Chapter 47 Golden Tower
Chapter 47 Golden Tower
Zu Miao Street, Foshan
"Hey, have you heard? A martial arts master came from the north these days. He plans to open a brothel on Zu Miao Street. He is now recruiting soldiers everywhere."
"What does this have to do with us? We can't do anything except selling newspapers. How can people be interested in us?"
"It is said that as long as you are clean-looking, have good sense and please the boss, you can become a clerk and get a full dollar a month!"
"What? There is such a good thing?! Anyway, it won't hurt to go and take a look. Let's go, let's give it a try. Maybe we'll get lucky and get selected."
The newsboys spread the news by word of mouth, and within a few days, most of Foshan knew that a powerful northerner had come to the prosperous Zu Miao Street and was going to open a unique brothel.
"Sister Li, do you think this northerner can do it? I haven't even heard of any sisters going to him to inquire about the market these days. How can this brothel operate without girls?"
"I heard that the boss is quite manly-looking, so he might be planning to..."
Sister Li's mind drifted away as she listened to the irrelevant flirting of her subordinates. Being in the entertainment industry, information spread quickly. As a famous brothel owner in Foshan, Sister Li naturally knew a lot more inside information than others.
As the guy from the north could have the entire Foshan Martial Arts Association accompany him for dinner at Tianhai Pavilion, he must be a man of great power and strength. Without the necessary skills, how could he dare to open a brothel in Zumiao Street?
So should I take a gamble and try to gain the credit of being a dragon's follower?
Having said that, Sister Keli still felt a little hesitant when looking at the prostitutes under her.
Some people are still hesitating, while others have already started taking action.
"You said that your ancestors were cooks who came to Beijing to cook for the emperor, and then fell into decline during your father's generation, so you practiced cooking skills to revive the family business, and therefore chose to come here to be a cook?"
Qin Huai looked at the fat chef with a short head and thick neck in front of him and didn't waste any more words with him.
"Then try the food first. If it's good, you can stay and you won't lose any monthly salary. If it's not good, then you can stay."
No matter how great your ancestors brag, it’s useless if your food is not tasty.
Just as Qin Huai and the other three were waiting to try the food, a muscular and strong figure rushed in hurriedly.
"Boss, I heard you guys are hiring, I want to be the head of the security team!"
As soon as the burly man entered the room, he saw a warrior who was no less tall than him sitting in the main seat, staring at him with a sharp look in his eyes.
But he was not shy. He sat down on the chair in the middle of the room under Qin Huai's gaze, as if the head of the guards was already in his pocket.
"Can you tell me why you want to be our bodyguard?"
"There's no reason, except that you guys paid the most money, and I ate a lot, and you said that food and lodging were free, so I thought it was a good deal, so I came.
"From your appearance, you should be a martial artist, so I'll be frank with you.
If you want to be a bodyguard, that's fine. As for moving up, that depends on your skill level."
Qin Huai saw that the big man was honest and straightforward, so he didn't make things difficult for him and just reminded him with a smile.
"Okay, let's try it, but I'm naturally strong, so you better be careful, or I'll hurt you."
"It's okay. I see you are also a Northern martial artist. This room is too small to compare fists and feet. So let's just play some scratching."
"OK, no problem."
The two men sat opposite each other, with their four strong thighs clamped against each other, their lower bodies motionless, purely competing in martial arts.
Qin Huai and the big man raised their left hands and blocked each other, starting the competition.
Qin Huai wanted to test the big man's skills, so he didn't attack first, but waited for the big man to make a move. Seeing that Qin Huai looked down on him, the big man snorted, turned his left wrist, changed his palm into a grab and grabbed Qin Huai's forearm fiercely, but he wanted to use this sudden huge force to take Qin Huai off the chair directly.
Qin Huai remained calm, his lower body as steady as a rock, and withdrew, pushed, and squeezed with his left arm, drawing an arc to offset the force of the capture.
Seeing that Qin Huai handled it easily, the big man pressed down with his left hand and extended his right hand forward, and his continuous punches rushed towards Qin Huai's face like a high-speed spinning windmill.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Qin Huai raised his arms alternately, and the continuous shadows of his arms blocked the powerful punches like a hand shield. When his fists and arms intersected, he felt that the big man's punching power was somewhat weakened, and Qin Huai seized the opportunity to hit the big man's elbow with a broken elbow.
The big man tried to block the attack with his elbow, but he still couldn't bear the force. His body swayed and he could hardly sit still.
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows and raised his right hand, signaling the big man to start over.
The big man felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and when the two men blocked with their hands, the big man suddenly exerted force with his muscular arms, and his left elbow hit Qin Huai's lower abdomen with a whistling sound!
Qin Huai slapped his right hand diagonally downwards, and the big man's face suddenly twisted, but he still gritted his teeth and leaned forward to chop Qin Huai's left shoulder with his right elbow.
Qin Huai dodged to the side and leaned forward lightly, pushing the big man off the chair.
"You are good at martial arts, and you are more than qualified to be a guard leader. I think you played a lot when you were practicing martial arts."
"When I was little, my family was poor and there was nothing to play with, so I would just play with my dad."
The big man also climbed up from the ground, patted his butt, rubbed his elbow and replied with a grin.
Both of them felt very satisfied. Qin Huai was relieved to have found a young master to take care of the industry, and the big man was also happy to have found a job that provided him with food and drink and allowed him to improve his martial arts.
"Boss, that cook knows a lot. It's getting late, how about we eat?"
"Then let him serve the food. This will allow you to see the cooking skills of this chef."
Home-cooked stuffed dace, Taishi five-snake soup, salt-and-pepper pigeon, four-cup chicken, and three-shredded shredded chicken in phoenix nest.
"These ingredients must have cost a lot of money, but the color and aroma really speak for themselves."
Fat Head is also a cook. He gives quite objective comments on the various dishes that he prepares in an elegant manner.
There are not many words to describe the others. I can’t really describe them except that they are delicious.
"Although it's still a little behind the famous dishes of Tianhai Pavilion, our Jinlou doesn't focus on eating and drinking. The cooking skills are not satisfactory, so you can stay and be the head chef."
Qin Huai saw that the cook was indeed a talent, and his Jinlou was in its early stages of establishment and needed people, so he asked to keep the cook.
"Boss, do you think that Tan Laosi from the martial arts association can get us to Kowloon?"
"If it doesn't work, we can just swim over. With the boss's stamina and the three of us being good swimmers, we can get across without taking a boat."
Seeing that most of the people in Jinlou had been recruited, Fathead and Sea Wolf began to discuss how they could sneak into Kowloon Island by chance.
Qin Huai calculated the time and felt that the letter he wrote to Li Bingwu should have arrived by now, so there was no rush for the rest of the things.
Looking at the three people beside him who were racking their brains, he chuckled and signaled them to be patient.
"Don't worry, you three. Maybe we'll have a way to go to Kowloon before our business opens here."
