Chapter 123 Collecting Mountain Goods
Lao Chu took us to the back alley of the antique street, and he said that there was a family in the back alley, which was very tasteful.
"Skewers?" I looked at that old Chu.
"Oh, it's barbecue." After Lao Chu finished speaking, he took us around and around, if it weren't for him, we estimated that it would be difficult for us to find that store.
Moreover, when I arrived at the entrance of this store, I found that it was not actually a store, just a few makeshift tents, but there were seven or eight tables in total, and most of them were already full.
Lao Chu estimated that he was already very familiar with the boss, smiled at the boss and said, the same way, the boss immediately nodded and let Lao Chu sit.
Lao Chu glanced at those tables, and his eyes fell on the last table, where there was already a small figure.
It turned out that Chu Yao had already come over to occupy the position, but before we came, this Chu Yao had already started drinking, and the northern girl was very bold, not pouring it into the cup at all, but drinking directly to the bottle.
When he saw a few of us coming, he just glanced at us and continued to drink without saying a word.
"Old sister, don't drink silently by yourself, brother will have a few drinks with you." After the beer-bellied man knew Chu Yao's age, the expression and eyes when he talked to Chu Yao were weird.
Chu Yao looked at him and sneered: "Okay, but this wine is tasteless, let's change the burning knife." ”
"Okay!" The beer-bellied man agreed in one sip.
Chu Yao went to buy wine in person, and Lao Chu didn't stop her, so she bought four or five bottles of burnt knives and came back, and fought with the beer-bellied man.
However, this final ending was a bit surprising, the beer-bellied man was directly put down, and the thin monkey also drank until he hiccuped.
Lao Chu hurriedly stopped me from drinking any more, and I was silently eating skewers on the side, this meat was grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, not to mention how delicious it was.
In one breath, I ate no less than 20 skewers, and Bai Liunian silently poured me a drink on the side to relieve my tiredness.
Lao Chu noticed that Bai Liunian hadn't eaten, and persuaded him vigorously.
Chu Yao said angrily: "People dislike it, why bother to force it? ”
After speaking, he drank the rest of the wine again, and then got up and smashed the wine bottle to the ground, and suddenly yelled at his father Lao Chu: "Dead old man, this is the last time I will help, you remember it for me." ”
"Good, good, good." Lao Chu is very patient with this daughter of his.
Even if Chu Yao yelled at him like this, he still had a smile on his face, and after Chu Yao finished speaking, he turned around and left, Lao Chu could only smile bitterly at us and let us continue to eat.
Originally, this skewer was quite delicious, but their father and daughter quarreled so much, and the beer-bellied man on the side got drunk and began to go crazy, and the meal broke up so unhappily.
On the way back to the hotel, Lao Chu also specially told us that he would wait for us downstairs at the hotel at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and let us rest early.
When we returned to the hotel, knowing that we would leave early tomorrow morning, Bai Liunian and I rested early.
However, because he had already slept at noon, it was a little difficult to fall asleep now, and when he turned to the side, he found that Bai Liunian also had his eyes open, as if he was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking?" I asked Bai Liunian.
Bai Liunian frowned and said, "Don't you think it's strange? ”
"What's weird?" I asked suspiciously.
"Lu Hengming is too relieved to us, he didn't send his cronies to watch us, but he also found two inexplicable men to come over to help, isn't he afraid of what I will do?" After Bai Liunian finished speaking, his eyebrows tightened.
"This?" I hesitated.
"Also, that old Chu said, he just took something briefly, why did he send four people over?" Bai Liunian looked at me as he spoke.
"Maybe it's because Lu Hengming is too cautious." I thought for a moment and replied.
Bai Liunian immediately shook his head: "If it's really cautious, you won't let us come, just let Bai Peng and any of them come over to be safer." ”
Bai Liunian's analysis seems to be true.
Since he took that thing so seriously, there was no reason to send us who he didn't trust yet.
"And what is his purpose?" I couldn't help but start worrying.
Bai Liunian was silent for a while before he said: "No matter what the purpose is, we must be careful, Xiao Xi, after leaving tomorrow, you must always follow me closely." ”
"Okay." I hurriedly nodded at Bai Liunian.
When he saw me nodding seriously, he closed his eyes, and I turned sideways, thinking about what Bai Liunian said, until the sky outside was bright, and I realized in a trance that the night had passed.
Glancing at the time on the phone, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, and he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he got up to wash and feed the leeches, and Bai Liunian got up immediately when he heard the movement.
When the two of us were ready, it was exactly six o'clock, and when we got downstairs, we saw Lao Chu sitting in the hall of the hotel, smoking a cigarette and waiting for us.
Seeing us come down, he was courteous to take our luggage, but Bai Liunian waved his hand and put the luggage in the car by himself.
We waited downstairs for nearly twenty minutes, the beer-bellied man and the skinny monkey did not come down, Lao Chu was afraid of delaying time, so he hurried to their room to call them.
