15. Spooky
Wenzhou Street.
Ling Bai stood on the street, and in front of him was a young man pushing a cart and selling fried chestnuts.
"Brother, eat some chestnuts in winter, nourish the stomach and spleen, nourish the kidneys and tendons, invigorate blood and stop bleeding; He rubbed his hands together and spoke to Ling Bai, who was standing in front of him.
"Look at what you said so godly, let's get some, how much is a catty?" Ling Bai asked with a smile.
“15。 ”
"Then come 15. ”
"Delle. Freshly fried, it's hot. The young man quickly picked up the bag and copied it into the chestnut pile and put it on the electronic scale, "20, just right." ”
Ling Bai glanced at the number on the scale a little speechlessly, it was really exactly 20.
Am I the one who can suffer such a loss? No, aren't you able to get it accurately, then let the one who gets it back 5 yuan, no more, no less, just 5 yuan.
Ling Bai thought to himself, and was about to speak, when a figure flashed in front of him.
"Is it her?" he squinted slightly, took out a crumpled 20 pieces and threw them over, picked up the chestnut and chased after him.
There are many types of shops in Wenzhou Street, which seems to be extremely non-standardized. On the outside, there are small food shops, and on the inside of the street, there are tattoo parlors, clothing shops, and various training classes. The back in front is bloated and sturdy, and the pace is steady but unhurried.
Ling Bai followed behind while eating chestnuts while they were hot.
Why is Zhu Liping's mother coming to the city at this time? Her daughter's funeral has not been dealt with yet. A mother, regardless of shopping alone with her own daughter's funeral, feels unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
Liping's mother looked left and right at the signboard above the street from time to time, obviously not very familiar with Wenzhou Street.
Walking all the way to the alley at the end of the street, she stopped, turned around and turned into a small shop.
Ling Bai stopped and quietly stared at a neon sign hanging above, the lights flickering to form several large characters - old wolf tattoo.
"Tattoo parlor?" he frowned, and the suspicion in his heart lingered. Walked two steps forward and stopped in the shadow in front of the tattoo parlor.
Zhu Liping's mother was leaning her neck and talking to an artistic young man with a ponytail.
From so far away, he could hear the hysterical roars of women.
"It's okay for as much as you want, are you afraid that you can't afford it? ”
The pony-tailed young man looked a little embarrassed, and whispered something, and Zhu Liping's mother quieted down.
A moment later, the two walked into the inside of the store and disappeared from Ling Bai's line of sight.
Am I too idle? Although Zhu Liping's mother acts a little unconventionally, it is also her own freedom, and she can do so much.
Ling Bai opened his mouth and threw in a peeled chestnut, and walked back.
After coming out to hang out for so long, Boss Chen should have prepared all his flowers. This time, the goods purchased were ten times as large as usual, mainly from Zhu Yufei and other middle school students. Coupled with the surrounding factories, he believes that with his three-inch tongue, he should be able to fight the situation.
Back to Chen Kee Flower Wholesale.
The young female clerk saw Ling Bai at a glance, mustered up the courage to trot up, and laughed in a low voice: "Boss Ling, everything you want is wrapped." ”
"Thank you, if you can't sell it, you have to be responsible. The female clerk was only twenty, and her smiling face was full of the smell of collagen, and Ling Bai couldn't help but tease. Turning to look at the cash register, he asked, "What about Lao Chen?"
"The owner went home to cook for the hostess. The female clerk looked slightly drunk and lowered her head and said.
"It's still a man who cares about the family, I really don't see it. Ling Bai took the list from her hand, picked up a few large bundles of flowers, and raised her eyebrows, "I will transfer the money to Lao Chen's WeChat, go first, and see you next time." ”
"I'll help you. Seeing this, the young female clerk enthusiastically carried a bundle of champagne roses and followed Ling Bai out.
The daily work of the flower wholesale store also includes carrying things for customers, she skillfully followed, and asked with a smile: "Boss Ling, where is your car parked?"
"Car?" Ling Bai glanced left and right, pointed to a taxi with double flashes parked on the side of the road and said, "That's it." ”
The new female clerk was stunned, and then smiled: "Boss Ling is really frugal. ”
"Taxi is still called thrifty? I feel like this is the most angry I've had this year. Ling Bai smiled slightly, walked to the co-pilot, and looked inside, "Are you going to leave the airport?"
The main driver sat a middle-aged greasy uncle in his forties, with his hair a little messy, and a high-necked black sweater blocking most of his neck.
When he heard the word airport, he hurriedly got out of the car, with a smile on his face, "Young man, there are so many things, I'll take a hand." ”
Ling Bai did not refuse the kindness of others, and the three of them made two trips back and forth, and quickly stuffed all the flowers into the car.
"It's really cold, but it's a lot warmer with exercise. The uncle got in the car and fastened his seat belt, looked at the flowers stuffed even in the back row, and asked, "Young man, are you in the flower shop business?"
"Hmm. After getting into the car, Ling Bai was a little drowsy and replied listlessly.
"The flower shop business is good, the profit is large, and now young people like to send flowers, and it will be Valentine's Day for foreigners soon, and the price of flowers can increase several times at that time." Uncle Driver continued to answer.
"Uncle, you're quite knowledgeable. Ling Bai looked ahead, and the car quickly drove out of the city. The population is gradually thinning.
"During the holidays, I also buy some flowers for my family. Therefore, I usually go to bargain half a month in advance, and on the day of the festival, I will naturally know how many times it has risen. The driver's uncle held the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at the mobile phone hanging on the air conditioning outlet, clicked on a group voice, and a noisy voice sounded in the mobile phone, "Fuck, I pulled a woman just now, and she was very sassy, and her skirt was almost short to the buttocks, hehe..... Just in the suburbs, Lao Tzu her directly, and at first she was half-pushed, but then she simply stopped resisting, which was really cool. ”
He obviously didn't expect the content of the voice, and smiled at Ling Bai a little embarrassed, "Don't mind, young man. ”
Ling Bai smiled dumbly, the drivers are all old oils who are not taboo in meat and vegetables, and sometimes what they say is just to satisfy their temporary lust and get a little satisfaction from their mouths. He didn't take it to heart, closed his eyes and silently rested.
The car moved smoothly and began to pick up speed after entering the Yingbin Avenue leading to the airport. The scattered bungalows on both sides of the road retreated rapidly, and it was pitch black ahead, and even the street lights were not turned on.
"It's a wicked stretch of road. If you don't turn on the lights at night, it is said that something strange will happen. When he arrived at Huxiaoling, the driver's uncle's face became solemn.
"Strange thing?" Ling Bai half-squinted. Huxiaoling belonged to the boundaries of the town, and as a local, he hadn't heard of anything strange happening at all. What the hell is this driver trying to do?
