Chapter 189 [Routine]

Chapter 180 Three [Routine]

For most young people in Jinling City, summer is a time full of good memories.

In summer, there are ice-cold popsicles, refreshing ice-cold sodas, girls in skirts dancing on the street, and cicadas chirping on the trees in the afternoon.

The most important thing is that summer is the time for summer vacation!

Of course, for foodies, there are barbecues, crayfish, pickled fish on the roadside stalls in summer...

Especially the crayfish, which was first prosperous in Xuyi, soon reached Jinling, and gradually spread to the whole country through this provincial capital city and the core city of the Yangtze River Delta.

Maybe many years later, similar to WH, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and even Beijing, there will be crayfish everywhere.

But in Jinling City, in fact, in the 90s, crayfish has become a delicacy on the plate of Jinling people.

At the earliest time, around 2000, in a place called Danfeng Street in Jinling City, there was a Yang’s crayfish, which made the luxury of the first crayfish in Jinling City——shrimps are no longer sold by the catty. Or talk about selling.

It's about selling only!
(The author was born in 81. When I was in elementary school, that is, at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, people in Jinling already had the habit of buying crayfish from the vegetable market and cooking them at home. But at the end of the 90s, around 2000, the street There are lobster restaurants in the alleys. I don’t know about other places, but Jinling is one of the first cities in the country where crayfish is popular, and the word “one” can even be removed.)
Chen Nuo was sitting in Yang's crayfish shop at the moment.

In front of it is a plate of crayfish known as the most expensive in Jinling City—the kind that is only sold.

It was really big, a prawn lay flat in front of him, the length of an adult's palm.

In this era, Xuehua has not been as popular as later generations, and Qingdao has not made the brand all over the country.

What Jinling people prefer to drink is a local beer called "Jinling Dry Beer", which has a slightly bitter taste.

A five-dollar bottle of Jinling Dry Beer placed a box on the ground in front of Chen Nuo and stepped on the box.

This picture will disappear after more than ten years... Jinling dry beer gradually retreated from the market, and the beer market in Jinling City has become Snowflake, Qingdao, and even the legendary deadly Wusu...

Sitting in front of Chen Nuo were Brother Lei and Zhang Linsheng.

The business of this lobster restaurant has exploded, and it has staged a business miracle in the catering industry that "the more expensive the business, the better".

But Chen Nuo knows that this business won't last long. Chinese people are very good at imitating business, and there is almost no threshold for crayfish.The gimmick of this restaurant is the size of the crayfish!

Soon, a large number of restaurants specializing in fine crayfish will emerge in Jinling City, and then this will be crowded out.

Zhang Linsheng peeled the prawns attentively, and soon the lobster shells were piled up like a hill in front of him.

Brother Lei thought it was troublesome, so after peeling a few pieces, he became impatient with this thing, and asked the store to send a large plate of barbecue, especially the roasted crispy bones.

"Li Qingshan heard about our business in Daming Road, and asked me about it. It seems that he wants to get involved." Brother Lei held the sign in his hand, while nibbling on the roasted crispy bone, he said: "This old man also Interesting, his own business is so big, our business is small and big for him, and he wants to get involved."

Chen Nuo glanced at Zhang Linsheng: "What do you think?"

Zhang Linsheng said quickly, "Listen to you."

Chen Nuo put a chopstick of scrambled eggs with chives into his mouth and chewed two bites - the chives are a bit old.

Putting down his chopsticks, Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "Let's see, Li Qingshan can't be regarded as his own, and we have to look again."

"Then I reject it first?" Brother Lei glanced at Chen Nuo.

"Ah."

Chen Nuo nodded, thought about it, and then said: "Li Qingshan has helped a lot with Xi'an, and I will always repay this favor. However, he posted us, not because we are small The business makes money, but the meaning lies in Brother Hao Nan, who wants to be a big backer."

"I'm just a pretense, I actually want to hug your thigh." Zhang Linsheng said quickly.

"This person is in the business of flesh and blood - that's fine. It's just that before, this person likes to go the wrong way when he does things, and his mind is very smooth. I don't like it too much." Chen Nuo shook his head: "Let's take a look. ."

After speaking, Chen Nuo looked at Zhang Linsheng again: "I heard Brother Lei say that there is always a beautiful girl who will come to the store to find you these days?"

Brother Lei was secretly having fun, and Zhang Linsheng's expression became embarrassed.

"I didn't always come." Zhang Linsheng looked a little uncomfortable: "The last time I came, I happened to be bumped into by Brother Lei."

"Twice!" Brother Lei added fuel to his jealousy: "The first time I met him, I came to find Lin Sheng to go out for dinner, but Lin Sheng rejected them with a stern face. The second time I brought a big bag of food and ran to find it. Lin Sheng, and even the decoration team in the store, have taken it. Roast duck from the old store in Shuiximen, four pieces of duck, and beer. I took a few bites."

Chen Nuo nodded, thought about it, and said slowly, "I heard that the girl works in a nightclub?"

"Well, red card." Brother Lei smiled.

"What to do is up to you." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "You are not too young. There is no boy of this age who doesn't want to be a girl. It is necessary to do things, but there is no need to force a bachelor."

"That girl... doesn't really like me." Zhang Linsheng held back for a while, then said, "I know in my heart that she must have misunderstood something."

"Then do you like her?"

"..." Zhang Linsheng put down the crayfish in his hand, picked up the beer bottle, and was too lazy to pour it into the glass. He took two sips directly from the mouth of the bottle, and then wiped his mouth and said: "She is very beautiful, and she is very good at things. But …”

"Just make yourself happy." Chen Nuo said lightly, "How old are you? You're only 19 years old. Looking for a girl at this age is not about marriage. A girl is beautiful and will make you happy. You don't care how much sincerity she has, as long as you are happy.

But let me remind you in one sentence: hold yourself well, don't plunge into it, don't get too high. "

After speaking, he sighed softly: "The kind of talking about a pure relationship, finding a long-term lover... This kind of thing is difficult.

In the future, this era will change. "

Just like the generation of our parents, when we were young, we found a girlfriend, simply fell in love, and then worked hard to get together and live a lifetime... This era is coming to an end.

In the future era, it will be nightclubs, playing with individuality, playing with alternatives, and being unconventional on the Internet.

Between men and women, it will become more and more casual.

Everyone is busy raising fish and spare tires, and everyone has ten or eight contact information of the opposite sex in their mobile phones.Everyone is pretending, everyone is acting, everyone is playing tricks.

A person with a mouth full of grass and mud horses may have a good time performing in front of you.

A person who is impatient to even say a few words to his parents at home may politely say thank you when the waiter brings him a pair of chopsticks in order to show his demeanor in front of the opposite sex.

A person who has never read a few books and is full of lipstick numbers and sneaker styles may find a few nonsense articles concocted by others to read, and dare to perform a full belly in front of you.

Everyone is disguising themselves on the Internet, some are selling beauty, some are ugly, some are weird, and some are vulgar.

As long as people have desires, they will have weaknesses!

In the future, people's desires will become stronger and stronger, and their weaknesses will become more and more.

When everyone in this society is full of weaknesses, some smart people will summarize these, and then evolve countless routines to deal with people's weaknesses.

When more and more people suffer losses, then people will rush to learn these routines again - between men and women, it will become a game of confrontation between routines and routines.

The urban routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.

Rural roads are also slippery, and the routines are more complicated.

Chen Nuo patted Zhang Linsheng on the shoulder and sighed: "No matter what, keep your heart and don't get carried away by too many messy things."

Zhang Linsheng looked at Chen Nuo with complicated eyes—the oily hands, and the white T-shirt he just put on today.

"Li Qingshan's side, you help me arrange it, I will meet him, I have something to ask him."

"Okay." Brother Lei replied.

·
Li Qingshan’s family has a great career, and there is a hot spring resort in Tangshan near Jinling City—a few rows of small villas that have introduced hot springs.

Here, eating, drinking, and having fun is a one-stop-shop—of course, it's all formal.

This is also one of the few formal industries under Li Qingshan.

