Chapter II: Curfews
......
"Yo, isn't this Fang Butcher?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, do you want to avoid the money?"
Fang Hao was about to leave with his things, but before he had taken a few steps, he was surrounded by several big men.
"Who are you?"
He looked at the five big men surrounding him with a puzzled expression, all of them with big shoulders and thick waists, and their faces were full of tendons. Looking at their fierce and vicious appearances, they should be ruffians and hooligans in this area.
[But, I haven't messed with them?]
[For more than two years, I have been extremely low-key, unless I have to, I am always smiling and welcoming people, after all, I don't stretch out my hand to hit smiling people. γ
"Hello brothers, the weather is good today, I don't know what you're looking for?"
Fang Hao said with a smile, a smile is the best roller skating agent, and when you meet these guys, you just need to cooperate. In this era, no one will stand up for you if you are beaten, and no one will avenge you.
"I heard that Butcher Fang was still a scholar before, and he was about to take the Xiucai exam, so he was a big man! He didn't even know our Brother Wei!" the little brother next to Wei Hu said sneeringly.
γBrother Wei?γ
[Which one of the land snakes surnamed Wei is from?]
"Wei Hu?"
"Ah, it's Brother Wei, how is Brother Wei doing lately?"
Fang Hao suddenly remembered that it seemed that the eldest brother in the West Market next door was named Wei Hu. It's just that what is this guy doing here, could it be that Wang Genlong gambled and even lost this territory?
"Hmph, you have a bit of knowledge. The little brother snorted.
"Brother Wang Genlong was finished last night, and this area will be under our control from today onwards. β
"What the hell is that guy, it's a thing without his big brother's cover. From today onwards, we in this area, Brother Wei, will pay this month's protection fee. A big man with a big belly next to Fang Hao said.
"Fang Hao, right?"
After the little brother finished building momentum, Wei Hu slowly spoke up. He took a step forward and stuck to Fang Hao.
"Yo, look, the fine skin and tender meat, no wonder they are so popular with those mothers-in-law. Wei Hu stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on Fang Hao's face, while also pinching and feeling the white and tender face.
I have to say that in order to get rid of the identity of a butcher, the father of the predecessor let his son study exclusively and never work, so he raised a good face with fine skin and tender meat.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Wei, I heard that he used to be a cultural person, and his skin was like a girl, and he was quite soft. β
The younger brothers laughed loudly, and at the same time stretched out their hands and pinched a few handfuls.
"You have earned a lot of money with this little white face, those who can work hard, and don't lose money. β
"Two portions!"
Wei Hu stretched out his hand and said with two fingers.
"Heh... Heh..."
Fang Hao forced himself to laugh softly, the fist he hid in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and the gaze that looked at Wei Hu from the depths of his eyes was full of coldness. Although he is low-key, he is not afraid.
He's just lazy,
Why do you mess up something that can be solved with money?
But in the face of Wei Hu, Fang Hao didn't really want to solve it with money at this time......
"Yes, yes!"
"Brother Wei, this is this month's share of the money, which was originally given to Brother Wang, but now it is handed over to you. And this one is extra, and Brother Wei's face has to be enough. β
Fang Hao took out two copies of the money and said with a smile, not showing the slightest anger at all.
"You know each other, but keep doing your best. Sell more every day, don't rest so early, and strive to pay three cents next month. β
"Let's go ......"
......
Looking at the other party in the distance, Fang Hao's expression suddenly turned cold.
He looked coldly at Wei Hu's unmanned back and smiled coldly, his smile was no longer the previous affinity, but full of cruelty.
"Five people, five palms!"
Fang Hao muttered, his face is not so easy to pinch, and his money is not so easy to take!
Don't look at his usual easy-going appearance with a smile, if you really want to be ruthless, Fang Hao is not stunned. After all, without a little ruthlessness, he can't sell pork so well and survive in this market.
Blocking people's money is like killing his parents, Fang Hao's business is booming, but he blocks the money of other butchers. Those guys are not easy to get along with, and they secretly had bad intentions at the beginning.
