Chapter 271: Despised !
Uncle Wang has been in the United States for decades, his English is very fluent, and he desperately flatters a few white people, pulling Tian Hong behind his back, for fear that Tian Hong will offend them if he is ignorant.
"You're the boss?" One of the white men looked at Uncle Wang with a smile.
"Yes, sir." Uncle Wang nodded.
"Ate it." The white man lifted the worm.
"I eat ......"
What people didn't expect was that Uncle Wang actually opened his mouth without hesitation and swallowed the wet green worm in the white man's hand into his mouth.
The expressions of several white people looked extremely exciting, and they were stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.
"Whoever makes trouble, who makes trouble......"
At this short moment of sluggishness, a group of men in black clothes and black pants rushed in and rushed directly in front of this group of white people.
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
……
Before everyone could react, this group of men in black clothes and black pants made a lightning move, and there was a dense sound of fists and kicks, and several white people had been beaten to the ground with their heads broken and bleeding.
"Get out, white pig who eats white food, next time I see you in Chinatown, see you once, fight once!"
A lean and short man kicked a white man, and the group of white people suddenly ran away with their heads in their hands.
Until a group of white people were beaten away, Tian Hong still had a feeling of confusion, because everything happened too fast, and there was no time to think, which made Tian Hong feel strange that Uncle Wang was not happy about this group of men's righteous action, and his face was gloomy.
This group of thin and short men said a few words to Uncle Wang, saying that if there is such a thing in the future, they will rush over to help Yunyun as soon as possible, and then they left, coming and going very capable.
Vaguely, Tian Hong saw a soldier's demeanor from this group of people, and the discipline was very strong.
Tian Hong found that after the men left, Uncle Wang seemed a little depressed, sitting at the bar with a look of being unrelenting, and occasionally making a phone call.
However, Tian Hong is not a curious person, he has already decided to leave, nothing has anything to do with him, there are too many unfair things in this world, he can't manage it if he wants to......
Tian Hong is not a chivalrous man, nor a righteous man, nor a passionate and angry youth, he is a superior person.
There is a common problem among those in power, and that is a lack of empathy.
A heart of steel is one of the necessary conditions for every superior.
I don't know if it's the reason for the continuous problems, the business in the store has been affected, and Uncle Wang has no intention of doing business, so he cleared the scene early, and a group of employees surrounded Uncle Wang to talk about today's affairs.
"Uncle Wang, I'm leaving here." Tian Hong was not interested in the topic they were talking about, and walked directly in front of Uncle Wang.
Tian Hong's words immediately caused a group of employees to laugh with disdain.
The timing of Tian Hong's departure now is obvious, and it makes people connect with what happened today.
If it was before, Tian Hong would naturally be still colored, but now Tian Hong, as long as he doesn't have a relationship with his own interests, he never thought that he would have a conflict with a group of ordinary people.
"Let's disperse, let's disperse, everyone is scattered, Chinatown is chaotic, it's ......okay to disperse" Uncle Wang waved his hand gloomily and said: "I will sort out the accounts tonight, settle the wages for everyone, the restaurant may be closed for a period of time, and when it opens, Uncle Wang will contact everyone's ......"
"Ah...... Uncle Wang...... Uncle Wang...... Where are we going to go if you don't open a restaurant anymore......"
"yes, yes......"
"Uncle Wang......"
……
Immediately, the crowd was surging, whether it was the chef or the runner, they were all anxious.
In Chinatown, many people who work in restaurants like this don't speak English, and they can't live in the United States except for working in Chinese restaurants, and many people have been working in Chinese restaurants for years or even decades, and they have become out of touch with the outside society.
"I understand everyone's feelings, Uncle Wang doesn't want to close the door, but it is dangerous not to close the door, and it is estimated that there will be a rush in the next period of time......"
Under Uncle Wang's explanation, Tian Hong understood.
In the past, Chinatown was not as bustling and clean as it is now, and the 5th District of New York's Chinatown can be said to be the cradle of gangsters, often riddled with shrapnel, and the crowded alleys of Mott Street and Pyle Street have always been the battleground of bloodshed. Merchants here pay thousands of dollars a year to the gangsters as protection money.
In the last century, in order to eliminate gangsters in Chinatown, the U.S. government set up the "Emerald Squad", they cracked down on gang activities, arrested some repeat offenders and sent them to prison, and slowly, Chinatown returned to normal law and order.
