Chapter 21 There are tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door!

"Puff!"

Xu Yingshi, who was beaten like a pig's head, spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"Uncle Lin, what you said is true? That bastard Li Mengyang is selling well again?"

"Young Master, please calm down and don't ruin your body."

"Stop the anger? Why can I calm down?! This bastard Li Mengyang, how could he do anything?!"

"Young Master, that kid is just a little lucky, he..."

"Uncle Lin! I, I..." Xu Yingshi was really angry and shivered.

"Young Master, let me leave this matter to the old slave. I will definitely want him to disappear in Amerika!" Uncle Lin was really doing his duty at this time, completely as if he was insulting his ministers to die.

"No!" But unexpectedly, Xu Yingshi still disagreed. Is he very kind?

"I don't want Li Mengyang to die, that's too cheap for him!"

If Li Mengyang could hear the expressions and words of the master and servant now, it would definitely feel very strange.

Damn, did I kill your parents or burst your ass? I didn’t do anything to you, right? Why do you hate me so much?

But human hatred is sometimes so inexplicable...

Now Li Mengyang naturally doesn’t know that he has been hated by others. He is still immersed in the great success of his new invention and tomato sauce.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! There are still ten bottles today!"

"I want it! 2 dollars!"

"I'll pay 2 and a half dollars!"

The tomato sauce is speechless. It is still auctioned, and many people still buy it. The fast food in Jinlin Pavilion is even more interesting. Various sets have been launched now. For example, 10 cents are now a pack of French fries and a small plate of tomato sauce. 30 cents are fried chicken sets and hamburger sets, staple foods, etc. Our Chinese restaurant is not good at making bread, so we just make steamed bun noodles, which are also very good.

The business is booming, and it even led several businesses near Jinlin Pavilion. This place is a neighborhood with more Chinese workers, which is the prototype of Chinatown later. Of course, now everyone still doesn’t know what they have. There are also several Chinese restaurants. Now everyone’s business is good. There are even many smart Chinese people who learn to buy fast food in Jinlin Pavilion, but they have to buy ketchup from Li Mengyang.

Business is booming and the whole street is booming. Is this the Belt and Road Initiative?

Just when Li Mengyang was auctioning tomato sauce, a few people came here to taste the fries with tomato sauce.

"Well~ It's really delicious. This taste is really good. Not to mention the sour and sweetness, the rusty taste in this potato seems to have the feeling of foie gras sauce. To be honest, I tasted the fried potato bar dish when I was in Europe. I thought it was not in the United States, but I didn't expect to eat it here, but now after adding this sauce, it feels completely different and very delicious."

"Neley, I'll just say, this shop is great, and you look at the guy who made it all, hahaha, you'll be surprised."

"Oh? That person? Let's take a look...ah? It turned out to be him?"

John Neilly Johnson was brought over to enjoy the food by his old friend William T. Wallace, and then he saw Li Mengyang, the guy who saved his life because of his successful defense.

"These Chinese workers are not good, but the food they cook is really first-class."

"But they are still damn Chinese workers!"

Johnson scolded the chef after eating the fries, because of his character...but this is not over yet.

Not long after, I saw someone set up a simple small platform opposite the Jinlin Pavilion Hotel. The guy Johnson wore a top hat and a tuxedo and appeared on the platform very elegantly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm a California lawmaker, John Nealy Johnson, and I want to say a few words to you here!"

You know, Johnson's voice is not small, and this guy is really well-known. After calling out, he immediately gathered around many people. Obviously, this was a small speech.

"Oh, it's Mr. Johnson, have you tried fried potatoes and tomato sauce, too?"

"Mr. Johnson, what are you going to say?"

Many people are making excuses, it's pretty good, Johnson said that.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! I've just had that fried potato and tomato sauce too! I must say, they're really fucking delicious!"

"Ah hehe!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone laughed. Obviously Johnson did not tell lies, but soon Johnson changed his mind.

"But! It's because it tastes delicious that I feel our crisis!"

"Crisis?" The citizens of San Francisco who were listening to the speech were a little confused. What kind of crisis could there be?

