Chapter 701 Buying Cabbages

Xiao Liuzi cursed, and when he saw that Sun Bin had already walked away, he showed a trace of disdain on his face and muttered, "Everyone knows what you do for a living! If it weren't for your sister, you would just be a grandson! How dare you look down on your sixth grandfather? Grandma!"

After scolding the person, even though there was no one around him, Xiao Liuzi still felt that he had won. With a smug look on his face, he snorted coldly and walked towards the other side.

It’s just looking for someone, what’s the big deal?

No one wants to play with me, so I play by myself!
After Xiao Liuzi crossed the Dahong Bridge, there was a big market next to the bridge.

It was already evening, and except for a few stalls that had particularly poor business, almost all the stalls had closed.

Xiao Liuzi walked around aimlessly with his hands behind his back, looking around.

"Uncle, come and take a look at my cabbages. They are all very green. How about having one? They are delicious when you take them home to stew, cook fish or make dumplings!" A thin man in tattered clothes whispered to Xiao Liuzi.

The man spoke weakly, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

Hearing someone talking, Xiao Liuzi turned his eyes and saw the thin man. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Were you talking to me just now?"

When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, it's me."

After hearing this, Xiao Liuzi slowly turned around and asked with a smile, "What are you selling?"

"Cabbage! I sell cabbage." The man said hurriedly.

"Selling cabbage, are they ripe?" Xiao Liuzi asked casually.

This sentence amused the cabbage seller, who said with a smile: "Look at what you said, how can you guarantee that the cabbage is ripe? Every cabbage is ripe!"

"What's the price?" Xiao Liuzi asked, looking at the cabbage with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Liuzi didn't look like a customer buying cabbages, so the cabbage seller didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment.

The cabbage seller turned his face away and shouted loudly: "Cabbage, cabbage for sale!"

Xiao Liuzi saw that the cabbage seller ignored him and started shouting. He stretched out his leg and kicked him, saying, "Hey! It was you who called me just now, wasn't it? Why are you ignoring me again when you come over here!"

The cabbage seller took a look at Xiao Liuzi and knew that he couldn't afford to offend this kind of person, so he laughed and said, "Look at what you said, how can I ignore you? I'm trying to attract customers! Two big guys and one cabbage."

In fact, there is one big cabbage for each piece. The purpose of selling cabbage is to make Xiao Liuzi give up, so he said two big cabbages for each piece.

"Two big ones? That's not expensive. I'll take them all!" Xiao Liuzi said carelessly.

“I want all…all…” The cabbage seller was stunned. He didn’t expect that Xiao Liuzi would want all of these cabbages.

"Look at you, what do you mean? Are you selling cabbages? I want them all!" While speaking, Xiao Liuzi took out a silver dollar from his pocket and tossed it in his hand.

"Really? That's great!" The cabbage seller said with a smile when he saw the silver dollar and he wished he could jump three feet high.

"I'll pack it for you right away." The cabbage seller said loudly, grabbing a cloth bag and preparing to put the cabbags into it.

"Wait!" Xiao Liuzi stretched out his hand to stop the cabbage seller and said.

"Wait? What do you mean?" The cabbage seller was stunned, stopped and looked at Xiao Liuzi.

"Do you know who is buying the cabbage?" Xiao Liuzi said to the man selling cabbage.

"Aren't you buying cabbages?" the cabbage seller asked in surprise.

"Nonsense! I'm not buying cabbage. Why should I buy cabbage?" Xiao Liuzi shook his head vigorously and said.

The cabbage seller was really angry. His eyes widened and he shouted, "You kid, you don't want to buy cabbage. Isn't this just making fun of me?"

When Xiao Liuzi saw that the cabbage seller was angry, he himself was not angry at all. He smiled and said, "Look at what you said. We are not related at all. Why should I tease you?"

"Then what are you doing! What does it have to do with me who buys the cabbage!" said the cabbage seller angrily.

"Look at what you said, you're wrong again. How can buying cabbage have nothing to do with you? But you're the one selling cabbages!" Xiao Liuzi spoke in a staccato tone, looking at the cabbage seller with smiling eyes.

"Then tell me, who will buy the cabbages?" the cabbage seller asked harshly.

