Confessions of a Salesman

The car began to pull into the station, and I walked to the door of the car. As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, I rushed down. Sure enough, the person behind me rushed down.

As a result, I stood in front of him, without any intention of running, and now he became very embarrassed, and faced me, I stood in front of him without dodging, and the people behind him who were about to get off pushed and shoved Looking at him, the moment he touched me immediately, I tugged him, then dragged him staggeringly to a backstage with few people and stopped, staring at him and asking: "Who sent you to follow me?" of?"

The man was young and not tall. He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, revealing a pair of big eyes. I took a closer look at him and said, "If you want to follow me, just tell me." Ah, like a thief, if I start to hurt you, how can I explain to your father?"

He took off his mask, smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "My father... no... Mr. Zhong said, let me learn something from you, I just want to follow you silently, don't cause trouble for you! "

I sighed and said, "I'm out this time to do some private business, and it might be a little dangerous, why don't you go back first, how about going to find you after I finish this business?"

Ah Bao shook his head and said: "No, I finally got a chance to come out, just promise me, I will definitely not cause trouble for you, maybe I can help you!"

I said helplessly: "Hey, I owe you, then follow me closely, do whatever I ask you to do, don't worry too much, don't talk too much, can it be done?"

Ah Bao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

So, we got out of the station, rented a car according to the address given by Mr. Zhong, and went straight to a place called Jiangyi Town in Lanxi District of Jinhua.

When I arrived at the place, although it was only around 8 o'clock in the evening, there were no people on the street, and all the shops were closed. I didn't eat much all day, so I wanted to find a restaurant to eat casually. The restaurants are closed, not even a nightclub.

I had no choice but to find a mobile noodle stall, sit on a small chair, and ordered two bowls of wonton noodles. The wontons in this place are no better than those in Guangdong. The small ones are almost invisible when they fall into the soup. The noodles are thin. It’s probably only one or two, and there are a few vegetable leaves floating on it. I don’t care. I swallowed it indiscriminately in order to fill my stomach. refused to eat.

I looked at him suspiciously, and he pointed to a crack on the bowl and said, "How do you eat this bowl? Also, these chopsticks are not disposable, can they be cleaned?"

I rolled his eyes at him and said: "When you're away from home, don't be so particular about it. It's good to eat some! I didn't see that the restaurants in this place are closed. Why don't you give it to me!"

Seeing that I was going to grab it, he was probably hungry, so he started to eat reluctantly. I ordered another bowl, and then asked the stall owner, "Boss, what's the matter with your place? There is a curfew at night." ? Why is it closed at 8 o’clock?”

The boss looked at me, and while skilfully copying the noodles out of the pot, he said, "At first glance, you are from the south, right? People here don't live without anything. They go home early at 8 o'clock, and go home at 9 o'clock. Go to bed!"

I groaned, puzzled and said, "What age is this? Go to bed at 9 o'clock? Are you talking about old people?"

The boss shook his head and said: "The old and the young are the same. They have to work during the day and get up early, so they go to bed early at night! I have been here for more than ten years, and I have never seen it on the street after 10 o'clock. People! This is their living habit here! My noodle stall is the latest to open in this area, and you are already my last customers!"

I said with a oh: "Then let's eat quickly, don't delay your work!"

The boss smiled, handed me the dough in his hand and said, "I wasn't used to it at first, but gradually I became like them. I went to bed early and woke up early, and I was full of energy at the end of the day. I got twice the result with half the effort and my health was also good." ! People in this place live a long life, and everyone is very rich!"

I grunted and said, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are lands of fish and rice, cities of wealth and wealth. I always thought it was a geographical advantage, but now it seems that it is a matter of perception!"

The boss nodded and said: "That's right, people's minds are only thinking about how to make money, have children, eat, drink and have fun before they are 80 years old, they don't think about it at all!"

I agreed: "This is their attitude towards life! So it makes sense for them to be rich!"

After paying the money, the boss also closed the stall, and the two of us found a chain hotel and stayed.

When Abao arrived at the hotel, he couldn’t wait to call Azi and report everything here. I stood on the balcony, looked at the photo, and wanted to see some clues from it. Zhenzi, it's really hard to find someone, and I don't know if he has left?
After Ah Bao made the phone call, I looked at the photo on the phone with a look of hesitation, and came over curiously and asked, "What's wrong? What made you so difficult?"

I asked back, "Do you know what I am here for?"

Ah Bao nodded and said, "I know, find someone!"

I hummed and said: "Your dad only sent me this photo. As for the specific location, there is this town. Do you know how big this town is? How difficult is it to find someone? What if , he has already left? How can I find him?"

A Bao said confidently: "We can analyze the specific problem in detail! Let's start with this photo. For example, since there is this photo, someone must have taken it. Whoever took it must know. The exact address of your photo!"

I smiled helplessly and said, "I've already asked your dad this question, and the answer he gave me was that this town was the last place his private detective got. This photo was taken by the private detective with a drone. Yes, among the tens of thousands of photos, he has no idea where this one was selected?"

Ah Bao said with an oh: "Then this clue is broken, you can find clues from the photos again!"

Then he zoomed in on the photo, pointed it out to me, and said, "This should be a market!"

I groaned, looked at the photo and asked, "How can you tell that this is a market?"

Abao explained: "Although the background is very blurry, you can vaguely see this kind of translucent roof. In order to prevent the sun and rain, you can only see it in the usual market! Construction sites don't use this kind of roof. Rooftops, residences, and commercial buildings are even more unlikely, and the most likely is a market!"

I said with some appreciation: "You observe things very carefully! But there are many markets in a town!"

