Chapter 908 923 【King the King】Part [-]
Hong Kong, Outlying Islands——
The outlying islands of Hong Kong were also called "Snake Island" in the past, because it was very remote and almost uninhabited at the time. There were all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants growing on the entire island, among which snakes were the majority.

Until the outlying islands were gradually developed, those snakes gradually disappeared, and most of them were made into "snake soup" and "snake ointment" by the local people, which became people's delicacy.

In outlying islands, almost no one knows the name of "Snake King Tao".

The reason why Snake King Tao is called "Snake King" is because he has the secret skill of making "Snake King Soup". All Hong Kong people who come to outlying islands or tourists from other places will come to the old "Snake Soup" shop opened by him. , Try the "Snake King Soup" he made by himself.

At this moment, this old snake soup shop is empty of any customers.

Because the boss "Snake Wang Tao" received a call and accepted a private business.

For him, he sold [-] bowls of "snake soup" every day, and each bowl was calculated at [-] Hong Kong dollars, and he only earned [-] Hong Kong dollars.

But today, the person who reserved the room directly gave him [-] Hong Kong dollars.

For Snake Wangtao, it was equivalent to five days of business.

Just as Snake Wangtao looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost noon, and when he wondered why the customers hadn't come yet, a stretched Lincoln sedan with a black license plate with three "8"s parked in front of his snake soup shop.

Because the snake soup shop is not big, most of the people who come here to eat snake soup are tourists, so it is rare to see people coming in luxury cars.

Therefore, many aboriginal residents from the outlying islands would gather around curiously to see what important person came to eat snake soup.

Under the curious gazes of the natives on the outlying islands, the car door opened, and a man who looked like a driver came down from above, and then the driver helped open the door, and two men got out of the car separately.

The two men looked somewhat alike, both in suits and leather shoes, and looked full of style.

When Snake Wangtao saw them, he hurried forward to greet them, calling them "Mr. Kang".

That's right, it is the two brothers of the Hong Kong Kang family who came to eat snake soup on the outlying island in front of them-Kang Yongren and Kang Yonglian.

Kang Yonglian was obviously dissatisfied with this backward place and the bad environment around him, especially when he saw the natives on outlying islands staring at him, he said angrily, "What do you monkeys look at, have you never seen a rich man?"

Seeing that Kang Yonglian was so arrogant, those outlying islanders didn't know his details, so they rushed away.

"Boss, it's so dirty here, what's there to eat!" Kang Yonglian covered his nose with a handkerchief, looked at the "dirty and messy" snake soup shop, and frowned to his elder brother Kang Yongren.

Next to him, Snake King Tao felt a little upset when he saw Kang Yonglian belittle his shop so much, so he argued: "Boss, you are here for snake soup, not for western food—why are there so many demands!"

Kang Yongren just laughed, and said to his younger brother Kang Yonglian: "A big store has the benefits of a big store, and a small place has the benefits of a small place-trust me, the snake soup here is very nourishing!"

Hearing this, Kang Yonglian shrugged his shoulders and wanted to remove the handkerchief covering his nose, but he still couldn't stand the smell of snakes in the store.

Go inside the store.

There were eight or nine small tables, and each table was surrounded by four small benches. Both the tables and the benches were greasy.

Kang Yonglian suspected that scraping with his fingers could even remove a layer of snake oil.

Snake Wang Tao graciously invited the Kang brothers to sit down, and personally wiped the table and benches with a rag, and then asked, do you want to start making snake soup now?

Kang Yongren waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, there is still a guest who hasn't arrived."

Snake Wangtao then ordered the dumb apprentice to serve tea to the two of them first, and explained that this was not ordinary tea, but the "raw tea" that must be drunk before eating snake soup --- it was made by himself, Snake Wangtao himself, with a secret recipe. The traditional Chinese medicinal materials, not to mention invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, the most important thing is to improve the ability of diners' stomach to absorb snake soup. Taste delicious."

