Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager
Chapter 290: Chinatown
The refrigerator was empty, and Li Wei and Qiu Ci agreed to go back to a Chinese supermarket to buy something during the weekend. Fortunately, they live here not far from Chinatown.
Chiu Ci and the others were planning to go there by bike, but they met Xiaoyu before they left home, so they had to change from riding to a bus. Fortunately, the city is not too big, and the bus can reach the ground in just twenty minutes.
Although Tiangong is not beautiful, Chinatown is still bustling. Most of the people who come and go here are Chinese, with familiar languages and familiar signs. Most of them are restaurants, and there are a few shops selling souvenirs. They come here every other week. The owner of that supermarket has already recognized them.
"Madam, I have already figured out how to get the sauce you want. The third row of the shelf inside, you can see it when you look up." The boss said to Li Wei in a bit of crappy Mandarin.
Li Wei heard that he was busy saying thanks: "Thank you, I'm bothered."
The boss doesn't find it bothersome for the sake of making money.
Looking at the familiar packaging, Li Wei's tears were about to fall. Although it is not as good as the sauce made by his mother, but with this sauce, it can be regarded as a closer substitute, and any dishes can become delicious stand up.
I bought the sauce, noodles, and a bag of rice. It was very difficult for her and Chiu Ci to move this pile of things back, but fortunately, the boss promised to deliver them before.
After choosing something and paying for it, the two said to go out for a stroll and find another Chinese restaurant for dinner. Within a few minutes after leaving, Qiu Ci suddenly said to Li Wei, "I lost my wallet."
Li Wei was surprised: "When did you lose it?"
"Just a moment ago."
Li Wei remembered, and then came a blond man, could it be him. She hurriedly looked back, but saw that the man who had just met them was about to cross the street in a hurry. She threw the bag in her hand to Qiu Ci, and said, "You can hold it for me, and I will get the wallet for you."
"Forget it... Forget it..." Qiu Ci felt that he didn't want to cause too much trouble abroad.
Before she could finish her words, Li Wei rushed out quickly, just as a car drove up. There was a sudden stop at the time, and a head poked out of it, with a few curses. Anyway, the curses were all in English, and Li Wei didn't use it. Go listen carefully, quickly say "sorry" and then chase the target person. For fear of losing the target.
She galloped all the way, and the robber ran away when he saw movement. Li Wei had good willpower and good tenacity, but she could not run a white man, but she was unlucky and forced the robber to a small In the alley, the robbers had nowhere to escape. He saw that he was a little Asian girl, and he was not afraid at the moment. He was tall but as thin as a monkey. He grinned at this moment and even hooked Li Wei with his fingers, full of provocation.
One-to-one, although he hasn't done anything for a long time, Li Wei is very willing to make his friends. She hadn't forgotten all the martial arts taught by her master. She approached the past boldly. Before the robber could understand, she was confronted by Li Wei. The sudden move caught him off guard. She didn't expect to be counter-killed by an inconspicuous Asian girl. She still underestimated the enemy.
The robber was thrown to the ground, he still remembered, but Li Wei faced him with the second move, which was impartial and hit the man's nose.
"Give back my friend's wallet!" Li Wei was rarely aggressive.
The robbers began to insult Li Wei in rural slang, and Li Wei angrily said, "Isn't he still suffering enough?"
More and more people came to watch. This is a Chinese area. Overseas Chinese are a family. Naturally, no compatriots are being bullied. What's more, Li Wei is still a woman, so there are kind people who want to come forward for Li Wei. The robber was surrounded by groups of people, it was really impossible, so he had to throw the wallet he had just snatched on the ground. Li Wei went to pick up his wallet, and the robber ran away while Li Wei relaxed.
Li Wei took back his wallet and did not pursue any further investigations, but applause broke out from the crowd. Someone even praised Li Wei as a "woman." This strange name made Li Wei look helpless.
She found Qiu Ci, returned her wallet, and said, "Look what's missing in it."
Qiu Ci opened his wallet and found that the cash was gone, but all the important documents were there, and the picture was there. She gratefully said: "I was very scared when you were going to chase the robbers. I was afraid that I would be exhausted. If I thought of losing it, I lost it. I didn't expect you to find it for me. Thank you so much. is you."
Li Wei smiled heartily: "If you lose something, you should find a way to get it back. You have to pay more attention in the future. Today is our luck. If we run into a big guy, I'm not confident I can get it back for you."
Qiu Ci said that she would treat this meal, and Li Wei said, "If you don't have any money, I will treat you."
"It's really causing you trouble."
"Quickly don't say that. Everyone is a colleague and lives in the same house. If you say that, you will have a good time."
The two chatted and laughed and entered a Chinese restaurant. Looking at the familiar names of dishes on the wall, Li Wei first ordered a dish, and then asked Qiu Ci to order it.
The two ordered the food and waited.
At this time, I heard the wind bell hanging by the door rang. I had also opened a restaurant before, and I could not help but look up when I heard any movement.
Li Wei took a look, and came in. Two men and a woman came in. The woman was about 1.6 meters tall. She was slender and wore a black cheongsam printed with red flowers. She was covered in a white cloak and wearing a big sunglasses.
What attracted Li Wei's gaze was the string of black pearls hanging on the woman's neck. Her vision could not go wrong. A black pearl necklace like this is also very valuable, let alone such a string. This woman will show off.
The woman also sat down at the table next door, and the waiter handed over a thick recipe. The woman also took off her sunglasses, but she didn't read the recipe, and said lightly: "Bring your signature dishes to the table." This is considered to have been ordered. The other two men remained silent after sitting down, but the woman secretly looked at this small restaurant. She was attracted by the poster on the wall.
Propaganda posters of workers, peasants and soldiers were posted on the snow-white walls, as if they had once again taken people to that era.
The woman’s eyes met Li Wei’s. Li Wei saw the girl’s face for the first time, but saw that the girl was about fifty years old, with a wavy head and delicate makeup. The skin is white. Although I painted makeup, but the foundation is there, it should be a rare beauty when I was young.
The woman was like Li Wei, nodding slightly, and quickly looked away again.
This person is somewhat familiar, but he seems to have seen him somewhere. Li Wei searched desperately in her mind about where exactly this face had been seen. After thinking for a while, she finally understood, so she stood up while supporting the table.
