What’S Wrong With Just Eating His Majesty’S Soft Rice? Chapter 20
byChapter 20 Greater Risk
After taking care of his cell phone and clothes, Fang Cheng dragged Zhou Yinli back home. The air in the small house seemed to have a sense of peace of mind.
Fang Cheng habitually plopped down on the sofa and returned to his boneless laziness.
Zhou Yinli had long been familiar with him like this, so he moved his calf very naturally, and sat upright next to Fang Cheng’s calf. Fang Cheng followed his movement and rolled to the side, and continued to lie motionless on the sofa.Too much physical exertion today!
The only difference from before was that Zhou Yinli would immediately turn on the TV to watch his boring programs, but now he started to play with his mobile phone carefully while holding it in his hands.That’s called concentration.
He was playing and pushing the soft Fang Cheng: “What does this string of symbols mean?”
Fang Cheng propped himself up. He used to dislike his silly questions and suspected that he was faking it.Now that I know his identity, I realize that this person is not stupid or pretending, he really just doesn’t know.
After reading too many novel plots about modern people traveling back in time to ancient times, everyone has a filter on the matter of time travel, thinking that everyone can become a successful person and reach the pinnacle of life.But on the other hand, it’s hard to say what life will be like when the old antique travels to modern times. Not to mention that it’s miserable, it’s certain that he will hit a wall at every turn. After all, he doesn’t know anything.Haven’t seen anything.If Zhou Yinli hadn’t met him, you can imagine what he would have suffered.
Let’s just talk about Grandma Fang Cheng. She was alive to witness the occurrence of these modernizations. She was exposed to the world day by day, but she still couldn’t understand various technological products, let alone a real ancient person like Zhou Yinli.
It lacks the accumulation of thousands of years of scientific and technological civilization.If you are not frightened into schizophrenia, you are already mentally strong.
Fang Cheng leaned over and took a look: “This is English, the language of another country. This language is more popular around the world than our Chinese characters, so everyone learns it. We primary school students have started learning English. In addition to English, there are many courses, such as mathematics, physics…”
Zhou Yinli’s eyes were deep, and his breathing slowed down when he saw Fang Cheng’s rare serious explanation.
Fang Cheng explained a lot of things to him in detail, some of which Zhou Yinli had already read in books, and some of which were new, but no matter what Fang Cheng said to him, he did not interrupt.
He kept talking until midnight.
Fang Cheng’s throat was dry after talking, so he poured water for Fang Cheng. Later, Fang Cheng was very sleepy, but Zhou Yinli was still not sleepy at all.
Fang Cheng couldn’t keep his eyes open as he talked, and he didn’t even know what he was talking about. Then he got excited and realized that Zhou Yinli just looked at him and talked incoherently for a long time without reminding him.
I don’t know what the purpose is, but I guess I just want to see myself make a fool of myself!
Fang Cheng woke up a little and quickly came to his senses. He took advantage of this moment to teach Zhou Yinli how to search on his mobile phone. He told him to search online if he had any questions, and then gave him a warning.Then I was free to go to bed.
When I woke up the next day, I saw Zhou Yinli sitting on the sofa and looking at his mobile phone. He was not sleepy at all, but still had a vague sense of excitement.
Before, Fang Cheng might have told him not to stay up all night watching TV and playing with his mobile phone, but now he knew that he was really from ancient times.I can totally understand why he was so excited.
For an ancient person who was first exposed to high technology such as mobile phones, it would not be surprising for him to play without sleeping for three days and three nights if he did not control it.
“Ahem.” Fang Cheng coughed to remind him.
Zhou Yinli raised his head, his face was radiant and his energy was even better than usual. He thought he had opened up the Ren and Du channels: “Do you want to eat?”
Fang Cheng was a little surprised. After playing with his mobile phone all night, this man really became enlightened?You actually took the initiative to cook?
It seems that he has a clearer understanding of the equality of everyone in today’s society. He knows that he has no identity now and must rely on labor to earn a better life!
He was quite touched: “Let’s cook the noodles first today, add eggs, ham sausage, and a little green vegetables. You can’t do anything else.”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yinli shook his head and looked eager to try: “I can try cooking porridge, steaming eggs, and frying green vegetables.”
Fang Cheng waved his hand: “Better say goodbye now, I don’t dare to eat, so just cook noodles.”
