Cheng Fengtai is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, ready to go to Tianqiao, Shang Xirui thinks his attire is inappropriate, too eye-catching, too underrated, incompatible with Tianqiao's geography and culture, but he can't say anything, let alone Cheng Fengtai's ordinary clothes The look of a gown. Cheng Fengtai asked Lao Ge to park the car far away at the entrance of the east alley, and he and Shang Xirui walked there on two legs, only about ten steps away, Shang Xirui suddenly grabbed Cheng Fengtai's walking stick and went to chop a passerby arm.
Cheng Fengtai exclaimed in surprise: "Boss Shang!" Why did this good guy go crazy
Shang Xirui swung a beautiful flower with his walking stick, gave the man a back and beat him to the ground on the spot. But the man got up with hands and feet and didn't talk about arguing, but ran away, which was very suspicious.
Shang Xirui said angrily: "How dare you run!" After chasing him, he was hit with a few more sticks, especially on the weak tendons in his wrists, making the man cry.
"Ouch! Young Master! Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"
Shang Xirui pointed at him with his cane: "Hand over your wallet!"
The man thought that Guang Tianhua had met someone who robbed Dao, so he immediately offered his wallet with both hands.
Shang Xirui poked his forehead angrily: "I want the one you stole!"
He had already talked about this, and Cheng Fengtai hadn't come to his senses until the man shook out Cheng Fengtai's thin cowhide checkbook from his sleeve. Cheng Fengtai touched his pocket and exclaimed: "Oh, you are a thief!"
Shang Xirui still felt puzzled, so he slapped the thief hard twice, and the crowd cheered him up, this was the first time Shang Xirui had won someone outside of the stage, once he was proud, he hit the thief twice Next, beat the thieves to tears.
Shang Xirui said viciously: "If it wasn't for rushing to eat, I would have taken you to the police station! Second Master, let's go!" With him, eating is much more important than supporting justice, punishing rape and eradicating evil.
The two continued to walk to Huji Noodle House, Cheng Fengtai followed Shang Xirui with a surprised expression, smacking loudly. Shang Xirui turned around and returned the stick to him: "What's the matter, Second Master?"
Cheng Fengtai didn't pick it up, and said with a smile: "This thing is just a display for me. It can be used as a weapon with Boss Shang, so Boss Shang should take it."
Shang Xirui really took it, giggled and shook the flowers, passers-by hurriedly dodged him.
"Boss Shang is really skilled?"
Shang Xirui said: "I learned martial arts from a young age! I know how to play tricks."
"The trick you just did is quite powerful, it's not like a trick, it makes people scream!"
"It's a merchant's stick. It's the best to play on stage, and you can do two tricks off stage. Although it can't be called kung fu, it's enough to deal with such little thieves."
Cheng Fengtai said: "I see that you look like a big girl in women's clothing, and I thought you were so weak, otherwise, I wouldn't have stood up for you in the Huibin Building back then and been beaten."
Shang Xirui looked at him: "Ah! Do you regret it?"
Stared at by his dark eyes, Cheng Fengtai lost his mind and said: "How can you regret it? I'm willing to break a bone."
Shang Xirui smiled happily.
I have traveled all over Beiping, and Hu Ji's Zhajiang Noodles are the best. The ingredients are strong and the noodles are strong, and the sauce of the stew is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. Shang Xirui has to eat every few days, if he can't eat, he feels weak, like an addiction. It was because he came here often, and the shop assistants and regular customers all knew him. They knew that Shang Lang was soft-tempered and tender-skinned, and always liked to tease him around him, which was a bit unbearable.
Shang Xirui came into the shop, without waiting for Xiao Er to yell, he stuffed some money into his hand, then turned to ask Cheng Fengtai: "What does Second Master eat?"
Cheng Fengtai said: "I follow Boss Shang."
Shang Xirui then said softly: "Two bowls of fried sauce noodles, two bowls of Hu spicy soup, other dishes are the same, add two tea eggs."
The other dishes refer to a plate of sauced beef, a plate of crystal elbow, two tea eggs, a plate of shredded bamboo shoots in red oil, a casserole of twice-cooked pork, and a plate of duck bladder. When Shang Xirui came back here, because he didn't know Cheng Fengtai well enough, he didn't have the nerve to whet his appetite. This time is different. Cheng Fengtai listened to Xiao Er reporting the name of the dishes to Shang Xirui, looked at his thin body, thought that this little opera singer is not easy to raise, almost everyone would be poor just by eating.
