Chapter 554: Dry Goods Store Owner
At breakfast, I also determined the next job, and the clues were Yi Shi Lepanu Lane and Li Zhonglei.
The reason why I chose this job is that this location is in Chinatown, and the name is still Chinese, so it may be relatively simple to do without running too far and there is no communication barrier, and Han Fei may be able to learn more from it.
After eating, we looked for it, this old alley is very inconspicuous in Chinatown, if you haven't spent some time in Chinatown, you wouldn't even know that this old alley exists.
This old alley is very Hong Kong-like, the eyes are full of Chinese characters, and most of the goods sold by the shops on the street are Cantonese dry goods, spices such as pepper and chili powder, as well as items used by Chaoshan to worship gods and ancestors.
We inquired about one store after another, and soon found out about Li Zhonglei's store.
Li Zhonglei opened a Cantonese cured meat shop, and before he entered the store, he could smell a strong cured meat, in addition to selling Cantonese cured meat, the store also sold some dry goods, such as dried mushrooms, dried abalone and the like.
Seeing a customer enter the store, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties immediately greeted him with a smile, the man had only a few bald hairs left, but he was still carefully combed in the middle, wearing a pair of black glasses, wearing a short-sleeved undershirt printed with the Erawan Buddha and a pair of crumpled cropped pants, and a sandal slipper under his feet, it should be Li Zhonglei.
This Li Zhonglei is honest, it is a little similar to Luo Jiaying, the golden supporting actor in Hong Kong films back then, and it looks a little funny.
Li Zhonglei should have seen that we were Chinese, and when he came up, he asked what we needed to buy in Chinese with a strong taste of Guangpu, and I didn't bend around with him, and directly asked him if he needed to ask a mage.
Li Zhonglei was stunned, his eyes were dazed, as if he remembered something, but after coming back to his senses, he said that he didn't need it, and then went around to the back of the counter to cut dry goods and bag them, and no longer bothered us.
Han Fei asked me in a low voice what to do, I thought for a while and said: "Since it is Azanfeng's exam question, it means that Li Zhonglei definitely needs to invite a mage, and I can also see from his eyes that he needs it, but he has concerns, it doesn't matter, we are standing at the door, this street is not his, could it be that he still wants to chase us?"
Han Fei gave me a thumbs up and said with a strange smile, "Brother Luo, when did you become so dead-faced." ”
I smiled bitterly: "No way, the time given by Azanfeng is too tight, almost one job a day, how can I have time to do Tai Chi, I can only get straight to the point like this." ”
Han Fei and I came to the door and stood, standing at the door of the store on the left and right, like two door gods, although we didn't scare the customers, but the customers who wanted to come in felt weird, and would rather choose other houses to buy things, anyway, there is more than one store selling dried cured meat on this street, which one buys not to buy.
Li Zhonglei found that we were standing at the door and affecting his business, so he had to come out and say with an unhappy face: "Two brothers, I said that I don't need to invite a mage, what are you doing, it has affected my business, who are you, I shouldn't have a grudge against you, right?"
I said, "There is no hatred, but there is fate, since there is fate, ......." ”
Li Zhonglei reacted, took out his wallet, grabbed two baht with a face value of 100 and stuffed them to me and said: "It's fate, take it and take it, don't affect my business, the faces of the Chinese are all lost to you, and you actually ran to Thailand to cheat and cheat, thinking that you can be a mage by tattooing some ghosts and gods on your body?"
Han Fei was a little angry and said, "Boss Li, we kindly want to help you, but you treat us like beggars?"
Li Zhonglei frowned and said: "Am I wrong? You just walked into the store and asked me to invite a mage, isn't it? Saying that you are beggars is all for the sake of the face of the Chinese, you are worse than beggars, beggars ask for money at least to serve a bowl, or come openly, I hate you people who are abducted and deceived under the banner of mages, seeing that you are still quite young, and you don't do this kind of indiscriminate livelihood. ”
Han Fei was even more annoyed: "Hey, I said what's the matter with you, I need you to teach me, don't give me a ......." ”
I stretched out my hand to signal Han Fei to stop talking, and then politely saluted Li Zhonglei, and said: "Boss Li, what you said is right, maybe we came a little abruptly, but there is a reason for the incident I hope you understand, but some things can't be seen on the surface, I am full of tattoos and I am not necessarily a mage, but it is not necessarily not a mage, you just think we are liars, is it too arbitrary? Just like you wear a T-shirt printed with the Erawan Buddha may not be able to bless yourself, don't you say?"
Li Zhonglei softened his expression and asked, "Are you really a mage?"
I smiled and nodded, a little self-blame in my heart, I was really too reckless just now, I didn't think too much about doing things in a hurry, so that Li Zhonglei had a feeling of distrust, and now he has a hard time believing me, but this can't be blamed on him, if I am doing business here, suddenly someone ran in and said that the mage, to help me solve the problem, I will also have a question mark in my heart.
When I was thinking about how to make Li Zhonglei believe me, I suddenly found that there were many business cards pasted on the table where he cut and roasted dried meat, and one of them was actually Yu Lan's.
Li Zhonglei nodded and said: "Of course, the roast meat and dry goods in their tea restaurant are all purchased from me, and we have cooperated for many years and have a very good relationship, and we have become ......friends." ”
I answered: "It's a pity that Wan Shouyi got into a murder lawsuit, and in the end he had to close the business." ”
Li Zhonglei said suspiciously: "Do you know them?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, if Boss Li doesn't believe me, he can call Ms. Yu to confirm that the reason why his husband can come out safely is because of my help." ”
Li Zhonglei was surprised: "You said Lao Wan came out? This is impossible, he was sentenced by the Thai court for killing someone." ”
I said, "There are some things that they don't have to tell people about, right? Like if you have something secret in your house, do you tell people about it in a big way?"
Li Zhonglei was suspicious, took out his mobile phone and was about to call, I reminded: "Boss Li, you just confirm my identity, don't ask about privacy, lest Ms. Yu know that I said that he is a private matter and unhappy." ”
Li Zhonglei "um" and began to call, I was a little nervous, I hope this phone can be through, because this number is Thai, Yu Lan has returned to China for so long I don't know if she will keep this number, but I think it is very possible to keep the number, the couple has lived in Thailand for so many years, Thailand is the second hometown, there must be a lot of friends, not there is a saying that changing the phone number is changing friends, if Yu Lan still has a friend in Thailand, presumably will keep this number.
