"Soy juice fritters, morning tea snacks!"
At the door of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, there was a cart full of various snacks for breakfast, and the young guy was shouting hard.
"Two fried dough sticks, well, a bowl of soy sauce." In the past, people who were preparing for work would stop from time to time to buy a breakfast, and the mornings in Chinatown were lively and orderly.
This kind of situation is rare even in China, and if someone who lived in China in the early years came here, they would think they had come to the old BJ decades ago.
However, unlike in the past, many shops in Chinatown have been cleaned, and some places have even been painted, which usually only happens during the Chinese New Year.
And in addition to the familiar faces that often appeared in Chinatown in the past, there were also many new faces and police cars here, and in addition to the lively appearance, there was a hint of tension.
"Tom, how are you over there? Is there anything wrong?" In a police car, a somewhat immature-looking policeman was looking at the people walking outside the car.
"Richardson, I'm very good here, they are all Chinese, what are they going to do?" In a Chinese restaurant, a white man drinking soy juice replied in a low voice.
"Don't worry about so much, what kind of party are these Chinese people having, they don't dare to mess around!"
He has been working as an errand boy in San Francisco for more than 30 years, so naturally there are many places to inquire about the news, and he is not worried about the situation in front of him at all.
On this ordinary morning, the police in San Francisco, USA, were like a great enemy, all their vacations were canceled, and countless police officers in police uniforms or plain clothes shuttled through Chinatown.
For Hongmen, these police officers can be said to be afraid and hateful, and the tight internal organization of Hongmen has made them like mice biting turtles for nearly a century, and they have no way to speak.
Although there is a desire to eradicate the largest Chinese gang in the United States, after a century of development and penetration, Hongmen has already spread to all aspects of the city of San Francisco.
As early as ten years ago, Hongmen began to consciously develop into the political arena, and the number of high-ranking people in the United States who appeared among the Chinese could more or less find the shadow of Hongmen behind them.
In this case, the United States, including the San Francisco government, has acquiesced to the existence of Hongmen, of course, on the list of the U.S. government, Hongmen still belongs to that kind of unstable factor.
"Big brother, these notes are standing guard again."
In the lively streets of Chinatown, in addition to those American police, there are many strong men.
"What's so rare? We can meet every few years, and they all cheer me up, and be careful of the Vietnamese gang and the miscellaneous people in Mexico."
In fact, in San Francisco, gangsters and police have a tacit understanding with each other, and the more it is like today, the less there will be conflicts.
"Big brother, I heard that the elder of the "big" generation has lived for more than a hundred years and looks like a fairy, but...... But he's so old, why do he still want to join Hongmen?"
In the past few days, things about Ye Tian have also been rumored within Hongmen, and many Hongmen disciples can't even figure out how old Ye Tian is, so they subconsciously link Ye Tian's age and seniority.
"You know a fart, the one who is more than a hundred years old is Ye Ye's master, our boss in the early years of Hongmen, do you know Du Yuesheng? It was Du Yuesheng back then, and when he saw Master Ye's master, he had to kowtow and salute!"
The middle-aged man took a bite of his little brother angrily, he could come into contact with a few real bosses, and the source of this news was naturally more real.
The scale of the opening of the incense hall in Hongmen this time was even better than the gathering in '92.
There were more than a hundred big guys from all over the world who came to participate in Ye Tian's initiation ceremony, plus his entourage bodyguards, there were as many as a thousand people.
So many people who are registered in relevant departments in the United States suddenly appeared here, and the local government couldn't help but be nervous, and they even arranged mobile units on the periphery to deal with emergencies.
On the way into the core area of Hongmen, various flags were planted to welcome the arrival of bigwigs from all walks of life.
Luxury cars drove in from the back of Chinatown, and from time to time people opened their windows and waved to the police taking pictures outside.
However, these people did not commit any crimes in the United States, and they did not have any criminal records in the United States.

Hongmen Incense Hall, a place that used to be used only for sacrifices or to recruit disciples, is cleaned today.
In the courtyard covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters outside the incense hall, hundreds of chairs are neatly arranged, and each chair has a small piece of paper with a name written on it to distinguish the number of seats.
Since the incense hall was opened only for Ye Tian alone, and hundreds of bigwigs from all over the world watched the ceremony, the incense hall was also set up outside the door, on a huge offering table, with dozens of tablets enshrined.