Xiao Liuzi put away the silver dollar, but then took out a ten-cent bill and handed it over.

The cabbage seller was stunned and hesitated, and did not take the money.

"What are you standing there for? These are sheep's bills, why don't you take them?" Xiao Liuzi said calmly.

The cabbage seller then took the ten cents hesitantly.

"One cent, that's enough to buy five cabbages for you," Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

The cabbage seller nodded, his expression no longer showing the same enthusiasm as before.

"Isn't it to make fun of you? Is there anyone who uses sheep money to make fun of others?" Xiao Liuzi asked seriously again.

This time, the cabbage seller shook his head more decisively.

"Yes! This is real gold and silver!" Xiao Liuzi said, pointing to the sheep bill in the cabbage seller's hand.

The cabbage seller nodded again and again.

"Why did I give you money? That's because I was afraid that you didn't believe me. Now you can listen to me, right?" Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

"Of course, please go ahead." The cabbage seller said quickly.

"Why do I ask you who buys the cabbage? There is a reason." Xiao Liuzi glanced at the man selling cabbage and said with a smile.

"What do you think is the reason?" The cabbage seller was in a good mood and asked Xiao Liuzi.

"There is a fat man in this area, he is about 20 years old, and he is well dressed. He likes to eat cabbage, so he asked me to buy cabbage for him." At this point, Xiao Liuzi smiled and asked the cabbage seller, "Have you seen this man?"

The cabbage seller was stunned and frowned, as if he was thinking carefully. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Fatty likes to eat cabbage? This is a bit far-fetched, right? Anyway, I have never seen this person."

"Think about it again, have you ever seen this person before? You have forgotten!" Xiao Liuzi said again inspiringly.

The cabbage seller shook his head decisively and said, "There really is no such person! Anyway, I have never seen this person."

Xiao Liuzi was not in a hurry at all. He took out another two dimes from his pocket and handed it to the cabbage seller.

The cabbage seller was even more stunned. He looked at the money in Xiao Liuzi's hand. Although his eyes were full of greed, he did not dare to reach out to take it.

"Take it! Don't be polite!" Xiao Liuzi said generously.

"I'm so embarrassed! How can I take your money?" The cabbage seller said vigorously, rubbing his hands.

"What nonsense! Just take it if I tell you to!" Xiao Liuzi said. The cabbage seller hesitated and took the two cents from Xiao Liuzi.

"That's fifteen cabbages!" Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you for helping me buy cabbage." The cabbage seller said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning! Go ask around and see if anyone knows this fat man. If you find out, I'll buy all the cabbages here!" Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

"Really?" said the cabbage seller with a happy face.

"Nonsense, how can I joke with you while holding money? Not to mention today, if you can find this fat man, I will buy cabbage from you for three days... five days!" Xiao Liuzi stretched out a palm and waved it vigorously at the cabbage seller, making the cabbage seller's face turn red with excitement.

"Wait here! I'll go ask for you now!" The cabbage seller said, and without waiting for Xiao Liuzi to reply, he ran out.

"Go, go, and ask nicely." Xiao Liuzi said to the figure selling cabbages with a smile.

The cabbage seller responded from afar and ran even faster.

Xiao Liuzi stood in front of the cabbage stall, smiling so much that he almost wanted to hum Peking Opera.

Why should the cabbage seller be asked?
The reason is simple. The cabbage seller is a familiar face in this area. As the saying goes, it is easier to get things done with acquaintances. Isn't it better for him to come forward than for a stranger like me?
As for spending money to buy cabbage, that is even simpler. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

Even ghosts are trying to push the millstone, let alone a cabbage seller.

If nothing can be learned from the cabbage seller, then Hu Guangli is definitely not here.

Now, all we have to do is wait for the cabbage seller to come back with news.

Thinking of waiting, Xiao Liuzi took a look at the cabbage stall. There was a small bench, but it was pitch black and looked very dirty. Xiao Liuzi thought about it and decided to forget it. He just stood outside and waited for the cabbage seller.

Not far away, several members of the action team walked over.

These people followed Sun Bin's instructions and asked questions very diligently.

Almost everyone I asked said impatiently, "I don't know," and no one wanted to hear about "fat man."