Of course, the main reason for this peace is that some of the organizers of the underworld elements in Chinatown have dug up the first pot of gold and have their own business in Chinatown, which is one of the key reasons.
In the past, the gangs in Chinatown were very chaotic, with all kinds of gangs mixed, with small gangs of three or five members being one gang, and large gangs reaching thousands; Among them, the most powerful is the old gang organization "Qinglong Gang", and after that, the "Huaqing Gang", "Big Circle Gang" and "Vietnam Gang" have appeared one after another.
Among these gang organizations, the most financially powerful are the Qinglong Gang, while the most popular are the Big Circle Gang and the Vietnamese Gang.
The person who is here today is a member of the Vietnamese Gang.
In the past, the Vietnamese gang was a rising gang in Chinatown, and the gangs in Chinatown had maintained a delicate balance, which has been shattered since the Vietnamese gang broke in. They went around picking and fighting for turf, and their fame quickly rose. Most of the gangs in Chinatown have fought against them and know how powerful they are.
The big circle gang does not specifically refer to a specific gang, but generally refers to people and groups engaged in criminal underworld activities from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, or overseas, and the various gangs and gangs composed of these groups are collectively referred to as the "big circle gang". In fact, the "Big Circle Gang" has never been a unified gang organization in the strict sense of the word, and the "Big Circle Gang" is only a general term, and the reason why this term is widely used is to distinguish the traditional old gangs in Chinatown that are mainly composed of locals, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese.
In the face of the strong combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese Gang, some old gangs suddenly suffered unprecedented blows, and the gang that can fight against them is the group of people in the Big Circle Gang.
In the Big Circle Gang, the model that can compete with the Vietnamese Gang is the "Red Star Gang", most of the members of the Red Star Gang are veterans from Chinese mainland, they have no wife and daughter family, and their style of doing things is ruthless, and they can be said to be invincible in Chinatown.
A group of young people listened to Uncle Wang talk about some legends and old things, and everyone was fascinated by it, and the excitement made people's blood boil.
I have to say that Uncle Wang still has a certain incitement to speak, and the Red Star Gang has almost become the embodiment of justice under his description.
Even Tian Hong was fascinated by what he heard, but Tian Hong just smiled at what Uncle Wang said, and through the data, whether it was ancient or modern, there has never been a so-called underworld organization that will preside over justice, and even if there is, it is just a whim......
Of course, Tian Hong was still very interested in the information provided by Uncle Wang.
Only after the establishment of the Emerald Detachment, both the Big Circle Gang and the Vietnamese Gang suffered a devastating blow, many gangs began to whitewash their identities, and a thriving Chinatown gang gradually began to decline......
"Uncle Wang, the Vietnamese Gang has appeared, won't the Red Star Gang ignore it?" A chef in a white hat asked.
"And what else is the Red Star Gang." Uncle Wang said with a wry smile: "Only since the establishment of the Jade Detachment, most of the members of the Red Star Gang have changed careers, and because the older generation is getting older, the new blood supplemented is not as ruthless as the older generation, this gang has slowly disappeared......"
The empty hall was inexplicably depressing.
Tian Hong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, in fact, the change of gangsters and dynasties is the same, no matter how brilliant it was before, time will always make you disappear, the great Tang Dynasty was at its peak, and it was not perished if it was said to be destroyed, not to mention that it was just some loose gangster organizations.
"Uncle Wang, then what should we do now, is it really closed?"
"I can only close the door, according to the way the Vietnamese gang acts, in the next few days, the people who come to make trouble will be more violent, and then they will come out to help, followed by the justifiable protection money...... Let's take a look first...... After the chaos, there will naturally be people who will come out, Uncle Wang is old......" Uncle Wang's round face actually showed a trace of gloom.
"Uncle Wang, Chinatown is the territory of the Chinese, if we can't even stay in Chinatown, then what are we talking about entering the mainstream society of Americans, Uncle Wang, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing to be afraid of, the Chinese in Chinatown is countless times more than that of the Vietnamese......" A young chef slammed his fist on the table with a look of righteous indignation.
"That's right, Uncle Wang, there are only about twenty people in our shop, there is nothing to be afraid of, they will fight if they want to!"
"That's right, Uncle Wang, let's keep the store open, if they all close, it won't take long for this Chinatown to become a Vietnamese street......
