Chapter 1171 1173【Tragic experience】
While speaking, Uncle Wang had already made a large bowl of brown sugar water, and served them with a few hot barbecued pork buns.
When Wu Chilin saw it, his saliva almost flowed down.
"Eat, don't be too cautious." Xiang Nan said.
"Master Ye, I want to eat, what do you do?" Wu Chilin was about to eat, but suddenly stopped, and asked worriedly.
He knew that in this year and month, no one had any surplus rice.
Xiang Nan's family has so many people, if he eats these meals, they will be hungry.
Seeing what Wu Chilin said, Xiang Nan couldn't help but nodded.
What a good man, he is so hungry that his chest is on his back, and he can still take care of others.
Such a good person is worth saving.
"You can just eat, there are still some at home." Xiang Nan smiled and said.
Wu Chilin saw this, he was no longer polite, he took a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun and sugar water, as if the wind was blowing away.
In a short while, ten barbecued pork buns and a large bowl of sugar water were all eaten.
But judging by his unsatisfactory meaning, it seemed that he would eat another portion as well.
"Okay, I've been hungry for so long, this is my first meal, so I can't eat too much." Xiang Nan stopped, "Let's eat these first, there's still food tomorrow."
Wu Chilin nodded, then blushed and said, "Master Ye, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't had a full meal in three years."
Xiang Nan nodded.
He knew that after the Japanese invaded, the first step would be to burn, kill, loot, rob money, rob food, and rob women. So he moved out of the mountain early.
But the others didn't believe him, so they decided to stay in Fushan, and now they are out of luck.
"I really regret it now, I just listened to you at the beginning. Sell the restaurant and come to Macau with you." Wu Chilin said again, his eyes turned red, and tears flowed out, "This way I won't be separated from my brother , I don’t even know if he is dead or alive now.”
"Okay, don't be sad. Sha Danyuan has always been smart, and he has also learned kung fu, so nothing will happen." Xiang Nan comforted, "Okay, you go take a bath first, rest for a night, and we will get up early tomorrow. chat."
"Yes." Wu Chilin nodded, and Uncle Wang took him to take a bath.
…
Turn around, get up early, and have dinner together.
Although there is a famine outside, the Ye family eats well.
Preserved egg porridge, deep-fried dough sticks, small pickles, and even shrimp dumplings and rice rolls, Wu Chi Lin was taken aback.
He hadn't seen such an exquisite breakfast for three years, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Okay, let's eat." Xiang Nan smiled, and as soon as he raised his chopsticks, Wu Chilin grabbed two fried dough sticks in his hand, then opened his mouth wide and stuffed them in.
The way he was eating startled everyone.
"Wu Chi Lin, eat slowly, don't rush." Xiang Nan laughed.
Wu Chi Lin blushed, feeling very embarrassed.
When he was working in the mine, he was used to grabbing food. If he didn't rob, he would have nothing to eat and would have to work hungry.
Wu Chilin nodded and began to eat.
But judging by his appearance, it is obviously still unnatural.
This made Xiang Nan sigh.
Wu Chilin is the young master of the restaurant, and he has never eaten any good food. To him, this fritters were nothing rare at all.
But it is such a person who is not gluttonous, but now he is tortured like a starving ghost, which shows how hateful the Orientals are.
…
After the meal, Xiang Nan asked Uncle Wang to make a pot of tea and bring it up, and chatted with Wu Chilin while drinking.
"Southern Yunnan Pu'er tea?! It's been a long time since I drank it. It smells so good." Wu Chilin took a sip and couldn't help but recall the taste.
"Drink more if it tastes good." Xiang Nan smiled, "By the way, what's the situation in Fushan now?"
"Alas, all businesses are withered and hunger is everywhere. It's like a **** on earth." Wu Chilin put down his teacup and sighed, "After the Orientals arrived, they began to burn, kill and loot, killing businesses, factories and workshops everywhere. They were all copied. Now there are only a dozen or so houses in Fushan that can still be started.
Everyone’s rice noodles, livestock, and money were robbed by them, and they had nowhere to go to work. As a result, some died of starvation, some died of illness, and some killed. In the past few years, every family in Fushan has been wearing filial piety, every household is crying and mourning, and many people have died, filling up the mass graves outside the city.
And the worst thing about the Orientals is that when they heard that Mount Bishan is the hometown of martial arts, they would find those who practiced kung fu to compete in martial arts. If you win, you will be given a bag of rice.
Many masters competed with them in order to stutter, and they were beaten all over. My master Liao Zhen was beaten to death by them. I wanted to compete with them at first, but then I remembered that Master Ye said that you should keep your useful body, so I endured it all the time. "
Xiang Nan nodded, "The villagers have all suffered. But don't worry, one day, sooner or later, we will settle the score with them."
"Yes." Wu Chilin gritted his teeth.
"You can stay at my house from now on." Xiang Nan said again, "With me eating and drinking, I will never starve you."
"Master Ye, thank you." Wu Chilin was moved when he heard this.
"We're all friends, so you're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hands, and then smiled, "I'll open a restaurant later, and you'll be the shopkeeper. Don't waste all your abilities."
Macau is now full of hunger and prices are soaring, but it still does not prevent some people from eating and drinking, singing and dancing. Just like what Du Fu wrote in his poem, the wine and meat of Zhumen smell bad, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Because a large number of immigrants fled, they brought huge wealth. Coupled with being a neutral zone, a large amount of materials are transshipped here, making Macau's economy unprecedentedly prosperous, and it is even known as the "Golden Age".
"Master Ye, I really want to thank you. Don't worry, I will do a good job to repay your kindness." Wu Chilin was immediately grateful when he heard it.
…
Xiang Nan then invested 3,000 yuan in Dayang to open a restaurant named Jufud, with Wu Chilin as the shopkeeper, managing and operating it.
Wu Chilin used to be Shaodong of Shan Restaurant, and his family has been running the restaurant business for more than 50 years, starting from his grandfather's generation.
He learned business from his father since he was a child, and managed the restaurant very well. All the rich people in Fushan like to drink tea and eat at his place.
So Xiang Nan doesn't want to bury talents.
Sure enough, after Wu Chilin took over the restaurant, he soon became popular with elegant decoration, delicious food, and thoughtful service, and the business was very prosperous.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan accepted Wu Chilin as his apprentice, which made Wu Chilin even more grateful to Xiang Nan.
"Master, I have wanted to worship you as my teacher for a long time. I don't want to have the opportunity today." He knelt on the ground and offered tea ceremony.
"Wu Chi Lin, work hard in the future." Xiang Nan encouraged him, "You are still very young, and you still have a lot of promise in the future."
"Actually, I don't even think about the future. I'm very happy to get my brother back and reunite the family." Wu Chilin said.
"Well, don't worry, it will happen." Xiang Nan comforted him.
