On this day, Liang Tian took orders and delivered takeout as usual.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, I grabbed an order with a lot of commission, but before I could be happy, I couldn't help but frown after seeing the note clearly;
"Let me go...why did I meet a strange person again?"
I saw that the order note said this;
[I would like to advise the delivery boy not to take any other orders after he takes my order. It’s hard to find my place. If it’s timed out, don’t blame me for not reminding you. If the meal is cold, you’ll leave a bad review!]
Looking at the address of the order, it says;
Snow village gathering!
As a delivery boy who has been running food delivery in City L for more than three years, Liang Tian naturally knows the Xuezhuang Market. It is really a big market.
The Xuezhuang Fair is held every 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th of the lunar calendar. The market is nearly ten miles long vertically and horizontally!
With such a large venue, you can imagine how many people are required to set up stalls and how many people go to the market. The total number is expected to be at least tens of thousands!
For this order, just write a large collection of Xuezhuang, and then ask the delivery boy to find it. This is not a delivery, it is just like looking for a needle in a haystack, right?
At one point, Liang Tian wanted to just transfer the order, but he thought that no one who wanted to take the order would want to take it.
But if the dispatcher wants to receive the order, he cannot refuse it and has to bite the bullet and deliver it.
Liang Tian, who has worked as a full-time delivery boy, knows best the pain of delivering orders.
So after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and made up his mind;
"Okay! Don't keep this kind of weird order to harm other delivery brothers. They will have a harder time than me."
After saying that, Liang Tian decisively went to the store to pick up the food, and indeed did not take any other orders. He was really afraid that it would delay other normal orders.
After getting the meal, he headed towards the Xuezhuang Market as quickly as possible. When he was still a few blocks away from the market, Liang Tian dialed the customer's number in advance.
"Hello, I am the rider who delivers food to you. Now I am almost at the snow village for the gathering. Where is your specific location?"
On the phone, a woman's voice came out. Her voice was a bit thick, but you could tell that she wasn't too old, it was just that her voice was thick;
"My location is Xuezhuang Daji. Didn't you, a delivery person, read the address on the order? Why did you call me to ask?"
When Liang Tian heard this, several black lines slid down his forehead, but he still said patiently;
"I looked at the list, and I know it's the Snow Village Fair. It's just that the Snow Village Fair is too big, so I need a more specific location from you."
"Look if there is a roadside store nearby, the house number, etc. If there is one, tell me, that way it will be easier to find."
The woman paused, probably looking around, and answered after a moment;
"There is no store, house number, etc. Anyway, after you come here, you can find someone and ask."
Hearing this, there were more black lines on Liang Tian's head;
"No...there are tens of thousands of people attending the event. Who should I ask on the street? Everyone knows you? What do you do?"
The woman's voice was slightly impatient;
"Oh, if you just ask anyone, just ask for the tofu seller, they will definitely know me."
Liang Tian was suddenly surprised;
"Are you so famous in this snow village for selling tofu? Anyone can know you if you just ask me?"
The woman was completely impatient this time. While her volume increased, her voice also became thicker;
"Why do you talk so much about delivering food? Just do whatever I ask you to do! Send the food over quickly, I'm almost starving!"
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone.
Liang Tian, who didn't get the specific location information, could only follow what the woman said. After entering the Xuezhuang Fair, he started looking for people on the street.
"Hello, do you know if we have a tofu seller in this episode?"
The uncle carrying the pole stopped and thought for a while;
"The tofu seller..."
Liang Tian looked at him like this and felt
I feel like I am having fun, I think;
"It seems that the customer who sells tofu is not trying to bully me. She is quite famous in this snow village. If you just ask anyone, you will know."
"I guess the tofu must be very delicious. Then when the takeout is delivered, I will have to buy two pieces to try..."
However, just when Liang Tian heard the next answer with full hope.
The old man carrying the pole, who had been thinking for a long time, shook his head and said;
"have no idea."
Hearing this answer, Liang Tian almost fell to the ground with both the person and the car.
Then, he quickly held the electric car, stabilized the helmet with one hand, and asked helplessly the uncle carrying the pole;
"Uncle, if you don't know, just say you don't know. Why do you think about it for so long?"
The uncle replied seriously;
"Oh, I'm just a little tired from walking. You happened to be talking to me, so I'll stop and rest for a while."
"..." Liang Tian was speechless for a while, and the uncle met his eyes without saying anything.
After a long while, Liang Tian finally said something;
"Okay, uncle, just rest, I'll go ask someone else."
Before he finished speaking, Liang Tian took the first step, and the uncle still called him to persuade him to stay;
"No more chatting? Let's take a break..."
