Chapter 352: Blue is the color of stupidity
At the end of April in the spring, when the grass grew and the warbler flew, when Yan Feng hurried back to the town guard mansion in the spring breeze, Washington also reached Swift City, a small town in southern Mitri State.
Smaller cities can't compare to the bustling state capitals of Navi, let alone East-West trade hubs like Angel City, but Swift is still much more popular than small towns like Tomily and Louis.
After getting off the bus and following the main road planted with ash trees, Washington and Fletcher asked for updates on the target restaurant along the way.
It seems that this incident has indeed caused a lot of trouble in this city, and most of the passers-by who asked also know about the situation of this hotel, but most of the impression of the incident is still stuck in the store manager's fight against the 3Klux Klan, the bad guys were arrested, and the heroes hid their merits and fame.
As for the follow-up progress, they also shook their heads regretfully, and the whereabouts of the store manager and the two clerks were unknown to the onlookers, but Washington asked them about the location of the restaurant.
"Seongnam? Looks like you'll have to take the train. Fletcher said to Washington after looking at a map of the city on the side of the road.
The train station they got off at was east of the city, and it would take a lot of time to walk there, as it was getting dark, and if you wanted to check into the hotel before dinner, then transportation was the best option.
William and O'Bannon, who had slept enough on the train, were quite energetic at this time and pulled their eldest sister to play with them, and the relatively mature little beaver three sensibly pulled the two little guys over to take care of them.
"Let's go, anyway, let's go to the restaurant first to check the situation, maybe the clerks will know the whereabouts of their manager?"
Although she didn't believe it herself, she could only be a dead horse doctor if there were no more clues.
Nearly half a month has passed since the incident, and neither the people sent by the Governor's Office nor the government have heard the news, so the possibility that the clerk knows is not high, and of course it is not ruled out that he deliberately did not say it for the sake of secrecy.
The city seems to be dominated by agriculture, and when they took the tram all the way to the south of the city, they saw that most of the shops along the road sold agricultural and animal products.
The greening of the city is also quite good, compared to the various high-rise buildings in the metropolis that bring people a sense of prosperity and coldness at the same time, this small central city is more of a number of two-story buildings next to each other, and single-family houses can bring people a sense of warmth more than apartments.
The roads are lined with oaks and redwoods, which are the most common trees in the country, and the green lawns that can be seen everywhere also add a touch of beauty to the city.
By the time the Washington group arrived at the restaurant, the sunset had turned the sky a beautiful burgundy red, and the bistro was at its busiest time of the day.
To Washington's and Fletcher's surprise, this small restaurant is not the most common hamburger fast-food restaurant in the Miqi country, but a Chinese-style Chinese restaurant.
The employees of the store are also of all races, and when Washington and others sat down and waited for the order, they listened carefully to the conversation of the customers, and many of them were still discussing the riot half a month ago.
There are even people who live in other parts of the city who come to see what this fabled restaurant looks like.
"Hello, what would you like to order?" In Washington, D.C., a group of seven people sat down at a large table, and soon after, a waiter came to inquire attentively.
Looking at the appearance of the servant who was sweating profusely in the spring of April, Washington probably knew how busy they were.
Since the main purpose of this visit was not to eat, Washington, Fletcher and the others only ordered a few dishes casually, after all, they who had been raised by the town guard Yixian and Chongqing craftsmanship would not have much expectation for the craftsmanship of these ordinary roadside restaurants.
Seeing the waiter hand the menu to the back kitchen, Washington beckoned again to the young white woman with freckles on her face.
"Is there anything else?" The waiter asked politely after trotting over.
"Well, it's about your boss."
As soon as they heard Washington's question, the waiter's face tightened, but apparently they have dealt with a lot of similar problems recently, and the waiter said with a smile: "I'm sorry customer, we don't know the whereabouts of the store manager, and now the assistant store manager is in charge of everything in the store." ”
As she spoke, she also pointed to the middle-aged yellow man dressed as a foreman in the store.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything from the waiter, and that someone next to her had ordered, Washington let her go and began to talk to Fletcher and the others in a whisper.
"It seems that we still have to start with the assistant manager, but let's eat first, this will be the peak of the meal is estimated to be too busy for a while."
