Nanshanxia

When Zhu Yan and the others were setting up the stall, Zhu Yan finally took a closer look at the strange man next to the young man. The man had a square face, big eyes, dark skin, and was about the same size as himself. Now he was standing there looking at them motionless. .

"Look at me coming early today, I just want to bring Lian Hai to eat this first bite of bean curd." Seeing that Zhu Yan and the others were setting up a stall, the young man rushed forward to talk to Zhu Yan and the others, and He did not forget to pull the man next to him and introduced to Zhu Yan, "He is my good brother named Qi Lianhai, and I called him to eat your bean curd together."

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yan looked up at the man named Qi Lianhai, and instead of nodding, "Brother is a stranger, I'm afraid it's the first time to eat my bean curd."

"It's the first time I've eaten bean curd, but I've seen you guys before." Qi Lianhai glanced at Zhu Yan, then at Yuan Xiao who was helping to sell soy milk, and said more firmly, "It rained a few days ago, you and Your husband should have been to the town, right?"

Zhu Yan was busy with the work in his hands, and kept thinking about what happened in the past few days. If he remembered correctly, the day Qi Lianhai referred to should be the day when he brought Yuan Xiao who was infected with the wind and cold. The day he came to the town to see a doctor, because there was no rainy day except that day, but he had no memory of meeting Qi Lianhai that day, while he was dressing up the bean curd, he couldn't help wondering, "My husband and I did come here In the town, and bought a lot of food, but it seems that I haven't met you."

"You haven't met me, but it doesn't mean I haven't met you." Qi Lianhai broke his initial silence, and explained with a grin, "You and your husband bought two catties of dried shrimp, right? When I was negotiating with the vendors, I found out about you. I have to say that you two are also bad enough. The dried shrimps that cost five cents a catty were negotiated by the two of you for five cents and two catties. Of course, I also took the opportunity Buy some."

Under Qi Lianhai's explanation, Zhu Yan suddenly realized. At the same time, he also felt that this man named Qi Lianhai was very interesting. It would be okay if he could make friends. The bowl of bean curd was handed to Qi Lianhai and the young man beside him who had already drank soy milk, "The bean curd has just come out of the pot, and it's the best time to eat it. Eat it while it's hot."

"Okay." The young man grinned, took the bean curd that Zhu Yan handed over, put it to his mouth and smelled it, and then handed the bean curd to Qi Lianhai beside him, "Lian Hai, I'll give you this bowl first , you haven't tasted it yet, let you taste it first, I'll eat the second bowl."

Qi Lianhai took the bean curd handed over by the young man, with a smile on his face, he picked up the spoon, scooped up a mouthful of bean curd, swallowed it, and immediately nodded to the young man beside him after he swallowed the first mouthful of bean curd. Nodding, he admired the bean curd in the bowl to Zhu Yan again, "It is said that the food picked by Zhao Fu is the best in our town, and it is true, it is a pity that your family's bean curd does not open a store in the town."

"To tell the truth, Brother Lianhai, I have this intention, but now I am working hard to earn money to open a shop, and future fame." Zhu Yan gave another bowl of bean curd to the young man beside Qi Lianhai.

Qi Lianhai agreed with Zhu Yan's words, "Well, take your time, I believe your business will be successful."

"Okay! Let me borrow a good word from my brother." Zhu Yan smiled sincerely.

Qi Lianhai finished eating the bean curd standing in the same place, looked at the cloth cover beside Zhu Yan, put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Zhu Yan and suggested, "Since you call me brother and know my name, let's Shouldn't it be a little bit more courteous?"

After being reminded by Qi Lianhai, Zhu Yan suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot such an important matter. My name is Zhu Yan, and my husband's name is Yuan Xiao. Those are my family members. We are all from Jinsha Village. people."

"My name is Lu Zhaofu. I grew up with Lian Hai. We both grew up in the town." Lu Zhaofu saw the two people chatting passionately in front of him, and couldn't hold back before Qi Lianhai could speak. , "I went out with my mother some time ago and ate a lot of delicious food. Now that I ate your food, I found that the food I ate before was not delicious. Your tofu curd is the best. I like it the most. Your family!"

"I don't need you to tell me, I know that you can drink up all my tofu curds, what do you call it liking?" Yuan Xiao also followed suit, and by the way, served Lu Zhaofu another bowl of bean curds, encouraging Lu Zhaofu and himself Let's talk elsewhere.

Zhu Yan greeted Qi Lianhai while taking care of the booth, and didn't care about the gangsters who came from other places.

"Where's your boss?" Among the gangsters, a slightly fatter middle-aged man stepped forward first, glanced at the old lady Zhu and then continued to stare at the booth in front of him, "You may not know, there is a stall here. No one cares about you if you set up a stall for a day or two, but if you set up a stall here for a long time, you will have to pay protection fees!"

"What? What are you talking about? Excuse me, old lady, let me ask, when was this stipulated?" Long before setting up the stall, the old lady Zhu knew that no rent was charged for setting up a stall in the town. A few hooligans were clearly bullying her. The country people didn't understand the rules. Thinking of this, she stared at her eyes and wanted to continue to ask questions. Anyway, she is an old lady who is fearless. If these people move her, she will Lie down on the ground and ask her daughter-in-law to report to the police.

