Chapter 55: The Department Store in Chinatown
"You mean, the one named Hawkeye invited you to join them?"
Lin Sen frowned, thinking about it, it was strange that Peter appeared in such a high-profile way every day and didn't attract their attention, but with the resources in Nick Fury's hands, he didn't find out Spider-Man's true identity? That's a bit weird.
"Not to join them, it's to join a special team, you don't know, he almost scared me when he first appeared."
"Are you sure they don't know who you really are?"
"Hey, I've been paying attention, and I've never taken off my hood in front of others, and although this hood is more breathable, it's still very inconvenient for me to eat or drink anything."
Hehe, kid, you're still too naΓ―ve, Lin Sen can't complain, if you can hide your true identity by wearing a hood, then you don't treat people as dishes.
Also, can you stop talking about unrelated things?
Although I don't know what the reason is, this incident also reminded Lin Sen that instead of joining the organization that hides a large number of Hydra members, it is better to set up a small group by yourself, so that it is much more convenient to act, and it is better to deal with tricky things.
"Lin Sen, do you think I should agree to his invitation?"
"Don't accept it, we'll organize it ourselves!"
"Yourself?" Peter tilted his head, and he didn't understand the meaning of the two words.
"Yes!" After finishing speaking, Lin Sen became more determined in the idea he had had a long time ago, "I also know other heroes, we can set up a hero team by ourselves." β
Peter understood this time, and he suddenly became interested, "Cool! So what is the name of this team of ours, like the Roaring Commando team under Captain America and the X-Men, our name needs to be a little better than theirs. β
"If we have a team, do we have our own base, and if we do, I want to stock some soda in it, you know, we are not old enough to drink."
"By the way, we don't need uniform clothing, so ...... in that case"
Lin Sen regretted bringing up this topic a little, he felt as if there were hundreds of flies flying around in his ears, he thought that Peter had restrained some of his chatter attributes after becoming Spider-Man, but now it seems that it is only a little better when he wears the Spider-Man suit.
"Okay, Lin Sen, why are we here at this place? In the afternoon, I have to go to Gwen's graduation ceremony and prom. Seeing that Lin Sen didn't speak, Peter consciously closed his mouth, and then quietly changed the subject.
The two are located at the entrance to Chinatown at the southern end of Manhattan in New York City, just down the famous Broadway Avenue, which is also a short distance from the city hall and the world-famous international financial center Wall Street.
"Buy a material, you can only buy it here, and it looks like you came with me." Yesterday, when Lin Sen looked at the calendar, he found that it would be the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China after a while, so he naturally thought of this kind of food like zongzi.
In this case, it is estimated that this is the only place in New York where you can buy zongye.
"Shopping?" Peter looked at the crowd in front of him and swallowed with some difficulty, "Are you sure?" β
"......" Lin Sen didn't know how to answer this question, he actually forgot before he came, today is the weekend.
This Chinatown located in Manhattan, New York, USA, has a history of more than 100 years, and has always been the most important commercial center for Chinese in New York.
Chinatown is lined with food stores, restaurants, coffee houses, Buddhist temples and haberdashery stores, with mountains of fruits, herbs and seafood in front of the storefront, and a third of them are Chinese restaurants, and the Chinese restaurant that Lin Sen's grandparents gave him is also on this street.
Because of this reason, before the system was activated, Lin Sen often came to the restaurant to ask the chefs for cooking skills, so he was quite familiar with this street, and knew that there was a super large department store next to the Confucius Statue Square in front of him, which specialized in selling small things with Chinese characteristics.
Such as: Tang costumes, cheongsam, teapots, traditional Chinese medicine, Shu embroidery, Su embroidery, pottery, porcelain, pepper, Xianglian, lake lotus, etc., basically all the goods about the oriental primary color can be found in that store, involving all aspects of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything.
If memory serves, even on the top fifth floor, there will be some ancient Chinese cold weapons. Of course, they were all imitations, but this still left a deep impression on Lin Sen.
Looking at the dense crowd, Peter didn't want to move, and offered to wait for Lin Sen to come back in place, but Lin Sen used a few words of soul torture to calm him down:
"Are you going to go to Gwen's graduation and prom like this empty-handed?"
"Uh......" Peter looked confused.
