Chapter 108: Pancake Fruit
Chapter 108 Pancake Fruit
……
After thinking for a moment with his phone, "Wendy, what time is it today?"
"Seven!"
"November 7th, if I'm not mistaken, today is the day to decide the national vote for the 53rd President and Vice President of the United States?"
Wendy Solo nodded and smiled, "Congratulations, boss, you have won the bet." Republican Mr. Bush elected as the new President of the United States!"
Xiao Bu ~ Shi was elected Guo Shouyun had long expected it.
"I just don't know how much of a role the incense that spent $2 million in political cash can play!"
In fact, Guo Shouyun knew in his heart that no matter how much external help he was looking for, if he wanted to withstand the pressure of Enron, the most important thing was himself. If he himself has little confidence in this, then even with the help provided by Goldman Sachs outside, he will still not be able to hold on to the final victory.
"Anything else?"
Wendy Solo shook her head.
"Go back and rest!" Guo Shouyun waved his hand.
"Boss, that's the Enron side...!"
Looking at the delicate and beautiful beautiful woman with a worried look on her face, Guo Shouyun smiled and shook her head before comforting: "Don't worry, Enron is difficult to protect itself now, and it is doubtful how much of an effect its threat can have! Besides, I'm not completely unprepared for this!"
Infected by the confidence in Guo Shouyun's words, Wendy Solo nodded, turned around and walked out. And after he left, the confident look on Guo Shouyun's face quickly disappeared. It was the first time he faced an enemy with such a deep foundation as Enron, and he was inexperienced, and he didn't want to be as relaxed as he had just shown.
Glancing at the computer, Guo Shouyun, who was in an irritable mood, completely lost the slightest passion to continue writing. After walking around the room a few times, he felt a little depressed in his distraught thoughts.
"Matthew, let's go, let's go out for a walk!"
Seeing that the time was not too late, Guo Shouyun beckoned his personal bodyguard out of the hotel.
When he came outside and was blown by the cold wind of the Pacific Ocean, Guo Shouyun suddenly felt that his mind was much clearer. The mood gradually calmed down.
"Matthew, I remember that you served in the Delta Special Forces before, right?" Walking on the road, Guo Shouyun didn't feel a little more talking.
"Hmm!"
"How's life in the military?"
"It's very boring and often accompanied by blood and death!"
The solemn tone made Guo Shouyun turn his head and glance at the big man beside him who often had a serious expression and was loyal to his duties.
"I used to yearn for a military career, but now that you say this, I really don't have any passion at all!"
"Boss, I'm telling the truth!"
"Yes, yes. But it's a strange thing that a wood-like guy like you can find a wife!"
Matthew Bloom tugged at the corners of his mouth, and looked at the figure in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
"Hey, there's a night market ahead!"
Seeing the brightly lit streets in front of him, as well as the dense flow of people and vendors, Guo Shouyun's eyes instantly lit up.
"Let's go have some supper, I'm a little hungry too!"
"Boss!" hurriedly called out to Guo Shouyun, "A crowded place is not conducive to your safety." ”
"Besides, I'm not the president of the United States, and not many people want my life!
After the words fell, after pulling Matthew Bloom's arm, Guo Shouyun walked forward quickly. Seeing him like this, Matthew had no choice but to follow.
The night markets are the same all over the world, the difference is only the number of people. Because of the company's affairs, Guo Shouyun, who has not experienced this kind of excitement for a long time, shuttled through the flow of people, looked at the dazzling array of goods on different stalls, and looked left and right with great interest.
It didn't take long for the tip of his nose to suddenly smell an unusually familiar scent.
"Pancake fruit?"
After looking around, he soon found the familiar Chinese characters on the stall more than ten meters away from him. In his previous life, as an authentic mountain ~ easterner, he was too familiar with this classic snack. Especially when he was in high school, he would buy a copy at a small stall outside the school every weekend afternoon when he could go out of school in his free time. Even if I work later, I will never miss it as long as I encounter it, and now I think about it full of memories.
It is rare to see it in the night market in the United States, and Guo Shouyun, who is full of impulsiveness, strode over.
