Rebirth 1983

Chapter 39 Not Everyone Can Do It

"It's so unpalatable, refund your money."

The man was not easy to get along with, he grabbed Chen Zhiguo by the collar and stared at him fiercely.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhiguo grabbed the man's wrist, but found that the man's hand was so strong that he couldn't break free. He blushed: "You didn't come to buy food, you came to make trouble, right?"

"Troubleshooting? Do you think I'm a gangster?" The man became even more upset, his hands became stronger, and he yelled at Chen Zhiguo angrily, "Don't you know how unpalatable the food you made? You think I'm a gangster? You deserve to be beaten by me!"

As he spoke, the man raised his fist high, and pointed at Chen Zhiguo demonstratively.

The quarrel between the two of them immediately attracted the flow of people around.

Everyone saw that the two were about to fight, and immediately stepped forward to persuade them to fight. People nowadays are relatively simple, and when they see a fight, they will help to dissuade them and mediate.

The man didn't really want to hit him, so he let go of Chen Zhiguo's collar, and was pulled away by everyone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Zhiguo was released, seeing so many people at the scene, he seemed full of confidence, and immediately howled: "Everyone, look, this is the person, he is a bastard, deliberately said that my food is unpalatable, and wants me to pay for it!"

"You bastard, courting death!"

Chen Zhiguo's words immediately angered this man, the man stepped forward angrily, but the people around didn't react, they saw him punch Chen Zhiguo directly in the face, Chen Zhiguo didn't have time to react, he fell to the side directly, spit out a tooth with blood in his mouth.

The onlookers were flustered, and hurriedly grabbed him and helped Chen Zhiguo up. Seeing that the man wanted to continue beating him, several people immediately hugged him to stop him from doing it.

"Why bother, why are you beating so hard?"

"What kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, the teeth have been knocked out, is it really a bum?"

The onlookers outside talked a lot, looking at the beating man full of fear.

"Don't stop me, this guy is talking nonsense. I think the lobster at this guy's stall is very unpalatable. I want to refund the money, but this guy dares to beat him up. I can't kill him."

The man's fiery temper can be seen, even if he is being hugged and pulled, his angry look and the strength of forcibly dragging the people around him make many people around him take a few steps back, for fear of being caught in a catastrophe.

Chen Zhiguo was helped up, but he was still not sober, and was supported to sit beside him.

Some people around listened to the man's words, were dubious, and tried to lift the lid of Chen Zhiguo's wooden barrel. After seeing the lobster inside, they grabbed one to try, but unexpectedly spit it out in one gulp.

"It's really unpalatable..."

The person who tasted it vomited completely, and shook his head to the people around him, indicating that this food is really bad.

"The police are here."

The surrounding people shouted outside, and suddenly the crowd dispersed into a small path, and two uniformed policemen walked in, looked at the situation in front of them, and frowned.

Since the crackdown, there have been very few people fighting on the street. After all, a large number of people have been arrested and eaten bullets. How can anyone commit crimes against the wind?

When the policemen saw this situation, they thought it was a bastard who wanted to collect protection money from the stall owner, but the surrounding people talked about the whole thing, which made the two policemen frown.

This turned out to be an incident where a quarrel escalated into a fight because of unpalatable food!

"It's really hard to eat?"

"It's very unpalatable. I don't even want to eat it if you give it to me."

The person who tasted it seemed to remember the taste again, and replied with an ugly face.

Of the two policemen, the younger one seemed curious, asked a few people around, and whispered a few words to the leading policeman.

"Are you going to try it?" The leading policeman asked him to try it.

The young policeman nodded, grabbed a lobster in the barrel, took a sip first, his expression changed instantly, he immediately bent down and retched, quickly opened a green water bottle that he brought with him, and poured water into his mouth.

Now, everyone believed it.

At first, I thought the sampler was a trick, but the police thought the lobster was unpalatable.

"Reckless, so many lobsters, all wasted."

In the crowd, an old man walked out, wearing a T-shirt from the No. [-] Iron and Steel Plant, waving a fan, pawing the lobster in the barrel, and said a few words with regret.

"Secretary Chen, are you here?"

The leading policeman smiled and greeted the uncle called Secretary Chen.

"What kind of secretary? I'm just a retired employee of a steel plant, and now I'm just an old man passing by." This uncle is Chen Song's regular customer of crayfish, especially likes to eat crayfish and buys a bottle of beer.

Secretary Chen was at the grassroots level in the countryside when he was young. At that time, he was poor. Not to mention meat, he could not have enough food. His favorite thing was to go to the ditch pond to catch lobsters and eels to improve his food. However, as his rank rose later, he returned to the county and was able to eat enough.

So, I come here every day to wait for Chen Song's small stall, just thinking about recalling the past and tasting the taste of the past.

Unexpectedly, just after eating next door today, I saw a fight nearby because the crayfish was unpalatable.

As for the uncle, he is old and doesn't care much about fighting, but only cares about such a big bucket of lobster. It would be a pity if it were really so unpalatable.

"You guys deal with it. It's a pity. The crayfish next door tastes authentic."

The uncle shook his head, left anyway, and walked towards Chen Song.

The two policemen scratched their heads, feeling that this matter had been dealt with for a long time. Although it was a bit nonsensical, the fight happened for real, so they decided to follow the procedure.

"You two, follow us back to the police station first."

The police took the beating man and Chen Zhiguo away, but the crowd of onlookers hadn't dispersed yet.

"Master, what just happened over there?"

Chen Song and Daniel were busy dishing out crayfish for everyone. Although they saw the crowds gathering nearby, they didn't know what happened.
"Oh, someone wasted good ingredients and was beaten. The police are here."

The uncle said it calmly, as if he had just watched a monkey show.

Chen Song nodded, but he didn't care. After all, he was really busy now. There was only one bucket of three buckets of lobster left, and the two boxes of beer that Daniel bought just now were all gone.

This business is very good.

The uncle got the lobster and the last bottle of beer, and walked towards the crowd that hadn't dispersed yet.

These people saw the uncle who had just left, holding a plate of crayfish, nibbling quietly and tastefully, and occasionally drinking a can of beer beside him, his expression made people itch.

"Master, you lobster..."

"Next door, next door." Looking at their expressions, the uncle knew what they wanted to ask, and pointed to Chen Song and the other three who were busy.

The people who tried the crayfish just now took the lead and ran to Chen Song's side in a hurry. Everyone realized it later, and then they all stepped forward and gathered towards Chen Song's stall.

"Why are there so many people suddenly?" Daniu looked at the crowd that suddenly surrounded him, but there was no worry on his face, and he became even more excited.

"Who knows? Maybe it's word of mouth."

Chen Song handed out a plate of lobster again, feeling that his hands were starting to feel sore, and just about to wipe the sweat off his face, Wang Yao next to him held a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and face.

Chen Song was taken aback for a moment, and smiled gratefully at Wang Yao.

"I said Ah Song, I understand that this job is really not something everyone can do, let alone whether the lobster can be delicious, the acquisition and processing of so many lobsters is a big problem. Others can't learn our taste."

Da Niu paused, seeing Wang Yao wiping Chen Song's sweat, the words in his mouth had just been spoken, but felt that they were disturbed.
