Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"Father, here are two tamagoyaki."

Jian Shenxiu walked to the front of a shop wearing a kimono with his hands in his hands, and said so to the bored shop owner with a smile. The voice was so sunny and hearty that the moment he exited, Markesias' body next to him shook suddenly, and he stared at him with wide eyes. He didn't expect to hear something like "Daddy" coming from his mouth. angry words.

Even Jianshenxiu used the most traditional market pronunciation of Xue Jianze, which was the language habit of the first group of immigrants who brought this island before the great immigration. Later, with the influx of more and more immigrants, few people still use this accent, and it is gradually replaced by standard spoken language that can communicate with multiple parties.

"Okay, lad."

The old man who bought jade burnt obviously didn't expect to see Shenxiu's appearance like this when he opened his mouth, he was overjoyed immediately, stood up from his chair, walked to the stove, and smiled at him.

"But you may have to wait for a while, I have to heat up the stove first."

"It's not open today, is it? It's okay, Dad, you're busy." Jian Shenxiu simply smiled, walked to the front counter and leaned back, smiling at the old man:

"We can just chat here and there, no trouble."

"Haha, okay."

The boss laughed and answered, then looked at the age of the two and then at the direction where the school bus arrived just now, and asked the two of them:

"Old man, I just saw the school bus coming over there. The two are students here on vacation, right?"

"Hahaha, do I look that young?" Jian Shenxiu smiled, but did not answer the question directly, but arched Markesias next to him with his shoulders.

"He's the age to be a student. Me, I've passed it a long time ago."

He played a clever word game, when he was a student, he was not necessarily a student.

"Uh uh, uh uh, oh..."

Markesias was a little shocked to see Shenxiu's sudden enthusiasm. The hooded boy looked blankly at Jian Shenxiu and felt a little overwhelmed for a while, he could only hum and nod along with Jian Shenxiu's words.

"Yes, yes."

"Oh, so you are the teacher?" The old man squinted at Shenxiu while turning on the stove.

"Haha, it's my fault. The teacher looks quite young, but I lost sight of the old man for a while."

"No wonder dad, I've only worked for a few years, but it's true that few people say that about me." Jian Shenxiu joked with the old man with his hands in his hands.

"It's probably because they usually keep their faces straight every day, which makes people old. It's hard work to always keep a straight face. Sometimes I want to laugh and laugh with them."

"That's not right. A teacher always has to be a little dignified. Otherwise, the students are not afraid of you, what would that look like?" However, the old man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he began to knock on the shovel to teach him a lesson.

"It's not okay to be joking."

"you……!"

After the old man finished speaking, before seeing Shenxiu said anything, Markesias' expression changed suddenly, and he glared at him and was about to speak. However, just as he was about to speak, a hand suddenly stretched out from his side and stopped him.

"Xias!" Jian Shenxiu yelled softly, interrupting Markesias' speech with sharp eyes. She shook her head slightly at him without a trace.

"Hey! Look at what I said to the guests, old man!"

At this moment, the old man paused, as if he had finally come to his senses what happened just now, he slapped his head violently, stopped his work and apologized to Jian Shenxiu in a panic:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people always like to teach people when they get old. It's been a long time since I chatted with people, and I didn't hold back for a while. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you two. Hey, look at me. , Tsk, how can you make such a slip of the tongue to a guest."

"It's okay, Dad, you are busy with your work."

However, seeing Shenxiu just showed a nonchalant smile, waved his hand at the old man in relief, and said calmly.

"It's just the senior teaching the junior a few words, just listen to me, kid."

"Hey, you, I feel a little ashamed for the old man." Hearing this, the old man lowered his head and hesitated for a long while before sighing and saying:

"It's been a long time among young people that I haven't met someone as polite as you. Maybe it's because I've been bored for too long. Old man, I can't help but feel kind when I see you. In this way, I'm the master, and I'll give you the bill No, it's a coincidence."

"That's impossible, isn't this your first order today?"

Facing the old man's sigh, Shenxiu still had that hearty smile on his surface, but in a place where no one noticed, there was a faint red glow at the bottom of his pupils, reflecting the figure of the old man in front of him.

"The first order will be waived, which is not a good sign."

"That's right..." Businessmen are usually superstitious, and the old man seemed a little shaken when he heard the words. He finally sighed and continued following his thoughts.

"It's not the peak season now, and it's rare to have such a large group of students coming..."

"About one more month before the peak season?" Seeing Shenxiu leaning crookedly in front of the counter, Zhuang Ruo inadvertently asked:

"How is the business usually? Like this time so many students come together, is it common in normal times?"

"How can it be? It's rare for so many people to come here at one time during the peak season." The old man shook his head mockingly, lowered his head and touched the stove, and then babbled while stirring the egg liquid.

"It wouldn't be a big deal if it was a few years ago, but today's Xuejianze...is not the previous Xuejianze. Just look at this street and you will know, the only ones left are our few stores. If it weren't for the old man's entire family belongings in this shop, I probably would have followed suit."

"But it's good now. I'm also at this age. Even if I want to go outside to see the world like a young man, I don't think I have the strength."

In the middle of talking, the old man suddenly changed his subject again, and poured the egg liquid in the bowl into the furnace with his withered and vigorous hands. Decades of repetitions have made him precise and stable when making this movement, and the movement when he pulls the bowl actually has the connotation of "holding the knife" in the way of kendo. For a moment, Markesias next to him looked at him with dangerous eyes, as if the person in front of him was some kind of hidden master.

"There is no rent for my shop, and I only do it for a few months during the peak season a year, so I'm usually free." The old man obviously didn't see Markesias' sudden vigilance, but he just continued to speak his own words.

"It doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you have enough to eat, it's just a thought to guard this small shop now."

"That's right, that's right, when there is no one else, you can still chat with a few neighbors."

Seeing that Shenxiu was still smiling while listening to the old man's words, his pupils were flickering red, seducing the direction of the topic without leaving a trace.

"The neighbors are well-informed, and there is no shortage of news. I just saw that my father has prepared a lot of goods today. I probably heard from the hotel that there will be guests coming today?"

"Hey, then you can look up to me, the old man." The old man smiled and shook his head when he heard this. "I don't have such well-informed news, I just prepare it every day."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Seeing Shenxiu, he knew the target was coming, but his face remained calm, he just put on a curious look, and was still guiding him.

"But didn't the old man say that there are no people on weekdays? We prepare so many goods every day, do we need them?"

"That's... that's right."

The old man was stunned by this question, and the movements in his hands began to stop unconsciously. As he thought about it, he quickly began to frown, with a clear look of confusion appearing on his face.

"If there are no tourists, where do I prepare so many goods every day..."

He thought about it first, frowning desperately as if trying to remember something. Then, as if something had been touched, for a moment his expression suddenly became ferocious, but just when his expression struggled as if he was about to remember something...

"Forget it, don't think about it. Sure enough, I'm getting old. I can't remember, I can't remember."

He suddenly stopped thinking, laughed at himself and shook his head, and continued to move his hands.

"Hey, Tamagoyaki for the two of you."

"……good."

Seeing that Shenxiu's breathing was obviously stagnant, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he reached out to catch the two boxes that the old man handed over.

But forget it...

Seeing that Shenxiu did not continue to persecute and try to get something from the old man after all. Soon he adjusted, looked at the old man in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.

This time the harvest has been quite a lot.
