[Infinite] End Game

"Hey, speaking of it, our small place can develop thanks to this market. From people who used carts to pull goods more than ten years ago to small bosses like you now, even this back street has thousands of people every day. How about the passenger flow.” The boss pointed to the four dark apartment buildings outside, and said with some pride: “You see, this apartment was also built along with the market, and the old people in the market There is a house, and even the young people who come to work live in it.”

"This market has been around for more than ten years." Tang Yu said with emotion: "I can't tell, it's quite new."

"Hey, hasn't this been renovated a few years ago?" The boss waved his hand, "In the past, half of the goods were sold here and the other was dry textiles. Later, the business improved and the building was too old, so the textile factory was moved to another place. This place is dedicated to wholesale.”

"Boss, you are very familiar with this place." Tang Yu smiled.

"Of course!" The boss flicked his thumb and said confidently: "I have many regular customers here, and the next time the little boss comes to buy goods, he will also come to my shop~"

"Definitely." Tang Yu replied with a smile: "We were also recommended by the girl in charge of sales this time."

"Oh?" The boss was in a good mood, showing his white teeth in a smile, "Recommended by an acquaintance, which little girl is it?"

The groundwork was almost here, Tang Yu turned his attention to Sanhua, and the little girl was very witty at this moment to get Tang Yu's meaning, and immediately said: "It's the store where I bought clothes! What's the name?" ..."

Sanhua frowned and seemed to think about it for a while, then she showed a sudden realization expression, tapped her palm, and said, "That's right! It's called 'idealism'!"

Tang Yu had been paying attention to the boss's reaction from the corner of his eye when Sanhua spoke, so he clearly saw the boss's hand twitch reflexively when he heard the word 'idealism' .

"...Ah, this." The boss squeezed his fingers tightly while showing a stiff smile, and said dryly, "I really can't remember."

Is it strange that you don't know?

Even Sanhua could see that there was definitely something wrong with the reason for the boss's sudden coldness, and Tang Yu could only think more about it than she did.

In such a crowded place, information can easily circulate, because it is almost human nature to pass the time with gossip.

"Only the owner of the food stall knows certain information" is unreasonable in itself.Because if it is really that important, it will not only be in the hands of the boss, and if it is not a big deal, there is no need to hide it from the customers who are chatting.

Therefore, Tang Yu was more inclined to keep secrets that the boss subconsciously kept, which was not a good thing that could not be said.

And obviously, with the boss's cover-up attitude, they can't ask anything for the time being.

Tang Yu turned his attention back to the delicious food, and did not choose to continue asking. They only know the name of the shop now, and if they continue to ask, the vigilant boss may find something unusual. After knowing that there is a problem with the shop, their next step The content of the inquiry can be accurate to the people or things in the store.

It happened that a customer was leaving the store, and the boss hurried back to sit at the front of the counter after a few polite words.At the checkout, I don't know whether it was embarrassment or a guilty conscience. In short, the boss gave them a very low discount. Although his attitude was earnest, it was more like sending a plague god than sending a customer.

After dinner, Tang Yu bought a lot of vegetables and fruits at the roadside stalls. He checked yesterday that the refrigerator and gas were available. Since there were no restaurants during the day, they had to settle for breakfast and fruit by themselves. It's lunch.

"...No, I only know how to make instant noodles and fried rice with eggs." Sanhua Mian muttered disheveledly.Si Nian also looked a little hesitant. Although he didn't say anything, as long as there were no special circumstances, ordinary teenagers obviously couldn't cook.

"You can come to my house to eat." Tang Yu picked up a tomato from the stall and glanced at Chang He at the same time.Seeing Chang He nodded, he smiled easily and threw the tomatoes into the bag.

"I still need to buy some seasonings and instant food products." Tang Yu roughly weighed the recipe in his mind, and then the four of them returned to the supermarket they visited during the day.

Chang He didn't have the habit of eating snacks, and Tang Yu wouldn't eat too much if he didn't stay up late, but Sinian and Sanhua took a lot, and Tang Yu settled the bill in the end.

"Do you want a receipt?" The little brother in charge of the checkout took the receipt.

"Yes." Tang Yu replied, and after taking the bill, he didn't pay attention to the price but glanced at the time at the bottom.

Written on August 8th.

There are still 8 days until August 25th.

Tang Yu handed the bill to Chang He, and everyone felt a little heavy after looking through it.

At this moment, the wind chime at the entrance of the supermarket rang, and a man and a woman opened the door and came in. When he saw Tang Yu, the man obviously hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Tang Yu as a greeting.

"Hello." Tang Yu also greeted, these two people have met during the day, one is Chef Zhang with cat hair coming out of his trousers, and the other is the woman who scolded him when she found him falling behind.

"What are you still dawdling about?" The woman's tone was very impatient, she glanced at Tang Yu and the others, and raised her voice and said to Chef Zhang, "Are you waiting for me to get it?"

The woman looks like she is almost 30, her face is not very good-looking, but her makeup is very delicate, her exquisite figure is wrapped under light and thin clothes, and her whole person exudes a mature and gorgeous charm.

It's just that the personality is not very pleasing.

The woman arrogantly ordered Chef Zhang to get what she wanted to eat, but she stood at the door with her arms folded.Noticing Sanhua's gaze, she raised one slender eyebrow and snorted at the little girl: "What are you looking at?"

Sanhua shook her head quickly and shrank behind Tang Yu.

While speaking, Chef Zhang had already walked out of the shelves with a shopping basket, and Tang Yu made way for him at the counter.It's just that when he saw the man stretching his arms behind his back and trying to scratch his back through his clothes while waiting for the checkout, Tang Yu asked one more question: "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Ah?" Chef Zhang looked up at him in confusion, still scratching his back, and said, "No..."

"Well, be more careful." Tang Yu watched Chef Zhang's movements carefully. He could even hear the "sand" sound of his fingernails scratching his skin. If he continued with this force, his skin would soon be scratched. .Tang Yu thought for a while before adding, "Especially cats."

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" It seems that because the itching on the back has not been relieved, Tang Yu's words made Chef Zhang very irritable, he let out a rough breath, and said loudly: "I said it all I don’t know what cats are! You are not sick!!”

"He wants us to die!" The proud woman screamed, but they certainly couldn't take advantage of Tang Yu and Chang He, a man and a woman who didn't look very annoying at first sight, so she just turned her face away. Chef Zhang, and scolded: "Hurry up and leave!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out, but, not too far away, Tang Yu saw the woman through the glass trembling in discomfort, and the next second, she also put her hands behind her back, her hands stained with wine-red nail polish The long and pointed fingers unconsciously grabbed at her own back.
