Chapter 54: Tentative Observation
Wu Tongguang looked at the wooden board printed with the recipe, ordered two dishes casually, and asked for half a catty of wine. may be the reason for the small number of guests, the speed of serving food today is indeed very fast, in less than ten minutes, the dishes ordered by Wu Tongguang, and the wine he asked for were neatly placed on the table.
Wu Tongguang took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times. In my heart, I secretly screamed, "The taste is quite average." I talked to the shopkeeper before that it was good and cheap, but what I said was against my will. Now it seems that things are not beautiful, as for whether the price is cheap or not, it will be time to settle the bill.
Wu Tongguang was eating, and at this time, several diners entered the restaurant one after another. Just when one of the diners entered the restaurant and was about to close, Wu Tongguang, who was facing the direction of the door, saw two familiar figures standing on both sides of the door, weren't these the two little beggars who had just given alms by themselves! The two little beggars stared at themselves with dark eyes.
Wu Tongguang couldn't guess what the two little beggars were still looking for him, it was because he was generous and wanted to make some money from himself, but no matter what, let the two children come in.
Wu Tongguang got up and walked to the gate, raised his arms and pushed it gently, and the gate opened. When the two little beggars saw that it was Wu Tongguang, there was a smile on their faces.
Wu Tongguang smiled and said to the two little beggars: "Come in first, warm up, warm up!" After speaking, Wu Tongguang stood aside and made way for the little girl and the little boy to come in.
Little girl and little boy, you look at me, I look at you, although there is some hesitation. But the two children still held each other's hands and carefully crossed the threshold of the restaurant.
Before Wu Tongguang could close the door, a shout rang out in the restaurant, "Where did you come from, call Huazi, hurry up!" ”
The little girl and the little boy were startled by the sudden shouting, and the two instinctively took a step back and directly bumped into Wu Tongguang's body.
Wu Tongguang closed the door, hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was a young man in the restaurant. Wu Tongguang immediately waved his hand at the young man and motioned for him to let the two children in. The young man understood, smiled awkwardly at Wu Tongguang twice, and then went back to greet the other guests.
Wu Tongguang led the little girl and the little boy to his table and sat them down.
Wu Tongguang handed the two of them a pair of chopsticks each, and said with a smile, "Didn't you eat enough just now?" Let's eat some more, I can't finish it myself anyway! Wu Tongguang is telling the truth, he really has no appetite today, and when he comes, he is pretending to be in his heart and anxious to find out the situation. Second, the taste of the dishes in this restaurant is indeed very average.
Both the little girl and the little boy took the chopsticks, but neither of them picked up the dishes. I saw the little girl fumbling in her arms for a long time, then took out a box of Hademen cigarettes, and handed them to Wu Tongguang, and said timidly, "Big brother, we saw that you smoked quite frequently just now, and this is for you!" After saying that, he hurriedly took his hand back quickly.
The little boy pouted and added, "We asked the uncle who sells cigarettes, and this box is the best and most expensive!" ”
Wu Tongguang picked up the Hademen cigarette that the little girl had just handed over, and he looked at the packaging on the cigarette box. Knowing that this kind of cigarette is considered a high-end cigarette among middle-class people like them.
Wu Tongguang looked at the little girl and the little boy with some pity, two little beggars who many people would avoid when they saw them, and they also knew that they knew that they were grateful for the report, although they used the money that Wu Tongguang had just given them.
In contrast, in those days, many well-dressed people who were considered successful in the eyes of others were sometimes less conscientious than the two little beggars.
Wu Tongguang sighed and shouted at the little guy, "Man, bring me another plate of steamed buns!" ”
"You want meat!" Wu Tongguang then added.
"Well, wait a minute!" The young man replied loudly to Wu Tongguang.
It didn't take much effort for the young man to bring up a plate of steaming buns. The little girl and the little boy stared at the steaming white bread on the table, and thought that the bun was stuffed with minced meat. Give the two little ones a greedy straight swallow.
Seeing this, Wu Tongguang couldn't help laughing out loud, and pretended to be serious and said, "Eliminating these buns on the table is your task today, and I won't let you out if you don't eat them all!" ”
The two children looked at each other, and a sentence was floating in their simple hearts, there is such a beautiful task in this world!
The little boy swallowed hard, grabbed a bun directly, and then devoured it. Seeing this, the little girl also let go of all the worries in her heart, grabbed a bun and ate it quickly.
Wu Tongguang looked at the two children gobbling up, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. If these two children had just eaten a big bowl of noodles, they should have put their feet on the bottom, and they wouldn't be so gobbling it up now!
Wu Tongguang looked at the two children's swollen faces because they were eating too fast, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you two just listen to your eldest brother and eat noodles?" ”
Both children wanted to answer Wu Tongguang's question, but their mouths were stuffed with buns, and they couldn't answer.
Both the little girl and the little boy sped up their chewing, and after swallowing most of the buns that had been stuffed into their mouths, the little girl was the first to reply, "Big brother, no. We went to eat noodles, but the bowl I was given was all broken and boiled into noodle soup. ”
The boy added, "The bowl I was given had a piece of salt that didn't melt!" It's unpalatable to death! ”
At this time, the little girl took out a neatly folded pile of banknotes from her little padded jacket, and the face value was almost a dime.
The little girl spread this small pile of banknotes in front of Wu Tongguang, and said proudly, "Big brother, he found the wrong money for us, I gave him a dollar, and he found a dime and a dime, and found me a total of one piece." ”
Wu Tongguang said to the two children with some seriousness, "This time you are excusable, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, you must take the initiative to return the money you found for you!" You're all going to be honest kids, you know? ”
The two children nodded slowly at Wu Tongguang. The pride on his face that had just turned into guilt in an instant.
But when Wu Tongguang heard these things mentioned by the little girl, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Even the street stalls don't make things so rough. It can make it difficult for two hungry little beggars to swallow, which shows that the owner of this noodle stall is definitely a novice.
Moreover, such a small business as running a roadside noodle stall pays attention to careful budgeting, and should not have made such a low-level mistake as finding the wrong money, and still found more money from others, which shows that the owner of this noodle stall does not intend to operate, and should have other plans.
And this noodle stall is just across the street from the restaurant, so the owner of this stall is likely to be in league with the gang of evil stars on the second floor. If Wu Tongguang's judgment is true, these two little guys can be regarded as a great help to themselves!
