Originally, restaurants and teahouses were the two lines that divided the line.

The restaurant does not sell refreshments, the tea house does not operate the evening market, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

It wasn't until the 18th century that this rule was broken, and night tea appeared, and tea houses began to open at night, serving tea and snacks.

On the brown glass round table coffee table, a few snacks are almost full.

Quicksand buns, partridge eggs and roasted wheat, thousand silk rolls, four baoza, egg scatters.

The color is rich and the fragrance is tangy.

Hua Man's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Ang Lee:

"I have an appetite when I look at it, but I can't finish eating so much."

Li An handed over a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'll keep my stomach, together?"

"Okay!"

Hua Man smiled when she heard this, and her eyes curved into a crescent moon.

Put down the ledger in his hand, take the chopsticks, and put a piece of siu mai into his mouth.

After getting along for the past few days, what surprised her was that the little man in front of her was unexpectedly considerate and gentle.

It doesn't seem to be at all in line with the youthfulness of a man of the age of twenty.

Let her, a woman who is five years older than the other party, experience the fantasy of being a little woman.

"What, I have flowers on my face?"

Seeing Hua Man's eyes staring at him, Li Ang joked with a smile.

I took a quicksand bag and took a bite, and the golden quicksand filling was wrapped in the fragrance of wheat and took a bite into my mouth, which was full of sweetness.

"Oh, no."

Hua Man came back to his senses, and a flush flashed across his face.

After chewing and swallowing the roasted wheat in her mouth, she spoke again:

"I saw that you didn't finish talking before, and the store was about to close, so I went to your store to help take stock of the accounts."

"How's the turnover today?"

After asking vaguely, Li Ansan stuffed the remaining quicksand bag into his mouth in two bites.

Hua Man pursed her lips and said with interest:

"Six thousand two hundred and eighteen yuan, an increase of nearly 1,500 yuan from yesterday's turnover."

"Now only the residents of a few streets near Longjin Road know that a new store has opened, and it is very good that the turnover can maintain this growth rate."

Li An nodded, quite satisfied.

Of course, compared to the nearly 30,000 people in the walled city, this turnover is far from the requirement.

But considering the opening of the new store, many neighbors in the city do not know about it, but it is acceptable.

At this age of prices, as long as the turnover can increase steadily and maintain a daily income of more than 15,600, it means that the store is on the right track.

Based on 20% of the overall gross profit of retail, a gross profit of 156,000 yuan per day is almost a gross profit of more than 3,000 yuan.

Relatively speaking, the profit is still very considerable.

Hua Man thought for a while:

"It's a bit slow to rely on word of mouth from the neighbors, so you can go and put up a flyer or something."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've asked the clerks to put up flyers all over the city during the day, and I think there will be a wave of customer traffic from tomorrow."

The two chatted while eating.

From Hua Man's inquiries from time to time, Ang Lee could sense that she seemed to be very interested in this.

Until he finished eating snacks, Hua Man cleaned up the coffee table and sat next to Ang Lee.

"By the way, are you ready to leave the walled city?"

Li An nodded and said truthfully:

"The things that should be done in the city this time have been done, and there will be boxers and tooth guys in the welfare, as well as the people I left behind, there will be no problems.

After staying for nearly half a month, I should also go and see the business on the dock. ”

This trip to the walled city, Ang Lee can be said to have gained a lot.

Not only did he successfully get the grappling, wrestling, and the iron cloth shirt that he had been thinking about.

It was an unexpected windfall.

Fat Tsaichao, Camel Ding, the two fortune boys, raised their hands to give Ang Lee 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.

There are also 600,000 of Kewanchang. (100,000 for gambling houses, 500,000 for pink bricks.) ）

HK$430,000 from the Fung brothers, and HK$400,000 from Fu Shou Jin.

That's nearly two million.

Excluding the HK$330,000 spent on upgrading skills and the HK$120,000 spent on supermarkets, Ang Lee has more than HK$1.5 million in cash left.

No one is rich without a windfall.

This money allowed Li Ang to save at least nearly two years of capital accumulation.

Not to mention, the security team of the Welfare Association can also help him raise a lot of people in the walled city.

Hua Man tilted his head and leaned on Ang Li's arm, and asked softly:

"When are you leaving?"

"Just these two days."

Hearing this, Hua Man's good-looking eyes darkened, and she seemed to be a little reluctant.

Li An saw Hua Man's expression in his eyes, and said in a mocking tone:

"You don't think I won't come back if I leave the walled city, do you?"

"Where?"

Hua Man avoided Ang Lee's eyes and muttered quietly.

