Chapter 392: 146, you are Chen Shanhe, I am Lin Mo!!_5

“It might work to deceive tourists, but anyone with a little knowledge wouldn’t buy from them.”

After browsing for a while, Lin Mo found a stall selling sea duck eggs that seemed quite good, squatted down, picked one up to look at it, and asked, “Boss, what’s the price?”

The vendor was a middle-aged woman around 50, sitting on a chair cracking sunflower seeds, casually replied, “35 per pound.”

An old man nearby called out, “Young man, buy from me. I sell for 25 per pound, and I’ll throw in two extra if you buy a lot.”

Lin Mo glanced at the sea duck eggs on his stall and shook his head with resignation, “Old man, better keep your eggs to sell to tourists. I prefer not to buy them, they give me a headache.”

The old man chuckled twice and said no more.

Lin Mo turned to the stall owner and said, “I want five boxes, all of the best quality. How much?”

Five boxes?

Hearing that a big sale was on the cards, the woman perked up and promptly said with courtesy, “It’s rare to see a connoisseur like you these days, sir. How about this, each box is 12 pounds. I’ll give you a discount, how does 400 per box sound?”

400 per box wasn’t expensive, and the eggs could keep for a while.

Lin Mo nodded and didn’t feel like haggling any further, as long as the product was good. He paid 2070 yuan through a mobile payment for the five big boxes of sea duck eggs, which would be enough to last a while even abroad.

“I overpaid by 70, give me another two pounds of loose ones.”

The vendor nodded repeatedly: “Rest assured, I’ll pick the best for you.”

While the vendor was picking out the eggs, Lin Mo casually flagged down a taxi and told the driver to deliver the five boxes of sea duck eggs to Wuxu International Airport for check-in, and to wait there for him.

You have to say, it’s truly good to have money.

As long as you have money, everyone on the street is your employee. You just have to hand them a few notes, and they’ll do as you ask.

The taxi driver was initially reluctant, but when he heard Lin Mo was willing to pay 800 yuan, his reluctance instantly turned into a face full of surprise.

Lin Mo didn’t have to lift a finger himself; the driver eagerly got out of the car and loaded the sea duck eggs into the trunk.

All the while he kept praising the boss for being generous.

Lin Mo took one of the driver’s business cards, noted down his license plate number, prepaid 300 yuan, made a video of the eggs being loaded into the trunk, and then let the driver leave first.

In today’s society, the level of civility is high, so there was no need to worry about the driver absconding.

After all, it was a regular taxi service, and tracking him down would be easy.

After taking care of this, Lin Mo, carrying the loose-packed sea duck eggs, decided to buy some breakfast before heading home.

This area was full of street vendors, and he would have to pass this street to get to the various breakfast sellers ahead.

Lin Mo strolled leisurely forward, casually checking out the stalls on both sides to see if there was anything else he or his family would like to eat.

Nowadays, logistics are very convenient. Even overseas, you can buy all sorts of things, but getting some local specialties is more of a hassle, and the quality is often hit or miss.

This time going abroad, Lin Mo wasn’t sure how long he’d be gone, so he had to make preparations accordingly.

As he wandered, he noticed a little girl, about three to four years old, wandering alone on the street, seemingly looking for something, without any adult accompanying her.

The small figure contrasted starkly with the adults and buildings around her.

As a father, Lin Mo frowned and silently cursed the child’s parents for being irresponsible.

How could you let a child of this age out on her own?

Lin Mo shook his head, initially not wanting to get involved, but thinking of his own daughter, he couldn’t bear it.

What if she were to get lost? How heartbroken the parents would be?

Besides, it wouldn’t hurt just to go up and ask.

With that thought, Lin Mo quickened his pace, intending to ask the little girl where her parents were and why she was wandering around alone.

However, just then, the toy ball in the girl’s hand accidentally fell and rolled onto the road. She hurriedly stepped off the sidewalk to chase after her toy, and just at that moment, a pickup truck carrying goods happened to be driving by. Although the truck was not moving fast, it was still dangerous.

Because she was in the blind spot, the driver saw nothing at all.

“Be careful!”

Lin Mo was taken aback, but without thinking twice, he dashed forward, grabbed the little girl, and, using his momentum, fell to the side.

Bang…

Lin Mo’s back was grazed by the truck, and the sea duck eggs in his hand scattered on the ground.

The truck driver also braked sharply, startled.

A crowd gathered, voices of discussion arose, and many were shooting videos.

“What happened?”

“Can’t you drive?”

“Is anyone hurt?”

“What just happened?”

The truck driver also hurried out of the vehicle, terrified, and asked with a face full of nervousness, “Buddy, are you okay? I was driving slowly… I didn’t see…”

Lin Mo was now on the ground, holding the little girl tightly in his arms.

He wasn’t hurt badly himself. He let the girl stand up and asked with concern, “Little sister, are you okay? Are you hurt? Does it hurt?”

The little girl, still in shock, shook her head blankly.

Seeing that the little girl was all right, Lin Mo turned to the driver and said, “It’s fine, it’s not your fault. I just got a scratch. You go ahead with your business, just be more careful driving in busy areas in the future.”

What?

The driver had not expected to encounter someone so easy to talk to.

He quickly took out a few hundred yuan and a bunch of change, saying, “Brother, this is all the cash I have on me. Take it. If it weren’t for you today, I’d be in big trouble if I had hit this little girl!”
