Li Du pushed open the door of the police station and walked out.
Brother Wolf sighed, "Boss, we've dealt with the police quite a lot."
Li Du also sighed, "What does that mean?"
"It means we're troublemakers," Yang Dong, who had come to pick them up, laughed.
Li Qi glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not work time. We're all friends. We're just joking around."
Li Qi still felt that this was not good, so he changed the topic. "Boss, according to our China's rules, I'll arrange a banquet for you. These swindlers are really arrogant. Seattle's public security is getting worse! "
"The whole of America is like this," Yang Dong said angrily. "It's fine staying in a hotel these few days. We used to live in the slums. I'm scared at night. I'm scared when I hear gunshots."
Li Qi led the way, and the two cars drove out.
They happened to be in the port area, and this Chinese restaurant also belonged to this area. The car didn't drive for long, and after a few streets, it stopped.
The entrance of the restaurant was very small, located between two factories. There was a lot of traffic, and it was considered a prime location.
It was dinner time, but Li Du and the others went in and found that there were not many customers. The restaurant's main business was fast food, but there was no queue in front of the counter. There were only a few black men eating in silence around a table.
Li Du was puzzled and said, "Old Li, what's the taste of the food here?"
Li Qi looked confident and said calmly, "Don't worry, boss."
He left two simple words, then went in and shouted.
A skinny old man with white hair poked his head out of the kitchen, then smiled and said, "Ah Qi, you're here? Still the same three dishes? "
Li Qi spoke with an accent similar to his, "No, Uncle Hua, I've brought the boss here. You can use your strength to cook a few beautiful dishes. The boss treats me very well."
The skinny old man said in a loud voice, "Don't worry!"
Soon, there was the sound of the fire and the clanking of the spatula. A pretty Chinese girl quickly wiped the table and said, "Brother Qi, come sit here."
Li Du and the others sat down, and the small restaurant was a little full.
Yang Dong smiled and said, "Boss, is this the first time you've been to such a small restaurant?"
Li Du laughed, "What do you think I am? Was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth? I've been to many small restaurants, and I've eaten at more roadside stalls than you. "
Yang Dong's family conditions were better than his. People who studied abroad could apply for a green card directly. Yang Dong, on the other hand, came to the United States with a study visa.
Li Qi said, "Boss, try it later. Uncle Hua's Cantonese cuisine is definitely the best!"
The chef, Uncle Hua, was still busy cooking. The waitress brought over a few platters of barbecued pork in honey sauce, diced chicken with corn in oyster sauce, sliced duck, pickled chicken feet, and a bottle of wine.
Li Qi poured some wine for Li Du and gestured, "Boss, have a taste. This is brewed by Uncle Hua himself. It's a fine wine made from pure grains. It's rare to get to drink it in the United States."
Li Du took a sip. He did not have much of an appreciation for baijiu, but he felt that it was not too spicy. There was indeed a faint fragrance and sweetness when it entered his mouth. It should be a type of rice wine.
While they were drinking, the hot dishes were served. Krill Sausage Noodle, Fried Beef, Boiled Prawns, and so on. The dishes were served very quickly.
Li Du did not stand on ceremony. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Once the food entered his mouth, he could not help but nod. "Mmm, it tastes good. It's really good!"
Li Qi took a prawn and dipped it in the sauce. He smiled and said, "How is it? It's really good, right? Uncle Hua is very good. His ancestors served in the royal kitchen. When he was in the country, he even went to the central government to cook. "
Hearing that, Li Du asked in surprise, "If he's so good, why didn't he stay in the country? He's a top chef in the country, right? "
The restaurant was not big, and their conversation was heard by Uncle Hua in the kitchen.
The old man pulled open the curtain and stuck his head out. He smiled and said, "Boss, don't listen to Ah Qi's nonsense. I'm not that good. I'm a chef who cooks from the big pot. I did cook for the central government in the country, but it was just from the big pot. Haha, it's not worth mentioning … "
As he said that, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Is the boss good at cooking from the big pot?"
Li Qi nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "I've never seen anyone as good as him!"
While they were talking, the wooden door was pushed open with a bang, and a few sturdy young men walked in while cursing.
"F * ck you, come out, come out!"
"Hey, is the money ready? I gave you the final notice on Monday! "
"If you don't have the money ready today, I swear you're dead … F * ck you!"
The young men who were swearing looked into the restaurant and immediately shut their mouths. At the same time, their eyes widened in shock.
Li Du looked at these young men and laughed. What a coincidence, he actually met someone he knew here. Weren't these the young men that Brother Wolf had just beaten up in the afternoon?
These young men were hired by the old swindler to scare Li Du and the others. In the end, they were beaten up by Brother Wolf. Until now, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were limping.
However, they had nothing to do with the swindler. The police did not give them any trouble, and Li Du was too lazy to prosecute them. Therefore, the two swindlers were locked up in the police station, while they were free.
The two sides met face to face. Brother Wolf stood up again and slowly clenched his fists.
The young men's faces suddenly turned pale. They obediently turned around and were about to leave.
Li Du patted the table and said, "Hello, gentlemen, what are you doing?"
The young men did not speak and were about to leave the restaurant dejectedly.
Brother Wolf rushed forward to stop them and said, "Didn't you hear our boss asking you a question?"
The leading young man turned around in fear and said, "I'm sorry, sir. May I ask what's the matter?"
Li Du asked, "What did you just say? Are you here for money? Why are you here for money? "
The owner of the restaurant, Uncle Hua, wiped his hands and walked out. He stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at them.
The young man swallowed and said, "It has nothing to do with you, sir …"
Li Du raised his eyebrows. Brother Wolf slapped him with the back of his hand.
The young men were furious. They subconsciously wanted to get angry, but then they thought of the previous lesson and Brother Wolf's fierce skills. They could only suppress their anger and stand awkwardly at the door.
Li Du roughly knew what was going on. These gangsters must have bullied Uncle Hua, an old Chinese man. They usually came to his house to eat and drink, and at the same time blackmailed him for some money.
Unless they had local power, they could only swallow their anger, because the local police did not care about this kind of thing. Even if they did, they could not do anything about it.
The gangsters were like maggots on a person's bones. If the police arrested them, they would at most be locked up for a few days and then released. After they were released, they would use more ruthless means to torment the owners.
Moreover, sometimes the police could not catch them. They came to the door and asked for money. If they did not pay, they would smash things and run. When the police came, they would be long gone. It was very difficult to deal with them.
