Chapter 35: My Days in Westport 6
This is good, we didn't even have lunch, the three of us were walking under the scorching sun, at this time, Ah Qing said, I said Brother Long, where are you going to take us to find a house? It's all tired, don't toss it, okay? Ah Dong also nodded again and again and said, yes, where can I find it on this hot day? Why don't we have a meal first, and then find a young lady to have fun with, can it be done? Rub, look at you two forced kings, one is lazy, the other is lustful, or you two go back first, I'll find it myself! I said. Ah Dong said, hey, don't mind, just kidding, no! Let's go, go find a house with Brother Long! Ah Qing had no choice but to accept his fate, follow the two of us, in fact, I was also hungry, I didn't walk a few steps, I saw a snack bar, I said, go, go in and eat, who doesn't know hungry! Ah Qing laughed at this time and said, I can't stand it, pretend to be forced! Hahaha!
After entering, the three of us found a place closest to the electric fan and sat down, the boss handed us the menu, I looked at it first, I wiped, this price is really outrageous, Aqing saw my eyes, patted me on the shoulder and said, calm, this is not Xigang, you will open a bar in the future, it is also this price! In the end, the three of us ordered three seafood fried noodles, one fries, and three bottles of Coke, which cost $39. Some people may think that the price is okay, but in fact, you don't see the seafood fried noodles, which are two shrimps and the rest are vegetables.
After eating, I probably inquired about the surrounding situation with the boss, and the boss told me that in fact, in this place in Xigang, as long as you do business with your heart, it is very profitable, that is, in the past two years, there are too many Chinese people coming, the rent is too high, this rent is indeed very oppressive, and then we followed his guidance, went to a small street nearby, looked for it, walked for three minutes, got there, there is really a vacant house, in fact, this house, are subleased by several hands, many Chinese here, It's just to earn rent, you rent him, he rents me, and I rent someone else, so the rent has increased several times at once, no way, who makes us want to do it.
After several twists and turns, we finally signed a 90-square-meter small façade, I through Aqing's connections, with the lowest price, the decoration of the bar and water and electricity, etc., are done, two months have passed, everything is ready, just waiting for the opening.
I'm a person, I've always been very selfish, I always feel that people are going to win the day, I don't believe in the so-called auspicious day to open and so on, these superstitious sayings, so, the opening day is I discussed with Adong, and later, the bar is operating normally, my bar is a clear bar, usually put some light music, when I am in a good mood, pick up the guitar and sing two songs, in the Westport group, basically there are three categories, one is the big and small bosses of all walks of life, the second is to earn more construction site workers, and the third is the casino and night club practitioners, Then I came here, it must be those bosses from all walks of life, basically they all drank the second meal, in order to have a quiet environment, chat, drink some wine, and came to me. Of course, this bar must be thanks to Ah Qing and his friends, basically every night there are people who come to cheer, I dare to say with certainty, without a good brother Ah Qing, my bar will not be open!
Ah Dong is also hard enough, every day for the more wine in the field, basically every day to accompany the guests, they are also drunk. To tell the truth, the money is earned, but the good times did not last long, we finally had an accident in Xigang, one night, it was just dark, there were no guests in the bar, I saw four people in black come in, after coming in, let me say my backer, with which big brother, if not, you have to pay the fee, wipe, this is reasonable! I mentioned Aqing's club to them, they seem to have something to do with business, damn it, I just finished speaking, and directly smashed the bar counter to me, and then Adong hurriedly contacted Aqing, Aqing rushed over with the people immediately, before Aqing came over, I and the four black-clothed people were no longer speculative, and they had already done it, and people came with a purpose, so I and Adong definitely did not have an advantage, we both had some slight injuries, but those four people, I was not used to it at all, and I used my strength to do it with them, Later, I finally survived to the arrival of Ah Qing and them, and all four of them were pressed there, these four people are all Chaoshan Gang, and they have been estranged from Ah Qing and their 41k since ancient times.
Ah Qing said, Brother Long, you looked at the disposal, and handed me a dagger casually, to be honest, I was really angry at the time, and I stuck a dagger down! I won't describe it too much here, Ah Qing and they are all dumbfounded, rub! It's too ruthless, Ah Qing said. No matter who is right or wrong, anyway, the matter has already happened, and it has reached the point of no return, Ah Qing and I and Ah Dong hurriedly summed up, and made a decision immediately, let us run away, everything here is gone, let Ah Qing be responsible for the rest, at least he has the support of the community behind him, and no one will want his life.
This bar has been in business for less than half a year, and then it was closed, and Ah Dong and I got on a boat smuggled to Thailand through the snakehead that Ah Qing found, and in the country of Cambodia, we have worked hard for nearly two years, once beautiful, crazy, and made a lot of dollars, but in the end, because of an accident, all of them were thrown here!
I sat on the bow of the boat, looking around at the beautiful Mekong River, reminiscing about my days in Southeast Asia. Ah Dong was also quietly smoking a cigarette alone, looking into the distance, recalling some things......