Liang Tian really didn't have time to rest with the uncle. After walking a certain distance, he found another vegetable stall and asked;
"Auntie, do you know that we have a tofu seller in this episode?"
The vegetable seller was playing with a few handfuls of celery in front of her, and looked up at Liang Tian with a smile;
"Look at this celery. It's so tender. It'll be delicious when you stir-fry it at home."
Hearing this, Liang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized;
"Okay, then give me a handful."
In his heart, Liang Tianze was thinking;
"That's right. It's indeed a bit impolite to just ask people questions without buying anything. When this aunt mentioned celery, the subtext must be that she only told you after you bought it."
"It shouldn't be a big problem this time. The celery I bought won't be wasted. I'll improve the food a little for dinner. I'll make some fried beef with celery and it'll be delicious..."
However, when Liang Tian bought the celery and paid the money, he eagerly waited for his aunt to tell him the answer.
But the aunt also looked at him eagerly and asked after a long time;
"What's wrong? What else do you want to buy? Potatoes are not bad today..."
Hearing this, Liang Tian almost knocked down the man and the car again.
After holding him up, he waved his hands politely but awkwardly, with a stiff smile on his face;
"Auntie, I live alone in my house. This celery is enough for dinner. You'd better tell me where the tofu seller is. I'm really anxious to deliver takeaway to her."
As a result, the aunt turned her ear, held it with her hand, and said loudly;
"What did you say? How many pounds of potatoes do you want?"
Seeing this, Liang Tian took a deep breath, and there was a voice in his heart that was going crazy;
"Good guy! I just said so much, but Auntie didn't hear a word of it!"
"The handful of celery I bought... I made it myself! I really should have read the almanac before going out today..."
After going crazy in his heart, Liang Tian still held on to the last glimmer of hope, leaned his upper body forward, and said loudly;
"Say! Auntie! Do you know that there is a tofu seller in this episode?"
Liang Tian now hopes that this aunt is deaf, but looks like a kind person.
If she knew the tofu seller, she would probably tell herself that the celery was not free after all...
However, Liang Tian's hope was shattered in the end. The aunt heard it clearly this time, but immediately shook her head;
"A tofu seller? I don't know, I don't know..."
Although he encountered two consecutive setbacks, Liang Tian still did not give up, and then asked several more people.
Liang Tian; "Hello, do you know if we have a sale on this episode?
Tofu?"
The fish seller said: "Sold out, let's go."
Liang Tian; "Ah? Sold out and left?"
Fish seller: "Yes, there was an old man selling it just next to me, and he left after he finished selling it."
Liang Tian: "Oh, that's not it. Do you know any other tofu sellers?"
The fish seller; "I don't know."
Liang Tian; "Hello, sir, there is a tofu seller in this episode. Do you know where it is?"
Liquor seller: "There are several tofu sellers in this episode, which one are you talking about?"
Liang Tian; "The woman is young, probably no more than thirty years old, but she speaks in a rather rough voice..."
The wine seller said: "Young man, is this tofu seller you are talking about a serious tofu seller?"
Liang Tian; "Ah? Uncle, what do you mean?"
Liquor seller: "I have been selling wine for more than ten years since this episode. I know there are several tofu sellers here, but I have never seen a woman selling them here."
Liang Tian; "Uh... I'm sorry to bother you."
Liang Tian; "Hello, do you often go to this market? Do you know there is a tofu seller here? ...Female."
Passerby: "I don't like tofu, I don't know."
After asking countless people in this way, Liang Tian still couldn't find out the specific location of the customer selling tofu.
There was even a time when he wondered if he had heard or read wrong, so he took out the order and checked it over and over again, wondering to himself;
"That's right, the name on the order is "Ms." and I'm sure the voice I heard on the phone was a woman's voice."
"Oh my god! Where is she?!"
Liang Tian, who was about to be driven crazy, dialed the customer's number again.
"Sister, I've been asking around, but no one knows you. You're not famous enough."
The woman said in a disbelieving tone;
"When you inquired, did you say you were looking for me, a tofu seller? I am a well-known tofu celebrity nearby, how could no one know me?"
The black lines on Liang Tian’s forehead were almost a mess;
"I asked no less than ten people, including an old man who has been operating in this market for more than ten years, and they all said they had never known a woman selling tofu here!"
"I'm begging you, just tell me where you are!"
After a pause, Liang Tian continued patiently;
"So, tell me, what iconic things are around you? Where are you on that thing?"
This time, Tofu Xishi answered quite quickly;
"On the left."
Liang Tian seemed to see hope again and said hurriedly;
