Chapter 20 020 [Kowloon Flower Boat]

Turning his head, Shi Zhijian no longer ignored those cowardly neighbors, and greeted Ah Xiang with a smile, "Brother Xiang, you have been waiting for a long time."

Ah Xiang didn't dare to trust Shi Zhijian, changed his arrogance to the poor just now, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just arrived too! Third Young Master said, let me take Mr. Shi to the Jiulong Bay Flower Boat for a drink !"

Shi Zhijian nodded, turned his face to look at the astonished elder sister Shi Yufeng and said with a smile: "Old sister, don't cook my dinner tonight, I may be back very late!"

"Ah?" Shi Yufeng's eyes widened in astonishment, "What are you doing? Who did you meet outside? It's very dangerous outside, so don't be fooled!"

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who can deceive people in this world, no one can deceive me!" Shi Zhijian winked at Shi Yufeng and walked towards Bentley.

Ah Xiang hurriedly opened the car door, and Shi Zhijian got into the car.

Shi Yufeng still refused to let go: "Come back early! I'll leave food for you!"

Shi Zhijian waved to her through the window, and soon, the black Bentley blew its whistle and galloped away.

The people behind were not calm anymore. They didn't expect Shi Zhijian to become "Mr. Shi" and they all sat in Bentleys.

"Sister Yufeng, your Ajian is so sharp, I know such a rich man!"

"Yeah, we've lived together for so long and don't even know it!"

"You guys don't know much, even Loud Hero came to visit Brother Jian this morning!"

"Ah, Loud Hero? Brother Hong Yihai? Brother Jian is so amazing!"

Shi Yufeng's head exploded when he heard it.

Those who called Shi Yufeng a "lame phoenix" before, now fawned even more: "Sister Yufeng, why don't you come and sit in my room? I just made pork blood porridge!"

"Why don't you go to my place, we have a lot of toys at home, Bao'er must like them!"

Whenever Shi Yufeng encountered such a situation, he was always despised by others before, and he could only regain face by relying on a sharp mouth, but now there are so many people flattering him.

So, she straightened her back, her eyes sparkled, and she cast a squinting glance at everyone: "I'm a 'lame phoenix'. If it's inconvenient to walk, I'm ashamed to go to your house for dinner!"

"Also, what's so fun about your tattered toys? My Meibao doesn't like them! My Meibao only likes dolls from department stores. What's their name? Barbie dolls! Each one costs more than a dozen, you buy Can you afford it?!"

Shi Yufeng's "king's contempt" directly made these neighbors who climbed up and stepped down couldn't hold their heads up.

Under countless ashamed gazes, Shi Yufeng tore her clothes, raised her head high, held the leftover leaves she picked up in one hand, and Bao'er in the other, as she walked proudly under the eyes of everyone like a queen .

...

In the Bentley—

Ah Xiang was driving in front, while Shi Zhijian sat in the back thinking about starting an instant noodle factory.

Now there are factories, but there is a lack of machinery and equipment.

In Hong Kong in this era, there is no such machine and equipment for the production of instant noodles. To be precise, there are not many places in Asia.

Shi Zhijian roughly calculated that a factory as big as his own needs to install at least ten production lines, that is to say, ten large-scale instant noodle production machines are needed!

Not to mention that so many machines are expensive, but it is estimated that such a suitable machine cannot be found in Hong Kong.

What is the most popular in Hong Kong now? Plastic flower machines for plastic flowers, molding machines for toys, and sewing machines for sewing clothes!

Shi Zhijian began to have a headache.

If you want to buy these machines, you can only go to RB. After all, RB is the birthplace of instant noodles.

But after going to RB to purchase, you have to check it back, and it is very troublesome to go back and forth.

"Maybe Xu Sanshao can help!" Shi Zhijian thought of Xu Shixun. The Xu family is a big family in Hong Kong with a wide network of contacts. It should be easy to take their freighter to buy a few machines.

Ah Xiang, who was driving in front, paid attention to Shi Zhijian who was sitting in the back from time to time. Seeing that Shi Zhijian's eyebrows were furrowed and stretched at other times, he seemed to be full of thoughts.

Ah Xiang knew best after serving Xu Shixun for so many years, this young master of his family looks foolish on the surface, but in fact has a perverse temperament and is difficult to serve!

...

The Kowloon Bay Flower Boat is a gold-selling cave for the rich in Hong Kong in this era, and it is also the best place for fun.

Whenever night falls, the huge Kowloon Bay begins to be decorated with lights and festoons, and a number of flower boats are moored on the water like a swaying crystal dragon palace.

