Chapter 569: I don't want to take action during the New Year

As a result, after waiting for a long time for the second table to be seated, it was snatched away by a few hooligans who came from nowhere.

Some people couldn't stand this.

It’s not that they don’t dare to bully the strong men, they only dare to bully the small hooligans. They had just arrived and hadn’t been standing for long, but how long had they been waiting for this table?

Anyone can see them waiting nearby, so how can they pretend they don't exist?

Zhou Su said: "Hey, we were here first, you guys get up!"

The gangsters looked at each other, laughed, and looked at Zhou Su mockingly, "You got it first, so it's yours? Why don't you say you saw it first, so it's yours? When you go out, whoever moves faster gets it, don't you understand?"

It was New Year's Day, so Zhou Guo didn't want to do anything. He said to Zhou Su, "It's okay. They've finished eating and are rushing to drink soup. Let's wait for a while."

When these words were spoken, not only Zhou Su, but even the gangsters were stunned.

Zhou Dacang suppressed his laughter and turned his head away.

Zhou Su was confused for a moment and was curious, "What kind of soup are they going to drink?"

Zhou Guo said: "Meng Po soup."

"Oh~~ So you want to drink Meng Po soup!" Zhou Su dragged out the tone, sounding very sarcastic.

"Meng Po soup? What is Meng Po... Damn it, this kid actually told us to go to hell!"

It’s New Year’s Day, who can stand being scolded like this?

Five or six hooligans stood up, grabbed the benches and chopsticks, and were ready to fight.

Zhou Guo stretched out her hand and asked Zhou Dacang and Zhou Su to step back. Although fighting on New Year's Day was not a good idea, she didn't mind being beaten. To be honest, it seemed like she hadn't fought for a long time. She rubbed her wrist and almost laughed out loud. She was really excited.

But before either side could start fighting, a burly man at the nearby table stood up, grabbed a gangster and slapped him twice, making the gangster dizzy, seeing stars and oozing blood from his mouth.

This scene made everyone dumbfounded. They didn’t understand what this person was trying to do.

Zhou Guo and Zhou Su opened their mouths wide, and Zhou Dacang was also surprised.

The sturdy man pushed the hooligans to the ground, and the hooligans on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood, and also spat out a few teeth. All the teeth were knocked out? !

Zhou Guo counted them out of boredom and found four. He felt a little sympathetic. There shouldn't be any teeth that need to be filled at this time, right?

The teeth won’t grow back for the rest of my life. Once they fall out, I’ll be missing several teeth for the rest of my life. How pitiful!

It’s better to cut off your hands and feet, at least it can be cured!

When a few hooligans saw what was happening, they rushed forward yelling and carrying stools, tables and chopsticks.

The remaining two strong men also stood up. Several big men who were almost six feet tall stood in front of the people, like an eagle and a chick.

But the hooligans hesitated for a moment before rushing forward. If they left now, how could they continue to stay here under the watchful eyes of everyone?

Following a few screams, the gangsters were thrown out one by one like rags, and screams could be heard from time to time on the street.

When the bailiffs who heard the news arrived, the strong men had already left, and the remaining thugs also walked away crying out in pain.

Zhou Guo and the other two didn't understand why the three men helped them until they sat down at the stall.

"Sir, here are your three bowls of wontons!"

Zhou Dacang gave each of them a pair of chopsticks and said, "Don't think about it, just eat quickly. He probably thought they were making too much noise, so he taught them a lesson. They didn't break any limbs, just lost a few teeth, which is already good enough."

Zhou Guo bared his teeth and said, "Uncle, losing teeth is worse than losing limbs. Broken limbs can be reattached, but lost teeth can never be replaced. He will have lisp when he speaks in the future."

Zhou Su gulped down a mouthful of soup, and after swallowing it, he said, "Drinking soup will also cause leakage."

Zhou Dacang was silent. After thinking about it, it seemed to be the case. How should the tooth be cured?

"Eat it while it's hot, and then go shopping. We came here happily during the Chinese New Year, so we must leave happily."

Zhou Guo nodded, thinking that the wontons were delicious, and ordered five more bowls in one go.

The stall owner later glanced at her secretly while he was eating, and the guests at other tables also looked over intentionally or unintentionally, wondering how such a handsome young man could have such a big appetite and eat five or six bowls of wontons in one go.

After eating the wontons, the few of them went forward again.

Zhou Guo went into the shop and picked out all kinds of candied fruits in one breath. He then went to the cloth shop and picked out two pieces of cotton cloth for each household in the village. It was New Year's Day, so he had to give benefits to the people below.

Since there were a lot of things, the shop assistants would naturally deliver them to the carriage at the city gate.

A few people just walked forward.

This time I walked to the Silver Shop.

The silver shop wasn't that crowded.

Zhou Dacang walked inside and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Zhou Guo and Zhou Su were also happy to visit the silver shop. They still had a gold lock and a silver lock hanging on their chests, and Li would not let them take them off.

There are a few guests in the silver shop at this time.

Among them, Zhou Guo recognized one of the most beautifully dressed girls at a glance. She was Miss Wang, whom he met at the Lantern Festival that year. She still had her hairpin in her hand.

After not seeing her for two years, Miss Wang has grown taller and looks better.

She was very graceful and elegant, and every move she made was graceful. Zhou Guo thought that this was probably what a young lady from a wealthy family looked like.

They were coming out and walking outside.

When the two sides met, the ladies frowned when they saw that they were male guests, lowered their heads and hurried away.

Zhou Guo originally thought that Miss Wang would not recognize her if she was dressed like that, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even glance at her.

He couldn't help but look down at his own attire. A royal blue silk gown with a jade belt around his waist. He thought that although the color was a bit flashy, it didn't look like a lecher, did it?

Is the atmosphere in the north so strict?

Do you avoid male guests like them?

She was very confused, as it seemed that this was not the case throughout the North.

The shopkeeper came over with a big smile on his face. "What would you like, gentlemen? Although our shop is small, we have a wide variety of dishes."

Zhou Dacang said, "Look at the jewelry and head ornaments you have here."

When he heard that he wanted a headdress, the shopkeeper smiled even more, "This, please."

Ask them to sit aside.

A waiter brought hot tea and several plates of snacks and candied fruits.

Zhou Guo looked at the food on the table and felt that, apart from anything else, the service here was better than anywhere else.

They bought so many things in the city, but never had a snack or half a cup of hot tea from the shopkeeper. They had to learn from him.

The dim sum in the capital city is more exquisite than that in the county town, and there are many delicious ones.

After sitting for a while, the shopkeeper came with a young waiter and brought two trays with two golden head ornaments on them. One was a phoenix head ornament inlaid with pearls and gems, and the other was a red gold filigree peony head ornament. The center of the flower was embellished with fine gems, which sparkled brightly.

Zhou Guo and Zhou Su opened their eyes wide, there were so many good things in the silver shop in this county town.

So beautiful!