Zhou Yinli glanced at him, a little disappointed, but agreed and went to the kitchen.Two bowls of hot instant noodles were quickly brought out.This is familiar.
Fang Cheng was not surprised and had a meal first.
He was very satisfied with this kind of meal, and he even praised Zhou Yinli very much.Don’t hesitate to praise.Zhou Yinli, who was used to being slapped by people around him, blushed.
“You should study the other meals carefully before cooking them for me. I don’t believe it can be done overnight.” Fang Cheng said very confidently and not at all polite.,
Zhou Yinli also thought about it completely and didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said. He nodded in a matter-of-fact manner: “Okay. The stir-fry you took me to the restaurant last time didn’t seem to be difficult, so you can give it a try.”
Fang Cheng didn’t expect him to agree so readily.After this emperor took the mobile phone, his acceptance became so strong that it even exceeded that of many modern men.After all, if you ask modern men to cook, some of them will say that women should cook and that men can make money.
On the contrary, Zhou Yinli, a traditional man, actually became interested!
Fang Cheng gave him another bonus. If he made it delicious, he could work as a cook in the future.
In any case, Zhou Yinli’s agreement to cook is a great thing for Fang Cheng. He usually doesn’t think about things that don’t violate the bottom line and are beneficial to him, and he just enjoys them first.
The appointment of Zhou Yinli as the home kitchen minister was announced on the spot.
From the emperor being demoted to mentally ill, to being the cooking minister, Zhou Yinli was very unfazed. He glanced at Fang Cheng and went to wash the dishes.
Fang Cheng couldn’t help but ask him, don’t you find it difficult for an emperor to cook and wash dishes?
Zhou Yinli said calmly: “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t accept it, but if it were you, it doesn’t hurt to do it for you and me.”
Fang Cheng’s face became hot for no reason.
“What’s wrong with me? Am I different from others? Because I was the first person you met when you came to this world, so am I special? In fact, I am just different from the people in your world, and there is no difference from the people in this world now. The more people you know, the more you will find that there is nothing special about me.”
Zhou Yinli just shook his head: “It’s different.”
As for what was different, he didn’t say a word more. No matter how Fang Cheng asked, he was unwilling to explain.
“If it’s different, it’ll be different.” Fang Cheng muttered, “Then what are your plans next?”
Now that they had come to an agreement, Fang Cheng couldn’t possibly send him back, and he obviously didn’t have a clue.
Just as Zhou Yinli was about to speak, Fang Cheng’s cell phone rang, interrupting Zhou Yinli’s words.
Fang Cheng looked down at the caller ID and immediately waved his hand to signal Zhou Yinli to shut up and stay quiet.
He walked out of the living room with his cell phone and entered the bedroom to answer the call.
On the other end of the phone was the voice of the long-lost Wei Ge: “Chengzi, I haven’t shown up for a long time. Where have you made a fortune recently?”
Hearing this tone, Fang Cheng knew something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and coughed twice, with a flattering smile: “Hey, Wei Ge, haven’t I had a cold these past few days? I haven’t recovered yet, and I don’t dare to see you for fear of infecting some of you. Then I have committed a big sin.”
While talking, Fang Cheng couldn’t help coughing, and it sounded like his lungs were about to come out.
“Okay, okay. Hey, this cold is so serious. You need to have a good rest.” The other party’s voice obviously contained some false concern, “But, when the cold is better, come and see your brothers. Brothers are not such shy people. If you are in trouble, you can just come and wear a mask. Let’s get together in the billiard hall tomorrow afternoon. I have something to announce.”
Fang Cheng quickly agreed.Wei Ge’s tone obviously didn’t allow him to refuse. If he didn’t agree again, it would be ugly.
After making the call, Fang Cheng left the living room. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Yinli looking at him with dark eyes.It was as if he had done something shameful, especially giving him the impression that he was a bad woman cheating on her husband behind her back.
Just catch him in bed!
Fang Cheng was frightened by his own association.After thinking about what he was afraid of, he felt more confident and glared at Zhou Yinli.
“What are you looking at?”
Zhou Yinli asked: “Whose phone number?”
Fang Cheng said: “You don’t know him.”
