Chapter 375 Encounter by chance...No need to look for it!
The shout of food being served came from the kitchen, and the female shopkeeper turned around and went in. When she came back, she brought out the food on a tray.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu's dumplings were brought to the table immediately. He handed Chen Xiuyu the chopsticks and they both tasted them. The dumplings were stuffed with cabbage and tasted so-so. Apart from the generous portion, they had no other advantages.
"Let's just deal with it. When we get home, if you want to eat, we'll take care of it!" Lu Lu said in a low voice.
Chen Xiuyu nodded, glancing at the female shopkeeper who was walking among a group of rough men from time to time.
The female shopkeeper changed her clothes today and wore a cotton-padded jacket with red background and white flowers. Her big braids were combed smoothly, and she tied a red ribbon on top, and she rubbed her hands with oil to make them fragrant.
While serving food to others, he would slap away the hands that were reaching out to him.
It was the man just now who took the opportunity to pinch the female shopkeeper's round buttocks.
The female shopkeeper put the man's noodles on the table, raised her foot and kicked the man on the butt, knocking him to the ground along with the stool, and cursed: "Old donkey!"
Calling someone "old donkey" means that a person is old and stupid like a donkey.
The man was not annoyed, he stood up with a smile, patted the dirt on his body, dust was everywhere, and he approached the female shopkeeper again: "I am older than your shopkeeper Jin, maybe I can be better than him..." As he said,
He reached out and grabbed the female shopkeeper again.
Snap...
The female shopkeeper slapped me in the face with a crisp sound.
The man immediately tilted the other side of his face to meet her, and said with a smile: "Come here too, or it won't be too heavy."
Seeing his kindness, the female shopkeeper laughed and scolded: "Dead skin!"
Seeing the two of them playing around, everyone around them burst into laughter.
At this moment, the man started singing at the top of his voice:
"You can wait for me, my biological sister;
When I make money, I will drive three sets of big cars;
Put on a watch, it’s from Shanghai; ride a bicycle, it’s from Phoenix;
I'll touch it, I'll touch it...
Touch the girl's hand, pull it into your arms;
When you straighten your waist, the girl also hums..."
I don’t know what the tone of the song was, but the man’s face was full of obscenity, which made everyone laugh.
The female shopkeeper glared at him fiercely, snorted softly, and raised her head high: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."
The man didn't care and continued singing at the top of his lungs:
“Flags in the wind and fish in the net;
Thirty-year-old little widow, seeing the big grassy donkey makes me feel itchy!
It’s called Heng Heng, it’s called Heng Heng!”
The female shopkeeper's face suddenly turned red. The wooden tray in her hand hit the man's table with a roar, the wine bowl fell to the ground, and all the noodles in the noodle bowl spilled out.
The female shopkeeper was startled, then she slipped into the back room, and the door slammed shut with a clang, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Chen Xiuyu blushed when she heard this. Lu Lu knew that she couldn't stand the vulgar words of these rough men, so he urged: "Eat quickly! After eating, go back to the room, and ask them to bring the food to the room in the evening..."
"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu responded quietly, busy stuffing dumplings into her mouth.
When Lu Lu looked up, he saw many people looking at his table with burning eyes.
He suddenly felt that it was a mistake to bring Chen Xiuyu to stay at the car shop.
He lifted up the sack next to him and slapped it on the table, and the hunting knife at his waist also slapped it on the table.
Inside the Datong Shop, the air suddenly became dull. No one made a sound, they all had their heads down, and no one dared to look this way.
Hearing the noise outside, the female shopkeeper who hid in the back room opened the door, glanced at Lu Lu, and then shrank back.
After hastily filling his stomach, Lu Lu put the hunting knife back into his waist, raised the semi-automatic, and pulled Chen Xiuyu towards his room.
Everyone in Datong Shop looked at the two of them carefully.
"Who is this?"
"That's a gun in the bag, semi-automatic, good boy."
"They should be hunters! I saw them leading six dogs, which were fierce. They also had two horses. They were both good horses. Most people can't feed such good animals."
…
The female shopkeeper brought noodles and wine to the man again. This time, the man honestly did not mess with them.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu quickly returned to the room. After closing the door, Lu Lu said apologetically: "I will never bring you to a place like this again."
Compared to other places, large car shops are still a little too complicated.
Originally, the big car shop had always been a place where dragons and snakes mixed together, and no one knew who lived in this place.
Chen Xiuyu blushed and said, "It's okay...Brother Lu, is the female shopkeeper of this big car shop a widow?"
"Looking at it, it should be." Lu Lu nodded.
If she were not a widow, others would not dare to tease her so easily.
To be able to open a big car shop, you must have financial strength, and most of them have some connections in both black and white, otherwise you won't be able to get away with it at all.
It's the same even now.
Big car shops are a product of the era of Guandong. They opened all over the Northeast. Wherever there are people, there are big car shops.
Or to put it simply, where there are big car shops, there are towns, which play the role of transportation transfer stations or service areas. There is one almost every 40 to 50 miles away.
In the early years, the big car shops also had another function, that is, before the winter came, the big car shops became the resting places for many bandit cats.
Many bandits in the Northeast would bury their long guns and carry short guns with them before winter every year. The boss would give them a share of the money they robbed that year, then go their separate ways, and then gather at a fixed place in the next spring.
It’s time to go out for the cat winter.
This is what Lu Lu, Wang Demin, and Jiang Zewei heard when they were chatting.
He also knew that during the Anti-Japanese War, underground workers also opened large car shops, set up contact points, and inquired about information.
There are all kinds of people who come to the big car shop and come from all over. Listening to their chatter and bragging, you can learn a lot about the outside world.
