I am a super cop

Chapter 347 Capillaries that travel through the city

Lu's Alley.

In fact, it is an old street. Back then, this area was full of businessmen.

Times have changed, families have risen and fallen, and the big families of the past have all disappeared now.

But only the name of Lu's Alley is still preserved to this day.

Because there are too many ancient buildings nearby, and they are listed as national cultural relics, there are few high-rise buildings in this area, and there are quite a lot of two or three-story row buildings.

The alley is very wide, there are not many people during the day, and one side of the alley is also divided into temporary parking spaces.

But the parking time is regulated...

Any vehicle, parking is only allowed until 4pm.

After 4 o'clock, here will be the beginning of the night market.

Many street stalls here will operate until two or three o'clock in the morning.

There is no other reason, because every night, this place will become a food street, and there are many tourists who come here admiringly.

Eating supper here can give you a sense of age.

In the words of the old man, it has a taste.

The modern and ancient things complement each other. Many younger brothers and younger sisters wearing Hanfu often come here to check in, giving people a feeling that the ancients have traveled to the modern age.

Officer Wang and He Junchao asked for the address and walked all the way to the intersection of the alley.

It was already dark at this time, and the lights in Lu's Alley were obviously brighter than other roads. The bustling flow of people brought life to this alley.

"Ghost knows how He Junchao came here on duty. Didn't he come here specially for supper?" Lu Weiwei was a little skeptical about He Junchao's duty.

Officer Wang smiled: "The distance is a bit far, but he told me that last time he and Lao Ding chased here all the way to catch a habitual offender who stole a battery car."

"At that time, the two of them were hungry, so they handcuffed the car thief to the iron railing on the side of the road, and the two of them sat nearby to eat supper. The greedy thief wanted to scold his mother."

"Haha, if you catch a thief and find this kind of delicacy, you can eat it." Lu Weiwei sipped her saliva and looked around.

When she saw the street sign of "Lu's Alley", Lu Weiwei was overjoyed and said, "This is my family. It seems that there is a reason why I became attached to food."

Gu Chen and Yuan Shasha looked at each other and immediately laughed.

Several people kept walking in, but Lu Weiwei was always amazed.

"Oh my god, the steamed stuffed buns are packed in egg tart containers, what kind of fairy buns are these?"

"Can duck meat be eaten with sliced ​​dragon fruit?"

"What's in this vermicelli? Is it delicious with duck blood vermicelli?"

"Why is there a straw inserted into the mochi ball? Is it yogurt or something?"

"And this, is this roast chicken or something? Why is it so big? Are you sure it's not turkey?"

In order to confirm her own judgment, Lu Weiwei even leaned over and sniffed it with her nose.

Officer Wang felt ashamed, so he raised his forehead and said, "Lu Weiwei, can we be more reserved, there are thousands of delicious things, you can't have seen all of them, right?"

"But it's special if I haven't seen it before. In the world of foodies, there are only delicious and better food, especially for those new things that I haven't seen before. I only need to taste it. After I taste it, I will know that this Is it worth the price?"

Hearing Lu Weiwei chatting on the side, the uncle who sells roast chicken laughed and said, "The little girl is really interesting, she must have eaten a lot of delicious food, right?"

"Of course." Lu Weiwei stood up straight and said with a smile, "It can be said that I have eaten half of the delicacies in Jiangnan City."

"That's amazing." The uncle couldn't help but gave a thumbs up and said, "There are tens of thousands of delicacies in our Jiangnan City. I dare say that I have eaten half of them. That's amazing. For example, my roast chicken. Haven’t you eaten it before? These chickens are all free-range on the mountain, and they are very nutritious.”

"Sure enough, I guessed well." Lu Weiwei nodded, and asked again: "Does that uncle know, is there a seller of scallion pancakes in this Lu's alley, and his scallion pancakes are particularly delicious?"