In a very ordinary stall, in the center of the table top of about one meter square meter is a stove with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, and in the basket in front of the stove are eggs, fried dough sticks, as well as noodle sauce and chopped green onions. Standing behind the stall was a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old middle-aged man with a dark complexion, with a heavy imprint of life left on the exposed skin of his palms and face, looking a little vicissitudes.
Glancing at the egg skins in the trash can next to him, the number has been stacked and half pulled, and it seems that business is good. After the other party handed the finished pancake fruit to the young white girl who was waiting, Guo Shouyun stepped forward, "Boss, how do you sell the pancake fruit?"
Guo Shouyun's pure Mandarin, as well as the typical Chinese appearance, made the middle-aged stall owner stunned for a moment, and looked at him back and forth a few times before saying with an authentic river ~ southern dialect: "Big brother is Chinese?"
"Hmm!Mountain~Dongdi!"
Guo Shouyun said with a smile in his fluent Jiaodong dialect.
"Oh, that's my own person. I don't want you to pay much, just $2 to make a cost!"
"No, it's not easy to draft anthracene and be greedy. $5 is fine. And I'm not alone, look at him, there are three or four pancakes and fruit in the wood, but it's not enough for him to eat!"
The middle-aged stall owner glanced at Matthew Bloom, who was standing behind Guo Shouyun, tall and strong, and his face also showed a trace of hesitation. It's not easy for him to make money, if six or seven fruits only make a cost, he will definitely be taught a lesson by his wife when he goes back.
Guo Shouyun, who saw his expression in his eyes, directly took out $30 and handed it over.
"Boss, come with six fruits! All the ingredients are needed, don't put too much bean paste!"
"Look, how embarrassing this is!"
Guo Shouyun waved his hand, turned his head and pointed to the small square table next to him, "This table is anthracene?"
"Hmm!"
"Then we'll eat here. Boss, get it ready for us!"
Looking at Guo Shouyun who was walking towards the small table, the middle-aged boss hesitated a little and then put away the money in his hand. However, in the process of making the fruit, he added an extra egg to each fruit.
"I've made two, you eat first. By the way, there is boiling water in the kettle next to it, and there is a bowl in the basket next to it, if you drink it, you can pour it yourself!"
After an explanation, the boss went to the stall to get busy.
"Come, one for each person, how does it taste often?"
Hearing this, Matthew Bloom, who was tempted by the smell of pancake fruit, did not refuse, and after watching Guo Shouyun take away a fruit, he took the rest into his own hands.
Because there is a bag on the outside, you are not afraid of getting dirty when you hold it by hand.
"Well, it's delicious!"
After taking a bite and savoring it, Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction. He hadn't tasted it in a long time.
"Boss, great workmanship!"
In the face of praise, the middle-aged boss showed a sincere smile on his face.
"Anthracene is delicious!"
"Boss, business is good, isn't it?"
"It's okay at night, but there are few people during the day, and you can't make much money!"
"Big brother, are you an international student?"
Seeing that there were no guests, and the middle-aged boss might not have met his hometown for a long time, he felt a particularly cordial relationship, so he sat on the high stool behind the stall and chatted with Guo Shouyun.
Smiled and nodded, "Boss, what about you?"
"I don't want anthracene to be so capable, I... I'm here with my family!" Looking at the embarrassment flashing on his face, Guo Shouyun could also guess that this middle-aged man who had been devastated by life was also a smuggled black household.
He didn't intend to break it, so he quickly changed the topic, "Boss, how many years has Anthracene been in the United States?"
"It's been three years!"
"Three years, that's not a short time!"
"Hmm. It's a pity that I have a stupid brain, and I haven't learned a few words of American in three years!"
"It would be nice if it was a long time!" ......
Maybe it's because of the fact that they are both strangers, but the two of them chatted very well, and Guo Shouyun quickly ate the two pancakes and fruits. Keeping in mind that he should not eat too many Chinese health secrets at night, he gave the remaining four to Matthew Bloom, and this pot-bellied man did not refuse.
