Chapter Ninety-Eight: Well Done
Jessica followed behind Lee, watching him run around like a child, helping the little girl to pick up the kitten that couldn't climb down the tree, and helping the uncle on the side of the road to paint the fence, without stopping for a moment.
Suddenly, Jessica realized that Li Du had just borrowed some mana, but no one felt anything unusual, and his warm smile and warm voice gave people a sense of security, as if he was a part of the neighborhood and should have been born here.
Watching him make a grimace to make a little girl on the side of the road who had just dropped ice cream laugh, and when he turned around and returned a carton of fallen milk to the milk delivery brother, Jessica knew that Lee's Dao heart had sublimated again, and the mana he exuded was fused with the whole world, and everyone didn't think that he was any different from everyone, but treated him like a big brother next door.
"Ah, yes." Li suddenly turned around with a wicked smile, "I know there is a place where I will definitely win, and there is a hot dog shop in front of me, hehe, admit defeat." ”
Jessica, who was startled, pouted at him and said, "Hmph, let's talk about it if we really win, we haven't arrived yet." ”
"Hehe, you better hurry up and think about what you plan to lose to me. Don't you know the hot dog shop in the circle, they have been in business for so many years, how can they change lightly, that is their signature. ”
Hot dogs are Chicago's signature food, popular here since the beginning of the 20th century, and even Chicagoans who love hot dogs set the whole month of July as Hot Dog Month, and the circle hot dog shop is a very famous hot dog shop in the South Side, the staff in this shop are all black, Aunt Tracey is the owner of this shop, and their most distinctive thing is not only the delicious taste of hot dogs, but also their unique way of hospitality, that is, foul language. Yes, they will entertain you with the dirtiest and dirtiest foul language, yet because of this, countless tourists and curious people come to their shop to order a hot dog and listen to their foul language.
What's even more exaggerated is that this shop was actually on the famous American talk show Conan Show because of this, in that show, the choreographer and director who was responsible for handling the voice almost went on strike, because almost all the languages could not be spoken, and the whole program was a blocked beep, which also made the circle hot dog shop popular throughout the United States.
Although Jessica knows that Aunt Tracey has no malicious intentions, this is just their marketing method, but those words really can't be said to be harmonious, no matter how strict they are, it's simply inappropriate for children throughout, and will they change, Jessica really has no bottom in her heart, after all, it is the sign of a hot dog shop.
Not long after walking, I faintly heard a noisy sound, Li's smile became more and more cheerful, there is a street away from the circle, and you can hear the voices of people from such a distance, it will not be the taste and side dishes of a gentle exchange hot dog.
Lee took Jessica's hand and ran towards the end of the street, he couldn't wait to see the girl's chagrin, it must have been funny.
I really came to the hot dog shop, but I was dumbfounded and became Lee.
"Hey, get me a hot dog, double sausage, double cheese, a layer of mayonnaise." A fat man in a suit and leather shoes and glasses squeezed into front of the window and said.
A fat aunt saw him, popped out of the window and pointed at him and said loudly: "Hey, fat boy, I know what you like to eat, but I know that a body like you can't eat like this anymore." ”
After speaking, the fat aunt turned her head and ordered, "A small sausage, more lettuce, more pickled cucumbers, and finally some sweet and sour sauce." Soon, a hot dog was wrapped and handed out, and the aunt stuffed the hot dog into his hand, and continued to instruct loudly: "Remember boy, your mother doesn't want you to become a 500-pound fat man and finally use a forklift to get you out of the house." Next! ”
The fat four-eyed man left the window with the hot dog, wiping tears as he gulped. A hand holding the microphone next to him suddenly stretched out, and a lewd white man asked fakely, "Hello, this gentleman, we are the film crew of the Conan show." We see that you are secretly wiping your tears, may I ask if the woman's words just now hurt you? We've heard that their business philosophy has changed, but they're still the same, right? ”
Li watched this scene with great interest, he heard what everyone said just now, and it could be seen that this reporter was trying to induce people to say what he wanted, these unscrupulous media people, afraid that the world would not be chaotic, still wanted to hear the poor black people work and live as they imagined.
It was the fat guy who wiped his tears and looked at the reporter with some anger, "What nonsense are you talking about, I've always come here to buy hot dogs, what you said is in the past, what they give me now is love, you know?" I cried because my mom had just passed away, and Aunt Tracy reminded me of my mom. With that, the angry young man turned away, not wanting to say anything more to them.
Li quietly looked at the busy scene in the shop, and another black woman added an extra sausage to a girl's hot dog and instructed her in a unique word: "Baby, you're too thin now, this can't work, go to his weight loss, don't tell me that your boyfriend likes thin people, the Kardashian sisters are best known for their buttocks, just like your aunt, you know?" ”
A black guy handed in a large handful of money in another window and shouted, "Doug, Doug, this is the hot dog money I owe last month, you order." ”
"Come on, it's good to put it there, is it still the same as before, chicken, pickled cucumbers, cheese? How about it, I'm right, you take it seriously, do Uncle Wang's job well, he won't deduct your salary casually, you were too loose before, if it wasn't for the Taoist chief to persuade me to convince people with reason, I really want to beat you up for Uncle Wang. With that, the tall and skinny Doug handed him the wrapped hot dog from the window.
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly, "Didn't I change it, Uncle Wang didn't tell me that he didn't fire me when I was like that before." By the way, to thank you, I bought two tickets and went to watch the game in the evening, Bulls vs. Knicks. ”
Compared with the deliberate rude abuse in the past, now this place is more like a big family, whether you know each other or not, the people in the store are like family members to tell you, comfort you, and even scold you, but you don't feel disgusted, they are like your real mother, aunt, brother, especially those who are not around for various reasons, simply treat this place as a family restaurant to eat.
"You're right, I'm really doing a good job." Lee put his arm around Jessica and looked at her with a smile, "So, let's do it together." ”
"Hmm." Jessica nodded vigorously and snuggled into his arms.
