Manor Romance

Chapter 172
"It's only five hundred for such a big piece, isn't it too cheap? Did she deliberately count the price as cheap because of your handsome appearance?" Lu Ci joked after the girl walked away.

"If this is the case, I really have the potential to be a badass. Why don't I find a female vendor to try it out later?" Yun Li took gloves on, broke off a piece of golden fruit, and sent it to Lu Ci's. On the lips, he still laughed at himself.

"Yo, you said you're fat and you're still panting." Lu Ci sarcastically put the golden flesh into his mouth, showing a satisfied expression, Yun Li also broke off a piece, put it in his mouth and ate it happily stand up.

The meat of jackfruit is soft, chewy, sweet and refreshing. It is indeed a treasure among fruits and has great planting value. Its fruit trees are tall and straight. In some places, they are even used as green sightseeing trees, just to grow the fruit trees. And it turns out, it's not a matter of one or two years, but for Yunli, this is not a problem at all.

The jackfruit sold by this girl tastes very good and is very cheap. The five hundred they said is naturally not RMB, but five hundred kyats, which is less than three yuan in exchange. You can buy such a large piece of jackfruit. It is true that it is of high quality and low price. If it is placed in China, it must cost several times the price to buy it, and the quality may not be as good as this one.

"Don't throw away the fruit core. You can eat it after cooking. It tastes very good, not worse than chestnuts. I'll find a place to cook it for you at noon." After eating another piece of jackfruit sent by Yunli, Lu Ci said commanded.

After Yun Li heard the words, he said curiously: "It turns out that the core of this fruit can still be eaten. I didn't know about it before. I have learned a lot. Let's eat it quickly. I want to dig out all the cores. This is so One big piece, probably more than a dozen." After Yun Li finished speaking, he sent another piece of fruit pulp to Lu Ci, as if he really wanted to fulfill his previous promise to fatten her up, and Lu Ci would not refuse anyone who came, and sent a piece Eat a piece, don't worry about this aspect at all.

After they ate a whole piece of jackfruit, the train arrived at their station. This is not the destination town yet. After getting off the station, they rented a sightseeing tricycle and headed towards the town under the leadership of the driver.

The town they went to was called Nawa Town, which was no longer within the scope of the tourist area. It was very close to the emerald mining area. Along the way, there were many ore processing workshops, large and small. , according to the driver, originally only the government had the right to mine and process, but the situation here is unstable, and there are serious infighting among the various forces. No one came to investigate this matter, so many workshops are operating illegally. Each has its own power, so if you are traveling, don't visit these workshops to avoid any accidents. If you are here to discuss business, it will be another story.

Yunli had already inquired about the situation here, and he was capable of dealing with all kinds of emergencies, so he dared to bring Lu Ci with him. After arriving in Nawa Town, the two set out to find out about Mo Lao's whereabouts.

Neither Lu Ci nor Lu Qishan knew what Mo Lao's real name was. They only knew that his surname was Mo. Everyone called him Mo Lao. He didn't even have a photo. Apart from knowing his surname, Lu Ci had a vague impression of him. No information at all.Lu Qishan didn't actually know Mr. Mo, but only knew that there was such a person. Mr. Mo had a good relationship with the patriarch who adopted Lu Ci, and the information of his whereabouts this time also came by chance.

Finding a person in the small town who has almost no information is really a difficult task, and so many days have passed, it is still unknown whether Mr. Mo will stay here, but the two of them still proceeded according to the plan. No matter what, you have to give it a try. The process cannot be sloppy, and the result is whatever it is.

The best way to find someone is to ask the local police for help. Children know this truth, but Yunli has no plan to ask the local police for help. The situation here is unstable, and there are often incidents of officials extorting tourists. For the sake of safety However, he and Lu Ci still rely on their own ability to find more reliable.

They first came to the grocery store in the town to ask. If Mr. Mo really lived here, he would have to deal with these daily necessities stores, and maybe he could get useful information from them.The two asked questions all the way along the street, and they only gave two pieces of information. The male old man surnamed Mo, who looked less than 70 years old, had no suspense in the end. After asking around, they found nothing.

Lunch time has passed long ago. Since the two of them ate a large piece of jackfruit before, they don't feel very hungry now, but they still have to eat lunch. The two found a pasta shop for a rest.

"Boss, how long will it take for the noodles we ordered?" After the two of them sat down and waited for a while, but they still didn't see anything being served, Yun Li asked the boss in the kitchen.

"Wait, wait a while, soon, wait, soon." The boss's Mandarin is not very good, and there are only a few words in English, but there is no problem in simple communication.