"Yes." The uncle who sells roast chicken immediately pointed to the curve ahead and said, "Go to the intersection of the alley where the flag hangs, turn right, and the scallion pancake seller is there. There are many people queuing up every day. so……"

"Thank you, uncle." Before the uncle could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei took Gu Chen's arm and said, "Junior Brother Gu, let's hurry over."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded, followed Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, and walked towards the alley where the flag was hung.

The uncle who sells roast chicken is very enthusiastic and depressed.

Originally, I wanted to say that it took a long time to line up over there, so I came here to buy some roast chicken, but the little girl ran away...

When I came to the place where the flag was hung, as the uncle who sold roast chicken said, the business of selling scallion pancakes here is really very good.

The team has already lined up to dozens of people.

A middle-aged couple is making scallion pancakes in a hurry, with skillful movements.

Gu Chen suddenly became depressed: "Is this going to take a long time in line?"

"We didn't come at the right time." Police Officer Wang also said depressedly: "He Junchao came here around the early morning that night, but now it happens to be the peak meal time, so the queue must be long."

"You should line up for the food." Yuan Shasha smiled and said, "How about I go in line?"

"Don't." Lu Weiwei immediately pulled Yuan Shasha over, and then pushed Police Officer Wang over: "Let Lao Wang go to line up, let's see how the scallion pancakes are made, maybe we can learn some tricks secretly." , go back and do it yourself."

"Okay." What else could Yuan Shasha say, she took Lu Weiwei's arm, and the two ran to the couple to observe.

Officer Wang shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I'll go if I go, Gu Chen, go and have a look too, maybe you can become a chef like Lu Weiwei said."

Gu Chen just smiled, didn't speak, and walked directly with Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.

"Your scallion pancakes are ready, four for 4 yuan, you take it." The middle-aged woman put four freshly made scallion pancakes in a paper bag.

The customer left after scanning the QR code to pay, and then the next one...

"Two [-] yuan scallion pancakes?" Gu Chen looked at the size of the scallion pancakes in the pot, couldn't help but smiled and said, "This is really a conscience price."

The middle-aged man looked up at Gu Chen, and said with a smile, "I sell scallion pancakes for two and a half yuan, and the cost is about one yuan. I'm satisfied. I can buy 1 pieces a day."

"Can you sell 800 a day?" Yuan Shasha widened her eyes and said, "Then you can earn 36000 a month. If you join in, the franchise fee will be 5000 yuan a month. When you open 100 stores in Jiangnan City, each The monthly franchise fee is 50 yuan, and 600 million yuan a year. If you open 5000 franchise stores, you can earn 3 million yuan a year, and you can definitely be listed on the main board within two years."

Hearing that Yuan Shasha helped him calculate the accounts, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "But this scallion pancake... must be made by me. I can't hire someone, and I can't freeze it."

"Then you will only be able to make scallion pancakes for the rest of your life." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smiled and said teasingly.

"Are you here to shoot a short video?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but say when she saw that the three were so curious.

Gu Chen was very curious, and quickly asked her: "Why do you think so?"

"It's very simple." During the conversation, the middle-aged woman handed the packed scallion pancake to the next customer, and said by the way:

"Because you all have a good temperament. Walking on the street these days, it's pretty good to see a handsome guy, and there are two more beauties. Which studio do you belong to? I think you should come here Made a video."

The middle-aged man also smiled and said: "A few days ago, there were always some young men and women in very fashionable clothes, with my scallion pancake booth as the background, slapping their buttocks and twisting their waists, ouch, I don't even have the heart to make scallion pancakes gone."

"Besides, those people turned on the lights and used various camera positions. It feels like shooting a movie, but it is a coincidence that it is precisely because of their videos that the business of our booth is getting better and better. I really should thank those young people." The middle-aged woman also hurriedly added.

At this moment, a takeaway boy in a yellow vest parked the battery car behind the booth, took off his helmet, and walked over out of breath.

He picked up a paper bag, squeezed a scallion pancake, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Xiaodong, are you back?" The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the delivery boy.

