Chapter 148: Greedy Nature
When lunch was served, the cabin attendants distributed a variety of lunches to passengers in the cabin corridor in an orderly manner.
The lunch options are:
Chinese-style rice, Western-style noodles, and Chinese-style and Western-style side dishes.
There are also Pepsi, Coca-Cola, beer, vodka and whiskey.
Several flight attendants, pushing food carts for the cabin, came to the aisle between each row of passengers in turn, and kept asking passengers politely in French or English:
"Do you need Chinese or Western food?"
If they encounter a passenger who does not understand the language, they will point to the open samples of Chinese and Western food and gesture with their hands to ask for the passenger's choice.
Since the vast majority of the passengers on this flight are Chinese citizens, and most of them are citizens traveling abroad. Therefore, in front of many seats, the communication between the flight attendant and the passenger is mainly based on finger gestures to solicit intentions.
When a black female flight attendant came to Mengdu and Liping's seat, the flight attendant also asked Mengdu and Liping in English if they needed a Chinese or Western lunch.
Although Mengdu didn't know English, he already roughly knew the meaning of the flight attendant's question from the communication between the flight attendant and the passenger in front of him, so he turned his head and asked Liping:
"Liping, dear, do you want to eat Chinese or Western food?"
"Bring me some Chinese food."
Liping nodded politely at the black female flight attendant, then stretched out her finger and pointed to the Chinese food samples on the food truck.
The black flight attendant said "OK" and immediately took out a Chinese fast food from the food truck, plus a small food box containing cutlery and food accompaniment, and delivered it to Liping with a swift movement.
"Hello, bring me some Western food."
Dreams belong to the kind of young people who like to draw fresh pictures all the time.
After seeing that the flight attendant had delivered Chinese food to Liping, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Western food samples on the food truck.
“OK!”
The black female flight attendant skillfully took out a Western-style bibimbap from the food truck, and handed it to Mengdu with a small food box containing cutlery and food accompaniments.
"Hey, wait, wait. I also want a bottle of 'vodka'! ”
Seeing that the female flight attendant turned around and was about to deliver food to the passengers next to her, she hurriedly pointed to the small square box with various liquors on the upper floor of the food truck and shouted.
“OK!”
The female flight attendant knowingly took out a pocket bottle of "vodka" liquor from the small tray box of the square, smiled and handed it to Mengdu.
Then, the female flight attendant turned around again, ready to deliver food to the passenger next to her.
"Hey, wait, get me another beer!"
I really didn't expect that after Mengdu took over the "vodka", he was not satisfied.
He then pointed to the food cart's tray box with an unknown brand of beer printed in a foreign language.
"Mengdu, don't drink so much alcohol on the plane, you drink a bottle of 'vodka', it's almost okay, right?"
Liping felt a little ashamed of Mengdu's behavior, so she whispered to dissuade him beside her.
To be honest, in Liping's mind, from the National Day to the present, it has always been deeply imprinted with the picture of the night of the wedding ceremony, when she was drunk and unconscious.
"Liping, you just eat yours, don't talk too much!"
Mengdu interrupted his wife's persuasion with a wave of his hand, continued to wave to the flight attendant, and stretched out his hand to point to Liping beside him, and at the same time stretched out a finger to the flight attendant, meaning to say:
"Bring her a beer".
“OK!”
The female flight attendant smiled and nodded tirelessly, and took another can of beer from the food cart and handed it to Mondu.
"Mengdu, now that we're on the plane, you, or do you want to drink less?"
When the flight attendant turned to deliver food to the other passengers, Liping continued to persuade Mengdu with some apprehension.
"No problem, just a little wine, for me, isn't it a little 'KS'? You don't know, this can of beer may be an authentic brand beer made in Germany! ”
Mengdu proudly admired the can of beer printed in foreign languages in his hand, and then put it on the small dining table in front of Liping, and smiled at her with great satisfaction:
"Honey, we can dine."
After that, Yumedu tore open the silver tin foil on the fast food box with some difficulty, and the Italian-style Western-style noodles were immediately revealed.
Liping glanced at her stubborn newlywed husband, shook her head helplessly, and had to reach out and tear open her lunch box.
The Chinese food Liping calls is rice, which is covered with a few slices of beef, dozens of edamame, and a dozen slices of greens.
Then, Liping opened the small food box containing the cutlery and condiments.
In addition to the light yellow plastic tableware, there was also a small bottle of mineral water, a small box of cold salad, a golden banana and two red oranges.
Liping took out the plastic bag containing the plastic tableware, tore off the packaging, took out the plastic knife and fork, and began to eat.
Mengdu, like Liping, took out a plastic knife and fork, devoured a few mouthfuls of Italian noodles, and then, vigorously unscrewed the lid of the "vodka" bottle, raised his head, and took a few sips, and the small half bottle of "vodka" liquor was already in his stomach.
Then, Mengdu ate two more bites of veal steak on the pasta with a knife and fork, and then took a few more sips, and the "vodka" liquor in the pocket bottle was immediately only the bottom of the bottle.
