Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 254 Oppa, here I come.

The first time I went to Incheon Chinatown was to prepare to meet Lee Ji-eun's family tomorrow.

Originally, Qi Yaojiu wanted to go to Dalindong, where many people from China who came to Seoul to do business gathered and lived, and there were many food stores, supermarkets and various vendors.

But in the end, Qi Yaojiu still went to Chinatown. After all, he was buying gifts, so he couldn't just bring some steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, spicy strips, potato chips, drinks, etc. from the small supermarket.

It is similar to the Chinatown you imagine. In fact, Chinatowns around the world are all similar, with grand archways, traditional Chinese-style buildings, red elements everywhere on the streets, and so on.

There were not many people on the street, and all he could hear was conversations in Chinese. Qi Yaojiu was in a good mood, and he really had the feeling of an overseas wanderer finding home.

It's just that his appearance is too Chinese now, so when Qi Yaojiu came to a store that sells all kinds of liquor, tea, cigarettes and other items, the owner's first reaction when he saw him was to speak Chinese and greet him: "Esaiwusaiyo (Welcome)."

Are pronunciation and intonation also unified globally? When foreigners land in a country, their intonation will automatically have a dialect flavor.

Qi Yaojiu responded with a smile: "Hello, boss."

The boss was stunned for two seconds and looked at Qi Yaojiu again. Perhaps in his eyes, Qi Yaojiu was a H countryman. He wondered why he could speak fluent and standard Mandarin that was not like other H countrymen, but even more standard than his own.

Unable to resist his curiosity, the boss asked Qi Yaojiu, "Are you Chinese?"

Qi Yaojiu did not give a direct answer. It was not that he did not want to admit it, but it was useless for the boss to say that he was Chinese. If the boss wanted to proceed to the next step of confirmation, Qi Yaojiu would have to provide the actual login information of the registration document for Wancai Island.

Then it will be misunderstood and considered as a deliberate joke or deception.

Based on these considerations, Qi Yaojiu was right not to give a direct answer. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Boss, do you have Moutai here?"

The boss immediately said, "Yes, do you want to use it as a gift? Come over here and take a look."

The boss led me to the wine cabinet, where there was Moutai, but there were many types under the brand. I also saw some other Chinese liquors, such as Wuliangye, 1573, Luzhou Laojiao, Xinghua Village, etc.

Of course, it also includes the more cost-effective Red Star Erguotou, Niulanshan, etc.

However, Yantai Baijiu, which is popular in many restaurants in Seoul, is not available here.

Qi Yaojiu scanned the area and asked, "Does Feitian have a white box?"

The boss said subconsciously: "You know about liquor, yes, we have it, but we don't have much so we don't display it, but the price..."

Qi Yaojiu doesn't care about the price.

This is what he thought when he first heard the boss talk about the price.

How expensive can it be?

In 09, a bottle of Feitian was around RMB 700. Qi Yaojiu remembered this as the price his friend who bought the wine told him when he was drinking it.

If calculated in H yuan, based on the current ratio of about 1:200 (it was higher in 09, so it was a mistake to calculate BD if there was an error), the price of a bottle is 14 H yuan.

But after the boss took out a bottle of Feitian Moutai, he quoted Qi Yaojiu a price of 30 H yuan per bottle.

Qi Yaojiu didn't even hesitate and turned around and left the store.

The boss behind me said, "Purely imported ones have to pay tariffs, and Feitian Moutai is very scarce. I'm the only one in Chinatown that has it, and there are only two bottles left."

Qi Yaojiu turned a deaf ear.

In his eyes, this kind of sales method is simply child's play.

Half an hour later, Qi Yaojiu returned to the store again.

In fact, the Chinese who went overseas to work in the early days were really sincere. Sales methods and scams were only a small probability event after all. This boss was very straightforward. There was really no other place like him in the whole Chinatown.

