In the antique huaweidu Tang restaurant upstairs, Xu Pingsheng sat on the elegant seat by the window and enjoyed the layers of waves outside the window.
Yu shiting looked at Xu Pingsheng quietly, smiling and speechless.
People in the distance dare not breathe. More than a dozen pairs of eyes are staring at their respective bosses. They only need a subtle action or look of the boss to make a rapid response.
Xu Pingsheng looked out of the window for five or six minutes before he looked back and smiled at Yu shiting:
"Boss Yu has a heart. I haven't sat in Huawei ferry for decades. I've eaten the big dining room above."
Yu shiting opened the menu on the table and politely handed it to Xu Pingsheng: "Sheng Bo, would you like to order some dishes and let the cook sit down and deliver them."
Xu Pingsheng took over the menu and turned it over: "for so many years, did you change the menu of huaweidu? I remember the last time I made huaweidu, I also sat in the dining room of the Tang restaurant and ordered a chimney of cabbage, a wengongzhai pot and a bowl of white rice. At that time, it was the cheapest two dishes in the dining room."
Yu shiting said seriously, "it's been more than ten years since I took the flower tail ferry last time. At that time, I obviously had some money, but I didn't dare to reveal it. I didn't want to hurt myself, so I ordered a white cut chicken and a boiled green vegetable. When I looked at the menu, I pretended to frown, worried that I couldn't afford it, and asked the waiter to roll his eyes at me, so as not to make those who wanted to kill Yanggu worry about me."
"Pa Pa!" Yu shiting patted his hands twice, and a servant took two steps forward: "master."
"Let the master of the restaurant prepare four dishes: chimney cabbage, wengongzhai pot, white cut chicken and braised green vegetables." Yu shiting said.
"Yes, sir."
When the servant left, Yu shiting looked at Xu Pingsheng again: "Sheng bogang just looked out of the window because he hadn't seen the sea view for too long?"
Xu Pingsheng looked down at his shiny walking stick, then raised his head and said to shiting, "I've seen it for so long because today I only saw a ship with a British flag running on the sea, and I didn't see a Chinese ship."
"Why would anyone dare to go to sea in Hong Kong when you are sitting here?" Yu shiting said with a bitter smile. "Isn't that tantamount to offending the king of the boat and not going to eat this bowl of rice from Hong Kong? Don't say that we small businessmen who eat by the sea, I'm afraid even the God of the sea will give you face."
Xu Pingsheng waved his hand: "it's not worth money. An old bone is waiting to die. Where will anyone surprise me? If my name can scare people, there won't be a ship sinking. Mr. Yu just said that even the sea god gave me face. I think at least the sea god in Taiwan didn't give me face."
With Xu Pingsheng's words, the atmosphere in the dining room was suddenly silent.
Several servants brought by the two for many years happened to straighten their waist slightly and look at each other.
"I can't hide it from Sheng Bo. In fact, after I heard about it, I was going to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for Sheng Bo to call me out to question me. But later, I thought, I'd better ask Sheng Bo out to make it clear." Yu shiting was not stunned or speechless by Xu Pingsheng's words, but smiled and looked at each other.
Xu Pingsheng's face was indifferent: "I don't know what Mr. Yu asked me to talk about with me?"
Yu shiting turned his face and looked out at the waves. He paused for a moment, like falling into a memory and said:
"I know what to say now. Sheng Bo has something waiting for me. Then I'll talk to Sheng Bo about my previous experience in shiting. Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
Yu shiting looks at Xu Pingsheng.
Xu Pingsheng shook his head: "help yourself."
Yu shiting took out a box of sailor cigarettes from his pocket, shook the match, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said:
"When I first came to Shanghai, I didn't start by hanging around in the local boat gang and worshiping the old boss. I started as a sailor from Changxing shipping company in the public concession. At that time, Changxing company mainly engaged in passenger transportation. There were seven queens, the empress of India, the Empress of China, the empress of Japan, the empress of Australia, the empress of Russia, the empress of Asia and the empress of Canada China Ferry, as a seaman, I was on the queen of Australia, a new passenger ship that no longer burns coal but diesel. Of course, running a ship makes money, but it is always the company that makes money. Seamen can't make money. At that time, our Chinese seamen relied on performing dramas and songs to earn tips for the guests on board, just like clowns. "
"Although it seemed like a clown, I hung the badge of Changxing company on the beach at that time. I didn't even dare to do anything about the Xike police and Annan patrol. I felt that I was a higher level than other Chinese people. Although I wasn't a white man, I already boasted of two devils."
"The idea of feeling good was gone when I was whoring a White Russian woman." Yu shiting paused and flicked the ash: "Sheng Bo, don't laugh at me."
"At that time, there were many White Russian women in the concession doing skin and meat business. At first, these White Russian women did not receive Chinese people. The concession Ministry of industry would rather give money to those White Russian women every month to help them, rather than allow them to earn Chinese money. Those foreign devils in the concession could only sell to white people if they thought they were white, but later, there were more and more White Russian refugees and White Russian bitches Since then, most of the rich Chinese on the beach have tasted the taste of white women. I am no exception. With my just paid salary, I went to a kiln run by White Russian women. "
"When those White Russian women entertain foreigners, they will have western food and drinks, and they can pay the bill afterwards. The Chinese people need to pay first to see the women come out, and needless to say, they don't even have water. I paid a white man, who led me to a small room where a white woman as fat as a sow..."
Yu shiting smiled: "Dirty, fat and smelly, I looked at me with disgust. I wanted to refund my money. I quarreled with the white man who was responsible for collecting money for soliciting customers in the brothel. A drunken shareholder of Changxing company came out with a woman in his arms. When he saw my badge, he was surprised at first, and then told the people present that Changxing company was really kind to TM's Chinese employees. I'm such a poor three dwelling However, they all had money to go whoring and sleep with White Russian women. When he knew I didn't want to go whoring with the sow, he smiled and gave me a choice. Either go to sleep with the sow now or the company fired me. "
Xu Pingsheng looked at Yu shiting. Yu shiting twisted out his cigarette: "the foreign devil told me that I was lucky to have sex with that White Russian woman like a sow. Sheng Bo, at that time, what did you say I should choose?"
