Diary of the life of a working wizard

Seeing that Xie Zuohe opened a restaurant in Italy, although he was often inspected by the police and had to pay protection fees, he still thought it was better than in China. Xia Yunjie felt a little complicated, but he also knew that this was the truth. The domestic environment was like this. It is impossible to change things in a short time. We can only improve slowly step by step.

"There have been relatively big changes in China over the years, especially in big cities where law enforcement has gradually become stricter and more formal." Xia Yunjie raised his glass and touched Xie Zuohe and said.

"Society is always improving. I feel much better after returning to China in the past two years than before." Xie Zuohe nodded.

In this way, the two of them drank and chatted. As time passed, Xia Yunjie was the only customer left in the restaurant. Xie Simeng is really quite sensible. When Xia Yunjie and Xie Zuohe were chatting and drinking, he was already in the kitchen preparing for the restaurant's evening business. Xie Simeng's mother was supervising her daughter Xiaohui's homework and would occasionally come over to chat. .

The meal lasted almost an hour and a half while chatting and drinking. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Yunjie prepared to mention Scola's matter to Xie Zuohe, and then set off for Cinque Terre.

Just as he was about to speak, a police car stopped at the door, and two policemen got out of the car. One of them was a fat policeman with a big belly.

As soon as he saw the fat policeman coming, Xie Zuohe's expression changed obviously, and Xiaohui had already shouted: "Dad, Mom, that bad policeman is here again."

There was a hint of anger and fear in the childish voice.

"Why is this policeman here to cause trouble?" Xia Yunjie asked with a slight frown.

"This guy used to have some troubles with me. Recently he was transferred to La Spezia for some reason, and he often comes to our store to check. You sit down for now, and I'll deal with it. Don't worry, I'm doing business in a regular way. They You can't do anything to us," Xie Zuohe said as he stood up, and then greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Two police officers, do you want to have Chinese food? Please take a seat." Xie Zuohe pretended not to know the purpose of their visit, and pointed to the location in the restaurant.

"Thank you, China, we meet again. Please show me your passports first." The fat policeman said expressionlessly.

"Didn't you just read it a few days ago? Passports don't change." Xie Simeng's mother, who is obviously a woman with a fierce personality, said dissatisfiedly in Italian.

The fat policeman shook the fat on his face when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "We are enforcing the law and have the right to ask you to show your passport."

"Isn't he just a policeman? What's so big about it?" Xie Simeng's mother muttered in Chinese, then turned around and went into the house to take out her passport.

The fat policeman pretended to look through it a few times, then put the passport back on the counter, and then began to check the store. Xie's restaurant has obviously done a good job at work. The business license that should be hung is hung on the wall. Smoking is prohibited and the business schedule is posted in obvious places. The hygiene is also in place. The fat policeman walked around the store and found out. Not being able to see anything, the young policeman who came with him muttered dissatisfiedly, and then went to the kitchen to check.

"Lao Xie, why do the Italian police have so much control over things like business licenses, restaurant hygiene, etc.?" Xia Yunjie asked strangely. As for the police enforcing the law, it is their job. As long as they don't go too far, Xia Yunjie will not get involved.

"Haha, the local police here are in charge of almost everything, which is different from that in China. Even the military police here are soldiers, but doing nothing is not the job of the police." Xie Zuohe explained, but his eyes were a little nervous. Kitchen direction.

Xie Simeng was in the kitchen, and Xie Simeng's mother had already followed him in. Xie Zuohe himself did not follow him.

Just as he was talking, the dissatisfied voice of Xie Simeng's mother came from the kitchen: "Officer, is your request too much? We are preparing for the evening business, and it is inevitable that there will be spills during preparation."

"This is your responsibility. I only believe what I see with my eyes. There are fish scales on your floor, food residues on your workbench, and dirt on your refrigerator... How can we trust you with such sanitary conditions?" Provide safe meals to customers. I will write a written report and report this matter. Now you must pay a fine of 516 euros first." The fat policeman's emotionless voice rang immediately.

When Xie Zuohe heard that he would be fined more than 500 euros, his face turned dark. He didn't bother to say hello to Xia Yunjie and walked quickly towards the kitchen. Xia Yunjie saw this and followed him.

I saw Xie Simeng staring at the fat policeman in the kitchen angrily and silently, while Xie Simeng's mother was negotiating with the fat policeman angrily. However, the fat policeman was obviously determined to punish Xie's restaurant today. His face was expressionless, he kept his head down and issued the ticket.

"Officer Ricardo, I will improve hygiene, but can you please..." Xie Zuohe's attitude was much more relaxed than that of his wife. After all, in a foreign country, Xie Zuohe, as the head of the family, has more worries.

"Thank you, China, do you think I am doing business? I am enforcing the law." The fat man tore up the ticket expressionlessly and threw it to Xie Zuohe. He said with a happy and proud look in his eyes as he spoke.

