673 Night Market
"On the way to Hong, I saw a lot of children running around in groups on the street, and their parents didn't care?"
Hong Tao is not surprised by this situation, it is also the inevitable process of the development of things, whether you like it or not, you have to experience it, and you can't avoid it. But when I remembered it, I saw the children who were being chased by the security team, and I still wanted to ask clearly.
"Parents? Where there are parents, they are all illegitimate children. It's their most troublesome, stealing chickens and dogs, cheating, fighting and brawling, and there are adults behind them. From the TEDA market to the north is all their territory, as long as you don't go to the dormitory in the south, the security team has no way, and at most they can disperse. ”
Speaking of the direct grin of these children's shopkeepers, their eyes were full of disgust and despair, and there was no pity at all. And reminded Hong Tao again, don't provoke those children, even if you suffer a small loss, don't take it too seriously.
"Does the alliance care?" In the safe area of the capital, Hong Tao has also seen children who are old enough to go to school and run around like stray dogs all day long, but there are not many of them. Most of them are not without parents and no one to take care of them, but because adults are too busy with work to take care of them, and they don't have spare money to send to school.
But the situation here is completely different, all of them are children without parents, and there are so many of them, can the Union government turn a blind eye and ignore all of them? And it's not difficult to solve, a little bit of resources is enough for the children to eat and drink, why do you have to advocate more children while ignoring it.
"Hey, it's hard to manage, the security team used to arrest them for a while, and after they were caught, they were all sent to school to study. But they had no one to discipline them since they were young, and they learned a bad disease, and they couldn't sit still for half a day when they went to school, and they got into trouble, and it is said that they also injured several workers' children. ”
Now the workers quit and resolutely did not want their children to be with these wild children all day long, and the security team finally had to give up. Leave to fend for themselves, they all carry knives on their bodies, and they often fight over turf, and the dead and wounded are just right for dinner for the wild dogs. ”
The shopkeeper did not discriminate Hong Tao stood and spoke without backache, and the first-time travelers who came here must not be familiar with the situation, and after coming a few more times, there would not be so many questions.
The four of them didn't eat in the inn this time, not because they weren't hungry or reluctant, Hong Tao said that they would take everyone to eat delicious food! More than ten minutes later, TEDA Plaza arrived, and the food also came.
In the middle of the square there is a north-south street, lined with stalls on both sides. At the time of the meal, there were people in almost every stall, speaking in a southern and northern tone, eating all kinds of dishes.
As soon as he arrived here, Hong Tao's appetite immediately increased, and he wanted to eat everything he saw. In fact, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas here, nothing more than fried cakes, fried noodles, fried rice, dumplings, pot stickers, stewed dishes, grilled skewers, plus some cold dishes and fruit wine.
But no matter how you look at it, there were some years in the old world, and there were also small vendors selling food at many intersections in the capital, which came out at night, focusing on economy.
When you are hungry and want to drink and chat, you can sit on the street for an hour for a dozen yuan, eating and drinking beautifully. Catch up with the World Cup or something, and you can still watch the little broken TV put out by the boss for most of the night.
"Boss, come to four bowls, double intestines!" The first thing to taste is the boiled fire, except for Hong Tao, the remaining three gold diggers from Xinjiang Province are afraid that they have not eaten it. Especially Xiaoma, he's a Hui!
This dinner lasted an hour and a half, and I tasted more than a dozen kinds of food, but I didn't eat lamb skewers and belly. Finally, I came to the other end of the street and found a very characteristic stall.
Only liquor is sold here, and there are at least 20 kinds of liquor, which I dare not say is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as colorful.
In the face of such a fresh thing, how could Hong Tao not try it. So I pulled everyone to sit down, picked a few kinds of wine and had a small bowl of each, and then got two plates of boiled edamame and mixed cabbage heart from the stall next to it, and started drinking!
The taste is really good, at least it doesn't add any pigments and flavors, and it doesn't have industrial alcohol, it's pure brewing. The degree is not too high, it is most suitable for chatting and chatting, and drinking more will not get drunk quickly.
