Chapter 5 There is more than just money

As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, so even if I whistle happily at this time, I can't resist the hunger in my stomach after I haven't eaten lunch.

After all, in my opinion, whistling is also a physically draining thing.

And this is enough to prove one thing - whistling is only for those who have eaten enough.

So I kept my mouth shut, afraid that the hunger burp would disturb my already unpleasant whistle.

When people are hungry, they have to eat, but between people, even the matter of eating, is different.

It's like a poor person eating, a steamed bun with cold water, even if it is a meal, it doesn't cost a few yuan, but fortunately, it is full.

You can't say that they are happy like this, after all, in addition to being full, each of us wants to be able to eat well.

During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, he once said a sentence, why not eat minced meat?

I'm just an ordinary person, I haven't lived that rich life, so I naturally understand the reason why I don't eat minced meat, after all, I have really felt the life of the poor.

At this time, it was time to get off work, and many people who had just left work walked together in twos and threes, each looking for a place to eat that would satisfy them.

And in these people, I saw many migrant workers who still had cement residues on their bodies, and although they did nothing wrong at this time, they still made many self-conscious people avoid them.

Although it is also a meal, on the way to choose, I have to say that there is already a gap, and the poor and the rich will eventually be divided into high and low.

I remember reading a quote that said that the only difference between the poor and the rich was in the bathhouse, but the person who wrote it forgot that the rich and the poor don't go to the same place to bathe.

My life is okay, not poor, but I can't compare to those rich and noble people, but even so, I can still choose to eat where I like without worrying that the money in my pocket will make my life stressful.

Everyone's choice will have their own basis.

Like where I'm going to eat next, I think it's because of its class, or because of the quality of its hospitality, or because of the delicious stir-fry of its chefs.

But in reality, neither.

I chose this one, it is not of high grade, because migrant workers will occasionally come over to drink a bottle of beer and order a few dishes; The quality of its hospitality is not high, and even a bowl of rice has to be served by yourself; You say his chef stir-fry is delicious? This is a mom-and-pop shop, and the two of them make home-cooked food, no matter how delicious it is, can it still be made into flowers?

So it seems that the only advantage of this store is that it is affordable.

I don't deny this, after all, I won't eat a fried rice with a price tag of 88, not because I can't afford it, but because it's not worth it.

And in this world, there are many things that are decided by whether they are worth it or not.

Because this shop doesn't have 88 servings of fried rice, I will walk in, and because the 121 pieces of loose rice in this shop will also make people feel happy to eat, so I will come often.

Here, you won't see the streets avoiding it, just a kind greeting and a handwashing water that has been prepared for a long time.

Here, you won't hear the noise of the small restaurants, regardless of class, just the whispers of diners.

Maybe when you have a cold, you are too lazy to make a bowl of ginger soup, if you talk to him, a bowl of ginger soup will be placed in front of you soon.

Maybe the meal has been cold once because of the time, but the microwave in the corner can keep you warm, so the food is always steaming.

Although sometimes you will see the husband and wife sulking, you will never see their quarrels, let alone their faces to the diners, some are just the woman's slight pinch on his waist when the man serves the meal to the diner, and the man will always smile at the diner even if he is in pain.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this bit by bit that people feel the affection of this store and feel the feeling of home, and this is the most intimate for wanderers who are away from home.

Walking into the store, the proprietress saw me at a glance, but when she saw my bald head, a smile was evident on the corner of her mouth.

"Why is it like this, it's getting cold." A dinner plate was taken out, and she put on her gloves.

"Suddenly, I wanted to try what it was like to have a bald head, so I cut it, it's still the same as before, scattered, shredded potatoes, shredded fish-flavored pork, fried pig's blood, and spicy tofu, chicken thighs, and meatballs." In response to her words, I pointed to the food inside the glass and said one by one.

"Actually, you are good-looking, and it is not ugly to be bald, unlike my family, it is not good to be bald and ugly, I dislike him." She whispered to me.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but be happy, took the hot meal, and glanced at the man who was resting on the bench behind her.

To be honest, he is indeed not handsome, but the whole person reveals a unique fortitude of a man, giving people an extremely masculine feeling, and it is this feeling that makes him look extraordinarily comfortable.

Thinking of this, I also lowered my voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Last time, he secretly told me that you were the most beautiful in his eyes." ”

Hearing this, her face obviously showed a trace of shy joy, and she put a few more fried dried fish on my plate, and her tone revealed a little happiness: "You kid will make me happy, how can he say such nice things like this idiot." ”

"Really, I don't believe you can go home and ask him in the evening." I still had a smile on my face and said.

"Go, go, eat your food, fish don't need money." Another bowl of rice was served to me, and her face was visibly flushed.

Holding the extra meal, my eyes happened to glance at the woman who was sitting with the man and whispering, and I knew that she must have asked me if I had said such a thing, and the man would have admitted it after a moment's pause, and then coaxed her into smiling brightly, and served me an extra chicken leg that didn't cost me the next time I came.

The icing on the cake is always a thing that makes others happy and makes you happy.

The number of people in the small shop gradually increased, and I also said hello to them after eating, settled the bill on WeChat, and walked out of the restaurant.

Although their mobile phones do not have a payment sound, they still believe that no one will deliberately evade the order.

I also joked that they weren't afraid that I wouldn't check out, and they didn't even set a prompt sound, but the man told me that he was doing this on purpose, they were all home-cooked food, and the price was not high.

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I glanced back at the small restaurant called Husband and Wife's Home Cooking, and a trace of warmth rose in my heart.

Fried fish that doesn't cost money, it's really fragrant.
