Chapter 161 Grandma, It’s Time to Get the Eggs
When Boss Qian learned that the three people at the radio station were so "busy" that they still hadn't found a place to live, he extended a warm invitation.
"If you don't mind it, you can come and stay at my house."
It is quite non-standard Mandarin, and the enthusiasm revealed in it is not adulterated at all.
Five hundred pounds of eggs is indeed a lot for an ordinary family, but as a merchant, you really can't make much money.
But this was a friend from the provincial capital radio station, and he was still working for the welfare of the local elderly. After making a phone call to his family, Boss Hu turned off the lights and took the three of them home.
I saw the villa in the evening and stayed in it that night.
After entering the door, there is a large yard with some flowers and plants planted in it.
The pet dog at home knows how to read the eyes very well. When he saw that he was entering the door with his owner, he not only stopped barking, but also came forward to ask for a pet, wagging his tail.
Once inside, it gives the impression that it is spacious, bright, and has a bit more of a sense of life.
"Hello"
In the huge three-story building, only Boss Hu's wife and parents were at home. The two children were on summer vacation and went to play at their aunt's house in the county town.
"Come, have some tea, dinner will be ready in a while."
Even if Miss Zeng Li and Zhao took off her hat, the other party did not recognize it, which made the three of them feel relieved and enjoy the moment leisurely.
"This is Tieguanyin. It has a rich fragrance and a sweet aftertaste."
Hearing Ning Zhou's compliment, Boss Hu's face was filled with smiles.
"My friend is a tea maker and brought some to me. You can like it.
Later, you can stay on the second floor. There are empty rooms with clean quilt covers and air conditioning. "
"I'm sorry to trouble you so much." Miss Zhao expressed her sincere thanks.
"We usually don't have many guests at home. When someone comes, it becomes more lively."
Zeng Li put down her teacup and glanced at the busy figures in the kitchen.
"Boss Hu, do you usually eat so late?"
Lao Hu turned around and said, "I usually close the stall after seven o'clock. Isn't today a special occasion?"
After chatting all over the place for a while, dinner was served.
"Is this your home cooking?"
Zhao Lushi was very surprised. The dishes on the table were basically seafood, including crabs bigger than a palm, steamed fish, boiled shrimps, and oyster omelette.
In the magic city, there is no one or two thousand people at this table, and it is impossible to get down.
"It's definitely richer than usual." Boss Hu was surprised when he saw the customer, and he felt happy in his heart: "We are near the seaside in Daitou. These are wild-caught seafood, which tastes very good. Come and try it."
Then, despite the three people's excuses, they opened a bottle of red wine.
As a businessman, he is a good talker, and with Ning Zhou cooperating by the side, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal.
And my sister-in-law, who got up earlier, went upstairs at some point and tidied up all the empty rooms.
"You have to get up early tomorrow, so you should also go to bed early."
Ning Zhou waited until eleven o'clock and quietly came to the two girls' room. The other girl was not sleeping either and was waiting.
After closing the door, I stayed there for eighteen and a half minutes before returning to the room.
As for the pursuers, they were spread across seven towns and villages, so naturally there was no gain.
However, Huang Lei and Zhang Ruonan also came to Daitou Town at around 7 p.m. and stayed in a local hotel.
After a wordless night, it was six o'clock in the morning on the eighth day.
Ning Zhou was woken up by the alarm clock and opened the door without even opening his eyes. Miss Zhao next door did the same thing. The two of them did not speak. The latter pointed to the bathroom and signaled the other party to go first.
When the three of them went downstairs, they realized that Boss Hu had already gone to the store. Last night, the agreed time was half past six.
"It's okay. Have breakfast. I'll drive you there in a minute. It only takes ten minutes, so you can make it in time."
It is not unreasonable for someone in his early forties to live in such a big villa.
The three of them stopped procrastinating. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, they hurried to the market.
Xiaojie, eighteen years old, is about to be a freshman. In a few days, he will report to school.
Although he lives by the sea, not everyone in Daitou lives in the sea. There are three generations of pig butchers in his family.
When it comes to Xiaojie's generation, he will naturally not inherit the mantle when he goes to college, but he has heard from childhood that although he still doesn't know how to kill pigs, he often helps at the stall.
There were a lot of people going to the market today, so my grandfather got up at about three o'clock and got two big fat pigs. He rode a tricycle with them to the market in Daitou.