"Uncle Wang, it's nothing that the Red Star Gang has disappeared, we can start a new Red Star Gang and ...... with those dogs."
……
It was as if the cook had thrown a spark into a powder keg.
"But......" Uncle Wang glanced at the young people who were surging in emotion, and said with a wry smile: "The gang is not a street fight, so forget it......"
"Uncle Wang, closing the door will only give them an inch, let's observe first, see what tricks they play, Chinatown is not one of our Chinese restaurants, we can unite with other forces......"
"Yes, Uncle Wang, this store is closed, everyone has no place to go for a while, after closing, it will be difficult for this business to be done again, besides, if other restaurants are not closed, our first to close, won't others laugh at it."
……
"Good, good...... Since everyone is not afraid, Uncle Wang's old bones will be released, and it will be open as usual tomorrow, and I will contact the other bosses to see what they think...... Xiao Tian, you want to study, you don't come tomorrow, I will settle your salary for these three days now......"
Under the instigation of a group of people, Uncle Wang seemed to be connected, and his face actually showed a trace of pride, and when Uncle Wang said the last sentence, everyone's eyes fell on Tian Hong's face, and everyone showed a look of disdain.
Looking at the countless disdainful eyes, Tian Hong could only smile bitterly in his heart, it was obvious that everyone thought that his departure was because of the appearance of the Vietnamese Gang.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Tian Hong didn't want to explain, and he didn't bother to explain, he was not a chivalrous man, and he didn't have the kung fu to do these things.
"Don't embarrass Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian still has to study." Uncle Wang is open-minded.
"Yes, don't embarrass Xiao Tian, look at his small body, it's useless to stay." A chef yin and yang strange airway.
"Xiao Tian, you better go back to China early to feed, the United States is very dangerous......"
“……”
……
Looking at Tian Hong, who looked indifferent, Uncle Wang couldn't help but feel a little surprised, in the face of the blows of so many people, this young man was actually the slightest bit shaped, and there was a chilling calmness.
Uncle Wang has rich experience, and he has taken root in Chinatown when Chinatown is at its most chaotic, and he still has some eye for people, and it is really rare for someone like Tian Hong to be pampered and not surprised.
Of course, Uncle Wang was just surprised, and he didn't think much about it, after all, in his eyes, Tian Hong was just a child who was reading, and Tian Hong's pale face gave people an extremely fragile feeling, as if the wind could blow it down.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Tian Hong took the money handed to him by Uncle Wang, didn't count it, and put it directly in his pocket.
"Tian Hong, you can leave the day after tomorrow."
Just as Tian Hong turned around and wanted to leave, a young man who ran the hall called out to Tian Hong.
"Why?" Tian Hong asked lightly.
"Xiao Zhang and Yoyo have a friend who has a birthday tomorrow, and he asked for leave before getting off work just now, and he said that you will be substituted for the shift, and I will tell you when I get off work, if you leave, people will not be busy tomorrow, and it will really be closed."
Tian Hong didn't answer, glanced at the crowd, and sure enough, Xiao Zhang and Yoyo were not there.
The person who bills in a Chinese restaurant must know a little English, and suddenly there are three people missing, and it must be impossible to operate.
"Oda will definitely not agree, he is very busy, because he is going to run for president of the United States...... Haha......"
"Haha...... Xiao Tian, you better leave early, the Vietnamese gang is here, don't be scared and cry and lose your Chinese face......"
……
Seeing Tian Hong's silence, a few chefs immediately made sarcastic remarks, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.
"Forget it, don't embarrass Xiao Tian, go ahead, Uncle Wang can handle it, Uncle Wang has experienced all the winds and waves, just a Vietnamese gang is a bird, it's a big deal Uncle Wang gathered a group of old bones of the Red Star Gang......" Uncle Wang said with a look of high spirits.
"Wow...... Uncle Wang, are you from the Red Star Gang? A chef looked at Uncle Wang with an expression of adoration.
"Hey...... Old, old...... The hero didn't mention the brave ...... back then" Uncle Wang's face flushed, he was from the Red Star Gang, but he was just a gangster of the Red Star Gang.
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."
"Then thank you Oda, you go back to the place where you live first, and I'll go and discuss with someone......"
Uncle Wang shook off a group of chefs who were full of admiration for him, and hurriedly walked out......
