Chapter 11 - So valuable
According to the rules, Aoki cannot divulge customer information to others casually. But Ma Fuqing didn’t say ten words from beginning to end, and Qingmu didn’t have time to do anything, so he ran away. At this time, Ma Fuqing was not yet Aoki’s customer.
Aoki and Ma Fuqing have nothing to do with him, so naturally they don’t care about his business, but Ma Fuqing dropped a red envelope, which made Aoki have to do something, and Hu Xing happened to be beside him. Aoki reminded Hu Xing. Go check the case file. Regardless of whether it is found or not, it is considered to have fulfilled the obligation.
Aoki threw the red envelope to the busy lady boss behind the bar, and said, “Pay half a month’s rent first.”
Lifetime Flower took the red envelope, put it in her hand, and sneered, “Oh, what a great mallet!”
Aoki took out the cigarette box and wanted to smoke. When he found the box was empty, he crumpled it into a ball, flicked it lightly, and the paper ball made a beautiful arc and fell into the trash can in the corner.
Bishenghua took a pack of Paramount from the smoke cabinet, threw the cigarette and red envelope to Aoki, and said, “You should keep it first. Don’t starve to death in my house someday. I can’t afford it.”
Aoki was not hypocritical, and said with a grin: “There will be a big business soon. When I have money, I will help you eat all the shops next door and open the Huahua Bar into the largest bar in this area.”
Lifetime Hua said disdainfully: “Fill your own belly first. Waiting for you to make money? My bar business is getting yellow early!”
Aoki opened the cigarette box, drew a cigarette, and skillfully popped the top cover of the Dupont lighter, which ignited.
The clear and melodious metal sound echoed in the quiet bar.
The lady boss who lowered her head and wiped the bottle suddenly raised her head, stared at Aoki for a few moments, grabbed the lighter, and said, “Oh, high class goods! Who delivered it? The policewoman?”
She played a few times with her fingers and sneered: “I can’t see it, it’s still an inverted post! Why don’t you let her pay the rent for you by asking someone to give you such an expensive lighter?”
“Is it expensive?”
“It’s more than ten thousand.”
Aoki was taken aback, the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled, and he said, “Then…or else, this is for you to pay for the rent?”
Lifetime Flower slapped the lighter heavily on the bar with a “slap”: “Who wants your broken lighter! What a sorrow!”
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the red envelope again and said: “I will accept the money. Let me say it first. The rent will be calculated separately. At most, this will count as your food expenses this month.”
…
At seven o’clock, the Ruhua Bar opened for business. The waiter moved the tables, chairs and benches to the door and lined them up.
There is a small stage in the middle of the lobby facing the door. A girl set up the microphone on the stage and began to adjust the guitar in her hand.
spent all his life behind the bar. She is the proprietress here and the bartender.
There are several traditional small bars like in Liuying Alley.
Since it is still early, there are no guests in the bar.
Aoki leaned against the bar boredly and drank a cold beer.
He watched the girl playing the guitar face to face, and asked Bishenghua: “New here?”
Lifetime Flower said: “Yes, college students, come here to work part-time.”
The girl sat on a high chair, tried a few guitar notes, and then began to sing. She sang a folk song first, and Aoki hadn’t heard it before, but felt that her voice was not bad, and there was an unspeakable sadness in her voice.
Aoki said to Bi Shenghua, “I’m afraid it’s impossible to sing like this. I can’t live in the town.”
Bi Shenghua said: “Some of the brothers in the band have something to do and can’t come. If you can find a rescue temporarily, it will be fine.”
Aoki glanced at the girl a few more times, just to match the girl’s eyes.
There is an inexplicable hollow in the girl’s eyes, like a lost soul.
Bi Shenghua said: “Why don’t you bring the coal boss down to perform a show soon, is it a rescue?”
Aoki quickly raised his hand to surrender: “Forget it, I’d better go out for a stroll.”
He drank the bottom of the wine glass, walked to the back hall and shouted to the upstairs: “Go shopping—” Then he walked out the back door of the bar.
