Chapter 34: How Difficult People's Livelihood Is

Xue Xiangzao was so greedy that he smiled and agreed a few words. Then he took the chopsticks and attacked the bowl of oily, fragrant, half colorful and half green and green donkey mixed cakes in front of him.

As soon as the soup was wrapped in the pancake, Xue Xiang felt his tongue jump up. It seemed that in an instant, all the taste buds were activated, strong fragrance, spicy, numb, and vigorous. This wonderful taste immediately made the greed in his stomach rebell.

At that moment, Xue Xiang picked up the chopsticks, opened his mouth, and it was like swallowing a river. Huh, and in a flash, most of it went down.

The old man there had just sent away a table of guests. Seeing Xue Xiang eating sweetly, he was happy and said, "Comrade, I still have the five-spice donkey meat made from the secret local arts. Do you want to come some?"

Xue Laosan hurriedly put down the bowl, "Come two pounds, this donkey mixed Hula Seed Bread, and you will also serve two more bowls!"

Xue Laosan encountered countless delicious foods in his life, but today he was the most eye-opener.

The old man waved his hand to greet the old woman to prepare the materials and said happily: "I have seen that the comrade is a big belly man, but we have enough Hu La Seed Bread, but there is not much five-spice donkey meat. This is the sign of the old man. Some customers are just here to come, so they can't give up so much. Seeing that the comrade is generous and is a foreign customer, he can only give up half a pound of you at most."

"Chengcheng, self-management, self-management!"

Speaking, Xue Xiang launched an attack on Haiwan again.

Now, he didn't eat it anymore. Although he was chewing, he ate very slowly. He was waiting for the food from the old man to pick it up.

Sure enough, when he just put down the bowl, two bowls of Hu La Seed Bread and a plate of clear five-spice donkey meat arrived.

Now, Xue Xiang's speed of eating soared again, and after a moment, he cleared two bowls and plates.

Seeing that he was eating sweetly, the old man was also happy and smiled and said, "The guests are so good at eating. When I was young, I could eat it so well, but time has never forgiven me. Now I can hold up half a pound of donkey meat. It is a great blessing to be young!"

Xue Xiang laughed and said, "Old man, the meal has been finished. Can you take a rest here? I think it's your place to be cool!"

As he spoke, he handed over a book to take over. He was an old problem and couldn't figure out the price of the food. He handed over the biggest money. He thought that three bowls of Hula Seed Bread and half a pound of donkey meat would be about the same price.

The old man took the money and then brought out a box full of red and copper rust. While rummaging inside, he said happily: "Look at what you said. You said you still had a meal with my old man, but you didn't eat, and passers-by would take a break, so you could do it." After that, he shouted: "Call, serve tea to this little comrade, a big bowl!"

After shouting, the old man lit up the change he took out one by one. After ordering it three times, he handed it to Xue Xiang. "Give it, this is the six-yuan six-yuan we are looking for you!"

Xue Xiang was surprised, "Old man, it's not that I'm wrong. I ate a lot, and I only cost three or four cents."

The old man heard that he was affordable here, and his grin revealed two rows of white teeth that even young people might not have, and said, "That's right, comrade, a bowl of Hu La Seed Cake costs 80 cents, half a pound of donkey meat is one dollar, three bowls of Hu La Seed Cakes, and half a pound of donkey meat is three or four cents!"

Xue Xiang took the money and said, "Old man, you can't make much money by selling according to your method!"

The old man smiled and said, "The sesame cake is made from home, just to spend some flour. The main ingredients of the soup are donkey mixed. This donkey is something that no one wants to pick up when I get it. My old man basically has no money to collect, and only donkey meat costs a little. In general, it's a lot of money!"

"Cough, cough!" The old woman who was cleaning up the chopping board suddenly started to cough.

The old man said, "You cough and you still have a lot of money. Look at your stingyness. Could it be that you are afraid that the little comrade will listen and come and compete for business with us? What's your look? People can like this!"

Xue Xiang knew that the old woman was taboo, so he didn't follow her and changed the topic and asked where the old man was, his family income, and local anecdotes.

Of course, Xue Laosan would not ask directly, but would attack indirectly.

He has many experience in visiting grassroots in Xiaoshan and knows how to talk to grassroots people. After a while, he chats with the old man in full swing. Even when the old man serves new customers, he never stops.

The two of them were talking so hard that they suddenly became surprised.

"Old Diao Nu, let me say something more. Believe it or not, I will break up your broken stall and let you live in the bureau for the rest of your life!"

The two of them looked in the voice and found that it was the old woman and the northernmost guest who had a quarrel. The guest was facing the back of the table. Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, the three of them were all black uniforms, and there was a baton next to the legs of the table. They looked like a male-centered man, but they were definitely not dressed in a policeman. What was even more surprising was that the tiger skin in the middle was still a woman!

