Chapter 4: The present is different from the past

Yamada chose to eat at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant not too far from the bank, which is next to several other restaurants. When Midong and her arrived, it was the peak season for the first wave of diners, and there was a long line in front of the store, stretching all the way to the end of the street!

"There are so many people, can't we change them?"

Meidong lamented helplessly, and the store put up a sign at the end of the line, saying "It takes 30 minutes to queue".

"Actually......" dragged the person over, and Yamada Hamiko sneered, "Today happens to be my birthday, so I want to celebrate." Conveyor sushi, it's rare to enjoy such a meal, Aoyama-san, you'll accompany me, right? ”

Mei Dong looked at the store door in the distance, and was indeed a little greedy, looked at her watch, nodded and said, "Since it's your birthday, let's make it difficult, let's accommodate." Happy birthday. But since it's your holiday...... Isn't it my treat? ”

The queue was long, and the issue could be discussed slowly, and in the end, it was Marble who decided to pay the full amount. After all, she dragged Midong here, and at first she had the reason to thank Midong, but it was a little unreasonable to ask the other party to pay for it at this time.

Meidong subconsciously reached out and put on the hanging bag, and she was also happy.

I starved for half an hour, and the hardest thing was the five minutes of waiting in front of the store at the end. Fortunately, it was only five minutes, and the clerk diligently prepared a double bar for the two women, and Midong was still calm, but Yamada Habuko was very excited.

"Save me some money!"

She took a white plate and said, "The white one costs 150 yen, the gold one costs 450 yen, and the black one costs 850 yen!" ”

"Good, white, white!"

Midon did choose only the cheapest thin-rolled sushi. Even Bozi naughtily picked a golden one as a birthday celebration, but she just held a white plate, and three plates in one breath were enough for a little girl's meal.

"It's really happy...... I only heard Yamada Hako sighing: "The second piece of gold, this caviar warship, is so delicious!" ”

"I'm more interested in the hand grip, and a piece of gold, since you've eaten both."

Mi Dong had already seen the eel in her hand, but unfortunately it was black, so she served a plate of salmon. For a mere two-person family, 450 yen will be reimbursed, which is really a rare luxury for ordinary temporary workers.

"Aoyama-san, is there anything important tonight?"

Yamada Boko took another sip and rolled down: "You've looked at the watch three times in a while." ”

"So, I'll be with you until seven o'clock at most tonight, and it's just six o'clock now." Midong drank her beer slowly: "I, I have a job every night, and although tonight's matter is extra, it can't be delayed too late." ”

She burped lightly and wiped her mouth gracefully, "So I'm sorry, Yamada-san, if you're going to go to karaoke after eating, I can't accompany you." Maybe you can hang up for someone else? ”

"It's all work~"

Yamada Habuko also ate a lot, munching on sushi rolls in a very short time, and her appetite and digestion were limited, so she touched her stomach half-supported and half-full.

"Aoyama-san has a part-time job at night, and I also have to hand out flyers on the street, temporary workers or something, even if the basic salary is a little less than that of a regular employee. Working hard every day and working overtime every night, when will we be able to live a good life......"

Midong silently lowered her eyelids and swept her gaze over the rolling sushi at the table.

White and gold discs, black discs and red discs, and the highest-grade purple grille discs are loaded with high-end sashimi, and the price of a single dish is 2,250 yen. Mei Dong swept to the next seat, the young brother was inviting his girlfriend to dinner, black and red were overlapping and intertwined, and there were a lot of grille disc series.

After they ate this meal, they had to spend two fortune Yuji.

And this is just a low-to-mid-grade conveyor sushi that can be found everywhere on the street.

"If you have a good life, you really have to go to China to work."

Midong smiled heartily: "Looking back now, it's still so incredible." When I was only thirteen years old, and when I finally stopped being confused, China's GDP actually surpassed that of the United States. In 2030, it is time to erect a monument to it. ”

"Aoyama-san is saying strange things again." Yamada Haruko took a big sip of beer: "But you have a point. Although I don't know much more, when it comes to learning Chinese, hehe, I still have a bit of an advantage! ”

"Poof, compared to Europe and the United States, any Japanese person can have this advantage."

Midong waved his hand, and the look on his face was quite complicated: "Fortunately, in the past ten years, Japan's manufacturing industry has finally risen again, although it is certainly not as good as the infrastructure madness, but it has left the United States, where the industry is still hollowing out...... Well? ”

The black flip phone rings as the call rings, and Midong pulls it out of her white plastic satchel and sees that it is a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Hey, hello." She answered the phone and said, "Who are you?" ”

In the next second, with a long beep, the phone was actually hung up.

"What's going on?" Haruko Yamada saw the situation on the side: "Did you hang up the wrong phone?" ”

Midong frowned. She stared at the number on the screen, the number starting with 131, and had memorized it completely.

"Hmph, I don't apologize for hanging up the wrong phone, I just cut it off, such a person must be the scum of society."

Midong easily defined people as sexual, and then ignored them.

She looked at the time on her phone, it was a quarter past six, and then looked at the sky outside the store, and the night had already fallen. It's the spring equinox, but the latitude of Tokyo doesn't seem to have recovered from winter, and night is still falling so fast.

"I guess I'd better go."

She patted Yamada Boko and said, "Maybe the phone call just now is the underworld urging me to report to them quickly." Yamada-san, don't you have a problem, do you need me to help you pay? ”

At this moment, Midong is even more generous than usual, which makes Yamada Boko surprised for a while, but she can't rely on good things, and she is a treat for dinner today. After receiving the reply, Midong smiled gently at her, then picked up her satchel and walked out of the store like a fly.

"It's a little bit bad."

As soon as she stepped onto the sidewalk, Midong was confronted by two men on her shoulders, but she didn't care about that, and quickly walked ahead against the flow of her master.

"When a call comes from an unknown number, and you hang up silently in less than five seconds, can you still make the meaning of intimidation more obvious?"

She soon came to an intersection, where a dozen pedestrians were waiting for the traffic light to change.

The moment the green light turned on, she took a deep breath and snorted proudly softly.
