Chapter 26: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

Time passes day by day, and the New Year is getting closer and closer...... The snow also kept falling, and everywhere was white.

The charred black courtyard at the head of the town was completely covered in heavy snow...... Just a few days later, it was as if the old scar had disappeared for decades, and no one ever mentioned it again.

The Old Snake Gang also acted quickly, and on the third day after the incident, a new steward was sent to take charge of the medicine market.

The new steward kept silent about what had happened before, as if he didn't know anything about it, but set up a lot of new rules, such as the venue fee of the drug market is only charged at 10% of the money for selling medicines, and those who enter the city to sell drugs in violation of regulations will be fined ten times......

Far from being dissatisfied, the townspeople of Ping'an Town had more smiles on their faces, and they all felt that their lives were rushing......

Because although this rule is still very harsh, it is countless times better than the old scar's mood!

"The life of ordinary people is like this, where there is nothing to think about, as long as they can live, there is a stutter...... It's very satisfying. Under the eaves, Jiang Ming looked at the snow scene while drinking hot tea, and said to himself:

"It's a pity that some old men just want to squeeze them to death......"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Brother Ming, Steward Dong is invited!"

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, Steward Dong is the new steward of the Old Snake Gang, he has never seen it, and now he is looking for himself, is it possible that something happened?

"Probably not...... Otherwise, where would someone come to invite, they would have come to the door directly. ”

Jiang Ming only thought about it for a moment, then got up and walked out with the comer.

The person who came was a young man in his twenties and thirties, and said with a groveling smile: "Brother Ming, don't think too much, it is a great thing for Steward Dong to invite you, and the brothers will ask you to take care of it in the future......

Jiang Ming glanced at him, this person is also a familiar face in the town, named Wu Yi, who used to be low-key and honest and inconspicuous, but now he has also hugged the new thigh of Ping'an Town.

But he didn't say much, a generation of new people in the rivers and lakes replaced the old, everyone has their own way of living, and he doesn't like to point out others...... It's a big deal to wait for the eyes to be unpleasant, just touch the door and slash it.

Wu Yi, who didn't get a response, suddenly touched his nose, and could only muttered in his heart that he was worthy of being a great evildoer......

Soon, the two walked to the tavern of the old ginger head.

There were few guests in the tavern, and a burly middle-aged man was sitting quietly at the wine table.

Seeing Jiang Ming coming, the burly man got up with a smile: "I have heard the name of Jiang Da Villain for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be a young man...... Have a seat. ”

"Thank you Dong Ye for your love!" Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and sat down.

At this time, he was a villain in Jiangda, so he naturally wanted to put on a posture, and immediately poured a large sip of wine, and Hang Erlang said: "I don't know why Dong Ye invited me to the tavern?" If it's drinking, then I'll be with you to the end. ”

Seeing Jiang Ming's posture, a trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in his eyes, and he sat down slowly, with a smile on his face: "Of course it's okay to drink, but I came today and there is one more important thing...... Invite Brother Jiang to join my Old Snake Gang. ”

"Sure enough......" Jiang Ming was stunned, but he had expected it in his heart.

The old scar and the gang were cut clean by him, this new steward of Dong took office, and he was directly a bare-bones commander, and he must find a follower in the town, and the villains of Erjiang are naturally considered "excellent talents", how can they miss it.

However, Jiang Ming naturally couldn't agree, so he waved his hand vigorously and said: "Dong Ye is joking, I'm the most annoying to gang up, and I have a big head when there are many people...... A person picks medicine for wine, saves enough money to go to Qinghe Tower to see Miss Xue'er, that is the joy of life! ”

Steward Dong wanted to say something, but Jiang Ming shook his head repeatedly: "Dong Ye Mo said, I really can't do this kind of thing." ”

"Alas, since Brother Jiang is so resolute, that's it...... I can only count the loss of a general in my old snake gang. Steward Dong showed regret on his face: "Then I will drink, I have all the wine of Brother Jiang today......

"Refreshing!" Jiang Ming laughed and immediately drank it......

After drinking for a while, Steward Dong left under the pretext of leaving for an excuse, Jiang Ming's face was flushed, as if he didn't know, and he continued to eat and drink until he fell headlong on the table, and the old Jiang Tou hurriedly called Ah Fei to carry him home......

"Dong Ye, that Jiang Ming...... In the end, I was drunk and sent home! Late at night, in a room, Wu Yi, who took Jiang Ming to the tavern, was reporting to Steward Dong.

Steward Dong closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened his eyes: "Leave him alone......

After Wu Yi left, Steward Dong took out a booklet from under the table and opened it, which was densely packed with people's names, and they were all townspeople of Ping'an Town, and many of them had been crossed out.

"A little prickly man who doesn't like restraint, is an alcoholic, and has poor self-control...... It can't be him. Steward Dong muttered to himself, and finally crossed Jiang Ming's name.

……

Late at night, Jiang Ming was lying on the bed, his eyes were extremely clear, and he still looked drunk.

"The acting should be okay...... This matter should be over for the time being. Jiang Ming muttered to himself.

In fact, he knew that his acting skills were not very good, but no one would believe that a teenage village boy would be a martial artist, so Steward Dong probably was also a routine temptation, and he didn't really pay attention to him......

"However, that steward is not like an ordinary person." Jiang Ming's heart moved slightly, the other party's every move was undisguised and extraordinary, and he was definitely a person who had practiced martial arts.

Even, it is possible to be a warrior......

"It seems that this small Ping'an Town really has some doorways, but I'm about to leave, and everything has nothing to do with me......"

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Every household is lively, the smoke is curling, the smell of food is everywhere, and even the hardest working men return to the town on this day to reunite with their families.

Jiang Ming originally planned to celebrate the New Year alone, but Lao Zhoutou sent his granddaughter to call him, so he brought wine and meat and came to Lao Zhoutou's house.

"Hey, it's all coming!"

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, only to see that Old Jiang Tou and Ah Fei and his wife were all there, Ah Fei was busy cleaning the yard, and his daughter-in-law was in charge of cooking.

As for the old ginger head, he sat in front of Lao Zhoutou's bed, and the two old men didn't know what they were talking about, and let out lewd laughter from time to time......

"Master Jiang, if you let my grandfather drink again, I'll go and smash your tavern!" As soon as Zhou Wenxiu came back, he saw the old ginger head take out a wine gourd, and immediately shouted.

"I didn't drink, I didn't drink, hehe......" The old ginger head was like a child who did something wrong, and hurriedly hid the gourd.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily outside the house.

A group of people huddled in a small room and made up a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"I hope everyone can live in the new year...... "Old Jiang Tou raised the wine bowl and said seriously.
