Well, he's still a child. Is it really that immoral to be so happy about him being tortured by a pervert?
Pah! What's the point of me being so moral about his child? It's better if he goes to jail and suffers!
Am I being too cruel to curse a child like this...?
Forget it, I'm not going to dwell on it anymore. The child is secondary; finding that mistress is the most important thing.
So, after paying, the bespectacled man in Poirot's Café, with his fingers delicately gesturing and his hips swaying, walked away from the café with a cat-like gait.
Xiao Zi was stunned and exclaimed that she was not feminine enough.
After leaving Poirot Cafe, Fujimine Yukiko returned to normal. She took a few steps, turned a corner, and went into the fruit shop next door in Jiangcheng North.
Standing in the store and looking around, I realized that in just one day, the layout and decorations had changed dramatically. It was neat and clean. Sure enough, the blond-haired, dark-skinned guy who almost became my colleague was capable and hardworking. It was a pity that he had a problem with his eyes and ended up with a heartless boss who wasn't human.
Fortunately, my surname, Tengfeng, is auspicious, preventing me from going astray and becoming an exploitative slave to a heartless boss.
Yukiko looked around, then finally chose a large durian, pointed to it, and said to Jiang Chengbei, who was lounging in his armchair drinking tea and enjoying the air conditioning, only concerned with his own comfort and not getting up to greet customers:
"Boss, a durian, please."
Buy durian? Are you going to make Yusaku Kudo kneel on it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengbei immediately lost interest.
So, Jiang Chengbei didn't even look up, glanced at the effeminate man, and then, thinking about how the durian was covered in thorns and prickly, making it difficult to handle, he finally said impatiently, "Take it yourself."
Yukiko: "..."
"I want it already peeled, could you please come and peel it for me?"
Peeled? So that means kneeling on a durian peel? You can't even bear to part with a whole durian? And you forgive him just for kneeling on a durian? Yukiko is way too easygoing.
While inwardly grumbling, Jiang Chengbei lay back in his armchair and casually replied, "Peel it yourself."
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei had customers coming in, but they were too lazy to move an inch, Yukiko was speechless.
"Boss, this kind of attitude towards customers won't do."
When running a business, you need to be diligent in serving customers.
Even if you, the boss, don't want to move, you can have the guy handing out flyers outside come back inside to serve customers.
It's so hot outside right now, and there aren't many people on the streets. Handing out flyers is too inefficient. You might as well have him come back and peel durians for me.
I want to buy pre-peeled ones. If the owner refuses to peel them himself or doesn't let the staff come back to peel them, I won't buy them.
"If you're not going to buy anything, then leave. I let you stay in the store for free and enjoy the air conditioning, and I didn't say anything. What's the point of you whining if you're just here to enjoy the air conditioning without buying anything?"
Yukiko had originally wanted to let the blond guy outside come in and rest for a bit, but the heartless boss wouldn't have given in. She tried her best, but failed, and said with great dissatisfaction:
"Who said I'm just using the air conditioning for free?"
I came here to buy fruit. Didn't I say I wanted to buy durian when I came in?
It's your attitude, boss, that's the problem. You speak rudely and have absolutely no service awareness. You wouldn't even peel a durian for me. That's why I'm dissatisfied and don't want to buy anything anymore.
It's your poor service attitude that's the problem, not that I don't want to buy, understand?
"Stop pretending. You would buy durian? I don't believe it for a second."
I've seen plenty of people like you. You're just looking for trouble. You made me peel a durian first, and then, full of hope, you made me get pricked by the thorns while peeling it.
After I've peeled it, you'll definitely find an excuse not to take it, leaving me with the stench of durian all over the house, and then you'll leave gracefully.
That's definitely what you're planning, right?
"You don't want to buy durian, so hurry up and leave. Stop pretending."
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Yukiko, hidden behind the human skin mask, was immediately shocked: Could this person read minds?
When she first saw the durian, that was her thought. She wanted to use Jiang Chengbei's method to get a little revenge on that heartless boss, since he had ruthlessly driven her away yesterday.
However, even though the unscrupulous shopkeeper saw through her little scheme, she couldn't admit it. So, while getting the durian herself, Yukiko said:
"Boss, what nonsense are you talking about? This is slander, blatant slander. I'm not the kind of pervert you're talking about. Why would I do such a thing?"
I really came here to buy durians, I'm not kidding.
"Fine, I won't argue with you, you unscrupulous boss. To prove I really came to buy durian, I'll peel it myself, and I'll buy it myself. Is that alright?"
After saying that, Yukiko seemed to be provoked by Jiang Chengbei's words, "You're not going to buy it anyway," and angrily began to peel the durian.
As a result, when she got angry, and being a novice at the time, she was peeling a durian for the first time. Her movements were a bit rough, and she wasn't wearing gloves. As a result, she really suffered. Her delicate little hands were pricked by the durian's thorns several times, and she was in great pain.
Yukiko never imagined peeling a durian could be so difficult. After peeling off a few segments, her hands ached so much she couldn't continue. So she took the box containing the peeled flesh and went to Jiang Chengbei, who was lying motionless.
"It's too hard to peel. I only managed to peel these. If you can peel them for me, I'll buy them all. But if you don't peel them, I only want these. How much?"
"3 yen per catty. Since you have a little over a catty, I'll give you a discount and round it down to 3. Take it for 3."
