A party, a meal of wine and food, enough food to last until midnight.
Anyway, there are no curfew rules in Heihe County, so these young men naturally returned home happily.
When the show was about to end, the Second Young Master of Song Dynasty from Chaishi seemed to have mentioned unintentionally:
"I heard that there is Lin Laoliu in Tanfang. Has he ever offended Brother Bai?"
Bai Qi was slightly startled. Since the demon fish helped him solve Yang Quan's trouble, the instructor took action to suppress Yang Meng.
The only name on the small notebook in his heart was that of Manager Lin who wanted to buy his brother as a slave.
I was thinking that when I would become a master of muscle training, I would put on a sack and hit him with a sap at night, so as to teach me a lesson.
He had to be bedridden for at least half a year to relieve his anger.
As a result, I was never able to free my hands.
Bai Qi put away the gentle smile on his lips:
"It's a bit festive. Why, the second young master plans to be a peacemaker?"
The Second Young Master Song drank a lot, and he opened his mouth and spit out the strong smell of alcohol:
"No way, I have no rules, and if I offend Brother Bai, I should be punished!
A few days ago, I told my father that I would take away his position as manager and send him to the mountains to chop wood.
This guy couldn't bear the hardship. The news came the day before yesterday that he fell down a cliff while collecting herbs and died, and his body had just been found.
Brother Bai, I'm really sorry, I'm planning to tie him up, come to him to plead guilty, and let you suffer..."
His eyes moved from the hand on his shoulder to the casual tone of Second Young Master Song. Bai Qi suddenly smiled, as if relieved:
"The account will be settled after death, and the grudges will be forgotten. I am really sorry that the Second Young Master is so concerned about me."
The Second Young Master of Song Dynasty waved his hand and said:
"That's right. How can our friendship be ruined just because my slave doesn't do things well?"
As if he was drunk, the second young master from Chaishi staggered a little when he went downstairs. The servant hurriedly stepped forward to help him and let the waiter outside the building carry him home.
"Brother Bai, remember to come here and get together every month from now on. It is inevitable to feel depressed when practicing in seclusion. It is better to relax and relax. This is the way of civility and martial arts."
He Tai, who was so praised by everyone, looked at Bai Qi standing at the door of Donglai Building, laughed heartily and said:
"You came from the fish pen. Although you changed your household name, it doesn't stop us from getting closer and moving around more.
I have a high regard for Ah Shui from Dongshi Shop, and I have long wanted to promote him. Even without the contribution of Ghost Striped Fish, the job vacancy should be given to him. "
Bai Qi hummed, quite kindly:
"I am where I am today thanks to Uncle Liang's care. I have always missed Brother Shui's affection. If Brother Shui can feel proud, he must also be thinking about the great kindness of the young master's family."
He Tai smiled with satisfaction. He made a special trip to find out that Bai Aqi was very friendly.
Changshun of Datianwan could only give up a bowl of rice, but he was willing to take action to deal with Wang Lezi.
Instead of deliberately wooing him like Song Qiying from Chaishi, it is better to take advantage of the weakness and start with Liang Sanshui.
I learned this trick from my father He Wenbing.
It's called "inducing with kindness".
"Brother Qi, you must let us know when the fish stall is opening so that I can come and support you."
Deng Yong finally said goodbye with clasped fists. He did not have the pomp of his two young masters, Chaishi and Yulan, and left alone in the night.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Qi was the only one left at the entrance of the noisy Donglai Building.
He looked up at the red lantern hanging high, and laughed inexplicably, surprising the waiter who was closing the door.
Is this guest drunk and crazy?
Bai Qi smiled and walked towards the outer city.
Once upon a time, Manager Lin of Tanfang in Chaishi City was a big stone weighing on his heart.
I didn’t expect it to be so easy to get there, without even having to use your hands.
The Second Young Master Song of Chai City, who wanted to win over, had already taken care of it.
Take away the stewardship and drive him into the dust!
"Yang Quan is like a pug, trying to please the clinging young master and calling me brother and sister... With the reputation of Tongwen Hall, I feel like a different person."
Bai Qi walked steadily through the deserted long street, feeling once again the rapid changes in the warmth and warmth of people.
He hopes that one day, his name will spread throughout the 800 miles of Heishui River.
…
…
The next day, the Bai brothers got up early.
Bai Qi chops firewood and Bai Ming boils water.
Two large wooden barrels were filled with steam, and they got in to soap and bathe.
Fishermen spend all day on boats and docks, removing scales, disemboweling and processing internal organs, so they are inevitably contaminated by the smell of fish.
Over time, it becomes pickled and smells bad, making it difficult to clean.
Fortunately, Bai Qida took several medicated baths in Tongwen Hall, and the qi and blood penetrated the fascia of the whole body, diluting it to almost nothing.
Otherwise, at the Donglailou party last night, I might even be disliked by the young master and cause some unpleasantness.
"Brother, the fish stall is open today, there must be a lot of people coming, right?"
Bai Ming soaked in hot water and rubbed his body vigorously.
