Chapter 4 Poor Staff

Manhattan's traffic is a real problem, especially now during rush hour.

A large number of private cars, crazy yellow taxis, crowded pedestrians, bicycles scurrying around, sirens one after another, noisy and indistinguishable loud screen advertisements...... For those who are new to New York, it's hell.

But this is not a problem at all for Li Mo, a veteran driver who has experienced the baptism of Chinese traffic in his previous life!

Flexible drilling in the queue, crazy horn shooting rhythm when traffic jams, careful to avoid traffic police and cameras... A black taxi driver, who was furious by another person, poked his head out and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy!" Yellow Pig! ”

Li Mo poked his head out, let go of the steering wheel, and compared his middle finger with both hands at the same time: "Eat!" Nigger! Son of a bitch! ”

The black taxi driver was mad, ignoring the constant complaints and threats of the passengers in the back seat, and frantically tried to catch up with Li Mo, but lost his ...... after only a few intersections

More than 40 minutes later, Li Mo came to Chinatown. Looking at the Chinese billboards, the black eyes and yellow skin that can be seen everywhere seem to be in China again.

But not after all! Cantonese and Teochew are commonly spoken by the Chinese here, and Mandarin is a bit bizarre. It's not far from the city center, and the streets are populated by tourists of all colors!

Li Mo smiled self-deprecatingly, in this place with the largest number of Chinese, his sense of alienation and loneliness was actually even stronger......

I walked into an antique-looking Cantonese teahouse, asked for a pot of Tieguanyin, and ordered shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and barbecued pork buns. Spread out a local Chinese newspaper, Li Mo leisurely enjoyed...

After eating the last bite of shrimp dumplings, Li Mo stopped the guy who ran the hall, "Hello, I want to ask where I can buy domestic spices and daily necessities?" ”

This guy's Mandarin is very non-standard, and Li Mo can't understand it after listening to it for a long time. The guy was a little anxious, and a series of Chaoshan words popped up to make Li Mo even more confused!

At this time, an old voice sounded in the back seat, although it was also a little weird, but it could barely be understood, "The Wang's grocery store 50 meters ahead is relatively complete!" ”

Li Mo looked back, this was an old Chinese lady, although she was old and thin, her face was full of wrinkles and age spots, but her bearing was extraordinary. It seems to be a little familiar, where have you seen it?

After Li Mo thanked him, the old lady smiled slightly, "The young man speaks Chinese well, and he just came from China?" ”

"No, I'm a second-generation immigrant, and your old body looks good! Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Li Mo, and I haven't asked your surname yet! ”

The old lady slowly stood up, leaned on crutches and said, "My surname is Gao, you can call me Mrs. Gao!" I'm leaving, see you soon! ”

Mrs. Gao hunched her back and walked slowly with her legs bent, and two strong men in black suits, sunglasses, and serious faces immediately stood up and followed behind the old lady's buttocks.

Li Mo took a breath lightly, this old lady's identity is not simple! Where have you seen it?

Putting the doubts behind, Li Mo then slipped to Wang's grocery store. It is said that it is a grocery store, but it is actually divided into two floors, and each floor has six or seven hundred square meters!

The store has a complete range of items, from daily necessities to a variety of Chinese tableware, from a variety of spices and condiments to dried seafood from the north and south! The store is crowded, not only Chinese, but also a lot of blonde and blue-eyed foreigners......

The familiar smell came to his face, Li Mo took a breath excitedly, and swept the goods frantically! Rice cookers, dough sheeters are a must! Copper hot pot? This can be there! Dried chili, Sichuan pepper, spices, 13 spices, and sesame sauce are all serving!

This is?

The Marvel world actually has it too!

The old godmother is mighty!!

…………

An hour later.

Looking at the second-hand pickup truck that was full of goods in the body and even the back seat was stuffed, Li Mo was a little embarrassed.

The original plan was to buy a generator to charge the vines, but what did I do! He couldn't help but blame himself a little, Li Mo, Li Mo, this is the Marvel world, enhancing your strength and saving your life is the most important thing, but you are ......

At this time, there was a grunt in his stomach, and Li Mo was immediately stunned. Fuck it, the most important thing now is Uncle Yiyi...... Hungry!

Li Mo walked on his legs and anxiously entered a Sichuan-style restaurant......

……………………

Lee's handicraft shop.

Little Lucas looked at the morning's turnover, and the $25 figure stung him deeply, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated and hopeless.

Damn $25! Why not $250, he who is familiar with Chinese culture would rather be a 250!

If this continues, the store will not be far from closing! What should he do?

While he is well-informed and can say hello and joke with everyone on this street, that's about it!

Everyone has their own circle, and Eugene only hired one Russian, even if that person often drank and misbehaved! Fernandos is full of South Americans, even if it's a bunch of slackers! Daddy Bruce is black, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with the gang!

