Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 782 - 412: Going to Inquire News_1

When Yan Fei mentioned going out to eat, the girl suddenly felt superior and said with a smile, "Of course I need to work out, I cannot skip a day. Yan Xiaofei, you are really uninformed! No need to go out for breakfast when you’re staying here; there’s a place to eat on the lower floor, and it’s free. If you don’t want to go to the dining hall, you can even order a meal to be delivered to your room by the waitstaff."

Alright! Yan Fei was speechless. Well-off people really knew how to enjoy. Even when living in a hotel, they still got to eat meals delivered to the door.

While the girl was doing yoga, Yan Fei also found something to do.

There was a television set here, and after studying the remote control for a bit, he finally managed to turn it on. He then proceeded to flip through the channels. Normally, he wasn’t interested in watching TV. Many of the channels here weren’t in Mandarin, which he didn’t understand. All he could do was flip around until he found something he could understand.

Both of them were not used to being served. Especially Miss Xu Xiaoyan - she didn’t have the nerve to call and request breakfast be brought up to the guest room. The two of them went out to find the restaurant, only realizing then that it was still too early and no one was eating breakfast yet!

It was their first time having a buffet. Xu Xiaoyan already had a heads up. The nearby waitstaff were also very nice, not showing any negative reactions to the two of them not knowing anything. But when Yan Fei heard that you could eat whatever you wanted here, his eyes lit up for a moment -- thankfully considering that they are guests, he didn’t let himself eat freely.

Seeing his eyes darting around while eating, Miss Xu Xiaoyan knew he was up to no good: "What are you thinking about? Are you up to no good again?"

Yan Fei let out a snicker: "I’m not thinking about anything. Eat up! If it’s not enough, go get more. It’s so abundant here, we’d be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t eat more."

He was thinking, if someone offended him in the future and had a buffet-like restaurant that let you eat as much as you could, he would disguise himself, then go for a big meal, eating enough to make them lose money...

Miss Xu Xiaoyan knew him well so she didn’t believe a word he said. But she didn’t ask any further questions either, she only shot him a glance and snorted, "No need, I’ve got enough food here. You can get more if you want, just don’t drag me with you."

Actually, it was still quite early, the breakfast hadn’t been fully served yet! But even so, the two of them were certainly enlightened; they didn’t even know what a lot of the food was. Thankfully, there wasn’t anyone else around; Yan Fei always asked when he didn’t know something. Earlier, a waiter was practically following him around everywhere, answering his questions.

Even after they finished breakfast, they still had some time before they decided to go out and have a look around for themselves.

When they asked a waiter where would be the most bustling place right now, the waiter was a bit embarrassed.

So the two country bumpkins gained some more knowledge: around here, stores opened rather late and there were hardly any shops open at this hour aside from 24-hour convenience stores.

There’s a phrase here "nine-to-five"; normal work begins at nine. After work is when night life begins; many night markets don’t close until the wee hours of the morning. This is completely different from their life back home where, after it gets dark, most people don’t have much to do; they usually watch TV for a bit and then go to sleep, getting up the next morning to start working again.

Since they couldn’t go shopping, they simply went back to their room to lay on the couch and wait for the sun to rise.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the cattle ranch was bustling.

Everyone would feed the cows once before breakfast, and then they could rest for a while after eating. But today after breakfast, everyone was heading out to the street, wandering around to gather information.

The two people who came to inquire about the cattle ranch were definitely not from Sancha River town. So, Heizi and the others left without any worries and they directly started asking their acquaintances at various store fronts.

Information was efficiently gathered. It wasn’t market day yesterday, so there weren’t many people on the streets. By asking around in a few shops and restaurants about whether they had seen the two men, one of whom was a speech-impaired beggar, and the other a foreigner dressed in a blue Zhongshan suit—as the person who had come asking for information—the details came spilling out. Indeed, it was very easy. When folks from the cattle ranch asked around, who could refuse? Everyone racked their brains, trying to recall if they had seen the two men.

A restaurant owner provided them with information, saying that the man in the Zhongshan suit had come around noon. He had some food in the restaurant, rested for a while, and then left towards the outskirts of town. No one had noticed if he had returned.

Who says lagging behind is a bad thing? There are merits to it as well. In small towns like Sancha River, there are rarely outsiders, so the occasional unfamiliar face stands out like a louse on a bald head—a secret is impossible.

As for the mute beggar, that was easy to inquire about, as he had only been wandering around town. With such distinctive features, time was all it took to find him out. Asking around from one side of the street to the other, they even found out where the beggar was staying.

When everyone gathered together to discuss, Old Ou volunteered to probe the mute beggar. He said he would handle this task comfortably.

Heizi and Pang Fa trusted Old Ou and saw that he seemed rather confident, so he left with the rest of the group.

When they came back to the entrance of the railway station, a thought crossed Heizi’s mind and he stopped.

As soon as he stopped, the three or four tricycle-drivers were excited, shouting out to their "big brother," their "brother Heizi," and their "Big Bro Heizi," all asking the same question: "Are there any jobs today?"

Heizi studied them for a moment and signaled to the one who had called him "Big bro Heizi" just then: "No job today, but a small favor to ask."

The man immediately got off the tricycle and came over at a trot. With a somewhat submissive smile on his face, he said, "Big Bro Heizi, command me however you wish. You speak so formally of doing favors and such. You’re way too polite!"

Even though this guy looked like he was in his thirties, he still shamelessly addressed Heizi, a younger man, as ’big brother.’ If it was anyone else, Heizi would have found it awkward. But in this case—this guy was a former slacker and now, at his age, he was starting to consider making a living seriously as he already had a wife and kid. Being poor and lacking the strength for heavy labor, what good opportunity could there be for him in Sancha River? All he could do was drive a tricycle around to make some money for daily necessities.

Usually, when Heizi needed someone for a job, he wouldn’t bother with the likes of him. But the task today was particularly suited for him because, being a former loafer who loafed around all day, he knew a lot of people in town—a reason why everyone has a place and comes in handy at some point. Today, he was of use.

Heizi took out ten yuan intending to hand it over, but after thinking for a moment, he ended up adding five more and handed fifteen yuan to the man: "Today’s job is really simple. Just park your tricycle in a shady place and keep an eye out for people getting out of the cars. If you see a foreigner in a Zhongshan suit, go report it at the place near the gate. Don’t tell anyone, you just need to know."
