In the hazy night, the neon sign at the entrance of the Fish Pond Izakaya was still flashing and blinking, the old door curtain was swaying in the wind, and the stray cat was still sleeping on the air conditioner on the side of the alley.
"I'm back, I'm back." Sakai Kao was walking through the alley, a little excited.
Gu He and Lorna walked behind, along with Vivian who also came with them.
After more than twenty days, they left the Yakuza headquarters and quietly returned to Shouhui Street from Renqing Street.
In this early winter season, the temperature is much colder, but it hasn't snowed yet in Liuguang City, so it looks like nothing has changed here.
"Do you think Lao Fan has prepared a delicious meal to welcome us?" Vivian asked with a smile.
"Old Fan? I don't expect that." Lorna said.
Gu He followed Miss Sakai into the fish pond. The surroundings became warm. There were several figures sitting at the bar. Lao Cai, Sakai Shukichi, and Lindsay were all there, knowing that they would be back tonight.
"Wow, look who this is!" Sakai Shukichi laughed immediately, "Gu He, the great sage, is so powerful!"
Xiu Ji and Lao Cai were enough to burst into cheers and applause, while Lao Fan behind the bar served the dishes expressionlessly.
Lao Cai praised: "Xiao He, you really made our fish pond look good this time!" Sakai Shukichi quickly said: "Lao Cai, what you said is wrong. Firstly, you are not from the fish pond. Secondly, Lao Fan
It’s not about growing a face, it’s about being slapped in the face.”
"My face was swollen, wouldn't it just grow back?" Lindsay said, swaying a glass of sake.
They laughed again, and the few people who had just returned also sat down at the bar.
"Here's the ramen, a huge bowl!" Lorna patted the bar.
Fan Debao was still wearing a dark blue chef's uniform, with a complex expression on his fat and short-cut face. His smile looked like he was looking at a proud and gloating face.
It doesn’t have to look like it, it’s simply that Sakai Shukichi is about to get drunk and dance to celebrate.
"Uh, I want ramen too." Gu He looked at Lao Fan's fat face, which was almost stiff.
I don’t want it either, really, Lao Fan, I don’t want it either, at least not at the beginning.
"Old Fan, haven't you always wanted to get rich? Let me tell you a way." Sakai Shukichi said, "You make a 'Daisheng Liquor' to sell. I guarantee it will sell well and people from near and far will come to try it."
, we can open a branch within this year.”
Lao Cai also agreed, but Vivian said: "What kind of wine do you sell? Start asking Dahe to pick up customers. That's the big money."
"You're the first to pay, right?" Lorna rolled her eyes.
"This is the fish pond, this is my place." Lao Fan's fat face was getting longer and darker, "No one can cause trouble in the fish pond, including you, don't talk nonsense."
"Who are you trying to scare?" Sakai Shukichi yelled, "You can't even beat Hua Qing now. Lao Cai, you should also be careful and don't bother with her wallet anymore. She can strangle you to death with one hand now."
"Really?" Lao Cai pushed up his glasses on his nose and said, "Hua Qing, Uncle Cai has also heard that you are a programmer."
Lao Fan was silent and silent. He was always not optimistic about Sakai Sanju's ability to become the second programmer. And it was him...
Lao Fan knows more than others because he is a reliable partner. Kumiko Ayane once told him to "get through the big group".
"Yeah, thanks to..." Sakai Kao almost said Jian Bao, but quickly changed his words: "Thanks to He Sang, he helped me a lot, and I had this kind of breakthrough. My brother is exaggerating, that's all.
.”
Lindsay whistled lightly and let Lao Cai understand it by himself.
"Her Q-level program requires hard work and personality traits." Gu He knew best that Ms. Sakai was really grateful to the right person. When he was pleased, he helped her stab Lao Fan, "Those who work hard are not bad."
"Lao Fan is also very hardworking." Vivian added, "Have you ever seen him go to other places? Anyway, every time I see him, he is working at the bar here. How hard it is."
When everyone thinks about it, it seems that this is really the case.
Lao Fan is a complete homebody. He basically doesn't go anywhere except Licai and the fish pond.
No wonder Lao Fan and Cookie get along so well, they both have homely attributes.
"If you continue to bullshit me, you will be responsible for the consequences." Lao Fan placed several bowls of hot ramen heavily on the bar.
Seeing that this old friend seemed really angry, Lao Cai immediately reconciled and said: "Lao Fan also fought and killed when he was young. He was once the most ruthless person in Dongtu Street..."
But Lao Cai himself was happy when he said it. He pursed his lips in joy at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
Everyone was infected by the laughter, and Sakai Shukichi started dancing. The most fun thing in the fish pond was to see Lao Fan's bad face.
"Speaking of which, did you commit any crime on East Earth Street before you came to Kabukicho? Can you tell me?"
Vivian asked, becoming a little interested in this past incident, "Otaku like Lao Fan doesn't look like someone who would cause trouble at all."
"I'm not talking nonsense just now, it's really like that." Lao Cai said with a serious face, "We were also young. Don't look at Lao Fan as a food maker, many Dongtu swordsmen are food makers, and so are food experts.
