The squid on the sizzling plate is steaming with fragrant heat.
At this time, Chen Qili, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, was wearing a white apron and his sleeves were rolled up. He held a shovel in one hand and manipulated the iron plate with the other. He looked like a street vendor. Where could there be a hegemon?
appearance.
Shi Zhijian and Chen Yaotai were sitting on the chairs next to them, with a dozen Taiwanese beers and Kinmen sorghum wine placed in front of them. Seven or eight Sanlian Gang boys were watching the surroundings vigilantly.
On both sides are various night market stalls, bustling with people, with a strong smell of fireworks, and very lively.
A charming woman appeared behind Chen Qili carrying various ingredients and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what kind of happy day is today that you are allowed to cook Teppanyaki yourself?"
“My friends are here in Hong Kong, let’s have a lot of fun together!”
The woman glanced at Shi Zhijian and Chen Yaotai in the distance, and laughed: "It seems like your two friends are not simple!"
"Really, how do you say it?"
"Especially the handsome guy in the white suit. He must be a big star, right?"
"The boss lady has great eyesight! What, you want to introduce your daughter to him?" Chen Qili flipped the squid on the iron plate and joked.
"You also know that my daughter Ai Jia is very worried. She smokes, drinks, and skips school! She is determined to be a female star! It would be best if she can be supported by someone she knows!" The female boss really regarded Shi Zhijian as a male star.
Chen Qili smiled and said: "That's no problem! Later, you can go over and take your precious daughter to toast Mr. Shi with a few glasses of wine and some dishes, and then I'll help you make peace with him. Maybe your daughter can directly
Fly to Hong Kong and become a star!"
"Really?" The female boss took it seriously, "Then I will go find Ai Jia now and ask her to come back as soon as possible!"
"Huh?" Chen Qili knew the joke was too big.
But the landlady had already put down the food bowl and gone to look for her daughter.
…
A moment.
Chen Qili brought the prepared Teppanyaki to the table, then took off his apron and said to Shi Zhijian: "Why haven't you started yet? You should eat and drink!"
After saying that, he opened a can of beer with his own hands and handed it to Shi Zhijian. He opened another can and handed it to Chen Yaotai and said, "My Teppanyaki is a bit special. I rinse my mouth with beer and drink it with white wine!"
He opened the sorghum wine and poured a glass each for Shi Zhijian and Chen Yaotai.
Shi Zhijian smiled and took the beer first. When Chen Qili stopped, he also picked up the beer. The three of them clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp!
This counts as the opening drink.
Immediately, Shi Zhijian picked up a black suitcase on the ground, picked it up and pushed it to Chen Qili and said, "Thank you for your help!"
Chen Qili was not polite. He took the suitcase and opened it. He saw that it was full of brand-new banknotes, neatly numbered.
"Count it, there are three hundred thousand in total!"
"It seems a bit much!" Chen Qili closed the box and looked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Teppanyaki and threw it into his mouth: "Is that much? Boss Chen, your Teppanyaki skills are worth the price!"
Although it was a joke, it made Chen Qili very happy.
In fact, if he is not a gang leader, he would most like to be a chef. Seeing others taste his food and praise it is an indescribable enjoyment.
"Mr. Shi, let's not say much else. I have made an appointment with Chen to be your friend! Come, have a drink!" Chen Qili held up the sorghum wine.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly and picked up the liquor.
Chen Yaotai picked up the wine and thought that it was Mr. Chen and Mr. Shi who made friends and clinked glasses. Who was he? So he put it down again.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qili glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why don't you give up? Why, you look down on me?"
Chen Yaotai was so busy that he picked up the liquor again and said with a playful smile: "No! I just want to clink glasses with you alone later! I heard from my uncle that Mr. Chen, you have a great drinking capacity, I want to try it!"
"Your uncle?"
"Japanese Hong Kong Gang, Chen Huwang!"
"Chen Huwang? Are you his nephew?" Chen Qili was surprised.
"Why, do you know my uncle?" Chen Yaotai was also surprised.
Chen Qili smiled, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang the dining table, swore: "Fuck! We don't know each other anymore! My surname is Chen, and your surname is Chen, do you think we know each other?"
Chen Yaotai blinked: "Then I should call you——"
"In terms of seniority, you call me uncle!"
"Pfft!" Chen Yaotai spit out a mouthful of wine.
"This kid! This is how you react when you meet your uncle?" Chen Qili scolded.
"No, I'm just...too excited!"
Chen Qili is twenty-eight years old!
Chen Yaotai is only four or five years younger than him, but she wants to call him uncle. How can it be so embarrassing?!
Seeing Chen Yaotai's face twisted, he looked reluctant.
Chen Qili opened the box directly, grabbed a few wads of banknotes and threw them to Chen Yaotai: "This is the first time we meet, and my uncle doesn't have anything to give you. Use this little money! Just treat it as a meeting gift!"
Chen Yaotai was stunned. When he came to his senses, he immediately caught the money: "Uncle, is this inappropriate?" He stuffed the money into his pocket, "Uncle, to be honest, I don't care at all.
Greedy for money! Uncle, I am a well-educated person! Uncle, what do you want me to do in the future? Uncle, come, let me have a drink with you!"
Chen Yaotai, who was reluctant just now, kept saying "Uncle" every time, not to mention how affectionate he was.
…
After three rounds of drinking.
"Mr. Shi, since you rewarded so much at once, you must have other things to do, right?" Chen Qili got straight to the point, put down his wine glass and looked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian also put down his wine glass, "The Zhan brothers are not easy to mess with, I have realized that! As a foreigner, I have no relatives and friends here, and the only one I can rely on is you, Brother Chen!"
Chen Qili picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table: "Mr. Shi's words are very polite! We Jianghu people, at best, are called green forest heroes, at worst, we are Jianghu people begging for food, almost like beggars! Others are juggling, walking on tightropes, and their chests are broken.
Dashi, we lick the blood from our swords and work hard to make money! As long as the price is right and it doesn't harm the world, I can do whatever you want!"
"Thieves have their ways! I understand this!" Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette and handed it over.
Chen Qili took the cigarette and bit it on his mouth. Chen Yaotai quickly took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for him.
Chen Qili smiled. He had drunk too much wine. He opened his suitcase and took out a bunch of wine and threw it to Chen Yaotai.
Chen Yaotai smiled happily and said, "Uncle, what you are doing is really...I am speechless!" He quickly stuffed the money into his pocket!
Shi Zhijian took a drag on his cigarette and then said: "Actually, I don't have anything big to ask you to do, I just want you to do me a favor!"
As he was talking, Shi Zhijian went over and said a few words to Chen Qili.
Chen Qili's expression was normal at first, then gradually became solid, and then relaxed again. He looked at Shi Zhijian with admiration in his eyes: "Mr. Shi, your move is quite cruel!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "What does it mean to be cruel? I'm just protecting myself!"
Chen Qili stopped talking and seemed to be still thinking about Shi Zhijian's words. The more he thought about it, the more thrilling he felt.
Just then, the landlady came back, bringing a little girl with her. She shouted from afar: "Mr. Chen, I brought our Ai Jia back and asked her to toast you a few glasses of wine!"