Although Xia Yunjie couldn't understand Italian, it didn't stop him from understanding what happened. When he saw the fat policeman handing Xie Zuohe a fine of 516 euros, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and he reached out and grabbed the ticket directly. passed.

Because Xia Yunjie had just glanced at the kitchen, it could be said that the sanitary condition of the kitchen was good enough. It was okay to be picky and make suggestions, but there was absolutely no need for such a heavy penalty.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to enter the kitchen?" When the fat policeman saw Xia Yunjie taking the list in his hand, his expression immediately dropped, while Xie Zuohe and others' expressions changed drastically when they saw this.

"Xiao Xia, don't act recklessly, give me the ticket quickly." Xie Zuohe thought that Xia Yunjie was young and energetic and could not stand foreigners bullying his Chinese, so he hurriedly said to Xia Yunjie.

"You don't have to worry about who I am. I'm not your Italian policeman anyway, but even so, I can see that the sanitary conditions here are very good, and I seriously suspect that you are seeking revenge and racial discrimination." Xia Yunjie shook off the ticket in his hand. He said with a cold tone.

"You are obstructing our police's enforcement of the law." Ricardo, the fat policeman, saw a Chinese young man asking him "coaxing" him, and he immediately pointed angrily at Xia Yunjie and accused him.

When Xie Zuohe saw Ricardo accusing Xia Yunjie of obstructing his law enforcement, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained to Ricardo: "Officer Ricardo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is a customer who came to our restaurant to dine. He may be right There is some misunderstanding about our affairs, please..."

"Misunderstanding? Can't you see that he is obstructing our police enforcement? I need him to go to the police station with us." Ricardo said.

"Okay, Officer Ricardo, I'll pay the fine right away. Can you stop pursuing it?" Xie Zuohe couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that Ricardo was going to take Xia Yunjie away.

"These are two different things. Do you think I am using him to threaten you?" Ricardo said disdainfully, with a look of gloating in his eyes.

He originally thought that this matter would take some wrangling, but he didn't expect that Xia Yunjie, a "silly guy", would show up halfway and hit Xie Zuohe again.

"You know it yourself?" Xia Yunjie sneered disdainfully, and then said to Xie Zuohe: "Old Xie, just let me go to the police station with this Ricardo. To be honest, I have been to the police station several times in China. Police station, but I’ve never been in one abroad.”

"Xiao Xia, how long has this been? You are still in the mood to make this joke. This is Italy, not the country. If you can still find some acquaintances in the country, who are you looking for here?" Xie Zuohe met Xia Yunjie. He looked indifferent and couldn't help but stamp his feet anxiously.

"Don't worry, Lao Xie, do you think I'm stupid? Let me tell you, let alone Italy, even the President's Office in the White House in the United States can come and go freely if I like." Xia Yunjie patted Xie Zuohe's Shoulder, said with a relaxed smile.

"Xiaoxia, I know you are not stupid, but this is Italy after all. There is really no need to be serious with them. You should just give in and let's..." Xie Zuohe said with a bitter smile. Of course he didn't believe Xia Yunjie's words. If he was really so awesome, wouldn't he be able to unify the whole world?

"You really have to be more serious, otherwise they will have to trouble you from time to time in the future. Okay, Lao Xie, don't worry, I am an adult, I will take responsibility for anything I really have to do. By the way, I'm here In the car, I promised to invite a personal clothing designer for your son to come over and help him design and make a suit for free. He may be here in a few minutes. You can tell him later that I was taken by this police officer Ricardo. Went to the police station, I think he should know what to do." Xia Yunjie waved his hand and interrupted before Xie Zuohe could finish his words.

After saying that, Xia Yunjie turned to Ricardo and said in English: "Officer Ricardo, I can go to the police station with you now."

With that said, Xia Yunjie took the lead and strode towards the police car parked at the door.

Seeing that Xia Yunjie was so calm and seemed eager to go to the police station with him, Ricardo felt a little unsure. But this was his territory after all, and he was the local policeman. Naturally, he didn't want to show his guilty conscience in front of the Chinese. On the one hand, not to mention such a young man. In the end, Ricardo adjusted his hat helplessly, cursed something in Italian that Xia Yunjie couldn't understand, and walked out.

As for the fine, Ricardo didn't have the time to worry about it because the ticket was still in Xia Yunjie's hands.

The sudden change of things prevented Xie Zuo and his family from turning their heads for a moment. They watched the police car roaring away. After a while, Xiao Hui suddenly burst into tears, and Xie Zuo and his family finally came to their senses. , Look at me, I look at you. After a long time, Xie Zuohe remembered what Xia Yunjie said before leaving, and asked his son Xie Simeng: "Simeng, what did Xiao Xia say about a private fashion designer?"