On this street, no one wants to give a serious job to an uneducated black guy, only Li Mo!

He will never forget that day, when he was so desperate that he was ready to join a gang to sell drugs, the kind Li Mo gave him hope and light! Although the salary is not good enough, it is enough to buy medicine and support her mother.

And in order to keep the small shop running, the boss would rather go out at night to deliver food than once owe him his salary!

He remembered all this in his heart! He worked hard to do all his work well, and even became a China expert through self-study!

He doesn't want to be unemployed, and he doesn't want Li Mo to go bankrupt! What to do? Young little Lucas has started to go crazy!

The owner has simply changed after returning from the hospital! Before, he was silent, a little sullen but very kind, and diligently maintained the operation of the shop.

And the current boss is a little slippery, a little poisonous, lazy, greedy and lustful! Always look like it doesn't matter!

It must have been broken by Iron Man's brain!

Damn Tony Stark!

Damn superheroes!

While little Lucas was thinking nonsense, a black policeman came in from the door of the store, "Hello, I'm Constable Bright. Mahoney, there was a homicide in the neighborhood last night, did you hear anything? ”

Little Lucas's head was confused, and he said with some irritation: "Mr. Police, this is Hell's Kitchen!" Someone dies every moment! Robbery, drug use, gang vendetta, I can give you a whole bunch of examples! The thing is, It's none of my business! ”

"Hey, be careful with the way you speak!" Bright looked at the irritable black young man in front of him, and a burst of doubt came to his heart, "Please follow me to the police station to assist in the investigation!" ”

"Hey, Mr. Police!" Li Mo, who had just entered the door and found that something was wrong, immediately walked over, "I am the owner of this store, and I can use my reputation to guarantee that my employees are good young men!" He's just in a bad mood because of his mother's illness! ”

Bright looked at the slightly chubby Chinese in front of him and relaxed. Before he came, he had already done a simple investigation, this Chinese shopkeeper named Li Mo was a rare good citizen in the neighborhood, and the files of the police station were very clean!

"Okay, Mr. Li, did you hear anything last night?" Bright asked, pulling out his notebook and pen.

"I'm sorry, I'm too tired from doing business, and the security is not very good at night nearby, so I went to bed early and didn't hear any movement!" Li Mo spread his hands and said.

"Okay." Bright was a little helpless, and almost all the merchants he visited said the same thing. took out a business card and handed it to Li Mo, "If you have any news, you can inform me, my name is Bright. Mahoni is a police officer who has just been transferred! ”

Looking at the departing police officer, Li Mo shook his head, while little Lucas spat contemptuously, "Another rookie who came to die!" ”

Li Mo patted little Lucas on the head, "What nonsense!" We must always have a little hope for the light, although we don't know when he will be assimilated into a black cop! I say...... The weather is so good, why are you so angry? ”

Little Lucas couldn't help but complain: "Boss, aren't you in business!" I didn't come back until now! The morning turnover is $25! …… $25! ”

Li Mo snorted, "$25? Well, it's a little better than yesterday! Leave it alone, come and help me move things! ”

Little Lucas followed Li Mo to the pickup, looking at all kinds of kitchenware and spices, and his eyes began to send ****oss You finally figured it out! What is the name of a Chinese restaurant? Let me think about it...... How about Lee's top Chinese cuisine? …… Wait, I thought of another one! ”

Li Mo looked at little Lucas a little strangely, "Who said I was going to open a Chinese restaurant?" ”

"So many things?" Little Lucas was a little dazed.

"Of course it's what I usually eat!"

"You...... You glutton! ”

Although he was about to cry angrily, little Lucas still helped Li Mo carry everything up to the second floor and put them in order.

Little Lucas wiped the sweat from his head, looked at Li Mo, who was in a happy mood and whistled, and persuaded him in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Boss, our business is not very good, and you squander it casually, if you don't do business well, you will go bankrupt if you continue like this!" ”

Li Mo waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, your boss and I... Hey... I got a compensation from Stark Group, which is enough to last for a while! ”

"But business always has to be done!" Little Lucas's anger rose again, and suddenly changed to a frightened expression, "Are you not going to do it?!" ”

Li Mo looked at the worried little Lucas, and didn't tease the young black guy anymore, "Don't worry! My shop will continue to open, and business will get better and better! I've decided, starting this month, your salary will increase by 50%! ”

Little Lucas, who got the promise, finally put his mind at ease, the boss seems to have become much smarter, maybe he has his own way!

However, Li Mo's next sentence made little Lucas panic, and the excitement of the salary increase was swept away.

"I heard you have a cousin named Kurt. Barrett? He seems to be a black market arms dealer, right? I want to buy something from him! ”