"Uncle Liang, Brother Shui, Deng Yong from Duandaomen, if Tongwen Hall... Master Ning will definitely not get involved, Uncle Dao may be there.
There are also Xiantou, Aunt Zhou, and Uncle Changshun who want to help with the oars and the boat. There are probably more than a dozen people. "
Bai Qi had a strong body and was a little taller than the barrel. He looked at the delicate skin that was not so dark and the calluses on his palms and soles, and said:
"You still need money to support your family. It has only been a while now, and you no longer look like a fisherman who has been exposed to the wind and sun."
After a while, the two brothers wiped clean and finished dressing.
Bai Ming's cotton clothes were custom-made from a clothing store. They were thick and warm, and he wore a fluffy hat. Only his small face was exposed, with somewhat red lips and white teeth.
Bai Qi changed into Tongwenguan's attire, a black straight-breasted robe, a belt, long boots, and a frame with broad shoulders, broad back, and long legs, which made him look extremely heroic.
The looks of each are pretty good!
It was half past midnight and there were crowds of people at the door of the Dongshi shop.
Guys, laborers, fishermen, and villagers who joined in the fun all gathered at the dock.
The low-income households in the outer city of Heihe County don't have much to do. Markets and temple fairs are the biggest events. It's rare to see so many people in normal times.
Today is particularly exciting because in less than two months, Bai Qilang has transformed from a fisherman to a fish stall owner. The deeds of Bai Qilang have spread to everyone.
When his business opened, naturally everyone wanted to come over and take a look at what this outstanding young talent among the Blackwater River fishermen looked like.
Liang Laoshi ate a few silver sand carp, his legs and feet became more agile, and he did not huddle on the rocking chair:
"Ah Qi is getting better and better. If you want to get married anytime, let Sanshui arrange it for you."
Bai Qi's eyes twitched. At what age would he be forced to get married?
Quickly divert the trouble to the east and say:
"Brother Shui is not married yet, right? There are so many good families in Heihe County. Uncle Liang, please pay more attention to them and try to have grandchildren as soon as possible."
As expected, Liang Laoshi shifted his firepower and glared at Liang Sanshui:
"I've tried so many matchmakers to make peace, but this bastard didn't even bother with any of them!"
Liang Sanshui was covering his mouth and snickering, but in the blink of an eye he was scolded by his father, who immediately put on a bitter face.
After chatting for a while, it was time.
Bai Qi took his brother Bai Ming and strode to the arranged incense table.
There are all kinds of red candles, melons and fruits on it, which is quite solemn.
There are more and more people watching, with envy, jealousy, admiration... all kinds of eyes are mixed, intertwined on Bai Qi, who holds three sticks of incense in his hand and bows to the Heishui River.
"very impressive!"
“I opened a fish stall at a young age!”
"Changshun and the others have merged their boats, so they can avoid the stall's commission!"
"So good? I can join Ah Qi tomorrow!"
"No one else may want you..."
While everyone was whispering, the noise of playing and beating suddenly came over.
Deng Yong led a group of junior disciples from Duandaomen, with leather drums hanging on their waists, shouting "Baiji Fish Stall, good luck opening". The crowd was so loud that only the dragon and lion dances were included.
The grandness is comparable to the Chinese New Year!
On the other side, people like He Tai from Yulan's young master, Song Qiying from Chaishi's second son, Han Li from Tianying Martial Arts School, and Miss Zhu from Shenshou Sect were all galloping over in bright clothes and angry horses.
They were followed by a large group of entourage, all wearing bright clothes, and their imposing manner shocked the villagers to scatter.
"Brother Bai! Your fish stall is opening today, and I'm here to congratulate you!"
He Tailuo cupped his hands, and the crowds of people moved to both sides and separated automatically, for fear of blocking the road to the young master's house.
"It's too simple. Why don't you kill three animals? Yesterday, seven or eight hunters worked together to kill a wild boar. Let's just bring it to you, Brother Bai, so that you can sacrifice it to the Dragon King!"
Qiying Dala of Song Dynasty said.
"If Second Young Master Song wants to show off, he should wait for the temple fair."
Miss Zhu covered her mouth and smiled softly. Her bright eyes glanced at Bai Qi, who was even more handsome than last night, and she was quite approving.
Among the fishermen, there are actually such outstanding people.
Many villagers in coarse linen clothes looked at the rich and noble young men and could not help but feel ashamed and lowered their heads.
But I kept thinking in my heart:
"When did Bai Ah Qi become so capable? She got into a relationship with a young master from a rich family..."
Seeing more and more people gathering in Wuyang Yang, Liang Laoshi quickly reminded:
"Ah Qi, it's time to get out of the boat and go down the river, so as not to delay the good time."
Bai Qi raised his hands to the surroundings and shouted loudly and powerfully:
"Thank you to all the folks and friends who came to congratulate me. The opening of the little fish stall is not worth mentioning. Thanks to my friends for supporting me.
We all make a living in the Heishui River, relying on the food provided by the Dragon King. Today we are praying to God for good weather and abundant harvests in the coming year! "
