Chapter 236 Minimum alms

G City is an important commercial city in the south of the country. It is located in the impact delta area where the river enters the sea and is the largest coastal port in the country. Due to the preferential policies of the country in the early years, it became one of the first cities in the country to become rich.

The prosperity of G City is very famous not only in the Dynasty, but also in the whole world. New York in the United States, London in the United Kingdom, Switzerland in Europe, etc., it is also known as one of the four major financial centers in the world. Compared with the capital Yanjing, there is less political and cultural atmosphere here, but the commercial atmosphere is stronger and more international. Some short-sighted indigenous people in G City are often blindly proud of this. They call themselves "city people" and call people from other areas "countrymen". This kind of forgetfulness is very despised and is often protested and despised by outsiders and local conscientious citizens.

Almost as famous as the prosperity of commerce is the chaos of social order in G City. Money has achieved the glory of the city, but it has also brought continuous turbulence to the city. Although the local police have tried their best to sweep and crack down, gangsters, prostitutes, thieves, thieves, and social organizations are still densely distributed in every corner of the city like spider webs. In this city, moral corruption, loss of innocence, cheating and so on are not shameful things. The only shame is poverty.

Here, money is the only sign that measures a person. A person without money will be discriminated against wherever he goes. Including when buying deep-fried dough sticks and small steamed buns on the street in the morning, a simple-dressed man and a well-dressed person will be treated differently by the breakfast stall owner.

Qi Yue and others don't know anything about the only "money" trend of G city, except for the shabby Chen who have been here for a period of time. Although the money worshipism in H City and Yanjing is also very popular, compared with G City, it is undoubtedly a "little witch". Qi Yue and others did not appreciate it, so when they got off the train, some people were humiliated because of this.

This is the thing.

At about six or seven o'clock in the morning, Qi Yue and others arrived at the railway station in G. When the group hurriedly got off the train, the sky was still gray. At Gu Liang's suggestion, the group casually chose an open-air noodle restaurant and began to have breakfast. At this moment, a unkempt beggar came over with a broken bowl.

The beggar looks very pitiful. The clothes are full of patches, and there are big holes followed by small holes. His face was gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also like being hit by frost. He picked a corner, put his broken bowl on the ground, and then sat on the ground.

"Oh, what a pity!" When Zhang Dahai saw the beggar, he sighed and said, "If there are still old and young people in his family, he must be starving!" These days, prices are soaring and it is difficult to find a job. The life of the people at the bottom is really hard..."

Zhang Dahai said very emotionally. Obviously, he thought of his previous experience, so he felt sad with empathy. So Zhang Dahai stood up from the table and stepped forward to throw a few coins into the beggar's broken bowl.

"Brother, take it and buy a steamed bun to nibble!" Zhang Dahai bent down, gently patted the beggar on the shoulder, and said with concern.

"Fight you!" The beggar actually raised his head and stared at Zhang Dahai, then grabbed the coin in the broken bowl, threw it at Zhang Dahai's door, and said, "Poor man, take your coins and roll!" Don't pretend to be a philanthropist if you don't have money..."

Zhang Dahai thought that the beggar wanted face, so he refused to accept his charity. So Zhang Dahai bent down to pick up the coin that fell on the ground and threw it into the beggar's broken bowl again. Brother, this is not a charity, but money for your steamed buns!" Zhang Dahai said again in a simple tone.

The beggar glanced at Zhang Dahai and said impatiently, "What a country bumpkin! Although I'm a beggar, I don't accept money at first sight! The minimum charity is five yuan, otherwise don't throw it in and occupy my bowl! ......”

Zhang Dahai was stunned and didn't know what to say. This is the first time he has seen a beggar refuses to accept charity from others, and it is also the first time he has heard that beggars have any other "minimum charity fee"!

is still shabby and experienced. He stepped forward, pulled Zhang Dahai back and said, "Hai, this is G city, not our H city. No matter what you do, not to mention no money, if you have less money, you will be looked down upon! Well, just like the beggar just now, he is still a person who hates the poor and loves the rich! So, if you encounter a similar situation in the future, try not to care about it, otherwise you will add obstacles to yourself..."

Zhang Dahai has just experienced it, so he is quite touched by the rag Chen's words. So he stopped talking and quietly returned to his seat and bowed his head to eat noodles.

However, Li Deshuai, who was sitting opposite, felt a little unhappy. Although Zhang Dahai and Li Deshuai usually do not have a deep friendship, they are at least brothers of the "Overlord Gate". Now Zhang Dahai has been despised by a little beggar. How can this not make him angry?

Without saying a word, Li Deshuai took out a disposable wooden chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the table and threw it out like a dart. The wooden chopsticks were like arrows off the string, hitting the beggar's left face quickly and accurately.

"Beautiful! Red hair, it's really yours!" Gu Liang excitedly gave Li Deshuai a thumbs up and said admiringly.

The beggar was hit in the face by the chopsticks thrown by Li Deshuai and was furious for a moment. He jumped up, pointed to Li Deshuai and others, and shouted in a standard local dialect: "Dead country bumpkin, don't think you can bully me with so many people! Don't go. Wait for me..."

The beggar straightened his back and scolded **. After scolding, he took out a whistle from his waist and blew very hard. Li Deshuai and others ignored him and continued to eat the noodles in the bowl one by one.

Suddenly, the thin Zhu En pushed the bowls and chopsticks in front of him to the middle of the table and said, "It's not good! There seems to be something wrong..."

Zhu En used to be a subordinate of shabby Chen, so shabby Chen knows him very well. Hearing him shout "not good", the shabby Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He looked at Zhu En and said, "Kid, what's going on? Don't be shocked. It will scare people to death..."

Zhu En pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while before nodding and saying affirming, "If I hear correctly, at least 30 beggars are coming this way now!"
