Chapter 380: The helplessness of the mixed river dragon

"Okay, you wait, I won't make fish today, I asked Wen Yuan to buy some ingredients yesterday, and I'll show you a hand today, otherwise you still think that we can only make fish." Lao Jiang is also radiant at this time, he really regards us as friends now, after all, not everyone can take the risk to accompany him to do this kind of thing.

Actually, I know that Lao Jiang said not to worry, but I can see that his pace is a little unsteady, and this phenomenon actually appears in him, a person who has been running boats for decades, which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.

To be honest, my message made me very jealous, because this typhoon is known as the strongest typhoon in ten years, and it can be seen that the wind is not ordinarily strong, even if Lao Jiang's ship weighs dozens of tons, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

I saw this in my eyes, but I didn't point it out, after all, I didn't want everyone to panic, so I finally waited for Lao Jiang's good dish under half worry and half excitement.

I have to say that Lao Jiang's meal is really rich, he didn't make us fish this time, but made a pork belly chicken, until now we don't know how Lao Jiang's good skills came about.

In his early years, he followed his father-in-law to run a boat, and later after his father-in-law died, he thought about changing his career to do something else, and Lao Jiang had been running a boat with his father-in-law for more than ten years.

He knew the risks of running a boat, and at that time, Lao Jiang's son had just been born, so he really gave up running a boat and went to learn to cook, but this old Jiang was really born to be a chef.

He had just been apprenticed to someone in the hotel for three months, and the chef saw that he was talented, so he made an exception and let him be his own sous chef, which was the main dish of the hotel, but he could make some boiled vegetables, or fruit bowls and the following.

In short, I had the opportunity to help with cooking, instead of just watching from the sidelines, either washing vegetables or buying vegetables all day long, and then Lao Jiang went further and further in the chef's business, and he took over his master's position as a chef in just one year.

It's just that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, in the second year of Lao Jiang's work as a chef, and it was also the year when his son was born, his wife was a little restless at home just after confinement.

Before his wife, Lao Jiang's father-in-law was under the control of his strict father-in-law, and she didn't dare to squander gambling excessively, but as soon as Lao Jiang's father-in-law left, after she recovered from confinement, she couldn't bear the gambling addiction and went to gamble with Lao Jiang on her back.

Lao Jiang's wife is really a natural loser, she lost nearly one million in gambling that year, one million is in the nineties, Lao Jiang also planned that he would come back after learning cooking skills and use the money to open a small shop, and then the family could live a comfortable and ordinary life.

Who knew that he hadn't had time to plan his future, in the autumn of that year, he suddenly received a call from a stranger, saying that her wife owed them a lot of money for Lao Jiang to go back and pay back, otherwise he would cut off his wife's hands and feet.

However, as soon as Lao Jiang went back, he learned that his wife not only gambled but also borrowed usury, and that for a period of time after he left, her wife had been burdened with nearly one million debts even gambling and borrowing usury.

At that time, you could eat a meal of rice noodles for two yuan, and if you worked outside, five yuan a day could basically solve the problem of food and clothing, and Lao Jiang panicked when he heard more than one million.

Although he knew that his father-in-law had left him a little money, the money was not enough to pay off the debt, and in the end, under the double pressure of usury and gambling debts, Lao Jiang had to give up the cook, and had to enter the river again to become a boat runner.

From that time on, the originally honest and peaceful person began to change, and now he became a dragon on the river, and Lao Jiang's transformation can only be said to be God's arrangement.

When he went to negotiate terms with those loan sharks and gambling debtors, he was insulted by those people again and again, and was bullied by those people again and again, which made Lao Jiang realize that it is not enough to have money, and he also needs to have status to control everything.

But this can't be blamed on Lao Jiang Although Lao Jiang has been running on the river for more than ten years, he has no reputation at all, and half of the reason here is his father-in-law.

Although his father-in-law has been a boat runner all his life, he is an unknown person, and his father-in-law did the work of a gold digger before he broke the four olds, but his father-in-law is a little afraid of things by nature, so he is not very willing to contact with the Taoist.

Lao Jiang's father-in-law worked alone when he was young, and it wasn't until Lao Jiang's father-in-law got older that he began to take Lao Jiang with him, but there was only one mute and Lao Jiang following him.

And Lao Jiang was running the boat with his father-in-law in those years, and he was also used to his father-in-law's set, so he also learned the same, Lao Jiang can be said to be definitely a superb sullen man at that time, he has always adhered to the concept of making a fortune regardless of the world's affairs,

He did this for more than ten years, until his father-in-law died and his son was born, and then he realized that he couldn't go on like this, and that year a college student in their village graduated and came back.

As soon as the college student graduated, he was directly sent to the state agency, and his trip back to the village was to celebrate the return of his ancestors, which made Lao Jiang very touched, and at that time he thought that he had no education all his life and could only be a boat runner, and he couldn't let his son go on like this.

So he decided to change careers, and at the same time he was tired of the days of running on the boat, to be honest, his old Jiang was actually not honest, after Lao Jiang dealt with his father-in-law's funeral, he knew that the money left by his father-in-law was his.

