Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Unpretentious Boss
Then ask the boss to cook two dishes, get some drink, and the boss promised to go to work.
Beiming only had time to look at this small shop, it was really a small shop, there were two stoves at the door, one was steamed on the ball, the other was used for stir-frying, behind the stove was the operating table, what cutting vegetables was done here, the walls of the store were smoked black, there were only four or five tables, and the owner was the only one busy in the whole store.
In his previous life, Beiming liked to find this kind of small shop, and he felt that there were a lot of people, that is, when he entered, he couldn't touch anywhere else except the chair, except for the chair, there was a lot of oil in that kind of shop..... That means it's delicious.
Of course, there is no one in this store where Beiming is now, except for Beiming, and I don't know if I can't get a meal or what's going on. Beiming doesn't mean whether the Tao is good or bad, as long as he can eat enough now, the most important thing is to inquire about the news.
Beiming took a sip of porridge, looked at the boss and said, "Big brother, where is this piece, I came out of Yong'an to travel by car, I lost the map, and I had no choice but to come to the village to ask." ”
Yong'an is the capital of Cangwu, and Bei Ming concluded that the Red Revolutionary Army was not bold enough to dare to build a base in any country's capital, so he told the boss that he was from Yong'an.
The boss was cutting vegetables on the board with his head down, and when he heard Beiming's words, he laughed: "This is Bajik Town, located in the northwest corner of the Cangwu Empire. Saying that, he looked up at Beiming, smiled and said: "Sir, I see that you are from abroad, because the people of Yongan do not speak with this accent, it's okay sir, more than 200 kilometers further is the national border, this place is bordered by Guque in the west, Snow City in the north, and Bailan in the northwest, so there are often outsiders coming, which is nothing for us." ”
Bei Ming was not embarrassed at all when the lie was revealed, and said with a smile: "This place is okay, it's convenient to go wherever you want." ”
"yes, so we have people everywhere on our side. At this time, the boss had already prepared the dishes and was about to prepare to fry them in the pot.
The dish made a sizzling sound when it was put into the hot oil, and the boss was stir-frying it vigorously. Bei Ming didn't have time to look at the heroism of the boss stir-frying, he had to prepare an escape route, there was no doubt that it was the most convenient and fastest way to go back to Gu Que directly.
But the difficulty is that I don't know if these people in the revolutionary army know Beiming's identity, Beiming has been there for more than a year, and no one has discussed Beiming's identity, but this doesn't mean that they don't know, in case he is blocked on the road, it will be bad.
All things considered, it is a good choice to go to Bailan and Syracuse.... After a short period of consideration, Beiming decided to go northwest first, according to rumors, Bailan did not have a border check at all, and it was easier to go to Bailan than to go to a public toilet.
"Come, I'm sorry, you've been waiting for a long time. The boss brought a plate of stir-fried vegetables and put it on the table, "You often do this, although it is just ordinary duck meat, but this method is unique to our local area." ”
"Okay. Beiming's index finger moved, and he didn't have the heart to think about the plan in detail, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate. Although he is full now, he still wants to eat, so he tasted it and happily gave the boss a thumbs up, and said in surprise: "Boss, your craftsmanship is okay, not bad." As he spoke, he began to eat again.
"Hahahaha. Although the boss has heard a lot of such scenes, he is very happy to see Beiming praise him so sincerely. "You eat first, and I'll make you a vegetarian one. The boss said with a smile.
"Okay, let me see if your vegetarian dishes are at the same level as meat dishes. Bei Ming said expectantly.
The boss excitedly went to the board to cut vegetables, Beiming wanted to praise and praise, and the relationship was pulled in, so it was time to get down to business, so he asked: "Big brother, I saw a few big men going from house to house when I was shopping just now, what are they doing." ”
The boss's hand that was chopping vegetables stopped, and he sighed and said, "These people are unemployed vagrants in Zhongcun Town, and they seem to have a gang, what is it called the White Flame Alliance." ”
Bei Ming nodded, it turned out that he was a ruffian hooligan who didn't enter the stream.
The boss said: "Before, the old grandson didn't pay the money, these hooligans didn't beat or scold, seven or eight big men were at the door of the store, they didn't enter the store, and at the same time scared the customers so much that they didn't dare to enter the store, so it lasted for a few days and the old grandson couldn't afford it, so he still paid the money." ”
Bei Ming laughed when he heard this, and said softly: "This method is really familiar." ”
The boss shook his head when he heard Beiming's laughter, and said helplessly: "It's really funny...."
Beiming realized that what he did was wrong, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I thought that there are people in my hometown who use the same means...."
"Well, that's okay, I'd laugh out loud if it hadn't happened to me. After that, he continued to chop vegetables.
"How much do you pay each time?" asked Bei Ming after a bite of food.
"It's not much, it's just two days' rent. The boss continued to cut vegetables with his head down. "It's not a lot of money for us, it's not that we can't get it, and we get used to it over time. ”
"Is there no one in charge of the area?"
"Yes, just report to the police department, but no one goes. ”
"Are you afraid of retribution?"
The boss finally stopped cutting vegetables, put down the kitchen knife and said: "Yes, they didn't beat people and didn't scold people, and they collected protection money privately for half a month, and they paid a fine to end it, but you don't know what they will do when they come out. ”
After the boss finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to chop vegetables, cut them twice, as if he remembered something, and said while chopping vegetables: "For us, there will be difficulties every day, and there are endless difficulties in life alone." Then he paused and continued, "Everyone is talking about fairness and justice, but in our lives, there should be no these four words, after all, just to hold the rice bowl will use all your strength, how can you still have the strength to talk about these things..."
After hearing this, Beiming also sighed, and thought in his heart, "Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it." How easy it is to say.... Alas, this is life, and I still won't stand on the moral high ground in the future, it's too cold!"
The boss quickly fried the vegetarian dish again, Beiming finished eating, and chatted a lot with the boss in the middle, such as the surrounding customs and customs, and finally asked where to sell maps, and after asking clearly, Beiming took out two gold coins and threw them on the table to prepare to leave.
The simple boss naturally wouldn't accept it, Bei Ming waved his hand and said: "Take it, big brother, life is not easy, you should treat several tables of people today, I like the dishes you cook, and I also like what you say, so I am worth the money!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
