The other guest was a middle-aged man, in his early 40s, with a pretty and gentle face, who seemed very gentle.
"Sir, is this all right?" The man in grey frowned and asked the middle-aged man for his opinion. He seemed dissatisfied with the outdoor environment of the porridge shop.
The middle-aged man nodded, "here it is. Let's hurry and don't mind the side effects. "
"Yes." The man in grey nodded, then took out a handkerchief, wiped the bench carefully, and wiped the low table clean.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help saying: "two guests, we have to wipe the table and stool carefully every morning when we open. There is no dust on it. It's very clean."
The man in grey didn't pay attention. He wiped the low table again before he let the middle-aged man sit down.
The middle-aged man was easygoing and said to Li Chang'an Wen Sheng, "don't blame me, little brother. It's just a habit of our family. What do you have here? "
"There are steamed buns, there are porridge," Li Chang'an said. "Sweet porridge and white porridge with topping are one Wen and one bowl, plain steamed buns are one Wen and meat steamed buns are two Wen. What would you like to eat?"
The man in grey frowned and asked the middle-aged man in a low voice: "Sir, I'm afraid you can't get used to these kinds of food, or Shall we go to a restaurant? "
"Bang!" Li Chang'an glanced at the man in grey, "my guest, are you not a local? I wonder if only Xiaoshi can have breakfast in the morning nearby? If you want to go to a restaurant, you have to walk five miles to the West from here before you can get to Qinghe town, where you can find a restaurant
The middle-aged man stroked his chin beard and shook his head. "Third, it's OK. When you go out, being careful will only increase your own trouble. Little brother, I'll give you some of the best food in your family, and I'll pay you the money. "
"Good!" Li Chang'an quickly put down the steamed stuffed buns, jumped up from the low table, went to Hemai and brought a plate of fried steamed buns, and then brought two bowls of porridge. He gave the two a smile, "my guest, take your time."
When the two had dinner, Li Chang'an went into the shop, pounced on them, and whispered to HOMA, "what do you think they're here for?"
He Mai was concentrating on frying steamed stuffed buns. Wen Yan took a look at the two men and didn't feel anything special. But she saw that the man in grey was obviously a little more formal at the dinner table, not as easygoing as the other middle-aged man.
She looked carefully and concluded, "are these a couple of servants?"
Li Chang'an raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"But I don't know what to do." She looked a few more and then lowered her head.
"I guess they're looking for someone! Li Chang'an said with a smile.
He Mai picked an eyebrow, obviously didn't believe that Li Chang'an could see their purpose with a few eyes, "then how did you see it?"
"It's very simple," Li Chang'an quietly pointed to a roll of canvas around the gray man's waist. "If I guess correctly, he will come to ask us if we have seen the man in his portrait."
He Mai naturally didn't believe it. He shook his head and refused to listen to Li Chang'an's nonsense again. "You're not the worm in other people's stomach. How can you be so clear about what other people do?"
"It's experience, experience! The boss once taught me! Well, what if I guess right? " Li Chang'an hummed.
"Then I'll add half a jin of meat to the dinner I bring you this month." Said he, glaring at him.
Li Chang'an was overjoyed, "it's a deal!"
When he paid for the steamed stuffed bun, the man in grey took out the copper from his pocket and handed it to Li Chang'an. Then he took out the canvas at his waist.
"Have you seen this man?" The man in grey asked Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an glanced at the woman's portrait on the canvas and waved to he Mai, "come and have a look. Have you ever seen this man?"
Surprised, he Mai lifts the desk from the shop and comes out. He and Li Chang'an look at the woman's portrait on the yellow cloth.
The woman in the picture is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She has a beautiful face. She is a girl with a bright smile. However, the girl has a pretty face. He Mai has never seen her before, so she shakes her head. "I haven't seen her before."
The man in grey, as expected, just let out his breath, but didn't show how disappointed he was.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man's eyes darkened and his face was still calm. He seemed to be used to it.
"This woman I seem to have seen it somewhere... " Li Chang'an murmured.
The man in grey was surprised and asked, "where is it?"
"I think, I think..." Li Chang'an grabbed her hair and thought deeply, "where have I seen her..."
The man in grey and the middle-aged man's eyes were fixed on Li Chang'an. He Mai almost held his breath, hoping that Li Chang'an would remember the scene as soon as possible.
"It's on the wharf of Qinghe town! I remember Li Chang'an yelled, "when she just got off the boat, she cried and yelled. Not long after she got off the boat, she yelled that she had been cheated. She wanted to go back to her father and brother and said that she was the daughter of Du Mingcheng..."The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, his body was shocked and he asked, "and then? Where did she go? "
Li Chang'an scratched his head. "Then she seemed to foam at the mouth and fainted. Then I left. I don't know where she went."
The man in grey grabbed Li Chang'an's collar angrily and asked in an angry voice, "give me a good think, and then where did she go?"
What are you doing!? Li Chang'an angrily broke away from his hands and said angrily, "if you can't remember, you just can't remember! I won't tell you when I think of it! "
"You..." The man in grey was so angry that he wanted to catch Li Chang'an, but he was stopped by the middle-aged man.
"Old three, don't be rude!" The man frowned and scolded, then turned to Li Chang'an and apologized: "little brother, my brother is also in a hurry. We have been looking for the girl in the picture for a long time. Not long ago, we got a thread to know that she may be in this place, so we come here. If the younger brother can provide some clues, we will be very grateful. "
Li Chang'an's face turned red and refused to accept the man's apology. He was so angry that he didn't turn his head.
He took his arm to comfort him and said, "I see they are very anxious. If you can remember it, tell them, isn't it a good thing?"
"I don't know where she went!" Li Chang'an said in a low voice, "just now he was still making moves with me. Why should I tell him?"
Li Chang'an turned his eyes and suddenly showed a teasing smile. "I don't know where she went, but I know something else!"