Before dawn, the bosses of various stalls were already busy.
Xiaojie helped his grandfather and began to break down the pork.
When the preparations were almost complete, it was dawn and my stomach was growling.
When he came back from buying breakfast, he found that the market was a little different from usual. The two stairs on the left and right of the second floor were blocked, and two roll-ups were erected on the side.
Xiaojie didn't pay attention and returned to the stall.
"Ajie,"
Grandpa pointed to the edge of the stairs.
"Lao Qiu just said that at seven o'clock, someone will hand out eggs. Those over fifty years old can receive five eggs per person."
"You can't be a liar, right?" This was Xiaojie's first reaction.
"Lao Zhan from the market told him how he could be a liar, and the street office would also come over."
"Okay, you can pick it up later while I watch the stall."
"Can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that there was already a queue in front of the stairs, Grandpa couldn't sit still, so he took breakfast and went to queue.
As a young man, Xiaojie doesn't understand why eggs are so attractive to the elderly, but he supports them.
"Dear fellow villagers and elders."
At 6:55, the market was already very busy. Not only vendors but also many customers came to grab something new.
After a few whistles from a loudspeaker hung somewhere, a sound came.
"At 7:20, a charity event to care for the elderly will be held on the second floor. The provincial radio station has prepared 5,000 eggs for the elderly in our Daitou."
The broadcast was in Putian dialect, which Ning Zhou and his three companions could not understand.
The time was set by the staff of the street office.
Originally, he said 6:30, but the other party was speechless. 6:30 was too early. No customers came yet.
You are doing a good deed, but you are still worried about how many people there are. After bargaining, you decided to put it at 7:20.
The original 500 kilograms, converted into the number, is almost 5,000. The reason for changing the unit is that it sounds more.
As expected of a job, the situation came up in an instant.
When Ning Zhou and his three companions arrived, the other party even asked if they wanted to say a few words or hold a ceremony, but they were directly rejected.
I just want to do a good deed in a low-key manner and then run away.
He was quite satisfied with the scene.
The market staff was very responsible. According to Ning Zhou's idea, he went up the stairs on the left, got the autographs and eggs, and went down the other side, guarded by a special person.
The purpose of doing this is very simple, mainly for safety.
If the elderly are injured accidentally because of the task, it will be bad.
Of course, it is also for their own safety.
It would be strange if the news did not reach the ears of the pursuers in such a big scene!
Therefore, Ning Zhou handed the task of signing to the two girls, and he took a gun and covered on the second floor.
"There are more and more people, how about we start first?"
Downstairs, the team has lined up to the door. A rough calculation shows that there are two or three hundred people in total, and people keep joining in after learning about the situation.
Although preparations were made in advance, there were staff on the second floor, the first floor, and between the teams to help maintain order, but the scene was so big that Ning Zhou was a little panicked.
"That's fine!" The director of the street office was also worried that a good thing would turn into a bad thing: "Comrade Xiaoning, you see so many people have come, can you tell your leader to add some."
"Sure, tell Boss Hu and get another 3,000 eggs.
However, how about you take over the distribution work later?"
"That's embarrassing. No problem!"
As the broadcast sounded, the egg-giving activity officially started.
"Yes, yes, five eggs, you also have to take this signature, otherwise I won't give it to you"
"Grandma, only five, the signature can be given to your children."
"Don't crowd, don't cut in line"
"Watch your feet."
"Walk slowly"
Instantly, Miss Zhao and Zeng Li became busy.
Signing is commonplace for them, but it's the first time to sign for a group of old men and women in the market.
Especially, you have to keep explaining that the signatures must be taken away.
In the market, there are not only old people, but also many young people. Xiaojie greeted the guests while looking at the lively second floor. Soon the first uncle who got the eggs came over.
"Give me what this is."
He came to Xiaojie's booth.
"Oh, it looks like an autograph, this is Zhao. Zhao. Lushi?!"
After understanding it, he looked at the second floor with a shocked face.
"The one who signed up is Zhao Lushi."
After shouting several times in a row, some young people were already trying to squeeze forward.
I forgot to mention the size of Lao Zhan, 1.8 meters tall, 220 kilograms, when he saw people coming over, he instantly turned himself sideways and picked up the horn in his hand.
