Chapter 140: First Arrival in Jade City
Chapter 140: First arrival in Jade City
The return to Kunming was very smooth, no trouble, and arrived at the hotel at 11 o'clock in the evening.
Wen Xu took a shower and was about to fall asleep, but Helian Youmeng broke in, and saw that Wen Xu only had a pair of underwear all over his body, he couldn't help glaring at Wen Xu fiercely, and walked out quickly after throwing off a sentence: "Give you two minutes to get dressed." ”
When Helian Youmeng came in for the second time, Wen Xu had already dressed and sat on the sofa watching TV, Helian Youmeng walked over and sat down, and then said to Wen Xu: "Grandpa is satisfied with your first action, and the other party has already called over the commission used." ”
"And what's the commission?" Wen Xu asked impatiently.
Helian You dreamed that Wen Xu's eyes were full of money, and he couldn't help but roll Wen Xu's eyes, and said angrily: "Since your identity as a drug dealer this time is just a drug dealer, the commission is not too high, only 1.2 million before and after." Remove the part you turned in and my share, and you can get 650,000. ”
Helian Youmeng said, threw a bank card to Wen Xu, and then said: "Since I haven't opened an account with a Swiss bank yet, you can use this card for a while." Anyway, 650,000 is not a lot, and it should not arouse the suspicion of the police. The last sentence was like Helian talking to himself in a dream.
Although 650,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money, Wen Xu's heart is still not very comfortable when he thinks that he only got such a little bit in his life, and he can't help asking, "What's your share?" ”
"Twenty percent, do you think it's too much?" Helian Youmeng stared at Wen Xu coldly and asked.
"Twenty percent, that is, 240,000, then the remaining 310,000 have been handed in?" Wen Xu asked.
Helian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wen Xu to be calculating this, and couldn't help but explain to him: "Hmm! The main reason for turning in so much this time is that you are a newcomer. Since your newcomer can't provide intelligence for yourself, you have to buy intelligence. ”
"What about you? Do you need to buy intelligence to execute a question? Wen Xu then asked.
"As far as my current situation is concerned, a small business like this usually investigates on its own, and only when it encounters a big business will it spend money to buy other people's information. A grandmaster-level killer like Grandpa almost doesn't buy information. Even if they need information, many people will take the initiative to send it, because grandpa's connections are there. Helian Dreamey explained.
Wen Xu was able to understand the meaning of Helian Youmeng. After all, when it came to the realm of Helian Hooking Soul, money had become less important.
Helian Youmeng held up a lazy waist and said to Wen Xu: "In two days, I will go abroad on a mission, so I will leave Yunnan tomorrow, will you continue to stay in Yunnan or leave with me?" ”
Wen Xu thought that since he had come to Yunnan, he would take a look at Guo Xingyun by the way, so he shook his head at Helian Youmeng and said, "No, I still want to go to Yucheng to see my classmates." ”
A hint of loss flashed in Helian Youmeng's eyes, and then he stood up and said to Wen Xu: "Then you can do it yourself, Jade City is the territory of the Lu family." ”
……
Located in the southwest of Yunnan, the Jade City is named after the jade produced.
After a morning stay in Kunming, Wen Xu boarded a bus in the afternoon, and after a few hours of travel, finally arrived in this small jade-rich city.
As soon as Guo Xingyun saw Wen Xu, he couldn't wait to have a bear hug, but was pushed away by Wen Xu.
"Go, brother is not silica." Wen Xu punched Guo Xingyun in the chest, and he was extremely excited to see his good brother here.
Wen Xu used to hear Guo Xingyun praise how beautiful his hometown was, and he didn't believe it, but as soon as he stepped into this kind of place, he was immediately attracted by the beauty here.
The scenery here is different from the tropical landscape that can be sunburned, it is more temperate and has more subtropical plants. Since it is winter now, there is no beginning of spring, so the atmosphere is not too hot, the temperature of more than ten degrees is just right, Wen Xu is not cold when he wears a coat.
"The sun is about to go down, the mountain road is not easy to walk, we will stay here for one night tonight, and go back tomorrow!" Guo Xingyun said to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu smiled slightly, patted Guo Xingyun's shoulder and said, "This is your territory, of course I listen to you." ”
"Since you listen to me, then let's go eat now, and I'll let you taste Yunnan's authentic cross-bridge rice noodles." Guo Xingyun laughed and pulled Wen Xu into a rice noodle shop.
Since the ground floor was already full of guests, Wen Xu and Guo Xingyun had to go up to the second floor and find a table by the window. Guo Xingyun didn't look at the menu, and directly asked for two portions of beef rice noodles and half a catty of rice wine.
"Cross-bridge rice noodles are a well-known snack in Yunnan, but to eat authentic rice noodles with a strong rice fragrance, you can also get this time-honored store." Guo Xingyun introduced Wen Xu vividly.
Wen Xu smiled: "I heard a legend before, saying that the bridge rice noodles were invented by a Xiucai's wife when she gave him rice noodles, I don't know if it's true." ”
"It's hard to say, who knows if it's an advertising strategy of the business." Guo Xingyun said noncommittally.
