Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 280 Chapter 280: Having many children and many blessings is the way to go

Simeng Street is adjacent to the Inner Harbor Pier and is one of the most prosperous places in Haojiang. There are many teahouses gathered here.

In this era, teahouses are not just a place to drink tea and have breakfast, they have multiple functions.

For example, teahouses are often local news distribution centers, and there is a lot of news. Therefore, newspaper reporters, plainclothes, etc. will often visit teahouses.

For example, Li Wanhua's Oriental Newspaper has reporters who specially come to the teahouse. If they want to find out some news or interesting stories, they often draft an article in the teahouse on the spot, and then send it directly to the night shift editor of the newspaper.

This was how many tidbits in newspapers at that time were concocted.

Not to mention the Tiaozi, the teahouse is a gathering place for the three religions and nine streams. They can often get clues to solve crimes from the teahouse, so there is also a saying of "Bao Qi" tea party.

In addition, the most common activity is waiting for hired workers, which is to use the teahouse as a "labor market". Every day, foremen will come here to recruit coolies to work.

Of course, this kind of tea is usually found in low-end teahouses, that is, teahouses that specialize in "tiger stove" (also called cooked water shop).

This type of teahouse only has a few broken tables and stools, and the conditions are relatively simple. Most of the teahouses that patronize are the lower classes of society and ordinary people. They open from early in the morning and close at nine or ten o'clock in the evening.

Of course Gao Yao and Li Wanhua didn't go to this kind of familiar shop.

The De Lai Teahouse they went to not only provided refreshments, but also provided trading opportunities, that is, the teahouse was used as a "trading market."

Every morning, businessmen from all walks of life, such as the cloth industry, sugar industry, bean industry, money industry, silk industry, tea industry... will come to the Rudelai Tea House, a mid-to-high-end teahouse, to meet, socialize, and have a good time by eating. Discuss deals over morning tea, and then conclude deals one after another.

So there is a reason why Li Wanhua often goes to Delai Teahouse, because sometimes she helps her family come here to finalize contracts with some businesses.

For example, United Brothers Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Li family, has some supplies that are smuggled.

This kind of thing is definitely best discussed in a teahouse.

The car stopped a little further away from the De Lai Tea House. Gao Yao looked at the neon sign that said De Lai Tea House and the diners coming in and out.

Business is booming.

There is also a sign at the door, Dalongfeng Folk Art Association, Afternoon Tea Room.

Li Wanhua gracefully took Gao Yao's arm and walked inside: "There is an opera teahouse here in the afternoon, and Cantonese opera lovers can perform live Cantonese opera regularly every afternoon."

"The main thing is to attract customers."

Gao Yao smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Li's skills here have amazed everyone."

Li Wanhua pursed his lips: "Thank God I didn't scare the neighbors."

"Also, MR. Gao."

Li Wanhua whispered: "You can call me Angela."

As the two walked in, the noisy teahouse gradually subsided.

When Li Wanhua led Gao Yao up to the second floor, the tea patrons on this floor immediately gathered together and poked their heads around each other.

"The beauty of Li, who is the most beautiful woman in the country, will eventually end up in a famous family."

"I wonder who this handsome guy is? He's so lucky."

After all, Haojiang and Hong Kong Island are not under the same jurisdiction, and not everyone will care about what happens in the other place.

Naturally, some people will not recognize Gao Yao.

"Silence."

Someone booed: "This is the all-powerful Mr. Gao Yao Gao from Hong Kong Island."

"People are thriving over there."

Speaking of the name, some people have an impression: "No wonder, no wonder."

"I heard that this high-ranking student is the richest in the world, even more so than He Dong."

Several people laughed and said, "A rich man and a good-looking woman make for a good marriage."

"I don't know if it's true or not."

"Crazy line."

Someone said: "Have you ever seen a beautiful woman holding the arm of a young boy?"

"Obviously moved."

The second floor is a private room.

Interestingly, there are guards standing at the door of each private room.

Among them was someone who was familiar with Li Wanhua and nodded: "Miss Li."

"The young master is inside."

Li Wanhua shook his head: "Please say hello to Mr. Fu for me."

She took Gao Yao into a private room, and then said, "The private room booked by the eldest young master of the Fu family just now."

There is only one Fu family in Haojiang, the gambling king Fu Laorong, whose subsidiaries include Taixing Entertainment Company, Deji Shipping Trading Company, Dalai Steamship, NO.16 Terminal, Dafeng Bank, etc.

