Porcelain to Porcelain

Lu Qiu, who was full of alcohol, went back to the rental house and fell asleep with his head covered. When he woke up, he heard noises in the kitchen. Lu Chunhua had already closed and was cooking dinner.

Dinner is gruel with meat buns.The meat buns were bought by Lu Chunhua at a bun shop near the mending shop. The bun shop has a variety of stuffing for the buns, and you can buy four for one yuan, which is cheap and affordable.

Any stuffing in the bun shop is the same price, and Lu Chunhua always only buys meat stuffing.At this time, the price of meat is much more expensive than that of vegetables. In order to save money, Lu Chunhua buys less meat vegetables in the vegetable market.Although the stuffing of the meat buns is pitiful, at least you can eat the meat and reduce your appetite.

Lu Chunhua heard the movement in the living room, and came out with porridge and buns.

"Qiu Sheng, how is working in a fast food restaurant?"

"It didn't work." Lu Qiu's face was a little hot.

"Did you not sign up?"

Lu Chunhua's complexion changed, and the action of putting it on the dining table was a bit heavy.

She didn't think that her younger brother would not be able to apply for a waiter, but she was afraid that his younger brother would return to his original nature, unwilling to work and just wanting to idle around.When I came back from closing time, I saw my younger brother sleeping on the bed, smelling like cigarettes and alcohol. Is this getting worse?In the past I didn't smoke or drink, but now I smoke and drink.

Poor Lu Qiu came to this world, he smoked for the first time yesterday, and drank alcohol for the first time, the cigarettes were offered by Xiao Ding, and the wine was invited by Xiao Ding.

Lu Qiu saw that Lu Chunhua was very angry.

"Sister, I'm late. This fast food restaurant has recruited enough people. I'll try elsewhere tomorrow." Lu Qiu didn't have the face to tell the truth. The fact that he was the only applicant who was eliminated hurt his self-esteem.

There are so many places to serve dishes, and Lu Qiu was not so discouraged that he thought that that kind of job would never be found.

"It's too late." Lu Chunhua's expression became more relaxed. She didn't realize that with the change of her brother's personality, she dared to lose her temper in front of him, and she began to have the self-consciousness of her sister.

"A friend said he would introduce me to a job." Lu Qiu faintly remembered the conversation yesterday.

"What job?"

"I didn't say what I did specifically." Xiao Ding didn't look bad, and he didn't seem to be pulling him to do bad things like beating, killing, and looting.

"What about the treatment?"

"It can be thousands."

Lu Qiu took a bun and took a bite, then stared at the stuffing and wondered what kind of meat it was.

In my impression, Ding Xiaoqiang seemed to say several thousand. Lu Qiu guessed that he said the wrong number because of his tongue.At this time, the wages of ordinary workers in Shanghai were around [-] yuan.

"You can earn thousands of dollars, and the salary is good. Qiusheng, you have to keep close to your friends, so you can't fail this time." Lu Chunhua showed excitement.

"I'll call to ask after dinner." Lu Qiu was a little apprehensive, the words on the wine table may not be serious, maybe Ding Xiaoqiang said it casually.

After eating the steamed stuffed buns and drinking the porridge, Lu Chunhua quickly cleaned up the dishes and wiped the dining table. Then, she took out a dozen children's pants from the bedroom and put them on the table. She took the scissors and sat down to cut the threads.

This is the back job that Lu Chunhua ordered from the garment factory. She can cut a hair and two hairs, and it can be cut to thirty in ten hours.

Because the business was slow, Lu Chunhua went to the garment factory to pick up the post-work and took it out to do. When there was no business in the store, he didn't have to be idle. When he returned to the rented house, he had a lot of time to work after dinner, which was equivalent to working overtime to earn extra money.

Usually, it has to be cut until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Lu Chunhua will stop and go back to the room to sleep after being urged by Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu's bed is next to the dining table, and his sister is working, so he can't follow Lu Qiusheng's example of watching TV or resting by himself.So when Lu Chunhua cut the end of the thread, Lu Qiu followed suit. After two or three days of cutting, blood blisters appeared on his fingers.

Facing such monotonous and repetitive work, Lu Qiu had a headache and went to get the scissors with a sad face.

"Don't cut it, go and call your friend." Lu Chunhua shook his hand.

"Okay." Lu Qiu took out his mobile phone, found Ding Xiaoqiang's number and dialed it.Yesterday, the two exchanged cell phone numbers.

The phone rang once and connected.

"Brother Ding, did you really have the job you said yesterday?" Lu Qiu was worried that Ding Xiaoqiang was still drunk.

