Baker Street Grocery Store [Comprehensive]

While Clara blows her hair out for Nancy the White-Eyed Wolf, the grocery store gets an unexpected visitor.

It's not that unexpected, it's just that Sherlock just moved to 221b in the morning, and it's obviously not in line with his visiting cycle to come here now.

According to Clara's experience, when a customer diligently visits the grocery store, she either falls in love with her, or is very unlucky and encounters difficulties. Since the customer is Mr. Holmes, the probability of the latter is much greater .

The detective's long face was full of displeasure, and Clara asked, "Why, did you encounter trouble?"

"Obviously," replied Sherlock, adding, "Is the rent in Baker Street high?"

"As the owner of the shop, I can tell you responsibly, yes, Mr. Holmes." Clara replied, thinking about his itinerary, and then understood something, "Didn't Mrs. Hudson say that it would be cheaper for you?" ?"

Sherlock nodded: "She tried her best, but it can't be too cheap." Then he looked at Clara's small shop and said, "It seems that all the profits you make are spent on rent." No wonder there is no money to expand storefront.

Clara shrugged: "After all, it's the city center, so the rent issue is understandable."

"Now I'm also worried about the rent." Sherlock said something innocuous, obviously to provoke the next, so Clara looked at him, hoping that he could say something refreshing——

"I need someone who can share the rent with me."

"Earthlings call this a roommate."

"The best one can put up with my weird in and out times, and me playing the violin."

"Earthlings call this a good-natured roommate."

"Clara, you can—"

"Oh, Sherlock, my dear," Clara immediately expressed helplessness, "I can't sell you a good-natured roommate, it's against the law, and a petty citizen like me should think twice before running a red light."

"When did I say I wanted you to sell me a roommate?" Sherlock smiled at her.

Often when he smiles like this, he intends to make Clara do what he wants.Clara's heart was full of alarm bells, but due to her nature, she still honestly fell into the detective routine and asked carefully: "You mean, you hope I can move there and help you share the rent?"

Sherlock gave her an approving look.It seems to be saying, it's not too stupid...

However, Mr. Holmes intends to drag her into the water in this way?No way!When it comes to money, no matter how good-looking people are, they have to stand aside!Even if he promises to give her a set of photo albums!

Clara settled the accounts with him seriously: "Sherlock, my grocery store is a small business. Although the store is small, it has all the internal organs. It can accommodate my daily life. I have decided to live here. I originally rented a house in the suburbs. Going out to collect rent. Therefore, these two sources of income are my source of income. Among them, the rent has to be subsidized to the rent of the shop. In addition, there are various utilities and heating bills. My life is still relatively tight. If I separate the shop from the residence now If it does, I'm afraid I'm going to get the hell out of Baker Street."

Clara speaks very fast, which I learned from Sherlock. After she finished the above long list, she looked at him sincerely: "If I move the shop, during the period when I re-select the location Time, where do you buy your daily necessities?"

Sherlock looked at her, was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Well, now I agree with you."

"What do you say?"

He turned around and looked at all kinds of people passing by on the street and the Christmas atmosphere: "Everyone has their own strengths, and I really don't know how to do business."

"Your smell of copper is really bothering you." Clara sarcastically returned.

In this regard, Mr. Detective is very patient, and will not indulge in quarrels with Clara, and will often seek the best solution: "So, can you introduce me to a good-tempered roommate?"

"I'm really worried that your future wife will also let me introduce you." Clara pouted, "I'll keep an eye out for you, don't worry."

Sherlock nodded. Clara became his personal assistant completely, but it was his style to make full use of resources. He thought of another case, so he said goodbye to Clara and planned to go to another lady who was engaged in forensic medicine.

Seeing that he was leaving, Clara was a little curious: "Where are you going?"

Sherlock stopped and looked back at Clara who was huddled in the store and refused to go out, and did not answer her directly: "What's wrong?"

"It's about time," Clara told him, smiling, resting her chin on her hand, "don't you think it's time for dinner?"

"You don't want to share the rent with me, but you don't stop making friends with me." For the first time, Sherlock couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked her directly, "Who the hell are you? What's your plan?"

"This question is very complicated..." Clara shrugged, "I am the wife of the grocery store owner, I am a master of love, I am a beautiful lady, and I am your financial life advisor. Maybe you and I are fictional, maybe I come from another world. From another world, oh, maybe—maybe you are a character in the game, and I am the player responsible for capturing you, maybe?"

Clara is famous for her unconstrained imagination, and the whole street knows that the proprietress of the grocery store is a beautiful psycho.

"Clara," Sherlock advised, "stop reading those science fiction novels."

"I don't." Clara rebuffed, "Well, if you're really curious, come and have dinner with me tonight to celebrate the festive season, and when we meet next time, I'll answer you a question honestly, how about it? "

Sherlock thought about it: "Deal."

Although it is an unequal transaction, it is a little bit that can be dug up.