"Well, I just delivered a few orders and I'm starving to death. I'll eat some scallion pancakes first."

"Don't eat too much, there are still a lot of customers queuing up here." The middle-aged woman also reminded.

"It's okay." The delivery guy ignored it, and after finishing the scallion pancakes in his hand, he was about to start with the scallion pancakes in the pot, only to find Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Yuan Shasha standing in front of him.

The whole person froze suddenly...

"Huh? You... Aren't you the same police officers that day?"

The delivery guy quickly recognized a few people.

"Zhao Xiaodong?" Gu Chen looked at the hibiscus takeaway vest on the delivery guy, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Xiaodong came to report the crime with his face covered in blood, smiled and said, "How is your injury?"

"Thanks to Police Officer Gu, the brow bone was broken, and the other party also compensated all the medical expenses." Zhao Xiaodong said.

"Then you are going to work now? Why don't you take a few more days off?" Yuan Shasha also expressed her incomprehension.

Zhao Xiaodong waved his hand: "We do errands, time is precious, and some old customers are fixed, if it is delayed for a few days, these accumulated old customers may be taken away by others, we dare not rest, It’s not easy to make money.”

Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were still standing, Zhao Xiaodong immediately took a few steps back, moved out a few small stools from the booth, and said, "You guys are also here to buy scallion pancakes, right? Don't stand still, sit down first Let's go."

"thank you."

Seeing Zhao Xiaodong's enthusiasm, everyone sat down.

"I didn't expect that this shop that sells scallion pancakes is run by your parents?" Seeing that the delicious scallion pancakes are actually run by Zhao Xiaodong's family, Lu Weiwei was also happy not to want them.

"It's just a meal." Zhao Xiaodong lost the restraint he had at the police station, and instead relaxed a lot: "My family is out of town, and the scallion pancakes are not selling well in my hometown, mainly because of this kind of business. There are too many."

"In Jiangnan City, it was okay at first, but later those who made short videos used it as the background one after another. More and more people came here, and the business got better and better."

"Your parents make scallion pancakes, and you make takeaways. It's pretty good." Gu Chen also expressed his affection for this professional match.

Parents make scallion pancakes, and the son is responsible for receiving orders and delivering them. This not only increases the sales of scallion pancakes, but also makes money by taking orders. It’s a win-win situation.

"Actually, it's not easy." Zhao Xiaodong said with a smile on his immature face, "Actually, those of us who deliver food must quickly become familiar with every nameless alley, dead end path and deep secret path in a foreign land."

"After all, every rider has a name hidden in his heart, such as a building, a community, or a road."

"Usually it's our first delivery that is overtime, we can't find it after a lot of rounds, or we are trapped in the middle of the night."

Lu Weiwei smiled and said, "You should have been doing it for a few years, right? These nameless alleys are probably more familiar than our police."

"That's true." Zhao Xiaodong didn't deny it either, and said, "I've been working at Furong Food Delivery for two years. In fact, most of the time I'm a delivery rider on the night shift. I start work at 23 o'clock every day and finish at 7 o'clock in the morning."

Looking at Gu Chen, Zhao Xiaodong smiled and said: "That's why you were on the night shift that day, so you met me, and today there happened to be a regular customer who was greedy and close, so I sent him there, and usually I am 23 Click to start work."

"The special delivery rider on the night shift should have a high salary, right?" Gu Chen was very curious, or maybe he was curious about the profession of the delivery guy.

Every day, I see many delivery boys shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city. They are always in a hurry, but they rarely have the opportunity to sit down and communicate with these people face to face.

Gu Chen feels that this is an opportunity...

"The salary is not bad." Zhao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Late night orders earn 50 yuan per order, plus [-] yuan night subsidy, but in the early morning of the end of spring when the market is the worst, a rider sometimes can only pick up [-] yuan per night. Five lists."

