Chapter 498 Escape
Scar Kai is indeed a powerful figure, and his understanding of Binjiang is far greater than that of Lu Ye.
For example, this hot pot restaurant, although the storefront is not very big, as soon as you enter the door, the aroma of mutton is really overwhelming.
Even though it was noon, there were still quite a few people in the restaurant.
There are four tables in this room.
There were five or six people gathered in front of three of the tables.
In the middle of each table, there is a huge copper hot pot.
This hot pot looks similar to the common copper hot pot, but it is much larger, and there are equal-sized grooves inside the pot.
Each compartment corresponds to a seat.
Diners order what they want to eat and then cook it in their own trough. The meat and fish will be absorbed into the soup, and diners can drink their own soup directly.
Just use the original soup and the original food.
Wait until the next diner comes and then change the soup.
"Haha... did you see those pots? Tell me, they're older than my dad."
"It's been around since the Qing Dynasty." Scar Kai introduced it to Lu Ye and Zhao Qing with a smile.
Lu Ye was really surprised. If you think about it this way, this thing is considered an antique now.
"Lao Zhang, open that table for us. I'm entertaining two friends." Scar Kai shouted towards the kitchen across the window.
"Coming." The person inside responded.
When the other party came out with a large basin of charcoal, Lu Ye finally understood that this antique-level hot pot actually used charcoal from under the table.
It's just like the earthen stove in the countryside, with a pot on top and firewood added through the small hole on the front.
When I lifted the lid, I saw that the huge copper pot had already been scrubbed clean.
The so-called soup is nothing more than some clear water with onions, ginger, red dates and wolfberries.
It really is authentic boiled mutton.
After Lu Ye saw the menu on the wall, he finally understood why there were so many people here.
A plate of lamb chops, with the weight marked on the back as three taels, costs only 5 cents.
There are also vegetables in the back that cost 3 cents on a platter, and noodles that cost 1 cents.
Add 1 cents a cup of loose-leaf liquor.
One person can sit there and have a good meal with meat and wine for 1 yuan, and eat well and be full.
How could this business not be popular?
"Come...you're welcome, just order whatever you want to eat." Scar Kai greeted Lu Ye and Zhao Qing.
Authentic Erba sauce, with some chopped green onions and coriander, and a little chili oil.
A few slices of mutton as thin as paper are tossed in the pot and then stuffed into your mouth with some condiments.
I have to say, this tastes really good.

Outside a certain branch office.
Cai Quan was standing under a tree, cigarette in hand, chatting with a man in uniform in front of him.
"The man you're talking about has done a lot of things, not just running a casino. He also organized people to sell blood and loan sharks. The Taihe City Police recently busted a blood trafficking ring, and the ringleader directly pointed to Lu Tianci."
"People from the Taihe City Bureau are trying to arrest him now." The man in uniform said while smoking a cigarette.
Hearing these words, Cai Quan did not look surprised at all.
How could Lu Tianci be willing to give up 4% of his profits to him just to ask him to help solve a small gambling case?
"Has a wanted warrant been issued?" Cai Quan asked.
"Not yet," the man replied.
"If there's no arrest warrant, then this matter will be easier to handle. This person has some connection to me, and I want to protect him. This matter still depends on you."
"But don't worry, you will definitely benefit from it after it's done." Cai Quan said.
"this..."
The man in uniform looked embarrassed.
"This matter is really not easy to handle. After all, someone in Taihe is accusing him. If he doesn't turn himself in, the case will remain unsolved. It's not easy to handle."
"Alright, you're still trying to trick me. Find someone to tell that guy to change his words, and then we can find him a new identity. Is that that difficult?"
Cai Quan said indifferently.
Obviously, Cai Quan had done similar things more than once or twice, and it seemed like a piece of cake for him to talk about it now.
The man chuckled: "After all, he is from another place. If I want to find someone to do something, I dare not use someone who is not reliable."
Cai Quan reached into his arms, took out an envelope, and then stuffed it over.
"Then find a reliable one."
The man in uniform squeezed the envelope with his hand, feeling its thickness, and his smile widened.
"If Master Cai says yes, then it must be okay. Just wait for my news."
"Hurry up." Cai Quan reminded.
"rest assured."
Soon, Cai Quan left here.
Under the big tree, two stubbed-out cigarette butts proved that someone had been here not long ago.
Ever since Cai Quan followed Lu Tianci to see the warehouse, Lu Tianci personally described to him step by step how to transform it into an entertainment city.
The beautiful pancake made Cai Quan intoxicated.
The main source of Cai Quan’s current income is the gifts given to him by others when they ask him to do things for them.
But this money alone is not enough for him to maintain this huge network of relationships.
If this entertainment city could really be built, he would have another channel to make a lot of money, and having such a place would make it easier to maintain his network of contacts.
Therefore, Cai Quan immediately decided that no matter what, he must let Lu Tianci build this entertainment city.
······
Finished a hotpot meal.
After saying goodbye to Scar Kai, Lu Ye and Zhao Qing returned directly to the guesthouse.
Zhao Qing didn't take back any of the six cartons of cigarettes he had brought with him. He left them all to Scar Kai as the first batch of goods.
Zhao Qing returned to the room, took out the travel bag he brought with him from under the bed, and took out a few cigarettes from it.
"Brother Ye, I'll check out soon and catch the evening bus, then I'll go back."
"It's hard for me to carry these cigarettes, so I'll leave them for you to smoke slowly. Just don't be disgusted."
What Zhao Qing took out were all Zhonghua and Changbaishan cigarettes in gold boxes. The value of these few cigarettes was over a hundred yuan.
"You're so polite to me, it's just a small favor, nothing."
Lu Ye understood that Zhao Qing did this out of gratitude to him.
"Brother Ye, you may not think this is a big deal to you, but it's a great help to me. I feel a little embarrassed for just a few packs of cigarettes. Brother Ye, you must keep it, otherwise you'll be slapping me in the face." Zhao Qing said.
When Chen Hao got married, Lu Ye bought a large gold lock worth nearly ten thousand yuan.
Zhao Qing knew very well that Lu Ye helped him not for money, but entirely out of the affection they had accumulated before.
Therefore, Zhao Qing did not prepare any red envelopes or anything like that for Lu Ye. Although those few packs of high-end cigarettes were not enough to express his gratitude, they were the most appropriate gifts he could come up with at the moment.
Seeing Zhao Qing said so, Lu Ye was no longer polite: "Okay, then I'll take it."
