This morning, I had nothing to do.

Bai Chengze walked around Chinatown, going in circles, and finally stopped at a noodle shop.

This noodle shop is the one where he applied for a job, and it's called"Zhang Ji Noodle Shop".

The boss, Zhang Guoqing, is an old man over sixty years old and is an honest and honest man.

Not only is Uncle Zhang a nice person, he is also good at making noodles, and the prices are very reasonable.

These days, Bai Chengze often visits this store.

He came to the store, nodded to Uncle Zhang and said hello, and ordered a bowl of noodles as usual.

The noodles were served quickly. The soup noodles were the same color, with a pinch of green onion and coriander sprinkled on top, which was so green.

Bai Chengze blew in the steaming hot air and put a chopstick of noodles into his mouth.

Then, he put down his chopsticks, covered one cheek, and gasped"hisssssssss"

"oops!"The boss, Uncle Zhang, hurried to Bai Chengze's side and gently stroked his back with his big, calloused hands,"Why are you eating in such a hurry? Are you burned?"

"No," Bai Chengze looked painful and waved his hand towards Uncle Zhang,"There is something wrong with his tongue."

"let me see."

Uncle Zhang pinched Bai Chengze's cheeks and examined them carefully.

Bai Chengze stuck out his tongue and hesitated.

""Tsk, tsk, tsk," Uncle Zhang shook his head and said distressedly,"Why is it swollen like this?" What got you caught?"

"by...a crab……"Bai Chengze's eyes dodge

"A crab?"Uncle Zhang frowned, his face full of confusion.

"That's right, it was caused by eating seafood anyway," Bai Chengze gasped,"Don't ask, Uncle Zhang."

Of course Uncle Zhang didn't know what Bai Chengze ate secretly.

He shook his head helplessly,"You kid, why did you say you had nothing to do with it?"

Bai Chengze was also very depressed.

How could he have thought that he would be hit by a bomb after eating seafood?

It was simply an unforeseen disaster, a sudden disaster.

Uncle Zhang came behind the counter, rummaged through the cabinets, took out two capsules of watermelon cream, and stuffed it into Bai Chengze's mouth,"Hold it for a while. It will be better."

Bai Chengze nodded with the pill in his mouth.

Uncle Zhang looked at him and smiled honestly.

When he left his hometown, his son was as old as Bai Chengze is now.

Therefore, every time he saw Bai Chengze, he always There is a sense of trance, as if seeing one's own child.

Maybe this is what is called seeing things.

The two of them sat in the store speechlessly. Zhang Guoqing held a fly swatter in his mouth.

Driving away the mosquitoes.

Outside, two young men with flat heads opened the door and walked in.

One of them came to the freezer unceremoniously and took out two bottles of Coke without anyone noticing. The young man came to Uncle Zhang, rubbed his two fingers at him, and said sternly:"Hey, old man, is it time to pay the protection fee this month?"

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Guoqing stood up with a flattering smile on his face, went behind the counter, and took out a small wad of banknotes.

The scar-faced young man took the banknotes, licked a finger, and quickly counted the money.

Then, his face darkened, and he shook the Shaking his head,"Not enough"

"ah? Zhang Guoqing became nervous,"This is one hundred thousand won, I ordered it.""

The exchange rate at that time was 100:1, and one hundred thousand won was equivalent to 1,000 RMB.

"I know," Scarface put the money into his arms,"The rules have changed. From now on, you have to pay 150,000 yuan a month."

"This..."

After hearing this, Zhang Guoqing was at a loss for a moment,"Is that correct? It was always 100,000 yuan, why did it become 150,000 yuan again?"

"What the boss said, stop talking nonsense and don't embarrass us two."

Scar's face didn't look very good. He hooked his hand at Zhang Guoqing and motioned for him to hand over the money.

Zhang Guoqing was a little helpless,"Business has been very bad recently. We still have to live. We pay so much every month. How can you survive it?"

Scarface frowned,"Then you've made it clear that you're going to have trouble with us?"

Zhang Guoqing saw that the other party was angry, and his attitude softened instantly,"Well..."

He reluctantly came to the counter, counted out 50,000 Korean won from the drawer, and came to Scarface again.

Seeing the money, Scarface was quite satisfied. After a rough counting, he folded the bills and put them in his arms.

He patted Zhang Guoqing on the shoulder and smiled,"Old man, you are quite sensible."

After that, Scarface waved to his other companion.

The two turned around and walked out of the store.

Zhang Guoqing was dejected and his face was gloomy. He smiled bitterly at Bai Chengze and sighed,"Oh…"

"Who are they?"Bai Chengze asked

"The Viper Gang is a group of Chao Xian underworld that collects protection fees on this street." Zhang Guoqing explained.

Bai Chengze nodded, thoughtfully.

Although this Chinatown is not big, there is an undercurrent surging underneath.

There are four gangs on the street. In addition to the local Chunzhi Gang, the other three are From the Chao Xian ethnic group, they are the Viper Gang, the Tiger Gang, and the Yixiu Gang.

In addition to running some illegal businesses, these three gangs also occupy a part of the land and collect a fixed amount of protection from the merchants on the street every month.

The merchants were miserable, but there was nothing they could do about it. Even the local police station turned a blind eye.

"Why not ask the Chamber of Commerce for help?"Bai Chengze asked

"Jiaodong Gang? Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head,"How can the Chamber of Commerce help?"

Bai Chengze's eyes were firm,"You are members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce should be responsible for you.""

"You," Zhang Guoqing sighed,"you are still too young!"

He knew that even if he found the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce would only give him a few words of comfort, and it would be useless.

Bai Chengze did not give up and continued to give Zhang Guoqing advice:"You guys work together and ask the Chamber of Commerce for an explanation. , put a little pressure on the Chamber of Commerce. Only in this way will the Chamber of Commerce make a difference. Seeing that

Zhang Guoqing didn't reply, Bai Chengze persuaded again:"How will you know if you don't try?""

"decide as things go."Zhang Guoqing's answer was ambiguous.

Bai Chengze didn't say any more. He counted out a few bills, put them under the bowl, picked up his coat, nodded to Zhang Guoqing, then opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Guoqing sat blankly for a while, and then stood up The old man put the towel on his shoulders and cleared the table.

Bai Chengze only took a few bites of the bowl of noodles, and there was still a lot left in the bowl. Zhang Guoqing picked up the noodle bowl and looked at the pile of banknotes on the table.

He put down the bowl, picked up the money on the table and counted it.

The amount was obviously wrong. It was definitely over ten thousand.

Bai Chengze must have given it more on purpose.

"This kid!"

Zhang Guoqing clutched the money and quickly opened the door and came to the street.

Looking around, he saw the bustle of China Street, but Bai Chengze had long disappeared.
