Chapter 173: Noodle Shop
"It's only five hundred for such a big piece, and it's too cheap, did she deliberately make the price cheap because she saw that you were handsome and extraordinary?" After the girl walked away, Lu Ci quipped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"If that's the case, I really have the potential to be a little white face, why don't I find a female vendor to test it later?" Yun Li took a glove, broke a piece of golden **, and sent it to Lu Ci's mouth, and laughed at himself.
"Yo, you said you were fat and you were still panting." Lu Ci sarcastically ate it, then ate the golden flesh into his mouth, showing a satisfied expression, and Yunli also broke off a piece and put it in his mouth to eat deliciously.
Jackfruit flesh is soft, chewy and good, the taste is sweet and glutinous and refreshing, it is indeed a treasure in the fruit, it has great planting value, its fruit trees are tall and straight, some places even use them to make green sightseeing trees, just to plant fruit trees and bear fruit, it is not a matter of one or two years, but for Yunli, this is not a problem at all.
The jackfruit sold by this girl tastes very good, and it is very cheap, they say five hundred, naturally not RMB, but five hundred kyats, and it is less than three yuan when converted, and it is not false to be able to buy such a large piece of jackfruit, it is true that it is good quality and low price, if it is left in China, it must cost several times the price to buy, and the quality is not necessarily as good as this.
"Don't lose the pit, you can eat it after cooking, the taste is very good, no worse than chestnuts, I'll find a place to cook it for you to taste at noon." After eating another piece of jackfruit sent by Yunli, Lu Ci commanded.
Yun Li was curious after hearing this: "It turns out that this fruit core can still be eaten, I didn't know there was such a thing before, it's really a long experience, then let's eat it quickly, I want to dig out all the cores, this is such a big piece, it is estimated that there will be more than ten pieces." After Yun Li said that, he sent Lu Ci another piece of pulp, as if he really wanted to fulfill his previous promise to raise her fat, Lu Ci did not refuse, and sent a piece to eat, not worried about this problem at all.
After they had eaten their full jackfruit, the train arrived at their station, which was not yet the destination town, and they rented a sightseeing tricycle and headed for the town under the driver's guidance.
The town they went to was called Nava Town, which was no longer within the scope of the tourist area, it was very close to the jade mining area, and there were many ore processing workshops along the way, large and small. According to the driver, originally only the government had the right to mine and process, but the situation here is unstable, the infighting between the forces is very serious, and no one has come to investigate this matter, so many workshops are illegally operated, and there are forces behind them.
Yun Li had already inquired about the situation here, and he had the ability to deal with all kinds of emergencies, so he dared to bring Lu Ci with him, and after coming to Nawa Town, the two set off to find out Mo Lao's whereabouts.
What is Mo Lao's real name, Lu Ci and Lu Qishan don't know, they only know that his surname is Mo, everyone calls him Mo Lao, and he doesn't even have a photo, except for knowing the surname, and Lu Ci has a vague impression of him, and he doesn't know any other information. Lu Qishan actually didn't know Mo Lao, but he knew that there was such a person, and Mo Lao had a good relationship with the head of the family who adopted Lu Ci, and this time the information about his whereabouts was also obtained by chance.
It is really difficult to find a person who has almost no information in the town, and so many days have passed, it is still unknown whether Mo Lao will stay here, but the two of them still act according to the plan, no matter what, they have to give it a try, the process cannot be sloppy, and the result will be whatever it is.
The best way to find someone is to ask the local police for help, children know this truth, but Yun Li didn't plan to ask the local police for help, the situation here is unstable, and there are often cases of official personnel blackmailing tourists, for the sake of safety, he and Lu Ci still rely on their own ability to find more reliable.
They were the first to come to the grocery store in the town to ask, if Mo Lao really lived here, he would inevitably deal with these daily goods stores, and maybe he could get useful information from them. The two of them asked all the way down the street, and there were only two pieces of information given, the old man surnamed Mo was less than seventy years old, and there was no suspense in the result, and he didn't get anything after asking around.
Lunch time had long passed, and since the two had eaten a large piece of jackfruit before, they didn't feel hungry now, but they still had to eat lunch, so they found a noodle shop to rest for a while.
"Boss, how long will it take for us to order the noodles?" The two sat down and waited for a while, but before anything was served, Yun Li asked the boss in the kitchen.
"Wait, wait... A moment, soon... Soon, wait, soon. "The boss's Mandarin is not very good, and there are only a few words in English, but there is no problem with simple communication.