"Well, the assistant manager looks very capable, and he seems to manage the whole small store very well when the store manager is away." Fletcher said, looking around at the small shops that were very clean.
You must know that Chinese restaurants have heavy oil smoke, so most of the small shops that are not cleaned properly will look more or less hung with some oil beads.
However, this Chinese restaurant does a good job of this, at least the clean environment is easier to attract customers to dine.
After serving, as they expected, although the taste was not unpalatable, this kind of Chinese food specially modified to cater to the taste of Westerners made it a little difficult for ship girls who are used to eating authentic Chinese food.
Seeing that the little ones were frowning and poking in their rice bowls, Washington sighed and said, "Let's eat a little, we can't be too demanding when we go out, and we will let you eat enough when we return to the town guard's mansion." ”
"Okay~~" William and O'Bannon replied without much energy, but they still obediently picked up their rice bowls and began to eat in small bites.
The three little beavers on the side were also moving around with chopsticks in the middle of a few dishes, and Washington and Fletcher had no choice but to start eating when they saw this, and after everyone frowned and finished eating, there were naturally a lot of dishes left on the whole table.
The assistant manager, who was patrolling the store, apparently also noticed Washington's expression and the rest of the dishes, strode over and asked with a smile, "Are you not very satisfied with the dishes at the small store?" It seems that there is still a lot left, is there anything that is not to your taste? ”
Even if the Chinese restaurant opened by Miqi Guokai is improved, it will still not suit the appetite of some Westerners, and he has seen many cases before, so it is not difficult to deal with it.
He also came over to ask if the other party had any suggestions for improving the dishes, and the responsible assistant manager informed the kitchen to make improvements.
was worried that he couldn't find a reason to talk to the assistant manager, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come up because of the leftovers, so Washington talked to him first in order not to startle the snake.
"The dishes are actually good, but our sisters think the taste is strange because they eat authentic Chinese food all year round, and you don't have to worry too much about this store manager."
After hearing this, the deputy store manager suddenly realized and smiled, "So that's the case, our waiter saw that you were all Westerners, so he didn't specifically ask if he wanted the original Chinese flavor, which was our negligence, please forgive me." ”
After talking to the assistant manager about the taste of the dishes, Washington finally got to the point: "Mr. manager, do you know where your boss is now?" We have important things to look for her. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but then replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, I don't know about this, the boss has disappeared with two other clerks since he handed over the store to me temporarily, and she said that she will come back in three months, and we don't know much about the specific situation." ”
The other party's dripping answer gave Washington a little headache, and then Fletcher asked with a smile on the side, "Mr. Store, do you know the true identity of your boss?" ”
She was planning to deceive the other party, and by the way, she also tested whether the three women were really the ship's mother.
When the deputy store manager heard this, his face finally changed, and he smiled reluctantly, "What are you talking about, isn't the boss the boss?" In addition to going overboard this time, we have always been doing our part to run a small shop. ”
'Bingo! ’
Seeing each other's reactions, Fletcher and Washington knew there was a door.
In this case, Washington, who had a more straightforward temper, simply said bluntly, "I won't spare the bend, let's talk about it directly, I and these sisters are both ship mothers, presumably your boss is too, I suspect that she and those two clerks may be our lost sisters." ”
"Forehead ......"
The assistant store manager was originally ready to kill Reliance, but the unexpected unfolding made him stunned for a moment.
Then he said with a somewhat tangled face, "Well, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the alley next to the store and talk slowly." ”
With that, he turned around first and went to arrange work with the clerks, and at this time, they also went to the counter to settle the bill, walked outside the door, and waited for the assistant store manager to come out.
After waiting long in the alley next to the restaurant, the assistant manager hurriedly walked over.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Washington smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, the store is really busy right now, let's make a long story short, the store manager and those two clerks are really ship girls, right?" ”
"Hey...... Indeed, as you said, the store manager told me her identity after returning from the fight, but she also asked me to keep her whereabouts secret, do you really know our store manager? The assistant store manager said helplessly, and then solemnly made the final confirmation to Washington.
"I'm not sure who your manager is, but I recognize the blue-haired clerk, her name is Quincy." Washington looked at the assistant store manager's expression and said with a confident smile.