"Well, this Russian liquor is really good, and it's very enjoyable to drink! If only I had ordered two bottles! ”
After drinking "vodka" in the dream, he felt very comfortable, and at the same time felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he shook his head and muttered to himself.
After finishing speaking, Mengdu stuffed the empty "vodka" bottle into the back glove bag of the front seat, then picked up the can of beer on the small table in front of Liping, stretched out his fingers, skillfully hooked off the pull ring lid on the beer can, raised it to his mouth, and drank a few sips of "Gu Du Du".
"Mengdu, don't drink so fast. Look, the people next to you are watching you! ”
Liping saw that Mengdu was sitting on the plane, and also drank in this way of drinking in the provincial capital, and felt very twisted in her heart, so she quietly glanced around with her eyes, and sure enough, she found that on the side and back of her seat, there were several "foreigner" passengers, who were looking at Mengdu with a strange eye.
Therefore, Liping hurriedly and quietly reminded her husband.
"Ahem, what are you worried about? This wine is not free! The wine money is included in the ticket price we bought, and I don't eat and drink for nothing! ”
Yumedu glanced at his wife indifferently, then turned his head to the side and glanced at the passenger seat behind him, and sure enough, he found that there were several foreign guests around, looking at him with a look of contempt and contempt.
Mengdu was stunned for a moment, and then he restrained the flamboyant action of drinking just now.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally put down the beer can in his hand, picked up the fork in the lunch box, and continued to chew the noodles in his hand.
When all the passengers in the cabin began to eat attentively, the middle-aged and elderly flight attendants who served the passengers in the aisle of the cabin delivered drinks to the passengers in an orderly manner.
After about an hour, the passengers in the cabin had basically run out of lunch.
At this time, the flight attendants quietly came to the aisle of the cabin and began to collect fast food boxes, meal boxes, wine bottles and feed containers, as well as used napkins and waste paper by passengers.
I was full and drunk, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, most of the passengers in the cabin put the blankets on their chests, then tilted the backs of their seats back slightly, and then leaned their heads back on the back of the seats to start their lunch break.
Mengdu and Liping, like other passengers, reclined on the back of their seats and took a comfortable lunch break for two or three hours.
When they opened their eyes again, from the flight route map displayed on the TV screen in the cabin, it turned out that the plane had already flown over Poland.
According to the flight route map displayed on the TV screen, the plane that Mengdu and Liping took needed to pass through several countries such as Russia, Belarus, Vitolia, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany before arriving in Paris, the capital of France.
Anyway, on that TV screen, there will be Chinese subtitles, English subtitles, and French and other languages of unknown countries.
The various characters are constantly changing, constantly showing the names of the national capitals passing through, and after looking at it for a long time, my head is a little dizzy.
After the lunch break, Mengdu and Liping respectively took out the headphones in the bag on the back of the front seat, and after the two put them on, they watched TV for a while, listened to music for a while, and gradually felt tired, so they closed their eyes and inadvertently slept for a while.
It was only then that they truly realized that after a long time on the plane, the whole person was like a sickness, with fatigue, limp limbs, and heavy minds.
The enthusiasm for traveling abroad when I first got on the plane will have long since floated out of the clouds.
The Airbus 380A that Mengdu and Liping took from Shanghai, from east to west, and flew for more than nine hours, until all the passengers in the cabin felt weak one by one, and the soft voice of a female flight attendant sounded in the headphones.
The cabin announcer kindly told the passengers:
Paris is almost here!
Now that the plane is on land, passengers are asked to turn off all electronics, fasten their seatbelts, and prepare for landing.
If you need to use the toilet, please hurry up and the toilet will be closed in 15 minutes.
Of course, both Mengdu and Liping can't understand foreign languages, and they don't know what the female announcer just broadcasts.
It was the leader of the travel agency who was interpreting softly on the side, and the members of the tour group understood what the broadcast of "babbling and wah" on the radio meant.
Ahh
More than nine hours in the air, more than nine hours away from the ground!
After this long-distance flight, Mengdu and Liping deeply realized an unbreakable truth:
People can't leave the ground for a long time!
At the same time, they have the most intimate experience of how closely related to the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" that their ancestors often said are closely related to human life.
About twenty minutes later, the plane entered the skies over Paris.
A world-famous metropolis is becoming more and more visible to passengers as the plane descends:
High-rise buildings, wide roads, neat farmland, smoke-free factories, and orderly flow of cars on the highway give people a fresh and refreshing feeling!
Oh –
Paris, the capital of France!
The world-famous metropolis that has been longed for a long time has finally come to its sky at this moment!
In the excitement and anticipation of the passengers, the Airbus 380A, which had flown long distances for more than eight hours, has landed steadily at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Mengdu and Liping walked off the plane with the members of the tour group, and under the guidance of the travel agency leader, they went to the baggage claim area of the airport to take out their luggage, and then came to the customs window at the exit of the airport, went through the passport verification and entry procedures one by one, and then followed the tour group out of the waiting hall.