I thought something was wrong, but I just drank too much last night, and I didn't wake up at all, and it was a delay of more than an hour to wake them up and set off.
"Dead fat, don't drink if you can't drink it in the future, it's a waste of time." Chu Yao was short-tempered, and when he saw that the beer-bellied man was walking crookedly and needed the help of the thin monkey, his temper suddenly came up.
"I hate others for calling me fat, my name is Du Tao, you can call me Brother Tao, or Ah Tao." He hiccuped as he spoke, because he was in the car, which was instantly filled with a very unpleasant smell of alcohol.
Chu Yao immediately lowered the window, Lao Chu closed the door of the van, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and motioned for Chu Yao to drive.
Chu Yao's expression was very reluctant, but he still started the car.
And Du Tao was really hungover very uncomfortable, the car didn't drive for long, and he began to see him desperately waving his hand at Lao Chu, Lao Chu turned around and saw that his face was flushed, and he immediately understood that he wanted to vomit, so he hurriedly handed over the plastic bag.
Du Tao took the bag and vomited in the car, and I pulled the car glass open, because the sour smell in the car had made me almost suffocated.
This Du Tao is really unreliable, knowing that he is going to leave today, how can he still fight with Chu Yao last night, doesn't he know how much he drinks?
Chu Yao, who was driving, simply smoked a cigarette directly in the front of the car, while Lao Chu leaned on the seat, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
I just endured it like this, thinking that I would soon be able to reach the destination that Lao Chu said, but the car departed from more than seven o'clock and arrived at two o'clock at noon, and there was no intention of stopping.
Lao Chu directly gave one of us a bread and a bottle of mineral water to fill our stomachs, but I couldn't eat a bite of the smell on the car, but Du Tao and the thin monkey had a good appetite, and they ate one bite after another.
As time passed, the car gradually drove from the concrete road to the dirt road, and it seemed that the place we were going to was very remote.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally stopped after going up a dirt slope, Lao Chu opened the door of the van, and I couldn't wait to jump down and take a long breath.
There are mountains on all sides, and the air is very good.
"Let's go." Chu Yao parked the car, and this old Chu urged us.
Surrounded by mountains and potholed roads, I thought this should be a more remote village than my hometown.
Not long after walking towards this fork entrance, I saw a cement house, which looked pretty good, Lao Chu should be a frequent visitor here, and he found a family very familiarly.
The door of this house was closed, and Lao Chu patted the door for a long time, but he didn't hear any movement inside.
On the side, a few village women were chatting under the trees, while collecting the soles of their shoes, and when they saw us outsiders entering the village, they all looked at us with a vigilant gaze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't this noble brother at home?" Lao Chu looked at the women and asked.
The women asked Lao Chu rhetorically: "What are you doing?" ”
"Oh, collect the mountain goods." When Lao Chu said this, he deliberately learned the dialect tone of these aunts.
Later, I learned that this "mountain specialty" refers to something buried in the ground, and what Lao Chu said should be the evil spirit key.
"Really? I know that they eat alone, and they still don't admit it. After hearing this, an aunt muttered, and then got up and shouted at the gate with anger: "Ronggui's family, the collector of mountain goods is here." ”
As soon as these words came out, we soon heard footsteps, and then a crack opened in the door, and through the crack came half a haggard and shriveled man's face.
"It's out of stock, let's go." The man's lips were purple, and he was ready to close the door.
As soon as Lao Chu heard this, he immediately pressed the door of the man's house, still with a smile on his face: "Oh, Brother Ronggui is not good at joking like this, a week ago, didn't you say that there was a stock?" I've been waiting for a few days, but you didn't send it over, so I had to come to visit, why didn't there be any more, and I gave all the money. ”
After Lao Chu finished speaking, he took out a fixed money receipt, on which was written a fixed amount of 300,000 yuan.
When the man named Ronggui heard this, he glanced at those aunts, and immediately lowered his voice and sank his face: "It's gone, it's gone, it's a big deal, I'll return the money to you." ”
"Hehehe, it's okay to return, but you know the rules of our industry, those who break the contract have to be returned ten times, do you think it's cash, or check?" Lao Chu looked at Rong Gui.
Rong Gui's eyes widened when he heard this, he pursed his lips and looked at us: "Ten times? I can't afford to return it, but that thing is evil, and I have already asked my father to throw it away, as for the double refund of the money, don't you be embarrassed? ”
"Brother Ronggui, we don't want to embarrass you, otherwise, you should invite us to sit down first and explain things clearly, what's the matter? I'll go back and explain to the big boss. Lao Chu also pretended to be embarrassed.
That Ronggui listened, pondered for a while, and then invited us in, and the village women behind him chattered that Ronggui's family deserved to attract evil this time, and if they didn't follow the rules and ate alone, they should have retribution.
