Food Tycoon

Yu Lu started the electric car and slid out without making a sound.The man was holding Yu Bing and sitting beside the road. Although the front seat of the tricycle was not narrow, it was still a bit narrow for two big men.Yu Lu drove the tricycle fast, smelling the smell of sweat on the opponent's body, he couldn't help twisting his body, trying to keep a distance from the opponent, while Yu Bing excitedly used his mouth to imitate the tricycle: "Woo—————".If only everyone could be as happy and carefree as children.

Yu Lu didn't go back directly, he went to the vegetable market first, bought the necessary vegetables, and then went to Lao Huang who sold aquatic products to pick up the oysters he ordered the day before.Lao Huang said: "Today I have pearl oysters that you want. I said Alu. Pearl oysters are small and expensive. You don't eat them for yourself and buy them for business. Why do you have to choose pearl oysters? Everyone loves them now." Eat big oysters.” The pearl oyster is a relatively small oyster species. The meat is delicious, but the growth period is long. Today, in pursuit of economic benefits, there are fewer and fewer people raising pearl oysters, and the price is naturally expensive .

Yu Lu carried a big bag of raw oysters and sniffed them close. Lao Huang patted him in a gesture: "When are you getting stale oysters from me?"

Yu Lu smiled and didn't say much. He weighed the money and said to Lao Huang, "I'll have more tomorrow. Prepare pearl oysters for me." Although pearl oysters are a bit small, they are the most suitable for baking oysters. Because the oyster is too big, it will be a little raw at the same heat, and it tastes a bit fishy. Many locals love the fishy smell and find it fresh, but tourists from outside may not all accept it.Yu Lu has been doing business for a long time, and he knows that people have their mouths in their mouths now, and they can taste the slightest difference. The quality of the ingredients directly affects the quality of the business. His stall business has always been good, especially attracting foreign tourists. The few repeat customers are due to his attention to these details.

He put the oysters into the car bucket, and Yu Bing yelled again: "Abo, I want to eat oysters!" Yu Lu ignored him and drove home.

When he got home, he didn't unload the things from the car, only took the oysters out, and he had to take out all the oyster meat before eleven o'clock, so that he could set up a stall in time.

The man got out of the car and took a look at Yu Lu's house. It was a four-room brick bungalow. Very old.Apart from the three of them, there seemed to be no one else in the family.

Yu Lu poured water into the basin and looked at the man standing in the yard: "You can sit down wherever you want. I have other things to do, so I can accompany you to the police station in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, I went to clean the oysters, took the tools to open the oysters, and started to get busy.The man looked around, and then walked to Yu Lu's side, watching him skillfully pry open the oyster's shell, and put the tender and fat oyster meat into a basin, even the oyster's soup was not wasted at all.There are ready-made oyster meat for sale in the market, but Yu Lu does not buy oyster meat, one is because it includes labor costs and is expensive, and the other is that it is not fresh enough.

The man looked at it for a while and said, "Is there any more knives?"

Yu Lu was concentrating on what he was doing at first, but when he heard this, the knife swayed and missed the place. He stopped and looked up at him: "Can you open oysters?"

"Try." The man held out his hand to him.

Yu Lu gave him the knife in his hand, and then gave him a glove. The man put the glove on his left glove, pressed the oyster, and inserted the oyster knife into the gap between the oyster shells with his right hand. The knife was flexible. Turning around in a circle, the oyster shell was peeled off, revealing a flawless oyster meat.With this coherent movement, one can tell that it is a familiar hand.

Yu Lu nodded his head: "Yes, please help me, I will find another knife."

Yu Bing ran out of the house and leaned over to Yu Lu: "Abo, I want to eat oysters!"

Yu Lu glared at him: "You stole raw oysters that day and you got diarrhea, and you spent so much money on me, have you forgotten?"

"I don't have diarrhea today, so I'll just have one, okay? Uncle, please, let me have one."

Yu Lu kept a straight face and ignored him.Yu Bing continued to twist her hips and act coquettishly on Lu Lu: "Abo, there is only one, only one."

Yu Lu was so entangled that he stared at him with wide eyes: "If you don't obey me, get out, and if you make trouble again, I will send you to your father."

Sure enough, Yu Bing became quiet and stopped making noise: "Then I want to eat oyster roast."

"Hey, I'll eat roasted oysters for you at noon, you can't eat raw ones. Go play and don't make trouble."

Yu Bing kicked and stomped away, and Yu Lu told behind him: "Don't go to the water." Yu Bing had already run away.

