Chapter 22: The Provocation Comes
In the early morning, before the light of the morning sun completely sprinkled the earth, Ye Jian got up early.
If you want to become a strong person, hard work and hard work are the most basic.
Whew!
In the small courtyard, Ye Jian's figure fluttered, and the steel sword in his hand waved back and forth, shooting out light cyan sword qi.
Puff puff...
The ground is like a knife cutting tofu, leaving sword marks one after another, but fortunately, Ye Jian has a proper grasp of the amount of force, and the sword marks on the ground are not deep.
Whew!
The figure flashed continuously, one after another afterimages brushed by, the white light flashed, and suddenly another sword cut through.
Ye Jian stopped his figure and frowned, "Strange, why is this eighth move 'Immortal' so difficult to practice, I always feel as if something is missing." Ye Jian frowned, and immediately performed his "Nine Styles of Pure Sword" again, over and over again, until the sun rose high, Ye Jian stopped cultivating.
"I'm still not up to the eighth move, but I think I'm getting closer. ”
Ye Jian simply took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and went out.
......
In the front hall of Ye Ji Hotel, Father Ye was tapping on the keyboard on the counter, and when he saw Ye Jian coming, he was slightly surprised, "Jian'er, you don't practice martial arts in the backyard, what are you doing here?"
"Tight strings are easy to break, and proper adjustment is necessary. Ye Jian chuckled, and then asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Young master, just have me here, I don't need your help. Xiao Pang, who was greeting guests on the first floor, suddenly rushed to Ye Jian's side and said with a smile.
"Hehehe. Father Ye smiled, Ye Jian's actions made him very happy, he remembered that Ye Jian had never helped in the store before, probably because he had experienced some things and grown up. Father Ye thought in his heart.
"Jian'er, there is Xiaopang on the first floor here, and you Fubo on the second floor, there are enough people. In this way, you go to the back kitchen to help your mother and see if your cooking skills have improved in the past two years. Father Ye said.
"Okay. Ye Jian nodded, and went directly to the back kitchen.
As the sun rises, more and more customers come to eat.
And at this time, a young man dressed in brocade and carrying three or two retinues in Tsing Yi came from a distance.
"Seventh Elder, but this shop?" the young man looked at Ye Ji Hotel and asked a middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man is a man in his forties with a grim face, who has reached the peak of the eighth level of martial arts and may advance to the ninth level of martial arts at any time.
After hearing the question of the young man next to him, the middle-aged man immediately replied: "Hui Shao Gang Master, this is it." ”
"Okay!" said the young man to the other attendants beside him, "let's go and have a good meal first, and as for the rest, we'll talk about it later." ”
"Yes. The middle-aged man nodded in praise, but when he raised his head to look at the Ye Ji Hotel, his eyes flashed fiercely.
A group of people rushed towards the Ye Kee Hotel.
And after the group left, a group of people immediately gathered on the street and gossiped.
"Wasn't that the young gang leader of the Bamboo Gang Yin Jiu just now? Looking at his hot appearance, it seems that he went to the Ye Ji Hotel. Someone wondered.
"Could it be that the Bamboo Gang is preparing to find trouble with the Ye Kee Hotel?" said another person next to him suddenly.
"Hmph, don't be stupid," someone in the crowd immediately retorted: "Behind the Ye Ji Hotel is the Ye family, in Blackwater City, there is the one who dares to take the initiative to provoke the trouble of the Ye family? ”
The speaker's voice paused, and he continued: "In my opinion, the Yin Jiu Young Gang Master went to eat at the Ye Ji Hotel, after all, the food there tastes like a must. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. As soon as this person's voice fell, someone around him immediately nodded yes.
"You're still being reasonable. ”
Hearing this, the face of the person who spoke before showed a touch of condescending pride, as if he was much taller than the others.
Yin Jiu and the others had already entered the hotel, which immediately attracted Father Ye's attention, and he didn't feel his brows furrowed at the moment.