Zhou Yinli wanted to say something else, but Fang Cheng felt that he was a bit annoying because of his talk, so he quickly said: “Hey, didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to relearn the modern school curriculum? Why don’t you study quickly? I told you about those online courses. You want to learn Pinyin first, otherwise you won’t be able to type well.”
Zhou Yinli glanced at him and then started to play the video.He also announced: “Children, today we are going to learn rhymes…”
Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and went back to catch up on his sleep.
The next day, Fang Cheng lingered at home, but finally it was time, and Fang Cheng reluctantly prepared to go out.Before leaving, he told Zhou Yinli: “I’m going out for something. I don’t know when I’ll be back tonight. If you want to cook, just cook the noodles. If you don’t want to, just send me a message and I’ll order takeout for you. Just open the door and get some.”
Zhou Yinli’s expression remained unchanged, he stared at Fang Cheng and said, “Can I follow? If you need to do something, I can wait for you.”
At first, Fang Cheng thought why this man was so annoying, he was not a child, and he had to follow an adult wherever he went. After thinking about his identity and the fact that the two of them had hardly been separated during this period, it became understandable.
To understand is to understand, Fang Cheng is not that easy to talk to: “Of course not. My business is my business, why are you following me? I have to explain to others who you are, it’s too troublesome.”
These words obviously made Zhou Yinli’s face darken. He looked at Fang Cheng quietly for a while, then walked back to the sofa silently, turning his back to Fang Cheng and not looking at him anymore. As soon as the online class started: “Now, let’s learn about the overall recognition and reading of syllables. Children, follow the teacher and read, zh ch…”
“No need for takeout, I’ll cook my own food.”
Zhou Yinli turned his back to Fang Cheng, making him even more amused. Is this man having a temper?
It’s so nerve-wracking that such a big man is still an emperor, and he gets angry and turns his back on people just because they don’t take him out.
Fang Cheng was too lazy to coddle him and hurried out. If he was late, Wei Ge would definitely dislike him even more.
Nowadays, people have more and more entertainment activities, but billiard rooms are not as popular as before.The restaurant Fang Cheng went to was on the side of an old street. It used to be a very central location and had a glorious period, but it has declined now.
There were only a few people in the large billiard hall.
Fang Cheng entered the door and found a few people nesting in a corner. He calmed down his expression. Although he was wearing a mask, he still walked over with his eyes bent and a smile.
Several people were playing cards when they arrived, and when they saw him coming in, they just raised their eyelids.
This atmosphere is probably not Hongmen Banquet.
Fang Cheng smiled and walked over to Brother Wei to say hello.
Viagra had a cigarette in his mouth.
Fang Cheng took out a lighter and lit it for him.
“Chengzi. Are you dissatisfied with me? You haven’t shown up for so long. I had to call you in person before you would give me this face.”
When Fang Cheng heard this, he quickly expressed his feelings, coughed, and said angrily: “Brother Wei, how is this possible? You and us are going to be very prosperous. How can I dare to be dissatisfied with you? I am so satisfied with you! This is not a real cold these days. I am really afraid of affecting you, otherwise I will have to follow you no matter what.”
Fang Cheng winked at Li Pin as he spoke.Unexpectedly, Li Pin didn’t even look at him and just took care of himself.
“A pair of sharp points!”
Fang Cheng looked at the others again, but they all lowered their heads and didn’t even look at him.
He made up his mind, and several people decided to deal with him today.
Wei Ge said: “Chengzi, you are too lazy and don’t take your work seriously. If I hadn’t seen that you have a good relationship with them, I wouldn’t be willing to take you. I gave you this opportunity, but you didn’t cherish it. You haven’t been here these few times when we went out to do things. Aren’t you making me unable to get off the stage?”
Fang Cheng quickly flattered him a few more times and said a lot of nice things.In addition, several other people were relieved and said a few words of help.
Wei Ge’s posture has been done enough, and now he feels a little more comfortable.Then he cleared his throat and started talking about the important things he wanted to announce today.
Before speaking, he also highlighted what he had done with several people recently.
Fang Cheng’s expression didn’t change after hearing this, but his heart felt a little colder.
It wasn’t because he was jealous of how much money they had made recently, but because he heard Wei Ge mention that his recent results were the best among the gangsters in the area.So I had the opportunity to go to an underground casino called Dark Horse.He has already contacted a leader over there. He will meet with a few of them later, and the leader over there will investigate again. From now on, there will be someone above them who will be able to register in this circle.
