1. Eat white food
Because I got up too early, the street was deserted, occasionally one or two people, but also sold breakfast hawkers, speaking of the old Tianjin diet, there is a significant feature, that is, there are not many famous dishes that are loud, but the unique flavor of snacks is a must, especially early, dignitaries and nobles do not feel ashamed to get up early for a bowl of pimple dishes. Niu Erzhu's cold water had already run away with the urine that night, and now his stomach was empty, smoked by the fragrance of buns, fritters, and fried fruits in the morning breeze, and his stomach churned, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Da Shao originally planned to get a few small money first, and then have a full meal in a dignified manner, but his stomach is not empty, and no one can compete with his stomach, right? There is a way that when the conscience is lost, I have to play a scoundrel and eat a blank meal.
Gangsters are also particular about eating white food, not only to weigh their own identity, but also to look at the backstage of the rice seller, generally the big restaurants in the city are black and white, and the big people in the gang are hooked, and they can't have crooked ideas at all. As for the vendors who sell breakfast at the stalls, they are basically miserable people, so they can bully a quasi-child. Even so, there are differences in practice, basically divided into three categories, one is to eat horizontally, that is, pure bullying, sit on the stall, blow the beard and stare at the eyes, not a lifetime, the stall owner is not only careful to serve, before leaving also have to honor a few children, the horizontal food can be powerful, the hawker is also three, six, nine, etc., if you can't suppress it, you have to pull out the stick and be ashamed. The second kind of shun eat, although they are bullying people, but the face is much better than the horizontal food, mixed rice to eat with a smile on the face, extremely diligent, I don't know that I think the stall owner is his own father, and even have to help the stall owner work, before I have a breakfast, after eating some scenes, pat my ass and leave, the hawker wants to follow it, not according to the same is to set up a stall to beat people, before leaving you have to take some things. The third is to eat, to put it bluntly, it is on credit, the rice is silent, in front of the stall owner to pat his waist three times, to prove that he has no money, and then put a bowl of it himself, and leave directly after eating, but this stubble has to be remembered, sooner or later you have to send money to people, and the general hawkers will not stop when they see this, because those who will eat are people who take care of their faces, and you have to say that he is more uncomfortable than dead outside.
If you want to say that Niu Erzhu is not very good in the gang, he is also from a big gang, and if something happens, the brothers in the gang have to give him a head, not to mention a small businessman and a hawker. But Niu Erzhu is still a little tender in the end, and the neighbors in the street are embarrassed to come to Heng, so they have to follow the rules of eating, ask for chaos fritters, and gobble up their hearts.
After eating and drinking, Niu Dashao lit a cigarette and sat down on the side of the road, and his heart was full of totals. What's going on? Although the Green Gang is one of the best sects, Tianjin is not Shanghai, and it has not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. In these years, it is not easy to mix rice, Tianjin City Jiuhe is down, and there are many shops on the wharf, but it is a treasure place for mixed rice, and foreign gangs are covetous, and it is inevitable that they will take risks. A few years ago, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and the victims were unwilling to sit idly by, so hundreds of people went to Tianjin to make a living. If you want to say that the old Tianjin can be bullied, it is no wonder, there are so many meals, you divide a few bites, the original land-sitting households can not eat, these refugees can not make a living, some of them outlaws gathered together, known as the Shandong Gang, everywhere to grab the dock and smash the field, for a while the prestige is huge, stirring up the local gangs miserable. Niu Erzhu's Tangkou suffered the most because it mainly relied on the dock and pulling rickshaws to make money, and the Tang Gang said some time ago that he would set up a position with the Shandong Gang tonight, and divide it into high and low!
The disputes between the gangs are not a joke, because it is related to the food door of the 100th person, and it is common for more than a dozen people to die. The police department also turned a blind eye to this, and as long as there was no big mess, no one wanted to care about this idle matter. It is also that the gang is too powerful, in the old days, Yuan Wending, the gangster of Tianjin Weida, Yuan Sanye, committed a crime and entered the number, the Beiyang government did not dare to judge, and Yuan Sanye did not eat a gun until he was liberated. Niu Erzhu is also an old man in the gang, and he has shirked the past few times in the previous fights, but this time he was passed down by the hall leader, and whoever wants to go will have to sweep the floor out. There is no such thing as retreating from the gang in this green gang, whoever wants to go first has to be stabbed three times, and the knife has to be pierced with a clear light, this is called three knives and six holes, the gang hates the people who run away halfway the most, and the shot is extremely ruthless, three knives go down, ten have to die eight, and no one dares to take this risk. Niu Erzhu was helpless, and he also planned to be a hero, anyway, there were hundreds of people on both sides, and they might not be on their turn. As soon as the attention was settled, the grandmother at home who could scare the living to death said that Niu Dashao had committed Tai Sui in the past few days, and he was unlucky, and it would be bad luck to use knives with people. Niu Erzhu has been in charge for a total of half a day, although this family is full of weirdness, in the end, she is a fake grandmother, she has already harmed herself, why wait until today? After thinking about it, he couldn't help but retreat again, but the fourth master of the hall was very tight, and if he wanted to slip away, he had to think of a passable idea, otherwise he would not be able to pass the level of the brothers.
