Chapter 118: The Scourge Remains for a Thousand Years
Zhou silkworm took it to a small restaurant to eat.
In fact, it is diagonally opposite the street to the right of the blacksmith shop, only a hundred meters away, located in the most prosperous area of the black market, covering a small area, is an old-fashioned earthen tile bungalow. It may have only been a few days since it opened, and the red firecracker debris on the ground has not been cleaned yet.
It has no decoration on the outside, no name, and even the wooden cedar gate is broken.
But there is an endless stream of diners coming in and out to eat.
Liu Xing was a little curious about this phenomenon, and he didn't know until he walked in.
The chef of this small restaurant is a master of Sichuan cuisine, which can be seen from the dishes on the wooden table.
And the decoration style inside is also very similar to the early 80s, the traditional table of eight immortals, a long bench made of pine, on which are placed enamel cups, enamel bowls, and even on a very few table of eight immortals, you can see boiled fish in enamel basins.
This scene.
It is the most apt portrayal of the common people eating in the seventies and eighties.
It's just ironic.
The diners who were sitting at the half-immortal table to eat, after seeing Zhou Silkworm walking in with Liu Xing and Ding Lan, they didn't even dare to eat the food, but held their breath and watched, and the children playing in the aisle didn't even dare to move in place.
The reason for this, don't think about it, is Ding Lan's white uniform of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Because in the 70s, the law enforcement officers of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were particularly fierce in catching speculation, and some of them were even arrested and shot. The shadow left by this affects people living in the early eighties.
When the short girl who served the food saw this posture, she was even more frightened and didn't know what to do for a while.
It wasn't until Zhou Silkworm shouted to her not to be afraid that she came back to her senses and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead: "Three...... What do you want to eat?"
"Let's have a copy of all the signature dishes here!" Liu Xing looked at the short girl and smiled: "What are you afraid of, we just came to you for a meal." ”
"By the way, he's in for a treat. Liu Xing pointed at Zhou silkworm.
"Oh!oh!" The short girl saw that she had not come to arrest her and the boss, and immediately ran into the kitchen with a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, the diners around were also relieved.
Liu Xing took Ding Lan to sit casually by the window: "You see how bad the reputation of your industrial and commercial bureau is now, and you almost scared people to death when you had a meal." ”
"No. Ding Lan was actually a little helpless.
After all, in the years when she was caught in speculation, she was still studying and did not participate at all.
This blames her for this, what kind of thing is this!
Seeing that Liu Xing didn't ask him to sit down, Zhou Silkworm smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the sturdy Boss Wang was discussing with the short girl what to cook to entertain Ding Lan and Liu Xing.
After all, in their eyes, these two are uncles who can't be provoked.
Of course, the most important thing is that his small restaurant, which has just opened for a short time, has not applied for a self-employed business license, and is not as confident as those state-run restaurants.
"Ahem......" Zhou Silkworm saw this scene, coughed lightly and walked in with a smile.
This sudden move almost scared Boss Wang and the short girl.
"Why are you kid okay, why did you bring the law enforcement officers of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to me for dinner? Don't you think my life is long enough?" Boss Wang couldn't help but ask after he came back to his senses.
The short girl also looked disgusted.
They all do business on the black market and know each other, so they don't need to hide what they say, and they can say whatever comes to mind.
"What you said, I'll introduce business to you, are you still unwilling?" Zhou Silkworm reluctantly gave Boss Wang a roll of his eyes: "I can tell you, this meal is going to be entertained, and if you want to apply for a business license for self-employed people at that time, it is a matter of one sentence." ”
"You mean, there's a show on your self-employed business license?"
Boss Wang asked curiously.
Short girls also came to be interested.
If you have a business license for self-employment, you don't need to do things like this at all.
"Mine is not a play, but I was done by my master in a sentence or two, if nothing else, I will be able to get the self-employed business license of the blacksmith shop in half a month at the latest. Zhou Silkworm replied with a smile, with some happiness in her eyes.
"Really, fake?" Boss Wang was not only surprised, but also envious.
After all, he spent a lot of money last year and didn't get a self-employed business license for a small restaurant, so what kind of person is the master of silkworms this week, and he actually got it in one or two sentences, which is really unexpected.
"Of course it's true, my master is the young man sitting by the window, you hurry up and cook, entertain yourself, and apply for a self-employed business license for a small restaurant in the future, maybe my master can still help!" Zhou Silkworm said teasingly.
"That's okay!" Boss Wang rolled up his sleeves excitedly when he heard this, and started to cook the dishes himself.
The short girl even took out the bacon that had been treasured for a long time and put it on the board for Boss Wang to cut.
Zhou Silkworm saw this scene, smiled and left.
After all, the kitchen is heavy, and it's not good for him to stay for a long time.
Liu Xing was drinking tea with Ding Lan, chatting without a word.
When they talk about happiness, the two can't help but laugh.
Seeing Zhou Silkworm come out, Liu Xing put away his smiling face and handed Zhou Silkworm a small notebook: "I came to the black market this time to buy glass to assemble a shoe cabinet, and the glass size recorded in this book is all deducted by me, if you have time, let the master who sells glass draw glass according to the size." ”
"Remember, don't be in the grip. After a pause, Liu Xing said again.