Yun Li is not an impatient person, but there are only two of them in the store, and the other clerks are in and out, I don't know what they are busy with, one of the kind clerks saw that the two of them were dressed as tourists, so he came over and explained:
"Please wait a minute, we are getting takeout, there are dozens of servings, but it will be good later, wait for me to ask the boss to add an extra braised egg to you."
"So that's the case, but looking at your boss's expression, it doesn't seem to be in a good mood, are you not happy to have big business come to your door?" Yun Li's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the boss was busy, but his face was not very good, so he asked casually.
The clerk lowered his voice and continued to explain: "You can also see it, we didn't want to take this business, but the employer is a neighbor of the boss's family, and he is embarrassed to refuse. "The clerk speaks Mandarin very well, and even uses the word "white thing" very well.
"It's no wonder, is that family a big family? Ordering dozens of takeaways at a time is a big deal here, right? Yun asked sideways, Lu Ci didn't know what he was thinking, so he obediently stayed aside and listened.
The clerk didn't have any heart, thinking that Yunli was a gossip person, anyway, he didn't have any work now, so he continued: "What kind of big family, it's a lonely old man who has died, but there are many people who come to his funeral, and they are all fresh faces, and the lunch boxes they originally prepared are not enough, so they found our shop to add it temporarily, so we are so busy." ”
"How old is the old man, his surname or something?" Yun Li continued to ask, and Lu Ci only then realized what his purpose was.
"He is in his sixties, he only moved to our town in recent years, not many people know him, only know that his name is Old Man Mo, and I don't know what his real name is." The clerk replied truthfully, as soon as these words came out, Yunli and Lu Ci were shocked, and the two looked different and looked at each other speechlessly.
"Let's go check it out first, it doesn't have to be him, don't worry too much." Yun Li held Lu Ci's hand and comforted him softly.
Lu Ci nodded: "Well, let it be, I want to open it now, these things can't be forced, I will listen to you." ”
"Where is the funeral location, let's go find someone, and he is likely to be at the funeral." After appeasing Lu Ci, Yun Li turned to the clerk and asked.
The clerk originally talked about this as gossip, but he didn't expect the two of them to go, and seeing that Yunli's appearance didn't look like a joke, he proposed: "Well, I'll be responsible for delivering the takeaway they ordered, if you don't mind, just follow my car later, it's not too far from here, just in the corner south of town." ”
Seeing Yunli's request, he agreed to help without thinking too much, anyway, it was a trivial matter, so he could stay with the big beauty for a while, and he didn't suffer at all.
The takeaway was soon ready, and the two bowls of noodles they ordered were packed and taken away, and the clerk used a modified diesel tricycle to transport the goods, dozens of boxed lunches did not occupy many places, and there was a free place to carry the two of them, Yunli was not polite to him, and Lu Ci got in the car directly to the destination.
The clerk also noticed that the big beauty was not in a good mood, so on the way, he introduced the situation of Old Man Mo to the two of them, and told some very cold jokes, Yun Li also smiled politely, but Lu Ci was not willing to give up, obviously not listening to their speeches, although she said that she did not force it, but the anxiety and loss in her heart were written on her face.
Mo Lao is the only clue to her life experience, if it is interrupted here, this mystery that has accompanied her for more than 20 years will never be answered, and confusion and unwillingness will follow her for a lifetime, this is an invisible torture, Yun Li will never let this kind of thing appear to Lu Ci.
I learned from the clerk that this old man Mo is not a local, he only moved to Nawa Town about five or six years ago, doing jade ore trading, the business is not big, and he is also very low-key, but the level of identification of ore quality is very high, and he is also very good at studying antiques and antiques, and many people in the town have asked him to help identify them. He has a strange temper, he doesn't refuse to come when he's in a good mood, and he doesn't even open the door when he's in a bad mood, but he never charges appraisal fees, and his vision is quite good, so everyone knows that there is such a person.
This old man Mo is a lonely man, and I haven't heard of any relatives in him, but after he settled here, he accepted a godson to help take care of the business, and he usually lives in a simple house and has no friends, so they can't inquire about the relevant information in the grocery store just now, and they can't imagine that so many people came to the funeral when he died, and some of them looked like they came from far away, and they didn't know who he was.
Not long after, they came to Old Man Mo's house, and the path outside was already occupied by many vehicles, many of which were taxis, and it could be seen that many visitors had come from afar.
Lu Ci was careful, and asked the clerk about the customs of the funeral here, in fact, it was no different from the domestic one, and the two of them changed into dark clothes before entering the house.