Don't look at Niu Erzhu's usual cleverness, bad ideas one after another, today is a little difficult, and he didn't have an accurate idea for a long time. Seeing that it was almost noon, it was time for dinner again, and Da Shao's stomach was making trouble again, Erzhu sighed, he had to try to eat a mixed meal, otherwise he would confront the Shandong Gang, but he couldn't play anything. Niu Dashao came back to his senses, but found that he unconsciously walked to the most prosperous area in the city, there is a five-story restaurant in front of him, the decoration is luxurious, contrary to the ordinary, in front of the building a yellow background inlaid with gold edges of the big guise "Dengying Building"!
There are several kinds of guins in the old society hotel, the most common is the blue cloth guise, and those who hang this kind of guise are all businessmen and sellers, who have no power behind them, and are the most polite to people. If it's a red cloth guise, you have to pay attention, the store must have raised a group of thugs, and if you want to play tricks, you generally have to be beaten up. What's even more powerful is the yellow cloth disguise, which is either supported by a housekeeper or has a backstage of the underworld, and it can't be provoked. The most powerful thing is still this kind of yellow and gold-trimmed restaurant, which dares to hang out such a guise, is either a business opened by the relatives of high-ranking officials, or high-ranking officials and nobles have entered the cadre shares, and the poor have to step aside when they see it. To say that the business of this "Dengying Building" is really good, there is a lot of traffic in front of the door, and it is very lively. Niu Erzhu saw it in his eyes, his heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea.
If you want to avoid tonight's catastrophe, you must find a grandiose excuse, unless someone in the family dies, and it must be an elder who is close to the present, or it is my own accident, and I can't go at all. Niu Erzhu was also forced to be really helpless, so he started the idea of "Dengyinglou", he planned to eat here for nothing, and he also slipped away after wiping his mouth. "Dengyinglou" is a big businessman with a solid foundation, and he will definitely not be able to tolerate him, although he will give the Qing Gang a little face, but a beating is definitely inevitable, and he will take advantage of this beating, lying that he is injured and broken, to avoid this catastrophe.
Having made up his mind, Niu Erzhu swaggered into the restaurant, and as soon as he came in, the shopkeeper in the store paid attention. What's wrong? Niu Dashao is dressed in a special way, with black clothes, black pants and black shoes, a white shirt inside, and a bald head without a hat. Honest people in the old society don't dare to wear like this, this is the exclusive line of the Green Gang hooligans, if you wear it indiscriminately, and meet someone in the gang, people will have to ask your teacher, cousin, that is, ask your seniority, who you are mixed with, if you can't answer, you will have to be beaten in vain. Usually, there are often uncles from the gang who come to the restaurant in the "Dengying Building", but no matter who it is, they will change into civilian clothes when they come in, and if they come in this suit, they are mostly looking for trouble.
The guys in Dengyinglou are not ordinary people, everyone knows the rules, a trotting over from the hall, and said with a smile: "Master, you are here, but you want to eat meat and be vegetarian today?" "Anyway, serving a pot of tea, the posture of serving tea is a bit special, holding the handle of the pot with one hand and holding the bottom of the pot with the other.
This meat and vegetarian dish is not a meat and vegetarian dish, people are asking you what you are doing here, how did this matter end today. Vegetarian refers to eating normally, eating accounts, and not owing each other. The meat is unreasonable, either looking for trouble, or eating and drinking for nothing, anyway, I have to mess with you. Niu Erzhu is also an old Jianghu, how can he not understand, smiled at the moment, turned over his hand, caught the teapot with the palm of his hand, and said: "Come to meat!" ”
How to take the teapot, it is also particular, if you don't take it, either you don't understand, or you don't appreciate it, and the shopkeeper has a deep hatred, and today is to work hard. If you stretch out the back of your hand, your hand is raised, it means to raise your hand, and there is still a discussion on this matter today, and the key depends on how to deal with the shopkeeper. Take it with the palm of your hand, that is the intention to eat white food, and after eating, you can do it, and let you dispose of it. The guy saw it in his eyes, his heart was bright, he was silent at the moment, he was bothered, and turned around and went into the room.
Niu Erzhu was going to take refuge from today's meal, but he was also calm in his heart, sipping tea while waiting for the guy to serve the food. I only heard the pots and pans in the room ringing for a while, a strange fragrance came, and the guy brought a dish with a smile on his face, the dish was bright in color and fragrant, like a famous dish. Who knew that when Niu Erzhu saw this dish, his face suddenly changed greatly, his face was like paper ashes, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "It's not good, I've seen a ghost today!" ”
