Chapter 187 The Hermit in the Shop
Jichun City, in a small dumpling restaurant in Nanguan District.
A chubby little boss was listening to the news with a radio. These days, radios were pretty big, especially the kind that were relatively compact and could be held in the hand and put against the ear.
In front of him, there was a tall waiter peeling garlic for the customers.Northeastern people usually eat dumplings with garlic, so this waiter can be regarded as the earliest garlic-pickling girl.
The young boss's eyes fell on the waiter from time to time, and he seemed to have some special thoughts about her.
But don't blame the little boss for thinking so. After all, this waiter is so pretty and speaks nicely. When he walks, he looks like a soft willow supporting the wind, which makes people feel itchy in their hearts.
It's just that the little boss just took a look. He had the heart but not the courage. After all, the boss's wife was also in the store. All the financial power of the little boss's family was given to the boss's wife. In exchange for it, he could have some leisure time and listen to the radio. Occasionally drink a little wine and eat overcooked dumplings.
This is really dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the better.There really is no one else living this kind of life.
The waiter seemed to be used to the boss's gaze. She knew that he was just feasting his eyes, so she didn't deliberately dodge it. She just lowered her head and peeled the garlic. Her slender fingers were peeling off the garlic skin and removing the white garlic grains. Take them out, pile them together, and soon you will peel a lot of them.
Thinking that the amount for this day should be enough, she put the garlic into an enamel basin, and then looked at the little boss as if asking for instructions: "It's almost done. Do you want to make dumplings?"
Normally, the little boss would reluctantly praise her for her white skin, and then say as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, it's time to open the door to welcome customers."
Only this time, the little boss looked at the girl up and down. After looking at her for many times, he suddenly asked: "Xiaojuan, have you been here for more than half a year?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"You came with Da Zhuang and have been working in my store for more than half a year, all for free. I can't stand it anymore. How about I introduce you to a job?"
"Work? Aren't I doing a good job here? Boss, are you trying to drive me away?"
"That's not what I mean. I mean, I can't bear to take advantage of you anymore, so I plan to ask your opinion and introduce you to a place to work, so that you two can make money." We’re going home to hold a happy event, right?”
The girl named Xiaojuan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She patted her proud chest and said, "I thought you wouldn't let me work here. In fact, Da Zhuang makes a lot of money in the kitchen, and you guys They took us in and gave us food and accommodation here. I just wanted to work here for a while, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem to just sit around at home all day. Thank you boss for your concern. I feel happy working here without any payment. I’d also like to continue working here.”
The young boss touched his chin and smiled: "That's it. Then I'll tell my wife later that I'll give you some salary. We are in a new society and we can't let others be bossed around like maids. "
After he finished speaking, Shi Shiran went out.
Xiaojuan looked at his leaving figure and felt a little strange. She was not in a hurry to make dumplings, but came to the back kitchen and knocked on the door. A strong man appeared from behind the window glass of the back kitchen. Asked: "What's wrong?"
"I feel something is wrong with Mei Liangxing. Has he discovered our identities?"
"No, we have changed our names and appearance now. Can he find us?"
"Then he said a lot to me today, which made me feel unsure."
"Are you too worried? This guy Mei Liangxing has been harboring his thoughts about you for so long. It's normal for him to want to get close to you again."
"Why do I always have a feeling of disobedience? Is it any wonder that I have been frightened for a long time and have become a little nervous?"
"Miss, I think you are worrying too much. If Mei Liangxing can find us, then those killers from the Cai Zi Sect will definitely be able to find us."
"I hope so. I'm going to make dumplings. You should be smarter. If someone wants to trick you into something, just pretend to be deaf and dumb."
……
At the Jichun City Public Security Bureau, the young boss Mei Liangxing was sitting uneasily in front of Xu Shan.
"Officer, the situation is like this, the problem is like this, I have provided it to you, and the bonus..."
He rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
"Don't worry, if we are sure that those two are the fugitives we are looking for, you will definitely need the money." Xu Shan assured.
"That's it, that's it, how about you take people to catch them now."
"What are you arresting?" Xu Shan scolded, "If we make such a loud noise and let them notice it, and if we arrest the wrong person, wouldn't it be in vain for our police to send out so many people? Let's do this, I Take two people with you and go to your dumpling restaurant to eat dumplings and take a look."
"what?"
"Ah what? Do you think you can get paid as long as you report it? Then the money is too good to make." Xu Shan mocked the little boss and kicked him out.
After the little boss left, Niu Yonggui asked Xu Shan: "Do you think the information provided by this guy is reliable?"
"We have to verify whether it is reliable or not, but this little boss is really greedy. He obviously targeted his own waiter. As a result, there was a man in his family, and he didn't dare to cause trouble, so he had to hide secretly. Waiwai behind his back, probably because he showed off to others several times, and when they didn't respond to his comments, he got angry and wanted to report them. This kind of person has a very dark mentality."
"Waiwai? What do you mean?"
"This is a common wording habit. Don't take it seriously. I will take Bao Longxing and Su Jing to the dumpling restaurant in a while. Team Niu, you guys stay in the bureau and wait for others to come over and provide clues. Anyway, the procedure is as before The same procedure, just confirm it after receiving the clues."
After finishing speaking, Xu Shan took Su Jing and Bao Laohei to this small dumpling restaurant in Nanguan District. They did not go directly, but lingered outside for a while, and then walked into the dumpling restaurant when they saw that it was almost time for dinner. pavilion.
Seeing a guest coming, the waiter Xiaojuan hurriedly greeted him.
Xu Shan took a look at the waiter. His height matched that of Chu Tianshu, but his appearance was different.He secretly judged that Mei Liangxing was probably looking for trouble and deliberately reported a waiter whom he liked but couldn't get.
Being looked at by Xu Shan, Xiaojuan seemed a little shy. She lowered her head and said softly: "What do you three want to eat? Our store has dumplings and stir-fried vegetables. The dumplings have various fillings. You can basically cook stir-fries..."
The sound was so pleasant that it made Xu Shan's bones tingle.
"Really? Then I have to take a good look. By the way, do you have any recommendations?"
"If you want to eat dumplings, I think you can eat the ones stuffed with cabbage. It seems you are from the south. Southerners are very particular about not eating after the season. For spring leeks and autumn rice, it's better to eat the ones stuffed with cabbage."
She spoke elegantly and sounded so elegant.
Xu Shan's heart skipped a beat.
It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? The first one to provide clues could take away the 1 yuan reward?
But it's obvious that this appearance doesn't match the one in the photo.
Isn't it because plastic surgery technology is available in this era?Impossible. Maybe plastic surgery technology was available abroad in this era, but in China, it took at least the mid-to-late 90s for the first batch of people to try it.
However, Xu Shan decided to test her a few more words. He remained calm and said in an appreciative tone: "This girl is so nice to talk to. She looks like someone who has read many books. It just so happens that I am short of a secretary, otherwise , how about you being my secretary?"
However, Xiaojuan frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Shan. She didn't see the dangerous aura of Caizimen from Xu Shan, so she thought that her beauty attracted an ordinary southern guest. She opened her red lips lightly and said softly. He smiled and said: "Thank you for the boss's love, but the little girl already has a good match, and it's hard to leave her homeland, so I won't be sensitive about it."
Another set of words should match the way this Chu Tianshu spoke. Xu Shan had more doubts and more confusion in his heart, so he decided to give this Xiaojuan a try further.
