Chapter 9: Encountering danger
Not far away from home, Shen Ziyu saw Li Changsheng looking left and right, avoiding high-end restaurants. He immediately understood Li Changsheng's idea, but he didn't know what to say at this time. He just looked aside and laughed to himself. Shen Ziyu wanted to say that he paid him to have western steak and coffee, but he was afraid of hurting Li Changsheng's self-esteem. So he pretended not to know anything, talked and laughed with Li Changsheng, walked five or six streets, and finally walked out of this rich area.
Suddenly, Li Changsheng's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. He saw a sign of Shaxian snacks at the entrance of an alley in front of him, which made him feel like a treasure. At the door of Shaxian snack bar, he hesitated and felt embarrassed.
Shen Ziyu said with a smile, "Mr. Changsheng is really a connoisseur of food! Fujian Shaxian snacks have authentic taste. Although these snack bars are all in an inconspicuous corner, they are rare authentic food in Fujian Province. In those high-end restaurants, the food is basically made of seasonings, with the same taste. It is far inferior to these special snacks. Moreover, proper exercise before breakfast is good for our appetite."
Li Changsheng is not stupid. He understands that Shen Ziyu is defending his self-esteem. But since he saw through this matter, Li Changsheng put down his burden instead, grinned and admitted: "Today, I'm short of money, so it doesn't count I pay you for the breakfast this morning. When the boss gives me a red envelope at the end of the year, I will definitely invite Ziyu to Shanhaitian to have the most authentic Guangdong morning tea!"
Shen Ziyu also laughed: "Mr. Changsheng is really straightforward and lovely! OK, I remember! You owe me an authentic Guangdong morning tea! Don't feel sorry for your money at the end of the year."
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "I'm not a good moneymaker, but I won't renege on my promise to others."
When they entered the shop, Li Changsheng ordered a bowl of Pork Heart Wonton for each person, and ordered Shen Ziyu two preserved eggs separately. The proprietress of the small restaurant came to wipe the black greasy table with a duster cloth and added jasmine tea to the Coarse porcelain teacup in front of them.
Shen Ziyu took a sip from his tea cup and stopped drinking after putting it down. He had never drunk such bad tea since he was a child, nor had he ever been to such a place.
This small restaurant has only a few tables, but business is good. The tables are not empty because the guests keep coming in. Huangpu Port District in Guangzhou is characterized by a large number of migrant workers, so this small restaurant is very popular all day long.
It's just that in such a small alley restaurant, although the food is cheap, the quality of the diners cannot be high. The dining environment is noisy, the hotel is small, and several tables of people are almost sitting back to back. Three stevedores in dirty short coats and towels around their necks were talking loudly behind them, and the smell of sweat came from their bodies. On the table next to them were four stevedores with dust on their clothes and shoes. One of them had a bowl of wonton noodles, and the four of them also had a plate of garlic cucumber and a bottle of cheap corn wine. They were just like eating a royal banquet. They were excited and laughing and talking.
Shen Ziyu could not help frowning. Li Changsheng noticed his expression and regretted it. Shen Ziyu is still a white suit with spotless peaked cap, short hair like ink covering eyebrows.With white skin and clean clothes he was sitting there like a beautiful man with sunshine and flowers around.Li Changsheng really feel like a white jade covered with dirty dust. Li Changsheng finds Shen Ziyu simply sitting there, his temperament incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Li Changsheng sighed: "I was wrong. Different circles do not need to blend with each other. Ziyu, a young man from a noble family, should eat steak and drink red wine in a high-end luxury restaurant. We are people of different classes. The great poet Qu Yuan said," Noble people don't need to pollute their bodies and minds with secular dust. "You wait outside. I'll pack the food and we'll take it home to eat.
Shen Ziyu said with a smile: "Mr. Changsheng, you don't have to blame yourself. There is a Chinese saying that kings and emperors are not born, but they struggle. We are the same class now, and we all came to the society alone after graduating from college. Now the country and society are chaotic and dirty. Where can you escape this kind of pollution? Haven't you heard another sentence? that is:If the river is clear, we can use it to drink. If the river is muddy, we can use it to wash away the mud on our feet." Then he took the cup on the table and drank it all.
When Li Changsheng looked at Shen Ziyu, a sentence suddenly appeared in his heart: "Elegance comes from the bone.". There is a saying in the Legend of Heroes of Children that only the great heroes can remain unchanged, and only the truly educated can calmly face all environments. Who are Shen Ziyu's parents? What kind of family business can cultivate such noble children? Shen Ziyu is elegant and knowledgeable. Li Changsheng used the poems of the great poet Qu Yuan to say that the noble should stay away from the humble environment. Shen Ziyu skillfully responded with the words of fishermen to Qu Yuan, saying that a person should let nature take its course. Clear water can be used for drinking, and turbid water can also be used to wash the mud off his feet. Don't let yourself not adapt to the social environment.
Li Changsheng remembered a sentence in Dumas Dumas' book that he saw in the library. The so-called noble temperament is only because of the cultural heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years.
There is a table near the window. Several young men in black dress eat around the table. One of them, a middle-aged bald man with shiny gold front teeth, stared at Shen Ziyu's face with obscene eyes. At this time, he felt a surge of alcohol. He could not resist the inner impulse any longer and simply walked up to Shen Ziyu and said, "Wow! Such a handsome young man is more beautiful than a pretty girl, which is really rare." He said with a pair of fat hands stretched towards Shen Ziyu's chin, and several people at his table immediately beat the table and whistled.
"Bang!". Not only did the whistling at the table suddenly stop, but also the noise of the shop immediately disappeared. Everyone focused on Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng stood up, his eyes wide open, and he was furious. He looked like he would kill anyone who dared to block him. The obscene bald middle-aged man now sat on the ground, his hands covering his eyes and screamed, and blood ran out of his hands. It turned out that Li Changsheng hit him on the eye socket with his left hand. When Li Changsheng saw the obscene bald man with a fat stomach stretching his hand, he didn't even think about it. He stopped with his right hand and left fist went out of the way. He didn't have much actual fighting experience, just wanted to hit the bald man's face, but unexpectedly he hit his eyes.
Li Changsheng was also surprised at his reaction speed and strength. It seemed that as soon as he had an idea, his fist went out. Then the bald man fell to the ground and screamed. Just like lightning and thunder, the action was completed, and his mind was very calm from beginning to end. He didn't know that he had been absorbing the energy of heaven and earth every day since he learned the Basic Building Skill. So he did not realize that his physical quality had been greatly improved.
Everyone did not expect that this gentle and amiable young man, dressed in a gray robe and wearing black cloth shoes, seemed to be a bookkeeper in a business firm at the wharf,actually knocked down the bald man with one punch, and there was no sign in advance. When the bald man came over with evil intentions, Shen Ziyu sat quietly as usual and did not move at all. However, he now also opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Changsheng in surprise.
The three comrades of the bald man gathered around and shouted, "Boss! Condor!"
The bald man's nickname was Condor. He covered his left eye with one hand and pointed to Li Changsheng, saying, "You guys drag him out of the restaurant. Don't let him run to the main road and break his legs." His comrades immediately surrounded Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng looked very upright and fearless. The energy in his body flows rapidly, filling his viscera and limbs. This is when the body is in danger. The two kinds of energy collected for half a year will automatically fill the body.
Two stout guys with blue dragons tattooed on their arms rushed to catch Li Changsheng. Li Changsheng was sensitive and accurate. He grabbed their wrists as soon as they reached out, and then tried to throw them aside. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred. there was a clear sound of bone fracture. The two guys screamed at the same time, collapsed, and their wrists were broken.
