Chapter 435 A Group of Spirited Young Men
"The stuff is good!"
The stall owner unscrewed the beer can and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling. "The owner of Dacun is honest, the skewers are generous, and the prices are fair. But since last month, there have been inexplicable rumors about people getting sick from eating at his place. There are also people who come to cause trouble in the middle of the night, smashing plates, swearing, and threatening to break customers' legs if they come again."
“After a long time, who would dare to go?”
He looked around and said in a softer voice, "I heard that he offended someone he shouldn't have offended."
"Then no one called the police?"
Lu Yao naturally placed the peeled and strung crayfish in front of Su Qian, then took out a wet tissue, gently held her oily hand, and wiped it carefully.
"I called the police. They were a bunch of spirited young men from the neighborhood. They weren't afraid of wearing shoes when they were barefoot. They were even proud of being in jail. They were put in jail for three to five days and then released."
The stall owner gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Later, those bratty guys learned their lesson. Whenever someone came into the shop, they would intimidate and threaten them, but they wouldn't resort to violence. The police couldn't do anything about them."
"We are all ordinary people who come here to consume. It doesn't matter where we eat. There is no need to worry about stuttering."
After listening to it, Su Qian nodded.
A spirited young man.
That's no wonder, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.
At such a young age, they don't go to school and hang out everywhere. Ten people can't even afford a night in an Internet cafe.
He even took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments after being taken to the police station.
He looks like he's pretty cool in society.
"These guys hang around the store every day."
The stall owner followed her gaze and lowered his voice, saying, "Yesterday, a young man came in without knowing the situation and ordered two skewers of meat. Before he could even take two bites, he was surrounded and cursed. They forced him to apologize before letting him go."
“So arrogant!”
Xiaoliu slammed the table, pressing his greasy hands hard on the wooden table, causing the cups and plates to clink.
Before he finished speaking.
The glass door of Dacun BBQ Bar was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
Several thugs with dyed yellow hair walked out swaggeringly. One of them deliberately knocked over the trash can at the door, and the garbage was scattered all over the floor.
"It's no fun to stay at this crappy barbecue restaurant every day."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with dyed yellow hair, wearing tight pants and loafers, kicked the can that rolled down at his feet.
"Guard for another two hours, shall we play billiards?"
Another yellow-haired man had a lewd expression on his face, "I heard that there's a beautiful assistant coach at the billiard hall up ahead."
The yellow-haired man licked his lips, his eyes full of ill intentions.
"If you have money, go play billiards. Teaching assistants are not cheap." A yellow-haired man sneered.
"Brother Ming hired us to guard here during this period. I didn't even want to spend fifty dollars a day," the young man with dyed yellow hair smiled proudly.
"Hey, I didn't realize you were so good at hiding your money. We guys have already used it up on our overnight stay at the internet cafe."
"Come on, let's play for half an hour. Brother Ming won't notice. I'll treat you!"
"You are such a loyal boy!"
The yellow-haired guys laughed and pushed each other as they walked towards the billiard hall.
As they passed by Su Qian, the boy in tight pants kept looking back, drooling at the shiny crayfish on Su Qian's table. "Hey guys, those crayfish look so delicious, all red and greasy!"
"Just swallow your saliva."
The other yellow-haired man patted the back of his head and said, "We only make fifty yuan a day, but a meal of crayfish would cost two or three hundred yuan. We might as well save up some money and book a night at an internet cafe."
The yellow-haired leader sneered and deliberately raised his voice: "When I get a big boss, I'll eat lobster and beer every day, and every meal will be different!"
The laughter of several people mixed with the noisy voices on the street.
Gradually dissipated into the night.
Su Qian listened to the entire conversation between the few people and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"You are indeed a spirited young man."
Su Qian watched them go away, gently placed the crayfish shell in her hand on the plate, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Fifty yuan can get someone to guard the store as a door god, this deal is really worthwhile."
"Sister, do you want me to tie them up?"
Xiaoliu blinked his eyes, his face full of excitement.
"Need not."
Su Qian smiled lightly, already having other plans in mind.
I originally thought they were some bullies, but they turned out to be just a few minors being used as pawns.
"Boss, check out!"
Su Qian called out to the stall owner.
After paying the bill, she walked straight to Dacun BBQ Bar across the street.
…
"These yellow-haired people come to our house every day and we can't get rid of them!"
In the barbecue restaurant.
A woman in an apron was wiping the table with an angry look on her face.
“How can we continue this business?”
The man in the gray apron slammed the tongs down on the grill, sending sparks flying high. "We finally managed to get two tables of customers in yesterday, and those yellow-haired guys are causing trouble again, threatening and intimidating the customers. If this continues, who will dare to come?"
The girl at the cashier's counter clutched her calculator with trembling fingers. "I can barely pay my utility bills this month. Those bastards hang around the store entrance every day, and customers take a detour when they see them from afar."
"How about we call the police?"
"What's the point of calling the police?"
The bespectacled old clerk shook his head and sighed, wiping the already clean glass. "Last time, they soaked all the customer's skewers in a bucket of dirty water. The police came and gave them a few scoldings before letting them go. They're minors, so their mistakes aren't a big deal. Instead, they make things worse!"
Just as everyone was sighing, the glass door suddenly dinged.
Su Qian walked in with Lu Yao and Xiao Liu.
The warm yellow light fell on their shoulders, startling the shop assistants and making them look up - ever since that group of yellow-haired people started causing trouble, there had been very few customers in the store.
"Welcome..."
The uncle was stunned for a moment and subconsciously tried to wipe the oil stains off his apron.
Su Qian smiled and sat down in an empty seat, her eyes sweeping over the crooked business license on the wall. "I heard your skewers are generously portioned?"
"Sister, this way please——"
One of the female waiters smiled and said, "There's a private room here, it's quieter."
"Just in the lobby, it's lively."
Su Qian smiled and pushed the menu back, her eyes fixed on the center of the hall.
The shop assistants looked at each other in confusion. The woman in the floral apron came over, rubbing her hands. There was a half-broken pencil stuck in her apron pocket. "Girl, why don't we go to the private room? The hall is drafty and the smoke is heavy..."
"It's okay, I just love the smell of fireworks."
Su Qian moved closer to Lu Yao, and Xiao Liu had already unpacked the disposable chopsticks skillfully.
"Give me thirty skewers of lamb, twenty skewers of beef, and ten skewers of grilled meat..." Su Qian ordered a lot in one breath.
The aunt's hand holding the order book trembled slightly, and the tip of the pencil poked a small dent in the paper: "Little girl, can you finish all this?"
She glanced outside the store anxiously.
“Add a roasted eggplant and more minced garlic.”
Su Qian closed the menu and smiled, "Don't worry, we can finish it."
Auntie responded and quickly went to prepare the ingredients.
The uncle stood in front of the grill holding tongs. The flames made his face look gloomy and uncertain. The skewers kept turning in his palms. From time to time, he looked up to look outside the store, fearing that the yellow-haired guys would suddenly appear.
