Chapter 111: Thanksgiving Star (1st Update)
(Tony branch line in this chapter, don't order if you don't like it)
"Hey, Tony, wait for me!"
Peter strode forward, keeping up with Tony, and shouted urgently, "Uncle Pomma's restaurant doesn't open until seven......!
"Peter, shut up!"
Tony stopped, turned to Peter behind him, and said, "I'm not going to wash the dishes for Pomma anymore!"
Peter touched his head: "Oh my God, didn't you wake up? Where do we get our pocket money if we don't wash the dishes?"
Although Poma did pick the door, he would have offered them $5 an hour.
That's $5!
You can earn $10 for two hours, and you can earn $50 if you work more than 10 hours a week!
"Of course I have money!"
Tony pulled out a glittering silver card from his jeans pocket, and although the sunlight was a bit dazzling today, Peter recognized it at a glance, it was the legendary PD platinum membership card!
That's a status symbol!
In the whole town, I'm afraid only Tony, a madman, has a platinum card. After all, spending $10,000 a year is unthinkable for many people.
"Didn't your card have been thrown into the fireplace by Uncle Howard?" asked Peter, surprised.
Tony's promotion to PD Platinum last year caused a big stir at school, and he showed it off for a long time.
But not long ago, Tony was restricted from pocket money for stealing Uncle Howard's credit card, and the card was burned......
Where did the platinum card come from?
Looking at this dazzling appearance, it doesn't look like a fake card.
Tony raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you thinking? I've already registered my PD membership file, isn't it normal for them to give me a replacement card?"
"I see!"
Peter blinked, it turns out that there is a reissuance mechanism for PD membership cards, which is really a long insight.
Looking at Peter's adoring little eyes, Tony was in a good mood, and he didn't feel how expensive the $50 cost paid by the "replacement card" was.
It's really worth the money!
Tony threw up the membership card, then grabbed it, and pretended to be light-hearted and said: "This is also a kind of membership benefit, Peter, do you know, platinum members can buy a lot of limited toys in the official store." ”
"PD limited? Is it YOYO?"
Tony laughed, "It's not just YOYO!, but bakugan and spinning top!"
"Spinning top?
"You'll find out right away!"
The two walked and chatted, and soon walked into the largest toy stationery store in town.
The black aunt tugged at a rag and sang a song they didn't understand, wiping the stainless steel corners of the counter.
"Oh, who's here?"
The black aunt was as surprised when she saw Tony as she was when she saw the God of Wealth, and she hugged him and said, "My dear Tony, long time no see!"
Tony pushed away his aunt in disgust, took out his membership card and asked, "I ordered a thanksgiving star, I heard that it has been delivered?"
"You ordered it, so I said how could anyone in the town be willing to buy this ......?"
The aunt bent down and found a box of beautifully packaged spinning tops from behind the counter, turned around and put it on the counter.
Incidentally, I took out a registration form.
"Tony, please write your membership number and autograph on it. ”
"No problem!"
Tony memorized his membership code and took the pen and scribbled it down on the registration form with great difficulty.
Then there is the autograph.
After signing, Tony just wanted to take the "Thanksgiving Star" on the counter, but was stopped by the black aunt who had put away the registration form.
"Wait! you can't take it yet!"
Tony's face darkened: "I've already paid on the official website!"
"I know!"
The black aunt smiled: "But you haven't paid the transportation fee yet!"
"How much?" asked Tony, wary.
Auntie raised two fingers: "20$!"
"Fake!
Peter walked over, slapped the table and shouted to the aunt: "Do you think we are fools?
"PD can't manage Texas!"
The aunt said fearlessly: "According to the rules of Texas, I deserve the hard money!"
Hard work NM too!
Tony and Peter kept looking at each other, and both felt a little tricky.
Tony reached for the two coins he had left in his trouser pocket and turned to look at Peter.
Peter shook his head and pulled out all his belongings, which were $10!
But that's not enough!
$12 didn't satisfy the greedy aunt.
The aunt raised her eyebrows and said, "It's still $8 short!"
"Or I'll ...... next time"
"Small business, no credit!"
Tony was speechless, so he had to put away the change that the two had put together, and glanced at the Thanksgiving Star on the counter reluctantly.
"I'll pick it up in the afternoon!"
Auntie put away the box of the Thanksgiving Star and said disdainfully, "It's better to be like this! If this thing is still in my warehouse tomorrow morning, I will have to charge another storage fee." ”
Tony: "......"
Curse you to hell, greedy fat woman!
Angrily leaving the toy store and standing on the busiest street in town, Peter couldn't help but ask, "What about Tony?"
The gap is still $8 short!
If you don't get it back today, you will definitely add an additional storage fee tomorrow. Aunt is not a good person, she dared to fight and kill when she was young, although she sold toys when she was old, but she was not a good stubble.
Tony already had an idea.
"Let's go, let's go to Palma's restaurant!"
"Wash the dishes? You don't mean ......?"
"I've changed my mind!
Peter raised his hands: "OKOK!
Washing dishes is just a synonym!
In fact, Poma is an old acquaintance with their parents, and asking them to help out in the restaurant is just an excuse to give pocket money to the two of them.
What they have to do is simple!
Pour water for guests, wipe wine glasses, and do chores for the chubby chef......
From seven to nine a.m., it took two hours of busy work for the two to receive $10 from Poma, who was slamming the door.
Tony returned to the toy store, took a picture of $20 in a bold manner, and in the envious eyes of the black aunt, he took away his exclusive "PD Remembrance - Grateful Star" Angry shark spinning top.
"Why is it called the Thanksgiving Star? What a strange name!" complained Peter.
Who knows!
Tony shrugged: "Probably literally...... A commemorative edition from PD to thank someone?"
I don't know what it means to buy it......
Peter couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this cheap? Where did you get the money?"
The price of PD has always been touching, and Tony was cut off from his source of pocket money by Uncle Howard, so it stands to reason that even if he washes dishes for a month, he can't afford it......
"I sold my foal!"
The foal is good, but Tony doesn't ride a horse and has to brush and bathe it every day...... It's better to sell it and change it to a spinning top!
Peter had nothing to say.