But actually, it doesn't make much money.

In the year of 2001, consumption has not yet fully recovered. For ordinary people, such things as hot springs are still a relatively distant thing. With this spare money, I can buy a few more pounds of meat to eat. Isn't it delicious?Add two new clothes to yourself or your wife and children, isn't it beautiful?
But Li Qingshan is a visionary, he consulted experts, this place will be very valuable in the future.

Even if this hot spring resort has very little profit now, the value of this land will be able to earn back the investment in the future!
The place where Chen Nuo met Li Qingshan was in this hot spring resort.

Li Qingshan was actually a little fortunate to see Chen Nuo come alone - the old man was actually a little afraid that Chen Nuo and Zhang Linsheng would come to see him together.

He also didn't know how to face his fellow apprentices at the same time.

Damn, there is a big secret hidden in my heart!

Chen Nuo was served delicious food, and then watched Chen Nuo pull out a small wooden box and push it over on the table.

"Thank you, Hall Master Li, for your help with the lottery last time." Chen Nuo said with a big grin, "I have another thing to ask you this time..."

"Haha! The trivial matter is not worth mentioning! If you have any orders this time, just say it."

"It's not my business this time, it's my senior brother Hao Nange's business. Well, to be precise, it's our teacher's business!"

"Oh?"

Li Qingshan came to the spirit immediately.

Chen Nuo opened the box and found a jade plaque inside.

To be precise, half a block.

A jade plaque the size of a matchbox, but only half of it remains. It can be seen that the broken part is not neat, and I don't know if it was broken or dropped.

Li Qingshan glanced at it, and then looked at Chen Nuo with puzzled eyes.

"Please get started."

"Okay!" Li Qingshan thought for a while, picked up the jade token and looked at it carefully for a while, nodded, and first praised: "Good thing!"

He picked it up and looked at the light place again: "It's an ancient jade! The quality of the jade is very good, it's top grade! The water head is also good. The carving is very delicate, and there is no lack of simplicity. It's just that this thing is incomplete, sorry!"

Carefully putting things back into the box, Li Qingshan looked at Chen Nuo: "I don't know what you want me to do..."

"It has something to do with this jade card." Chen Nuo said slowly: "Senior Li, you know that Senior Brother Lin Sheng and I are from the same sect. Our sect is an ancient sect."

"Um……"

"It's too much, I can't say it. All I can say is that this jade tablet has something to do with our division. And what I want you to do is to find the other half of this jade tablet!"

"Ah?" Li Qingshan was a little embarrassed: "This... Where can I find it?"

"I got the news that the other half of this jade tablet should be in Jinling City and has been collected by someone, but...you know, our division has always been hidden from the world, and we don't want to go out to inquire about it with great fanfare, so, I can only ask you."

Li Qingshan pondered for a while, frowned and said: "If you want to talk about this, it's not unreasonable. I can send someone to inquire about some jade shops in Jinling City, but if I can find out, I don't dare to pack it. vote."

Chen Nuo said with a smile: "Naturally! It's been many years since this matter, so don't be in a hurry. You can ask slowly. Whether it's successful or not, we will all accept your favor."

Li Qingshan was relieved and nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll ask people to inquire slowly. I also know a few prominent figures in the jade industry in Jinling City. As soon as there is news, I will immediately reply to you."

"No hurry, no hurry!" Chen Nuo smiled, and then said slowly: "It's not in a hurry. However, there is one thing about this!"

"what?"

"This matter is related to the secret of my teacher's sect! Therefore, whether it is successful or not, you can't tell anyone about this matter! I will keep this half of the jade card with you, but you must not lose it. It's gone!"

Li Qingshan nodded: "This is of course!"

·
After Chen Nuo left, Li Qingshan immediately asked Lao Qi to invite an old master from a jade shop to identify the half of the jade plaque in his hand. It turned out to be an old object, and then carefully put it away.

Next, Li Qingshan began to meet some leading figures in the jade industry that Jinling City knew.

And just three days later...

Jinling Lukou International Airport.

International flights arrive at the exit.

