That night, Comrade Xu arranged for Li Xiaoshan to get a room in the hotel where they were staying. The next day, he returned the van he had rented before, and then took Li Xiaoshan to the airport to buy tickets and prepare to leave Fog City and return to Shuiniao City.
As for his original plan to buy two more formulas?
It was temporarily canceled.
After all, they beat up three gangsters last night, and no one could tell whether anyone would come to take revenge.
As for Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing, they are both outsiders with no roots in Wudu. It would be too risky for them to stay here and go head-to-head with the local gangsters.
Buy a ticket, board the plane, and return to Mizutori City...
Everything went smoothly.
Even when Li Xiaoshan entered the airport, especially when he boarded the plane, his emotions were a bit complicated and he couldn't help but look back. Until the plane had already taken off in the sky, Li Xiaoshan still couldn't help but lower his head to look at the city below, the city with another name.
"Fog City" city.
Comrade Xu saw this and didn't offer much comfort, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
He understood the feeling of leaving home.
In the original time and space, he also went to other places to hang out.
And the feeling of going to another place to seek life... just echoes the old saying: people are cheap when they leave their hometown.
Everything is strange, a strange city, a strange accent, strange customs...etc., everything will remind you from time to time - your roots are not here, you are a foreigner.
If you can just hang around the better, that's it. If you hang around and still see no hope, then the loneliness in your heart will grow day by day.
This was how Comrade Xu felt when he was looking for a living outside.
Now, he hopes Li Xiaoshan can have another feeling.
I also have the confidence to give Li Xiaoshan another feeling.
This time he came to Wudu and bought four hot pot recipes. Coupled with Li Xiaoshan's experience as a chef for several years, Xu Tongdao believed that he would be able to open a hot pot restaurant when he returned to Shuiniao City this time.
…
Coming out of the airport in Shuiniao City, Li Xiaoshan looked around, taking in this strange city and the strange people.
He followed Tongdao Xu and Zheng Qing to the exit of the airport, and saw a dark-skinned, strong and tall young man walking towards him. He showed his white teeth when he smiled, and spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaodao! Zheng Qing! You guys are going out to stay this time.
It took so long! Haha, you are finally back today, eh? Who is this?"
The man looked at Li Xiaoshan with piercing eyes.
Li Xiaoshan subconsciously looked at Xu Tongdao, and then looked at the man's face. He felt that this man looked similar to Xu Tongdao, especially the face, which was 67% similar.
He suspected that this man was Xu Tongdao's brother, the kind of person he was close to.
Xu Tongdao smiled and introduced them. Li Xiaoshan then knew that this man's name was Ge Lianghua, nicknamed "Rooster", and he was Xu Tongdao's cousin.
Cousin, cousin actually looks so similar?
When Ge Lianghua, Xu Tongdao and the others boarded the van, Li Xiaoshan couldn't help but look at the faces of Ge Lianghua and Xu Tongdao several times.
So similar!
This is also the feeling that everyone feels when they see these two cousins for the first time. Their facial features look so similar.
After getting on the bus, Comrade Xu did not ask Ge Lianghua about the recent operating conditions of all Internet cafes, because although he was in Wudu these days, he would take time to talk to Ge Lianghua on the phone every night. The 8 Internet cafes under his name and those in Shazhou County
What's going on at Daolin's BBQ recently? He gets reports from Ge Lianghua every day.
This was also one of the reasons why he chose to take Zheng Qing with him instead of Ge Lianghua when he went to Fog City this time.
In fact, in terms of fighting and skill, Ge Lianghua is not necessarily weaker than Zheng Qing.
But in terms of caring level, in Xu Tongdao's heart, Zheng Qing is definitely not as considerate as his cousin Ge Lianghua.
To put it simply: He would feel more at ease if Ge Lianghua was left to take care of the business of the Internet cafe and barbecue restaurant.
Facts also proved that Ge Lianghua lived up to his trust. During his visit to Wudu, everything went well at the Internet cafe and nothing happened at the barbecue restaurant.
The only bad news was what Tongdao Xu had expected.
——As schools began to go on summer vacation, the business of the eight Internet cafes under his name declined to varying degrees.
Some have dropped by 30% to 40%, some have dropped by 40% to 50%, and some have not dropped much, such as the 8 Ximendao Internet Cafe opened near the No. 10 Middle School in Shuiniao City.
The recent business of this Internet cafe has not declined with the arrival of summer vacation, and has even become better.
Those middle school students who are on vacation seem to have more time to spend in Internet cafes.
In contrast, other Internet cafes opened near universities and art schools have seen a significant decline in business as the summer vacation approaches and as students from all over the world go home for the holidays.
When I heard Ge Lianghua talk about this situation on the phone a few days ago, Comrade Xu's inner feelings were hard to explain to outsiders.
He has never wanted to open an Internet cafe near a middle school in Mizutori City, because he just doesn't want to harm these students and affect their future.
But...this summer vacation, these middle school students are so supportive of his business...
Doesn't this shake his previous decision?
That night, in order to welcome Li Xiaoshan, Comrade Xu found a restaurant near the Naval University, ordered a table of dishes, and everyone ate and drank together.
The people accompanying him included Zheng Qing, Ge Lianghua, and cousin Tan Shi.
As for the small-waisted Dong Feifei?
Although they had slept together before he went to Fog City, Comrade Xu still didn't call her for tonight's meal.
Because she also went home for the holidays.
By the way, during the vacation, she deliberately stayed at school for a few more days, hoping to wait for him to come back.
But every night when he talked to Xu on the phone, Xu said that he couldn't come back yet and asked her to go home first.
After waiting for a few days, she saw that Comrade Xu still said the same thing, so she sighed, changed her mind, and bought a ticket to go home.
…
After drinking a few bottles of beer, Li Xiaoshan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xu, I'm here with you now. Can I ask, when is the hot pot restaurant you mentioned going to open? What do I think?"
When can I go to work?"
This topic is business.
Ge Lianghua, Zheng Qing, and Tan Shi all subconsciously stopped chatting and, like Li Xiaoshan, looked at Comrade Xu.
They had known for a long time that Xu Tongdao wanted to open a hotpot restaurant, but they didn't know exactly when Xu Tongdao planned to open it, and they were also curious.
Tongdao Xu stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Tan Shi, "Sister, I recently asked you to help me inquire about the stores in Datong Food Street. How is your inquiry going? Is there a suitable store there now? The rent.
How much is it approximately?"
He had left this matter to Tan Shi before he went to Fog City.
Datong Food Street is the most famous food street in Mizutori City and has a history of several decades.
In the memory of Xu Tongdao's previous life, in the next two to three years, or at most three years, there will be a new shopping pedestrian street next to the food street.
By then, the two adjacent streets will be the first choice for eating, drinking, having fun and shopping in Mizutori City.
It was really popular. Until he was reborn, the popularity of those two streets did not decrease by half.