"This son, is it a private room on the second floor?" The little fat man was sharp-eyed, and he noticed Yin Jiu and the other five people early in the morning, and immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Bring my son-in-law a private room, and by the way, bring all the best dishes in your shop. The Seventh Elder stared at Ye Xiaopang with a proud expression, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, okay, this son, please. Ye Xiaopang's face showed ecstasy, and he immediately took Yin Jiu and his nine people to the private room on the second floor, but when he left, Yin Jiu's cold eyes secretly swept the figure of Father Ye on the counter, and he sneered in his heart.
Father Ye watched Yin Jiuwu enter the private room, and his brows immediately furrowed.
He naturally knows the identity of Yin Jiu, and the scope of the Bamboo Gang's power is these streets, Ye Ji Hotel has been relying on the huge power of the Ye family behind it before, so the Bamboo Gang does not dare to ask Ye's father to collect protection fees like other restaurants.
But now, Ye Kee Hotel has become Ye's father's private property, and the sudden arrival of the young gang leader of the Bamboo Gang is already very revealing.
However, as soon as he thought of Jian Ye, Father Ye's heart immediately relaxed a little, "With Jian'er here, even if the leader of the Bamboo Gang comes in person, I'm afraid I have to give Jian'er some face." ”
Thinking of this, Father Ye nodded comfortably and continued to bury his head in the abacus.
At the same time, in the back kitchen of the hotel, Ye Jian listened to Xiaopang's menu suspiciously, and unconsciously frowned.
"Chubby, who is this? Why are you so generous?"
"Childe, he is the young gang leader of the Bamboo Gang, the leading strength of the nearby streets, today he brought four people to our store to eat, and now he has sat down in the private room. Ye Xiaopang wiped the sweat on his forehead with the corner of his sleeve and replied softly.
"The people of the Bamboo Gang?" Ye Jian's brows furrowed even deeper, "They won't be eating the overlord meal, right?"
"No, it won't. Xiaopang said with a proud face: "There is a son here, forgive them and don't dare to sing this play." ”
"Perhaps. For Xiaopang's admiration for himself, Ye Jian just smiled faintly, "Okay, the dish will be ready immediately, you wait for a while." ”
After speaking, he said to Ye Mu next to him: "Mother, it seems that we have to hurry." ”
"Good. Ye Mu didn't say anything, and nodded directly.
Pu Weng!
Later, a raging fire ignited on the stove inside, and Ye Jian and Ye Mu each took a pot and added the raw materials that had already been prepared to the pot one by one.
Burst!
The fire burned even more vigorously, causing the temperature in the entire kitchen space to rise suddenly, Ye Xiaopang stayed aside, constantly wiping the dripping sweat with the corner of his sleeve, while Ye Jian and Ye Mu were calm and relaxed, without a drop of sweat on their foreheads.
Ye Xiaopang felt envious in his heart, how good it would be if he could cultivate martial arts.
Ye Jian held the spatula, kept stir-frying, and added some spices of different colors from time to time, the whole cauldron suddenly filled the room, and Ye Xiaopang, who was greedy, secretly swallowed several mouthfuls.
On the other hand, Ye Mu's speed was no slower than Ye Jian's, and the spatula kept flipping between her showy hands, and she swept the cauldron from time to time.
It was just a cup of tea, and the delicately made, fragrant delicacies were served into the prepared plates, and Xiaopang was already busy, holding one in each hand, and headed towards the private room on the second floor.
After all the dishes were ready, Ye Mu snorted lightly, glanced at Ye Jian with soft eyes, and said with a smile: "Jian'er, I didn't expect your cooking skills to progress so fast in the past two years, and you have just caught up with your mother." ”
"If I want to catch up with my mother, I'm still far away. Ye Jian laughed, and the mother and son were chatting in the back kitchen.
Time passed slowly, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Yin Jiuwu people in the private room on the second floor had already finished eating, but now they were deliberately delaying, and their intentions were very obvious.
"Master, these people have been finished eating for a while, why haven't they come down to settle the bill?" Fu Bo stood beside Father Ye and asked with a frown.
"I don't know what Lu Dao is, it should be discussing something, right?" Father Ye also frowned, but he had already guessed in his heart that Yin Jiu was deliberately here to find fault with this trip.
"With the sword here, there shouldn't be any problems. Father Ye muttered to himself, and then said a few words to Fu Bo, Fu Bo nodded in response, and Father Ye glanced at the private room on the second floor, took a step, and walked upstairs.
