Going to the tea restaurant for an hour or two every day, and then clocking out from work, is what He Shan must do every day, no matter whether it is windy or rainy.

Today was no exception, but when he got out of the car, he saw that the window glass of the barbecued kitchen outside the café was broken, and the police standing outside the gate, which made him very puzzled.

didn't ask the police, He Shan returned to the car and called Xiao Guo out for questioning.

"How did the glass of the kitchen window be broken, what happened, and the police need to be alarmed?"

"Last night, there was a fight outside the tea restaurant in the middle of the night, and the glass was accidentally broken in the chaos, and the police have already caught people to notify us of the compensation problem!"

"Is there anyone still doing such a twilight profession? I thought it was extinct. Knowing that it was the old boy who caused the accident, He Shan asked curiously.

"It's a lot, it's just not as ostentatious as it used to be. You remember the bespectacled blonde guy who often comes to our café to eat, and so does he! ”

"Then why don't you see him come to collect our protection money?"

"Just with his kind of little minion, how dare he charge the protection fee of our tea restaurant, and see whose territory it is, outside our tea restaurant is a fixed-point check-in site for the police!" Xiao Guo was quite disdainful of this guy's customer, and then whispered in He Shan's ear: "You have been taking over the tea restaurant for a while, and there are some things you may not know, Lao Li in the kitchen seems to have been in this business before!" ”

"Oh~! That's big news. He Shan was a little surprised.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's all caused by the general environment at the time, you must know that even many celebrities have such a black history before they made a fortune! For example, the famous Huo family, the superstar Liu Hua and others all have such backgrounds, but everyone tacitly forgets them. …… Especially the Huo family, 14K is the black force in his family's secrets. ”

After a few simple gossips with Xiao Guo, He Shancha did not enter, turned around and drove home first.

Thinking back from memory, he immediately found the old boy in Xiao Guo's mouth in his mind. This little brother does often order a cup of milk tea in the tea restaurant to study the Book of Horses, swearing and watching horse races in the afternoon. The virtue of having nothing to do is indeed somewhat similar to that of the old boy.

Lao Li and other three old employees also often talk about some terms that he doesn't understand, such as, stable, Beigu, Tuodi, big file, overnight nailing, nine out of thirteen returns, etc.

………………

Walking aimlessly on Watercress Street at night in Mong Kok in the 90s, Ho Shan looked at the colorful and arrogant gangsters on the roadside, and said to himself, "What do you have to do to be an old boy?"

Take the initiative to come to the door to say hello and you can't open that mouth, do you want to find a gangster on the street to fight, so as to get involved. No, it's not my style to be too proactive. ”

"Genuine limit level 4, new goods on the shelves, don't miss it when you pass by, handsome guy, buy one and go back to learn!"

The roadside vendor held a movie poster with three o'clock in his hand and shouted at Ho Shan.

"The authentic Thai Musang King durian that has just arrived on the shore is fragrant, and you can buy it quickly!"

"All kinds of exquisite imitation shirts, two pieces for 50 yuan, and one piece for more than 100 yuan."

"It's really good, you can do small business openly, I wanted to try it before, but unfortunately the city management is too hateful, I sold the mobile phone case on the flyover for two days on vacation and was confiscated, and I was distressed for several days." He Shan looked enviously at the vendors pushing mobile carts on the street, and the taste of the hard work of the past came back again.

All the way down to the street, He Shan found that almost the entire street was full of vendors, so the corners of his mouth hooked, and he knew what to do next.

A few days later, in the same area and at the same time, Ho Shan appeared with a small cart and joined the army of hawkers.

"Beef offal, selling offal, fresh offal just baked, buy it as soon as possible, don't wait for it!" Found a position where there was no one on the side, He Shan waited for the guests to come to the door with an expectant face, the car was built by 12 dwarves overnight, and the quality was absolutely excellent, so that it was convenient for the chengguan to run away when he came to trick or treat. The offal was bought at the slaughterhouse, and he had been stewing all day, and he had learned the art of cooking in the tea restaurant, and he was very confident in the food he made.

For this newcomer, the surrounding vendors all kept a wait-and-see look, and at this time they did their own business and did not interfere with each other.

"Let's have a portion of beef offal, more radish and beef shutters, not beef intestines."

"Right now!"

He Shan quickly used scissors to cut the offal that the customer wanted into pieces of average size, and then inserted bamboo skewers, "20 pieces, boss." ”

Satisfied, he stuffed the money into the money jar, He Shan was in a very happy mood, and the feeling of making money by himself was different, and his heart was full of steadfastness.

"Brother, the business is good, just opening with such results, it's enough to wait for the next protection fee." The middle-aged uncle who bought fruit next door looked at He Shan's money jar with envy.

"So-so, just back to the basics, big brother, you said that I will probably teach how much protection money I will have to teach in the future, so that I can continue to stay in the stall in the future?"

"You may have just come a little expensive, I paid about 2,000 yuan, the clothes seller paid 2,500, the fish ball seller paid 1,800, and the amount to be paid each month is not the same, anyway, I can't say, it depends on who will collect it, you wait and see what you do."

