Chapter 301 Chaotic Xiangdao
"You can order whatever you want to eat. Today's meal is a company treat." Manager Huang said with a smile as he looked at the frightened people sitting on the stools.
"Manager Huang, you better order! We don't know what to eat." Several cautious young people shyly declined.
"How about some steamed buns and a plate of pickles?" A young man from a better-off family suggested in a low voice.
A group of young people were all talking, you said this, I said that, four or five minutes passed, but there was still no discussion.
The crowd's idiotic behavior made the waiting waiter purse his lips and laugh.
"What's this? Forget it, forget it, I'll order some! Do you have any taboos? If you do, please tell me." Manager Huang took the menu and started reporting.
After the waiter finished filling out the menu, Manager Huang asked: "Xiao Chen, thank Master Wang for me, for bothering him so late."
"You're welcome, Mr. Huang, this is what we should do." The waitress covered her mouth with a smile and left holding the menu.
In just half an hour, the two round tables in the private room were fully occupied.
When the waiter brought the food to the table just now, no one dared to say anything for fear of being embarrassed.
After the waiter left, all the young people were startled. However, they did not dare to take off their chopsticks as they looked at the sumptuous meal.
"It's so rich. Is this the legendary penetration and corrosion of capitalism?" A young man smacked his lips and commented.
Li Wen hadn't eaten for most of the day, and now he was very hungry. He didn't care about these people talking about this. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. This is Xiangdao. It's better not to say these words in the future. It's easy to be laughed at." Manager Huang shook his head helplessly after hearing this.
He has been in Xiangdao for seven or eight years, and is already used to this kind of thing, and he doesn't laugh at it.
After Manager Huang finished speaking, he didn't care about the people who continued to nag. He had been busy all day today, and he was hungry now! He buried his head in eating.
Seeing that Manager Huang and Li Wen were eating deliciously, everyone no longer cared about the corruption of capitalism. They all picked up the bowls, chopsticks and food on the table and started fighting.
It was already late at night, most of the dishes in the restaurant had already been sold out, and there were not many dishes left. The best dish on the table was just a braised pork dish.
Just like that, all the young men were devouring their food, and their mouths were full of oil. In less than ten minutes, the two tables of food were completely gone.
"This is life! What we ate before was nothing." A young man wearing a navy blue tunic said with emotion.
"Yes! In the past, all we ate at home were steamed buns made of bran and sweet potato noodles. There was no oil or water a few times a year, and I had to squat for half a day to go to the toilet.
I can't even imagine the meat dishes and white-flour steamed buns today." A young man in somewhat shabby clothes recalled the past.
This young man in shabby clothes is called Ding Xiaochun, a native of Gansu Province. He sat with Li Wen on the road, and he can be considered half a fellow villager.
Qin Province and Gan Province are very close to each other. Li Wen knew the life of the people in Gan Province, which was really hard on the Loess Plateau.
But Ding Xiaochun survived. After graduating from college this year, because of his strong ability, he was transferred to Xiarun, Xiangdao.
"Has everyone finished eating?" Manager Huang asked with a smile as he looked at the chatting crowd.
"Boss, it's time to eat." Everyone said in unison.
The young people who had eaten well were all full of energy and shouted when they spoke, which made Manager Huang's ears hurt.
"Okay, then I'll take you all to have a rest! I'll also take you to apply for ID cards and join the job tomorrow." Manager Huang stood up.
Everyone stayed in hotel rooms that night, with two beds in one room, and Li Wen and Ding Xiaochun shared a room.
"Comrade Li Wen, this room is really luxurious. Not only does it have a separate toilet, but it also has a TV and a telephone. The bed is too soft." Ding Xiaochun, who was alone with two people, seemed like a curious baby, and kept talking.
uttered an exclamation of exclamation.
"Comrade Ding, I went to take a shower. I have to get up early tomorrow." Li Wen didn't laugh at Ding Xiaochun, so he changed into slippers and walked into the bathroom.
"Finally we are back in modern society." After taking a shower, Li Wen looked at the dressing mirror in the bathroom.
After Li Wen took a shower, he gave Ding Xiaochun instructions on how to use the shower head, and then went to sleep directly.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Wen was sleeping soundly when he was disturbed by a burst of gunfire.
Putting on his clothes and coming to the window, Li Wen saw five or six police cars parked at the entrance of a small alley.
Li Wen's night vision was excellent and he could see clearly from a distance of 200 meters. He saw a dozen policemen holding long and short guns fighting fiercely with people using the car wall as a cover.
Unexpectedly, on his first day in Hong Kong, he would encounter a real gunfight in Hong Kong. Li Wen was so sleepy that he wanted to go and eat melon and watch.
"Comrade Li, where is the sound of gunfire?" Ding Xiaochun, who was half asleep at this time, asked.
"There is a gunfight in the alley not far downstairs. You can't see it, but there should be a lot of people listening to the sound." Li Wen said softly.
As soon as Li Wen mentioned the gunfight, Ding Xiaochun immediately jumped out of bed like a carp.
"Let me see, let me see." Ding Xiaochun saw the excitement and was very excited.
“It was so dark that I couldn’t see, everything was turned off, and only the police lights were on in the distance.
This Xiangdao is very chaotic, and there are gangsters everywhere. You are as skinny as a monkey. From now on, you should avoid going to these small alleys and remote places." Li Wen looked into the distance and said calmly.
"It sounds like you've been here before, but this Xiang Island is really outrageous.
If this were in our mainland, it would be terrible if such a gun battle occurred in the city." Ding Xiaochun felt very satisfied listening to the distant banging sound.
"Okay, don't worry about our business, go to sleep!" Li Wen looked at it for a while and felt bored, so he turned around and closed the window.
The next day, a group of young people gathered together to discuss the gun battle last night, and everyone talked enthusiastically.
"Okay, let's not discuss it. This kind of thing happens often in Xiangdao. You will get used to it in the future. Everyone, get in the car and go to the police station to apply for documents!" Manager Huang stopped everyone from continuing and walked to the parking lot first.
.
"Good boy! I haven't taken a close look at the Xiang Island I came to last night. Today, my dear, it's so prosperous. There are high-rise buildings everywhere." A group of young people were sitting in the car, with their heads raised like wild geese.
Yeah, looking at the tall buildings.
Everyone came to the police station and started to register and take photos one by one. These were all guaranteed by Xiarun Company, so it went smoothly.
After registering and taking photos, everyone first received a temporary certificate, and then came back three days later to receive the official ID card.
"Come on, all the losers are not going to school properly and are just imitating others." In the courtyard of the police station, several policemen were reprimanding a dozen teenagers aged 13 or 14.
Li Wen and others stood under the eaves and watched with great interest.
"Look, wait until I get out and ask my boss to take care of you." A young man with a smell on his arm who didn't know whether it was an insect or a snake cursed arrogantly at Li Wen.
"Hey!" Li Wen's anger was instantly shaken by this little brat.
"Si, please come here." Li Wen made a gesture like a banknote to the policeman sitting nearby.
"What's up?"
When the young policeman knew that Li Wen was from Mainland China, he frowned, but still walked over.
"Asi, you saw it just now, this guy threatened me.
