Old Dog Wu and White Jade City finally returned to Long Sand City before dark. The city gate was crowded. There were no mules or horses, but a carriage that was about to enter the city attracted White Jade City.
The carriage was in tatters. There was not even a basic cloth covering it. The carriage was packed with all kinds of women. They were squeezed together like sardines. Everyone's face was pale, and their hair was dirty. Their clothes were messy, and many women were still sobbing with their heads lowered…
Like a pig, they were dragged along the street by a broken carriage. A man in a felt hat was leading the horse in front of the carriage. As they walked, he shouted," Excuse me, excuse me, we're in a hurry…"
Yujing stopped in his tracks and sized up the carriage. This scene gave White Jade City a sense of a new era. This era was the Republic of China.
"What's wrong?" Old Dog Wu looked at the carriage with a smile and said," This is the carriage of Osmanthus Restaurant, a very famous teahouse. These women should be sent to become women of the secular world."”
White Jade City looked at the carriage and said calmly," Then the guy leading the horse in front is a human trafficker?”
" I guess so." Old Dog Wu seemed a little helpless as he put the three-inch nail in his pocket." This world is in chaos. We are just low-class people. Let's not think about being officials. Let's go. The Republic of China…"
White Jade City's eyes were indifferent as she read," This is very Republic of China.”
After saying this, Little White followed behind Old Dog Wu and squeezed through the crowd into Long Sand City.
The city was very lively. As far as the eye could see, there were people making candy, people playing with stills, and clay figurines everywhere. As they walked in, they saw many people swallowing swords, spitting fire, and breaking rocks with their chests. Cheers rang out, and the surroundings were filled with noise. The small discomfort at the entrance was quickly forgotten by White Jade City.
Old Dog Wu led White Jade City to the second floor of a teahouse and ordered a few dishes, all of which were Changsha's specialty. He stood by the window and picked up a bottle of Daughter's Red Wine. He poured some for White Jade City and said warmly," Here, try it. This is the flavored prawn and the twin dumplings. Especially this one, the fried glutinous rice chicken. This chicken is the best. It looks crispy and smooth, and the meat is tender and sticky. It's delicious!"”
White Jade City had been starving for a day, and even fell into the blood pool. This time, he couldn't hold on any longer. Ignoring Old Dog Wu's words, he grabbed the cup and drank a few mouthfuls quickly. He pried off a chicken drumstick and ate it. After taking the first bite, White Jade City was slightly stunned. Delicious! This was delicious. In just a few seconds, the entire glutinous rice chicken had been peeled off by Xiaobai until only the shelf was left…
Old Dog Wu was holding a plate of fennel beans, eating one and drinking a glass of wine at the same time. As the wind blew past the window, Old Dog Wu said with a smile," Eat slowly, eat slowly. I know the chef of this teahouse. Old Changsha's cooking skills are less than a palm's worth. His dishes are very good. Your master, Sixth Brother, has always been a loner, but if he comes back, he will definitely eat here. The food here is the most fragrant..."
" Yes, it's indeed not bad." Bai Yujing wiped the oil on his hands." There's no antiseptic, no Su Dan red, and it's all natural pepper anise. The taste is very unique..."
Just as White Jade City was talking to Old Dog Wu, a sudden voice came from the table.
" Sigh, two masters, sorry to disturb you. This teahouse is full, but you still have an empty seat. Can I help you get a seat..."
White Jade City turned around and saw a smiling middle-aged man leaning against the table, looking at him and Old Dog Wu. The man was wearing a felt hat, and he looked middle-aged. However, he looked old and looked like he was in his forties or fifties. His goldfish eyes were rolled up, and he looked familiar. Wait, wasn't this guy the human trafficker who led the horse at the city gate just now?
Old Dog Wu looked around and saw that the teahouse was indeed packed with people. He muttered," It's really an evil thing today. The teahouse is full. Seriously, alright, don't stand there. It's fate that we met. Just sit down. Waiter, give me a pair of chopsticks!"”
" Alright!" the waiter shouted.
The human trafficker who had just sat down hurriedly pushed his hand and said,"Sigh! Don't, I can't do that. It's good that I can get a seat. I'll get some noodles myself. I'll just get some Oil Doused Noodles…"
Old Dog Wu waved his hand boldly," It's just a meal. It's nothing. The two of us can't finish this table. Let's not waste it. Come, have a glass of wine to warm your stomach!"”
The human trafficker was a little embarrassed, but he still took the wine." Then, then I'll accept your offer. My surname is Qi, you can just call me Old Qi. I've only come to Changsha in recent months. Please take care of me."”
"Haha, my surname is Wu. You can just call me Old Wu.”Old Dog Wu obviously didn't intend to reveal his identity. Little White didn't even look at Old Qi, just grabbing the peanuts.
After three rounds of drinking, Old Qi started to talk. He pointed at the bustling city with a mysterious expression and said," Hey, do you know why it's so lively?”
Old Dog Wu laughed," What's wrong? You know?
Of course!" Old Qi lowered his voice." I got this information from one of my channels!”
Old Dog Wu asked," What news?"
Old Qi continued," Have you heard of Lord Zhang, the commander of the Nine Gates of Changsha?”
Old Dog Wu nodded and said," I've heard of him. He's very capable and has many tricks up his sleeve. He's the leader of the Nine Gates.”
Old Qi nodded." Yes! I also heard that Lord Zeng went to Jin Ling City to meet the president of the Republic of China. He even gave the president a very good gift. The president donated an official position to him. It's the position of the commander-in-chief of the security of Long Sand City! I heard that this official position is very high! He was in charge of all the public security matters in Changsha's generation. He had a lot of power. Today was the day that Lord Zeng would return. His motorcade had already entered the city earlier. This time, the whole city was boiling with joy to celebrate Lord Zeng's promotion!”
Old Dog Wu nodded," We should celebrate. Lord Zeng is a local, and the locals manage the locals. We are lucky that the president of Jin Ling city didn't send any outsiders.”
Old Qi blinked and said," There's one more thing. Maybe you don't know, but I'm from Jin Ling City. I heard that a military officer surnamed Lu has been applying to come to Changsha to be his supervisor. This time, Lord Zeng's visit is equivalent to slapping his face and stealing his position. I'm afraid that in the future, Lord Zeng will not be nice to him..."
Old Dog Wu raised his wine glass with a smile." Let's drink, let's drink. We are just merchants. We don't have to care about the government's business…"
"That's true. Let's drink, let's drink. Tsk tsk, this Daughter Hong has been around for eighteen years! Good wine!"
“……”
White Jade City's eyes were fixed on the crowd below. It was bustling with excitement. Young people loved crowds, and Xiaobai was no exception. She stood up and said," Fifth Master, I'll go down there to play. I'll go to your place after the party…"
Old Dog Wu said," Be careful. Do you have any money?"”
" I have money. I'm going…" White Jade City said and went downstairs.