"Qiusheng, I'm about to call you." Ding Xiaoqiang's voice came over with full of enthusiasm. "Of course there is a real job. Will my brother fool you? Come here now, come to Jinshan Bay."

"Where is Jinshan Bay?" The place name Lu Qiu sounded strange.

"You can take a taxi, the driver knows the place." It seems that Jinshan Bay is a relatively famous place for Shanghai.

"Oh, ok, I'll make it right now."

"Hurry up, call me when you get there, and I'll come pick you up." Ding Xiaoqiang urged.

"Oh, okay." Lu Qiu originally wanted to ask about the work content on the phone, but Ding Xiaoqiang's urging made it difficult to ask, so he could only go there to see the situation.

"Go, don't let your friends wait for you." Lu Chunhua's attitude towards work was more serious than Lu Qiu's. "Do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, there are still eighty."

Lu Qiu waved his hands, went to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then changed into neater clothes.When he was away from home, Lu Qiu was not like the original owner. Not to mention his slovenliness, he also regarded slovenliness as masculinity.He will definitely dress neatly from head to toe when he goes out, giving people the impression of being well-dressed and energetic.

After spending 11 yuan on the fare, Lu Qiu arrived at Golden Bay.

Golden Bay is the name of a high-rise building. At the bottom of the building, Lu Qiu waited for 3 minutes, and Ding Xiaoqiang emerged from an alley next to the building.

"Qiusheng! Qiusheng! Here." Ding Xiaoqiang shouted, waving at Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu trotted over: "Brother Ding, what job do you introduce me to?"

"Let's go with brother, what are you doing, be smart, do you know?" Ding Xiaoqiang waited for Lu Qiu to approach, turned around and left.

"..." Well, still didn't say the job content, Lu Qiu hesitated for a moment before following up.

Lu Qiu had long legs and big strides, and he caught up with Ding Xiaoqiang within a few steps.

"Brother, what the hell are you doing, let the brother be a little bit of a bottom, a little bit of preparation, so as not to lose face, brother Ding."

Ding Xiaoqiang looked around, leaned closer to Lu Qiu and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's almost like watching the scene."

"Look at the scene?"

Casinos, entertainment centers, and bars all have venues, which are a kind of internal security.

"Brother Ding..." Lu Qiu stopped, he didn't want to be a gangster, he didn't want to go out of the prison and go in again.

Ding Xiaoqiang realized that Lu Qiu was not leaving, and immediately understood his worry. "Brother Ding is not in danger here, and will not lead you around."

"Can you tell me more details?" Lu Qiu still hesitated.

"It's just someone playing cards at my friend's house." That is to say, a private gambling stall.

"You can only enter if you are introduced by an acquaintance." A circle has been formed.

"My friend's brother is the Deputy Bureau of the Public Security Bureau, and the directors of the police stations in this area will come and sit down."

"When you go in, serve fruit and offer cigarettes, or refill tea for guests." There is no need to guard the venue with an official background, as long as the service work is done well.

Hearing Ding Xiaoqiang's explanation, Lu Qiu felt much more at ease.

"Brother Ding, brother understands."

Ding Xiaoqiang patted Lu Qiu on the shoulder: "I have a strong relationship with my friends, and I dare not bring you here without this face."

"Thank you, Brother Ding!" Regardless of the real situation, Lu Qiu expressed his gratitude first.

Walked 30 meters further and came to a three-room three-story building.There is a yard in front of the building, and the yard wall is very high. You can't see what's inside the wall, but you can see the second and third floors.The second and third floors were pitch black with no lights.

Ding Xiaoqiang opened the door and led Lu Qiu in.

There were three cars parked on the concrete space in the courtyard. Lu Qiu wondered if there was another courtyard door. The courtyard door he passed just now was a small door, not wide enough for cars to enter and exit.

In the living room on the first floor, an old lady in her 70s was watching TV.

The TV is a newly-launched LCD TV, more than 50 inches by visual inspection. The old lady is fascinated by watching it. When Ding Xiaoqiang and Lu Qiu came in, the old lady didn't give her a look.Lu Qiu guessed that the old lady might have bad ears, because the TV screen had caught up with the small movie screen, and the old lady was still leaning forward.

Look at this ordinary homely atmosphere, Lu Qiuxin and Ding Xiaoqiang are not bragging, the owner of this family has a strong background, opening a casino is not afraid of black and white, but he is afraid that ordinary people will know that it will not be good.

"Everyone is on the second floor, the windows are covered, and there is sound insulation, so you can't see it from the outside." Ding Xiaoqiang didn't even greet the old lady, and led Lu Qiu upstairs.