Looking up at the sky, Zhao Xiaodong said with emotion: "However, Jiangnan City has high consumption. In order to save money, we dare not even let go of the meal. If it exceeds 15 yuan, we have to weigh it. Two days of vacation every month is not enough. I seldom take a break, so I save it up and use it when I go home to visit relatives.”

"Then your parents came here later, right?" Yuan Shasha asked him weakly.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaodong smiled: "Later, my parents never saw me, and they were worried that I would not be able to eat enough and sleep well, so they came to Jiangnan City to do some small business together. Oil cakes are still my favorite, my parents can sell about 800 a day now, and the income is not bad, and in a few years, we can go back to our hometown county to pay a down payment."

"Don't you settle down in Jiangnan City?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

Zhao Xiaodong shook his head: "The housing prices here can't afford it. In my hometown county, I can barely buy a set. This is a big city. Maybe this place will never belong to me?"

"It's good to make money in Jiangnan City and buy a house in my hometown county, after all, it's my home." Gu Chen agrees with Zhao Xiaodong's point of view.

After all, housing prices have shattered the dreams of many young people.

Compared with Pengcheng's shed reform, which can produce hundreds of billionaires at one time, ordinary people really have to rely on their own efforts to live a decent life.

"Although our salary is not bad, but in the early morning of Jiangnan City, we also lost meals and even a whole electric car. If these are replaced by a single income, it will really make people feel distressed." Zhao Xiaodong said this, He also couldn't help feeling:
"So the Dongfeng takeaway guy who beat me up that day, he was a big loser, but we still reached a settlement. We met last night and he even said hello to me."

"That's pretty good." Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction, it was better than he imagined, and he couldn't help but said: "So our police are also doing our best to crack down on nighttime theft, especially those who steal the delivery boy's battery car Those thieves have completely stepped up their efforts."

"Thank you very much for your police efforts." Zhao Xiaodong clasped his fists excitedly: "We have already experienced this, especially in the past year, even if the battery car is stolen, it can be recovered very quickly. I have to praise your Furong branch. , I heard that other areas are not so lucky."

"Haha." Lu Weiwei also laughed and said, "You really are a sycophant."

Seeing that there were more than a dozen people standing in front of Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen turned around and asked, "You courier brother shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city, so he should be familiar with this city. If there is anything suspicious in the future, remember to report it as soon as possible." Let us know the police."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei also added: "With the cooperation of the police and the public, we can live and work in peace and contentment in this area. You are mobile inspectors."

"Haha, this is fine." Zhao Xiaodong scratched the back of his head, and said, "We have tens of thousands of takeaway brothers, forming an intelligence network, which can also provide a lot of support for your police, but..."

Having said this, Zhao Xiaodong suddenly hesitated.

"Just what?" Yuan Shasha asked him puzzled.

"It's just that, usually, you don't have this awareness, and everyone spends their time on errands at work, and you may find some by chance, but there are not many who do what is right, and you are afraid of being retaliated, so I want to provide you with clues to the police. It's just by chance."

Seeing that Gu Chen was thinking all the time, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously: "Junior Brother Gu, do you have any new ideas?"

"some."

Gu Chen nodded.

In fact, Gu Chen has always had a new idea, but he usually only spends a short time with the delivery boy, and rarely interacts with each other, making heart-to-heart talks even more impossible.

But meeting Zhao Xiaodong today made Gu Chen realize that there is actually another important force besides the police patrol team, and that is the group of takeaway boys.

Police patrols are limited, and the patrol routes are relatively well-regulated.

The familiarity of many nameless alleys is not as good as these takeaway guys who walk around the streets all day.

If the takeaway boys in Furong District can be organized and educated, maybe they can become another professional intelligence team besides the police patrol team.

Because the takeaway boy has seen many early mornings in Jiangnan City.

Most of the time, these nights are normal, one list after another until dawn.

But sometimes, riding through the capillaries of the city, the riders will discover the secrets, desires, carnivals, warmth and tears that are exclusive to the night.
