Chapter 866 Tofu Xishi
The pier on the shore of Qiu Island is a unique scene of prosperity and bustle!
There were vendors selling food on the street inside, and all kinds of shouting sounds came together, making the place very lively and gradually forming a musical symphony, which was very harmonious.
This is the true nature of the world. Standing on this bustling street, my heart gradually calms down. Finding peace in the midst of noise is a unique artistic conception.
Perhaps there will be other insights, this special contrast has profound meaning!
"No matter where it is, it should be a place for practice." Zhang Haibo nodded.
You can practice cultivation in famous mountains and rivers, you can also practice cultivation in your own home, and this bustling and noisy Qiudao Pier is also a unique place for cultivation!
Since the places are different, the practitioners’ feelings will naturally be different.
All living beings are where the Tao is.
Li Hua smiled and said, "Boss, let's go eat tofu. The boss lady is pretty, so the tofu must be delicious! We have to open our eyes today..."
There were many diners sitting at the tofu stall in front, and it was already full.
There is almost no vacant land.
After a while, a vacant seat appeared after someone left the tofu stall. Li Hua hurried over and grabbed the seat.
Zhang Haibo and Zhou Maoyuan walked over and sat on the small stool.
The small table is pitch black and has been used for many years. Perhaps it is the family business passed down by this tofu beauty, who makes a living by selling tofu. The proprietress is very beautiful, so the business is especially good!
People coming and going, especially men, would always glance over here if they were accompanied by a female companion.
Those women will definitely be jealous and mutter that Tofu Xishi is shameless!
However in reality.
The woman selling tofu was also a very miserable person. Her husband was once a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage and a constable in the local yamen. Her husband was seriously injured and died while arresting criminals.
The woman was left behind as an orphan and a widow, and later made a living by selling tofu.
This is the life of ordinary people!
The tofu beauty is very hardworking. The tofu she makes tastes delicious when paired with various seasonings. People who have eaten it want to eat it again, so the stall has many repeat customers.
Business is pretty good, and Tofu Xishi's life is barely acceptable.
A little girl was playing inside. This girl was the daughter of Tofu Xishi, and she was only about three or four years old. The girl looked pretty and timid, but she was also very cowardly!
There were many people coming and going on the street, and the girl had ropes tied on her hands.
This is also a precaution.
After all, it's a mess here, and children have occasionally been lost in the past. If it weren't for family life reasons, a beautiful woman like Tofu Xishi would not show up in public and cause a lot of gossip!
Especially her daughter. Her husband passed away just over two years ago. Her daughter is also very smart and is becoming more and more beautiful.
If you are kidnapped by a kidnapper, it will definitely be a disaster for the world.
However, at this moment.
Two people were walking towards them from a distance. The one in front was a fat and big-eared man, and behind him was a handsome young man who looked like a servant. The two of them came directly to the tofu stall.
The fat man said loudly:
"Tofu Xishi, I'm here to take care of your business again, hahaha! Your business depends entirely on me to take care of it for you, otherwise, that Liu Laoer would have come to mess it up long ago! Sister Xishi, how are you going to repay me..."
A few men were walking towards us from a distance, and they looked like thugs.
Seeing the fat man, the other guys hurried over to greet him: "Brother Hu, you've been working hard again. Business on the street hasn't been very good these days. We need to be more diligent and collect more protection fees!"
These thugs belong to a gang in Qiu Island. Their main daily income comes from protection fees, which makes them hated by the people here.
The fat man, Brother Tiger, with a face full of flesh, said angrily, "You guys want to be lazy again?"
Brother Hu is their captain, a gangster who is responsible for collecting protection fees.
Of course, these people don’t think of themselves as hooligans. Instead, they bully men and women every day. How unhappy!
They received protection money, and ate large chunks of meat and drank large gulps of wine every day.
Free and easy, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Seeing these people coming, especially seeing Brother Hu's lustful eyes, Tofu Xishi was so scared that her body trembled and she was panicked.
These bad guys are here again. They come to her place to eat every day and don’t pay.
They are all bad guys who drink blood and ooze pus!
None of it is good.
When Li Hua saw this, he knew that something exciting was going to happen, so he couldn't help but curl up his lips and said, "Boss, should we be heroes and save the beauty?"
The street was extremely noisy, and Zhang Haibo glared at Li Hua fiercely.
This bastard, I wonder what evil he is thinking! Li Hua is the most complicated and weird guy.
Sometimes the things we do, although not particularly bad, are very annoying!
In short, he is a jumpy person.
Zhang Haibo whispered, "Li Hua, what do you want to do? Don't make trouble here. If you want to be a hero and save the beauty, I will never stop you."
Hearing Zhang Haibo say this, Li Hua raised a faint smile.
"Boss, the time we spend in the dynasty practicing is too boring. Don't be restrained when you are outside. Relax! Release your emotions and shout when you see injustice. Hahaha, let's see if we can open today..."
When Zhou Maoyuan heard him say this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he thought that it would not be lonely to follow someone like Li Hua.
If your life is dull and there is nothing to do, he will find something for you to do.
Next.
The fat man ate two bowls of tofu, which had a lot of sesame oil and seasonings. It made his mouth full of oil and it was so delicious!
The fat man wiped his mouth twice and looked at the woman who was working with her head down with a lustful look.
"Tofu Xishi, even though I, Tiger Brother, am here to protect you, shouldn't you pay your protection fee this month? Our friendship is friendship, and we can't owe you protection fee! Last month you said you would pay it all now, you weren't kidding me, Tiger Brother, were you?"
Tofu Xishi has a great figure, with a curvy figure and a round and well-proportioned body. Many men often come to harass her intentionally.
Especially Brother Hu from this gang, who often comes to eat with a few people.
No money after meal!
The protection fee is not less than a penny, which is absolutely conscienceless. All the old residents living in this street know that Brother Hu is a hooligan.
Many people are angry but dare not speak out, and some even advise Tofu Xishi to remarry!
If you marry someone powerful or someone else, you won't have these troubles. After all, a woman's destiny is to get married. In traditional concepts, women generally don't show their faces in public and go out to make money.
But Tofu Xishi was pressed for financial support, as her mother-in-law was seriously ill at home.
She made a living by selling tofu and was talked about by others almost every day. She felt so depressed and frustrated that she had no one to talk to!
