist, but he never dared to take action, Alvin did not allow anyone to do anything here, there used to be unbelieving guys here, but the end was not very good.
At this time, the wooden door of the dining room was pushed open, and a young woman dressed in beautiful Eastern Europe pushed the door and walked in. Glancing at the restaurant, he walked straight to the bar, tilted his chin at Sharif, and motioned for him to get out of the way.
Sharif, who was getting angry, unexpectedly smiled wryly and said, "Hi, Daria." He said hello, took his water glass, found a seat that the guest had just left, and sat down.
The glamorous young woman sat elegantly on the round stool at the bar and nodded hello to a few people around her. He took out a cigarette and lit it, holding his cheek in one hand and holding the cigarette in the other, looking at Alvin who was busy in the depths of the bar.
Jessica placed a glass of lemonade in front of the beautiful young woman and said stiffly, "Miss Daria, smoking is not allowed here. ”
The young woman, Daria, looked at Jessica and smiled, "Oh, good luck girl. Can I finish this cigarette? I don't think there are a few gentlemen around here who won't mind. After speaking, her sparkling eyes swept to the left and right of the bar. Several men nearby, except for Matt, all nodded involuntarily.
Jessica glared at several uncompetitive men, ignored their protests, and gave the first steak to the blind Matt, and thoughtfully handed the knife and fork to Matt's hand.
Ten stoves were fired at the same time, and the steak was quickly all cooked and delivered to the guests. Alvin wiped his hands with a towel and walked over to the bar to pour himself a beer.
"Alvin, you'll have to take care of Thor and Dom, I just saw them keep a big beauty out of the restaurant. No wonder you always have only a few stinky men here. Seeing that Alvin was done, Daria covered her mouth and said with a smile. Completely ignoring the eyes of a group of "stinky men".
Alvin ignored Daria's words, but shouted at Nick, who was arguing with Old Stan, Batman or Captain America, "Nick Custer, it's 8:30, I'll check your homework at 10 o'clock, and if you haven't finished it yet, you still have an hour and a half." Boy, you don't want to know how I punish a lazy kid. ”
Nick put his head in his hands in frustration, screamed in pain, pushed his wheelchair into the bar, reached a small door next to the stove, opened the door, stood up on one leg, and jumped to the second floor.
The diners in the restaurant laughed, and Fudge teased, "Nick, you have to hurry, I don't want to see you sweeping the road with a wheelchair, haha!" ”
Nick listened, grabbed the handrail and grimaced at Fudge, and quickly jumped up to the second floor.
When the door closed automatically, Daria extinguished the cigarette in her hand, took out ten bundles of 20 dollar bills from her small handbag and pushed them to Alvin. Look into Alvin's eyes, with pleading, longing, and a little bit of unconfidence.
Alvin looked at the twenty thousand dollars in front of him, shook his head, took half of it, pushed the other half back in front of Daria, and said, "I know you have a few new girls smuggled from Eastern Europe. Send the minor to school, and then pay me $100 a month. Let the girl who wants to be in the serious industry save some money and get out of here. ”
Daria shook her head and said, "It's not in order, if you only charge me $100, the other gangsters will find out, and we'll all be in trouble." Now the girls and I are doing well, and they are actually very good. Last week, two girls saved enough money to move to Los Angeles. As he spoke, he pushed the money to Alvin, "Please accept it, Alvin, you are a good person, I know you don't want the flesh and skin money of us women, but I beg you to accept it, I really can't accept being controlled by other gangsters." Daria had a pleading expression on her face, which made people feel extremely pitiful.
"Take it, Alvin, we all know you're a good guy and you'll keep them safe, but if you don't take her money, it's going to break Hell's Kitchen rules, and the gangsters in the neighborhood will go crazy. We know you're not afraid of them, but they're in danger. The old Kent on the side said.
Alvin himself is a happy person, and what old Kent said makes sense, hesitated slightly, greeted the white fat man Sharif, and said: "Come and take it, 15 days, 2 food trucks." If you're cutting corners, I'll let Thor talk to you. ”
Sharif, slumping his shoulders, protested in a low voice: "$20,000 is only enough for one food truck." Alvin, you're a fair guy, you can't let me suffer. ”
Alvin, pouring a new glass of beer, handed it to Sharif, "It's punishment for your greed, there's no next time, okay?" ”
Alvin's gentle expression made Sharif frightened, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I know, there will be no problems, I promise!" ”
"Old Kent, who is the hardest in the block? Ask if you want to run a food truck? Alvin ignored Sharif's assurances, believing that Sharif would not dare to play tricks. Instead, he turned to old Kent and asked.
Old Kent thought for a moment and said, "Lilith is alone with three children, it's very hard, she will need one." Archie's family of six will need it even if they don't have a job. ”
"Then inform them, go to Sharif's garage to see, if there are any special requirements, let Sharif change it directly." After saying that, he waved his hand away and drove away Sharif, who was desperately holding the money bag. He said to a big black man sitting at the table by the door, gobbling it up, "JJ, when you leave, send off Sharif, he's not safe alone." "JJ is a Marine Corps veteran who gets into trouble and escapes to Hell's Kitchen to become a security guard and driver at Alvin's restaurant.
"Okay, boss." JJ tilted his head back and swallowed the last bit of steak, drained a large glass of lemonade in one go, stood up and said to Alvin, beckoning Sharif to leave the restaurant.
As soon as I opened the door of the restaurant, I saw a girl who was even more beautiful than Daria, followed by two policemen, and walked into the restaurant.
Seeing that the two policemen were acquaintances, JJ didn't think much about it and took Sharif into the car and left.