Yu Lu lowered his head and continued to open the oysters to get the meat. The movement of the man opposite him was smooth and fluid, without stagnation, and his speed was no slower than that of Yu Lu who was often used to this kind of thing.Yu Lu secretly got into a competition with the other party. You and I competed to get oyster meat.

Before he knew it, he drove more than halfway, and Yu Lu quickly stopped: "Okay, don't need to drive, that's enough." This thing needs to be fresh, and it will be opened in the afternoon when it is used at night. Usually, he does it alone. Naturally, it takes a long time. Today, two people do it, and the time is saved by more than half.Yu Lu took a look, it was just ten o'clock, so there was plenty of time, and he could still cook at home.

The man stopped, put his things down, and took off his gloves.Yu Lu said: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to do this. What did you do before?"

The man frowned, and spit out two words for a long time: "Forgot."

Well, Yu Lu completely gave up, he really forgot everything except eating. "I'm going to cook, and I won't be able to send you to the police station until I'm done in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the kitchen, remembered something, and stopped, "Brother, do you want to take a bath? I'll find you two clothes to change." clothes."

The other party froze for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you."

Yu Lu is a catering business. Although he is a hawker, he still pays attention to hygiene, which is the basis of the catering industry.He thought that if he went to sell oysters at noon, this person would definitely go there with him, and he couldn't put a stranger in his house.It's about to pass, he is filthy, wandering around his stall, which disgusts his customers.

The man was a little taller than Yu Luneng, estimated to be about 1 meters tall, close to the height of his younger brother Yu Nan, but he needed to be stronger, so Yu Lu brought him a set of Yu Nan's old clothes: "The bathhouse is over there. Solar water heaters, when you let go, there will be hot water."

The other party took his clothes: "Thank you."

Yu Lu went to cook. Usually he picks up the oyster meat by himself, and he has to be busy until almost eleven o'clock, and then he has to pack up and go out to the stall immediately. Lunch is always made while doing business. Eat some oyster baked for a while, and usually don't have lunch until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Bing also followed him to develop the habit of eating lunch at that time.

Yu Lu opened the refrigerator and put the oyster meat in to keep it fresh. Although it was already November, it was still summer in the south. The temperature was too high.

Yu Lu took out the stick-frozen saury from the refrigerator and prepared to make a dry fried saury.The saury is rotten and cheap, it costs three or four yuan a catty, the taste is slightly bitter, and the meat is relatively thick, but it is still delicious after processing.Yu Bing likes his dry fried saury. When there is saury, the little guy never procrastinates eating, and always eats cleanly.

Although they live by the sea, seafood is extremely rich and cheap, of course it is only relative, they can only afford some cheap fish and shrimp, because Yu Lu is too poor and has a large debt.

While he was busy, someone shouted in a long voice outside: "Boss Yu—Boss Yu—" The voice was rough and hoarse, as if it had been polished with sandpaper, and it was very recognizable.

The sound was like thunder, and Yu Lu's heart skipped a beat. The knife that was scratching the belly of the fish touched his finger, and the blood flowed immediately. Yu Lu hurriedly put his hand under the tap to wash it. Come out slowly from the kitchen.He looked at the three men with unkind faces outside the door, and tried his best to put on a smile: "Brother Huang, you came here in person. I'm busy these days, so I plan to send it to you in two days."

The guy surnamed Huang was the loud voice just now, about 40 to [-] years old, he was biting a cigarette, baring his black and yellow teeth: "Boss Yu, you are not authentic, you expired two days ago, You'll be here in two days, so if you're like this, do we still have dinner? Have you got the money ready?"

Yu Lu hurriedly took out a cigarette and came over to offer a cigarette, and smiled again: "It's really hard for you to let Brother Huang come to ask for the bill in person. It's like this, Brother Huang, I have already prepared the money, and I am about to give it to you I sent it, but two days ago my nephew got gastroenteritis, spent hundreds of dollars, and delayed some business, so this is not a coincidence, and the money is short, so I am embarrassed to find you, I want to wait I have enough money for two days, and I will send it to you."

The eyes surnamed Huang bulged, and the eyeballs of the white and black eyes almost fell out: "Surnamed Yu, what do you mean, you don't have money?"

Yu Lu lowered his head and took a deep breath, and continued to pretend to be a grandson: "Of course I have to pay it back, but this month I can't pay it according to the scheduled amount. Can I make up for it next month? I know Brother Huang is a good person, and he will be accommodating. "

The one surnamed Huang is shorter than Yu Lu, but he likes to look at him through his nostrils, so he raised his head and said, "How much is the difference?"

Yu Lu said cautiously, "It's not much, one thousand."