Fu Bo glanced at Father Ye, who was going upstairs, and then beckoned to Xiao Fat, and said, "You go to the backyard to find the young master." ”
Chubby is very smart, and naturally knows the intentions of Fu Bo, so he hurriedly ran to the backyard at the moment.
Not long after Father Ye entered the private room, he immediately heard the sound of fierce fighting in the private room, mixed with the sound of tea cups and plates breaking.
"Not good. Fu Bo was on the first floor, suddenly shouted, and hurriedly rushed to the private room on the second floor, but before he moved the ground, there was a 'clang' sound of broken windows upstairs, and a figure was thrown out directly, looking very embarrassed.
Seeing all the moments on the first floor, the interested ones hurriedly ran out, and the originally lively first floor became empty in an instant.
"Sir!"
Fu Bo was shocked, his body was vertical, and he directly caught the falling Father Ye.
At this moment, Father Ye's face was closed, his chest was sunken, oozing a large amount of blood, his right hand was extremely twisted, as if it had been twisted by some ** force, and beads of sweat kept dripping from his pale face.
"Master!" After Fu Bo caught Father Ye, he suddenly burst into tears, and the fist in his right hand was clenched.
"You kill a thousand knives, Lao Tzu will kill you. Fu Bo put down Father Ye, his figure flashed, and he quickly attacked Yin Jiu, who was going downstairs.
"Hey, the fourth level of a martial artist, dare to do something to Ben Shao, get out of here!" Yin Jiu's face was hideous, and his right leg kicked out directly, and suddenly a leg shadow directly kicked Fu Bo's abdominal ribs.
Rumble!
Fauber's figure flew upside down, smashing several tables before stopping.
"Ahem. ”
Fauber struggled to get up, covering his sunken chest with both hands, blood gushing out of his mouth, "If you dare to deal with us like this, you will die." ”
"Huh?!" After Yin Jiu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and the folding fan in his hand 'snapped', and the whole person turned into an afterimage and kicked towards Fu Bo again.
Bang!
The bones of Fu Bo's whole body suddenly made a crisp cracking sound, and mouthfuls of blood kept gushing out of his mouth, mixed with some internal organs.
"Ah Fu!"
Father Ye shouted, the whole person barely stood up, and his left hand quickly punched, smashing Yin Jiu's back socket fiercely from the back.
"Hmph! If you want to sneak attack the young master, don't even think about it. The Seventh Elder jumped directly from the stairs, grabbed Father Ye's left hand, click!
With two sounds, he directly twisted Father Ye's left hand extremely severely, and at the same time raised his right palm and slashed at Father Ye's back, bang!
Father Ye's whole person was directly slashed to the ground, smashing the floor on the ground, and streams of blood kept flowing out.
And at this moment, the diners who had already escaped and gathered outside the restaurant showed a trace of unbearability on their faces, Father Ye usually treated them well, but they didn't dare to stand up and say anything.
"This son is a disciple of Nanluozhong, and they will be good-looking later. An insider looked at the scene in the hotel and sneered secretly in his heart.
"Why don't you come yet, if you don't come again, Boss Ye will be in danger. ”
Everyone just prayed silently.
"Hehe, let me say it again, pay 10,000 taels of gold to our Bamboo Gang every year, do you agree or not?" Yin Jiu stepped on Father Ye, who was slumped on the ground, and asked with a calm face.
"I won't give you a penny," Father Ye's voice trembled and came out of his mouth.
"Look for death!" Yin Jiu was furious, and kicked his right foot Father Ye's body, and suddenly there was a sound of bone cracking.
"Master!" Fu Bo, who was lying not far away, shouted with difficulty, "Dog mongrel, it's better to let go of my master, otherwise when the young master comes, you will all die." ”
"Call you hard-mouthed. The Seventh Elder directly kicked Fei Fu Bo, slammed into the wall, fell down softly, and passed out.
"Haha......"
Yin Jiu and the other five people suddenly laughed.
"What kind of boy, isn't he just a waste? If he comes, I will directly cripple him. Yin Jiu's face jumped, and his eyes were extremely distorted.