Regarding Snake Wangtao's rhetoric, Kang Yongren nodded frequently, but Kang Yonglian scoffed.

After the water blowing snake king Tao left, Kang Yonglian picked up the cup of "raw tea" and took a sip, puffed it out, and sprayed it directly, "What, it smells like a stench!" While speaking, Kang Yonglian kept poohing Phew, spit, wanting to spit out the tea in his mouth.

However, Kang Yongren took a leisurely taste of the "raw tea", and he didn't think the tea tasted weird at all. He said in his mouth: "Snake root vine, angelica, schisandra, and licorice... the taste of these medicinal materials combined, it is still delicious. It’s really not something ordinary people can bear.”

Kang Yonglian: "..."

Speechless.

In his opinion, his eldest brother is simply a freak, like a lunatic, who likes to do things that ordinary people can't bear.

Because of this, Kang Yonglian has always been afraid of him.

……

While Kang Yongren was drinking tea, the guest they were waiting for came.

Taking off his prison police uniform, Le Jun, who put on casual clothes, walked into the shop with a briefcase in his hand.

Le Jun looked around vigilantly, and saw that apart from the boss and the dumb apprentice, there were only two Kang family brothers in the store, so he walked over and said respectfully to Kang Yongren who was drinking tea: " Mr. Kang, here I come!"

Kang Yongren looked at him and said with a smile: "It's good to come—you can eat snake soup when you come!" Then he clapped his hands and said to the boss Snake Wang Tao: "The guests are all here, let's start!"

Snake Wang Tao had noticed someone coming, and when he saw what Kang Yongren said, he told his dumb apprentice loudly, "Go and pick a snake from the snake cage at the back—you should pick a fatter snake. Mr. Kang and the others are our distinguished guests!"

The dumb apprentice screamed "Wah-wah", put on an apron, took a snake-skinning knife, and went to the backyard to pick snakes.

Le Jun didn't expect that Kang Yongren would let him eat snake soup first, so he picked up his briefcase and said, "Mr. Kang, these..."

Kang Yongren said calmly, "I'll see these things later—I believe in you, don't I?"

Le Jun wanted to say something, but Kang Yongren suddenly stood up, patted his shoulder with one hand and said, "Come on, let's pick the snake first—I'm not at ease if someone else picks it."

……

Snake soup shop, in the backyard——
As soon as people entered, they could smell a strong fishy smell.

In the small courtyard, there are seven or eight large cages, all of which are raised flower snakes of different sizes and colors, including vipers, black-headed snakes, king snakes and so on.

At this moment, the dumb apprentice was wearing a water skirt, babbling and picking snakes in the snake cage.

It may be because those snakes are too sharp, each of them poked their heads out, spitting snake letters, and showing their fangs from time to time, so that the dumb apprentice didn't dare to reach out to catch them for a while.

Kang Yonglian looked at so many shocking flower snakes, he was a little scared, and couldn't stand the fishy smell here, so he covered his nose with a handkerchief and said to his elder brother Kang Yongren: "Boss, just pick one at random, why bother?" Come here yourself!"

Although Le Jun didn't like the fishy smell here, his expression was very calm. Looking at the colorful and hideous snakes in the cage, he didn't even frown.

Kang Yongren had a panoramic view of Xi Lao and Le Jun's expressions, and said in his words: "Many things in this world have to be done by yourself---the more you are afraid of something, the more you have to face it, until the enemy Grab it in your hand, chop it into pieces, cook it into porridge, and swallow it in your stomach!"

While speaking, Kang Yongren strode forward, leaping over the dumb apprentice who was afraid to catch the snake, and grabbed the most arrogant and terrifying king snake out of the snake cage with his hand.

The big king snake was as thick as a child's arm. As soon as it was caught by the snake's head, it immediately twisted its body and wrapped itself around Kang Yongren's arm from the tail --- the maroon snake body wrapped around the arm, which was shocking!
