Chapter 37 Waiting For Me
Taking it without asking is considered stealing.
Chu Xuan specially gave steps to the person who stole the scale, and shouted again, "Whoever borrowed my scale, please return it to me now!"
No one in the surrounding stalls responded.
Curse yourself for being careless.
This scale belongs to Grandpa Wang.
Many years old scale.
It can be passed down to future generations as antiques.
But we can't just lose it.
Chu Xuan was very sure that someone had seen someone take a scale and took out a dollar from his pocket, "Anyone who provides clues and helps me find the scale will be rewarded with a dollar!"
The woman selling fish at the stall next door hesitated to speak. She glanced at the other side and finally chose not to say anything. Her husband even gently tugged on her sleeve to signal her to stay out of her own business.
This scene fell into Chu Xuan's eyes.
Opposite is a man who sells shrimp skins. He has dark skin and looks honest and honest. But in his heart, he can't tell! Chu Xuan walked straight to the stall opposite, "Boss, have you seen my scale?"
"No. I'm so busy, I don't have time to look at your booth, go ask elsewhere!"
The man selling shop skin looked impatient.
Chu Xuan's eyes fell on the snakeskin bag beside him, there must be a steelyard hidden in it, because she saw a little hook of the scale.
Shameless, Chu Xuan planned to tear his face apart, "Since no one admits to borrowing my scale, it seems to be stealing! Only if you steal it, you dare not admit it! Just now I saw the security team patrolling nearby, please ask them It’s good to come and judge!”
At this time, Mu Chenze happened to walk over. When he heard this, he immediately agreed, "I'll call someone! Just watch this way."
Turn around and run outside.
Chu Xuan stared at the man selling shrimp skins.
The man felt a little guilty and put his hand on the snakeskin bag, trying to move his position.
Chu Xuan deliberately shouted, "Whoever touches it will know who stole it!"
The man's hand immediately retracted.
After a while, Mu Chenze came over with two security officers.
"Comrade, this lesbian's scale was stolen."
Chu Xuan pointed to the man selling shrimp skins, "I suspect he stole my scale. It's in a snakeskin bag!"
The man quibbled, "I didn't steal it! There was no scale in the snakeskin bag!"
Chu Xuan sneered, "The scale hook is exposed, and you still say it's not there?"
The man looked down and saw that the scale hook was really exposed.
"I misremembered. I brought two steelyards to set up a stall today, isn't that okay? One steelyard weighed things over ten kilograms, and the other weighed things under ten kilograms! The snakeskin bag scale is for weighing things over ten kilograms. I haven't yet I met a big client, so I didn’t take it out.”
The security officer stepped forward and took out a steel scale from the snakeskin bag.
Chu Xuan recognized it at a glance as belonging to Grandpa Wang's family.
He immediately suggested to the security officer, "Comrade, I can write down the characteristics of the steelyard and the weight. Please ask this man selling shop skin to write down too."
Whoever writes the right characteristics belongs to that person.
Seeing that Chu Xuan was so confident, the security personnel naturally trusted her more, "You two come back to the office with me."
Chu Xuan said without hesitation, "Okay."
The man who sold shrimp skins started to play a rogue, "I can't write, whoever delays my business will compensate me for the loss! Give me 30 yuan, and I will follow, otherwise I will not leave!"
Resolutely not to go.
Finally, one of the security officers ran back to the office to get pen and paper and delivered it over.
The man selling shrimp skins insisted that he could not write, so Chu Xuan first wrote down the characteristics of the scales and weights, handed them to the security personnel, and then asked the man selling shrimp skins to express them verbally.
The man selling shop skin kept saying the same thing back and forth, "It's an old scale. It can weigh up to thirty kilograms. It has two scales, one big and one small."
Chu Xuan provided many features. There were scratches on the scale beam, three black spots under the scale weight, and there was a chili smell on the scale hook...
Eventually, the scales were found.
