Li Hailong and the others looked at these children. The older ones were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger ones were six or seven years old. They were all skin and bones! It seemed that they were not the children of rich families!

Almost all of them were bare-chested and bare-footed. Their eyes were wide open on their thin faces. Unfortunately, there was almost no spiritual energy in their eyes. Most of them had wooden expressions, and some even had two big snot trails…Each of them had a bare forehead and a rat tail behind their head…

This made Li Hailong's thoughts run wild. These children did not have any innocence at all. They were almost turning into little old men! Was this still the flower of their country?

He thought about the children in his hometown. They were all so smart at this age. Moreover, they were often eloquent and versatile. Their clothes were also so colorful, making people feel energetic when they looked at them!

Look at the children in front of him! Naturally, the difference was too great! How could he develop his country with such a child? How could he stand up in this world? Everyone secretly swore that they would not be human if they did not overthrow these barbaric people who ate people without spitting out bones!

However, he had to resolve the matter in front of him. It turned out that these people didn't know how to eat this cold drink!

Not only did the children not know how to eat, but the behavior of the two merchants was also a little funny. One had to pretend to be delicate, but this thing was not polite to him. If you ate it slowly, it would be wasted. If you were not careful, it would drip on your body!

The one who ate faster really didn't look good! Holding a stick, he kept spinning it back and forth, making people want to take a bite. Looking at the way these two people ate, Li Hailong suddenly had an idea. Let's not talk about other businesses, let's start the cold drink business tomorrow! First of all, it's simple. Get some water, add some sugar, and then add some other things to make more flowers. This transaction shouldn't be difficult!

Li Hailong thought so, and the two merchants also had the same idea. Although they knew that some wealthy families in the south would hide some ice in their cellars during winter and use it on hot days, they had never seen anything like this! Thinking back, these ice-cold, sweet, and milk-flavored cold drinks were taken out of a box! He realized that these short furs were probably made by themselves. If he sold them now, how would he make money from this business!

The two merchants had no choice but to wait at the side before entering the city. It was such a waste of time. The children who were eating cold drinks and holding candies were one step ahead of them and went home to report! This was a lucky hit. When the two merchants finished their cold drinks, they could already see people walking out of their homes in Daodou City not far away. They were greeting other families!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Huang and Old Yu were stimulated by the cold drink and calmed down a lot. They went forward to communicate with Li Hailong and the others according to their requests.

It seemed that these two merchants were not lying. They were really familiar with this place. As soon as he entered the unsightly West Gate, he saw Old Huang greeting two people who were leaning against the door of a house on the side of the street. He bowed and greeted them,

"Aiyo! Isn't this Boss Yu and Boss Ding? How have you been?"

When the two of them saw this, they returned the greeting and said,

"It's Boss Huang! Don't laugh at us! We're here to make a living, unlike you, who can eat a few sides! I was still wondering just now. Didn't I see you go out to sea with that white man a few days ago? When did you come back?"

"Boss Huang, you're really something. We didn't know when you learned this! You have to help me in the future!”

"Old Yu and I came back last night! The villagers did not sleep well the entire night. Today, they were here to accompany everyone!”

The two of them were obviously shocked.

"What is it? Was it you guys who caused the passion last night?!”

"This, this, this…What's going on?"

At this moment, even the person at the door of the room came out to join in the conversation.

"Boss Huang! Could it be that last night, you guys…"

Li Hailong looked at the person at the door and saw that this person did not look tall. He was less than 1.7 meters tall and was at most 35 years old. His muscles were bulging and he looked especially strong! Fortunately, his face looked decent and did not have any evil thoughts. He was wearing a collarless canvas shirt with his lapels open. At this moment, he was using his hand to indicate that he had cut off his neck as he said,

"No wonder I haven't seen them all day! These damn barbarians killed several of my brothers!”

When Li Hailong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

Many countries in the world had already abolished the death penalty, but when the person in front of him said this, his eyes did not even blink. He even felt a little excited. Of course, he knew that this was no longer the world he used to live in, but he was still unable to wrap his head around it. Therefore, he did not show his dissatisfaction on the surface and continued to listen to their conversation with a smile.

Old Huang didn't have the same feeling as Li Hailong. He waved his hand and explained what they had discussed,

"No! No! But he didn't cut it! It would be too easy for them to kill them just like that! We have to get them to do something for us! "There aren't many people on the island now. Many of the places that were damaged by them last time haven't been repaired yet. I want them to do the work next. Moreover, there are many people on the island who have been bullied by them. That's why we'll lock them up for the time being!"