Sherlock has seriously analyzed Clara, and her palms have calluses, which means that she has done rough work, which is in line with her identity as the proprietress of a grocery store. Her pretty face and piles of boyfriends are in line with her status as a master of sex hunting, and she knows little about science. She loves watching dramas, movies, and superficial literary works, which is in line with her status as a vulgar citizen.

That's right, that's the problem. Everything she shows on the outside is the identity she confessed to him, but she still shows strange traits from time to time, such as excellent observation skills, toughness Unbelievable strength, insisting on hooking him up, these are all qualities that an ordinary citizen should not have.

At first, he thought that Clara was sent by the annoying brother in the family, but Clara never took the initiative to appear in front of him. Instead, he came to find her from time to time. It is a natural development.Later he thought that Clara was a member of some underground organization, but as she said, she would think twice about running a red light. She was so meticulous that she couldn't have pretended on purpose. So, who is this Miss Cooper? sacred?

He could see through her at a glance, but he knew nothing about her.

Therefore, although it is only possible to dig a little background of this lady, it is still a big temptation.One day, this strange riddle will be solved by him.

However, Clara's thinking became simple and rough again, having dinner at Christmas, this is a date!I have officially known Sherlock for more than a year, and I finally have the opportunity to have a date with the detective!

Due to Christmas, most of the local restaurants are closed for the festival, and only a few Chinese restaurants are open conscientiously. Looking at the sparse restaurants on the street, Clara thinks that there are not many choices, so she simply goes with Sherlock. Chinatown.

Once here, a dazzling array of goods and a lively atmosphere filled the entire street. Asian people walked around with smiles. Sherlock seemed a little displeased with the noise, frowning and following Clara around.

"I'm so naive," Clara said with emotion. "The variety of Chinese food is enough for me to choose for three days and three nights. I thought it would be monotonous before!"

"So it's decided?" Sherlock asked, the noise in his ears really made him unbearable.

"Oh! Let's go there!" Clara excitedly said, "It looks very lively."

Sherlock: "..." He really didn't want to go to crowded places.

But in the end, the two entered a hot pot restaurant with a fairly good business.

The clerk enthusiastically arranged seats for the two, handed wet tissues and mobile phone cases, and even put away the coats for the two thoughtfully, folded them solemnly and put them on the stool, and covered them with a clean cloth to prevent them from being caught by the soup. Juice splashed.

"Are you two lovers?" the waiter asked curiously while the two were ordering.

"Yes!" Clara raised her chin proudly, that's right, she dared to say that in front of her, she was so cheeky.

Sherlock began to regret that he couldn't control his thirst for knowledge for a while, so he left the murder case and came to eat hot pot with her.

The waiter smiled happily and said flatteringly in Chinese: "A man is talented and a woman is beautiful! A natural pair!"

Clara was stunned: "Huh?"

"It means that the two are very compatible." The waiter explained with a smile, then took out the English-Chinese dictionary from the cabinet, and carefully taught Clara how to look up the dictionary and the meaning of these two words. Clara was so immersed in it that she couldn't help herself, holding the dictionary Flipping through the pages, she exclaimed "Oh~" while turning the page, Sherlock had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility of ordering, without much hesitation, ordered a few seafood, and ordered a mandarin duck pot bottom, and waited for the food to be served.

Clara was still staring wide-eyed, holding the dictionary and exclaiming: "Oh~"

Sherlock: "..." How stupid and stupid this is.

He silently warned himself for the 1211th time that he must control his curiosity in front of Clara in the future, and he must not be hooked by her to run away, otherwise the end will be like this.

After a while, the waiter came over with the food. Under the eager gaze of the two British friends, they peeled the shrimp and put it into the pot; Add water to them, and dutifully explain the magical effect of this dish, how to eat it the most delicious, and tie a napkin to Clara so that her clothes will not be splashed with soup.

The waiters in the store gave them royal and aristocratic service.

Finally, all the dishes were put into the pot, and several waiters retreated, leaving one waiter, kindly telling them when and what to eat.

Clara asked curiously: "Are you so enthusiastic about every guest?"

"No~ it's because the lady is very beautiful," the waiter smiled mysteriously at her, "and it's the first time for the two of you, we hope you can have the best dining experience."

The "vulgar citizen" Clara was inevitably coaxed into elation.

Sherlock picked a piece of scallop meat from the hodgepodge rather pickily, put it in his mouth and took a small bite, tasted it carefully, and after a while, finally raised his head and said seriously to Clara: "Delicious !"

Clara: "..." Really?Even the detective, who has always been a non-human eater, said it was delicious? ?

The waiter smiled mysteriously again: "I'm glad you two like it, welcome to our store next time!"

Clara glanced at Sherlock's action of adding shrimps to the plate again, and asked, "Sorry, I didn't notice just now, what's the name of your restaurant?"

"Haidilao, dear~" the waiter said with a smile.

The author has something to say: Haidilao is really good! ! !

The last time I saw the crooked nuts at the next table in the store and shouted It's delicious excitedly!

There is no limit to the brain hole!

As for human beings, there is no OOC-ah! who cares!Enough to have fun watching!Well, I'll try my best to save it...