Abao continued: "This kind of market is much easier to find. Generally, there is one in each community. There are several communities in this town. Just look for them one by one. There is another important clue. The person you are looking for is a Alcoholic, why did he appear in the market? One possibility is that there are places that sell alcohol in the market. Bulk wine is cheap and has a high alcohol content. It is very popular with alcoholics! Just ask, you will know, not every market sells alcohol Yes, this narrows down the scope!"

I nodded and said, "Your thinking is very clear! Have you ever done looking for someone before?"

Ah Bao shook his head and said: "No, but everything should be done according to the proper steps, so that nothing will fail!"

Looking at his confident eyes, I know what Mr. Zhong wants me to teach him?Academics, with solid theoretical knowledge, but lack of practical experience.

I didn’t talk all night, and the next morning, I got up early, thinking about going to the morning market, and woke up Bao for a long time, but he was indifferent. It seems that the academics need more rest and enough sleep time, so I didn’t call again He went to the first market near here by himself.

7:[-] is already very early for me, but when I went to the market, the original morning market was almost over. I walked around and compared the photos, but I didn’t see any similar places, and According to Ah Bao, there is no place to sell alcohol in this market, so it should not be here.

After buying two breakfasts, I asked the local people, and learned that there are about 7 or 8 communities in this town, and they only know 4 big markets, one of which is a fruit and vegetable wholesale market, the largest in the town, Many people from other towns also go there to buy goods. As for whether there are wine sellers, they have never observed it before, so they don't know for sure!

When I got back to the hotel, it was past 10 o’clock. I was a little angry when Ah Bao hadn’t woken up yet. After taking pictures for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said to me: “I may have a fever and a cold!”

I groaned and touched his forehead, almost scalding my hands. Looking at his flushed face, it was all burning, so I hurriedly helped him up and said, "The burn is so severe, why don't you talk to me?" talk?"

Abao said weakly: "I'm afraid it will delay your business, I think I can get over it with a trip, who knew it would be serious!"

I sighed and said, "I'm not short of time, can I walk around? Let's go to the hospital!"

Abao nodded and stood up with difficulty. I supported him and walked two steps. He was almost paralyzed on the ground, so I had to carry him on my back and run to a nearby clinic. When we arrived at the clinic, the doctor just took his temperature. I just opened a few hanging bottles and ignored it.

I angrily blamed the doctor and said, "What kind of medical treatment are you doing? He has burned like this, and you can just prescribe a few hanging bottles and it's over? You don't even know what the reason is? What is the cause? ? At least a blood test?"

The doctor gave me a blank look and said, "Are you a doctor or am I? If you think I'm not good enough, go to a big hospital!"

As soon as I heard what he said, I became very angry, but Ah Bao stopped me, told me to bring a paper and a pen, wrote a prescription by myself, and then said to me: "I'll take a bottle here first, The medicine he saw didn’t do me any harm, it was all glucose, it helped me, but it couldn’t solve the fundamental problem, I’ll just go and buy the medicine for me!”

I looked at him in surprise again, but he just smiled and didn't explain anything. I hurriedly found that disliked hospital again, asking him to prescribe me medicine, but he refused straight away: "How can this work? They're all prescription drugs, but you don't want them, so I can prescribe them for you! If you take something wrong, who will be responsible! Besides, who prescribed this medicine for you? It's not professional at all!"

When he said this, I thought it made sense, so I didn't argue with him, but I still chose to believe in Abao. I went to the pharmacy outside and wanted to buy it directly, but because it was a prescription drug, I had to have a prescription to sell it to me. , but refused me, when I was worrying, I saw a patient holding a prescription and bought a bunch of medicines. When he came out, I stopped him and said, "Sell me your medicines, I'll give you more." Double the price!"

The man looked at me for a long time before he said, "I've only heard about money robbing, but not medicine? I'm just writing about antipyretics! Not those addictive drugs, are you? The wrong person was robbed!"

I didn't bother to explain to him, so I snatched his medicine, compared it with the list that Abao gave me, and it was really there, so I threw a wad of money at him and said, "I took the medicine, you don't need it anymore." Just open it!"

Back at the clinic, Ah Bao’s first bottle of salt water had already been hung up, and it was his turn for the second bottle. His face had already healed a lot. Seeing me come back with the medicine, he said to me: “Pour me some water, I’ll Just take the medicine and you'll be fine! Go and do your work, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for you after taking the medicine and getting the drip!"

I said oh, got him some water, saw that he was much better after taking the medicine, and left the clinic.

On the way, I happened to see the patient who was robbed by me, leading two policemen, walking towards me, saying something in his mouth, and still holding the money I gave him, I hurriedly hid in a corner, waiting for them I dared to come out after I walked over. I regretted that I was too reckless. It may be that I developed a lot of bad habits when I was outside. After returning to China, I did things without scruples, which almost caused trouble for myself. !

After inquiring on the road, I learned that there are two markets that sell wine, and one market is relatively famous for its wine, Zhejiang Huadiao, which cannot be bought in other places. Many people come here just because of its reputation. Go to that market to buy wine.

So I took a taxi and arrived at the market. However, to my great disappointment, the market here didn't even have a gate, not because it was small, but because it was too big. How could this be a market?It is simply a voluntary small commodity wholesale city!From the entrance of this market to the exit there, you have to make two stops by car, which is too exaggerated, and the wine sellers are not one or two, but the entire street is full of authentic Shaoxing flower carvings in Zhejiang, and it has already been done. It's a city!The whole street exudes the smell of alcohol, not to mention people who are addicted to alcohol, even people like me, who are not greedy for drinking, want to go in and have a drink or two.
