No.18 Years of Waking of Insects

Xishuang Street, Fansi.

Lu Jinghong staggered the man upstairs and threw him on the bed when Cai Hua, the only clerk in the shop, appeared at the door.

Cai Hua glanced at the flushed person on the eye bed, then at Lu Jinghong who was out of breath, and smiled inexplicably.My boss went out to listen to a play in the middle of the night, but brought back a drunken strange man. No matter how you look at it, it is not normal.

When Lu Jinghong saw Cai Hua, he rushed out the door immediately, and ordered: "Well, he drank too much, show him. I'll go to bed first." Lu Jinghong walked back to his room quickly, and then closed the door tightly. Strictly.

Cai Hua looked at the door of the boss's room, then walked to the bed in doubt, only to see a large amount of blood on the man's chest.

What's wrong with him, is this... drinking alcohol and causing internal bleeding?

On the afternoon of the third day, the sun was just right.

Cai Hua had just changed the medicine for the man upstairs who was still in a coma and his wounds had worsened due to drinking, when there was a sound of calling from downstairs.

He immediately closed the door and went downstairs, and saw a middle-aged woman in a plain cheongsam carrying a black suitcase standing outside the door of 'Fansi'.

"Hey, San Niang is here." Cai Hua greeted the woman in the cheongsam with a respectful face, and handed her a cup of tea.

Yu Sanniang put the suitcase on the oil-wood table, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to find your boss today, just ask him to come out."

"This... the boss is taking a lunch break in the room right now, I'm afraid it won't work." Cai Hua immediately showed embarrassment.

"Boss Lu is not a busy person. It's already past the lunch break. Shouldn't he be invited down to do business?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to give up, Cai Hua originally wanted to go upstairs to report and take a look, but then remembered that the boss had said before lunch break that no outsiders were allowed to disturb her, so she didn't know whether to leave or not.

Seeing him hanging his head and refusing to move, Yu Sanniang glanced contemptuously, and walked up the stairs by herself: "Look at your cowardice, will Lu Jinghong eat you up? Come on, let me go personally Ask your boss to come down."

He wanted to stop it, but before Yu Sanniang finished walking the ladder, the door on the second floor opened with a 'creak' sound.

Yu Sanniang stopped and raised her head to see the gray robe in front of the door, and said with a smile, "Boss Lu, don't come here without any problems."

"Thanks to Sanniang, I lost my lunch break and made more money. Lu is naturally fine."

Lu Jinghong walked downstairs with a smile in his eyes, still wearing the top hat on his head, and when he passed by Yu Sanniang, he asked, "I don't know why Sanniang is here this time?"

"Boss Lu, this time I'm here... not for others, but for myself." Yu Sanniang followed his steps and sat down at the oil-wood table.

Lu Jinghong caught a glimpse of the black leather case on the table, opened it without hesitation, looked at the contents inside and said, "Oh, San Niang is really generous this time, I have never seen you like this before. Be generous."

Cai Hua, who was standing aside, was even more dumbfounded when she saw the box full of gold bars. When did the boss actually earn so much money at once in business.

"Boss Lu, this is my savings for many years. Now that I offer it all up, it naturally shows that I have reached the point where I have nowhere to go."

Lu Jinghong immediately asked with interest: "Oh? I don't know what kind of trouble Sanniang has encountered?"

Seeing him asking herself this question, Yu Sanniang was a little hard to speak, but after thinking about it, she replied: "Since we are all doing business, it's not easy to hide it from Boss Lu. I have been waiting for someone for 20 years. Now, he Finally came back to find me."

Lu Jinghong looked at Yu Sanniang's face that did not hide the joy and excitement at all, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.Although he doesn't know Yu Sanniang's temperament very well, it is undeniable that she is indeed a person who values ​​affection. There are always intermittent rumors that she has been waiting for someone in Rongcheng, but he did not expect that this kind of waiting is 20 years.

"That's really congratulations." Lu Jinghong replied with a smile, "But it's nothing to do with me. Could it be that Sanniang wants to pay a lot of money to invite me to witness the fruition of your love for many years?" He said Closing the box, turning it towards Yu Sanniang, he said to himself, "If that's the case, then there's no need, just buy me a glass of wedding wine when you get married, there's really no need..."

Yu Sanniang immediately interrupted, and said with a serious face: "Boss Lu, you may not believe it, but this incident did happen to me, or in other words, it happened to the person I love the most. .”

Lu Jinghong felt that her expression became weird, so he stopped smiling, followed what she said, and asked, "Then tell me, what's the matter."

"He's changed... no, it should be said... he hasn't changed. But he, he seems to have become..."

"Sanniang, what you say gives me a real headache." Listening to her incoherent words, Lu Jinghong's face twitched unavoidably, and he interrupted directly.

Yu Sanniang calmed down, and said softly: "To be precise, his appearance has not changed. He really looks exactly the same as when he left that year. I thought it was unbelievable at first, but then I thought of you."

"I?"

"Yes. You are a skin painter. Maybe he has met someone like you before. After painting the skin, he changed back to his youthful appearance." Yu Sanniang lowered her eyes and continued, "He said, as long as I have this face Also change back to the youthful appearance, take me to Shanghai and be together forever."

