【Chapter 186】First time in Shanxi
"Boss! Give me another whole bowl! More noodles, less soup, and less spicy! The sea put chopsticks in his mouth and shouted at the boss with a chef's hat backstage.
The owner, surnamed Cui, has been running the noodle shop for more than 20 years since his father, and now his son is also helping out in the shop.
The store is not big, there are eight small tables and three large tables, when there are many people, there are more tables outside in the summer, and there will be queues at the door in winter, the old store has never advertised, it all depends on the word of mouth among the diners, and the business is booming.
But this year, the city plans to renovate, a main street passes in front of the store, and you have to occupy your own house, and the day of moving out here is approaching. The old neighbors around him have already moved out, and only his family is still guarding this noodle restaurant, wanting to wait a few more days and move out when there is a suitable shop.
Lao Cui's son saw a restaurant in Shanghai the day before yesterday and made a super large hamburger, as long as one person can eat it, he can get it for free. In order to attract customers, he discussed with Lao Cui to play the banner of a super-large bowl of noodles, one is a gimmick, and the other is to make a little more money.
Lao Cui specially bought a box of big flower bowls for this purpose, how big is this flower bowl? The carp of more than two catties lies flat in the bowl and can't touch the edge of the bowl after the head and tail!
Such a big bowl, two bowls are a ball of noodles in their hands, with toppings, noodles, this bowl of noodles does not say that one person has to eat it, even if two people support the wall and go out, they may not be able to eat it all.
But today Lao Cui has seen a lot, because the first bowl of the big and tall table No. 3 has seen the bottom, and a table of cold dishes, appetizers, and flavor stir-fry will have been liquidated, and he actually wants another bowl!
The sea peeled off the garlic and took a bite, the beads of sweat on his nose squirmed back and forth with his cheeks, and the sweat squeezed out of the pores of his scalp mixed and flowed down the neck of the sea, but he didn't care about it at all.
I turned the bowl clockwise several times with my chopsticks, and I saw that there were no more noodles. picked up the big bowl and drank several mouthfuls of soup in a row, until the liquid level was close to the bottom of the bowl, he hiccuped and put the bowl down, and then turned around and shouted at Lao Cui inside: "No, boss, hurry up!" I'm out of food, don't forget to put less coriander, don't because I didn't say you were so old just now, I can't get used to it! ”
Lao Cui's knife almost didn't hit his fingers.
"Boss! Bring me another plate of beef in sauce, your thing is delicious! Mix cucumbers and have another plate, just as I taught you! ”
Lao Cui's daughter-in-law was on a mop and listened to the sea shouting in front of her. I didn't come back for a long time, and it wasn't until Lao Cui turned around that he saw his daughter-in-law scolding motionlessly, and Lao Cui's daughter-in-law woke up from a big dream and sighed: "This baby is really good!" ”
"Team Luo, what are we going to do next?" The sea asked as he peeled garlic.
Luo Wen looked at the map of Shanxi where Zulong came with a toothpick, and frowned: "There are too many historical sites in Shanxi, and there are even more ancient tombs. There are too many possibilities for the burial place of the Zhong family's tomb, and it is not easy to find out, so it is best for us to talk to the tomb robbers here, maybe we can ask some signs."
Zu Long slumped on his chair on all fours. I didn't bother to raise my eyelids: "The police can't find it, where can we find these people?" ”
Luo Wen put away the map, thought for a while, and said, "Do you remember Liu He's website?" ”
Dahai stuffed the last piece of beef on the plate into his mouth, and then said vaguely, "I don't remember." As far as you know, you know."
Rowan thought about it, and said: "I'll release a message later, naturally there are experts who will take the job."
Zu Long opened his eyes and looked at Luo Wen with a smile: "Are you rich?" ”
Rowan scratched his nose. Looking at Baozi on the other side, Baozi covered his bag tightly, then shook his head, made a pinch of himself and rolled his eyes, the meaning couldn't be clearer, if he touched Chen's blind man's money, then Baozi would have to let Chen Blind die.
Rowan squinted one eye: "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand"
Baozi's eyes widened after hearing this, he opened his mouth and exhaled, quickly shook his head again and again, and then took the chopsticks and stood with the noodle soup and wrote a few handsome words on the table: Chen Ye said that he would give a total of three hundred for the road to Shanxi.