There are ten buckets of money in Haojiang, and the Fu family only has 8 buckets!
He is a well-deserved tycoon here!

"Oh, Fu Yinquan?"

Li Wanhua nodded, and she sighed: "The Fu family has had a bad time, and now they have to take a lot of people with them when they go out."

Fu Laorong was previously bid for ginseng, but with He Xian's mediation, the price was reduced from 900 million to 50.

Good guy, this big piece of fat from the Fu family immediately made countless strong people excited.

and so…

Years ago, Fu Yinquan made the same mistake again and was kidnapped...

The mediator is still He Xian...

Because of the reputation He Xian had accumulated previously, the gangster did not break up the vote after receiving the money, but instead offered Fu Yinquan a way out.

From that time on, Fu Laorong was always close to home, while Fu Yinquan was less visible.

Even if there is, it must be heavily guarded.

Gao Yao was quite disapproving. In Haojiang, a land of nine rebels, there were many traitors and lackeys, Da Tian Er.

As the saying goes, if a tree is big, the wind will shake it, and if a person is famous, he will be shaken by the wind.

This Fu Laorong dominates the gambling world and takes advantage of it without knowing it. Naturally, he is easily targeted.

Fried ghost, pork chop buns, barbecued pork, vinegar pickled chili...

The refreshments look no different from those on Hong Kong Island.

Gao Yao looked at Li Wanhua, who was eating elegantly and smiling like a crescent moon. It seemed that she really liked tea.

"I have flowers on my face?"

"Oh, you are just a flower."

Under the mesh, a faint blush appeared on her fair face.

Li Wanhua said quietly: "A man's mouth is a ghost that deceives people."

Gao Yao immediately said: "Miss Li, I intend to hire you from the Li family and marry you."

Someone Gao had already figured it out. With Li Wanhua's appearance and background, logically she should have been engaged.

The result is still there, which shows that the Li family is waiting for a price, or that they want to find a good starting point for Li Wanhua.

On the other hand, it means that Li Wanhua himself has no right to choose.

So what else is there to say about Gao Yao?Just go up and do it.

Li Wanhua was stunned. She never expected that Gao Yao would be so abrupt, and... was it too fast?

She couldn't help but want to sing a line, I am so happy and panicked at the same time, how lucky I am to meet my husband tonight...

"High...high..."

Li Wanhua stammered: "I...I'm not ready..."

"Although my superior is just looking for sex."

Li Wanhua immediately chuckled: "How could you say that..."

She felt much more relaxed, at least this MR. Gao didn't seem to be an old scholar.

Gao Yao smiled and said, "I am also telling the truth."

"But don't worry, as long as you marry into my Gao family, you won't be wronged."

Having said this, Li Wanhua could only stand up with a blushing face. She glanced at Gao Yao with her watery eyes, and then said calmly and generously: "MR. Gao, thank you for your care."

"But this matter, I'm afraid..."

"Excuse me."

Li Wanhua walked to the door and then looked back. She whispered: "It depends on what my father wants."

Okay, this is a good attitude.

Gao Yao stood up and said, "I will live up to my lady's trust."

He thought that the fate was really wonderful. He came to Haojiang to prepare for the future, but he didn't expect that he would be able to make a difference.

Speaking of which, this is a really good marriage.

When Gao was about to go downstairs, the younger brother said, "Sir, Miss Li took a rickshaw and left."

This is to avoid suspicion...

Gao Yao thought to himself that the Li family was also a wealthy family, so it seemed that he had to find a powerful matchmaker.

Looking around, it must be He Xian's.

Gao Yao was a man who did what he said, so he immediately went to Dafeng Bank to find He Xian.

This bank can be said to be the foundation for He Xian's take-off. Gao Yao heard Baifanyu say that He Xian usually works at the bank.

He was lucky, He Xian was indeed on the bank.

Regrettably…

Rice fish is also there...

This is a bit of a fucking headache.

Gao Yao was an open-minded person. He felt that his ancestors were right, food and sex are the nature of food.

This Li Wanhua has such a beautiful voice and smile, Brother Yao really has no reason to give up.

Before Gao could say anything, Baifanyu had already said angrily: "Xianxiang, I heard that you took Dame Li to have morning tea today?"