In the highest and most conspicuous position are the ancestors of Hongmen: Hong Ying, Fu Qingzhu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Lizhou, and Wang Fuzhi, all of whom were anti-Qing leaders in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
the second row is Wenzong Shi Kefa, Wuzong Zheng Chenggong, Xuanzong Chen Jinnan, Dazong Wan Yunlong, and Weizong Su Hongguang.
There are also the first five ancestors: Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, Li Shikai and others, the images of these people have appeared in a film and television work not long ago.
In addition, these are also the tablets of the Hongmen ancestors such as the Fifth Patriarch, the Later Fifth Patriarch, the Five Righteousness, the Five Masters, the Three Heroes, and the Second Master, which are enshrined on the offering table in turn.
In front of these tablets, there are also various sacrificial cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, but there are no pigs, this is because Hongmen was founded to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was the Zhu family dynasty, so it was naturally taboo.
As time went by, the bigwigs from all over the world who came to participate in the incense hall ceremony entered the courtyard and sat in their seats under the leadership of the Hongmen disciples wearing short clothes.
The first big guys to enter the courtyard were all people from all over the world who watched the ceremony, and the people from the Hongmen Main Hall only appeared at the gate of the courtyard after they entered.
"The eighth master of the virtuous brand has arrived!"
"Silver Phoenix Seventh Sister has arrived!"
"The sixth master of the flower official has arrived!"
"The fifth master of the steward has arrived!"
"Fourth Sister Jinfeng has arrived!"
"The third master of the house has arrived!"
"The second master of the sage has arrived!"
"Deputy Uncle Xing is here!"
With a series of shouts, eight men and women of different ages walked into the courtyard, this is the person in charge of the eight halls outside Hongmen, and everyone is responsible for a bunch of things.
For example, the deputy uncle is in charge of leading the troops in battle, and the second master of the sage is the role of a military advisor, specializing in giving advice to the uncle.
After these outer hall bosses took their seats, the shouts rang out again, this time it was the Hongmen inner hall boss who came in, and the first name to be called in was the Thunder Tiger of the Punishment Hall.
Similar to what is performed on TV, this highest status always has to be the last to appear, and the punishment hall is ranked last in the eight halls in Hongmen, so it is naturally the first to appear.
Lei Hu's face was a little ugly, followed by Peng Wenguang, and after coming in, he bowed his hands absent-mindedly and greeted those who had already been seated, walked to his seat and sat down.
The second person to come in was the auditorium master, also known as the Shangshu uncle, and the three bosses behind him were the hall, the hall, and the accompanying hall.
As soon as he entered the yard, the bigwigs from all over the world stood up and greeted him, many of them went out from the main hall, and they were still thinking about the benefits of the old dragon head.
"Uncle Zhongtang is here!"
Behind Du Fei was also Ye Tian's old acquaintance, Tang Wenyuan on crutches, and as soon as he entered the yard, the entire yard suddenly boiled.
The middle hall is also called the alliance certificate, which is the oath person when the incense hall is opened, and it is usually Hongmen Keqing who holds this position.
Tang Wenyuan is the leader of the Chinese business community and is inextricably linked with Hongmen, and at the Hongmen Friendship Conference in '92, he was elected as the uncle of the central hall.
Due to Tang Wenyuan's special identity and strong financial resources, more than half of the Hongmen bosses from all over the world here have received his favor, so Tang Wenyuan was able to enter the door, and there were greetings everywhere.
"Please invite the master of the temple!" As Tang Wenyuan took his seat, a shout from behind silenced the audience, and they all turned their heads to look at the courtyard gate.
The uncle of the temple is also the incense master, the chief priest of the incense hall, who has a high status in the gang but has no real power, but this incense master is different, because he is concurrently served by the dragon head.
But because of this, everyone wants to know if the current Hongmen leader, who has been bedridden for more than three years, can appear at this incense hall ceremony?
With the shout, a wheelchair appeared at the door of the yard, and on the wheelchair sat a gray-haired old man, with a thick blanket covering his legs on this hot day.
"It's the president!"
"The dragon head, it's the dragon head!"
"Welcome to the leader!"
The appearance of this person made the entire Xiangtang venue boil again, and everyone spontaneously stood up and applauded.
Although he has been ignoring things in the gang for a long time, this president is also the one who followed Du Fei's father to fight the world, and his reputation is still higher than that of Lei Zhenyue.
"What a heroic stranger, a beauty is late!" Ye Tian, who was standing outside the incense hall, looked at the old man who entered the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