"Oh my god! What a fucking slamming door! Why didn't he say thirty? The average person is less than ...... I'll do the math later, divide three hundred by four...... Not divisible ...... Four-eight-thirty-six, not enough to ...... That's the seven...... A talent is seventy-five, how much is this meal! Isn't that! The sea said with a roll of his eyes.
Zu Long looked at Luo Wen with a smile: "Four, eight and thirty-six, look at our sea, don't look at the previous calculations that are not very reliable, but the result is right!" ”
The sea didn't know it, and took the shaved noodles brought by Lao Cui and frowned and scolded: "Get out!" What have I become! I passed all the math in elementary school, and I learned it well! Then he looked up at Lao Cui, "If I don't eat this bowl, can I return it?" ”
"Can't!" Lao Cui hurriedly replied with his mouth open.
Zu Long smiled: "You have nothing to do, you don't have any money to eat!" After speaking, he pointed to the advertisement on the wall.
After reading it word by word, the sea asked Lao Cui: "Can you return the beef or something?" ”
Lao Cui's daughter-in-law happened to come out with a curtain and a mixed vegetable beef, and Lao Cui shook his head: "I can't either!" ”
The sea snorted: "Then pull it down" After speaking, the snoring whale swallowed, and the old Cui daughter-in-law next to him was dumbfounded, and even Lao Cui wanted to unbuckle the collar when he saw it.
When Lao Cui and his wife left, the sea asked Rowan with chopsticks: "Then what's going on now?" We can't stand on the gate of the ancient city of Pingyao and shout: Which of you is a thief! Stand up and let my fellow take a look! ”
Baozi snorted and laughed, but because of the aphasia, there was only the picture and no sound.
The sea turned its head: "Ah! And the ones who have fun! Come on, I'll make you laugh enough! After saying that, the sea went to scratch Baozi's itch, Baozi has smiled more since he left Chen's blind man, and he is familiar with these people, so he is not raw at all, the sea is ripe, and he has never treated anyone as an outsider, and this kind of frolic is also common along the way.
Lao Cui looked at the big tall man outside and the little one next to him who was not very old, and felt that there was a drama in his heart, and when he looked at the clock on the wall, a bowl of noodles was stipulated to be eaten in forty minutes, and the hot soup noodles were colder and more unpalatable.
Rowan also likes Baozi from the bottom of his heart. Baozi was born with aphasia, but he has a rare fast mind, is very clever, and looks well-behaved, which is the kind of old saying that looks pleasing. In fact, Rowan has always been thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, how to settle Baozi.
Let Baozi find a small hotel to live in, there are too many people who are not right-hearted these years, in case something happens, Baozi has a hard time arguing, and he will definitely suffer. Find a hotel with a size. As far as Chen Blind Man picks the door, not to mention the star, it is a special room in the Express Hotel, and Chen Blind may sell the treasure for two days to pay for the room. So this matter is really enough for Rowan to have a headache.
Just when Rowan was distracted, Zu Long suddenly smiled, and while eating noodles with his right hand, he pressed his left hand against Baozi's head to prevent Baozi from catching his own sea and was stunned: "Your fucking reflex arc is too long!" It's been an hour since I told this joke before you reacted! ”
Zu Long's eyes turned white, and then he raised his eyebrows at Luo Wen: "Wen'er." Lack of money, isn't it? ”
Luo Wen was a little cold sweat by Zu Long's sudden wink: "What are you going to do?" ”
Zu Long leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head, and the thief smiled: "The money is on me!" ”
Baozi didn't move when she heard this, then looked at the sea, and then at Rowan. Then he looked at Zulong again.
The sea also didn't swallow a mouthful of noodles, almost choked, and quickly snorted and drank a big mouthful of soup, followed by a glaring and shouting: "Oh mom! Zu Shao. You're not going to be a duck, are you? This thing is a quick money, I just thought, the four of us can do this job. Team Luo's stubborn temper is the master who does not obey the master. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to, the guests have to feel that they're in a loss, as for the treasure...... Growth is a little slower, so you're still open-minded! Our brother has received this love! ”
Zu Long was lying on the chair backwards, and almost fell over after hearing this, and when Zu Long hurriedly stood firm, he instantly drew his short sword and stared at the sea, but Dahai had already sat on the table next to him with a big bowl, and by the way, he also poured peeled garlic and sauced beef into the bowl.