He also knew that if the money was used, he could live a happy and ordinary life, and he didn't have to mix on the river all day long, so whether it was for his ordinary dreams, or for his son's future future, he decided to give up the boatman.

That's why Lao Jiang went out to be an apprentice, and then worked as a chef in a hotel, but unfortunately, it's a pity, everything is destined by God, and Lao Jiang will eventually come back and inherit the identity of his father-in-law's boat runner.

However, at that time, Lao Jiang was also forced to be desperate by those loan sharks and gambling debts, so he returned to his old business, but only then did he have the legendary deeds of the mixed river dragon dominating the two rivers and three rivers, and at the same time, the people on the road trembled when they heard the name of Jiang Shen, the mixed river dragon.

"Ouch, I can't see it, Lao Jiang, you're still a person with a story." We were eating the pork belly chicken that Lao Jiang made for us, and we were listening to his story, which Lao Jiang said for two hours.

We have been raised from the time he was picked up by his father-in-law, and then he followed his father-in-law to run the boat until his father-in-law died, and he chose to give up the boat runner, and we listened to everything with relish.

However, Lao Jiang may also have some feelings, he would sigh deeply from time to time while talking, and then light a cigarette one after another, during which no one bothered him.

Because I know that what I can do at this time is to be a quiet listener, to listen to the person who told me about the past, and only in this way can I have the most powerful support and respect for him.

So there is a good saying, what relationship can your friend have with you, it depends on whether he can quietly watch you pretend, and then applaud at the last moment, this kind of support is often only done by the best buddies and their own little dead friends, and ordinary friends just laugh it off.

So no one from me or Tianyou intervened, and as for Wen Yuan, he was also brought in because of the past told by Lao Jiang, and now the entire cab has fallen into a dull atmosphere.

But this point is not difficult God bless, this guy was a little embarrassed when he saw the atmosphere, he first laughed, and then looked at Lao Jiang with a gloating and exaggerated expression.

Lao Jiang shook his head and was speechless when he was made by Tianyou, but soon he got rid of the haze, poured a small glass of liquor for each of us, and said to us with a wine glass: "I, Jiang Shen, thank you brothers for taking the risk to help me with this, I Jiang Shen will not say too many hypocritical words, I will drink this glass of wine first." ”

Lao Jiang drank all the wine in his wine glass as he spoke, and then put the wine glass heavily on the table and continued: "How many confidants can you have in your life? I, Jiang Shen, can meet you is my blessing, if you have anything to help me Jiang Shen in the future, just say, even if it is to go to the soup and fire, I will not hesitate. ”

"Come on, you're still going to the soup, it's not that I said Lao Jiang, you're outdated, it's not popular these days." I looked at Lao Jiang's liquor and knew that his words were from the bottom of my heart, and whoever was good to him would be good to him.

Judging from his attitude towards his losers, Lao Jiang is a person worthy of deep friendship, in fact, I also understand that Lao Jiang is very speechless to his losers.

But Lao Jiang doesn't care about that anymore, I can see that all he has for his wife is family affection and pity, Lao Jiang is an abandoned orphan, Lao Jiang can have the status and wealth of the rivers and lakes now, all of which were given by his father-in-law.

In addition to repaying his kindness, the only thing left is his affection for the family, so I was very touched by Lao Jiang's words, but I still couldn't help but tease him.

"That's right, Lao Jiang, you're outdated, what's the relationship, right, I want to repay my buddy with a poor and sleepy old man, that's it, where do you use anything to go to the soup, haha.. Zimeng saw that I was ridiculing Lao Jiang and also teasing Lao Jiang on the side, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zimeng laughed, and suddenly the whole cab people burst into laughter, we ate this meal for more than two hours, and this meal ended in a group of us laughing.

I came to the edge of the boat alone and the river breeze blew, I looked at the distance that had been a little slanted westward and suddenly a little confused, this time I didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and I didn't know what dangers and changes there would be in this trip.

In the past, I would strongly suppress the uneasiness in my heart and prevent these bad thoughts from germinating, in addition to not letting myself think too much, for fear that these bad premonitions would really happen.

So I've always been very resistant to these ideas, but now that I'm looking too far to the west, I feel that I might be wrong to choose to unravel this dusty mystery.

"Hey, what do you want, hey, what do you think." Just as I leaned against the edge of the boat and watched the sun set in the west, Feng Long shoved me from my contemplation.

I was pushed by Feng Long, and immediately reacted, looked at him and pondered for a while, and then asked, "I didn't think about anything, what's wrong." ”

"You see, this typhoon is coming faster than we thought, and your information is not very accurate." Feng Long couldn't help but glance at me more when he saw that I was a little absent-minded, but when he saw that I didn't have anything, he didn't ask much, and handed me the phone and said.

"Really, it looks like we're going to have to plan for a long time." As soon as I looked at the information on Feng Long's mobile phone, I couldn't help but feel a wild jump in my heart, only to see that the information on the mobile phone was a piece of news, which should be said to be a jump of meteorological news.
