The refrigerator was empty, so Li Wei and Qiu Ci agreed to go to a Chinese-owned supermarket to buy some things during their weekend break. Fortunately, where they live now is not far from Chinatown.
Qiu Ci and the others originally planned to go there by bike, but they met Xiaoyu before they even went out, so they had to change their bike ride to take the bus. Fortunately, the city is not that big and the bus only takes about twenty minutes to get there.
Although the gods are against us, Chinatown is still bustling. Most of the people coming and going here are Chinese, with familiar language and familiar signs. Most of them are restaurants, and there are a few selling souvenirs. They come here every other week, and the owner of the supermarket already knows them well.
"Ma'am, I've already managed to get the sauce you want. It's on the third row of the shelves. You can see it when you look up." The boss said to Li Wei in somewhat broken Mandarin.
When Li Wei heard about it, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you for taking the trouble."
The boss doesn't find it troublesome at all for the sake of making money.
Looking at the familiar packaging, Li Wei almost shed tears. Although it is not as good as the sauce made by his mother, with this sauce it can be regarded as a closer substitute. All dishes can be delicious. stand up.
After buying sauce, noodles, and a bag of rice, it was very difficult for her and Qiu Ci to move these things back, but fortunately, the boss had promised to deliver the goods.
After choosing something and paying for it, the two of them said they would go out for a walk and find a Chinese restaurant to eat. After walking for a few minutes, Qiu Ci suddenly said to Li Wei, "I lost my wallet."
Li Wei asked in surprise: "When did you lose it?"
"It just happened in a split second."
Li Wei remembered, and then a blond man with blue eyes walked towards him. Could it be him. She hurriedly looked back, only to see the man who had just met them looking like he was about to cross the street in a hurry. She threw the bag in her hand to Qiu Ci and said, "Hold it for me, and I'll get your wallet for you."
"Forget it... forget it..." Qiu Ci felt that he didn't want to cause too much trouble in a foreign country.
Before she finished speaking, Li Wei had already rushed out quickly. Just as a car was approaching, he suddenly stopped and a head popped out of the car and cursed a few words. Anyway, the curses were all in English, so Li Wei didn't need to. Go listen carefully, say "sorry" quickly, and then go after the target person. For fear of losing track of the target.
She ran all the way, and the robber ran away when he saw any movement. Li Wei had good willpower and tenacity, but she could not outrun a white man. But she was unlucky and actually forced the robber into a small road. In the alley, the robbers had nowhere to escape. When he saw that she was an Asian girl, he was not afraid at the moment. She was tall but as skinny as a monkey. He grinned and even extended his finger to hook Li Wei, which was full of provocation.
One-on-one, although Li Wei hasn't done anything for a long time, he is very willing to stand up for his friends. She has never forgotten the boxing techniques taught by her master. She boldly approached the past, but before the robber could understand, he was attacked by Li Wei. The sudden move caught him off guard. Unexpectedly, he was killed by an inconspicuous little Asian girl. After all, he underestimated the enemy.
The robber was knocked to the ground, and he still thought about it, but Li Wei hit him with a second move, hitting the man squarely in the nose.
"Give my friend's wallet back!" Li Wei was unusually aggressive.
The robber began to insult Li Wei using country slang. Li Wei glared angrily and said, "Have you not suffered enough yet?"
More and more people came to watch. This is a Chinese area, and overseas Chinese are all one family. Naturally, they don't want to see their compatriots being bullied. What's more, Li Wei is still a woman, so there are well-meaning people who want to stand up for Li Wei. The robber was surrounded by people and had no choice but to throw the wallet he had just snatched on the ground. Li Wei went to pick up his wallet, and the robber took advantage of Li Wei's relaxation and ran away.
Li Wei got his wallet back and didn't pursue it further, but the crowd burst into applause, and some people even praised Li Wei as a "heroine." This title was strange, making Li Wei look helpless.
She found Qiu Ci, returned the wallet to her, and said, "Look what's missing inside."
Qiu Ci opened his wallet and saw that the cash was gone, but all the important documents were there, including the photo. She said with gratitude: "I was very scared when you were going to chase the robber. I was afraid that you would be in trouble, so I lost it when I thought of losing it. I didn't expect that you helped me find it back. Thank you so much." is you."
Li Wei smiled heartily and said: "If you lose something, you should find a way to get it back. You have to pay more attention in the future. We are lucky today. If you encounter a big guy, I am not confident that I can help you get it back."
Qiu Ci then said that she was going to treat him to this meal. Li Wei said, "If you don't have any money, what kind of treat will you use? I'll treat you."
"I'm really causing you trouble."
"Don't say that. We are colleagues and live in the same house. If you say that, you will get angry."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered a Chinese restaurant. Looking at the familiar names of dishes on the wall, Li Wei ordered a dish first, and then asked Qiu Ci to order it.
After the two ordered their dishes, they started waiting.
At this time, I heard the wind chimes hanging by the door ringing. I had opened a restaurant before, and I couldn't help but look up when I heard any movement.
Li Wei took a look and saw two men and one woman coming in. The woman was about 1.6 meters tall and slender. She wore a black cheongsam with red flowers on the bottom, a white shawl outside, and a pair of trousers. sunglasses.
What caught Li Wei's attention was the string of black pearls hanging around the woman's neck. Her vision was unmistakable. A single black pearl necklace like this was worth a lot, let alone a string like this. This woman is quite good at showing off.
The woman also sat down at the next table, and the waiter handed over a thick menu. The woman also took off her sunglasses, but she didn't read the menu. She said calmly: "Bring over your signature dishes." This was considered an order. The other two men remained silent after they sat down, but the woman secretly looked at the small restaurant. She was attracted by the posters on the wall.
The snow-white walls are pasted with propaganda posters of workers, peasants, and soldiers, which seem to take people back to that era all of a sudden.
The woman's eyes met Li Wei's, and Li Wei saw the girl's appearance clearly for the first time. He saw that the girl was about fifty years old, with wavy hair and delicate makeup. The skin is snow white. Although she wears makeup, her foundation is there. She must have been a rare beauty when she was young.
The woman nodded slightly like Li, and quickly looked elsewhere.
This person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. Li Wei searched desperately in her mind for where she had seen this face. After thinking for a while, she finally understood, so she stood up holding on to the table.