"Zhao Haikuan! You can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth! Zu Long put away his short sword and glared at the sea and scolded.
The sea mouth was full of noodles, and he said vaguely: "I just talk about things, this place is unfamiliar, and we don't have anything on us, where can we get money?" When Team Luo came, they said that the locals gambled in other places, and Mao Dajin just got 10,000 handfuls, what is enough? ”
There was not only one table of guests in this room, but also two other tables, so the sea was so noisy that the guests of these two seats were all relieved. Rowan picked up his chopsticks and gestured towards the sea: "Come back!" ”
When the sea came back, Luo Wen asked Zu Long: "Tell me your method"
Zu Long waved his hand at the three people, and the four of them all lowered their heads to the table, hunched over and attached their waists to the table, and then Zu Long whispered: "Actually, the three of us have money."
After listening to this, the sea took out his pocket: "I have a piece of three, and I bought tea and eggs in the morning."
Rowan felt pain in his temples after hearing this, and then nodded at Zulong.
Zu Long then smiled and said, "I just remembered that website you just mentioned, didn't we find Liu He through that website?" ”
"What's going on?" Dahai took a big bite of noodles and stuffed two pieces of beef into his mouth by the way.
Zu Long's buttocks, which was originally sitting on the stool, suddenly lifted up, and the whole person squatted on the chair violently, and then knocked on the table with his fingers with a little excitement and whispered: "Liu He gave us the first payment, you forgot!" ”
Oops! When I woke up the dreamer at a glance, I was originally lamenting that a penny was difficult to defeat a hero, but in a second before and after, four poor men who were less than 300 yuan now have money all of a sudden!
"How do I get it?" Rowan asked at Zu Long.
Zu Long raised his eyes: "Take it with a card!" ”
Rowan stretched out his hand: "Where's the card?" ”
"Card ...... Lost in the Dian National Tomb! Zu Long was immediately deflated.
Luo Wen hugged Zulong's neck and smiled: "Young man! ”
The sea was quite unimpressed: "If the card is lost, you won't get another one."
"Do you have an ID?" Rowan looked up at the sea.
"Nope!"
"Hukou book?" Rowan asked again.
"Nor at all"
"Take 10,000 steps back, do you dare to say what your name is?" Rowan tilted his head and looked at the sea.
The sea thought for a moment and shook his head: "Don't dare"
Zulong and the sea were a little deflated, Rowan stared at the wall and thought about it, and slapped the table: "Eat quickly, I'll take you to a place after eating"
As soon as the sea saw Luo Wen's eyes, he knew that there was a play, so he snorted and even the soup and noodles were all down, and Lao Cui pinched his watch and waited to come out to count the money, but just a minute before the time, the sea put down the empty bowl.
This season is the hot time in Taiyuan. Both sides of the road are verdant, and the air in the nasal cavity is not as dry and cracked as in the north, but the scorching heat is not as good as the floral fragrance brought by Yunnan, in short, it is not good or bad, so that people can't find fault, but it can't talk about the advantages.
Fortunately, at night, the breeze brought a hint of heartiness, driving away the anxiety of the day, and people couldn't help but feel relieved.
The ancient city of Pingyao is located in the central part of Shanxi Province in northern China, and was built during the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,700 years. So far. It also retains the basic features of the county seat in the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368~1911 AD), and can be called the most complete ancient city in the Han nationality region of China.
In the fourth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1824 AD), the prototype of China's first modern bank, "Rishengchang", was born in Pingyao. Three years later, Rishengchang set up branches in many provinces in China.
In the 40s of the 19th century, its business further expanded to Japan, Singapore, Russia and other countries. At that time, driven by the "Rishengchang" ticket number, Pingyao's ticket number industry developed rapidly, and there were as many as 22 ticket numbers here in its heyday, which once became the center of China's financial industry.