Xiao Er nodded and wrote down one by one, Shang Xirui pressed his hand after ordering, and said with a straight face: "Take the remaining 20 cents, don't shout!"
Xiaoer nodded appreciatively and apprehensively, then turned around and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on a table with regular dishes! Add a side of hot and spicy tea eggs! Boss Shang rewards Ermao..." Shang Xirui interrupted him sharply: "Shut up! What did you say just now!" Xiaoer immediately changed his words: "Ah?... Oh! Boss Shang rewarded him with two cents, so he is not allowed to yell!"
This sound catches the ears more than any yelling, diners in the shop looked up at them one after another, and those who knew Shang Xirui greeted him: "Hey! Shang Lang is here!"
"Boss Shang, you look good! You've gained weight!"
"Shang Lang! What new play are you planning recently?"
Shang Xirui yelled angrily, glared at Xiao Er angrily, thinking he wouldn't be able to eat well today again, you idiot, did you do it on purpose!
Xiaoer ran away in despair. Cheng Fengtai laughed out loud.
Like last time, Shang Xirui greeted fans one by one, regardless of whether he knew them or not, and then endured the teasing while gnawing on the meat. Cheng Fengtai and Shang Xirui have known each other for over a year, but until today Cheng Fengtai felt that Shang Xirui finally regarded him as a close friend. Because every time he went to restaurants in the past, Shang Xirui not only eats a lot, but also eats very politely, he also knows to maintain his image, afraid of being laughed at. Throwing away Sven today, the urgency for food is close to that of a beast. When he sees the meat of the elbow, his eyes glow red, and his small white teeth are cold. Cheng Fengtai would let him go at the table, and would even involuntarily pick up vegetables and ladle soup for him, for fear that he would chew on his chopsticks, so he frowned and said with a smile: "Boss Shang, slow down, the second master won't fight with you, It's all yours. Really. If it's not enough, let's add more."
The other diners in the noodle shop seemed to be used to seeing Shang Xirui's little-known side, he ate like a torrent, they didn't let him go, and surrounded him to tease him.
"Boss Shang! You know, buddy, I still like your Wusheng! Enough strength! The Zhao Zilong in "Changbanpo" grabs too much! After singing, he can still stay in the same place by relying on the flag! Really! !"
The buddy smacked his lips and shook his head, with a look of admiration and endless aftertaste. Cheng Fengtai can understand his mood very well, he is a serious person who has studied in university for two years, and when he commented on Shang Xirui's plays, he still felt that there were many words that did not convey the meaning. These mud-legged coolies were even more speechless, so they could only shout hello with all their strength.
"It really looks like Zhao Zilong! Boss Shang!"
Shang Xirui raised his head and smiled at the man, chewing his mouth full, unable to find space to speak.
"Boss Shang! I think you still have to go back to the theater. The theater is a place for foreigners. It's not suitable for our Beijing opera."
Shang Xirui desperately swallowed what was in his mouth: "Why?" After asking, he immediately stuffed noodles into his mouth.
"This... I think it's not lively. There are food and drinks in the theater, and the big guys are eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and they all cheer together. It's very interesting, isn't it?"
Someone nearby agreed: "That's right! Theater tickets are more expensive than theater theaters, and the ticket inspectors still choose our clothes, and those with rolled trouser legs will not be allowed in!"
"That's right! You have to buy a seat far away, so you won't be able to see your figure."
"You can't just sing operas for the officials and rich masters in the Qingfeng Grand Theater, Boss Shang! You think of us more, Boss Shang! We are the ones who really praise you!"
Shang Xirui already felt the same way, and when the audience responded today, he nodded vigorously: "That's right!" But he still had food in his mouth, and when he spoke, when he said the word "wrong", a section of noodles sprayed all over his mouth. It's on the table. Shang Xirui blushed. In order not to embarrass Shang Lang, everyone pretended not to see it. As they said, they really admire Shang Lang, which is reflected in all aspects and details. They are enthusiastic and loyal, and the outside and the inside are the same, which is different from the high-ranking officials who regard Shang Lang as an ornament to show their status.