As a son of a wealthy family, Xu Sanshao and Xu Shixun spent 8,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the entire "Emerald Palace" tonight.

The Emerald Palace is the largest and most luxurious of the Kowloon Bay flower boats. It has three upper and lower floors and can accommodate hundreds of people for dinner. He can cook all the dishes for you.

In addition, the entire Huafang will specially prepare wonderful songs and dances for the distinguished guests, and even today's big stars in the film industry such as Chen Baozhu, Xiao Fangfang, and Feng Baobao are proud to perform here.

Because the grade is too high, anyone who has eaten in the Emerald Palace can brag for a lifetime.

Under the guidance of Ah Xiang, Shi Zhijian boarded a small boat and rowed towards the Emerald Palace not far away.

Those who operate the boats are the Dan people living in this area. They have lived on the water all their lives. Not far away are 14 or 15 crude floating water houses made of wood, which are their homes on the sea.

On the way, a dark-skinned Danjia girl with long black braids and bare feet stepped on a boat and came to sell the lotus seeds she picked, as well as seafood and shellfish.

These things are worthless to them, the Dan people on the sea, but they can be exchanged for a lot of daily necessities, such as a comb and a mirror. Women love beauty, and sister Dan is no exception.

Because she lives on the water all year round and doesn't often communicate with others, this girl from the Dan family stutters when she speaks.

"First, sir... buy, buy some lotus seeds!"

Shi Zhijian saw that although her skin was slightly dark, she looked extremely handsome, especially her vivid eyes were like clear water, so he asked, "What's your name?"

"You, Youwei... Su Youwei."

"Good name!" Shi Zhijian was surprised that a girl from the Dan family had such a nice name.

The Dan family has been floating on the sea all their lives. Many of them only fish and do not study, and they choose their names very casually. Some even have no names.

"Year old?"

"Ten, sixteen years old!"

Coming out to support the family at the age of sixteen, Shi Zhijian's heart softened.

"How much do you pay for your lotus seeds?"

"As much as you want." Dan's daughter was a little nervous, afraid that Shi Zhijian would not buy it, so she hurriedly grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and stuffed them for Shi Zhijian, "Try it...it's delicious!"

The good-looking Danjia girls are usually mopped, touched, or even pinched by some salty customers when selling things. These Danjia girls rarely refuse in order to sell things.

Especially this girl in front of me is like a pretty black wild rose, when other people pick up the lotus seeds, they would definitely not be able to resist making some small movements, but Shi Zhijian took it very politely, picked up a lotus seed and tasted it. After taking a sip, he praised: "Not bad! It's fragrant and sweet!"

Immediately, Shi Zhijian withdrew ten yuan to this girl named "Su Youwei" from the Dan family, and said, "I'll buy all your lotus seeds!"

Ah Xiang hurriedly reminded Shi Zhijian that it was wrong, and he must not buy it.

The girl from the Dan family looked shocked. She had never seen such a "big money" of ten Hong Kong dollars in her life. Usually, even if her lotus seeds were sold out, it was only a few cents!

Danmin's things have always been very cheap, just like their wandering lives, humble to the point of dust!

When Shi Zhijian paid for all the lotus seeds owned by Guangdan's daughter, soon, other Dan's daughters rushed towards this side stepping on the boat. If Ah Xiang didn't urge the boatman to speed up, they might be surrounded.

"I knew it would be like this! Mr. Shi, you can't just buy the things of these Danjia girls. If you buy one, you will poke a hornet's nest!"

"Also, their stuff is so cheap! Your pile of lotus seeds is not even worth a dollar, so why give her so much?!"

Shi Zhijian smiled, picked up a lotus seed and threw it into his mouth: "You eat lotus seeds, but what I eat is happiness!"

...

As we get closer to the flower boat, we can hear various melodious songs, but after careful identification, they are Cantonese opera, Kunqu opera, and Yangzhou ditty, which is the favorite of rich and idle people.

Shi Zhijian and his entourage walked to the Emerald Palace flower boat, and lowered the ladder skillfully.

Two women in short shirts came down from the top with a smile, and took the initiative to help Shi Zhijian and Ah Xiang take the ladder to the boat.

With the support of the woman, Shi Zhijian walked straight towards the third floor on the top floor. Apart from the reception staff, there were no other guests in the huge flower boat.

As soon as Shi Zhijian climbed to the third floor, he saw Xu Shixun losing his temper with the proprietress of Huafang: "It's really deceiving! An opera singer, how dare you ignore me!"

After speaking, he grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it out.

Fortunately, the proprietress dodged fast enough, and with a bang, the ashtray fell to the ground and rolled to Shi Zhijian's feet.