Alonso Rodriguez walked out of the exit slowly.No suitcases, just a backpack.

Huge sunglasses and a full beard made it impossible to see his true appearance at all.Tall and burly figure, it is very eye-catching in the crowd.

The name Alonso Rodriguez is, of course, a pseudonym.Just the name on one of the passports he uses on weekdays.

This guy's real name is Harvey.

Nicknamed "Bigfoot".

·
Leaving the airport and taking a taxi to a hotel in the city, Harvey checked in with his passport and went back to his room.

Opening the notebook he carried with him, Harvey received an email from a makeshift mailbox.

The content of the email is written in Spanish.

Attached are two photos.

The first photo is a portrait: an old Chinese man in his fifties, his hair is combed and he is wearing a short Chinese coat.

The second photo is of half a jade plaque.

Harvey looked at the two photos carefully, and then deleted the email—for a psychic master with strong mental power, he had already kept it firmly in his heart.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed a familiar middleman.

"I have arrived."

"Okay Harvey, how's the weather in Huaxia?" On the other end of the phone, the middleman smiled lightly.

"Damn the weather! I don't know if the food here is good or not." Harvey sniffed his nose: "I don't like the weather here. Hurry up and finish the work and take the money back."

"You have read the entrusted email, find that person, and you can go home after you get that item, my brother." The middleman said with a smile: "300 million M yuan, easy money, isn't it?"

"of course."

"I have to remind you of one thing, Harvey!" The middleman's tone was a little more serious: "Huaxia is a place with very strict control, and those little fun you are used to in other places, don't mess around in Huaxia and provoke them. Big trouble! I can't help you clean up!"

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"I mean very simply, don't do the same thing you did last time in Chicago! Want a woman, spend some money, bro! Don't get the fuck out of that disgusting thing. You know what? , the scavenger I sent last time to clean up the scene you made, almost vomited!"

·
Two hours after Harvey arrived, Chen Nuo got the news.

Simple but stupid way.

He'd known this bastard all his life, and knew several of his commonly used fake names, one of which was Alonso Rodriguez.

The commission was released by him through other channels, looking for one of Harvey's middlemen - avoiding the Octopus website.

Then, Chen Nuo asked Brother Lei to hold Harvey's portrait and wait at the airport and several hotel lobbies in Jinling City.

With this seemingly stupid way of casting the net, it was Harvey.

In this era, there are not as many foreigners in China as in later generations.Harvey's appearance is also very eye-catching.

The way of waiting for the rabbits, it is easy to find people.

·
Chen Nuo was eating with a phone in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

This is a small restaurant in Tangshan, the restaurant is located on a street that is not too wide.

Sitting in the restaurant, diagonally opposite, is Li Qingshan's hot spring resort.

"Let all your people withdraw, don't touch that guy." Chen Nuo explained to Brother Lei on the other end of the phone: "That guy is very dangerous and a pervert."

·
Sun Keke handed over the booklet to the teacher who made up the class, and then sat in front of the teacher with a worried expression and waited.

The teacher looked over it carefully, and there was a bit of joy on his face.

"Coco, you've made great progress recently." The math teacher smiled and said, "In a few days, I got someone to get a few sets of simulation papers, you can try again later. Your foundation is not good, but the progress has been quite good these days. Soon, if it goes on like this, I think Lao Sun will be very pleasantly surprised."

Sun Keke breathed a sigh of relief.

The math teacher fixed his eyes on Sun Keke, shook his head and said, "Have you not had a good rest recently? I think your dark circles are a little heavy, and you have lost a lot of weight. You can't go on like this, you still have a year of high school. It's not good to boil the body early."

Sun Ke smiled ridiculously: "Teacher, I actually feel pretty good, and I'm in good spirits every day, but I haven't slept well recently, and I can't always fall asleep."

"It's okay to be nervous, but don't overdo it." The math teacher waved his hand: "Go home early, I'll call Lao Sun back and talk about your situation.

You have improved very quickly in mathematics. I will communicate with Lao Sun about other homework, and then see where the focus of your tutoring will be in the next stage. "
