The beginning is a liar (16)
At noon the next day, Xiao Zhang took advantage of the lunch break, changed into casual clothes and came to the He family’s club.
“Oh! It’s quite lively!”
Standing on the street, Xiao Zhang saw the crowd in the store through the window.
There are so many people at noon, how much do these old people like to come to this club?
It’s so hot, I was almost late!”
Just as Xiao Zhang was standing outside the window and was about to lift his foot into the shop, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him.
Xiao Zhang hurriedly turned his head, just in time to see a gray-haired old man rushing over.
“Uncle Feng? You, you are—”
Xiao Zhang carefully identified it and found that he knew the person who came.
It’s not someone else, it’s Feng Laoxier, who is famous near them.
This old man is definitely a celebrity, stingy, afraid of death, usually in order to buy a few cents cheaper eggs, can ride a small three-wheeled road for half an hour.
The eight-treasure porridge, canned yellow peaches and other items bought by the children are too late to be eaten.
A pair of socks, don’t throw them away if you don’t wear them to the point where they can’t be repaired.
The old man is definitely thrifty but he is willing to spend thousands of dollars on health care products every month.
In the past two years, Xiao Zhang also received an alarm from Uncle Feng’s children, specifically to talk to Uncle Feng and repeatedly persuaded him not to be deceived.
But the old man doesn’t listen at all.
Perhaps he talked a little too much, so the old man scolded his children for being uneasy and unkind, not to see him maintaining health and longevity!
Xiao Zhang can be regarded as fully understanding the helplessness of Uncle Feng’s children but this kind of thing is not easy for the police to manage.
I know that those health care products are deceptive but they are legally operating and they can only watch the old man send a lot of money to the scammer.
It’s just that Xiao Zhang remembers clearly that Uncle Feng seemed to buy health care products in a specialty store near the train station.
I heard that the salesperson has a very good relationship with Uncle Feng and he serves the old man just like his son.
Why did you suddenly change the “brand”? Is He Hongtu more “powerful” than the salesman exclusively reserved for Feng Uncle?
Xiao Zhang couldn’t help but recall what Aunt Xu said yesterday.
He became more and more suspicious: He Hongtu must have carried out false propaganda, making those old people who desire health and longevity mistakenly believe that the health care products he sells can cure all diseases!
Xiao Zhang’s eyes became sharp.
Uncle Feng paused when he heard the sound. He saw that it was Xiao Zhang and said: “Oh, it’s Xiao Zhang. Are you here to eat?”
Eat? eating food?
Isn’t Hejia selling health products? Why has it become a place to eat again?
Could it be that for the sake of performance, the He family began to provide free lunches to the elderly.
“That’s not right. If you want to eat, it should be your mother. I heard that your mother has cancer?”
Uncle Feng just slowed down, but didn’t stop completely. He directly passed by Xiao Zhang and said, “Oh, pitiful! But you kid is still filial and you still know to come to the club! “
“Since you are here, let’s go in quickly. A lunch is only ten yuan. There is meat, vegetables and soup. Not only can you eat but also cure the disease!”
“Hurry up, it’s getting late, if it’s later, there will be no food!”
After finishing speaking, before Xiao Zhang could react, the old man stepped forward and entered the storefront in front of him.
“What? Eat food and cure?” Xiao Zhang’s expression became more ugly. He didn’t guess wrong. He Hongtu not only exaggerated the efficacy of health products, he even dared to “cure” even after a meal as a banner!
What an asshole!!
This kind of scam is absolutely unbearable!
Xiao Zhang stopped hesitating, and walked a few steps.
After entering the door, Xiao Zhang discovered that there was a full twenty to thirty square meters of storefront and there was a bar near the shelves.
The bar counter is filled with several kinds of heat-preservation lunch boxes special for fast food restaurants.
Three or four kinds of stir-fried vegetables, meatballs, chicken legs, rice and other foods are placed in the lunch box.
And in the disinfection cabinet on the side there are stacks of separate plates, chopsticks and spoons.
“Come for lunch! Ten yuan per person!” By the bar is the cashier, who looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.
The little girl is fair and beautiful and her eyebrows are crooked when she speaks, which makes people like it when they look at it.
Seeing Xiao Zhang’s raw face, she didn’t ask much, pointed directly at the bar and disinfection cabinet and introduced: “After paying the money, take a dinner plate by yourself and serve whatever you want, it’s unlimited but don’t waste it! “
It is now 2015 and smart phones have begun to become popular but mobile payment has 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 pass the money to the little girl but pretended to ask curiously: “I heard that your family’s food can be cured after eating?”
When the little girl heard this, her eyes widened: “Who said that? This is totally nonsense. Although some Chinese herbs are added to our meals, the main thing is health preservation and health care! If you want to treat a disease, turn left when you go out. Take a taxi at the intersection to the county hospital!”
Xiao Zhang:…
He did not breathe a sigh of relief, on the contrary, he increasingly felt that there was a problem with the He family’s club.
This is a high-level scammer and he will never promise customers anything to “cure all diseases” and “must be effective”.
People will even take the initiative to tell you, go to the hospital if you are sick and don’t trust the scammers who sell health care products.
In fact, many old people have been brainwashed by them or have recognized 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 it.
Because they didn’t lie to others, they took the initiative to persuade them but the old people didn’t listen, they couldn’t do anything about it.
“Hehe, the little girl is pretty smart!”
Xiao Zhang secretly increased his vigilance but there was a smile on his face, he said with a pun.
The little girl didn’t seem to understand the deep meaning of his words and asked: “Are you still going to eat? If you want to eat, then please eat as soon as possible, there is only half an hour left for meal time. At 2:30 in the afternoon, our club also has free Foot bath and acupuncture service!”
And those activities are to occupy the venue.
It’s impossible to let the diners eat.
Xiao Zhang understood what the little girl meant but he was not upset and he smiled and handed her the money, “Okay, I see, I will eat as soon as possible!”
He paid the money and went to the disinfection cabinet to take the dinner plate. There was not much food left in the lunch box.
Xiao Zhang filled some of everything and then found a seat to sit down and eat.
The taste of the food is okay, very light, and suitable for the elderly.
And if you taste it carefully, there is a hint of Chinese medicine.
It seems that the little girl did not lie and Chinese herbal medicines were indeed put in these meals.
I just don’t know whether these traditional Chinese medicines are a stunt or really curative.
When eating, Xiao Zhang didn’t forget to look around.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped because he saw another acquaintance.
“Mrs. Qi? She has esophageal cancer, wasn’t she going to the provincial capital for surgery?”
Xiao Zhang couldn’t believe his eyes. She was obviously terminally ill and couldn’t eat. But the old lady was still guarding a lunch box and eating with small mouthfuls!