Shang Xirui swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "I've thought about what you said. It's not like I don't sing in the theater now! Isn't there three days every Monday, Wednesday and Friday? It's just that I don't sing new plays Take it."
"Why, Boss Shang! We really like your new play, it's very interesting!"
Shang Xirui said honestly: "If you sing a new play, you will be splashed with boiling water."
The young guy slapped the table angrily: "Which bastard dares to interfere with your show! Boss Shang! Please sign up! Tell me! Our brothers will beat you up!"
"That's right, Boss Shang! The one who poured boiling water on you is a son of a bitch, we don't have one! Boss Shang! You can't implicate us! Everyone thinks, right?"
There was a noisy response all around.
Cheng Fengtai couldn't help but interjected: "Didn't Boss Shang say that new plays should be sung no matter what, so you're not afraid of being splashed with boiling water?"
Shang Xirui said: "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of guns, but of boiling water?"
Everyone thought it was true, otherwise Commander Cao would have nothing to do with you, you are so pissy!
"I'm afraid of my costume!" Shang Xirui said sadly: "How many clothes can be splashed with tea soup like this. I don't dare to take such a good dress to the theater, and put it in the theater, everyone can't see it Clear." He smiled softly as he spoke, "I'm having a hard time too."
Everyone praised Shang Xirui's new play together, and condemned the bastard who was looking for trouble. You said nothing to me, and you didn't discuss any practical solutions. A brawny man let out a loud voice to silence the crowd, and said boldly, "Boss Shang! Don't be afraid, and don't make trouble. In your field, let’s just hit the ground and give him a good meal! Who would dare to show his teeth if he is scared? Wouldn’t it be all right?”
Everyone thought this method was very good, and they scrambled to show their loyalty, saying: "That's right! Let him do it with you, let us do it with him!"
"We're not from Xiyuanzi, nor from your Shuiyun Tower. You have nothing to do with what happens! We're just making fun of it!"
Shang Xirui shook his head lightly and laughed, he didn't say please or don't, it seemed like an attitude of acquiescence. Cheng Fengtai watched him from the sidelines these days and felt that Shang Xirui was such a person - he never tolerated grievances by himself, whenever someone asked him about his difficulties, he would confess them to the people around him. If a person is willing to help after listening to it, he will not stop it out of the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less. If the listener has nothing to say, he will not hint or persuade others to do something for him. This is true for the seat, and it is also the same for the colleagues in the Shuiyun Tower. He is so calm, but he always loves him, and there are more people who are willing to protect him. Needless to say those shrews in Shuiyun Building, even those who met by chance, there are many who are willing to stab him because they worship him. They are too eager to protect Shang Xirui, and they often make troubles about the detainment of troublemakers by Director Zhou for public purposes, which actually ruined Shang Xirui's reputation and gave birth to the theory of "play bully". Some thoughtful people have to guess that Shang Xirui is actually a very scheming person, he puts others ahead in everything and stands by himself.
For these criticisms, Cheng Fengtai thought it was all Shang Xirui's own fault. Although it was unintentional instigation, but judging from some of the results caused by his "not forbearance", isn't it just "playing bully" and "standing on the shore". If something goes wrong and Shang Xirui looks back to calm it down, it will be too late.
Shang Xirui did not express his opinion, and everyone became more convinced of this method of using violence to control violence. Taking advantage of their quarrel, Shang Xirui ate all the noodles and twice-cooked pork, wiped his mouth, and said: "I appreciate the kindness of all uncles and brothers! I will definitely go to the theater more in the future. But I can't let go of Qingfeng Theater either. To be honest Ladies and gentlemen, there are many people in Shuiyun Tower, and they all rely on the support of the next person. As for Qingfeng Theater, it is indeed more profitable than Xiyuanzi. If we leave, we will not be able to support this big family!"
This is the truth. Most of Shang Xirui's income is to subsidize Shuiyunlou, the huge troupe, because of poor management, has become a burden that Shang Xirui cannot shake off. Cheng Fengtai thought to himself that they are so famous, no one will believe them when they cry poor, don't think Shang Xirui is cheating. Unexpectedly, everyone at the scene believed it, nodded and said: "There are also big difficulties. It can be seen that you are not a person who can take care of things. You can't figure it out, so you can spend short money. Hey! Anyway, you can stay wherever you like Just show us your voice so we can hear you!"
Shang Xirui smiled silently, thanking him for understanding.
