Tiger Police

Chapter 326 Sugar Fried Chestnuts
Tan Tao explained: "Fatty Ding and I are buddies, he is older than me... Well, I'll just say it straight. Boss, why don't you help me, if there is a suitable girl... introduce me too .”

The last few words he said were a little embarrassing, but also very sincere.

Hu Pingtao suddenly realized: "After a long time, is this what you really want to say?"

Tan Tao had the urge to cover his face: "... I seldom beg for help... Even Fatty Ding has a girlfriend, I... I... oh..."

Hu Pingtao was confused: "You think I run a marriage agency?"

Without waiting for Tan Tao to answer, he continued: "I can only say try my best. This kind of thing can't be forced. When I go back, I will ask my wife if she has any suitable women. If so, I will help you another day." Make an appointment and talk about it yourself."

Tan Tao suddenly became beaming with joy: "Okay! That's the deal."

……

Back in the office, Tan Tao received a call from the [-] Command Center and took people out.

More than ten minutes later, the command center sent another message: a dispute occurred in the Xikou vegetable market.

Hu Pingtao rushed to the scene with an auxiliary police officer.

At the "Ding" intersection to the east of the vegetable market, a large group of people gathered to watch the fun, blocking the intersection.

Electric cars can't get in at all.Helpless, Hu Pingtao had no choice but to park the car outside, get out and walk in.

The victim is a man and a woman.

The man was a young man in his 20s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

The woman is the proprietress of the roasted seeds and nuts shop.

Hu Pingtao asked about the situation in a few words.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, roasted seeds and nuts shops also sell fried chestnuts according to market demand.This shop is mainly run by this woman, and her craftsmanship is still very good. The sugar-fried chestnuts are not fried with a machine, but the traditional routine is followed, with a shovel turning the sand, pure physical work.

Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar have to be fried in one pot.After frying in a pot, pour it into a sieve, filter out the sugar sand, and the rest is hot, delicious and refreshing cooked chestnuts.

Roasted seeds and nuts shop business is good, there are often people queuing up to buy.Under normal circumstances, the sugar-fried chestnuts that come out of the pan are sold out before they are completely cooled.

There were few customers at noon, so the proprietress took advantage of the spare time to stir-fry two pots of chestnuts. As soon as she picked up the bowl to eat, a woman came.

The woman was in her 40s and well-dressed.When she came in, she picked up a chestnut and peeled it, and asked as she peeled it, "How much is a catty of fried chestnuts?"

The proprietress has been busy all morning, she is very hungry, and she is busy eating, so she casually replied: "19 yuan."

The woman lowered the price with her mouth open: "It's expensive! Will it be sold at fifteen?"

Although the proprietress has a big shoulder and a round waist, it is very laborious to wield a shovel to stir-fry dozens of catties of chestnuts at a time.She shook her head and refused to give up the price, but the woman didn't say anything, she threw the peeled chestnuts into her mouth... she probably thought it tasted good, so she said, "Weigh it for five yuan for me."

The proprietress was a little unhappy at the time—the businessman was very good at judging people, and a catty of fried chestnuts in sugar was not much at first, and half a catty was only about ten yuan.Press halfway down, and it only costs five yuan, which is not easy to weigh.I definitely don't want to have less guests, but I feel uncomfortable if I have more.After all, chestnuts are not like peanuts and melon seeds. It is easy to balance with more or less.It weighs a lot, and its purchase price is not cheap.

What's more, you tasted one when you asked the price just now, isn't that money?
When the door is open for business, only customers come.The proprietress thought about it and felt that it was not worth getting angry about such a thing, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and weighed chestnuts for the woman.But in the process of bagging, the woman peeled another chestnut and ate it. The proprietress felt more and more unhappy, but after thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn't be too stingy, and at the same time she wanted to win over repeat customers, so she didn't say anything , just speed up the action on the hand.

She has seen this kind of person a lot.As long as things are not weighed and paid for, they will continue to "taste" them.

The proprietress moved very quickly, and handed the fried chestnuts to the woman, who took it and took out her mobile phone to scan the code to pay.

Note that payment is "prepared", not already paid.