"Don't squeeze, people who are not over 50 years old are not allowed to go up!"
"Do you know who is up there?"
Someone has already recognized it.
"It's Zhao Lushi, is Ning Zhou also there?"
"Hurry up and notify the pursuers, there's a 50,000 yuan bonus."
"Fuck, a star, fuck."
Ning Zhou frowned, it's only been a short time, and he was discovered, the speed is a bit fast.
"Are they stars?"
Soon, the street office also heard the news.
"Yes," Ning Zhou did not intend to hide it at this time: "Zeng Li, Zhao Lushi, see if you can find more people to help, the scene is a bit chaotic."
"Okay!"
"Wait," Ning Zhou thought about it: "Tell the staff guarding the stairs that no matter who they are, they must not be allowed to go up to the second floor. If grandpa and grandma are injured, we can't bear this responsibility!"
"I understand, don't worry."
The market was noisy, and with the shouts of fans, it was even more chaotic.
Who said that Putian people don't chase stars, liars!
"Okay, I'll call and get someone!"
Ning Zhou didn't care about anything else at this time. He looked at the count on his watch, 31, and there were 467 people left.
Five minutes, 31 people, the speed was a bit slow.
"Hurry up, no matter how many, just put the autograph in your hand, no need to explain!"
Ning Zhou went to the two of them and reminded them.
"Where is the pursuer?"
The pursuer is already on the way.
Last night, Huang Lei and the others didn't go to bed early.
After arriving at Daitou at around 7 o'clock, they pretended to be tourists, rented a tricycle, and wandered around the town.
It was all based on luck, so there was nothing wrong with this way of searching.
After finding nothing, they returned to the hotel and held a meeting with the team members and the headquarters to summarize today's clues.
Unfortunately, no one found anything.
This is normal. It is unlikely that the fugitives will walk around the street openly for you to see.
In the absence of more clues, the headquarters decided to let everyone continue to hold on for a while.
Huang Shengli inferred that Ning Zhou and others' mission might start around noon.
Because at two o'clock this afternoon, the fugitives in the Magic City will receive a new mission. The smart way is naturally to carry out both sides at the same time, so that the manpower and attention of their own side can be dispersed.
Although his inference was completely wrong, there was no problem under the premise of limited clues.
Huang Shengli did not know that Ning Zhou had set the mission point at Daitou in order to test Wei Cheng, and knowing that the pursuer was nearby, he could only proceed as soon as possible without considering his teammates for the time being.
As a result, Huang Lei and Zhang Ruonan, who were tired all day, did not get up early.
Instead, after receiving the call from the headquarters, they did not even bother to wash their faces. After going to the toilet, they hurried to the market.
Similarly, other teammates were also rushing to Daitou.
The clues were clear, Zhao Lushi and Zeng Li were there.
However, if the nearest members leave now, it will take at least half an hour to reach Daitou.
"After you go there, check the situation. When you see Ning Zhou, you can kill him directly. The other two must be arrested!"
The two ladies are currently only Class C wanted criminals, so they cannot take action directly.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the outskirts of the market. Without caring about anything else, they parked the car casually on the side of the road, and then entered the crowd.
"What's going on."
Before entering the market, they saw a long line.
"The mission of the fugitives should be to deliver autographs to the elderly over 50 years old, and the name is for eggs.
Zhao Lushi and Zeng Li were responsible for signing on the second floor. They didn't see Ning Zhou. He must be at the scene, maybe holding a gun and sniping."
Hearing this, the two paused.
"Then let's"
"Go to the second floor."
"Got it!"
The two looked at the long line on the left, and the line on the right was much looser. Without saying much, they walked over.
"You are not allowed to leave here!"
The uniformed staff stretched out their hands.
Huang Lei explained with a smile: "My friend is upstairs."
"No one is allowed to go up!"
"Look at me,"
Huang Lei took off his hat helplessly.
"Do you know him, Huang Lei? Have you seen him on TV?"
"Yes!"
"Then I..." Huang Lei was about to go over.
Unexpectedly, the other party still blocked the stairs.
"No one can go up, you can only go downstairs here."
"Oh, I don't believe it"
Huang Lei was a little anxious and was about to force his way in.
"Teacher Huang"
A shout came from above his head.
He looked up and saw Ning Zhou holding a loud speaker and smiling at him
