Since cooperating with Chen Lishu, he has learned a few practical words. Although his pronunciation is poor, he can understand a few key words, and he can even guess correctly.
"Cashmere sweater?" Ever since he came into contact with cashmere sweaters, this was the word he heard the most during this period. Zhao Xingwang was very sure that he heard it correctly.
The two foreigners originally wanted to exchange RMB. After all, things in overseas Chinese stores were too expensive. When Zhao Xingwang asked, they took out the newly bought cashmere sweaters in their hands and showed them to him.
Just one glance at Zhao Xingwang confirmed that this was definitely the batch of goods sold by Chen Lishu, and he suddenly became more energetic: "Where did you buy these clothes?"
The two foreigners looked confused and held on to their newly bought clothes. What did they mean?
"Crooked, crooked ears?" Zhao Xingwang asked with some uncertainty.
The two foreigners seemed to understand what he meant, and they chattered loudly, which made Zhao Xingwang's head spin.
He took out the money and exchanged it for foreign exchange certificates. He put his hands together and bowed to the two of them, asking them to show him the way.
Fortunately, the two of them were quite enthusiastic and went all the way to the commercial street and pointed in the direction of the shop where they bought clothes.
Looking at the plaque of the 'Meili' clothing store, Zhao Xingwang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was so close to Chen Lishu's 'Shuse' clothing store.
"Three grams of oil, three grams of oil." After thanking the two foreigners, Zhao Xingwang turned around and went directly to Chen Lishu's house in order to avoid disturbing others.
…
Jiang Weiguo couldn't sit still before it was time to get off work. He asked the newly transferred comrade to look at the store, and he went out to the store he opened.
"Uncle, you're here." When Jiang Zhaodi saw him coming in, she jumped up from her stool.
Jiang Weiguo clasped his hands behind his back and frowned in displeasure: "How many times have I told you that you have to behave like you are at work? You are not here to raise an uncle. What will the guests think when they come in and see your casual attitude?"
Jiang Zhaodi felt a little aggrieved. She had just cleaned the store inside and out, but her uncle couldn't see her. He had just sat down for a while and he had to scold her with a straight face because he didn't like her.
But her family's conditions were not good, and her father had begged her to work here at all costs. Even if Jiang Zhaodi felt uncomfortable, she did not dare to show it.
"Uncle, two foreigners came to the store today." Jiang Zhaodi thought for a while and said.
"Oh? There are foreigners here?" Sure enough, Jiang Weiguo was successfully attracted by the word "foreigner". He didn't expect that even foreigners came to his store. It seems that without the 'Shuse' clothing store, his good luck will come.
.
"Did they buy something?"
Jiang Zhaodi nodded: "They bought two cashmere sweaters. I sold them for fifty yuan."
Jiang Weiguo suddenly pulled his face, frowned and said, "You won't be allowed to touch those cashmere sweaters, right?"
Jiang Zhaodi: "I know, I just think they are foreigners. If we say no, they will stop coming in the future."
Jiang Weiguo thought about it and felt that what she said made some sense. Besides, if a foreigner didn't speak Chinese, how many people would know about buying it?
After thinking about this, Jiang Weiguo's expression softened a lot: "You did a good job. Let's wait another hour. If no one comes to the door, you can go home from get off work."
It's almost five o'clock and it's time to get off work, and it will be six o'clock in an hour. It's already dark outside in winter, and her home is far away. Last time she came home too late and she almost got robbed.
"Uncle, it's getting dark outside, and there are usually no customers in the store at this time. Can I stay for another half an hour?" Jiang Zhaodi discussed.
"I pay you so much every month just to make you lazy? Why are you in such a hurry to go home? If you don't want to work, don't come tomorrow." Jiang Weiguo said this and turned around to go home.
…
Speaking of Chen Lishu, in addition to attending classes these two days, she has also been working hard to find the whereabouts of that batch of goods.
After class in the afternoon, she left the school and took a car to the underground market by the river. She felt that if someone sold stolen goods, they would probably choose there.
Because she had bought goods from Dong Jian several times before, the two of them were familiar with each other, so Chen Lishu asked him to help keep an eye on it and inform her as soon as possible if there was any news.
When I came back from the underground market, it was already dark outside. As soon as I walked in, I saw Zhao Xingwang sitting in the living room. He guessed that there was some news about that batch of goods. Sure enough, before she could speak, Zhao Xingwang had already told what happened in the afternoon.
Just said it briefly.
"'Beautiful' clothing store?" Chen Lishu was stunned after hearing his words. She always thought that she was unlucky enough to be targeted by thieves. Could it be that this was actually a premeditated theft?
"Have you entered the store?"
Zhao Xingwang shook his head: "I'm afraid of arousing suspicion. Once I'm sure it's his house, I'll come over and tell you."
Chen Lishu nodded: "You are right."
"Sister, I'm ready to cook. You've been busy all day, why don't you eat first." Zhao Qiuyue came out of the kitchen and called someone.
She had also heard about the incident in the store. Seeing that Chen Lishu had been too busy to eat or sleep in the past two days, Zhao Qiuyue was also a little worried.
"I specially stewed kelp and pork ribs soup. Let's eat some with Ruirui."
"What, it's getting late, sister, I'll leave first." Hearing Zhao Qiuyue calling for dinner, Zhao Xingwang stood up and left knowingly.
"Brother Zhao, you've been busy all day. It's troublesome to go back so late and cook. Just eat here. I'll have something else to do later and I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Zhao Xingwang glanced at Zhao Qiuyue subconsciously. He had been sitting here for more than an hour. Except for asking about his origin at the beginning, Zhao Qiuyue never spoke to him again. He didn't know why, after meeting so many people, he
I just looked at this serious woman and felt a little frightened for no reason.
"Well, that's okay."
Zhao Qiuyue not only made pork ribs and kelp soup, but also made stewed potatoes with dried vegetables. It tasted so good that Zhao Xingwang couldn't help but eat two bowls of rice in a row.
"Brother Zhao, do you know anyone who can pick locks? I want to go to the 'Meili' clothing store tonight to check out the situation." If her goods are really in Jiang Weiguo's store, then she must make him pay the due price.
.
"Who can help me with such a simple thing? I can handle it."
Chen Lishu was surprised: "Brother Zhao, can you still open locks?"
Zhao Xingwang scratched his head: "There are too many skills to overcome, hehe."
Chen Lishu: "..." This kind of skill is really unique.
Now that they decided to go to the 'Meili' clothing store to check out the situation, Chen Lishu and Zhao Xingwang took a car to the commercial street after telling Zhao Qiuyue and Ruirui.
It gets dark early in the winter evening. Except for the dim street lights on the street, the shops on both sides have long been closed. Except for the occasional patrol with red armbands, it is difficult to see other people on the street.
The two of them went back to the store first, and waited until after ten o'clock in the evening, when the whole street became completely quiet, then they went out and walked towards the 'Beautiful' clothing store.
