Turning his head, Shi Zhijian no longer ignored the cowardly neighbors and greeted A Xiang with a smile, "Brother Xiang, what's the matter? I've been waiting for a long time."
Ah Xiang did not dare to be too arrogant in front of Shi Zhijian. He changed his arrogance towards the poor people and said hurriedly: "It's okay, I just arrived! The third young master said, let me take Mr. Shi to the Kowloon Bay Huafang for drinking.
!”
Shi Zhijian nodded, turned to look at the astonished elder sister Shi Yufeng and said with a smile: "Sister, don't cook for me tonight, I might come back very late!"
"Ah?" Shi Yufeng, who had a stunned look on his face, suddenly widened his eyes, "What are you doing? Did you meet someone outside? It's so dangerous outside, you must not be deceived!"
"Don't worry, I'm the only one in this world who can deceive people, no one can deceive me!" Shi Zhijian winked at Shi Yufeng and walked towards the Bentley.
Ah Xiang hurriedly opened the car door and Shi Zhijian got in.
Shi Yufeng refused: "Come back soon! I'll leave some food for you!"
Shi Zhijian waved to her through the window, and soon, the black Bentley sped away with its whistle honking.
Those people in the back were not calm anymore. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhijian really became "Master Shi" and got into Bentley.
"Sister Yufeng, your Ajian is so sharp, you know such a rich person!"
"Yeah, we've lived together for so long without knowing it!"
"You don't know much. Even Daeshengxiong came to visit Brother Jian this morning!" Some people started to exaggerate after the fact.
"Ah, Daeshengxiong? Boss Hong Yihai? Brother Jian is so awesome!"
Shi Yufeng's head exploded upon hearing this.
Those who had previously called Shi Yufeng "Lame Phoenix" were even more flattering at this time: "Sister Yufeng, why don't you come and sit in my room? I just made pig blood porridge!"
"Why don't you go to my place? We have a lot of toys at home. Bao'er will definitely like them!"
Whenever Shi Yufeng encountered this kind of situation, he was despised by others before. He could only regain his face by relying on a sharp mouth, but now there are so many people fawning over him.
So, she straightened her back, her eyes were shining, and she glanced sideways at everyone: "I'm a 'lame Phoenix'. I can't walk easily, so I'm embarrassed to go to your house for dinner!"
"Also, what's the fun in those tattered toys of yours? My Mabel doesn't like them! My Mabel only likes the dolls from the department store. What are they called? Barbie dolls! Each one is more than ten dollars better, you buy it.
Can you afford it?!"
Shi Yufeng's "king's contempt" directly made this group of neighbors who climbed high and stepped down unable to hold their heads high.
Under countless ashamed glances, Shi Yufeng tugged at her clothes, raised her head high, held the leftover leaves she picked up in one hand, and held Bao'er in the other, walking proudly in front of everyone like a queen.

On the Bentley -----
Ah Xiang was driving in the front, while Shi Zhijian was sitting in the back thinking about starting an instant noodle factory.
Now we have factories, but we lack machinery and equipment.
In Hong Kong at this time, there was no such machinery and equipment for instant noodle production. To be precise, there were few places in Asia.
Shi Zhijian made a rough calculation and found that a factory as big as his own would need to install at least ten production lines. In other words, ten large instant noodle production machines would be needed!
Not to mention that so many machines are expensive, but that there is probably no such suitable machine in Hong Kong.
What are the most popular products in Hong Kong now? Flower plastic machines that produce plastic flowers, molding machines that produce toys, and sewing machines that sew clothes!
Shi Zhijian started to have a headache.
If you want to buy these machines, you can only go to RB now. After all, RB is the birthplace of instant noodles.
But after going to RB to buy it, I have to ship it back, which is very troublesome.
"Maybe Mr. Xu can help!" Shi Zhijian thought of Xu Shixun. The Xu family is a big family in Hong Kong and has wide connections. It should be easy to take their freighter to buy a few machines.
Ah Xiang, who was driving in front, would pay attention to Shi Zhijian sitting behind him from time to time. Seeing that Shi Zhijian sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, he seemed to be full of thoughts. He couldn't help but wonder if he had a headache because of meeting Xu Sanshao?
As Xiang has served Xu Shixun for so many years, he knows best that his young master appears to be carefree, but in fact he has a perverse temperament and is difficult to serve!
…
The Kowloon Bay Flower House was a gold-selling den for wealthy people in Hong Kong in this era, and it was also the best place to have fun.
Whenever night falls, the huge Kowloon Bay begins to be decorated with lights and colorful boats, and the flower boats are moored on the water like swaying crystal dragon palaces.
As a son of a wealthy family, Xu Shixun, the third young master of Xu, spent 8,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the entire "Emerald Palace" tonight.