"I didn't expect Boss Huang and Boss Yu to be such a righteous person! We admire you!"

"I was really wrong! When I saw Boss Huang and the rest of you walking together with those black and white barbarians, I cursed you in my heart! I thought you were in the same boat as them! I'm really sorry!"

"You're welcome! Think about it, didn't they rob me of my items? You even detained me here and can't even go home! Don't look at how I usually follow them around. I'm forced to do so! Think about it, don't I hate them in my heart! How could I, a citizen of China, be willing to be bullied by them? He had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Boss Yu's situation is similar to mine, so the two of us have been looking for an opportunity!”

"Yes! That's right! Boss Huang was right! We are doing our own business well. Why do these barbarians come to our place to fight, kill and rob? Boss Huang and I have been thinking about how to vent our anger!”

….

Li Hailong and the others watched them speak half-truths and didn't want to interrupt now. They had the time to observe these local residents of the Qing Dynasty. They saw that the so-called Boss Yu and Boss Ding looked normal and didn't look like those people who were good and evil. Their faces also looked healthier. They were wearing black silk shirts and pants, and a belt made of green cloth was tied around their waists.

One of them had a water pipe in his hand, while the other had a pipe on his belt. He was wearing hemp rope sandals, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He had a long braid that almost reached his butt!

As he was watching, he suddenly felt that Huang Zhiqiang seemed to be introducing them. He quickly put away his thoughts and indeed, he heard Huang Zhiqiang introducing them to the Qing Dynasty people.

"This is the leader of these cultivators. His name is Li Hailong! Hailong, this is Boss Yu, the owner of Yuelai Inn. This is Boss Ding, the owner of Hao Zai Lai Restaurant. This is Brother Chen Dongbiao, the leader of this dock! You guys are so close!"

Li Hailong suddenly felt dizzy. When did his group of people become cultivators? He couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with Huang Zhiqiang's introduction. Why didn't he give him a heads-up beforehand?

But now that things had come to this, this show had to continue! Cultivation was cultivation! This was better than dragging that pigtail!

Hence, he imitated what they had done just now and bowed while greeting them politely,"

"Hello, Boss Yu! Please give me more pointers in the future!”

Boss Yu also said politely,"

"Master Li! Alright, alright!"

"Hello, Boss Ding! I'll have to disturb you often in the future! Please take care of me!"

"Aiya, Master Li, you're too polite! I still need you to take care of me!"

"Hello, Big Brother Chen! We still need Brother Chen to help us in the future! Thank you in advance!"

"Sigh! Master Li, you're treating me as an outsider! Just because of what happened last night! In the future, your business is my business! When the time comes, you can go anywhere you want in our area! If anyone dares to be disobedient and disturb you, just tell me. I'll settle him!”

When Li Hailong heard this, he thought, Isn't this what a local tyrant would say? Haha, what kind of person did you meet!

"Thank you so much, Brother Chen!"”

At this moment, Boss Huang took the opportunity to deliver a gift.

"Haha, you don't have to be so polite! The so-called drinking water from the same river, they would be a family in the future! That's all I said! Dong Biao! This is for you to try! I guarantee you haven't seen it before!"

"Aiya, Boss Huang, how can you do this!”

"You're still being polite with me! As long as my goods are still as good as before!”

"Good! Then I won't stand on ceremony! I'll listen to your orders in the future! Haha!"

Boss Huang turned around and pulled the other two."

"Bosses, everyone who sees it today will get a share. Don't say that the gifts are not enough! This is truly a rare good thing. I guarantee that none of you have seen it before! Bring them all home to show their families! There weren't many things today, so it was just an eye-opener!”

The two bosses had already seen the children earlier. The food in their hands was something they had never seen before. Although they were polite now, their hearts had already flown home. They were anxious to open it and see what new things were inside.

After bidding farewell to the two bosses, Chen Dongbiao was a warm-hearted person. When he heard that they were going to deliver things to them, he immediately volunteered to take the lead! Moreover, he enthusiastically introduced the situation of every family that he had visited. This saved everyone's time! As the saying goes, one shouldn't slap a smiling face. So what if he still gave gifts to her! Coupled with Chen Dongbiao's introduction, this matter went even smoother.

Another group of children who had finished their cold drinks followed behind. They were laughing and laughing along the way. Some adults felt a little embarrassed after receiving their gifts. They wanted to give the team a boost, so they followed the team. In a short while, the line became long!

As a result, the commotion caused by the gift was even greater! Besides, Daotou City was only a small place. In a short while, everyone knew about this matter. Those who had received their share followed behind. Those who had not received their share also opened their doors early to welcome them…