Fang Cheng knew about Dark Horse and had been there before with a few friends.
It’s just that they don’t have the money, and they don’t have the courage.No one there took them seriously.
Although it is no longer in the past, I can still hear something about Dark Horse from time to time.For example, so-and-so went there and became rich overnight, or so-and-so lost his family’s house, or someone owed money and tried to run away but had his hand cut off.For example, if you need a loan, you go to Dark Horse, or there are some black and white stories.
In short, the dark horse was something truly dangerous in the dark side of their city. It had nothing to do with simple idle gangsters like Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng never thought they could deal with these people.
Now he has become their boss?
It turns out that this is what Viagra announced.
Except for Li Pin, everyone else’s expressions changed a little.
Some of the faces were nervous and scared, while others were a bit excited and excited.
But Fang Cheng didn’t see any obvious resistance on the faces of his brothers.
The fat man asked in a low voice: “Weige, then, we went to Dark Horse, what should we do, what can we do?”
Li Pin stood up first and answered for Brother Wei: “Whatever we have been doing recently, we will do in the future. We just need to be more professional. We can’t be like now, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.”
Wei Ge also smiled and said: “Don’t worry, everyone, the benefits will only be more. But you have to take greater risks. You have to think clearly. I don’t force it. If you don’t want to, just say quit. There are many people here begging to join. It’s just that I see your friendship with me in the past, so I will take a few of you first. If you don’t join, I won’t blame him. Don’t look at the rest of us getting ahead. I will just be jealous.”
The words “get ahead” made several people’s expressions change. This temptation obviously tempted some people. Xiaowei was the first to raise his hand: “Weige, I’ll join.”
Fang Cheng sighed inwardly, knowing that Xiaowei, like him, had not found a serious job in the past few years.
But he is not like Fang Cheng who can feed the whole family by himself. Xiaowei lives at home and has to be supported by his parents. Although he has better food and drink than Fang Cheng, he still has an older brother at home.
His brother had just gotten married recently, and his sister-in-law found out that her parents-in-law had an idle and unemployed brother-in-law at home. She definitely didn’t like him very much and made some harsh remarks from time to time.
Now that he had such an opportunity, Fang Cheng was not surprised that Xiaowei was the first to raise his hand.
With this beginning, everyone else agreed one by one.
The last few people’s eyes were focused on Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng smiled coquettishly: “Brother Wei, I have to think about this.”
The fat man said dissatisfied: “What’s there to think about? This is a rare opportunity. Chengzi, you don’t want to live a life where you have one meal every day and no one looks down on you.”
Li Pin answered: “Yes, all your relatives used to ride on your head and bully you. When you come forward, which one of them would dare to do this to you?”
Fang Cheng wondered if it wouldn’t be easy to have a good meal before the next. He could just go out and find a job instead of going to work for Dark Horse.If you can’t see the bloody dangers and just think about getting developed, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
But he also knew that although he could not agree, he could not persuade these brothers not to agree either.
He knew these friends of his very well, and they all got along well with each other. They were all loyal, but none of them had a completely conscientious character. Everyone had some character flaws, some were impulsive and extreme, and some were sensitive and suspicious. However, these people had not always been very courageous, and they had not done anything too outrageous in so many years.
But now that there was such an opportunity, the hearts of these people began to waver.
Fang Cheng is not surprised that Wei Ge can incite them. None of them have a personality accepted by the mainstream. They have always existed as marginalized people. Now that they have the so-called opportunity to get ahead, they will definitely join Wei Ge. It can be seen from what happened in the past few days.
He wanted to persuade these people to think about it, but he knew that it would be useless if he tried to persuade them. Instead, he would be laughed at as a coward.If it was serious, several people would even be suspicious of him.
This is what his so-called friends are like. Fang Cheng remembers how good they are and knows what kind of people these people are.
Fang Cheng coughed a few times and bravely said under the gaze of several people: “Brother Wei, I am a timid person and my skills are not very good. I am really afraid that I will not be able to do this and I will embarrass you, so I will not participate.”
Wei Ge sneered and seemed not surprised: “This…Chengzi, are you really too timid to participate, or do you have other ideas? You don’t have any objections to me, right?”
