Fortunately, the Bukou Vegetable Market was not far away, and the four of us took two buses to get there.

The four people finally found their way to the Bukou Vegetable Market and stood at the entrance of the market in a daze.

This place is bigger than they thought, with people coming and going. Where can they find the tall Xiao Yin'e?

Li Guifang stopped a woman selling vegetables and asked, "Sister, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Xiao Yin'e?"

The eldest sister waved her hand: "What Yin'e? We only have big white geese here!" Then she pointed to the side, and sure enough, there were a few fat geese in the cage quacking.

The eldest sister waved her hand: "What silver geese? We only have big white geese here!"

Then he pointed to the side and looked in the direction the elder sister pointed. OK!

Not only geese, but also a large flock of chickens and ducks!

After asking several stall owners, they all said they had never heard of this person. The four of them squatted at the market entrance, feeling worried.

Ahead lay a dense mass of houses, at least a hundred or so households. Wang Qinglai scratched his head and muttered, "This is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."

"Even the needle must be fished out!"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Li Jianghai suddenly slapped his thigh. "Could this name be a pseudonym?"

Wang Qinglai also responded: "Yes! Yin'e, Yin'e, and Tremella fuciformis!"

"No matter whether it's real or not, let's find it based on appearance first!" Li Guifang made a prompt decision and pulled Huang Xiuying towards the fish stall.

The old fishmonger's eyes lit up when he heard the description: "Are you talking about the old lady who likes to wear a blue shirt and tie her hair in a bun? She always comes to me to buy hairtail!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the four people said in unison.

"She lives in that row of red brick houses up front," the old man pointed westward. "I don't know which one exactly, but she always said her window faces the pork stall in the market."

Now I finally have a clue.

The four of them walked excitedly westward, counting the windows as they walked.

Suddenly, Wang Qinglai pointed to a window on the third floor and said, "Look! Isn't that a cactus on that windowsill? The other day, that old lady said she liked cacti but couldn't keep them alive!"

Li Guifang took a closer look and saw the drooping cactus!

"Let's go up and ask every household!"

As the four of them reached the stairs, they happened to see an old man carrying a chamber pot coming down the stairs. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at them: "Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, I want to ask you about someone," Li Guifang stepped forward.

"Is there an old lady named Xiao Yin'e living in this building? She's tall and thin."

The old man put the chamber pot against the wall and scratched his ears. "Xiao Yin'e? There's no such person. But there is a woman named Xiao in the house on the left on the third floor. Everyone calls her Aunt Xiao."

After saying that, he glanced at them suspiciously and asked, "Who are you to her?"

"We are... her distant relatives!" Wang Qinglai thought quickly. "There's something wrong with the elderly family member, so I came to let them know!"

Ah, I’m here for that!

The old man curled his lips and didn't ask any more questions. He staggered downstairs carrying the chamber pot.

Several people suddenly became excited and rushed upstairs in two steps.

When they reached the third floor, Li Jianghai volunteered to take the lead and knocked on the door gently a few times.

The door creaked open a crack, revealing half of a familiar face.

When the old lady saw them, her eyes widened: "You...you are from the company?"

"Sister Xiao," Li Jianghai said as he squeezed in with a smile, "We are here..."

"Ouch! Do you want your eggs back?"

Aunt Xiao's face suddenly fell, and her voice suddenly rose eight octaves, like an old hen guarding her food. "I tell you, those eggs have already gone into my stomach!"

As she spoke, she pushed the door hard. Half of Li Jianghai's body was stuck in the crack of the door, and he screamed in pain.

"Oh my old waist! Sister Xiao, please be gentle!"

Seeing that she was really about to crush someone, Aunt Xiao reluctantly let go and turned to walk into the house.

He cursed, "In my entire life, I've never seen a company as stingy as yours! You let me put on a show, and now you want those 30 eggs back?"

This company is quite generous. In the past, when other companies held activities, they could attract a whole car of people with just two eggs to make up the numbers.

But I can't regret it now that the work is done! That's too unfair!

She plopped down on the sofa and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table. "Your company is so dishonest, it won't last long!"

Even though she was cracking melon seeds in her mouth, it didn't stop Aunt Xiao from cursing in all sorts of ways!

However, Li Guifang still heard some important information from just a few words.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward: "Thirty eggs? Sister Xiao, can you tell me more about it?"

"Manager Liu gave us 30 eggs each to fill the room. You don't want to take them back, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly became alert, narrowed her eyes, and looked back and forth at the few people. "That's not right... What on earth do you do?"

Li Jianghai quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister, we have met at the company. We came here just to ask if you received the eggs?

If we didn't get it, let's go to the company and complain! We didn't get it!" He pushed Wang Qinglai forward.

Wang Qinglai was completely confused and could only nod his head: "Yes, yes, that's right."

Aunt Xiao looked at Li Guifang and Huang Xiuying doubtfully again.

Li Jianghai quickly explained, "They were part of the last batch of extras, and they haven't even gotten the eggs yet."

Hearing this, Auntie Xiao completely let down her guard and immediately perked up: "If you ask me, you must not be acting hard enough! Manager Liu praised me and said that I acted the most realistically!"
