Chapter Eighty-One: Quan Zi

  Xiao Xiao didn't know that Ai Chuan still liked to gamble, so he gave him the money and didn't think much of it, then rode his bike towards Nongda.

  He walked for a while, stopped his feet, took out his mobile phone and called Li Wei, asking him not to eat first, and wait for himself to go back and eat together.

  Li Wei responded with a "yes" and then hung up the phone.

  After riding for another four or five miles, a relatively prosperous area appeared by the roadside.

  The streetlights were still dim, but in this area there were several restaurants and supermarkets lined up one after another. Inside the large glass windows, the lights shone brightly, forming a huge light source that illuminated the streets very brightly.

  The street side was a flat piece of land, slightly soft, with over ten white plastic tables on the ground, each table equipped with four white plastic chairs.

  At the front of this stall, a barbecue rack was placed, on which were various skewers of meat. A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy wearing short sleeves and shorts was brushing sauce onto the skewers, humming a tune, shaking the skewers to make the fire roast them more evenly.

  The charcoal is burning vigorously, the mutton oil is greasy, and in the swirling thick smoke, the aroma of scorched meat wafts out.

  It's relatively remote here, so there aren't many people having barbecue. There are only three or four tables with over ten people scattered about.

  Across from the barbecue stall was a bus stop sign with bus routes written on it. At this time, there were two people waiting there, thinking about meeting the bus earlier.

  Tiny evil mosquitoes fly out from a nearby pile of garbage, silently wandering in the air, searching for tender flesh, waiting for an opportunity to feast on blood.

  Xiao Xiao rode his bicycle to the bus station first, making sure he was in the right place, and then came to the barbecue stall to see if there was anything he liked to eat.

  His stomach was a little hungry, he prepared to pick up some snacks first.

  He saw an ice cabinet next to the barbecue grill. The ice cabinet was lit up and you could see all sorts of cold dishes inside.

  "Silk moth! Haha."

  Xiao Xiao saw silkworms in the freezer and immediately became extremely excited. This was something he really enjoyed eating.

  Silkworm pupae are boiled silkworms that are eaten as a cold dish. There are two ways to make them, one is dry and crispy like fried dough sticks, the other is wet with a dry surface but juicy inside, and when bitten into, a burst of soup comes out.

  Silkworm pupae contain a large amount of protein, are a good choice for supplementing the body, delicious and affordable.

  Xiao Xiao of course loves to eat that one mouthful of bubble soup, every time eating silkworm pupae, is to grab a handful, dozens of thrown into the mouth, teeth biting, crackling and popping, silkworm pupae in the mouth burst juice, white ** flowing into the mouth, really cool.

  It's been a few days since I arrived in Tianjing, and it's the first time I've seen a place selling silkworms. He had a craving, so he pushed his cart to the front of the ice cabinet.

  A thin and weak-looking boss in his thirties came over and asked him what he wanted to buy.

  "Cocoon!" Xiao Xiao pointed inside the refrigerator and said loudly.

  The boss has been keeping this dish of silkworm pupae here for half a month, and no one has shown any interest. Today, suddenly a blond kid came over to ask about it, and he was thrilled, thinking that finally someone recognized it as a good dish. He immediately took a liking to Xiao Xiao, opened the freezer with a swoosh, and asked him how much he wanted.

  "How much? Is it delicious?" Xiao Xiao asked with a questioning tone while peeking into the fridge.

  "Eight pieces for one catty." The boss responded to his query with a smile and picked up one with chopsticks, letting him try it.

  Xiao Xiao quickly picked up the silkworm pupae, threw them into her mouth, and chewed noisily. "It's not bad, let's get half a catty."

  The boss weighed out eight taels for him, but only charged half a catty. He put it in a bag and only collected the money for half a catty of millet.

  Xiao Xiao bought half a catty of silkworms, first stuffing two into his mouth, crunching away, carrying the plastic bag and pushing the cart forward. Just as he took two steps, he happened to bump into someone raising their right arm holding a beer bottle.

  The man shook his beer cup and the beer splashed out of it, landing on that person's shoes.

  The table was filled with a variety of dishes, including spicy crawfish in ceramic plates, stir-fried snails, roasted chicken, and green broad beans. There were also large jugs of beer.

  Four people sat around the table.

  Across from the table sat two seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girls, with good looks and light makeup, wearing low-cut tops that were almost down to their belly buttons. If they stood up a bit straighter, you could see their entire chest area. They wore short skirts on their lower bodies, with black silk stockings wrapped around their legs, partially hidden but still visible, full of life and sensuality, teasing the groin area. From head to toe, no matter which angle you looked at them from, they seemed like they were in the sex trade.

  In fact, they were actually in the sex industry.

  Behind the table sat a young man in his twenties, with short hair, a floral shirt, and a small round face. His eyebrows were straight and cold, and he had a strong physique, with a dragon tattoo on his shoulder that looked like it was dancing with its claws out.

  He looks like a impulsive bad boy at first glance.

  The person who was bumped by Xiao Xiao was over 40 years old, bald-headed, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a gold chain around his neck. His hand was still raised in mid-air, with half of the liquor spilled out of the cup, and the surface of his leather shoes was already wet.

  "Oh dear, sorry big brother. I really didn't see it." Xiao Xiao hastily stopped his bicycle, took a step forward, and stood in front of the forty-year-old man, bowing his head to apologize.

  When you've done something wrong, apologize; this is an eternal principle.

  "Sorry, is sorry enough?" The twenty-year-old kid standing next to the table stood up, pointing at Xiao Xiao and deliberately shouting: "You got Key's shoes wet, and saying sorry is enough? Do you know that Key's shoes can buy your life?" He was intentionally loud in front of those two sex workers, showing off Key and his own prestige.

  He wanted to tell those two little girls that after a while, he and Key Brother would make the two little girls lie on the bed and show off even more.

  "Brother, sorry, I really didn't see it." Xiao Xiao ignored the little boy's threat and apologized to Key Brother in a low voice.

  No choice, who made yourself didn't see it.

  Those two little girls who provided sex services looked at that young man and then looked at Xiao Xiao, their faces expressionless.

  The one called Jian Ge still held his wine cup in mid-air, looking at Xiao Xiao, without saying a word.

  That twenty-something-year-old kid pointed at Xiao Xiao and shouted: "What's wrong with you, kneel down and lick Key Brother's shoes clean, or I'll beat you to death."

  Xiao Xiao heard this sentence, her face showed displeasure, standing there motionless.

  The thin and weak boss in his thirties heard the cry of that little boy, walked over, saw the situation clearly, knew that Xiao Xiao was innocent, and felt pity for him. He patted the shoulder of the twenty-year-old young man and said softly, "Quan Zi, be magnanimous, he's still a kid, doesn't understand things, let him just wipe off Jian Ge's shoes, don't make him kneel down."

  Xiao Quanzi's little kid didn't expect the boss to come out and speak for Xiao Xiao, he pushed the boss's chest and shouted: "What the hell is your business?" As he shouted, he picked up the beer mug on the table, raised his hand, and poured a whole cup of beer on the boss.
