Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu stared at him coldly, thinking in his mind that this matter was not completely out of the question.

Since such a gang exists, even if Huang Ruo can be rescued this time, there will definitely be another "Huang Ruo". Almost all Chinese and Red Chinese who come to Japan cannot escape. If I join this organization, I can find out the details while looking for Huang Ruo, and then solve the problem from the root, which seems to be a good way.

"Brother, we really hope we can fight side by side with you." Seeing his cold expression, the curly-haired young man couldn't help but get nervous. He forced a smile and said, "We are all family. We have the same blood. We have experienced all kinds of hardships when we were out there. Foreigners also looked down on us and suppressed us everywhere. Even if we finally achieved something, it was taken away by those foreigners in the end."

He spoke passionately, and his tone was full of sincerity when he talked about "a single spark can start a prairie fire" and "we all need to work together." "The Shanhai Gang is such a warm family. Our goal is to protect the interests of every Chinese friend from being infringed. Unfortunately, it is because this sense of responsibility and justice offends many local forces that we are slandered and even called a scourge..."

Unite against the outside world?

Humph, I'm afraid you want to drag everyone down with you!

He Yuzhu showed a hint of sneer and interrupted rudely: "I am not interested in you and I don't want to join any group. Please don't bother me and leave!"

Hearing this, the other party was obviously relaxed a little, but was unwilling to give up. He continued to persuade: "Brother, please think twice. Maybe you think protecting compatriots is meaningless, but what about money? You are always interested in a rich life, right? Who doesn't come here to make a good future?"

"Although this city is prosperous, the competition is fierce. Even locals find it difficult to gain a foothold. Just look at the slums. But if you join our gang, it will be different! In addition to protecting the interests of the Chinese, there are many ways to make money waiting for you. Brother Yi

If you have the ability, as long as you are willing to join us, I guarantee you can buy a house within a year!"

He Yuzhu pretended to be convinced, but still asked half-doubtfully: "Can you believe what you said?"

Then he added in a cold and threatening tone: "If you dare to lie to me, you know what will happen to you."

The young man patted his chest and assured, "How could I lie to you? Every word I said was true. With your kung fu, you definitely earn more than ordinary people. Besides, there was no conflict between us. It's such an honor to meet you today. I hope you can do me the honor of treating me to a meal tonight as an apology."

It was just a meal. Whether they were real or fake or what their intentions were, it was not a big problem for He Yuzhu. Thinking that he might be able to get more information about the Shanhai Gang through this opportunity, he agreed.

Then they left the hotel together.

The young man named Liu Bo was still very enthusiastic: "By the way, buddy, you haven't introduced yourself yet, right? My name is Liu Bo, what should I call you..."

"Oh, just call me Wang Xuan." He Yuzhu made up a name casually.

"Wang, Xuan... so domineering! Just listening to him makes people respect him..."

As for whether this guy was sincere in his invitation, He Yuzhu had no idea for the time being, but he was sure of one thing: this guy was indeed very artistic in his speech.

The place to eat was not chosen in the slums.

They walked across a bridge and left the slum. They got into a taxi and drove for more than ten minutes before arriving at a restaurant.

This is a place decorated in Japanese style, but they sell Chinese food.

They sat down in the small box.

He Yuzhu now understood that Liu Bo seemed to have forgotten the beating he had suffered before, and was not up to any tricks. He really came here to have a good meal, and it seemed that he really wanted He Yuzhu to join their organization, the Shanhai Gang.

He Yuzhu felt a little regretful. He had originally thought that there would be dozens of people lying in ambush so that he could stretch his muscles.

Alas, what a false joy.

When Liu Bo came back after ordering the dishes,

He Yuzhu asked: "Are you the only three people in the Shanhai Gang in this slum area?"

"of course not."

Liu Bo explained: "Actually, there are quite a lot of members. I'm not sure exactly how many there are. The three of us are just a small team."

The Nanchuan slum where they live is managed by a section of the Shanhai Gang called the "Nanzi Group".

Each team member can recruit new members on their own.

The two people who came with Liu Bo were a muscular man named Daniu with a fierce face; the other was a slightly thin and timid man named Liu He. Both of them were recruited by Liu Bo.