Huh?
Gao Yao gave a thumbs up: "Taishan, I didn't expect you to be well-informed here in Haojiang."

"Depend on."

"You are frank."

Baifanyu shouted angrily: "How can you stand up to Yue Chang when you step on so many boats?"

Gao Yao coughed, and he said slowly: "Father-in-law, I think the most important thing for us as men is to have more children and more happiness."

Seeing Bai Fanyu put his words aside, Gao Yao simply said: "Taishan, I hope you can support me."

"Think beautifully."

Baifanyu said angrily: "It's useless for you to tell me."

"Boy, you are exaggerating. You only married two people, and now you can't wait to marry the third wife?"

Baifanyu was a little crazy: "Isn't it too outrageous?"

Gao Yao sighed: "Taishan, sometimes fate is really unstoppable."

"Damn, I think you are Sichun."

Baifanyu has a headache: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come with you."

In fact, whether he comes or not is still a question. If Miss Bai gets mad, she can catch her by any means.

Gao Yao recalled the scene when Bai Yuechang solved Guan Tai's concubine, and he felt that Yuechang's mind was quite broad.

Gao is absolutely confident that he can handle Miss Bai. "Tarzan."

Gao Yao licked his face and said with a smile: "Actually, I thought your suggestion last time to acquire more theater troupes was very good."

"I wonder what kind of big boss Taishan admires? My son-in-law can go and talk about it."

Next to him, He Xian smiled and watched the old man's son-in-law bickering. He thought to himself that Gao Sheng was good at this and respected Brother Bai quite a bit.

Otherwise, logically speaking, he can decide this matter with just one word.

Hearing what Gao Yao said again, He Xian thought that it was indeed a high school student who managed the opera troupe.

"Damn? You bribed me?"

Gao Yao apologized and said, "This is my filial piety."

"Actually, I have one more thing to ask Taishan."

Gao Yao said solemnly: "I think the landscape of Haojiang River is good, and I want to ask Taishan to help Yue Chang buy land and property here. Oh, of course it's my fault for the money."

"Depend on!"

As soon as Baifanyu heard this, he knew that Gao Yao had made up his mind. He also knew that he had no power to care about this, and he would become a villain in vain.

He said, "I can't control so much of the water thrown out by my married daughter."

"Hey, boy."

Baifanyu followed up with an angry voice: "Everything is going well with my family. If I hear that you are making such a fuss, I will fall out."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Gao Yao thought that as long as Axia was willing to help, Yue Chang would be fine.

As for Li Wanhua?
His eyes fell on He Xian.

"Brother Xian."

Gao Yao handed over his hand: "I would like to trouble Brother Xian to help you with this red line."

"Hahaha."

"Male talent and female appearance."

Seeing that Baifanyu had been dealt with, He Xian said, "Since Gao Sheng has spoken, I am willing to do my best."

"only."

He Xian coughed: "The Li family believes in God after all. Maybe the conditions may be harsh."

"will not."

Gao Yao said confidently: "Brother Xian, I am confident."

This face made me angry. This guy also looked like this when he came to ask for a hand in marriage.

Hey, I really don’t know if my precious daughter has lost her mind and why she fell in love with such a philandering carrot.

Therefore, Baifanyu is the strange thing at the moment. He Xian, who is standing in front of him, has several wives at home...

These days, who wants to be together for the rest of their lives?joke!

"Haha, if you are determined, you will win."

He Xian became energetic and said, "Okay, I will live up to my trust."

"Waiting for good news."

"Tarzan."

Gao Yao coughed: "My son-in-law is going back, I wonder if we can come together?"

“I’m so angry when I go back.”

Baifanyu yelled: "I'd better be more comfortable here to save myself a headache."

Gao Yao shrugged and could only say: "Okay, I'll go first."

"Brother Xian, I'm done."

When Gao was about to leave, Baifanyu couldn't help shouting: "This brat is really annoying."

"When I see a beauty, I want to take her home. Is the marriage complete?"

He Xian smiled and said, "Heroes love beauties."

"Hey, it's just too exaggerated."

Baifanyu said: "How long has it been since I married two wives in Jinmen? I will marry another one soon."

"If the outside world doesn't know, we still don't know what it will be like."

"Everyone speaks louder than others."

He Xian smiled: "Boss Bai, I think if a high school student cared about such worldly comments, he wouldn't have reached the heights he is today."

