83, talk about tipping (1)

Tipping, it's a very fashionable foreign word. Of course, this form is also a typical foreign product. However, its origins come from the ancient Eastern civilizations. This is what our ancestors used to call rewards.

Chasing the essence is also a rewarding act. Of course, our ancestors also used to say that they gave a reward to indicate this kind of reward. This reward becomes a reward in the army and in the gangs. These are all created by our ancestors with their own ingenuity.

But I don't know when the wisdom of our ancestors was taken away by Westerners. Whether they will learn, learn or do what is unknown is unknown. Anyway, it's someone else's stuff now.

And this kind of rewarding behavior from our ancestors has become a sign of noble gentlemanly demeanor in the West; Or a means of earning a living that is akin to a profession. And we, the unscrupulous descendants, have long forgotten about this.

That's not to mention, we have to go back and learn from others when we get better. It's sad to think about. Can it not be sad? Our ancestors have left us thousands of years of ancient civilization, how much do we, who disdain our descendants, know the Tao?

How much did you remember? How much has been inherited? And how much has it carried forward? What is sad and ridiculous is that many people are indiscriminate now, as long as it is a foreigner's thing, it is advanced and good.

Just blindly worship and follow elegantly. Don't you know that many of the foreign gadgets they follow are treasures left to us by our ancestors and abandoned by us. This may be a slap in the face given to us by the ancestors of the Heavenly Spirit.

However, those foreigners are just smart. After digging these treasures of our ancestors, we will continue to research and innovate. So much so that it has become more advanced. So as to promote it comprehensively. Let's just talk about the bounty treasure left to us by our ancestors.

On the side of the Westerners, it has been fully inherited and developed. Especially in the upper classes. Tipping is seen as a sign of gentlemanly demeanor. Therefore, those dignitaries and nobles are running out of consumption. Don't forget to tip the people who provide their services.

In this way, tipping became a means of livelihood for some people in the service industry. The contact of Chinese people with tips should be followed until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Especially after the contact and edification of the Chinese and foreign people. But a mutated treasure from our ancestors.

It's just that it has become a talking point for people to look at the Western scenery and comment after dinner. The revolution of the Republic of China made the minds of the Chinese people at that time unprecedentedly emancipated. Plus what the foreigners brought.

The influx of cafes and foreign hotels gave the Chinese people enough opportunities to contact and worship these fake foreign things. As a result, tipping has gradually become well-known by the Chinese people. However, this was mostly limited to returnees and upper-class people at that time.

Most ordinary people still don't know what a tip is. I don't know if this tip is a variant of our ancestors. Even if some people in big cities have heard a thing or two about tipping.

It's just looking at the Western scenery from the side. Jokes, I don't have food and clothing, can I still afford to tip them? They are still looking forward to asking for tips. But. Ordinary people also don't have the opportunity to tip others.

Those foreign hotels and the like, a lot of times they can't even get in. Not to mention going in and spending money to tip others. After liberation, the people of the country passed by the tip. Because these fake foreign things have been completely revolutionized.

It wasn't until after the reform and opening up that these fake foreign things made a comeback. However, the Chinese people who have been baptized by the revolution do not seem to be very interested in this fake foreign thing. It's to this day.

The fake foreign thing of tipping is not as popular as it is in their mother's house, on the part of Westerners. It's just that some special places such as cafes, high-end hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment services are more popular.

After all, is the national situation different? Our people have received thousands of years of Confucian education since childhood. There is no gentlemanly concept. Even many people don't know who a gentleman is. In addition, we are still an underdeveloped country.

The little money in most of us is just enough to feed our families. There's still spare money to tip them at that upscale place. Therefore, tipping has always been just a show-off for returnees and the petty bourgeoisie of the upper class.

Until recent years, many people have made a fortune. There is more silver in the purse, more confidence, and more places to enter and exit high-end consumption; Gradually, I developed the habit of tipping. Anyway, these people are rich.

Until that little pocket money, it is not money in their eyes. They were very generous and began to tip. But. In their eyes, this is just fashion and showing off wealth, not some gentlemanly demeanor or anything like that.

Even now, there aren't many people tipping. There will be some concept of gentlemanly demeanor. However, tipping is still recognized and popular in some industries in our country.

Especially in KTV, bars, bathing centers, high-end hotels, cafes and other service industries. Many practitioners live on tips. Especially some KTVs and bars.

Their waiters are not paid a fixed salary. They rely entirely on tips as their source of income. Needless to say. These people must have used tipping as a means of making a living. Of course, there are also unknown ones.

Some ladies and ducks in the name of PR. In their eyes. Tipping is not only a way to earn a living, but also a means to make a fortune. However, most of the people who depend on tipping to make a living are still good citizens.

In particular, most of the service staff in some high-end hotels, teahouses, and cafes are very simple and good citizens who rely on tips to make a living. Occasionally, though, there are some exceptions. Or how to say it.

"Ten fingers aren't ordinary." Yao Jiaxin and Chen Jun also encountered an exception in the café. On the day of the Qixi Festival, Chen Jun accompanied Yao Jiaxin to go shopping, and suddenly saw a big special signboard at the door of a café.

It's special, but it's really special: it's not a printed billboard, and it's not an ordinary advertisement like a light box. Rather, it is a life-size Weaver Girl and Cowherd model.

The most peculiar thing is that these two models can still blink their eyes and move their mouths to speak. I saw that the cowherd blinked his eyes and said, "Lady, today is our holiday, let's go in and have a cup of coffee." ”

"Xianggong, there are so many coffee shops on the street. Why drink coffee in this shop? The weaver girl also blinked, and asked charmingly and delicately. (To be continued......)