Looking at the size of the three people, they still look familiar, Xue Xiangzheng looked suspicious. The old man who was just dressed in seasoning suddenly abandoned the pan and rushed towards the other side.

"Several, you guys, you have something to say and what to say. I'm so sad. I won't cut donkey meat for Brother Da Fei, why are you so sad!"

As soon as the old man ran over, he bowed to the three of them and sold them out.

The female tiger slapped on the small square table, "Stop talking nonsense, Old Man Xu, have you considered what I told you? It's been three days now. I don't have time to play with you. If I don't give you a reply, don't set up a stall here!"

It was obviously a female tiger, but it made a male voice, and the voice sounded so familiar. Xue Xiang was shocked and recognized that the three of them were coming. They were the long-haired young man who was playing on the train, the middle-aged man with glasses, and the fat man with gold chains.

This shock was really extraordinary. The reason he thought that a young man with long hair was a woman before was because of his long hair. Even if an ordinary person had long hair, Xue Xiang would definitely not be able to distinguish between men and women. However, a young man with long hair was wearing uniforms. Just think about it, no matter whether it is now or later, who eats public food, who dares to grow long hair.

This long-haired young man's outfit really opened his eyes to Lao San.

In addition, he was really surprised how these three people changed their identity as liars and their public figures.

He was surprised that the incident there became more and more intense. After listening for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.

It turned out that the three Changfa Youth were actually members of the Comprehensive Security Brigade under the Baofeng District Comprehensive Management Office. Let’s clearly say that it was the urban management in the 1980s!

But in terms of power, they are much larger than urban management, because they can not only manage illegal occupation of roads, but also be responsible for assisting defense and maintaining stability in the area, but also be responsible for rectifying the industrial and commercial order, which is called to crack down on speculation and counter-attack. The source of these people is naturally mostly social instability factors. After all, they are not vicious or evil, so how can they suppress the masses?

The group also gave themselves a majestic nickname: Dog Beating Team. As the name suggests, in their eyes, the masses are the dogs, who can not only play with them, but also eat meat if they are beaten to death.

At present, the three young men with long hair just want to eat the meat of the old couple selling Hula Seed Bread.

At first, Xue Xiang thought that these three people were using their power to get some benefits. Originally, it was impossible for such a pole stall to have various business licenses. In this way, whether they can exist is all in the hands of the long-haired young people.

But generally speaking, local governments do not include such low-cost private stalls in the scope of crackdown, but young people and others can monetize their power and extort management fees, and they can get them for free. These are extremely normal.

If this is true, Xue Xiang would not feel anything. Originally, this kind of life order at the bottom could never be a pool of clear water.

But what the young men with long hair have to do is not extort management fees. It is so simple to eat for nothing. These three people actually wanted to forcefully divide the profits of the old couple, saying that they could help the old couple expand their business and protect their stalls, but they would have to collect 50% of the monthly profits.

This shoulder pole stall is a craft passed down by the old couple. If you eat, you don’t want to make much money. In addition to your life, you can subsidize your family’s income. It is simply a lifeline for maintaining the family’s livelihood. Who is willing to separate half of your lifeline?

At this moment, the old man kept begging for mercy and begged to double the management fee and to honor three people with one cigarette every month.

But I knew that the old man had been entangled for a long time, and the young man with long hair became angry first. But when he saw him standing up, he reached out and lifted the table. In an instant, the red soup, green donkey meat, and white sesame cakes rolled all over the floor.

"Shameless, you are a horse!"

The fat man on the side of the gold chain came up and slapped the old man and threw him to the ground. The hungry old woman rushed forward to save the old man, and then tripped him up again.

There was a lot of noise here. It was originally in the downtown area. Logically, this kind of bullying the elderly with strong and overwhelming the weak with the masses should arouse public indignation and besieged by others. However, the young man with long hair stood on the spot, with a full look of fierce power, and no one dared to move.

The fat man in the golden chain even cursed at the person who saw him: "Look at you, look at you, who the fuck will look at you, get arrested and sent to jail for dinner!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone spoke: "It's you three more. I won't play cards this time, so I'll rob it!"

Xue Xiang finally couldn't help but stand up.

Logically speaking, the strong dragon will not defeat the local snake, not to mention that his situation in Dejiang is not optimistic now, and he is carrying a big burden. He should not interfere in the matter in front of him.

At first, Xue Laosan did think so, hoping that others would stand up and expose the current situation. He had always heard that Shu people were brave and brave, so there must be heroes.

But the current situation disappointed Xue Xiang. However, thinking about it, he felt relieved. No matter how brave the locals are, they are only to the outside world, and in their own places, they are still afraid of locals who are more fierce than him.

The three young men with long hair are obviously doing bad things for years, and with tiger skin, ordinary people naturally dare not provoke them.

In this way, how could he be a spectator or leave quietly? Because no matter where the official is, Xue Laosan always has a sense of civilianity.

"Hold!"

"Depend on!"

"day!"