Rowan led the three of them to a small bar in the ancient city of Pingyao. In fact, the bar is not big or small, it is a house that has been changed, and it seems that the decoration is not less expensive, and the doors and windows of this small bar are transparent on the street. The style inside is casual and elegant, and I don't see how expensive the house is, but there is delicacy everywhere in the eyes.
At the moment, the bar is full of customers, accompanied by the guitar singer's singing. People laughed and talked loudly to each other, as if there were no troubles in this world.
Dahai sat on the high chair at the bar, turned around and stabbed Zu Long with his arm: "Zu Shao." That girl is looking at you! ”
Zu Long leaned on the bar and looked at the tips of the sea, and sure enough, in a six-person table, a woman with heavy makeup glanced at Zu Long from time to time, and nodded slightly and chuckled when she looked at Zu Long, and there were all kinds of charms between her eyebrows, which was particularly beautiful and moving by the dim lighting.
"Oops! Zu Shao, the one over there is also watching you! "The sea stabbed the ancestral dragon as if it had discovered a new continent.
Zu Long turned around and asked the bartender for a glass of lemonade, then took a big sip and asked Luo Wen: "Wen'er, we don't have money to spend here."
Luo Wen also leaned against the bar, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at Zu Long: "Who said that you want to spend here?" ”
Zu Long's mouth opened suddenly, then he looked at the lemonade in his hand, and then at Luo Wen.
Rowan smiled and said, "Drink!" I please! ”
After speaking, Rowan turned around and waved at the bartender, and waited until the bartender approached before asking, "Your boss's surname is Huang?" ”
The bartender shook his head with a smile: "Boss Huang, how many years ago did it, and from him, this is all third-hand."
Rowan was not surprised, but asked the bartender to lower his body a little, and then whispered to him: "You tell Huang Tao that if you can't see anyone else within a minute, I will smash this store" After speaking, Rowan deliberately turned sideways, revealing the handle of the three-barrel revolver in the holster behind his waist.
The bartender was obviously also an old man, and he could see that this gun was genuine, so he seemed to glance at Rowan, but in fact, he remembered Rowan's appearance, and then threw down the snow-white rag and walked quickly to the back of the bar. After a short time, two big men walked in from the back of the bar with a beaded curtain, and the bartender pointed at Rowan with his chin, and then the two big men strode in front of Rowan approach.
"You want to see Brother Huang?" One of them asked, straightening his head.
Rowan picked up a toothpick from the bar and stuffed it into his mouth: "Call brother in front of me, he's not worthy yet"
The flat-headed sea nodded, and then said with a mockery: "Boy, get out of the acquaintance!" Don't think that you dare to go wild with a guy, go out and grab someone to inquire, the night bar is not the place where you should come, get out! ”
The sea has always paid attention to the girls, and his eyebrows are dancing to teach Baozi how to talk to the girls, but this sentence is too harsh, and he listens to it at once. The sea was originally sitting on a high chair, but after hearing this, he stood up unhurriedly and stood next to the two big men.
The two big men were originally very close to Rowan, but they suddenly felt that the light behind them was blocked, and they couldn't see Rowan's face clearly. The two of them hurriedly looked back and almost sat on the ground in fright. They saw a black shadow standing in front of them against the light, and when they got used to it, they looked at it, this is a black shadow, this is clearly a giant!
This person is definitely more than two meters tall, five big and three thick, and the thickness of the two sternocleidomastoid muscles is enough for four people to copy dishes, not to mention that the biceps muscles that are tightly wrapped in clothes are as big as their own heads, and these two big men are like little chickens in front of this person.
The sea grabbed a bottle of Heineken and bit the cap of the bottle, drank it with a grunt, burped and said, "What's the matter with you two?" ”
These two big men were a little weak all of a sudden, but after taking other people's money, they had to take care of things at the critical moment, and the flat-headed man pulled his neck and shouted: "It's none of your business!" Get out of the way! ”
The sea caught a glimpse of Rowan and nodded, so he smiled and said, "Oops! Honestly, since I entered puberty, there are almost no people who dare to talk to me like this, why? Because ......"
Before the words fell, the sea suddenly struck! The whole bar exploded in a moment! (To be continued......)
