I looked at the small switchblade in her hand and smiled.
I apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know your name. I heard people around me calling you that, so I called you that. If I offended you, I apologize."
"Still laughing? Are you apologizing?"
I immediately stopped laughing.
It was approaching evening at this time, and from time to time there were vendors in the market loudly shouting about sales. My daughter and I couldn't communicate, so I thought of going around to buy something, and by the way, I would wait a little longer to see if the chicken-foot woman would come back.
, I negotiated the price with her face to face.
I turned around and walked away, but the woman didn't follow me. She just shouted behind me, telling me to be careful.
The east side of the live poultry market sells chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, while the west side mainly sells seafood, including fresh fish and frozen fish.
I remembered the taste of the steamed fish I had eaten in Shunde, so I bought a big grass carp and planned to cook it myself. I paid the boss to help kill the fish, and then I went to look for a place that sold steamed fish seasoning.
At this moment, I suddenly saw people in the market running to the east. Some people were running and shouting: "Quickly! Come and watch the fun, they are setting up stalls and starting a fight!"
I carried the grass carp in a plastic bag and followed the crowd.
"Why is it her?"
.
I gathered around the crowd to watch, and found out that the Chicken Feet Lady's stall had been smashed. The cages were tilted around, the stools fell to the ground, and chicken feathers were scattered on the ground. There were two men in their thirties, one of whom was holding the chicken feet.
The little chicken-footed woman refused to let go of her hair, and another person slapped her in the face until her face was swollen. The little chicken-footed woman also spoke harshly and kept swearing in her mouth.
The crowd was talking a lot.
"Why do old men beat women?"
"That's right."
There were also people whistling and cheering.
When you say hit, hit hard, hit until death.
There were a lot of people watching, and no one came out to help.
I saw that the two men were so cruel that I couldn't stand it anymore. After all, I still wanted her mother to help, so I squeezed out of the crowd to help.
I pushed one of them away and said stop fighting.
"Pooh!"
The little chicken-footed woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and spat fiercely.
Seeing that I stood up, one of the men said angrily: "What are you doing, kid! I told you not to mind your own business! If you dare to stand up, I'll call someone over and beat you too!"
Seeing that these two men were so big and wanted to call someone, my expression changed and I told them to go on and I was leaving.
"Coward." The man scolded me.
I squeezed through the crowd and ran to the side, and quickly took out my cell phone to make a call.
"We're loading the goods, what's wrong with Yunfeng?"
I held my cell phone and said: "Brother Gangzi, where are you now? Come quickly, my friend is being beaten. The address is here at the live poultry market."
"Idiot," Gangzi cursed on the phone, saying who is so awesome? Give him the phone and I'll ask if he recognizes him.
I quickly told you not to hang up.
I ran back with my phone, handed it to the man, and said, brother, someone asked me to ask who you are.
The man took the phone in confusion and talked with Gangzi for two minutes.
After hanging up the phone, the man changed his face. He smiled and handed the phone back to me and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, then we will withdraw first." After saying this, the two people ran away without beating the chick.
"It's gone, it's gone, don't look at it." I helped the little chick out of the crowd.
The little chick-footed woman was so talkative that her face was swollen from being beaten and she cursed and said to the two of them, just wait until she finds someone to take revenge.
When we came out of the live poultry market, she straightened her hair and asked me: "Boy, are you from Lanzhou? Why haven't I seen you before? Why are you looking for my mother to look after me?"
I thought to myself that I didn't even say thank you for saving you, but then I changed my mind and said, "Yes, I have a problem and I want to ask your mother for help."
The little chicken-footed woman looked around, and she suddenly pulled me to the corner and whispered: "You helped me out today, and I, Wang Huili, don't want to owe you anything. You go away quickly and don't look for my mother. My mother is
Those who cheat you out of money and try to help others are all fake."
"Fake?"
"Then how can your mother understand my situation?" I asked doubtfully.