At this moment, a young man who just came out of the vegetable market walked by.He knew the woman, so he casually greeted her.The woman also exchanged some polite greetings, and the conversation between the two of them was nothing more than "what kind of vegetables did you buy", "the roasted seeds and nuts in this store are very good, and the fried chestnuts in sugar are delicious" and so on.

Speaking of sugar-fried chestnuts, the woman picked up the ones she had just weighed and showed them to the young man.The young man was very interested, so he opened the paper bag and took a look inside.

The woman may think that chestnuts are delicious, so she picks up another chestnut from the pile of fried chestnuts, peels off the shell, and stuffs it into her mouth.

Now the proprietress can't sit still anymore—I can give you a taste before buying something, but now that you've paid for it, I'll give you the chestnuts too.You don't eat your own, you always eat mine, what do you mean?Besides, you didn't buy much, and the fried chestnuts cost only five yuan in total, and there were only seven or eight in the bag. If I ate three of them at once, it would add up to several yuan. money.

Thinking of this, the proprietress frowned and said to the woman, "This thing is expensive, and you buy very little, so don't keep trying it."

A very common sentence immediately poked a hornet's nest.

The woman screamed at the time: "What's the matter if I taste it? I don't want to buy it after tasting it."

The proprietress was not to be outdone, and argued with her hands on her hips: "Are you going to taste it? You have eaten so much, and you don't want to see how much you buy?"

The woman's face was full of anger: "How can there be a business like yours? Buying things and not letting you taste them? Okay, since you said so, I don't want this chestnut."

She turned to leave, but the proprietress rushed out of the shop and grabbed her.

"Why should I give you a refund? You ate so many chestnuts from me, and if you say no, you don't want it? No way!"

The woman struggled vigorously and screamed repeatedly: "I just don't want it. I've never seen someone like you. Buy and sell by force. I don't want... I just won't buy your stuff today!"

The proprietress was full of anger, but she thought that what the woman said had some truth, so she settled for the next best thing: "Okay! You don't need the chestnuts for five yuan, but the ones you ate just now must be counted as money."

Do business with reason.In all fairness, you can taste something when you buy something, but everything should not be overdone.Since the sale fails and the two sides are tearing apart, it is not a "taste". In short, you can either spit out what you eat, or give money, and you can choose one of the two.

A woman has her own logic.Shaking off the proprietress's hand vigorously, she pointed at the other party and yelled repeatedly: "Why should I pay? Can't you taste the things you bought?"

At this time, the people nearby gathered around.

The proprietress repeatedly reprimanded: "Have you tasted it like this? You can taste it like three. Do you want to take my whole shop back to you? Let me tell you, I must give you the money!"

In this way, the two quarreled without giving an inch.

The onlookers are not good at interrupting, so they can only listen.

The young man and the woman are acquaintances, and they want to speak for them, but after thinking about it carefully, it is true that women do not take advantage of this matter, but "human thinking" has the upper hand.

He said to the proprietress: "She tasted three of your fried chestnuts just now. How about this? You take three back from the bag and pay for the rest, isn't that all right?"

Before the proprietress could answer, the woman quickly stopped the young man, grabbed the paper bag containing chestnuts from him, raised her hand and pointed at the proprietress angrily, "Why do you want to pay her back? Why don't you let me buy something? You won't give it to me. Prefer!"

The proprietress was so angry that she said, "Anyone can taste it, but you can't!"

Hearing what the proprietress said, the woman suddenly became furious: "I just tasted it today, how dare you do anything to me?"

As she spoke, the woman threw herself in front of the big chestnut sieve, grabbed several handfuls of chestnuts and stuffed them into paper bags.

She was moving fast, and with all the attention on the fight, no one expected her to do that.Including the proprietress, just watching like this, my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't think of stepping forward to stop it... Finally came to my senses, the woman had already filled the entire paper bag bulging, and it seemed to weigh at least three catties.

"What are you doing? Put my things down!"

The proprietress wanted to step forward to stop the woman, but she was standing outside the store during the quarrel just now, and there was a counter between the woman and her.The onlookers blocked the passage to enter the store from the side, so she could only point to the woman standing in the store, and said angrily and anxiously: "Put it down, or I will call the police!"

The woman looked at her with hatred and contempt: "Report it! You think I'm afraid of you!"

After finishing speaking, she dodged and left the roasted seeds and nuts shop from the side.