There is no way, if you don't explain this clearly, then the size of the glass is not right, and the money is spent is a trivial matter, but I am afraid that I will have to waste time to come to the black market.
"Don't worry, Master!" Zhou Lian, who took the notebook, assured.
After all, he is a blacksmith, and he more or less understands the inside story of the glass ruler.
"By the way, you're helping me buy twenty sets of tools for making shoes, the kind you took me to buy before, and I'll give you the money when I come back. Liu Xing picked up the teacup and groaned: "There are also those electric grinding wheels, you can also buy me a few back, forget it if you don't have it." ”
Since there are more people making some in the house, the tools naturally have to keep up.
"Okay! Okay!" Zhou Silkworm was afraid of forgetting, so he quickly took out a pen and wrote it down in a small notebook.
Ding Lan looked at this scene and couldn't help but tease: "Liu Xing, this week's silkworm is a lot older than you, right?
"You don't know this, the more the master calls me, the more I like it in my heart, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask about the technology of making a new iron plough in the future!" Zhou Silkworm replied with a smile without waiting for Liu Xing to speak.
"I love to hear that. Liu Xing reached out and patted Zhou Silkworm's shoulder.
"Alright, stay away from me. Ding Lan couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha......" Liu Xing laughed.
Zhou Silkworm saw that Liu Xing had nothing else to explain, so she smiled and put away the small notebook and left the small restaurant.
Ding Lan watched Zhou Silkworm's figure disappear, and the whole person's expression suddenly became serious: "Liu Xing, sister will tell you something, you have to be prepared in your heart!"
"Say it!" Liu Xing smiled disappreciatively.
In his opinion, what Ding Lan said couldn't scare him even if it was big.
"That's right, I heard Niu Lianfang say that the police car escorting the cattle thief 'Zhu Dachang' broke down on the way three days ago, and Zhu Dachang took this opportunity to injure the police officers guarding it, and he didn't know where to flee. Ding Lan cautiously glanced around, and saw that there were no diners around paying attention to her and Liu Xing, so she whispered what she was about to say.
In fact, Niu Lianfang was supposed to say this to Liu Xing in the past few days, but in the end, the leaders above felt that Niu Lianfang, as a police officer of the city bureau, was a little inappropriate to tell the inside story, so they let Ding Lan do it for him.
After all, Ding Lan is also very familiar with Liu Xing, and he is not a police officer of the city bureau.
Even if you say something wrong, it is not easy to hold you accountable.
But Niu Lianfang is different.
Her identity indirectly determines that there are some things that you can't say to anyone.
"What?"
Liu Xing was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
This Zhu Dachang was caught and could still escape, this ...... It's incredible, isn't it?
"Don't worry, Zhu Dachang is no threat to you. Ding Lan took a shallow sip of tea: "But I heard Niu Lianfang say that during the period of Zhu Dachang's detention, he was shouting every day to kill the cow that humiliated him in the old house village that day. ”
"And this cow is your free-range black calf. Ding Lan sighed lightly: "That is to say, before Zhu Dachang is caught again, you have to be optimistic about your black calf, otherwise with Zhu Dachang's ruthlessness, I really don't dare to imagine what the final outcome of the black calf will be." ”
"Well, I'll have to go back now. Liu Xing was anxious when he heard this, and got up and prepared to walk towards the place where the bicycle was parked.
But Ding Lan pressed down: "Don't be so impatient, okay? In order to arrest Zhu Dachang who escaped, the Wu Bureau has deployed a lot of police forces in Saltpeter Village, and even the old house village has also arranged an internal line, and now it is broad daylight, Zhu Dachang dares to attack the black calf, it is almost hell." ”
"Yes. Liu Xing was stunned and breathed a sigh of relief.
And recently, many people in his family have come to help make shoes.
In such a situation, even if Zhu Dachang was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to kill the black calf during the day.
But at night, that's a little unclear.
"Actually, for your safety, the Wu Bureau has been laying out for a long time, and you should have guessed that Xie Zhong handed over the management of the bazaar to you, that is, the Wu Bureau wanted to let thugs like Zhao Gou and Zhao Liang protect you, otherwise Xie Zhong would not give you the management of the bazaar. Ding Lan saw the short girl coming over with a basin of boiled fish, and quickly shut up and stopped talking.
It wasn't until the short girl put the boiled fish on the table of the Eight Immortals in front of her and left that she continued: "I told you so much today, just to ask you to be more careful, after all, an outlaw like Zhu Dachang, we can't afford to provoke, but we can afford to hide." ”
"Hehe, I thought that Xie Zhong gave me the management of the bazaar because I paid to save Zhao Go's mother!" Liu Xing replied with a wry smile after listening to Ding Lan's words.
"Actually, there are reasons for this. Ding Lan picked up the chopsticks and smiled: "Don't talk about this headache, let's eat boiled fish and talk about some happy topics." ”
"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.