This is a place with no secrets.
There was just a strange smell all over the house and the pungent smell of dry smoke.
Even now, as soon as winter comes, people in the wilderness hardly take a bath throughout the winter, and wear thick clothes, plus the dog-skin hats on their heads, covering up the sweat oil, plus the stench of their feet, the smell can be
It's not strange, it's probably only the smell of dry smoke that can cover it up.
Nowadays, large car shops in important places and important road sections have been taken over and transformed into state-owned shops. They can still survive near these remote villages.
As for the "ladies" supported by Zhou Fangjing, it is estimated that they can only hang out in this kind of place, find a big car shop, and then ask the men lying on the big kang one by one if they need service, but how many of them are there?
Those who can afford a high price, that is, a handful of money, fifty cents is the reason for them to stay.
Hmm...then all ladies only have eight cents.
"It's raining endlessly. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to you and come here in the car!"
Chen Xiuyu felt a little irritable.
Lu Lu smiled and said: "It's good to see it. Outside and in the village are completely different. If you have the opportunity to travel far in the future, you have to be careful."
The six dogs lying in the house were sleeping very comfortably.
The female shopkeeper brought cooked corn noodles and fodder for the horses, and she seemed very polite this time. After carefully checking that there were no problems, Lu Lu added fodder to Zhui Feng and green onions, and also fed corn noodles to the six dogs.
In large carriage shops, the feed for horses is often excellent, which in Lu Lu's opinion is the biggest benefit.
Go on to sleep!
Lu Lu, who had nothing to do, watched Chen Xiuyu disassemble and assemble the semi-automatic several times before lying down on the kang and sleeping with his head covered.
I have to say that rainy days are the best time to sleep. As soon as the quilt gets warm, I feel drowsy. Until the evening, the Yuanbao in the room suddenly started barking.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu, who had fallen asleep in their arms at some point, suddenly woke up.
The two of them immediately put on yellow rubber shoes. Lu Lu held the semi-automatic in his hand, opened the window and looked outside. He saw that the rain outside had stopped, and the setting sun shed some light from time to time through the gaps in the clouds. They were next to Zhui Feng and Green Onion.
A man in sleek clothes was standing aside and looking at the two horses.
Hearing the window being pushed open, the man looked back and asked with a smile: "Man, is this your horse?"
When Lu Lu saw this person, he was startled.
Lu Lu knew this person.
To be precise, he had known each other in his previous life, and was one of the three people who worked together to deceive him and eventually lost everything - Jin Zhiquan.
Encountered by chance...don't have to look for it!
Of course, at this time in his previous life, Lu Lu didn't know him yet.
It was only a few years later that Lu Lu met him when he was collecting mountain products from Dashan. He had planted a large field of ginseng in the mountains, and just when the price plummeted, he lost all his money.
When Lu Lu met him, he was about to hang himself on the crooked neck tree, but he rescued him.
Jin Zhiquan was also an educated youth who settled in Dahuang. Out of sympathy among educated youths, Lu Lu helped him and led him to start from scratch, helping him to pick up the slack and gradually get up again.
Originally, this was supposed to be a very strong relationship. Lu Lu had always regarded him as a friend, but he never expected that in the end, Jin Zhiquan would be one of the people who plotted against him.
Thinking of his name, Lu Lu immediately thought of the signboard of this big car shop.
Looking at his attire and the affectionate female shopkeeper standing not far away, Lu Lu guessed that he was the one who took over this big car shop in all likelihood.
However, in Lu Lu's memory, it seems that he has never mentioned this, and his wife is not the female shopkeeper.
There must be twists and turns in this, but he hid them early!
"This horse is mine, what's wrong?"
Lu Lu did not show his sudden anger, but asked with a smile.
"What a good horse. This black Sanhe horse and the green Oroqen horse are both rare and good horses." Jin Zhiquan looked at the horses with very hot eyes.
"You also know horses?" Lu Lu asked.
"I know something about it... I have taken over this big car shop for almost a year. Most of the people who have passed by are experienced drivers. I have heard a lot from them, so I know something about it."
Jin Zhiquan turned back to look at Lu Lu, his eyes moved slightly, glanced at Chen Xiuyu, and then asked: "A rare good horse, can you sell it?"
Lu Lu shook his head: "I won't sell it!"
"That's right. If I had such a good horse, I wouldn't be willing to sell it!"
Jin Zhiquan nodded: "Looking at your accent, you should be from Shanghai, right?"
"From your accent, you are from Hangzhou, and you are also an educated youth?" Lu Lu did not answer directly.
Jin Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He turned back to look at the female shopkeeper who was older than him: "My wife, prepare some wine and food. I want to have a good drink with this man tonight."
"Don't bother, I don't know how to drink, so just leave it alone!" Lu Lu decisively refused.
"We are all educated youths. We rarely meet. It doesn't matter whether we drink or not. Let's chat together!" He said as he stepped forward, took out a pack of Qianmen cigarettes from his pocket, shook out one and handed it over.
"Sorry, I don't know how to smoke either!"
"How is this possible? The educated youth who came to Dahuang didn't know how to smoke when they came, but after a year, they were all smokers..."
"I'm a different kind of person."
In his previous life, he was plotted by Jin Zhiquan. In this life, Lu Lu was instinctively full of resistance and wariness towards Jin Zhiquan. However, after experiencing that kind of thing, how could Lu Lu not learn to behave?
Jin Zhiquan lit a cigarette for himself angrily, and his eyes returned to Zhuifeng. He came closer and tried to reach out to touch it. Lu Lu quickly stopped him: "Don't touch it, this horse has a fierce temper and will hurt people!"