The one surnamed Huang slapped Yulu on the head: "You fucking lost 1000 yuan, and you dare say it's not much. How much do you want to pay us back a month?"

Yu Lu clenched his teeth and lowered his eyes: "Three thousand."

The surnamed Huang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "You fucking know it's three thousand? Our boss lent one hundred thousand to your brother, and he still gave him the lowest interest. He charged trivial interest every day, even the principal. If you don’t come back, if you don’t have any money to pay back, you’ll sell your kidneys!”

Yu Lu really wanted to dump him: Fuck you, the three-cent monthly interest is still the lowest interest!Whoever borrowed the money let him pay it back!

But he dared not.It was his elder brother Yu Lin who borrowed the money. That bastard borrowed a loan shark behind his back to engage in pyramid schemes. , All the troubles he caused were spread on his elder brother. He not only had to help him pay off his debts, but also helped him raise his children.Yu Lu felt that he must have killed Yu Lin's family in his previous life, and that in this life he was going to be a cow and a horse for him.

This guy surnamed Huang is also an errand runner, but he is an extremely cruel guy. He once caught too Bing and said that his father would pay his debts. , Cut off his palm, forget it.Yu Lu knew that these guys could do what they said. He once saw with his own eyes that Wang Guili, a village gambler, had his finger chopped off because he owed 1 yuan in usury and failed to repay it in time. It was paid back, and the fingers were just interest.

This is a group of gangsters, and no one can touch them. Anyone who can afford usury, who has no relationship with power and money, is not something that ants like Yu Lu can shake, so they can only bear this debt alive. I work hard for these locusts every month.

Yu Lu looked at that disgusting man surnamed Huang, and really wanted to beat him up. He continued to forcefully smile and said, "Brother Huang, you can count the interest on the 1000 yuan, and I will pay you next month." I will definitely give it back to you."

The surnamed Huang spit out the cigarette in his mouth: "Fuck you, three-point interest, how much interest can you get on 1000 yuan? No money, find a way to get it! I can't get any money today , I will take your nephew to mortgage for a few days."

Yu Lu's face suddenly became a little ugly: "Brother Huang, don't be joking. It's not that I won't pay you back. This is a problem for everyone. Can't you accommodate me?"

The surnamed Huang snorted coldly: "You said you have paid back the money on time several times, which time don't delay for a few days, you owe a damn lesson! I also help others to work, everyone is like you, we still Do you want to eat?"

Yu Lu smiled wryly: "I know Brother Huang also has Brother Huang's difficulties. Can you give it a few more days? After three days, I will definitely pay back the 1000 yuan."

The surnamed Huang said: "No, just today. If you don't pay today, I will take your nephew away."

At this time, Yu Bing just came back from outside, bouncing around, still humming.A smile flickered in the eyes of the surnamed Huang, and Yu Lu hurriedly tried to go over to protect Yu Bing, but was stopped by the surnamed Huang and an accomplice, and Yu Lu shouted anxiously: "A Bing, go, go! Don't come back " Immediately afterwards, he was punched in the stomach by a man surnamed Huang, and Yu Lu was so painful that he couldn't straighten up.

Another accomplice surnamed Huang hurried up to catch Yu Bing. Seeing that his uncle was being beaten, Yu Bing not only refused to run, but ran to help, cursing as he ran, "You scoundrel, don't beat me uncle!" Seeing that he was about to be caught, there was another person in front of Yu Bing.The man that Yu Lu picked up came out of the bathhouse, just stopped in front of Yu Bing, and hugged him.Yu Lu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, not knowing what he was going to do.

The guy who went to catch Yu Bing saw the man, and was taken aback for a moment: "Who are you? Give me the child." After saying that, he was about to grab the child, but the man lifted his foot and kicked him to the ground. neat.

Several people were stunned, and Yu Lu was even more surprised. This person is actually a master fighter. Who the hell is he?The man hugged Yu Bing, without looking at the guy lying on the ground, walked towards Yu Lu, looked at him and said, "What are they doing?"

Seeing Yu Lu being helped by someone surnamed Huang, who was taller than any of them and had a bruise on his face, he didn't look like a good stubble, and he was good at fighting, so he got a little out of breath and stammered, "You, don't come here, Come here and I won’t spare him.”

Yu Lu was afraid that things would become serious, and he would have to pay for medical expenses if he hurt someone, so he took the opportunity to say: "Brother Huang, you are here to collect debts, not to seek revenge. Why do you do this? Kindness makes money, let me go , and the remaining money will be returned to you in three days."

The person surnamed Huang suddenly realized that this was not the case, so he let go of Yu Lu: "Okay, you must send it to me within three days!"