The man who sold shrimp skins was taken away for education, and his shrimp skins were also taken away.
Chu Xuan put the scale and the basket into the backpack and carried it on her back.
After walking out of the market, Mu Chenze realized that the number of backpacks was wrong and said with concern, "I remember there were two backpacks when I came..."
Chu Xuan interrupted with a warm voice, "I gave it to a big customer. Have you finished delivering the goods?"
"The delivery is over. I only chartered the truck I came with, not the return trip. Brother Lin stayed in the city to pick up the work. We'll take the bus back later."
"Okay." Chu Xuan deliberately lowered his voice, "Could you please quietly call the eldest sister from the stall next to me to the women's restroom, she helped me just now."
Without the reminder from her eyes just now, Chu Xuan would not have been able to lock on to the thief so quickly.
It can be regarded as providing clues, and one yuan should be given.
But give it privately, lest she be retaliated by the man who sells shrimp skins.
Mu Chenze is a smart man who understands everything, "No problem. I will make an appointment for you without leaving any trace."
Chu Xuan walked towards the market office, and Mu Chenze returned to the market without looking for the woman directly.
Instead, he went to someone nearby who was busy selling clams and asked, "Comrade, I need to pee. Can you take me to the toilet?"
The man didn't even raise his head, "I'm busy, I don't have time! Ask someone else!"
Mu Chenze ran to the woman's booth anxiously, looked at her husband, "Brother, can you take me to the bathroom? I can't hold it anymore."
At the same time, with his back turned to other people, he winked at the couple and extended a finger.
The woman looked surprised and nodded sharply, "I'll take you there!"
A few minutes later, Chu Xuan saw the woman in the women's restroom and gave her a dollar.
I also learned that her name is Lian Mei and she is 30 years old this year. The man who sells shrimp skin is named Zhang Dong. He is a man who must retaliate for his anger.
Lian Mei told Chu Xuan that she must pay attention to personal safety when she comes to the city in the future, Zhang Dong is very likely to retaliate against her.
Chu Xuan thanked her before walking out of the toilet.
Lian Mei stayed in the toilet for a few more minutes before going out.
At this moment, Chu Xuan has reached an agreement with Liu Chao on cooperation.
From now on, as long as they are customers introduced by Liu Chao, they will be charged five cents per catty.
Yuan Yueban, who was introduced today, bought 96 kilograms and should pay Liu Chao a commission of four and eight yuan. Chu Xuan paid for it with five kilograms of grilled fish fillets.
In fact, Liu Chao made a profit.
After all, five pounds of grilled fish fillets cost more than eight yuan.
Chu Xuan left the phone number of the village office for Liu Chao, who can be contacted in case of emergency.
Ten minutes later, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze were sitting in front of a wonton stall, drinking wontons and eating egg pancakes brought from home.
Before coming to find Chu Xuan, Mu Chenze took the initiative and gave Brother Lin three egg pancakes. He ate a few of them and now there are four left.
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze each got two.
Mu Chenze paid for the wontons.
Chu Xuan also wanted to pay for the treat, but unfortunately he couldn't get it from him.
I sold it for 378 yuan today, I tasted it when I sold it, and I met a big customer, so I earned a little less than expected.
But you can go home early and rest.
After buying twenty steamed meat buns, she and Mu Chenze took the bus back to the county seat.
Yesterday's steamed meat buns were only given to the Wang family.
Chu Xuan planned to give six to Ji Ping and Mu Chenze each today, two to Liu Zhaodi, one to Widow Wang, and the rest belonged to his younger brother.
After getting off the bus at the county seat and waiting for the bus back to town, Chu Xuan handed out twelve steamed buns to Mu Chenze, "You and Ji Ping share them."
Mu Chenze didn't answer, but smiled, "Thank you! I've accepted it. Wait for me here. Hold the steamed bun for me first. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Before Chu Xuan could respond, he had already run away...