At the same time, Zhu Yan, who had just finished talking with Qi Lianhai, noticed what was going on next to him, hurried forward, and guarded Yuan Xiao, who was about to step forward to argue with others, behind him. Xiaorou said without a smile, "Brothers, I am the owner of this stall. If you have anything to say, you can just talk to me, and you don't need to discuss it with my grandma or other relatives."

Seeing Zhu Yan's figure, the fat man was still a little apprehensive, especially the sneer on Zhu Yan's face. No one dared to say anything else, but when he thought of the brothers behind him, he immediately gained confidence , at this stall, except for the strong man in front of him, the rest are either young brothers or women. As the saying goes, one tiger is no match for many dogs. Thinking of this, he regained his previous momentum, "We brothers can also see that, Your small stall has made a lot of money in the past few days, and you have paid protection fees to keep your family safe."

"Then dare to ask, is this protection fee countable in the government? If it counts, I will definitely pay it on time every day." Zhu Yan still had a smile on his face, and his eyes were firm. This time he lowered his head, Then in the future, cats and dogs will come to him to ask for protection money, this head must not be opened!

The fat man was taken aback by Zhu Yan's words. He never expected that Zhu Yan would use the government to suppress him, but he knew that the government rarely cared about such matters, so he still spoke with confidence , "Hey, I advise you not to be stupid, how can the government have time to take care of your trivial matters, listen to me and hand over the protection fee obediently, ten cents a day, it should not be expensive for your current business Bar?"

"That's right, pay the money quickly, or our boss will smash your booth and drive away all your diners." A younger brother behind the fat man couldn't hold back anymore, and directly acted prestige from behind.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan just smiled, and wanted to take the little guy first, but Qi Lianhai squeezed out from the crowd, and he cursed harshly at the fat man who was looking at Zhu Yan, "Good job! Fatty Liu, do you and your cousins ​​want to go to prison again? If you want to, just come to me, who told you to sneak around my brother?"

"Qi, Qi Lianhai, why are you here?" After Qi Lianhai appeared, Fatty Liu lost his previous aura. He and his younger brothers were now as languid as a mouse after seeing a cat. He took a few steps back, Immediately changed his face and said, "It turns out that this little brother has friendship with Brother Lianhai. That's really a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding."

"No misunderstanding, Fatty Liu, please remember, if I see you embarrassing my brother and family again, I will definitely put you in a dark prison and let you spend a decade or so." Qi Lianhai said The words were sonorous and forceful, and Fatty Liu and the others were not taken seriously at all.

Fatty Liu was also quite treacherous. Seeing Qi Lianhai's cold face, he hastily brought his brother to apologize to Zhu Yan, "Little brother, I was wrong this time, don't worry about what happened today."

After Fatty Liu finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhu Yan would say something nasty, so he immediately left the old Zhu's stall with a few brothers.

Seeing that the troublemaker had left, Qi Lianhai stepped forward and said to Zhu Yan, "Then Fatty Liu is a bullying master. If I hadn't asked for leave today, I would have taken him into the yamen and cleaned him up."

Combining what happened just now and what Qi Lianhai said now, Zhu Yan had already guessed Qi Lianhai's identity, but he still asked, "Brother Lianhai works in the county government?"

"Well, if you encounter any problems in the future, come to the county government to find me." Qi Lianhai made no secret of his identity.

Zhu Yan was even more moved when he heard that, he bowed his hands again and again to express his gratitude, "Thanks to Brother Lianhai today, if there is someone who can use me Zhu Yan in the future, I will do my best to help."

"This is the identity. I chatted with you very well. Besides, Zhaofu likes to eat your food. I don't want you to quit this business. Zhaofu will definitely feel very uncomfortable." After Qi Lianhai finished speaking, Then he looked at Lu Zhaofu, who was chatting happily with Yuan Xiao, with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yan saw all this in his eyes and held back his smile. He was so familiar with this look. Yuan Xiao stared at him like this back then.

During the period, Zhu Yan took the old lady Zhu and his family to thank Qi Lianhai, but Qi Lianhai couldn't stand it for a while, and left directly with Lu Zhaofu.

At this time, it was noon, and the bean curds made at home were sold out, so Zhu Yan took Yuan Xiao and his family back home. As soon as he arrived home, Mr. Zhu also arrived home. Mrs. Zhu began to talk to Mr. Zhu. They recalled what happened to them this morning.

The old lady Zhu had already had an eloquent mouth, and she said this for more than half an hour. After she finished speaking, she realized that there was no one in the family. She couldn't help asking, "Where's the boss?"

"He went to Lao Zhao's house for dinner. As soon as we returned to the village, the villagers called the boss away, saying that he would teach them how to farm." After drinking the well water, the old man regained his energy, and then said , "If you say you know how to farm, the boss of our family is not as good as Ah Yan. Wouldn't it be a scam to ask him to teach others?"

Ever since Boss Zhu finished blowing his own bean field in the village that day, people in the village have started to curry favor with him, asking him to teach him how to plant the land, and even folks who are good at doing things, come to Old Zhu’s house with some food from time to time. , or invite the boss to have a meal like now.

"We don't care what to do with that matter, that's what they want. Besides, who let the boss brag about others, it's time for him to suffer." Zhu the old lady smiled heartily.

At this time, Zhu Tiedan opened his mouth, "I just heard from Yuzhu that my father entered Lao Zhao's house on the front foot, and Zhu's second son followed him with Li Lanhua on the back foot."
