Chapter 225: Lunch
Approaching noon, when she was about to get off work, Mirei Sakai hurriedly ran to the president's office alone. She saw that Kishimoto had not left yet, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I finally caught up." β
Masayoshi Kishimoto sat on the chair, looked at her without knowing what he wanted, and blurted out, "What did you catch up?"
"At noon, I want you to take me to dinner. I'm going to have a good, French dinner. Mirei Sakai said bluntly.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understands that she is running so actively, all for food. Eat it, her mouth is not only greedy, but also specializes in eating good things.
"Lunch time is only an hour, what kind of French food? Kishimoto couldn't help but think of the current Chinese mainland in 1999, and if a high school student like Mirei Sakai could eat a KFC, it would be a big meal.
Not only that, KFC also represents a fashion and middle-class symbol in Chinese mainland. Just like a dozen years later, it was widely accepted that drinking Starbucks coffee represented a petty bourgeois lifestyle.
The children in the student party who can eat a KFC meal can also blow it for days when they see their friends and classmates in the future. Not only high school students, but also college students, it is a luxurious meal.
The girl asked the boy, do you love me? The boy replied, "Why don't I love you?" I invited you to eat KFC. As a result, there is a popular saying among couples who are in love, if you love her, you will invite her to eat KFC.
Sakai Meiling shook her head and stomped her feet, and her small mouth was pursed high: "Don't, I don't want to eat KFC." I'm just going to eat a French meal. β
Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn't cry or laugh when he saw her showing an immature little girl's temperament. For this reason, he couldn't help but recall that when he was still in the lower grades of primary school in his previous life, he ate a bag of Master Kong's braised beef noodles for 1.5 yuan for the first time, not only smelling the aroma, but also feeling that he had eaten the delicacy of the world.
Later, when I studied business administration in college, I found out from the case study that Dingxin Group was a company in Taiwan that was about to collapse and go bankrupt when it did not enter the Chinese mainland market to make Master Kong instant noodles.
Because of the popularity of Master Kong's instant noodles in the Chinese mainland market, Tingxin Group not only came back to life, but also used the money earned from the Chinese mainland market to acquire the 101 building, a landmark building in Taipei.
And then there is that when I was a child, White Rabbit Milk Candy was synonymous with high-grade sugar. And then there's the Alps. Actually, it's not very good.
There is an original fruit candy imported from Japan, which is really delicious. HΓ€agen-Dazs, a mass commodity in the United States, has become the Rolls-Royce of ice cream in China, a luxury product. One of its balls will be sold for 25 yuan soft girl coins, and the two of them will be gone.
Shoes, Dengyun is synonymous with high-end leather shoes. Before Nike and Adidas were regarded as high-end sports products by later generations of students, Li Ning sneakers were synonymous with high-end sneakers.
Many fakes imitating the first-generation style of Li-Ning sneakers can be seen everywhere on many people's feet. Whether it is a pair of Dengyun leather shoes or a pair of Li Ning sneakers, it will cost more than 100 yuan a pair.
At that time, the average wage of ordinary workers in small cities was only 2 or 300 yuan or 3 or 400 yuan. If the efficiency is not good, one or two hundred yuan, or even no wages can be paid.
Once, when I was in elementary school, because I bought school uniforms, a female classmate in my class didn't buy them, just because her mother's factory hadn't paid her salary for several months. In front of so many classmates and the head teacher, he cried while talking.
The post-80s urban children in Chinese mainland have experienced this all the way. When I entered college, it was at the beginning of the year 2000.
I remember very well that when I was a sophomore, a roommate from the countryside in the same dormitory finally entertained him generously, and that was their custom, sprinkling sugar.
I ate a candy that I don't know what brand it is, but I feel that it is all saccharin. Out of politeness, I was embarrassed to spit it out, so I had to chew it up and swallow it.
Even so, what you think is bad is good to others. As a result, I really know what is called uneven development of the overall economy of Chinese mainland, and there are many people who are not rich.
The taste of saccharin made me eat it again, and that was when I bought a bag of Bangkok's high-grade fruit sugar on a trip to Thailand.
"Brother Justice, why don't you speak?" said Sakai Meiling as she sat down on the desk in front of him.
Masayoshi Kishimoto tapped the office desktop twice with his right palm, and said sternly: "Give it to me." Let others see what kind of system it has become. β
Mirei Sakai had no choice but to comply. She landed on her feet and said with a very aggrieved face: "I haven't eaten high-end French cuisine yet!"
"You haven't eaten much. Kishimoto said calmly.
"It's because I haven't eaten it that I want to eat it. In the past, I didn't have a chance to eat. Now that I have the opportunity, why don't I eat it?" said Mirei Sakai.
"You have a good point, it makes me speechless. Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a wry smile.
"Then you've agreed to take me to a French dinner. Sakai Meiling slapped her palms with both hands, and her face changed as fast as turning the pages of a book. A smile spread across her face.
"Definitely not at noon today, let's do it another day! You and your sister will discuss and find a French fine dining restaurant of your choice."
On weekend nights, we go for the kind of haute French cuisine that lasts for hours a night and has more than a dozen dishes. Kishimoto decided.
"Can you not call my sister? she's my competitor. I just wanted to have a romantic candlelit dinner with you alone. Mirei Sakai said straight.
"What's going on in your little head? Wait until you're over your twenty-year-old coming-of-age ceremony and then talk to me about that. "Kishimoto said that she was just a little brat.
"What are we going to eat at noon?" Sakai Mirei suddenly remembered that today's lunch had not yet ended.
"Didn't I already say that? Kishimoto said with a smile.
Sakai Meiling's facial expression suddenly became very unhappy and said, "Don't." I don't want to eat KFC, I'm going to eat something else. β
"Okay! I'll get you another one. That's McDonald's!" Kishimoto smiled and did not change course.
Sakai Meiling began to shake her head again and stomped her feet, "Isn't it the same thing?"
"It's not the same. McDonald's focuses on hamburgers. Its hamburger can be filled with not only chicken, but also beef, and even double-layered.
KFC focuses on the many ways to eat fried chicken. In fact, the taste is almost the same. Masayoshi Kishimoto explained.