Food maker."
"We are not doubting the chef, we are doubting the old fan." Sakai Shukichi said hehely.
Gu He snickered and murmured in his heart, it's a good thing Elizabeth wasn't here, otherwise he wouldn't have praised Lao Fan to the sky...
"Lao Cai, don't talk nonsense to them." Lao Fan said coldly, "They don't even go to Dongtu Street. What do they know?"
"Oh, Lao Fan, do you think you are the most ruthless person? You are really immodest." Sakai Shukichi suddenly teased again.
While everyone was laughing and chatting, Miss Caiyin came over from Li Cai, followed by Xingtong and several other children.
"Boss!" Xingtong was so excited that he shouted to Gu He, whom he hadn't seen for many days, but he hugged Lorna, "I miss you so much."
"Growing a little taller again." Lorna rubbed Xingtong's head and smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, the alleys outside gradually became noisy, and many people came towards the fish pond.
It turned out that when Gu He and the others got off the car on the main street and walked back, even though it was night, they had already been seen by sharp-eyed people. Information spread quickly on the street, especially Jian's big mouth.
After these days, Great Sage, the heat of the war has subsided in other areas of the city.
But in Kabukicho, on Juhui Street, it’s still hot, and Gu He is back!
"Is it here? The fish pond is here!"
"He's in there, I saw him, haha, Dad!"
"You look so handsome, great sage, fuck me!"
The chaotic noise of people poured into the fish pond, and an old dog in a sailor uniform and short skirt took the lead to arrive.
Familiar and unfamiliar people crowded into the small izakaya. Some were delighted when they saw the man in many street legends, while others were surprised. This man wearing Japanese sportswear and holding a thermos cup was...
…
This is far from the legendary image of him with three heads and six arms, holding a golden hoop.
However, this did not affect the eager eyes of many street dog girls. They crowded the fish pond bar, smoking and joking. They clearly wanted to sleep with the Monkey King so that they could get close to the tattoo.
"Get out, everyone get out, close the business!" Lao Fan shouted angrily.
But no one paid attention to the boss, who was still surrounding Gu He, almost trying to eat Tang Monk's flesh.
What's your name? Fatty, aren't you happy to have business?
Lao Fan pulled the chef's apron and was about to get angry, but Kumiko Ayane stopped him: "Lao Fan, just let everyone make a fuss."
"Alas!" Lao Fan said helplessly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mom Caiyin, I want him!" "Pick up the guests, pick up the guests!" "It's tonight."
The girls all shouted, "Of course the Cowherd has to pick up customers." "I'll give him any money, and I'll sell myself to him!"
"Everyone, thank you very much for your care for Xiaohe." Ayin Kumiko responded with a smile, "He is our number one, you can't just say something, it also depends on his own wishes. But there are many more on Licai's side
A great Cowherd."
But they came because of the great sage's momentum, and suddenly there was a voice of resentment.
"Why don't you consider me?" Sakai Shukichi said, "I also receive customers occasionally."
"Go and die!"
At the same time, Lorna sat on the sofa and looked at the bar counter where Gu He was being dragged around in pain by the women. Sakai Kao was busy trying to smooth things over. Lorna snorted, pretending to be in pain, just enjoy it.
"I really don't understand you." Vivian also sat down on the sofa, "Come on if you want. Aren't you usually very brave?"
"Stop talking about it, it's not that..." Lorna muttered, raised a can of beer and took a sip, "Besides, you are also a bird, just another bird."
"That's true." Vivian shrugged and saw a woman wearing a hollow metal mask walking over, Pandora.
Pandora came from Licai and sat next to Lorna on the sofa. Amidst the noise of the izakaya, she said:
"Now that I'm back, I can start doing things. Several items have been accounted for, and it's not easy to deal with."
"Where are all the goods?" Lorna's green eyes narrowed slightly, knowing what the other person was talking about.
Pandora looked at Vivian, "There is one in the voodoo area, one in Dongtu Street, if you know someone there, it might be easier to get; there is also a small flea area, which requires a lot of money; and there is another one in the mud pond.
You have to try your luck."
"Where are the other two, are they gone?"
"I haven't found it yet. Some people have sold it to the consortium. You can ask that red-haired friend to help you find out."
Pandora is a smart person and has already figured it out, "She will give you the raw materials."
"Yes, we have the same goal." Lorna said, "Your enemy set fire to the Red Rain House before."
"Okay." Pandora looked at the entangled Gu He over there, "Where should we go first and when?"
"I just came back, give it a couple of days." Lorna drank her beer, "How about the one in the voodoo area? Is it easy?"
"I can't tell, I need to deal with the Voodoo Gang."
Pandora and Lorna both looked at Vivian now. The big house area was not easy to get to. There were all gangs there and it was very chaotic.
"Look at what I'm doing, I don't even know what the hell you are talking about." Vivian spread her hands.
"It's just an old antique. It's not a cultural relic, but it's quite valuable." Lorna laughed at herself.
Vivian thought and chuckled: "Let me show you the way. I just want to go back and I have to deal with a problem. It is also a vase. It is not a cultural relic, but it is quite valuable. What a pity.