The boss still smiled and greeted Qi Yaojiu who had returned. There was no trace of sarcasm on his face. He said enthusiastically, "I'm really not trying to rip you off. You must know the price of Feitian in China. It's just the tariffs and labor costs. It will cost at least 30 H yuan."

Qi Yaojiu felt embarrassed and started to list the items he needed without bargaining.

Two bottles of Feitian Moutai, two packs of Huazi cigarettes, two boxes of Yuqian Longjing tea, two boxes of peanut cookies, and two boxes of moon cakes.

In the end, the boss gave a discount, firmly believing that Qi Yaojiu was a compatriot who came to Seoul from China to work hard, and he guessed that he bought these things as gifts for his boss, as Chinese people pay attention to buying things in pairs.

"Here, it's really lonely to be alone in a foreign country during the holidays."

After being forced to eat two bulk beef mooncakes, Qi Yaojiu suddenly became a little sentimental.

On the way back to Sangam-dong Apartment, sitting in the back seat, Ki Yo-gu ate mooncakes and recalled many things. Some of them were just memories, the familiar land and the familiar people, but his identity was different, and everything was different.

Will those people be sad? Will they think of me often? I don’t know whether I have become a vegetable lying in a hospital bed like in the TV drama or...

10 month 3 number.

Qi Yaojiu got up at around 7 o'clock in the morning.

I didn't go to the beauty salon, but I washed and dressed carefully at home, and used a hair dryer and hairspray to style my thick, black hair.

Sancheng Cave.

After getting up, Lee Ji-eun felt regretful while brushing her teeth.

The alarm clock that started at 6 o'clock didn't ring. If Lee Ji-eun hadn't woken up suddenly, she wouldn't have dared to do what happened next.

The original plan was to get up at 6 o'clock, wash up and go to the beauty salon first.

This is somewhat related but not a big deal. I just want my grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin who came from Gwangju to see how hard I am working in Seoul.

It's not an idol burden, I just want those who have always cared about me to be able to see that I am getting better and better, so that my family can rest assured.

Unfortunately, I got up too late, and I’m afraid it will be too late if I go to the beauty salon now.

After brushing her teeth, IU, still struggling, muttered to herself in the mirror: "3 minutes to shower, 2 minutes to get dressed and go out."

"Ah~"

"5 minutes to shower, 3 minutes to get dressed and go out?"

"Well, that's the way to go. Luckily, I came back last night and prepared the clothes I'm going to wear today in advance."

As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun turned on the shower, and her depression came back. She didn't know if it was because the gas was out or the water heater was broken, but only cold water came out and no hot water.

Gritting her teeth, IU still took a shower. Thanks to the cold water, this shower broke IU's fastest shower record, taking only 3 minutes and 52 seconds.

I always wash more carefully than boys, even when using cold water.

Sangam-dong Apartment.

8:40 am.

Qi Yaojiu ate the spine soup rice he ordered from takeout at a leisurely pace.

This is a preparation in advance. Instead of taking any hangover medicine, Qi Yaojiu feels it is safer to eat something to fill his stomach first.

I don’t want to guess. They will definitely drink a lot of alcohol when they go to Li Zhien’s parents’ house today. As for the other things, Qi Yaojiu didn’t think much about it. Things will work out when the time comes.

Ding

A text message alert sounds.

Qi Yaojiu opened his phone and clicked to enter the dialog box.

The message was from Lee Ji-eun, and it simply said, "Oppa, I'll be there in 5 minutes."

After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Qi Yaojiu calmly gathered the takeaway garbage together.

Before going out, I checked my attire and appearance and went downstairs with my coat in hand.

street.

After throwing away the garbage, Qi Yaojiu waited for Li Zhien.

The taxi slowly stopped, and Li Zhien, who was sitting in the back seat, waved and said, "Oppa, I'm here."

Then there was another exclamation: "Oppa looks so handsome today."

Finally, I saw a lot of things on the ground and said, "What are these?"

These three short sentences make the order clear at a glance.
