Guangzhou, China.
In the end, Li Jie agreed to the mission to capture the alien in China. After all, the previous mission was completed by Tony Stark, Captain Rogers, and Thor. He had to do something.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be the only one in the Illuminati who did nothing?
But then again, in this world, one had to know how to balance work and play. Only by combining work and entertainment could one maintain a strong passion for work.
So what did this mean? In fact, it was very simple. Li Jie planned to take advantage of the work of capturing the alien in the Guangdong area to take a few days trip to Guangdong with Lan.
Anyway, the Guangdong alien had been here for so long and hadn't caused any particularly big trouble, so there was no need to rush. He and Lan could play here, eat some delicious food, drink some Guangdong morning tea, and then capture the alien. Wouldn't that be great? Work and life wouldn't be neglected.
Since he was in Guangdong, how could he not come to Guangzhou for morning tea? Wouldn't it be a waste to come to Guangdong if he didn't drink morning tea?
Apart from the small shops at the entrance of the alleys that only the residents of the community knew about, the larger shops, Tao Tao House, were very suitable places to eat Cantonese tea and pastries. Unlike the famous Guangzhou restaurants, Taotao House was more targeted at local diners.
Of course, it wasn't that Guangzhou restaurants were bad, but there were too many chain stores, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions in the operation. Perhaps the main store and one or two branches would do well, but some of the branches would do poorly.
However, Guangzhou restaurants were ahead in the industrial food processing. The frozen snacks launched by Guangzhou restaurants were considered good in the frozen products industry.
Of course, whether it was Tao Tao House or Guangzhou restaurants, it was best to avoid Shangshu Jiu.
This was the same principle as Beijing people would never go to Qianmen Street to find delicious food, and Shanghai people would not go to Nanjing East Road to find restaurants.
For Li Jie, this was a mission, but at the same time, it was also a journey. With the mentality of a tourist, Li Jie even brought a DSLR. He and Lan were dressed lightly, like tourists from other places.
Both of them were fluent in Mandarin, but there were a lot of people in Guangzhou who spoke Cantonese. Moreover, Li Jie often couldn't understand the Mandarin that the Cantonese people spoke.
But fortunately, the food was common. Radish beef and beef offal, milk yellow bun, quicksand bun, walnut bun, shrimp dumpling emperor, crispy barbecued pork, black bean pork ribs, chicken feet, mara cake, and radish cake. I'll also have a bowl of boat porridge and a bowl of rush grass porridge. Of course, there was no lack of tea for breakfast. A pot of Shoumei was served, and the fragrance of tea permeated the air.
Li Jie and Lan's breakfast was exceptionally sumptuous. However, this was the diversity of morning tea, and also the charm of morning tea.
"Did we order too much?" Lan looked worriedly at the various desserts in front of her. The desserts were placed all over the table.
"Not too much, not too much. These things are just looking at a lot, but they don't take up much space. As you eat, you'll find that these things might not be enough." Li Jie patted his belly.
"Don't worry, I'll get rid of them."
Lan patted Li Jie's belly with some disgust. "If you really want to develop like Thor, I advise you not to. Haven't you noticed that your six-pack is starting to get out of shape? Recently, I can pinch the fat out of it. "
"I'm not Christine, and I'm not Jane Foster, and I'm not Sif and Stormy Woman. I don't have any affection for a chubby ball. Unless that chubby ball is a big orange cat. "
"If you grow up to be like Thor, we're destined to break up." Lan was very honest.
Li Jie smiled helplessly. "Please, I exercise so much every day. How can I be like Thor? You know, this is Guangzhou morning tea, not New York's fried chicken, chips, and ice cream. There's no comparison in terms of heat. "
In addition to eating breakfast, the morning tea shop was also a place for people to communicate. In the early years, many old people would come to the morning tea shop with bird cages. They would eat breakfast, walk their birds, and make friends with the birds. Of course, most morning tea shops now didn't allow customers to hang bird cages from the ceiling. They didn't even allow them to bring birds in. This was because it was unhygienic and could spread bird flu.
However, another tradition remained. Many people were still used to talking about all kinds of gossip, political news, or listening to the radio while drinking tea.
Just as Li Jie and Lan were discussing how to maintain their figure and not get fat without eating, Lan asked Li Jie to consider whether or not to take Shuguang Technology's Eat Less Fat Potion, the two of them heard some sensitive topics being discussed at the next table.
"Did you hear? Recently, there have been a few cases of night running robberies in the city. "A middle-aged man told his companion, a middle-aged woman, about the city news.
"Those night running robberies, isn't that in Shenzhen? I saw the news before. There are often night runners getting robbed in Xiashuo Lake. "The middle-aged woman was also very gossipy.
"You don't know, right? The guy who robbed night running robbers is actually a mobile habitual criminal. In Shenzhen, the people who ran at night were probably scared of him. Maybe he couldn't rob much money, so he fled to Guangzhou to commit crimes. Guangzhou had not been tortured by him yet. Guangzhou hasn't been harmed by him yet, so it's easier for him to commit crimes. "The middle-aged man's analysis was reasonable.
"I heard that the police have already given him a nickname, the Night Running Killer."
The middle-aged woman was shocked. "He also kills people?"
"It's just a nickname, he doesn't really kill people. It means that his targets are always night runners. I think it won't be long before the police send out a warning. Don't suggest that people don't go night running. Doesn't your son like it? Don't remind him not to go night running. Otherwise, if he goes out one day and gets robbed, it won't be worth it. I heard that this night running robber will rob anything. In addition to money, he will rob headphones, mobile phones, smart watches. Anyway, as long as you have money, he will rob you. If there is really nothing valuable, he will even rob you of your coat. "
Li Jie and Lan heard the conversation between a middle-aged man and a woman sitting at the next table. They looked at each other.
Lan asked in a low voice, "Do robbers nowadays have no moral bottom line? They even robbed him of his coat. "
"It's probably because he feels cold." Li Jie thought for a long time and could only come up with such a reason. "After all, the weather will be cold at night."
Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Then she said to Li Jie, "Our Street Superhero, do you want to spread his fame in China?"
Li Jie raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
