0029 [Schadenfreude]
Looking at the rotten life kun and the others leaving, Du Yongxiao couldn't understand how his rotten gambling old bean could have something to do with the famous Hong Yihai, and it seemed that Hong Yihai still regarded him as a benefactor.
Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it again.
Du Yongxiao got back into the car and said to Fighting Qiang: "I'm tired of you, Brother Qiang, go to the new department store first!" I'm going to buy something! ”
The new department store is located in the business district of Mong Kok, and is the most famous department store in Hong Kong at the moment, owned by real estate tycoon Lee Chiu-kei. In order to make a name for himself, Lee Chiu-kee even invited Shaw Brothers star Xiao Fangfang to advertise for the department store, and all Hong Kong people know: "If you want to buy a satisfactory one, go to the new department store!" ”
Fighting was so anxious that he couldn't wait to get Du Yongxiao out of the car, and then drove to the repair shop to touch up the paint.
But Yan Xiong explained that he couldn't help but do it, Du Yongxiao's treachery he had learned, in case this street hit the street in front of Yan Xiong to make a small report, he would have to eat and walk around.
The car is back on the road.
Du Yongxiao and Fighting are not on the same channel, and they have nothing to say.
Not far in front is the new department store----
The towering high-rise buildings are in stark contrast to the dilapidated wooden houses in Shek Kip Mei.
Fashionable men and women form two dimensions with the poor people in Shek Kip Wei, as if they do not live in the same place.
This is Hong Kong.
……
Shek Kip Mei Street----
The vendors are like hair, and the flow of people is like a tide.
At the stall, Ah Shuibo, who sells sugar cane, said to his wife "combing woman": "Wife, I am so shrewd. Yesterday, I was almost hit by that beautiful boy, and if our Ali marries him, she will definitely suffer. ”
"Boss, come on a sugar cane!"
"Okay!"
Ah Shuibo hurriedly handed the cut sugarcane to the other party, collected the money, and handed the three mosquito money to his wife "combing woman".
The comb lady took the money, jingled, and threw it directly into the money box at her feet, and continued to make hair for the female customer.
Ah Shuibo glanced at the sugar cane money and swallowed a mouthful of water.
In the early days of Hong Kong, barber shops basically did not accept female customers, and often posted the words "female customers will not be entertained" at the gate. As a result, there will be hairdressing stalls in the streets and alleys that serve women.
The people who preside over the combing stalls are generally called "combing women", and many of them are retired or changed jobs. Once they have mastered this beauty craft, they can make a living on the streets, mainly combing the hair of female customers.
They need to be able to wear traditional old buns, as well as fashionable buns such as horizontal S, straight S or double S, which are modeled after foreign women, in order to cope with all kinds of customers of different ages and habits.
In addition to combing the hair of customers, another craft is to pull noodles for customers.
The so-called strangulation is to remove the hair on the face of the beautiful female customer, and modify the short hair on the eyebrows, forehead, sideburns, neck and tail. But the use of knives and scissors and other sharp tools, just a tougher long money, first bite one end with the mouth, and then use both hands to make the long line into a scissor-shaped cross, pull on the face to wring off the sweat hair short hair, so the noodles are also called "tattooed noodles", or "pull noodles". In the past, there was also a "Face Saving Case" in Chaozhou dramas.
Ah Shuibo's wife, Ali's mother is a famous "combing woman" of the Shi Kip Wei generation, with good craftsmanship and fine skills. It's a pity that beauty salons are rising in this era, and many ladies basically go to beauty salons to make faces, and the business of combing women is getting worse and worse, and only in this stone kip tail can still make a living, the main reason is that the price is low and suitable for the poor to consume.
At this moment, her daughter Ali was handing tools to her, and while helping the old customers comb their hair, she listened to Ah Shuibo's invitation, and said: "According to your meaning, the beautiful boy is finished this time?" ”
"Of course, he borrowed a loan shark, and he offended Detective Yan Xiong, and he will shed his skin if he doesn't die!" Ah Shuibo foamed and splashed, "I didn't say this, you ask the snake boy to know them, and they also know about it!" ”
Ali still has some affection for Du Yongxiao, and she can't bear to hear that Du Yongxiao has an accident.