Seeing that Bai Fanyu was still struggling with this, he said meaningfully: "I heard that Hong Kong Island has listed the Gao family as one of the four major families."

"Of course, the population must be prosperous."

"You know, having more children means more blessings."

Baifanyu muttered: "I'm just complaining, this boy, will he listen to what I say?"

"So far, I've just listened to him."

"By the way, A-yin."

Baifanyu said: "Is this bastard Cheng Yiming a little over the line in what he has done recently?"

He Xian, who was doing the accounting, put down his abacus, frowned in thought,
"I heard the wind, it seems that Haojiang Station is short of food and clothing recently."

"Perhaps there is no money coming down from above."

"No wonder they come to beg for food."

"It's numb."

Baifanyu cursed: "These bad guys not only came to my hotel to ask for money, but also went to the water and fire company."

"A bunch of worms who only care about the people."

He Xian sighed: "We have been here before."

"Boss Bai, have you given it?"

"I'll definitely give it to you."

Baifanyu said: "The rivers and lakes are trying to help you, so you can't really deny it."

"But these you bastards have such a big appetite that even A Xin can't stand it."

"I didn't say that."

Baifanyu said: "Axian, your Haojiang Chamber of Commerce is just a little soft on the waist and doesn't dare to use force."

"Look at my uncle."

"If this bastard Cheng Yiming dares to ask my uncle for money, he won't even be able to get out of the door."

Earlier, this guy wanted to call Gao Yao Chen Shimei, but in the blink of an eye he wanted to praise her to the heavens again.

Of course, He Xian knew Gao Yao's reputation in Hong Kong Island. He was the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the master of the Chaozhou Gang. He had thousands or thousands of men under his command.

Does he not want to?

But there is no such condition here in Haojiang.

Don't worry, He Xian, Bai Fanyu and others are prospering in gold smuggling, but their situation is different from that of Gao Yao.

How many people can start work with the Golden Alliance?How to compare?
"peace brings money."

He Xian smiled bitterly, and then said: "Perhaps these guys will stop after the funds are allocated from above."

"I see it hard."

Baifanyu shook his head: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."

"They have become accustomed to collecting land. Even if the money is given out later, they may not stop."

"I do not mind."

Bai Fanyu said: "Anyway, I don't stay here very often. Out of sight, out of mind."

"It's you, A-Xian."

Baifanyu said: "You are now a big tree attracting the wind, be careful to shoot the first bird."

The atmosphere here in Haojiang is really bad recently.

Think about it, the Fu family, the powerful Fu family in Haojiang!

As a result, the father and son were kidnapped by the criminals one after another. How crazy is this?
"It's okay."

He Xian was very calm. He said: "It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided."

"If this day comes to pass, I, A-Xian, will consider myself unlucky."

He followed Sa Ran and smiled: "It's you, Boss Bai."

He Xian warned: "The recent rumors are not right."

"I heard that there are quite a few Datian Er and Hua Mulan passing through."

He Xian was indeed a little worried. The public security in Haojiang was really bad, and the key notes were useless.

It's completely laissez-faire.

"If you ask me, it's better not to stay with Haojiang these days."

"Am I afraid?"

Baifanyu patted his chest: "Don't worry."

"I'm not a freeloader either."

He said loudly: "If you need people, you need guns. If it doesn't work, just do it."

……

After Gao Yao returned, he immediately announced to Bai Yuechang and Axia that he was planning to marry his third wife.

He is a magnanimous person, and he will definitely say anything beforehand.

For this reason, I was even prepared for a lot of chaos.

"That's it?"

Bai Yuechang picked up Axia and left: "I thought it was a big deal."

"no?"

Gao Yao was a little confused: "Aren't you... angry?"

Bai Yuechang turned around: "You can't change it even if you're angry."

"and."

She sighed: "It's really deserted here."

"You're so powerful, it would be nice to have someone to share the burden with you."

Gao Yao kept blinking.

Axia said softly: "Brother Yao, you are the head of the Gao family. It is good that you can inform us about such things."

"Relax."

The two women just left like that?
Gao Yao scratched his head and called Lin Jing: "What have the ladies been doing lately?"

Lin Jing hurriedly said: "Sir, the two ladies often go to Yanchuan Bay Hongxiang Lu Temple to burn incense recently."

Gao Yaodeng was stunned and asked for a son?