Ang Lee smiled knowingly and stepped forward.

His face was very close to Hua Man, and his eyes were shaky.

"I used to rent a house for someone else, but now I don't have a place to stay.

Besides, the shops in the walled city haven't found anyone to take care of them, so I'll be back in Kowloon City in the evening. ”

"Really?"

Hua Man blinked, and kissed Ang Lee on the face like a dragonfly, with a sweet smile on his face.

"Of course."

Ang Lee snorted and buried his head.

A young man of twenty years old, with strong blood.

Naturally, nephrite is warm and fragrant, and the flowers in the world are colored in the spring!

It responded to the stalk on the Internet in later generations.

The color of the wine makes people haggard.

But haggard or not, Ang Lee doesn't feel anything, but slackness is a real thing.

In the past, Li An got up at about five o'clock every day before dawn to practice boxing.

But these days are tired of being in the dance hall, and Ang Lee didn't get up until seven or eight o'clock, which is obviously slack.

Glancing at the sleeping woman beside him, Ang Lee lifted the thin quilt and tiptoed out of bed.

"Shall I quit drinking too?"

Ang Lee muttered quietly.

Gathering away his divergent thoughts, he walked into the bathroom with a pair of slippers.

After a brief wash, Li An glanced at the woman who was still asleep, and there was a rare warmth between her eyebrows.

Bring the door to the next room.

The room is not big, and it looks like it is only sixteen or seventeen square meters, except for an weapon rack, which is empty.

It used to be the Feng brothers' practice room, because Hua Man also practiced boxing every day, so it was retained and not changed.

With a movement of his shoulders, Ang Lee straightened up.

Take a deep breath, clench your hands into fists, bend your arms into elbows, and step forward with your feet one after the other.

Accompanied by a clear and audible strong wind of fists and feet, Li An's strength was combined, and a set of King Kong eight forces was strong and ferocious.

Immediately followed by a change in the posture under his feet, his feet were broken and buckled, the palm of his left hand was facing inward, the palm of his right hand was facing outward, his knees were closed, his waist was twisted, and the steps of the Baguazhang were like flowing water

After a set of boxing methods, there is no condensation in the movements.

Ang Lee also carefully comprehended the changes in the strength of various boxing techniques.

Today's Ang Lee, with the Baguazhang walking and turning as the core, initially integrates the six major openings of Bajiquan, part of the palm techniques of splitting and hanging boxing, and the wrestling skills of wrestling.

However, if you want to really integrate several boxing techniques on your body, you still have to rely on water grinding.

Maybe it will be helpful to find some good martial artists to compete.

It's just that with Ang Lee's current fighting experience and boxing attainments, on the premise of not using an iron cloth shirt, he can fight him, and the whole Hong Kong may only have a handful.

The strong wind of fists and feet gradually stopped.

Li An exhaled lightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

Turned and walked out of the room and went downstairs.

When he came to the first floor, Li An saw Long Chenghu with his hands in his pockets and his body straight.

"When did you come?"

"Eight o'clock."

Long Chenghu habitually had a cold face and was expressionless.

Li An said as he walked out:

"When you're healed, we'll have a fight."

"I'm no match for you."

Long Chenghu replied very simply.

He saw the vicious fight between Ang Lee and Yang Zhuluan that night, and when he fought against Ang Lee, he might have the same result as against Yang Zhuluan, and he couldn't break Ang Lee's defense.

Ang Lee smiled:

"I don't use iron shirts, we're just going to practice our skills."

Long Chenghu's skills are unquestionable.

Even for martial artists with names and surnames like Shang Ip Man, they may not be far behind.

Playing with the other party can also take a certain role in the integration of their own boxing techniques.

This time, Long Chenghu did not refuse, but thought about it for a while, and nodded in response:

"That's fine."

Li An smiled when he heard this.

The two walked out of the dance hall, he paused and said to Long Chenghu:

"I'm not Ke Wanchang, you don't have to be so serious, just like a bodyguard.

You don't have to follow me specifically, you go get busy first, and I'll explain to you in advance if there's something. ”

"Okay."

Seeing Long Chenghu leave, Li An walked to Longjin Road alone.

Come to Pak & Plums Supermarket on Longjin Road.

As soon as I entered the door, a salesman shouted:

"Boss."

Ang Lee hummed and smiled in return.

At this time, it is the busy time of the supermarket, and there is an endless stream of customers who come into the store to buy seasonal vegetables and meat.

Near noon, wearing beige cropped pants and stepping on a pair of white women's leather shoes, Hua Man, who was plain and elegant, came to the store.

