"What are we going to eat today? Yesterday's hot pot with red oil was delicious, but my ass suffered a lot!"
Watching the negotiating man come down from upstairs with a constipated look on his face, he rubbed his stomach and tightened his buttocks from time to time. Sun Jiming, who had just walked in, smiled and made jokes.
"...Sigh..." The negotiating man sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "It tasted so good on my mouth yesterday, but my stomach will suffer a lot today. Eat less of this spicy food in the future."
Sun Jiming also felt the same and said: "It is most suitable to eat this during the rainy season, or when the humidity is high like you are boating on the water. When it is dry and hot, eating this is really easy to get angry and uncomfortable."
"
"Then why don't I leave some for you? When the weather is right, we can enjoy it a few times?" After hearing this, the negotiating man asked.
"...Okay..." Sun Jiming agreed after thinking about it. Although the spicy food was not very suitable to his taste, the burning sensation also made him want to stop.
"...Oh...are you going to make some meat today?" The two of them entered the kitchen together. Sun Jiming looked at the ingredients to be cooked and spoke.
"Yes, it's made in Xuzhou. We were at a small wharf by the canal and tasted a very delicious one. We even asked people how to make it. Everyone was a little greedy, so we got it to try!"
The negotiating man nodded and explained, and Sun Jiming also became interested. How does it feel that a group of people were slandered? But he was also curious as to why the other party was willing to tell the truth.
After hearing this, the negotiating man explained: "That shop is specially for dock coolies, and those of us who run ships, and cook big pots of rice, so we can't sell it at a high price.
As for his recipe, you need to use enough ingredients to make it delicious, but if you do this, the price will be a bit expensive. Even if you divide it into portions for several people, most people will not be willing to try it.
So! He usually only sells a small pot at local fairs, during major festivals, and when the dock business is very good, and he mainly uses its fragrance to attract customers, and does not make money from selling it.
Now when we go to Xuzhou, we are basically just passing by. If we want to eat, we can only stop by for a meal time. As a result, we haven't been able to eat it many times, so we asked how to make it.
But some of the seasonings and side dishes were hard to come by, so they were never made on the ship. The food in Shanghai is very complete, but the side dishes are a little less interesting, and I don’t know if it has a big impact on the taste!"
Sun Jiming nodded and asked for the recipe. It was indeed different from the way he knew how to cook the meat, and it seemed to be made by a chef from a big restaurant, so it should be pretty reliable.
Where did the recipe come from? What kind of person did it come from? It can be seen in the recipes of many dishes. Sun Jiming estimated that Fang's ancestor either opened a big shop or worked as a chef, so he was able to pass down this recipe.
"...Oh...you guys went out to play early in the morning? Or did you stay up all night?"
When Sun Jiming came out carrying his things, he saw a few arrogant men filing in from outside the door, fanning themselves by the corners of their clothes, and running off somewhere to play. However, he felt a little embarrassed, so he made some jokes.
As everyone settled down and became familiar with some situations, and because everyone sometimes had different opinions on where to go, everyone began to move in groups.
"...I just went out this morning..." the arrogant man responded, pointed at the perverted man next to him, and explained.
"This guy has a rotten tooth, which often hurts him. He saw a dental clinic when he was passing by, and he asked us to take him there early in the morning to have a look... Ouch... that one is so expensive..."
The arrogant man kept shaking his head in fear, and even shuddered, as if it was some kind of man-eating demon cave.
"...Sigh..." When Sun Jiming heard about the dentist, his face wrinkled and he smiled bitterly: "Don't tell me you think it's expensive, I've had my teeth treated several times, but after hearing the price, my teeth hurt even more!"
"...Hello... Ni is good..." We just had something in common and were about to chat about something casual! But the big black crow came again.
"It just came to the door after you came back. It looks like it's relying on you." Sun Jiming joked as he watched the crow scampering to the feet of the arrogant man.
The arrogant man looked indifferent and asked the perverted man to go to the kitchen and give the crow something to eat. He also joked with the crow before he spoke.
"This little guy can't eat much. The price of that guy's whole tooth is probably enough to feed him for a lifetime."
Several people watched the arrogant man teasing the crow and chatted for a while. After the crow had eaten its fill and left, the few people returned to the topic.
"Replacement of teeth shouldn't be so fast, right? Didn't it happen in the end?" Sun Jiming asked.
The arrogant man shook his head and explained: "I was a little reluctant, saying that I wanted to wait until I ate a handful of meat before doing it, but I guess it was inevitable in the end. I saw several dentists, and they all said that the problem with his teeth was not small. If he left it alone, the other teeth would also be affected.
Might be broken…”
A few people chatted and sat back next to each other, chatting about various gossips while drinking tea. In this weather, when the sun comes up, it is impossible to do anything.