Yun Li is not impatient, but the two of them are the only customers in the shop. The other shop assistants are coming in and out. I don't know what they are busy with. One of the kind shop assistants saw that the two of them were dressed as tourists, so he came over. explained:
"Please wait a little longer, we are doing takeaway, there are dozens of copies, but it will be fine later, I will ask the boss to add an extra marinated egg for you later."

"So that's the case, but looking at your boss's expression, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Could it be that you are not happy to have a big business visit?" Yun Li has sharp eyes, and can see that the boss is busy, but his complexion is not very good , then casually asked.

The clerk lowered his voice and continued to explain: "You can see that, we didn't want to accept this business, but the employer is a neighbor of the boss's in-laws, so he is too embarrassed to refuse, this is a takeaway for white things, bad luck .” The clerk’s Mandarin is very good, and he even uses words like Baishi very well.

"It's no wonder. Is that family a big family? Ordering dozens of takeaways at a time is considered a big deal here?" Yun Li asked sideways. Lu Ci didn't know what he was planning, so he obediently stayed on the sidelines and listened. with.

The clerk didn't know much, and thought Yunli was a gossip. Anyway, he didn't have a job now, so he continued: "It's not a rich family, but a widowed old man passed away, but there were many people who came to his funeral, and they were all It’s a shame, they didn’t have enough boxed lunches, so they found our shop to add them temporarily, that’s why we’re so busy.”

"How old is the old man, and what's his last name?" Yun Li continued to ask, and it was only then that Lu Ci discovered his purpose.

"He's in his 60s. He just moved to our town in recent years. Not many people know him. They only know his name is Old Man Mo. I don't know what his real name is." The clerk replied truthfully. Both Yunli and Lu Ci were inspired, their expressions were different, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

"Go and have a look first, it might not be him, don't worry too much." Yun Li comforted Lu Ci softly while holding Lu Ci's hand.

Lu Ci nodded: "Well, just let it be, I think about it now, these things can't be forced, I'm up to you."

"Where is the funeral, let's find someone, he might be at the funeral." After comforting Lu Ci, Yun Li turned and asked the clerk.

The clerk originally talked about this as gossip, but he didn't expect the two of them to go there, seeing Yunli's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he suggested, "Uh, I'll be in charge of delivering the takeaway they ordered later." In the past, if you don’t mind, follow my car later, it’s not too far from here, it’s on the south corner of the town.”

The clerk came over to talk to Lu Ci when he saw the existence of the beautiful woman Lu Ci. He appreciated and appreciated it. Seeing Yunli's request, he agreed to help without thinking too much. It was a trivial matter anyway. It won't hurt the big beauty to stay a little longer.

The takeaway was ready soon, and the two bowls of noodles they ordered were packaged and taken away. The clerk used a modified diesel tricycle to deliver the goods. Dozens of boxed meals didn’t take up much space, and if there was free space, they could carry them two more. Yun Li didn't show any politeness to him, and got into the car with Lu Ci directly to the destination.

The clerk also noticed that the big beauty was not in a good mood, so he introduced the situation of old man Mo to the two of them on the way, and told some very cold jokes, Yun Li smiled politely, but Lu Ci was out of his mind, obviously not Listening to their speech, although she said that she would not force her, the anxiety and loss in her heart were written on her face.

Mo Lao is the only clue to her life experience. If it is interrupted here, this mystery that has accompanied her for more than 20 years will never have an answer. Confusion and unwillingness will follow her life. This is an invisible torture, and Yunli will never let it go. This kind of thing happened to Lu Ci.

I learned from the clerk that this old man Mo is not a local. He moved to the small town of Nawa about five or six years ago to trade in emerald ore. The business is small and he is very low-key. His identification level is very high, and he is also very researched on antiques. Many people in the town have asked him to help identify them.He has a weird temper, he never refuses visitors when he is in a good mood, and he doesn't even open the door when he is in a bad mood, but he never charges for appraisal fees, and his vision is quite good, so everyone knows that there is such a person.

This old man Mo is a loner, and I have never heard of him having any relatives. After he settled here, he took in a godson to help with the business. He usually lives in seclusion and has few friends, so they couldn't find out about it in the grocery store just now. News, I never expected that so many people would come to the funeral after his death. Some of them seemed to have come here from far away, and it was unknown who belonged to him.

Not long after, they came to old man Mo's house. The small road outside was already filled with many vehicles, many of them were taxis. It could be seen that many visitors came from afar.

Lu Ci was careful, and asked the clerk about the funeral customs here. In fact, it was no different from domestic ones. Both of them changed into dark clothes before stepping into the house.