Just as the two were chatting, there was a quarrel downstairs, and Wen Xu couldn't help but look down, only to see three or five people in black suits pulling and pulling with the owner in a store opposite the door, arguing over something.
"They seem to be collecting protection money?" Wen Xu turned his head to Guo Xingyun and asked.
Guo Xingyun nodded, lowered his voice and said, "They are all members of the Jade Gang. ”
"The Jade Gang?" Wen Xu asked curiously.
Guo Xingyun explained: "The Jade Gang is a gang founded by the Lu family twenty years ago, he controls the jade sales in Jade City, and occasionally collects some protection fees like this, and is the leading boss of the underground of Jade City. ”
"Even if it's the leading boss, but you blatant protection money, don't you police here care?" Wen Xu looked at the scene downstairs and frowned slightly.
Guo Xingyun sneered: "Tube? How to manage! The Lu family is the number one family here, and the secretary of the county party committee and the police chief will be afraid of three points, how to manage the ordinary little police. In fact, although the Jade Gang monopolizes the jade market in Jade City, they do things fairly and rarely do things that anger and resentment of the heavens. Therefore, we, ordinary people, turn a blind eye, pay a little protection fee for business, and ask for safety. ”
Chinese have always had this kind of thinking, as long as they don't do too much, everything is negotiable.
When Wen Xu heard Guo Xingyun's words, he had to sigh softly, and when he was about to say something more, the waiter had already brought the rice noodles.
There are four bowls on the plate, each of which contains four parts of the cross-bridge rice noodles: one is the soup stock, which is covered with a layer of boiling oil; the second is condiments, including oil and spicy seeds, monosodium glutamate, pepper, and salt; The third is the main ingredient, including raw beef slices, chicken slices, and pork loin slices, belly slices, and squid slices that have been soaked in water; The auxiliary materials include pea tips, leeks, coriander, green onions, grass sprouts, ginger, magnolia slices, and tofu skin; The fourth is the staple food, that is, rice noodles that have been slightly scalded with water. Chicken fat cover, the soup is piping hot, but not steaming.
Guo Xingyun saw that Wen Xu's movements were skillful, and he knew that he would put the raw meat in the soup first and then put the cooked meat, so he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Old Wen, have you eaten it before?" ”
"I ate once at Jiangzhou Railway Station." Wen Xu nodded at Guo Xingyun, picked up the chopsticks, and gently stirred the meat slices in the hot soup before slowly closing the lid.
Guo Xingyun passed the cup, poured a glass of rice wine for Wen Xu, and said with a smile: "The rice wine in Yucheng is also a must, it is refreshing and delicious when you enter it, and there is no smell of alcohol, but after drinking it, after a period of time, you will be drunk and unconscious, commonly known as drunk drunk." I wondered if Shi Nai'an had drunk my rice wine here, so I wrote three bowls of failure. ”
Wen Xu picked up the cup and took a shallow sip, the taste was really refreshing, and then he raised the cup, and the wine in the cup was suddenly gone.
When Guo Xingyun saw this scene, he shook his head and sighed: "I kind of regret giving you this wine." You'll get drunk later, and I'll carry you back to the hotel. ”
Wen Xu smiled: "If you put a hundred hearts, I won't get drunk so easily." ”
……
Wen Xu planned to walk around the street with Guo Xingyun after eating, but he didn't expect that this rice wine was really intoxicating, and when he walked out of the rice noodle shop, he felt dizzy.
Guo Xingyun smiled at Wen Xu and said, "Now you have tasted the bitter fruit, right?" Tonight, let's not go shopping, let's go find a hostel to sleep in. When I get up tomorrow, I'll accompany you for a good walk, and by the way, buy some jade to take back. ”
Wen Xu shook his head and promised Guo Xingyun: "Okay! ”
Although Yucheng is a small city, it still attracts many tourists from all over the country and some foreigners who come here because of the jade business here, so the hostels here are still very developed.
After asking a few restaurants, Guo Xingyun finally settled on a hostel. The name of this hostel is Guest Travel, and the name is apt and gives it a sense of intimacy. The exterior of this hostel, with its black triangular roof and white rectangular walls, has three floors, a lobby resembling a bar, a general room on the second floor, and a deluxe room on the third floor.
Guo Xingyun originally planned to book an ordinary double room on the second floor, but Wen Xu considered that the price gap between the deluxe room and the ordinary room was not too big, so he preemptively booked a luxurious double room on the third floor, anyway, Wen Xu is already a rich man now.
The shopkeeper took Wen Xu and Guo Xingyun to the house, Wen Xu casually looked at the room, and thought it was not bad, so he asked Guo Xingyun to send the shopkeeper away, and directly raised his head and fell on the bed.
"It's so comfortable to have a bed!" Wen Xu looked at the top of the wall during the day, thinking of the more than ten hours of driving, and couldn't help but sigh loudly.