"Hey, look, that guy comes out to speak again."

"Can you say anything good?"

"I guess the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!"

The guys at Jinlin Pavilion also saw Johnson's speech at this time. Of course, the Huang family's father and daughter and Li Mengyang were among them.

"Brother Meng Yang." Huang Rong was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, let's just watch it." Li Mengyang knew in his heart that Johnson should have used so many people here to add some information to his election. Anyway, the Western politicians or guys on the treasure island do this in the future. He has seen too much and is really used to it.

Johnson just threw out a crisis, and now he is about to talk about what crisis it is.

"The Chinese workers have already snatched our jobs in many aspects, which has made our lives very sad! But now, they have opened shops again, especially in terms of diet. These guys seem to have natural magic, and they can make the food very delicious! So, people! Do you think our restaurants and hotels can compete with these Chinese workers' shops?!"

Crisis is indeed a crisis!

"cannot!"

"Damn it, why didn't I expect it!"

"Yes, these Chinese workers are too much. Do they still want to snatch our tongues and stomachs?!"

Sure enough, sometimes it is really too simple to stir people's emotions. Maybe Johnson doesn't understand the theory here, but he is definitely a master of the practical school.

"So! This is our crisis! Our big crisis! Gentlemen! Think about it again, if our shops cannot compete with Chinese workers, then our shops will go bankrupt, and the store closure will leave many people unemployed. What can those unemployed people do? They may go to hunt for gold, but they may go back to do bad things, rob, or kill people!"

Johnson's words were like a knife, stabbing the Chinese workers' group with one knife!

"Bastard! Chinese workers are all a bunch of bastards!"

"Damn Chinese! What should we do?"

"Mr. Johnson, but we can't compete with these Chinese workers!"

Very good, very good. These people who listened to the speech have regarded Johnson as the savior. Johnson felt very satisfied. What should he do?

"Gentlemen! I promise here that if I were elected as governor of California, then I would implement the bill and I would impose heavy taxes on the shops opened by these Chinese! Use heavy taxes to prevent these guys from making our money. In this way, their store costs will be high and our stores can survive, and this will likely cause the Chinese stores to go bankrupt. In that case, the crisis will be resolved, isn't it?"

Sure enough, it's such a great idea!

I can't compete with you, okay, so let's set your conditions differently. We have EASY difficulties here, and you have HARDs there. Isn't this a solution? How good, right?

As for fairness, that's all bullshit. What's fair? Fairplay isn't it just a matter of my words?

If you can't compete with others, why don't you look for the reason from yourself? Why do you look for the reason from yourself? If I can't compete with you, it's all your fault. That's it, it's certain!

This is the logic in Johnson's words. It sounds like a gangster's truth, a bastard's truth, a robber's truth, but these truths...

"marvelous!"

"I will definitely support Mr. Johnson!"

"Hahaha, right! You should deal with these bastards like this!"

Generally speaking, you are a bastard, and you can see that everyone is a bastard.

"What did that guy say? Why are those foreigners so happy?"

"Yes, what are you doing?"

Some Chinese workers in Jinlin Pavilion are not good at English and cannot understand. Huang San understood it, but he just felt that this matter would not be the case.

"Brother Meng Yang." However, Huang Rong understood clearly. Her eyes were asking her brother Meng Yang if there was any solution.

"Girl, it's okay, believe me." Li Mengyang has a solution, that's it to do it with them!

Li Mengyang is very clear that before the Chinese Exclusion Act was introduced, there were many discriminatory bills in California. But now Governor Bigler has also enacted a discriminatory bill, but it is not so crazy. Therefore, the bill Johnson is talking about now will definitely come out in the future, and it is just a matter of time.

However, in such an occasion, there is no need to say anything more. It is more important to accumulate strength now.

"Is there anyone who bids for today's tomato sauce?!"

"Yes! I'll pay 4 dollars!"

"Is there anyone else?"

“$4 per dollar!”

“Dollar 4 twice!”

"Dollar 4 three times! Deal!"

Yes, you will give your speech, and our business will be done as expected...
