Yibai Xiaobai thought to himself and connected Ah Hua Po's phone.

"Hey, Ah Hua Po, I have returned to Jianghai yesterday. After connecting the phone, Bai Xiaobai directly indicated that he was already in the store.

"Okay, are you free this afternoon? I'll look for you in your shop. ”

"Yes. Ah Hua Po, do you see the whole line at three o'clock? I'll be waiting for you in the restaurant. ”

"Okay, I'll see you then. ”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaobai got up, went back to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then went downstairs into the glass kitchen to cook a small wonton with fresh meat and a special golden butter sticks for breakfast.

It's already a quarter past ten, which is not early.

After eating and drinking, Bai Xiaobai went out and went to the largest EM supermarket away from Chaotianmen Street to buy things.

His family's food has not been replenished for five days, such as pure milk, bread, and fruits, etc., which can be properly bought for backup, and there are also some trivial daily necessities, which must also be replenished at one time to save trouble.

In EM, a big supermarket, Bai Xiaobai pushed a small cart, walked between the shelves, and was frantically sweeping all kinds of goods.

At the same time.

Xiaobai Restaurant's WeChat public account, in the previously released National Day Mid-Autumn Festival temporarily closed in the comment area, fans began to leave crazy messages.

"The latest grapevine, according to the owner of Wang Wangle's pet shop, Boss Bai went to pick up his pet dog last night, so the Xiaobai restaurant should be officially open today. ”

The owner of Wang Wangle's pet shop is a sister and a loyal customer of Xiaobai Restaurant, she undoubtedly revealed the news of Bai Xiaobai picking up Xiaohei in WeChat last night, and now it has spread in the comment area of the WeChat public account.

Immediately followed to review the comment.

"It's really fake, before Boss Bai closed down, he said that he would resume business on the afternoon of the 6th, and he would send a message, but there was no news this time, and it is estimated that Boss Bai hasn't had enough of it. ”

"I went to the Xiaobai Restaurant this morning to have a look, but the shutter was still closed, and there was no one in the middle, so Boss Bai shouldn't have come back yet." ”

"I remember that some diners have the phone number of Boss Bai, who will make a call, ask Boss Bai, ask for a letter, when will his store officially open, it's been five days, I don't think about tea and dinner, my daughter-in-law said that I lost five or six pounds. ”

……

Talking frantically in the comment area of the WeChat public account, Bai Xiaobai didn't know that when he was scanning the goods, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

I thought it was a call from Ah Hua Po.

As a result, I picked up my phone and looked at it.

Not.

It was Lan Weihao's call.

"Hey, little wolf, what's the matter?" Bai Xiaobai asked very enthusiastically after answering the phone.

"Brother Xiaobai, when will your store open, the friends of the WeChat public account are very anxious, and they want me to ask for a letter, in fact, I am also very anxious, especially thinking about the royal rouge rice in your store. ”

Lan Weihao's words surprised Bai Xiaobai a little.

Although there are a lot of regular customers in the store, I personally called to ask about the business hours, and Lan Weihao was the only one.

"Brother Little Wolf, I'm shopping in the supermarket now, and I have something to do at noon, so I can't open it. It is tentatively scheduled to officially open at half past five tonight. ”

Lan Weihao said happily on the other end of the phone, "Well, then I'll go to your store for dinner in the evening." ”

"Good. See you in the reverse. ”

I hung up the phone, and immediately another call came in.

It's an unfamiliar number.

As soon as Bai Xiaobai connected, he was actually a diner who asked about business hours.

The key to this diner, Bai Xiaobai has no impression at all.

In short, the next few phone calls were all about business hours, which made Bai Xiaobai sweat.

There are even calls that have been flagged as advertising and harassment......

In view of the enthusiasm of the diners, the patient Bai Xiaobai had to open the WeChat public account and send a message while purchasing goods, stating that it was tentatively scheduled to open at half past five in the evening.

After purchasing the required items, Bai Xiaobai handled the free door-to-door delivery service at the EM counter as usual, and then left the supermarket empty-handed.

It was lunch time, Bai Xiaobai had lunch outside, and then returned to the store for a lunch break.

After the lunch break, it was already half past two, Bai Xiaobai changed into clean clothes, washed his face, tidied up his messy hair after the afternoon break, and then went downstairs to wait for Ah Hua Po.

When it was close to three o'clock, Ah Hua Po called.

Bai Xiaobai opened the roller shutter and saw Ah Hua Po standing outside the door.

Ah Hua Po is already very old, and she hasn't seen her for a few years, and the folds on her face are getting denser and denser, like dead tree bark, and even the thick powder putty can't hide the deep traces of time.

Although the gray hair is not dyed black, it is quite shiny.

The face is still the same as before, with a pair of large round gold wire glasses, quite literary.

Although her face is old, from her energetic eyebrows and eyes, you can still roughly imagine her delicate face when she was young.

Ah Hua Po was wearing an elegant old man dress with white flowers on a blue background, and she was wearing elegant black cloth platform shoes on her feet.

As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Little white cub, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It's true that I haven't seen it for a few years, and it's been a long time since anyone called Bai Xiaobai 'little white cub' in person.

Except for the deceased parents, the little white cub is called only Ah Hua Po called him that.

Bai Xiaobai immediately warmly beckoned Ah Hua Po to sit down, and then pulled down the small half of the roller shutter slightly, indicating that the store was temporarily closed.

Because Ah Hua Po brought her own mineral water, Bai Xiaobai didn't pour water for her.

After sitting down, Bai Xiaobai asked directly, "Ah Hua Po, I haven't seen you for a long time." Is there something special about looking for me this time?"

Ah Hua Po also doesn't like to beat around the bush, she went straight to the point to show her intentions:

"Little white cub, that's right. I'm going back to the United States with my daughter next month, and I probably won't go back to Jianghai in the future. I was thinking about selling my storefront, like asking you if you wanted it first. ”

The façade in Ah Hua Po's mouth is the restaurant that Wang Bald originally operated.

No wonder Wang Bald suddenly stopped opening a restaurant a month ago and went to Hengyuan Hotel to work as a chef, and Bai Xiaobai still felt that something was wrong at that time.

Now that Ah Hua Po has said it, some things are reasonable.

It should be that Ah Hua Po wanted to sell the façade next door, but Wang Bald couldn't afford it, so he didn't open another restaurant at all.

Maybe it's as simple as that.

But then again, Bai Xiaobai is a little confused about some things at the moment.

Although the location of Chaotianmen Street is not very good, but in first-tier cities, even if there is a façade on the street, it is completely possible to rely on the façade to collect rent, and it is easy to have a stable additional income in the second half of your life.

Very few people are willing to sell the façade outright.

There may be a special reason for this, or there may be something unspeakable about Ah Hua Po.

Although Ah Hua Po wanted to sell the façade and asked herself if she wanted to buy it, this made Bai Xiaobai feel a little surprised.

However, he didn't think too much, let alone ask the specific reason, but said very directly, "Ah Hua Po, tell the truth." If you offer the right price, I'll buy the façade next door to you. ”