"Yes, comb, I can testify!" Not far away, the snake boy who was squatting at the fine rong stall to eat said with a bowl, "Yesterday we all saw people with expensive gold teeth coming to ask for accounts!" Those people are fierce! ”
The three people next to him immediately echoed, "Not only is it very fierce, but it is also very domineering, that beautiful boy is almost scared to pee!" ”
Others are even more gloating.
The most important thing for the poor is not that the rich are rich and rich, but that the poor like themselves suddenly become prosperous.
In their opinion, the Du family has Du Yongxiao, an outlier, who wants to ascend to heaven by being a plainclothes chicken dog, but there is no door.
"Did you hear that?" Ah Shuibo proudly said to the combing woman, "That beautiful boy is filial piety and saved!" I've found a better home for our family, Ali! ”
After Ah Shuibo finished speaking, he looked at his daughter: "Ali, you have something to say, when the boss of the pastry shop Li Mazi Li comes over, you must entertain well!" ”
As soon as Ali was about to speak, she saw two rickshaws stop in front and back, and it was Li Mazi, the owner of the pastry shop, who got off the first car.
Li Mazi is as his name suggests, with pockmarked faces, pitted holes, like orange peels.
He was in his forties, thin as a hemp pole, wearing a silk gown, and when he got out of the car, he first took out his snuffbox and wiped his nose, and then he proudly beckoned the coachman to remove the gifts from the second car.
Look at those gifts, silk and satin, American ginseng, flower water, and flower carving wine, etc., all of which are only available in Guangfa Foreign Company.
In this era, most of the poor people like to buy things at Guangfa Foreign Bank, not to mention the good quality and low price, and occasionally give rice and soy sauce.
Seeing the gift, Ah Shuibo's eyes immediately lit up, and even the comb woman who was combing the female guest's hair couldn't help but take a second look.
Ali was originally a little disgusted with Li Mazi's appearance, but when she saw the gift, the disgust disappeared a lot.
Her eyes were fixed on the bottle of toilet water, remembering that not long ago, Alain's boyfriend gave her a bottle for three days to show off.
This bottle looks bigger and more beautiful than her one, and must be expensive.
"These gifts are too expensive! I can't take it! Ah Shuibo hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Mazi, saying that he couldn't take it, but his hands had already taken the silk and satin.
"Small!" Li Mazi raised his chin and looked arrogant, "As long as Ali likes it, I am willing to give more." After speaking, the fan looked at Ali.
Snake Ziming and the others didn't care about eating, so they ran over and stammered: "Boss Li, are you so majestic, I heard that you are going to buy a car recently?" ”
"Yes, there is such a thing!" Li Mazi said proudly, "When the time comes, you can take Ali to play." ”
"Wow, it's so cool to have a private car to sit on!"
"Yes, Ali is so blessed!"
Ah Li listened to these words, and then looked at Li Mazi's ugly face, and suddenly felt that it was not too ugly. Immediately, Du Yongxiao's appearance appeared in his mind, and he said: "What's the use of being handsome?" You don't even have to sit in a car! ”
That's when ----
Toot toot!
A car whistle blared.
I saw a luxury Ford sedan driving by.
Snake Boy Ming and the others widened their eyes.
Ah Shuibo also looked straight.
Even Li Mazi looked at it enviously.
After all, in a poor place like Shek Kip Mei, not to mention luxury cars, you can't even see a few car butts.
Ali looked at the slowly stopping luxury car, guessed who would get off it, and then -----
A familiar figure descended from the car.
Dressed in white.
Yushu is in the wind.
The snake boy's eyes are about to pop out!
Ah Shuibo's jaw is going to drop!
Ali was even more dumbfounded!
Only Li Mazi muttered enviously: "This is the side?" What a beautiful boy! ”
