Chapter 71

Early in the morning, Zhang Xinjie got up to wash and clean his personal hygiene.

By the time everything was handled properly, the sky was already bright, and the time had reached past seven o'clock.

After greeting his parents, he took his briefcase and hurried out; working in Central, the time he spent on commuting every day was not short.

There was a tea restaurant downstairs that had been operating for more than ten years, which could be considered a time-honored brand on Shanghai Street.

Zhang Xinjie was a regular here, and his breakfast every morning was basically solved here.

"Jie Zai, there is fresh porridge cooked with fresh pig liver today; do you want a bowl?"

Tea restaurant boss Li Shu saw Zhang Xinjie and recommended with a smile, "The taste is quite good, both nutritious and delicious!"

"Oh, Li Shu has new porridge items here, then give me a bowl!"

Zhang Xinjie was not polite; working in Central, he still had good consumption ability.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant fresh porridge was served, and he saw at a glance nearly ten strips of pig liver floating up and down in the thin porridge.

While stuffing a mouthful into his mouth, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow Li Shu, what's wrong today, so willing to spend money, how much is this bowl of pig liver porridge?"

"Ten dollars, very cheap!"

When Li Shu said this, his heart was aching faintly.

If it weren't for the rules explained by the scum who delivered the goods, this bowl of pig liver porridge would have to be sold for fifteen or even twenty dollars; it contained real fresh pig liver.

Although the pig liver was cut very thinly, Li Shu didn't dare to fool the scum who delivered the goods too much.

Ten or so pig liver meat threads, Li Shu pondered how there should be about one or two.

Placed in some large restaurants, plus a little side dish, it would be a proper dish, and selling it for over a hundred dollars would be very easy.

He still knew some of the ways in the restaurant industry.

"Wow, so cheap!"

Zhang Xinjie was taken aback, looked at the pig liver meat threads remaining in half of the large bowl, and couldn't help but say, "Is Li Shu doing a good deed, suddenly becoming so generous?"

If it weren't for the bowl of pig liver porridge being full, plus a cage of shrimp dumplings that he couldn't eat, he really wanted a second bowl, very worried that Li Shu's generosity would only be for this morning.

"It's not that I'm generous!"

Li Shu didn't take the credit; who among the neighbors didn't know who?

He said with a smile, "It's Feng Ge from our Shanghai Street who got a cheap source of goods!"

"His underlings delivered the goods directly to the door and also set rules, not allowing me to sell at too high a price, otherwise they wouldn't supply goods anymore!"

Speaking of this, he said depressedly, "These are all fresh good goods; they are sold too cheaply!"

"So it's Feng Ge!"

Zhang Xinjie was immediately relieved, finished the remaining pig liver porridge in a few strokes, and also ate the cage of shrimp dumplings clean, and then paid the money satisfied.

Such a nutritious and rich breakfast, totaling fifteen dollars, was indeed quite cheap.

Compared to his salary of over five thousand, approaching six thousand a month, it was really nothing.

For Feng Ge, who had joined Hong Hing and became the Hong Hing Sai Kung Hall Master, he still had a good impression.

Although the other party was a society boss, he was quite rule-abiding.

As long as it was the rules he set, even he himself strictly followed them, not to mention others.

This attitude of treating everyone equally was really beneficial to the ordinary residents of Shanghai Street.

At least, there was no need to worry about being harassed by society scum in normal times.

Just this point alone, Feng Ge quickly gathered the hearts of the people in his territory, it was just that simple.

Not to mention, since Feng Ge sat in Shanghai Street, his territory was quite peaceful.

Compared to the previous smog, the current environment was much better.

Even the nightclubs here became regular at a speed visible to the naked eye; even if ordinary people went in to consume, there was no need to worry about causing unprovoked disaster.

In the past, Zhang Xinjie never went to Shanghai Street nightclubs; it was too chaotic.

But recently, when he was free at night, he would go to the nearest nightclub to sit for a while.

There, there were many white-collar workers like him, and even police who came out to relax after work.

Even if he took a fancy to a certain beauty, there was no need to worry that the other party would be a little girl mixing in the underworld!

The environment here was no worse than the medium-to-high-end entertainment venues in Central.

But could he, an ordinary white-collar worker, afford the medium-to-high-end entertainment venues in Central?

It was also because of this that he had a good impression of Feng Ge, who created such a good environment.

So hearing Li Shu's explanation, Zhang Xinjie, who was originally worried about food safety, was immediately relieved.

It wasn't that he completely believed in Feng Ge's character, but he felt that with Feng Ge's strength, he wouldn't actively ruin his reputation for a little petty gain.

Didn't you hear Li Shu complaining? In order to let them, these diners, eat cheap fresh pig liver, he didn't even allow Li Shu to deliberately increase the price; which boss would do such a thing?

In Zhang Xinjie's view, it was simply doing charity!

The price of pork in Hong Kong is not cheap, and pig liver is much more expensive than pork.

If the family boiled a pot of pig liver soup, it would have to be treated solemnly as an absolute main dish.

He still knew these common sense things clearly in his heart. It was precisely because of this that his impression of Feng Ge was even better.

If the other party wasn't a society boss, he felt that Feng Ge could completely run for the Yau Tsim Mong District Councilor, definitely much stronger than those councilors who only made various verbal promises but completely forgot their promises after being elected.

With various thoughts in his heart, he got up and prepared to leave the tea restaurant.

"Jie Zai, there is pig trotter rice in the shop tonight; do you want a portion when you come back after work?"

Just then, Li Shu, who was busy, suddenly reminded, "There is also pig lung soup, totaling less than forty dollars, quite cheap and affordable!"

"Wow, really so cheap?"

Before Zhang Xinjie could speak, other diners couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true!"

Li Shu said happily, "Feng Ge can provide dozens of catties of fresh pork, pig liver, and pig lung every day; you guys are in for a treat!"

"How much is that pig trotter rice a bowl!"

Zhang Xinjie asked curiously, "How much pig trotter meat is in it?"

"Fifteen dollars, set dead by Feng Ge again!"

Li Shu said depressedly, "That's a full half of a braised pig trotter; just thinking about it makes me feel it's too cheap!"

S-ha!

Zhang Xinjie felt that his saliva was about to flow down, feeling that the lunch box he ordered casually in the office at noon had no taste at all, and the key price was even more expensive than pig trotter rice.

If he didn't know that Li Shu's tea restaurant couldn't deliver goods to Central, he really wanted to pack all three meals a day at Li Shu's place.

Damn, Feng Ge is really a good person, but his tentacles can't reach Central.

Zhang Xinjie left depressed, but quite looking forward to the pig trotter rice in the evening, his whole heart was restless.
