"Eh——your trick is actually quite feasible. Indeed, under such a pretext, many might be willing to volunteer to tell us what they know. Otherwise, why don't we directly ask the Cultural Bureau of Liangshan City to organize a promotion?" Hu Yaomei said.
Tangyu replied, "You're thinking too far. If we really did that, we'd be followed everywhere. I was just joking, let's take our time and investigate quietly; it wouldn't be good to go public with this."
Soon the restaurant owner brought the dishes. Tangyu ordered a bit of wine and then called the owner over, "Boss, would you like to sit down and have a drink with us?"
The owner was a bit flattered but quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I couldn't possibly. That's too kind, but I appreciate the gesture. I'm still busy here."
Tangyu laughed, "Boss, the thing is, we just arrived in your Liangshan County today and aren't very familiar with the place. We're here on a mission and hope you could enlighten us a bit."