"You've never given a gift to someone, have you?"
"Well...... Peter's whole body is petrified.
"Do you know what Gwen likes?"
"She likes me!" Peter reacted quickly and quickly gave an answer.
Well, Lin Sen gave him a look of his own experience, this kid, in order to answer questions, treats himself as a thing, what else can I say.
He now has a complete understanding of one thing, what is the halo of the protagonist, that is, no matter how much this man doesn't know how to please girls, no matter how low his emotional intelligence is, no matter how slow he is, he will definitely have a heroine! This is the real protagonist, and the aura is woody.
However, he talked about it, and although Peter was slow to react, he had a strong desire to survive, and quickly asked, "What do you have a good idea?" β
"No." Lin Sen pouted and said, "Didn't you say that Gwen complained to you that you had slept late lately and had a little bad skin?" I know there's something that will help her a little bit, and if you give it to her, she'll be so happy. β
"So what are you waiting for! Let's go. β
A large part of the flow of people in Chinatown is divided by various restaurants, and the rest of the people who come to buy fruits and ingredients have also found a roadside stall and gone home, and the department store has to walk some distance inside, but there are not too many people willing to come.
Therefore, when Lin Sen and Peter crowded in front of the department store, they found that there were not many people inside, and most of the people who were shopping were Europeans and Americans, and they could hear a few surprised exclamations from time to time.
The only Asian face was the person sitting at the cash register, and Lin Sen greeted him outside the store, "Hi Lao Feng, how is your business lately?" β
I don't know why, since Lin Sen first came to the present, the person sitting at the cash register has not changed, he is the only one in the whole store, and what is even more amazing is that there is no surveillance in the mall, but no one has ever dared to cheat.
Because, this man with a shiny bald head and a simple look looks like a man actually has a good martial arts, and has practiced a pair of fiery eyes, and since the store has been opened, no one has been able to take advantage of him.
Of course, there are many magical places, for example, some Chinese specialty fruits sold in the mall, I don't know how to transport them, anyway, they look very fresh, and the price is not expensive. These are all details that Lin Sen has not paid attention to.
When Lin Sen greeted him, a black-haired woman was talking to him, and when he heard someone shouting to him, Lao Feng glanced at this side, and then muttered a few words to the black-haired woman who was talking, and the woman walked inside, it seemed that she was going to the cheongsam area.
"That woman's figure is so good, you won't be so slight, what you suggest is that kind of long cheongsam, right?"
"Ahem~~" Listening to what Lin Sen said, Lao Feng suddenly choked, coughed violently, and recovered after a while, "What's wrong, Xiao Linsen, what are you buying again?" β
"Can you get rid of the small print?" Lin Sen was a little speechless. "I'm here to buy zongye, and this friend of mine wants to buy balm, the kind that can be good for the skin."
In fact, balm is also called solid perfume, also known as solid air freshener, the main ingredients are honey and essence.
Some balms, in order to adapt to different needs, use different formulas, and some balms add jojoba oil in addition to beeswax. Jojoba oil is very easily absorbed by the human body, and has a very significant beauty effect on the skin, has the effect of balancing the skin, and is a very good product in the store.
Lao Feng thought for a while, and then told the two of them where they needed the items:
"Lin Sen, Zongye is on the second floor, you can see it by walking two steps to the left of the elevator after you go up, with a few bamboo baskets"
"Friend Lin Sen, the balm you need, it's on the third floor, go inside on the right after going up, the shelf closest to the wall, and the outside is packed in a pink box."
Peter listened dumbfounded, and didn't wake up until he was pulled away by Lin Sen, and the expression on his face had already told Lin Sen what he wanted to say: can you still play like this?
"Calm, Lao Feng's memory is super good, if he just comes to the store to buy what he wants, everyone will come directly to ask Feng, because he remembers everything in the store clearly, as the only clerk, he can't take others to find things, right?"
"I'll go buy what I want first, I'll go up to you later, if you want to shop, it's okay."
When he arrived on the second floor, Lin Sen followed what Lao Feng said, and sure enough, he didn't take two steps before he saw a few bamboo baskets of dumpling leaves.
But just as he squatted down to choose Zongye, a prompt suddenly popped up in the system in his mind, a new task without warning:
