Volume 1: You Only Have to Meet Once in a Life Chapter 220: The inferiority complex that can't be hidden
"That's not good, that's not good, only he works for me, I don't give you food for nothing."
The boss shouted loudly, waved his hand and said no, turned his back and ignored the three people outside the door.
This shrewd Shanghai citizen atmosphere mixed with the tempting fragrance of roast duck into the nose, teasing A worm to want to swing his fist to teach this boss a lesson, A dog to a rat to make a look, a rat failed to understand what a dog meant, watching a worm to the boss swing a fist, feeling bad, quickly said:
"Then I'll work for four days, boss, I'll work for my friend, just give us four roast ducks!"
Ah Gou listened, and smiled proudly in his heart, this kid is not completely blind, and he also knows how to honor and honor his eldest brother, what did he just say, friend? Is he friends with the three of us? That's good, boy. A worm stuck it in a dog's ear and said, I think this kid is stupid, isn't it, brother dog? - This kid is a treasure.
The boss took the rat into the house, taught him how to pour the sauce and how to pack it, and then went out to greet the business. Outside, a dog, a worm, and a cat are leaning on a telephone post in front of the store, a dog is biting a toothpick in his mouth, and he is squinting at the charred and fleshy ducks in the window, the more he looks, the more hungry he becomes, damn, isn't this person's mother-in-law and mother-in-law finished yet? Lao Tzu is almost hungry to death, so it is better to just grab it.
Ah Gou was thinking about it, Ah Rat came out and said to the boss that it was all wrapped, and the boss was very happy, so he immediately untied a duck and helped to pack it for him. A rat thanked him, walked out of the roast duck shop, and a worm and a cat surrounded him, smelling the roast duck in his hand, and was intoxicated. Ah Rat smiled, walked up to Ah Dog, spread out the duck and said:
"Brother dog, eat roast duck, your method is so good, it turns out that people will give something to eat."
Ah Gou took a few pieces of duck and put them in his mouth to chew, and when he heard this, he almost died of laughter, and covered his mouth and said:
"You can do that next time!"
Rat smiled and took a slice of duck to eat, wow! It's so delicious, much better than clear porridge. I'll be back to work tomorrow, and I'll have ducks to eat. A cat saw that there were two duck legs that were not cut completely, and hurriedly took one to honor the dog, and the rest of the one he wanted to eat, just reached out and held the duck leg, and was grabbed by the dog and stretched out to the rat.
"Come on, you eat, the duck leg is the best, don't let the two stupid ones waste it."
A cat was not convinced, but did not dare to disobey a dog, a rat has not finished chewing in his mouth, heard a dog tell him to eat duck legs, raised his head, smiled to pick up, a cat has no duck legs, angrily picked a piece of duck neck and stuffed it into his mouth. The four of you and I ate a whole duck in a blink of an eye, and everyone wiped their mouths with satisfaction. Ah Gou suddenly thought that he didn't even know the name of this kid, so he asked him:
Almost all of these boys wandered here from other places, and their roots are not here, but their footprints are all over the streets of Shanghai. Growing up in the dazzling red and green of neon lights, you will flutter your nose excitedly when you smell the smell of the ocean of banknotes, and you will close your eyes reverently when you listen to the church bells and the candlelight of the choir, and pray like your godfather.
A dog admires the posture of the godfather on the stage. That red dress is so majestic, and the way he closes his hands has an indescribable charm, which is probably the image of his father.
The four of them came to the church without making trouble, and it was unusually quiet, and the church father told them that they had anything to pray for and to repent, and they told God about it. What do you say to God? What the young people are like, what they are now, how chic and dashing they are, what to repent to God, and what to pray.
I don't know how long this kind of day has passed, A Rat has been willing to be a little follower of a dog, and later became a little follower of Qinxin, thinking that the days will flow like water calmly, there is no end, no one expected that the last Rat would kill a dog, got the help of Tie Ming, Da Lin's appreciation, and became a part of the Lin family.
Fate is sometimes like a naughty child, when you are quietly walking in a small alley, he suddenly appears from a corner, makes a grimace at you, startles you, and when you are about to enter a porter, he suddenly appears again, and flicks a pebble on your buttocks, and you will jump up with an "ah", and the child will clapped his hands and run away triumphantly.
This is fate, the rat drove slowly, the past flashed in his mind like a movie, and before he had time to savor it, it was crushed by his own wheels.
Turning a street corner and waiting for a red light, the black sign of "Majestic Hotel" appeared. It was particularly winkling in the midst of a colorful signboard, and the people who entered the door were gentlemen in suits and leather shoes and ladies and ladies dressed in fashion.
A rat's head shrank, his eyes blinked, his head shrank inunconsciously inside, and the tragic memories reappeared one by one, I remember clearly that time A dog took them to sneak in to steal money, the money just arrived, and when they were about to slip out, they were discovered, they fled, and were quickly stopped by a few security guards and beaten half to death, and the wailing seemed to linger in their ears.