…
"Are you sure they traveled so far just to go to the clinic for dental treatment?"
Qian Qigui frowned slightly and asked. For these people, he originally only planned to arrange for people to keep an eye on them, but in the end, these people started to play their own way again.
Shanghai has been uneasy lately, with overt and covert reports in the newspapers and various rumors going on privately. He felt that these people seemed a bit bold and not normal, so he continued to have people keep a close eye on them.
"It was true that we went to see a dentist. After the other party left, we asked the doctor and found out that the other party had a tooth that was indeed seriously damaged.
But I think it was too expensive, so I traveled a long way and looked for several dental clinics, but in the end I didn’t change it..."
His subordinates reported the situation in detail to Qian Qigui, but he found no problems, so in the end he could only order to continue watching.
After hearing this, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, why don't you simply arrange for someone to follow them to check if there is any fleet, or find someone to test them, and waste your time on them..."
"What is a waste of effort?" Qian Qigui interrupted a little impatiently, with a sullen face, staring at his subordinates so hard that he didn't dare to look directly, and then he spoke coldly.

direct threat.
How do you think they will react then? Will they still be as harmless as they are now? We just want to gain benefits, not to be used as cannon fodder for others and die in vain, do you understand?
Remember, no matter it is the other party or any other suspicious target, the investigation methods must be used to the last detail. Don’t get mad and risk your own life."
After giving his men a good warning, Qian Qigui let them go, but he didn't say one thing. If their lives could be exchanged for benefits, he could give them up at any time, but now that they had been exchanged, he might not still be alive.
Enjoy.
Now, he is no longer as calm and calm as before. As the confrontation between the two sides intensifies, he wonders whether his choice is a bit too hasty?
Especially now, those people are getting more and more unstable. Day by day, the phone calls are urging him, and they are forcing him to carry out various orders and tasks...
…
"Master Hong, Mr. Zhu has responded. He is willing to have a truce, but he is not talking about peace talks for the time being. He said that the two sides have too deep grudges over the war. Without enough sincerity, peace talks cannot be held."
Hong Suixian, who was sitting on the main seat with his brothers standing behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Boss Zhu what the conditions were. Even if it was just a truce, there must be conditions.
Old Wei, Wei Tongshan, hesitated for a moment and said: "Boss Zhu wants the business to be returned to him except for the white stuff, and the other shops will be divided as they are.
However, we can only do business such as construction and decoration, and we cannot interfere with the businesses of several other areas of influence in the area where our shop is located."
"...Then... let's discuss it! I will listen to everyone's opinions on business matters."
Hong Suixian didn't say whether he agreed or not, but looked at what the people at the table meant. After all, the business was basically in the hands of these people.
For gangs, territory has two meanings. One is the division of neighborhoods. In this territory, conflicts that break out, distribution of black and gray interests, etc. are all managed by the affiliated forces.
On the other hand, within a certain area, the area is not necessarily the territory that one occupies, and the various businesses in the area are divided into separate businesses for their own business and profit.
In this area, although the territory is also divided by the former, it is obviously dominated by the latter, that is, the industries in which they operate.
On your site, there will be another or even several businesses operating, but it is not the core part of the industry. Similarly, you also conduct business on several other sites.
As for the black and gray interests of non-own industries in their respective geographical territories, either those companies have intervened, or they have been given to some small and medium-sized forces to take advantage of.
Now, Mr. Zhu's intention is to let them limit their business operations to the former's territory division. For them, the business scope is too small.
After a heated debate, everyone finally reached a consensus and chose to agree to Boss Zhu's plan. Although they were angry, they couldn't agree to it!
Their previous ally, Boss Chen, had been kicked out. He packed up his bags in despair and led his people to escape from the city. The Japanese in the background also turned against each other.
The other forces in this area had also helped Boss Zhu overtly or covertly before. Although they did not attack them directly, they only blocked Boss Chen. Although a reconciliation has been reached now, the attitudes of the various factions are ambiguous, and there are still unresolved rifts between the two parties.
So, they don't have many choices.
Now that he agreed, Hong Suixian didn't say much! He just asked someone to get a map, which was an ordinary commercial map, drew on it with a red pen, and then passed it to other people at the table.
Lao Qiu and Qiu Fuqing took it and looked at it, and found that at the geographical location where it was connected to Boss Zhu, Hong Sui showed his willingness to give in, probably to avoid any conflicts later.
On the other side of their territory, although they only took a small part of the territory given up by Boss Chen when he was eliminated, Hong Suixian directly moved into half of Boss Chen's old territory.
"Can we talk about this? With sincerity, we can get more benefits. As for the brothers whose interests will be harmed if they are removed, then..."