The Jade Palace is the largest and most luxurious of the banquets in Kowloon Bay. It has three floors, and can accommodate hundreds of people for dinner. The cook above is from a royal family and is good at cooking royal meals. He is also proficient in the eight major cuisines, as long as you can name them.
He can help you make all the dishes.
In addition, the entire Huafang will also prepare wonderful songs and dances for distinguished guests. Even big stars in the current film industry such as Chen Baozhu, Xiao Fangfang, and Feng Baobao are proud to perform here.
Because the quality is so high, anyone who has eaten at the Jade Palace will be able to praise it for a lifetime.
Shi Zhijian, guided by Ah Xiang, took a small boat and rowed towards the Jade Palace not far away.
The people who operate the boats are the Dan people who live in this area. They live on the water all their lives. Not far away, there are fourteen or fifteen simple floating water houses made of wood, which are their homes on the sea.
On the road, a Dan girl with long black braids and dark skin came over on a small boat with bare feet to sell the lotus seeds she had picked, as well as seafood and shellfish.
These things are not valuable to them, the sea dwellers, but they can be exchanged for some money to buy many daily necessities, such as a comb and a mirror. Women all love beauty, and Dan Mei is no exception.
Because she lives on the water all year round and doesn't often communicate with others, this Dan girl is always stumbling when she speaks.
"First, sir... buy, buy some lotus seeds!"
Shi Zhijian saw that although her skin was slightly darker, she looked extremely handsome, especially her lively eyes, which were like a pool of clear water, so he asked: "What's your name?"
"You, Youwei... Su Youwei."
"What a good name!" Shi Zhijian was surprised that a girl from the Dan family had such a nice name.
The Dan family has been wandering on the sea all their lives. Many of them only fish and do not study. They also give names very casually. Some even have no names and are just called "Ximei" or "Xiedi" all their lives.
"Year old?"
"Ten, sixteen years old!"
Coming out to support the family at the age of sixteen made Shi Zhijian feel soft.
"How much do your lotus seeds cost?"
"As much as you want." The daughter of the Dan family was a little nervous, fearing that Shi Zhijian wouldn't buy it, so she quickly grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and gave them to Shi Zhijian, "Try it...it's delicious!"
Good-looking girls from the Dan family are usually licked, touched, or even pinched by some salty customers when they are selling things. These girls from the Dan family rarely refuse in order to sell things.
Especially the girl in front of her, who was like a dark and pretty wild rose. Others would have been unable to help but make some small movements when picking up lotus seeds, but Shi Zhijian took it very politely, picked up a lotus seed and tasted it.
After one sip, he praised: "Not bad! Fragrant and sweet!"
Immediately, Shi Zhijian took ten yuan and gave it to the Dan girl named "Su Youwei" and said, "I will buy all your lotus seeds!"
Ah Xiang quickly reminded Shi Zhijian that it was inappropriate and must not buy it.
The Dan girl looked astonished. She had never seen such "big money" as ten Hong Kong dollars in her life. Normally, her lotus seeds would only cost a few cents even if they were sold out!
The things of the Dan people have always been very cheap, just like their wandering lives, as humble as dust!
Just when Shi Zhijian was paying to buy all the lotus seeds from Guang Dan's daughter, other Dan's girls came rushing towards them on boats. If A Xiang hadn't urged the boatman to speed up, they might have been surrounded.
"I knew it would be like this! Mr. Shi, you can't buy these Dan family girls' things casually. If you buy one, you will stir up a hornet's nest!"
"Besides, their stuff is so cheap! Your lot of lotus seeds are not even worth a dollar, so why give her so much?!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, picked up a lotus seed and threw it into his mouth: "You are eating lotus seeds, but what I am eating is happiness!"
…
As we get closer to the boat, we can hear all kinds of melodious songs. We can distinguish them carefully, but they are Cantonese opera, Kunqu opera, and the favorite Yangzhou tunes of the wealthy and idle people.
Shi Zhijian and his party walked to the pavilion of the Jade Palace, where they skillfully lowered the ladder.
Two women in short shirts smiled and came down from the top, and took the initiative to help Shi Zhijian and A Xiang take the ladder onto the flower boat.
With the support of the woman, Shi Zhijian walked straight towards the third floor of the top floor. Apart from the reception staff, there were no other guests in the huge flower boat.
As soon as Shi Zhijian climbed up to the third floor, he saw Xu Shixun getting angry at the proprietress of Huafang: "This is so bullying! How dare an opera singer not take me seriously!"
After saying that, he grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it out.
Fortunately, the proprietress dodged quickly enough, and with a thud, the ashtray fell to the ground and rolled to Shi Zhijian's feet.