"Oh, don't ask, how do I know!" Little Chicken Feet said angrily: "She used to ask people to do things for her. Last time, she also asked people to ask for help at Yaxin Garden in Chengguan. I saw that I
Mom gave them money, and I told you, kid, if you don’t believe it, just take it.”
After chatting with Chickenfoot for half an hour outside the live poultry market, I returned to the hotel confused.
Xiaoxuan was still angry with me. When she saw me coming back, she ignored me and turned her face away.
I picked up the plastic bag and coaxed her and said, "Look what I bought? Fish, later I'll go to Brother Fa to borrow some MSG seasoning, and we'll steam the fish for dinner tonight."
Xiaoxuan curled her lips and said, "Who cares about eating your fish?"
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
this
I shook my head and carried the fish downstairs to ask Bald Hair for some seasoning. I didn't believe it. With my skills, the smell of fish would fill the entire corridor. I didn't believe she would be able to resist eating it.
"Brother Fa?"
"Brother Fa?"
There was no one at the front desk downstairs. I went to his room and looked for him, but there was no one there. I don't know where the bald guy went, and I didn't even look at the store.
I thought that I would just use the steamer and seasonings, and I would wait until someone came back to tell me. Then I carried the fish and went directly to the kitchen on the first floor.
"Pah! Pah!" I flattened the chopping board and smashed two heads of garlic with a kitchen knife.
In fact, I don't know how to cook fish, so I just made it randomly. I found some onion, ginger, and garlic, poured it into a basin and marinated it with cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, then sprinkled some salt and steamed the grass carp directly in the pot.
I turned on the gas stove, wiped my hands and got ready to go out.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a quarrel coming from next door to the kitchen.
There is a small single room next door, which is not used for people to live in. It is a small warehouse. Bald Hair puts some buckets, mops and other sundries from the hotel in it.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a woman's voice, and the voice is sharp and thin.
The more I listen, the more it sounds like, isn’t this a chicken-foot woman? Why is she here? Is she looking for me?
I turned down the heat on the stove and put my ear against the wall to listen to what was going on in the utility room. I could hear it very clearly.
I heard the bald head first.
"I told you to order less, I told you to order less, but you didn't listen!"
"Xu Laotou, don't you think this group of people is rich? You said they must have fled from Yinchuan, and 80% of them have criminal records. People like this are afraid of the police. What's wrong with me asking for 300,000?"
"Tiger than a bitch!" Baldhead said angrily: "This is the person brought here by Gangzi. I asked you to wait for two days before taking action, but you didn't listen! You had to be in such a hurry, and the lion opened its mouth! It would scare the person away.
, we can’t get it for two cents!”
"Don't worry." Chickenfoot Woman laughed twice and said, "I've seen the leader of the boy. He's suspicious. I'm the most experienced in dealing with this kind of person. I'll disappear for two days so that he can't find me. Then I'll
If I take the initiative to lower the price and ask him for 200,000 yuan, then our business is done."
"Okay," the bald man said, "then we should follow the old rules. I send the person there. If I am six and you are four, I will get 125,000."
"Go away, I finally killed a big fish this time. It's all my effort. Five to five points, one hundred thousand per person afterwards, let's talk about it on a case-by-case basis. The next order will be based on sixty-four points."
"Okay, just this time, hurry up and leave, I'm here to fan you." Bald Hair said.
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first."
Then I heard the utility room door open.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, I immediately ran to the kitchen door and closed the door.
Outside, the bald man and the chicken-footed woman whispered and left, not paying attention to the kitchen.
The water in the steamer is still boiling.
I never thought that things would be like this before.
The bald man told me vividly before, saying that the chicken-footed woman can see things, how amazing and powerful it is.
Bullshit.
What's wrong, what's jail time.
They sent us here from Gangzi, but we were plotted against from the first day we arrived in Lanzhou.
If I hadn't been thinking about eating steamed fish today, I happened to overhear their conversation.