But now, those who have had bad thoughts have long been physically disabled due to various accidents, and they are no longer able to continue killing pigs......
People are really forced out.
This is the insight that Fang Hao got when he struggled on his own for more than two years......
"Let you be happy for a few more days......"
Seeing Wei Hu and the others happily going around to protect the fee, Fang Hao also let out a sneer.
If the other party was like Wang Genlong, and silently collected the protection fee, Fang Hao would not be like that at all.
After all, if there is one less Wang Genlong, there will be thousands of Wang Genlong.
As long as Fang Hao is still here, as long as he doesn't have enough strength and no backer, then he will have to bear the fate of being charged protection money.
But the other party just made Fang Hao very uncomfortable, as soon as Fang Hao was uncomfortable, he would not make the other party comfortable!
......
At dusk, the streets become sparsely populated with pedestrians.
In a tavern in the West District, Fang Hao walked out leisurely. All afternoon, he went to find out the news. Fang Hao never fights uncertain battles, since he is offended, then things must be handled beautifully, and there is no end to it.
"There's no one anymore......"
Walking out of the tavern, looking at the gradually empty street, Fang Hao was still very unaccustomed.
Once the sun went down was just the beginning of the nightlife, but now that the sun is setting, almost everyone is going to sleep. His current pastime is mainly to go to taverns and teahouses to listen to the storytellers and others blowing water.
"It's been more than two years, and I'm still not very used to this world without nightlife......"
Fang Hao walked on the deserted street, and the sky gradually darkened. After living for a long time, he understood why every family had so many children in ancient times, and the feeling was that he was too bored at night to have nothing to do......
......
Squeak
Pushing open the door, Fang Hao returned to his empty home. This family used to be a happy family, but due to the sudden violent illness of the predecessor father, the mother couldn't bear the exhaustion and went with her soon after.
When he got home, he lit a candle and started boiling water for cooking.
After enjoying the rich nightlife of the 21st century, Fang Hao, who has nothing to do, regards cooking as a spice up for life. Gradually, his cooking skills got better and better.
"Well, today this piece of pork is chewy and tastes good. β
Fang Hao ate his meal with relish, the meal was very simple, a large pot of pork plus fish left over from noon, and a plate of green vegetables. But these are already rich for a person's Fang Hao.
"Hey, it's hard to be a single dog, it looks like it's time to find a wife. In the days when there is no mobile phone, it is extremely boring to be alone. Fang Hao said secretly while eating, he decided to promise Mrs. Song to go and see the girl tomorrow afternoon, I heard that the girl looked good.
After eating and drinking, Fang Hao came back from wandering around, and it was already as dark as ink. If it was according to the time of the previous life, it would have been about eight o'clock.
boom
boom
boom
"Curfew!"
"Curfew!"
"Everyone, wait, turn off the lights and go to bed. β
......
A loud gong sounded, followed by a loud shout, it was Huancheng's army patrolling.
"Curfew again! This month's curfew is advanced again!"
"It's annoying to have a curfew for a few days a month, like a great aunt. Fang Hao muttered.
In this strange world, even if there is no nightlife, there is often a curfew, which is really annoying. You know, the curfew here is not allowed to light the lights, everyone is not allowed to go out, the lights are not allowed, and it is not allowed to be noisy.
There's only one thing they can do, and that's sleep!
When he first arrived, curfews weren't so frequent, about seven days a month. But for some reason, the number of curfews has become more and more frequent recently, and it can be more than ten consecutive days a month.
It's simply amazing!
"Whew. β
Fang Hao blew out the candle and sat alone in the room depressed, he originally planned to find a quiet open space outside tonight to exercise, but now he can't get out.
"Forget it, let's exercise in the courtyard this time. Fortunately, this family has a fairly large courtyard, which is enough for me to exercise. Fang Hao decided, if he didn't finish it, he would always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
His consciousness soaked into his mind, and a line of data appeared in his mind, which had appeared since he crossed over.
γKitchen Eight Style: LV2 (9982\10000)γ
"I'm still 18 times away from being able to get promoted to LV3, and my sword skills should be extremely amazing by then!