The proprietress was anxious and hurried to chase outside, but the onlookers blocked the road with three floors outside, and when she finally squeezed out, the woman had already gone so far that she couldn't even see her shadow.

Because I was the only one in the store, if I continued to chase, no one would watch the store, and the loss might be even greater, and the proprietress had to turn back.

Fortunately, the young man is still alive.

The proprietress grabbed him and refused to let go of anything: "Everyone saw that she took at least three catties of fried chestnuts from me just now, and you have to pay."

There is a reason for her to do so—the young man and the woman know each other, and if he runs away from the monk, he cannot run away from the temple.Since you can't find the right owner, ask her acquaintances for money.

"You two belong together."

"What do you mean by this? Don't buy it if you can't afford it. It's open in broad daylight. What kind of place do you think this is?"

"I'm telling you, I've already called my man. You have to give the money today, or I'll let you go around without food!"

The young man was also dumbfounded by the woman's previous series of operations.He never dreamed that a woman would do this, so he became impatient, and quickly argued to draw a line with her, and said to the proprietress: "What does this have to do with me? Whoever takes your chestnuts, who are you looking for! Why are you looking for me?"

"If I don't ask you, who will I look for?" The proprietress was very angry, her face was full of anger: "You are together. She robbed me, so I can only ask you for it. You must pay the money, otherwise I will call the police."

"Then you report it!" The young man repeatedly defended: "I also suggest that you better call the police. Actually, I don't know her, but I often meet her when I buy vegetables in the vegetable market, and she nods."

I couldn't explain it clearly, so I called the police.

……

Both sides hold their ground.

The cause is simple and the process is not complicated.When the woman snatched chestnuts, there were dozens of witnesses on the scene.

Hu Pingtao stepped forward and asked the young man, "Since you don't know that woman, why did you take the initiative to say hello?"

This is the key.

The young man was full of anxiety: "I just know her... no, we should meet often. I like to eat tofu, and she also likes to buy tofu. It's the tofu shop on the west side of the vegetable market, and she and I often meet. The more times you do it, the more familiar you will be.”

The people around suddenly burst into laughter.

"I like tofu, and I'm still a woman... Hahahaha!"

"That's right, I met a woman when I was buying tofu."

"Could it be that I really want to eat tofu!"

Hu Pingtao also found it funny: "Since we are acquaintances, you should have her phone number, right?"

The young man shook his head: "No. Although I've seen her a lot, I really don't know her, and I'm not a friend."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "Do you know where she lives?"

Still the young man shook his head.

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes, pointed with his fingers and said, "You don't know the woman's name, phone number, where she lives and where she works... Generally speaking, you don't know anything about her. That's it, you Greet people as soon as we meet. If I were to change this kind of thing, I would definitely feel that you are in the same group!"

The young man kept yelling at Qu: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything!"

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "It's true that she robbed other people's fried chestnuts. You said you didn't know that woman, but you talked to her before, and so many people saw it. Do you care about this?" No matter how you do it, you can’t deny it.”

The young man stomped his feet and swore: "I don't know her! I really don't know her!"

Hu Pingtao waved his hand: "Okay, it's useless to talk about it now. Here, look over there."

Following the direction he pointed, the young man saw a surveillance camera installed on a pole on the sidewalk tens of meters away, facing this side.

"There is surveillance and there are witnesses. No matter how you explain it, it's useless." Hu Pingtao's tone was very serious.

The young man was tongue-tied: "I... I really didn't collude with that woman!"

Hu Pingtao stared at him: "You understand, the nature of this matter is very bad. This is no longer a dispute in the ordinary sense, but a robbery."

The man was stunned.

Hu Pingtao continued: "Conflicts can be mediated, and problems can be solved. But what does it mean to say that you can't do it, and run away after robbing others? A bag of fried chestnuts is not worth much, only a few dozen It's just a block. I'll say the same thing—this is robbery, and I'm going to jail."

The expression on the man's face suddenly became extremely complicated.

Hu Pingtao struck while the iron was hot: "Think about it, if you can't find that woman, you have to take care of it yourself."

"Come back to the police station with us now, make a record first, and then notify your family and work unit."

"I repeat, this is robbery, not an ordinary fight."