Lu Jinghong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Haha, Sanniang, you can be regarded as the old mother of Qinghuanmen. Without you, the girls of Qinghuanmen would have a difficult life. Thinking of So many delicate and lovely girls are about to go their separate ways, I really feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

Lu Jinghong looked at Cai Hua who was on the side, and asked by the way, "You think so, Xiao Hua?"

"..." Although Cai Hua didn't like the boss calling her by that name, she could only nod with a smile on her face and said, "Yes, yes."

Lu Jinghong poured a cup of tea quite satisfied, and said: "However, I heard that in recent years, Mr. Liu Meisheng Liu in Tsingyi House has become very famous. I'm afraid that if you go Sanniang, all the sons and daughters of the family in Rongcheng will be very famous in the future." They are all hanging around in Tsing Yi House."

"Boss Lu, if you really don't want to do this business, you can just say so, why bother to slander our Qinghuanmen with that out-of-the-ordinary troupe?" Yu Sanniang looked at Lu Jinghong jokingly and said a lot, I couldn't help being a little annoyed in my heart, and then said with a sneer, "How can I say that Qinghuanmen is also the largest dance hall in Rongcheng, how can I let it just disappear. Don't worry, we have already found a sponsor. After I leave, Qinghuanmen is still a signboard for the entertainment and entertainment of the upper class in Rongcheng."

Lu Jinghong suddenly remembered that in recent years, Tsing Yi House and Qing Huan Men have indeed had some disagreements, but it's funny to think about it now, after all, they have always been competing for profit, but this one is a dance hall with drunken money, and the other is a babbling theater , but can always fight to the death in the business field.

"Forget it, I don't want to ask you about these things. But..." He looked up at Yu Sanniang, and suddenly said very seriously, "Maybe Sanniang still doesn't know how I, Mr. Lu, do business."

Yu Sanniang was puzzled, how could she have found many clients for him before, although she had never understood the detailed process of painting skin, but they all did things for money.

Lu Jinghong took a sip of tea, and continued: "One, I only paint skins for virgin girls. Two, I won't want your ugly or aging skins like other low-level skin painters. I always only accept one A small amount of money and a vial of a customer's virgin blood. So, there are no exceptions to either, you understand?"

Hearing this, Yu Sanniang said in a negotiating tone: "It seems that I was careless before, but... Boss Lu, you can see from our friendship for many years. After the painting skin is completed, I will help you get the place. Blood. In this way, it is according to my heart and yours. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Sanniang deserves to be the winner who made Qinghuanmen big with one hand. She really knows how to do business. It's a pity that abiding by principles is the only strength in my whole body, Lu Jinghong."

After saying that, Lu Jinghong stood up and told Cai Hua, "Xiao Hua, see off the guests."

Cai Hua immediately walked to Yu Sanniang's side and helped lift the black suitcase.

"San Niang, please."

Yu Sanniang knew very well that Lu Jinghong could not see her for three years if she was stubborn, so she begged for mercy: "Boss Lu, I have always regarded you as a noble person, and I hope you can really sell me this favor."

"Then thank you Sanniang for your praise, but no one can change what I, Lu Jinghong, have decided. But..." He paused and continued, "If Sanniang really thinks highly of me, why not tell me who your lover is? I'd be interested to see you."

Yu Sanniang saw that there was no room for discussion on this matter, so she didn't bother to compliment him, and said coldly, "I don't think so, he doesn't want to meet strangers. Since Boss Lu doesn't want to do this business, let's let it go Bar."

Then he stood up and walked out of 'Fansi' without looking back.

Cai Hua sent her out of the alley before turning back. He had just poured a glass of water and took half a sip when he heard Lu Jinghong's voice.

"Xiaohua, go find out who her lover is."

Cai Hua almost choked on the water: "It's not good, boss. It's like I'm a secret agent. I'm a good citizen who abides by the law."

"Oh, agent?" Lu Jinghong rolled his eyes at him and asked back, "Have you ever seen such a stupid agent like you?"

"No." Cai Hua thought for a while, and answered honestly, "But since I'm stupid, why would the boss..."

"Only people who seem stupid can do things for me. Besides, I just asked you to inquire about someone, and you have the right to collect gossip." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked upstairs, and then added, "The old rules tonight , Five Elements Raw Fish Soup."

Cai Hua pursed her lips and said nothing. The boss's taste is quite unique, and he would eat five elements raw fish soup every now and then.

This soup uses three kinds of traditional Chinese medicines including Panax notoginseng, dried ginger, double flower, bletilla striata and scrophulariaceae mixed with a little rock sugar to make a soup. After washing, put it into the pot, pour in the medicinal soup and simmer for three hours on low heat, and then take it out of the pot.

Only the boss can come up with this kind of dish and eat it calmly, but the most jaw-dropping thing is... Two spoonfuls of human blood are added to the soup. Deeply felt a chill rising from behind.

Lu Jinghong always said that this dish is very nourishing, but he doesn't understand why the boss has kidney deficiency at the age of 25 or [-].

Cai Hua was full of complaints, but she had no choice but to find a vegetable basket in the kitchen, and went out with it like a resentful woman.