"30,000 yuan a pound? You're robbing me! You're selling durians for such a high price? I'm going to report you to the Consumer Association!"
“I sell a whole durian for 3,000 yuan per kilogram, but yours is already peeled and pure flesh, so 30,000 yuan per kilogram is also reasonable.”
"But I peeled these myself!"
"But you didn't want the big chunk that was left after you peeled it, so I had to throw away the durian peel, right?"
I need to consider the losses you'll incur after peeling the rest. If you take the whole thing, I'll charge you 3 yuan per kilogram.
"You swindler! I don't want it anymore!"
After saying that, Yukiko threw the durian at Jiang Chengbei and prepared to leave angrily.
Although Jiang Chengbei looked lazy, he was quick and agile. Before the box of durians was even opened, he reached out, grabbed a piece, and ate it with relish.
While eating, he said to Yukiko, who was about to leave, "I told you you wouldn't buy it, and now it's come true."
Luckily I had the foresight not to peel the durian for you, otherwise I would have suffered a huge loss.
But thank you anyway for peeling the durian. If you'd like more durians, I can peel them for you for free.
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei had eaten the durian she had painstakingly peeled, Yukiko was furious:
"Boss, is this how you do business? You're keeping all the valuable fruit for yourself, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Jiang Chengbei: My fruit is priced directly at its origin, and the shop assistants don't need to be paid wages. How could I possibly lose money?
Chapter 156 They don't even provide eel rice to customers, Touko, what kind of employee are you working at the fruit shop?
Amuro Tooru gritted his teeth and worked at Jiang Chengbei's place for several days. Although he often eavesdropped on Jiang Chengbei and Conan's conversations, and whenever no one was watching him, he would rummage around, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any useful clues.
That day, neither Jiang Chengbei nor Conan were there; only Amuro Tooru was dozing in the shop. Just then, a customer came in to pick out fruit, and as he did so, he said, seemingly casually:
"Hey buddy, are you the only one here today? Isn't your boss here?"
"Yes, our boss isn't here. What would you like to order, sir?"
"I'd like a durian, how much per pound?"
"3000 yen per pound."
"Okay, I'll take this. Could you help me open and peel it?"
"No problem." Amuro Tooru greeted him with a smile, and after weighing the meat, he skillfully helped the customer open the package, peel it, and remove the meat.
While Amuro was peeling a durian, three more children came into the fruit shop.
As soon as they arrived, they approached Amuro Tooru, who was peeling a durian, and then they all covered their noses and started talking all at once:
"Dark-skinned brother, you smell awful!"
"Hey, how long has it been since you took a shower?"
"Brother Blackie, it's amazing that you can find a job and have someone hire you, even though you smell so bad."
Amuro Tooru's face darkened at what he was being said, but being good-natured, he still smiled and said:
"Don't call me Blackie, my name is Amuro Tooru, you can call me Amuro-nii. Also, it's not that I smell bad, it's that this fruit smells bad, you can smell it if you don't believe me."
After hearing Amuro Tooru's words, the three little ones stepped forward and sniffed the air, saying in unison, "Okay, Blackie-nii-nii-nii."
Toru Amuro: "..."
"Brother Blackie, this fruit is rotten, why don't you throw it away?"
"This fruit is durian. It naturally has a strange smell; it just smells bad, but it tastes quite delicious."
"Besides, this uncle had already bought the durian; I was just helping him open it."
After hearing Amuro Tooru's explanation, the three little ones started frowning again as they spoke:
"They even bring out rotten fruit to sell. Blackie's skin is dark, and so is his heart."
The three kids' words left Amuro Tooru speechless. Unable to reason with the children, he had no choice but to change the subject:
"Children, what do you want to buy in the store?"
Sure enough, when you can't reason with children, changing the subject is the best way. After hearing Amuro Tooru's words, one of the fat men couldn't wait to answer, "I'm hungry, give me an eel rice bowl first."
"Huh? Eel rice?"
Amuro Tooru doubted whether he had misheard, but after asking again in disbelief and seeing the fat man nod confidently, he could only laugh and say:
"Little friend, this is a fruit shop, we don't sell eel rice. If you want to eat eel rice, please go to a restaurant."
The chubby boy ignored Amuro Tooru's advice and instead started complaining, "You don't even have eel rice? How do you run a shop?"
Amuro Tooru was speechless for a moment, and could only emphasize again: "Kid, we are a fruit shop!"
Seeing Amuro Tooru emphasize it again, the chubby boy got annoyed and retorted bluntly, "I know this is a fruit shop, but you don't even have eel rice. That's terrible."
Toru Amuro:......
Seeing Amuro Tooru's speechless expression after being teased, Yukiko, who often disguises herself and comes here to scout the place, almost burst out laughing. These kids are so funny.
The three little ones didn't keep Yukiko waiting long. After the chubby boy expressed his disappointment, a pockmarked little boy continued:
"No eel rice, but surely you have a children's encyclopedia? Give me a children's encyclopedia about astronomy, quick."
"No, I don't have an encyclopedia here. I only have various fruits and food. I don't have any books!"
Amuro Tooru had never encountered such a bizarre customer, almost as unreliable as his boss. However, being good-natured, he could only roll his eyes at the ceiling in annoyance before lowering his head and flashing his standard smile at the three adorable children:
"Kids, if you want to eat eel rice, please go to a restaurant. If you want to buy books, please go to a bookstore. This is a fruit shop; we don't have these things here. Do you understand?"