Ang Lee walked over.

"Don't worry about the ballroom?"

"Someone is watching, and there is no need for me, the boss, to stay in the ballroom all day."

After speaking, Hua Man took advantage of the situation to hold Ang Lee's arm.

She pulled Ang Lee out of the store and said with interest:

"Do you have any free afternoons?"

"How?"

The woman tilted her head and replied:

"When you get out of the walled city, who knows if you come back often. We went to eat first, and after eating, we went to Tsim Sha Tsui. ”

Li Anwan smiled:

"Want someone to carry your luggage?"

Hua Man raised his chin: "Of course." ”

"Okay."

"It just so happens that there is a food stall at the gate of the city, and the food tastes good, let's go."

Hua Man took Ang Lee's arm, and the two walked along Longjin Road to the east of the city.

The east gate of the walled city.

As the meal approached, the smoky food stalls were full of people.

Seeing Hua Man and Li An walking in, a young man in a vest greeted him warmly:

"Something to eat?"

Hua Man is familiar with the name of the dish:

"A pan-fried oyster, white-cut chicken, steamed fish, and a pot of tea."

The young man nodded and greeted warmly:

"Wait a minute, you two will find a seat first, there is something on the tea table, and I will add you a pot of hot tea later."

The two of them found an empty table, and before they could pull out the stool and sit down, a crisp voice came from the table next to them.

"Ang Lee."

Li An followed the voice and looked up, and a woman in red and white and coarse cloth was looking at him.

Li An looked at the woman carefully:

"Cordley?"

The two had only met twice, and it was no wonder that Cordelia did not recognize each other at first sight by the simple dress of coarse cloth and the delicate rich daughter of a rich family who wore a flamboyant dress and expensive jewelry when they first met.

At this time, the man with his back to him also turned around.

It was the dragon who became the tiger.

Ang Lee said hello with a smile:

"It's such a coincidence, you guys are also coming to dinner."

Seeing the acquaintance, Long Chenghu glanced at Cordelia and seemed a little embarrassed.

Before he could speak, Cordelia stood up first, and said gratefully:

"Last time, you saved me and the kitten, and helped my dad avenge it, and I haven't said thank you yet."

Between the words, it seems that he doesn't mind Li Ang's killing of Yang Zhuluan at all.

But also, no matter whether Yang Zhuluan is her biological father or not, a person who can even kill his own daughter, no one is sorry to die.

Ang Lee waved his hand:

"You don't have to thank me."

Cordelia didn't say anything more, but invited:

"We haven't eaten yet, and the kitten has ordered a bit too much, why don't we go together?"

Ang Lee took a look, not to mention a little much.

Five or six dishes have already filled most of the Eight Immortals table, and the guy is still serving.

Long Chenghu is so rich, obviously the two have something to talk about.

Li Anke didn't even have this bit of eyesight, and waved his hand to refuse:

"No, we've already ordered the dishes, you can eat them yourself."

Long Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at him.

Li Ang smiled knowingly, pulled out the stool, and sat down with Hua Man.

The guy also came over and refilled the hot tea and put it on the table.

Ang Lee stood up and made two cups of tea.

Hua Man took the teacup, looked at Li An, and asked with interest:

"You said last night that you haven't found anyone to help take care of the supermarket?"

"yes."

Li An took a slow sip of tea and raised his head:

"What good candidates do you have?"

Hua Man's eyes lit up, and he pursed his lips without a trace: "Candidate, don't you have a suitable one in front of you?" ”

Li An said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about the ballroom?"

"My dance hall is taken care of, you see the dance hall on my boundary street, except for the occasional accounting, I hardly have to worry about it.

Anyway, if you have a lot of time, you will be idle if you are idle, so it is better to help you take care of the supermarket. ”

After a pause, Hua Man continued:

"What's more, I'm also interested in supermarket retail."

She could tell that Ang Lee had high expectations for the supermarket under her hands.

From a small childhood, Hua Man has seen human nature very thoroughly.

On a mental level, liking the new and hating the old is almost an instinct.

Whether it's a man or a woman, but there is no doubt that men may be more intense in this regard.

The two sides have been together for a long time, and instead of worrying that Ang Lee will lose his freshness and feel tired, he should take the initiative.

Help Ang Lee take care of business affairs and become Ang Lee's right-hand man.

Li An glanced at Hua Man meaningfully and nodded.

"Okay."

Hua Man had a sweet smile on her face.

"Then it's decided."

As for whether Ang Lee sees through her mind, she doesn't care too much.
