At noon the next day, Xiao Zhang took advantage of his lunch break to change into casual clothes and went to the He family's club.
"Oh! It's quite lively!"
Standing on the street, Xiao Zhang saw the crowds of people in the store through the window.
There are actually so many people there at noon. How much do these old people like to come to this club?
"It's so scary, I was almost late!"
Just when Xiao Zhang was standing outside the window and about to walk into the store, there was a burst of rapid footsteps behind him.
Xiao Zhang quickly turned around and saw an old man with gray hair running towards him.
"Uncle Feng? You, you are—"
Xiao Zhang checked carefully and found that he knew the person coming.
It was none other than Feng Laoxier, who was famous in their neighborhood.
This old man is definitely a celebrity. He is stingy and afraid of death. He usually rides a tricycle for half an hour just to buy eggs that are a few cents cheaper.
The eight-treasure porridge, canned yellow peaches and other items bought for my children are hard to bear to eat even after they have expired.
Never throw away a pair of socks until they are worn to the point where they cannot be repaired.
The old man is definitely frugal enough, but he is also willing to spend thousands of dollars every month on health care products.
In the past two years, Xiao Zhang also received calls from Uncle Feng's children, and he specifically talked to Uncle Feng and repeatedly advised him not to be deceived.
But, the old man didn't listen at all.
If he talks too much, he scolds these young people for being unkind and not wanting him to maintain his health and live a long life!
Xiao Zhang finally understood the helplessness of Uncle Feng's children, but the police couldn't deal with this kind of thing.
I know that those health care products are scams, but they are operating legally, so I can only watch as the old man sends a lot of money to the scammers.
However, Xiao Zhang remembered clearly that Uncle Feng seemed to be buying health care products at a specialty store near the train station.
I heard that the salesman had a very good relationship with Uncle Feng, and he served him as if he were his own son.
Why did the "brand" suddenly change? Is Stanley Ho more "powerful" than Uncle Feng's exclusive salesman?
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but recall what Aunt Xu said yesterday.
He became more and more suspicious: Ho Hongtu must have carried out false propaganda to make those old people who longed for health and longevity mistakenly believe that the health care products he sold could cure all diseases!
Xiao Zhang's eyes became sharp.
When Uncle Feng heard the voice, he paused for a moment. When he saw it was Xiao Zhang, he said, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhang. Why, are you coming to He's house for dinner too?"
Eat, eat?
Doesn't He's sell health care products? Why has it become a place to eat?
Could it be that the He family started providing free lunches to the elderly for the sake of performance?
"That's not right. If you want to come to dinner, your mother should come. I heard that your mother has cancer?"
Uncle Feng only slowed down, but did not stop completely. He passed directly in front of Xiao Zhang and said: "Oh, how pitiful! But you are quite filial, you know how to come to He's club!" "
"Now that you're here, let's go in quickly. A lunch only costs ten yuan. It has meat, vegetables and soup. Not only can you fill up your stomach, but it can also cure your illness!"
"Hurry up, it's getting late. If it's any later, there will be no food!"
After saying that, before Xiao Zhang could react, the old man stepped out of the way and entered the store in front of him.
"What? Treat, cure a disease?" Xiao Zhang's face became even more ugly. His guess was indeed correct. Stanley Ho not only exaggerated the efficacy of health care products, he even dared to use the word "cure" for a meal. banner!
Bastard!
This kind of obvious fraud cannot be tolerated!
Xiao Zhang no longer hesitated and walked in in a few steps.
After entering the door, Xiao Zhang discovered that the store covered an area of 20 to 30 square meters, and there was a bar near the shelves.
The bar is filled with insulated lunch boxes that are used by several fast food restaurants.
There are three or four kinds of stir-fried vegetables, meatballs, chicken legs, rice and other food in the lunch box.
In the sterilization cabinet next to it are stacks of separated plates, chopsticks and spoons.
"Come for dinner! Ten yuan per person!" There was a cashier at the bar, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.
The little girl is fair and delicate, and when she talks, her eyebrows are curved, which makes people like her just by looking at her.
Seeing the unfamiliar face of Xiao Zhang, she didn't ask any questions. She pointed directly at the bar and disinfection cabinet and introduced: "After paying the money, you can get a plate and put whatever you want on it. There is no limit, but no waste!
"
The time has entered 2015, and smartphones have begun to become popular, but mobile payments have not yet become completely popular.
At least in small counties, most people still pay in cash.
Xiao Zhang took out a ten-yuan note from his wallet, but he did not rush to hand the money to the little girl. Instead, he pretended to be curious and asked: "I heard that eating your food can cure diseases?"
When the little girl heard this, her eyes widened: "Who said that? Isn't this nonsense? Although some Chinese herbal medicines are added to our meals, they are mainly about health care! If you want to cure a disease, turn left when you go out.
Take a taxi to the county hospital at the intersection!"
Xiao Zhang:……
Instead of breathing a sigh of relief, he increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the He family's club.
This is a high-level liar, and he will never promise a "cure for all diseases" or "certainly effective" to his customers.
People will even take the initiative to tell you to go to the hospital if you are sick and not to believe those scammers who sell health care products.
In fact, many old people have been brainwashed by them or have identified them. Even if they push people out, those old people will come back with money.
In this way, even if the children go to the police, the police will not be able to control them.
Because they did not lie to others, but took the initiative to persuade them, but the old people did not listen, and there was nothing they could do.
"Haha, the little girl is quite smart!"
Xiao Zhang was secretly alert, but a smile appeared on his face, and he made a pun.
But the little girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words and asked: "Do you still want to eat? If you want to eat, eat as soon as possible. There is only half an hour left for the meal. At 2:30 in the afternoon, our club has free food.
Foot bath and acupuncture service!”
And those activities will occupy space.
It is impossible to let the diners eat.
Xiao Zhang understood what the little girl meant and was not angry at all. He smiled and handed the money to her, "Okay, I understand, I will do it as soon as possible!"
I paid the money and went to the sterilizer to get the plates. There was not much food left in the lunch box.
Xiao Zhang filled some of each dish, then found a seat to sit down and eat.
The food tastes okay, very light, and more suitable for the elderly.
And if you taste it carefully, there is still a faint smell of Chinese medicine.
It seems that the little girl did not lie. There are indeed Chinese herbal medicines in these meals.
I just don’t know if these traditional Chinese medicines are just a gimmick or if they are really effective.
While eating, Xiao Zhang did not forget to look around.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped because he saw another familiar person.
"Teacher Qi? She, doesn't she have esophageal cancer and needs to go to the provincial capital for surgery?"
Xiao Zhang couldn't believe his eyes. She was obviously suffering from a terminal illness that made her unable to eat, but this old lady was still holding onto a lunch box and eating her meal in small bites!