Since that experience, Ah Rat did not dare to enter Dahua again, and Dahua also began to strictly check the people entering and leaving, and did not let people go when they saw people who were not brightly dressed. Years later, the rat is here again. The signboard is still the same signboard, the store is still the same point, but the rat has changed its appearance and is no longer a rat.
But bright and expensive clothes still can't hide the humility in his heart, and he still can't create a generous, stable, mature and confident upper-class person.
The car drove hesitantly, and there was already a security guard to guide him to where he parked. A rat nodded to him, and it took a long time to stop the car, get out of the car, and cover his face as if he was afraid of the light, but he was actually afraid that the security guard would recognize him.
This time, the security guard was respectful, guided him to the door of the hotel, bent down to open the door for him, and did not dare to look at him. Rat sneered, grabbed the security guard's hat, revealing his bare head, and the security guard quickly covered his head. The rat also turned the hat twice in his hand before returning the hat to the security guard and dropping a sentence:
"Watch Dog!"
The security guard was inexplicable, stared at him with a pair of eyes, and watched him enter the door angrily, and scolded in his heart depressedly, "What kind of person is this!" With a shake of his hand, he returned to the parking lot to receive guests.
It was still early, and only Ah Rat arrived at the hotel first. There is no need to go into detail about how luxurious it is and how beautiful it is. Shanghai is full of such big hotels, and only the rich can walk in and eat here calmly.
Rat first came to the lobby bar and sat down for a while, looking at the rich people around him. They eat like birds, and they just take a small bite and a small mouthful, and their mouths move a little twice, and they can't tell that they are swallowing and swallowing. A waiter came up to him and asked:
"Sir, may I ask for something?"
"Huh?"
Rat looked up at him suspiciously, I just sat down, I didn't plan to ask for anything. The waiter spreads out the menu and asks him to order a snack with drinks. Rat opened his eyes and looked at him, looking at his respectful appearance, which was really comfortable. Forget it, I'll order the same, if I don't order something and leave, you won't laugh at me.
"Wow! Your stuff here is so expensive! ”
A rat turned a page and complained, sat on one leg instead, "brushed, brushed" and flipped through the menu, the dishes behind it were even more expensive, and it was shocking. Several young girls at the next table were eating ice cream, and they couldn't help but laugh at his funny appearance, and talked one after another, "Look at that person, as if he hasn't been in a restaurant." ”
Although he didn't speak loudly, Ah Rat's pair of sensitive mouse ears could hear it very clearly, and the sense of humiliation climbed up like a little snake, itching him all over his body. The waiter explained to him, "The food in the restaurant is clearly priced, and there will be no deception." "Oh, don't you say, "Don't eat if you can't afford it!" "What is clearly marked with a price, it is clear that it is a money grab. It's going to be so expensive for you.
I originally wanted to have a glass of red wine to fill it, but the money pocket was deflated, and I couldn't afford it, so I ordered something else. When the rat saw the snack of "egg pudding", he pointed his finger and showed it to the waiter.
"Now, here's this!"
The waiter answered and asked if he wanted anything else. Rat waved his hand, and the waiter went down, and when he returned, he was holding a large crimson tray in his hand, and Rat craned his neck and did not see anything in it. When the waiter approached, he put down a small, small round dish containing something like a golden stewed egg.
"Egg pudding?"
Rat pointed his fingers, his head half-tilted, and asked the waiter with a puzzled face, and the waiter replied, "Yes, use it slowly." A rat couldn't help but smile bitterly, buckled the small plate, leaned his head forward, and carefully studied it, such a small thing costs ten yuan? I can't see anything good, and I eat half a year's meal money in one bite.
"Tut-tut."
A rat felt distressed, he couldn't spend money like this, how much did he have to earn this year to withstand such luxury. Mr. Lin invited me to eat here, but he didn't want to eat himself poor. The rat picked up the small spoon, which was not much bigger than the ear spoon, and dug it gently, and a sweet fragrance spread, drilling straight into the nose, making people appetite.
"Whew."
A rat swallowed it excitedly, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and only clicked a little on the tip of his tongue and slid down his stomach, huh? How is there no taste? Rat dug up another spoonful and tasted it. Oh! It's much better than egg stew, fragrant and sweet, slippery and wet, with a sugar taste but not sugar. What's this thing called? - Egg pudding!
Spoonful after spoonful, and soon the small dish bottomed out. A rat is like a child who eats something good for the first time, and he has to smack his lips after eating, and the taste is really good, and he shouts to the waiter to come again.
It was close to seven o'clock, and after tasting the last bite of egg pudding, the rat finished the bill, and hurried to the box to see if they were here. Sure enough, here it is. Tie Ming waited for him at the door of the box, and beckoned him in as soon as he saw him coming.
"You're not late, am you?"
"It's just right, it's better to be in time than to be in time, and we've just arrived."