The wall lamp on the stairs is very dim, just enough to see the steps of the stairs clearly.The entire staircase is made of solid wood, which shows that the decoration is good.

There are three rooms upstairs. Ding Xiaoqiang pushed open the door of the middle room. The room was brightly lit and smelled of cigarettes.

The room was large, with a card table in the middle, and all four of them were smoking and playing cards around the table.There were two people standing around the table, looking at the cards with their heads hooked.The four players who were playing cards were concentrating. Except for the player facing the door who glanced at Ding Xiaoqiang and Lu Qiu, the other three didn't pay attention. The two players watching the cards looked back and then turned back.

Ding Xiaoqiang didn't say hello to the two people watching the cards, but only nodded to the guests facing the door.The guest facing the door bit his cigarette, squinted at Lu Qiu, and then turned his attention back to his hands.

Sitting on the sofa at one side of the room was a 30-year-old man who was relatively thin and looked like an ordinary passer-by.There is a coffee table on the right side of the sofa, and there are seven or eight bundles of hundred-yuan bills on the coffee table, which is very eye-catching.There is a [-]-inch LCD TV against the wall on the left, and the TV is turned on but there is no sound.The man's gaze was fixed on the screen.The TV picture on the screen seemed to be the same as what the old lady watched.

Ding Xiaoqiang led Lu Qiu to the man.

"Brother Jiang, this is the little Lu I was talking about."

Jiang Ge looked at Lu Qiu: "Since it was brought by Xiao Ding, his mouth should be tight, so you can do it right here."

Ding Xiaoqiang tugged on Lu Qiu's arm, and Lu Qiu quickly said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for your interest!"

Even if you don't decide to stay here, you have to agree to it at this time, otherwise you will lose Ding Xiaoqiang's face.

"Go and play, eat whatever you want." Jiang Ge flicked the cigarette ash, and pointed to the long table next to the TV.

There are seven or eight kinds of seasonal fruits, various high-end snacks, cigarettes and drinks on the long platform.

Ding Xiaoqiang went over and gave Lu Qiu a pack of cigarettes. "Put it in your pocket and respect your guests."

"Oh!" Lu Qiucai took it over, and the poker table made a loud noise.

"Boss Wang has eaten it all!" The two people on the sidelines exclaimed.

"I'll go! This kind of card can be played!" One of the gamblers was a little frustrated.

"I'm lucky! What's the matter? Don't you agree?" Boss Wang blushed.This person was facing the door, and Ding Xiaoqiang came in to greet him.

"Boss Wang, give out red money! If you win so much, you must pay a lot of money!" Ding Xiaoqiang smiled and leaned over to help Boss Wang with the money.

Boss Wang leaned back to make room for Ding Xiaoqiang to organize the banknotes.

There are only two denominations of banknotes on the table, one is one hundred, the other is fifty, and there are none below fifty.Lu Qiu visually estimated that Boss Wang won about [-] yuan in this hand.

Ding Xiaoqiang sorted out the money and took out five fifty notes.

Boss Wang shook his finger: "Two tickets per person!"

"Okay!" Ding Xiaoqiang agreed resoundingly, drew another five fifty notes, turned around and handed four to the two people watching the cards.

Each of them took two trouser pockets, smiling all over their faces, and said all kinds of flattering words to Boss Wang.Boss Xie was very helpful, and continued to open the cards with his eyes closed.

Lu Qiu seemed to have seen Ding Chunqiu and his disciples appearing on the stage, and was watching the excitement, when Ding Xiaoqiang stuffed two banknotes in his hand.

"I have that too?"

"Whoever is here has a share!"

This is the so-called red money?

"Thank you, Boss Wang!" Lu Qiu urgently joined the Ding's sect.

"Small, bring me a pack of cigarettes!" Boss Wang focused on the card without lifting his eyelids.

Ding Xiaoqiang poked Lu Qiu with his arm: "Go and get it, it's on the long platform."

Lu Qiu hurried to the Changtai to get a pack of cigarettes of the same brand that Boss Wang was smoking just now.Before handing it to Boss Xie, Lu Qiu opened the bag first, took out one and handed it to Boss Wang to light it on his mouth, and put the rest in front of Boss Wang.

Boss Wang gave Lu Qiu a satisfied look. "Xiao Ding, the friend you brought with you has good insight."

"Hey, Xiao Lu is young, all the bosses tell him if you have something to do."

Xiao Ding took the opportunity to introduce Lu Qiu, and Lu Qiu quickly took out a cigarette and passed it around.

Driven by Boss Wang, the other three gamblers took their cigarettes for the sake of saving face and called Xiao Lu, and the two spectators even smiled at Lu Qiu.Does this count as joining the circle?