Fang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and lit another cigarette for Wei Ge: “Wei Ge, how dare I have an opinion against you? I’m really timid and don’t want to see big scenes. In such a big place like the Black Horse, I slapped my calves as soon as I went there and couldn’t do anything. If I wet my pants in fear, wouldn’t it be an embarrassment to you? So I really want to slap myself. What a waste of me!”
Wei Ge didn’t care at all whether Fang Cheng participated or not. If he didn’t, he would be less of an eyesore. After all, he always felt that Fang Cheng was different from others, and he had always disliked Fang Cheng.
But he couldn’t just say that he wouldn’t take Fang Cheng with him. Fang Cheng had been inseparable with these people before.If he suddenly said that he would not take Fang Cheng with him, those people must have complained a lot.
But if Fang Cheng directly said that he would not participate, it would also make him feel embarrassed.
Now that Fang Cheng was begging for mercy in a low voice, he still felt that Fang Cheng was ignorant and still wanted to make things difficult for Fang Cheng.
“Chengzi. You are the only one among these people who is unwilling to follow me. What do you want me to think?”
Fang Cheng heard Wei Ge’s tone and understood the attitudes of others.Wei Ge brought a few people to taste the sweetness. It was clear which way their hearts were leaning, and everyone’s preference could also be seen from the choices they made just now.I know that parting ways will be a matter of time, but I still feel a little uncomfortable.He sighed in his heart: “Brother Wei, you have the ability and are willing to lead our brothers to prosper. I really thank you! I treat you as a big brother! But I am really timid and I really can’t do it. Otherwise, you see, when I write you an IOU, I treat it like inviting you to drink.”
The fat man couldn’t bear it and shouted: “Chengzi, you…”
Fang Cheng waved his hand: “If you have anything to ask me for help, as long as I can do it, I will do it.”
After playing with several people for so many years, the relationship is not fake. Although they are not close friends, they still go out of their way for each other.After all, in the current situation, there is no point in talking nonsense.
Wei Ge finally looked him in the eyes, turned around and smiled at Li Pin: “Look, I told you that his heart was not with me, but you still didn’t believe it, and you still persuaded me to take him. Now that he has said that he is not willing, you should have nothing to say.”
Li Pin’s face was speechless. He looked at Fang Cheng, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.
Fang Cheng just stared at Wei Ge.
Wei Ge took a puff of cigarette: “I’m not trying to embarrass you. I won’t stop you if you want to leave, but apart from the IOU, I also need to see how sincere you are. Otherwise, I don’t believe you will tell us about us. I also have to protect my brothers, right?”
This has clearly divided the relationship.
Fang Cheng smiled, first took a pen and paper from the boss next to him, wrote an IOU worth 10,000 yuan, and handed it to Wei Ge.
Wei Ge raised his eyebrows, quite satisfied with this figure: “An IOU is not enough, just taking money is not sincere enough.”
Fang Cheng breathed out, took a bottle of beer from the side, and controlled the force. The next second, the bottle in his hand hit his head with a “bang”. This was not the first time he heard the sound of a glass bottle exploding on his head at close range.But this is the first time to do it myself.
Fang Cheng’s eyes were filled with stars, and he was so dizzy that he could hardly stand still.He felt a stream of warm liquid flowing down his scalp and across his cheeks.
The scene seen with one eye was blood red.
“Chengzi!” Several people shouted in shock.
“Brother Wei.” Fang Cheng ignored those people and nodded to Brother Wei: “Then I’ll leave first, so as not to delay your business.”
Wei Ge was also frightened by his ruthlessness to strike at the first word. He looked at the anxious faces of others and knew that if he was more aggressive, he would arouse the resentment of others. He said: “Okay, let’s do this first. If you give me this money within three months, we will pay it back. If it is not paid after the time, the interest will start to be calculated on the money.”
Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked away swaying.The few people behind stopped calling him. He was a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was destined.
He had dealt a cruel blow. After the pain passed, he only felt dizzy. Now he just gritted his teeth to hold back from passing out.
After leaving the billiards hall, the red color began to blur in front of his eyes, and he knew that he must now look hideous with blood on his head.
Because he obviously saw that passers-by were so frightened by him that no one dared to approach him.
Fang Cheng remembered that there was a small clinic nearby. He walked there holding on for breath, lay down on the bed, and told the nurse: “Help me take care of the wound.” After that, he lost consciousness.