Uncle Fruit is really not sure, the protection fee of this street has never given an accurate number, it all depends on the mood of the protection fee of the day, if it weren't for the fact that they can cover this street and can live in peace, he would have gone to another place to start work.

Watercress Street was bustling with people, and when there were no passers-by on the street in the middle of the night, the vendors began to pack up and prepare to go home to rest, and the four colorful boys with dyed hair came to Ho Shan's offal stall shoulder to shoulder.

The leader of the old boy directly picked up He Shan's money jar and weighed it: "Boss, business is good tonight."

I'll tell you about the rules here, first of all, you have set up a stall here without our consent, which is not in accordance with the rules, so you have to pay 2,000 yuan first, as you are qualified to buy and sell on this street after you buy it. Then pay us another 880 every month as a protection fee.

After paying the protection fee, we guarantee that your business will be prosperous, otherwise I will not be responsible for what happens to your stall in the future! ”

After listening to the introduction of the old boy, He Shan nodded The price is reasonable, and he earned 5 or 600 yuan just after opening tonight, which is within the affordable range. Don't talk nonsense, just calculate the protection fee and hand it over to them.

Seeing that He Shanting knew each other, he didn't have to bother talking more, and after counting the money, Gu Chao Boy continued: "You can be a man, my name is Puppy, and if you have something to do in the future, you will go to the door of the street bar to find me." …… The boss first came 4 portions of offal. ”

"Just eat, I'm going back anyway." He Shan directly handed them the scissors and asked them to cut them as much as they wanted, anyway, there was only the cow intestines left that no one wanted, and they were in a hurry to come out to set up a stall today, so they didn't wash it, and the smell of inside was too strong, resulting in not many customers eating. Now that someone is willing to solve this food waste, I am happy that there is no hurry.

I thought that Gu Chaozi was an arrogant and unsympathetic stinky hooligan, He Shan planned well, as long as they dared to say a dirty word to themselves, they would press his head on the ground and rub it, but unfortunately they didn't give themselves a chance at all.

"Beef offal, freshly baked offal, hurry up if you want to buy it, offal...... Thanks, 10 pieces. ”

He Shan likes to make money as a hawker on watercress street, when there is no business, he can take advantage of the gap to play chess with the fruit uncle in the stall next door, and go to other stalls to eat some other snacks when he is hungry. Over time, he almost forgot the purpose of coming here, and was completely immersed in this life.

"Don't run, hack them to death......"

As soon as He Shan finished a business, there was a sound of shouting and killing across the road.

"What are the two gangs doing, grabbing land?" I don't know how the conflict between the old boys was triggered, He Shan asked Uncle Fruit curiously.

When Uncle Fruit heard such a childish question, he was accustomed to it, and he didn't look back and said: "How can there be a reason for a fight between the old boys, and you can fight if you accidentally touch your shoulder or just look unpleasant when you walk on the street." Don't look at it, it's just a small collision. ”

"It's all knives, it shouldn't be a small collision. You see, puppies are also involved. He Shan pointed to the puppy fighting opposite.

"That's probably a big deal, wait for you to be careful, if they call, you can run away with me, and leave the car alone, these bastards are no kinder than the police sweeping the field, so as not to hurt the innocent." After the fruit uncle next door found out that the puppy was among them, he immediately put down the business and reminded him.

"By the way, uncle, I haven't asked, which big brother of the club does our street belong to?"

"It's Hongxing's elephant, na, he also drove the opposite street and cut each other with others, it seems to be the high-ranking man of Dongxing." This uncle who has lived in watercress street for more than 30 years can recognize at a glance which two gangs are fighting and making trouble on the other side.

Following Uncle Fruit's prompt, He Shan was very disappointed in the elephant's combat effectiveness, and said that it was okay to beat Hongxing and Sizi Dongxing? In the case of a similar number of people, they can be defeated one after another, which is really unusual.

The situation is indeed just like He Shan said, it is a one-sided situation, only a few elephants are left on the Hongxing side who are struggling to support, and the rest are all lying on the ground waiting to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

"Hide, they're going to hit this side!" Seeing the elephant running across the road, Uncle Fruit immediately grabbed He Shan's arm and took refuge in the storefront on the street.

After entering the store, He Shan calculated the time, it was almost 10 minutes to fight, why didn't the police come out, the police in the movie were really inefficient, and let the old boy fight on the road, or in front of himself.

"Hack the elephant to death, don't let him run away, I must let him die tonight!"

The hostile Gu Chaozi Gao Laosen, who was fighting with the Hongxing elephants, was obviously red-eyed, commanded his subordinates to do things, casually sprinkled his anger on He Shan's beef offal stall, and kicked the beef offal stall down with one kick.

"If something happens, I'll carry it, and I'll hack ...... to death!"

"Then who is responsible for what happened to you! My offal stall provoked you, why do you spill your anger on it! ”

Looking at the offal sprinkled on the ground in distress, He Shan kicked up with an unhappy face, and kicked the old boy who kicked down his offal stall onto the road.

The scene suddenly quieted down, and all the melon-eating people on the street looked at He Shan who kicked people away.
