Joe's Farming

The next morning, the ship arrived at the first pier in Nanzhou.

This place is called Haitang Town.

The place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. The two families plan to stay here for a day and leave at night.

Although the weather gets hotter as you go south, Nanzhou is not affected by drought, so it is not dry and hot, and it is more comfortable than Qingzhou.

There is a coconut chicken restaurant opened by Xu Yuan and Qiao Yu next to the Haitang Town Pier.

The restaurant also sells breakfast, which is a variety of modified clear soup noodles and rice noodles.

There are also small wontons, with seaweed and dried shrimp in the soup, which is very delicious.

As soon as Xu Yuan showed his head, he was caught by his own steward.

"Master, why are you here? ...Mr. Qiao, you are here too."

This manager was selected by Xu Yuan from among the people of Yipinxuan, so he naturally recognized Qiao Yu.

"Our two families are planning to go to Nanyang, and we just happened to stop by to visit." Xu Yuan said.

The steward hurriedly asked the waiter to take them to the private room on the second floor.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "No need, just on the first floor."

Haitang Town is built on the mountain and almost all of the buildings are made of wood. The view from the first floor is very good.

They had been on the boat all day and now they felt down to earth and a little light-hearted.

Especially the little ones, they were still dizzy when they first got off the boat.

It is also a special experience.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng took the children to wash their hands before sitting in the seat chosen by Xu Yuan by the window.

The business in the store was average at this time of year, but the arrival of the two families made the store seem a little more lively.

Qiao Yu ordered a bowl of chicken rice noodles and specifically asked the chef to add some basil.

Last time I bought some seeds in Nanyang, but maybe because they were not bred and were directly scattered in the soil, only a few plants grew, and they were all pulled out after a stir-fry with chicken.

The children basically ordered mini wontons.

Xu Ning and Gu Feng ordered a bowl of pork noodles and a bowl of chicken rice noodles.

Xu Yuan ordered a serving of fish balls from the shop next door, which is a classic breakfast for the locals.

Various kinds of fish, including meat and bones, are pounded into a paste with seasonings and cooked into fish balls. When eating, add a bowl of broth and sprinkle some coriander, chopped green onion and soy sauce.

Waiting for it to be delivered next door.

Qiao Yu and Xu Ning asked at the same time: "Can I try it?"

Xu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Make a gesture of invitation: "Have a try."

Qiao Yu scooped one for herself with a clean spoon.

Maybe he has high requirements and felt the taste was a bit average.

The fishy smell is still a bit strong.

But such a portion was only five cents, so he felt that he couldn't ask for too much.

After all, fish is also meat.

Xu Ning said in a flattering tone: "Husband, it tastes good."

However, Xu Yuan had grown up in luxury, so he didn't want to eat it after taking a bite.

In the end, the little ones wanted to try something new, so they each ordered a fish ball.

Of course, Xie Tianyu didn't eat it.

He thought the wontons tasted pretty good.

After breakfast, Gu Feng and Xu Ning were responsible for taking the children for a stroll.

Qiao Yu and Xu Yuan went to the second floor and held a meeting with the chef.

"We can put some chili sauce, onions, garlic, mint, basil and other condiments on the tables in our store, so that customers can add them themselves. This way we can meet the needs of different people..."

"Where's the boss! Come out!"

Qiao Yu was interrupted by a loud shout from downstairs when she was halfway through her speech.

Xu Yuan said unhappily: "What's going on?"

The steward looked a little flustered and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Master, please forgive me, I didn't mean to hide it..."

The manager briefly told the store about the recent incident of thugs collecting protection money.

It just started in the last month and is said to be a new gang in town called the Black Tiger Gang.

"I thought as long as business could go on as usual, I didn't mention this to you."

Xu Yuan and Qiao Yu had already stood up and were walking downstairs, and the steward followed behind them tremblingly.

As they walked, Qiao Yu said, "If you encounter something like this in the future, tell us immediately."

Because this may not be a simple case of hooligans causing trouble, it may also be a malicious act by competitors.

For the former, it is possible that you can collect more and more.

The latter is likely to have a backup plan.

No matter which one it is, it’s not as if you can just obey and pay the money and the matter will be over.

As they went downstairs, the group of thugs were still shouting. Fortunately, Gu Feng and Xu Ning left guards here.

They stood in a row at the store door, blocking the troublemakers from entering the store.

They were so angry that they started cursing outside the store.

After Qiao Yu and Xu Yuan appeared.

They were quiet for a while.

Then the curse became even more unpleasant.

Especially seeing that Qiao Yu was a boy, insulting words popped out one after another.

Qiao Yu hadn't heard such words for a long time.

If he were a teenager, he might have been scolded to tears.

Unfortunately, he is already over thirty years old, and the insults from these people do not hurt him at all.

This made Tiezhu and Chen Han very angry.

"Boss, I can't stand it anymore!"

Dazhu said this and wanted to rush up to fight.

Before leaving, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng repeatedly warned them not to cause trouble when outside, but they could be scolded themselves but not their boss.

Qiao Yu shouted, "Come back! They are just a bunch of animals barking, why are you arguing with them?"

Xu Yuan: "Yeah! Just because a monkey puts on clothes, does it think it's a human? Ridiculous."

Qiao Yu and Xu Yuan spoke slowly and calmly, without any sign of cursing.

But everyone around who was watching the fun immediately burst into laughter.

"Fuck you, you two pretty boys, say that again!!"

The burly man who seemed to be the leader of the troublemakers pointed at Qiao Yu and Xu Yuan and shouted.

Qiao Yu: "Ayuan, it's ok that this beast is blind, but why is it also deaf? All it knows how to do is bark, it's so noisy!"

Xu Yuan: ...

I didn’t expect Brother Qiao to be so good at talking.

"you……"

The man was about to rush up and hit someone, so Dazhu and the others quickly stood in front of Qiao Yu.

The manager quickly stepped forward to stop the fight.

"Master Yang! Master Yang! This is our host. We are new here and we are all friends. Please don't hurt the harmony."

"Okay, you're the boss, right? Brothers, smash it!"

There were five or six people following behind him, all of whom looked reckless.

Hearing this, he rushed into the store.

The guards rushed to stop them, and soon the two sides started fighting.

The customers in the store who had just been laughing and eating melons, now all ran out.

Xu Yuan hurriedly said loudly: "I'm sorry, my guests, this meal is for you. I'll give you 20% off next time you come!"

Qiao Yu hurriedly pulled Xu Yuan aside and away from the fighting crowd.

"Don't worry about the guests, safety first!"

The fists and feet were useless, and the manager even got a black eye.

Qiao Yu quickly asked the shop assistant to go out and report to the police.

Unexpectedly, the person had not walked far when the onlookers screamed.

"Ah~~~ Murder! Murder!"