As soon as he arrived on the street, there was a loud noise above his head, and the coal boss flew over with his wings flapping.
Aoki stretched out his arms and whistled like those second generation ancestors who played with eagles, intending to stop the crow on it.
Several girls on the street saw it and exclaimed: “Wow, so handsome! Is this an eagle?”
The coal boss ignored Aoki’s arm and stopped carelessly on the head of Aoki’s chicken coop. He even scratched his head with his paw.
“Can’t you save me some face?”
Aoki retracted his arms helplessly and shrugged at the girl next to him. That means, now you know why my hair is messed up.
The coal boss yelled as soon as he stopped: “Go shopping, go shopping!”
“Wow, it can talk!” Several girls approached excitedly, trying to tease the coal boss to talk.
Who knows that the coal boss raised his arrogant head and ignored them.
Disappointed, a girl stretched out the grilled sausage in her hand to the crow’s mouth: “You can eat it when you speak.”
The coal boss stretched his black neck with lightning speed, pecked on the grilled sausage, and then tilted his head and shouted, “Beauty, beauty!”
The girl screamed with excitement, and other girls followed suit and took out the snacks in their pockets for the coal boss to eat.
There is a crow on his head, his scalp is hurt by bird claws, and a group of girls are surrounded by them, rushing to deliver food to your eyes, but they are not for you. Aoki felt that instead of keeping a pet, he was raised as a pet.
The girl who was the first to feed the crow with sausage asked timidly: “How much is your bird? Can you sell it to me?”
The girl next to also said: “Yes, yes, I want to buy too, too cute! I can’t hold it at all!”
An old man who happened to pass by reminded him: “Nai, these little girls don’t know, this is an old pup, it’s unlucky.”
The girl said: “It’s all superstition, I don’t believe it!”
The old man shook his head and left.
A few girls chatted around Aoki to buy coal boss.
At this time, Aoki heard the haughty voice of an unfamiliar woman behind him:
“Do you know how much this crow is worth? Can you afford it?”
Aoki turned around and saw a woman wearing a blue suspender and a purple skirt, carrying a small bag full of LV in her hand. To be beautiful, this woman is impeccable in her looks and figure, but she can’t conceal the dusty smell of her body. At a glance, Qing Mu remembered the hair salon girls standing under the neon lights in the side alley.
The girls froze for a while, UU read www.uukanshu.com and said unconvinced: “How do you know we can’t afford it?”
The woman didn’t even look at the girls, but stared at the coal boss on Aoki’s shoulder, just like a rock bettor saw Emperor Green.
“The plateau raven is originally rare. There are tens of thousands of chicks, not to mention that it has grown so big and tamed so well, and can talk.”
Several girls stuck out their tongues. Although they were not at the woman’s arrogance, they had no choice but to walk away disappointed.
Aoki turned his head and looked at the coal boss on his shoulders and said, “Ha, you are so valuable! It’s not in vain that I picked you up and raised it!”
The woman smiled contemptuously: “It turned out to be picked up! I said how anyone can raise a raven now! But it is not easy for you to train it like this.”
She opened the zipper of the LV bag and took out two wads of cash, “Twenty thousand, I want this bird.”
Aoki did not go to pick up the money, nor did he pay any attention to the woman. Instead, he lifted the bird from his head and grabbed the bird’s neck to warn: “I’ve said that I won’t bark. Now it’s trouble, right? You talk nonsense again, I Just tell Ruhua that you stole the fish in the fish tank.”
“Oh oh—” The boss of coal grunted his cheeks reluctantly, but he calmed down and squatted quietly on Aoki’s shoulders without speaking.
The woman snorted coldly, then took out a wad of money from her bag and said, “Thirty thousand.”
Aoki looked at the sky, and said to the crow on his shoulder: “It’s late, if it’s time for flowers, let’s go back and have a look.”
After he finished speaking, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, jerked and pulled the board, and kicked away.
The woman was standing awkwardly on the street with money in her hand, her pretty face covered with powder turned blue with anger.
The evening breeze is blowing, making banknotes rattle…
