Chapter 1227: Fire!
When Lin Xiao looked over, he saw a middle-aged woman walking in a hurry, going straight to a counter of imported kitchenware, carrying a bag of things in her hand, bright red color, looking like raw pork ribs.
"What is this for?" Tang Mingxin felt a little puzzled.
"Let's ask, and it will be clear." Lin Xiao said.
So the two walked over, but at this time, they saw Tang Mingxin's cousin talking to the shopping guide at the counter.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Tang Mingxin walked over and asked.
"Oh, it's Mingxin, didn't I buy a pot here......" My cousin saw Tang Mingxin, and there was a handsome young guy beside her, so she said with some surprise.
"What does buying a pot have to do with ribs?" Tang Mingxin asked.
Because they all see it now, my cousin is putting the newly bought ribs on the counter.
"It's all because I bought a pot." My cousin's answer was indeed a bit inexplicable.
So Tang Mingxin asked a few more words, and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.
It turned out that my cousin spent more than 3,000 on this counter to buy a wok, and the shopping guide said casually that she was welcome to take the dishes for processing at any time.
So, for more than half a month, my cousin, who lives near the mall, carries raw meat, pork ribs, chickens and other things almost every day, and asks the shopping guide to help cook the dishes.
While talking, I saw my cousin handing over the ribs to the shopping guide with ease, "It's still the old taste." ”
"Good. You go around first, and then come back in half an hour to get the food. The shopping guide didn't say anything, she directly turned on the induction cooker and poured the ribs into the sample pot displayed at the counter.
Lin Xiao was a little stunned on the side, he didn't expect to buy a pot and bring a cooking service, which is really a bit surprising.
After coming out of the counter, Tang Mingxin complained a little and said to her cousin, "Why do you do this, aren't you afraid that others will be impatient?" ”
Unexpectedly, my cousin replied confidently, "This is what they said, since I spent so much money to buy a pot, I should enjoy the corresponding service." ”
When Tang Mingxin heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
After all, this thing seems to sound like it has some truth.
After all, there is too much false propaganda now, and customers are not easy to deceive, since there is really this kind of after-sales service, it seems reasonable for Tang Mingxin's cousin to come over with pork ribs and let them stew.
It's just that Lin Xiao also has a little doubt in his heart, can the things that people stew here eat with confidence?
Tang Mingxin's cousin obviously had other things to do, so she just chatted with Tang Mingxin for a few words, looked at Lin Xiao twice, and then left in a hurry.
"I don't understand." Lin Xiao looked at his cousin's back, shook his head and said.
"I guess it's a card addiction...... Tang Mingxin frowned and said, "Otherwise, why do you send food here every day for people to cook?" ”
"Oh, there's a bit of truth to that." Lin Xiao agreed when he heard this.
People here are also very good at playing cards, especially housewives, who are even more budget-conscious, it is estimated that Tang Mingxin's aunt is in this situation, saving time to cook to play cards, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and nothing is delayed, and it is really clever enough.
"You still have relatives here, I always thought it was your brother and sister." Lin Xiao said to Tang Mingxin.
"Yes, there are still a few distant relatives, but they rarely interact." Tang Mingxin nodded and said, "Neither of them is very familiar with each other's situation, and they only know that I work here on Mingzhu's side, and they don't know what I'm doing." ”
"Oh, that's really a distant relative, the relationship is indeed far enough." Lin Xiao nodded and said.
Everyone has a few unreliable distant relatives, and Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to this matter.
There are still a lot of boutiques in the mall, but Tang Mingxin doesn't seem to care much about jewelry or anything, after all, she needs to deal with criminals most of the time, so there are few opportunities to use these things.
Police officers, especially criminal police officers, have had to adapt to a lot of changes since they accepted the profession.
The two walked around the mall and went up to the fourth floor, where they were full of men's clothing.
"Why do you want to put men's clothing on a second high level after children's clothing, you say?" Lin Xiao transferred two stores and asked Tang Mingxin.
The fifth floor is a children's clothing area, but half of the space is amusement equipment or something, and a group of children are making noise on it, but it is also quite lively.
Lin Xiao always felt that the women's clothing and women's shoes area on the second and third floors was the most prosperous area, as for the first floor, it was basically occupied by jewelry and jade shops, and the rest were all selling ice cream or milk tea, which didn't feel very lively.
"Probably because women's money is the best to make, as for men's clothing, although it may not be easier to sell than children's clothing, but after all, the value is here, so it can occupy a little better location than children's clothing." Tang Mingxin analyzed.