As the saying goes, there is no separation between tobacco and alcohol, and it is very expensive to talk while drinking. It may be that Hong Tao's big chimney is too good for smoking, and seven or eight cigarette butts were thrown around him soon, but they all disappeared soon.
This anomaly attracted Hong Tao's attention, and he quietly observed it from the corner of his eye for a while, and finally found the reason, a dirty little girl picked up all the cigarette butts.
She acted like a kitten, tiptoeing around the stall, quietly picking up the cigarette butts, running to the corner not far away to tinker and then quietly coming out.
"Girl, come here, what are you doing with picking up cigarette butts?" When the little girl reached for the cigarette butt on the ground again, Hong Tao suddenly turned around, baring two half-cut teeth, trying to soften his tone.
"They were all thrown on the ground, I didn't steal them!" The little girl obviously had a pair of fiery eyes, and was not deceived by this hypocritical smile, and refused to take half a step.
"Don't worry, I don't blame you, I'm just curious. If you are willing to tell the cigarette butt what to do, give you a whole ...... Two roots! Hong Tao quickly put away his smile, remembering that someone once warned him that the best thing to do if he didn't think of people as villains was not to laugh!
"Make a cigarette ......" I don't know if it was the serious face that played a role, or the two cigarette rolls worked, the little girl believed it, and took out two crumpled hand-rolled cigarettes from her coat pocket. Without waiting for Hong Tao to see it clearly, he immediately put it back again, which was very precious.
"Where is she...... Little slut, running to steal again, catch her! ”
Without waiting for Hong Tao to continue asking, a childish voice suddenly came from across the street, and five or six children ran over. When the little girl heard the sound, she ran to the back of the stall. It's a pity that her speed is not as fast as the children who came later, and she didn't run far before she was caught up.
What happened next made Hong Tao frown, and the group of children didn't stop after throwing the little girl to the ground, and took turns kicking and beating her. Although there is no too poignant crying, the whimpering that is suppressed in the throat is even more heart-wrenching.
"......" It's a pity that none of the stalls and people eating on the street plan to stop it, and they don't even look over there, so Hong Tao has no choice but to glance at the pony.
"What are you doing, get out of the way!"
"If you don't want to be knifed, don't be nosy!"
"Hey, little Wang Ba Lamb, you dare to play with me with a knife. Come on, come on, and see whose knife is fast! The pony didn't scare the kids away right away, but instead led to a confrontation.
Two older boys pulled out slap-long knives and threatened them viciously, which made the pony cry and laugh, and with a flash of his arm, he held a cold dagger in his hand, changing positions back and forth between his fingers.
"Outsiders, you're on a big deal, don't leave if you have the ability......"
This really calmed down a few children, looked at each other and no one dared to go up, but the momentum was not soft at all, scolded and left the little girl lying on the ground, and walked across the street step by step, his eyes were full of Chi Guoguo's hatred.
"Boss, let's have another bowl of noodles!" Hong Tao beckoned to the pony, motioning for him to bring back the little girl who was shrunk on the ground, and turned to shout at the stall next to him.
"Okay, a bowl of noodles...... A few, those children are not easy to mess with, let's leave quickly after eating, it is very troublesome to be targeted by them. The boss brought the noodles over, and whispered a few words when he lowered his head to collect the money, and he didn't care whether the guests heard it clearly or not, and immediately went back as if nothing happened.
"Come, wipe your hands first, and eat the noodles...... Eat, tell me what you're doing with cigarettes. This time, Hong Tao didn't smile, took out the toilet paper and handed it to the little girl, and then pushed the noodles over.
"Damn, you were a soldier in your last life!"
What happened next made Hong Tao a little taken aback, the little girl didn't push, and after confirming with her eyes that these adults were not making fun of her, she immediately launched a general attack on the opposite bowl. The one that eats is called a fast, you don't use chopsticks at all, you can grab it directly, you don't chew it, you can eat as fast as you want.
"Can you take the rest? I've caught it all, dirty! About half of the little girl suddenly stopped, stretched out her little tongue to lick the sauce off her mouth, and took out a small tin box from her arms, and after opening it, there seemed to be half a bun inside.