This gave several people a headache, but they couldn't think of any good solution. They could only ask the vendors one by one, but were ruthlessly rejected in the end.

A member of the action team saw Xiao Liuzi, his eyes lit up, and he strode over.

"Lao Cao is here!" A member of the action team greeted with a smile.

Xiao Liuzi's real name is Cao Fadada, and his nickname is Xiao Liuzi.

Everyone called him Xiao Liuzi behind his back; almost no one remembered Cao Fadada's real name.

When Xiao Liuzi saw these members of the action team, he also waved and greeted them with a smile.

"Brothers, what are you busy with? How is the situation going?" Xiao Liuzi asked with a smile.

Several members of the action team ignored Xiao Liuzi's question. One of them pointed at the cabbages on the ground and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, do you want to eat cabbage? What are you doing standing here?"

"Chinese cabbage is actually quite delicious and can be used in stews and fish. Would you like to have two each?" Xiao Liuzi said without changing his expression.

"Let's... just forget it..." A few people said with a laugh, and prepared to leave.

Not far away, the cabbage seller came running over excitedly, and shouted loudly from a distance across the stall: "Sir! Sir! I found the fat man! I found the fat man!"

When several members of the action team saw the cabbage seller running over, they were stunned and looked at Xiao Liuzi in confusion.

Xiao Liuzi waved his hand, stopped the cabbage seller, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, tell me about this fat man you found first, I want to hear if we are looking for the same person."

The cabbage seller heard this and said excitedly, "A fat white man, about 20 years old, sometimes comes by rickshaw, sometimes comes by a black car."

At this point, the cabbage seller said excitedly: "The key is that this fat man has a lover who lives here! So this fat man often comes here, but he has never bought cabbage, so I didn't know! He lives in..."

At this point, Xiao Liuzi stretched out his hand to stop the cabbage seller and shouted, "Stop! No one is allowed to talk anymore!"

The cabbage seller was stunned and looked at Xiao Liuzi in confusion.

Xiao Liuzi chuckled, pointed at the members of the operation team beside him and said, "Wait until they leave, and then tell me quietly."

The members of the action team were stunned after hearing what they heard, and looked at the cabbage seller with excitement on their faces.

The person this guy was talking about just now was not Hu Guangli, so who was it?
I didn't expect that after spending so much time trying, Xiao Liuzi actually figured it out.

"Don't worry, Brother... Cao, why are you so shy? We brothers can just deal with him together!" a member of the action team said hurriedly.

"No, this is a clue I found. I exchanged it for dozens of cabbages. How can I give it to you?" Xiao Liuzi shook his head like a rattle.

"Brother Cao, we can also buy cabbage! Why are you so formal?" a member of the action team said quickly.

"You can also buy cabbage?" Xiao Liuzi heard this, looked at a few people and said with a smile.

"Yes! Of course!" the team members said repeatedly.

"Count how many cabbages are left." Xiao Liuzi said to the cabbage seller.

"There are not many left, just a few dozen." The cabbage seller said hurriedly.

"Don't worry! There are still five days left! Count them all together." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, count them all together!" Several members of the action team said in succession, looking anxious.

"I..." The cabbage seller saw that these people were different from Xiao Liuzi. They were all dressed neatly, and some even had pens in their shirt pockets. It was even harder to tell where they came from, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the cabbage seller didn't dare to speak, Xiao Liuzi smiled faintly and said to the few people: "Brother, the cabbage seller is too polite. I'm embarrassed to name the price. So, let me say it."

When several people heard this, they hurriedly said, "Brother Cao, just tell us quickly so that we can go and catch him. We must not let him get away!"

When the cabbage seller heard the word "arrest someone", he was even more shocked and looked at Xiao Liuzi with uneasiness.

"Don't be afraid! We will arrest him, not you." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile, then turned his eyes and looked at the members of the action team and said, "No more nonsense! That's it, one price, one dollar per person!"

One dollar!

Xiao Liuzi's words instantly made these people explode. One of them even jumped up and said, "What! You want one dollar from us? Is this cabbage made of gold?"

After hearing this, Xiao Liuzi ignored these people and asked calmly: "Let's not waste time talking. I just want to ask you a question. Will you give it to me?" (End of this chapter)