"What you said also makes sense, why don't you go up to the sixth floor to have a look, there is a food area over there, and it is said that there are many special snacks......" Lin Xiao proposed.
"Do you come here often? How do you feel so familiar with this place? Tang Mingxin asked with some curiosity.
Because Lin Xiao didn't spend much time in Mingzhu, Tang Mingxin was still a little surprised that Lin Xiao was familiar with the shopping mall.
"It's not very familiar, but we can look at the map......" Lin Xiao pointed behind Tang Mingxin's back with his hand.
Tang Mingxin looked back and saw a schematic map of the mall posted on the wall, and there were fire escape exits and emergency evacuation exits next to it, these things are now standard, but it is not strange at all.
"That's right, some shopping malls now have digital maps." Tang Mingxin nodded and said.
The two of them went up to the sixth floor, ordered a spicy pot, bought some freshly squeezed drinks or something, and then sat here and waited.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten in this kind of place, and now I either nibble on dry bread and pickles, or go to the hotel for a buffet, and there are not many opportunities to eat in the unit canteen." After Tang Mingxin sat down, he said with some emotion.
"It stands to reason that since you have become a captain, there should be a lot less of this kind of thing, right?" Lin Xiao was still a little curious about this.
After all, Tang Mingxin is now a senior police officer of a certain level, how can he still be on the front line like this?
And he always felt that the public security environment on Mingzhu's side was relatively good, and he had no impression that there had been any major vicious criminal cases or anything, and Tang Mingxin, as the captain of the criminal police, should not be so busy.
"There are some things that do not see the light." When Tang Mingxin mentioned this matter, he just replied like this.
"Oh, you're right." Lin Xiao nodded, and said in his heart that it seems that Mingzhu also has a lot of problems, but it is better controlled, so it does not have a big impact.
After all, it is a super city with a population of tens of millions, how can it be that there is no dark side at all, that is unscientific.
In fact, whether it is during the day or at night, there will always be some bad things happening, and Tang Mingxin, the captain of the criminal police brigade, leads so many policemen to deal with these things, so it is naturally impossible to be idle.
After a few minutes, the spicy pot over there was ready.
Lin Xiao walked over, gave one of the receipts to the waiter at the bunk, and then walked back with the pot.
"It's a big pot, I don't know if we can eat so much." Tang Mingxin said when he saw it.
"It looks good, but there's a lot of oil." Lin Xiao said, "Chili peppers, peppercorns, onions and so on, almost one-third of the appearance, but it should be relatively delicious." I'm going to make two more bowls of rice, this kind of thing is the best for rice. ”
In fact, if you don't use rice, just eating this kind of spicy pot, even if your stomach can stand it, you won't feel very happy, so Lin Xiao went over and brought back two bowls of rice.
"Now it's all alive." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Both of them are very neat and neat people, and they don't say much at the moment, and they each eat a meal with food.
This kind of spicy pot is indeed more attractive, the faster you eat, the faster you eat, and soon you see that the pot of dishes is almost at the bottom, and the stomachs of both people are also holding up.
"I haven't eaten this well in months." Tang Mingxin put down the bowl and said with some emotion.
"You don't need to go on a diet like this, what's not to be happy with?" Lin Xiao said, "The level of the Great Martial Arts Master is still very high for energy consumption, even if it is a big meal of fish and meat, it will not increase your fat content, but the speed of digestion and absorption by the body will always make you feel hungry." ”
Martial Arts Grand Master or something, the demand for food is indeed very large, because after all, she has not reached the physique of a cultivator like Lin Xiao, and directly ingests aura or something else as consumption, Tang Mingxin still has to take nutrients from food, so when the expenditure is large, the more energy needs to be consumed, and she can only supplement these consumption by eating more high-energy food.
If you go beyond this level, it will be better, but at that time, the energy that needs to be consumed is also more advanced, that is, something similar to aura, but unfortunately it is not easy to find it on the earth now.
It is precisely because of this that the cultivation inheritance on the earth has been cut off for a long time.
When the two of them were sitting here chatting and drinking juice, they heard a commotion below, and it seemed that the diners in the restaurant also got up, as if something special had happened.
"Well, what's going on?" When Tang Mingxin saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It seems that there is a fire...... Lin Xiao wrinkled his nose and said, "I feel that the fire is not small, I didn't expect to come out for a meal, and I actually encountered this kind of thing." ”
"Fire?!" Tang Mingxin stood up suddenly, and said with a somewhat nervous expression, "This is a big shopping mall, if there is really a fire, it will easily cause casualties!" ”