There are probably a dozen or so such teams in Nanchuan. Each team needs to have at least three people, and some teams can even expand to more than a dozen or twenty members.

The operating model of the Shanhai Gang draws on the way Hong Kong underworld recruits younger brothers and some structural characteristics of Japanese gangs.

Thinking of this,

He Yuzhu looked directly at Liu Bo and asked, "Are you already an official member of the Shanhai Gang?"

"Um..."

Liu Bo seemed a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not formal yet. Here, the standard for becoming a formal member is quite high. Just like in Japan, many formal groups set extremely high thresholds for those who want to join."

"Take the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest local gang, for example. If you want to become a member of it, you have to sacrifice a finger as a pledge."

"So among the people with missing fingers you meet in Japan, about seven or eight out of ten are core members of the Yamaguchi-gumi. But if you want to join a peripheral gang, the process will be much simpler. You just need to get a tattoo. You should know that before World War II, tattoos were illegal in Japan, and only criminals would do that."

"However, after the war, the ban was lifted because the Americans who occupied this area loved tattoo art. Despite this, people still keep their distance from people with tattoos in daily social life. For Japanese people, once they have tattoos on their bodies, it is difficult for them to integrate into the normal work and living environment. Therefore, when someone chooses to get a tattoo on his body, it often means that he has decided to join the underworld."

"As for our Shanhai Gang, we don't have these harsh regulations, but it is much more difficult to reach the core level. This is because the treatment we provide to core members is very generous. The dividends distributed every year are enough for people to buy several properties in the Edo city area."

"On the other hand, in some other groups, such as the Korean Bangzi, anyone who is willing to join can immediately become a so-called 'official' member, but in fact, the benefits they enjoy are not as good as those of the outermost members of our gang. What's worse is that some Chinese people deliberately join the Korean Gang just to oppose us!"

"This is simply forgetting one's ancestors, being disloyal, being a traitor, betraying our people!"

Liu Bo became more and more excited as he spoke, and looked like he was burning with anger.

If you don't join, are you going to be attacked by them?!

He Yuzhu glared at him coldly, without expressing his opinion, and asked, "Are there many associations established by foreigners in Japan?"

"Indeed, there are quite a few. The most influential ones are our Shanhai Gang, the Gaoli Gang, the Saigon Gang..."

Liu Bo took a breath and explained, "Among them, the Gaoli Gang is the most powerful and the most arrogant, and they often clash with local Japanese gangs. In terms of single combat or overall strength, the Gaoli Gang cannot compare to our Shanhai Gang."

"The Goryeo Gang mainly relied on their large numbers. During World War II, Goryeo was occupied by the Japanese, and many Goryeo families came to Japan as laborers. After the war, these Goryeo people stayed in Japan. Due to the hatred of their homes being occupied, coupled with the long period of oppression and enslavement, they immediately exploded when they learned of Japan's defeat."

"At that time, the Koreans were extremely violent. They didn't pay for things they bought. If they saw a Japanese person they didn't like, they would beat him up in a group. They even killed people without blinking an eye. They robbed, set fires, and extorted people. They did all kinds of bad things."

"This group of people is totally inhumane and lawless. No punishment is too much..."

Look at Liu Bo’s gnashing teeth expression.

He Yuzhu knew it well. He kept saying that he was a descendant of Yan and Huang, but in fact, he was half Japanese in his bones.

"Fortunately, there were American troops stationed in Japan at that time."

Liu Bo said cheerfully: "Those Koreans were suppressed by the US military several times and many people were killed before they gradually became obedient. Even so, these Koreans are still annoying. They have seized a lot of land and houses, and they always instigate our Shanhai Gang. What's even more infuriating is that many Chinese have joined the Korean Gang and become corrupt."

"Many things that defame our Shanhai Gang are done by these people. Saying that we bully the red people is slander. The saddest thing for a nation is to have a group of people who look the same but are different inside."

"I really want to get rid of all these weak-kneed people!..."

Liu Bo had a ferocious look on his face.

He Yuzhu was speechless.

Such people!

There is no choice but to raise the dust.
