Compared to when it first opened, there are two more waiters at the barbecue galaxy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info staff walked in the corridor with a smile on their faces, the store closed early, and they left work early, all in a happy mood.

After walking down a few floors, I don't know which one proposed it, and the clerks began to discuss where to wait.

Among these people who are in a happy mood and have a lot of discussions, they do not include Bai Jiaquan, who is walking at the back.

In a privately built house, most of the land is used for living rooms, and the corridors are very narrow, so they speak very loudly. The voices in front are getting more and more excited, louder and louder; Bai Jiaquan walked slower and slower, and the distance between him and his colleagues became farther and farther away.

Since the accident at the age of twelve, he has grown accustomed to this distance, and he has gradually become accustomed to this silence.

Yes, silence.

Silence is not his will, but speaking is the torment that life has given him.

Every time you say a word, the pain in your throat is only secondary, and this pain will pass after you endure it. But what is even more bitter is the unconcealable disgust or cautious sympathy of the listeners every time they say a word.

Disgusted that he doesn't care, sympathized with him doesn't need. What he was really sad about was the cold indifference behind the disgust and sympathy.

This kind of indifference is aimed at his characteristic, a very special, very profound characteristic.

He seems to have no gender, no age, no identity, no good or bad.

"It's just a mute."

When such a sentence becomes a collection of all the attributes of a person.

Who can understand what kind of cruelty it contains?

Bai Jiaquan understood.

More than ten years of life have made him understand that no matter what he does; No matter how you do it; No matter what value he creates; It doesn't matter what kind of abilities he has; Others simply don't remember, and they don't pay attention at all.

The only impression he can leave on others is: "Just a mute." ”

It's like "blind", "lame", "deaf", "crazy", and even "drug addicts" and "prisoners through labor".

This sentence seems to be completely enough to negate all his efforts.

Too many times.

It's so much that it's hard to count.

So, after more than ten years of bitterness and pain, he is no longer resentful and no longer feels wronged.

Revenge in general, he also learned to be indifferent to dullness.

But just when he almost forgot what attention, affirmation, equality was, when he almost had to admit that he was indeed "a dumb person".

More than two months ago, a phone call called him to the talent market.

There, at the moment when he shook hands with Wu Xiaoyu, Bai Jiaquan didn't notice that 1A7489 stretched out his cold right hand to deliberately test him.

It's not that he's sluggish to that extent, it's because he's agitated.

Bai Jiaquan was agitated by the fact that after speaking for the first time, he could still get a look of sadness and pity from the eyes of others without the slightest surprise, disgust, sympathy, and even the sadness and pity in the eyes of his parents, a look that he would never forget.

Through Wu Xiaoyu's eyes, 1A7489's eyes have always been very fair, and he will never cast emotions on any monkey. ---- even if it's a disabled monkey.

There are no words to describe Bai Jiaquan's gratitude for this.

He didn't hear how much salary Wu Xiaoyu offered him, so he immediately nodded vigorously without hesitation.

Then, he came to the barbecue galaxy and became a kitchen clerk.

Kitchen chores are a very dirty and tiring job, Bai Jiaquan regards it as very precious, he is not afraid of losing his job again, but afraid of losing his rare equal eyes.

After years of silence, he did not know how to express his gratitude, he would only do, and he would only have the greatest enthusiasm and effort for his work.

In order to wash the vegetables, Bai Jiaquan specially bought a small brush the size of a finger to brush away the dirt in the cracks of potatoes and other foods;

In order to clean the bowl, Bai Jiaquan couldn't remember how many times he washed it, and every time the water in the basin changed the same color as the water flowing out of the water pipe, so he refused to give up;

In order to bring ......

As in the past, some people saw his efforts, some people didn't pay attention to them at all, and everyone's opinion of him was still "just a dumb person". Unlike in the past, Bai Jiaquan did not get discouraged and lazy this time.

Because of prejudice, no one paid attention, and every night when he closed, Bai Jiaquan's hands and feet would immediately become much sluggish, and the action of washing dishes would immediately become much slower.

The sound of the door closing seemed to make him stupid all at once. In a huge basin, Bai Jiaquan only knew how to put down three or four small bowls, and then brush a few small bowls back and forth, carefully, and slowly several times, and then he knew how to wring out a thin stream of water from the faucet and let time flow slowly.

He didn't do this because he wanted to learn the barbecue techniques that Wu Xiaoyu had taught Li Hui, although those things that sounded easy would be drilled into his brain whether he wanted to or not.

He tried his best to stay in the kitchen and procrastinate, and what he really waited for was only a few words that Wu Xiaoyu occasionally said to him, and occasionally cast a few glances.

Whenever that happens, he feels happy. ---- is almost all the joy of every day, the meager pleasure.

Bai Jiaquan knew that his state was very abnormal, but after more than ten years of grievances and cold eyes for more than ten years, once he suddenly realized that he was facing equality, he was like an addiction, and he couldn't get rid of the feeling that deep in his heart, the desire to be "a normal person" could be satisfied.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa"

Zhao Jiuke, who was walking in the front, pushed up the sliding gate, and the clerks rushed in, "going out to play together" gave obvious motivation, and everyone cleaned up the store quickly at a speed far beyond usual.

Bai Jiaquan walked into the kitchen, frowning and staring at the basin with dirty dishes and chopsticks. Due to the early closing, only half of the usual dishes and chopsticks were placed in the basin, and he was a little worried.

With so few dishes and chopsticks, and such an early end time, I'm afraid I won't have much time today.

Thinking like this, in the kitchen, Bai Jiaquan's movements were even slower, and after grinding for about ten minutes, he suddenly heard the noise outside a lot quieter.

A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Jiaquan's mouth, and after more than two months, he knew very well that this situation was generally because of who mentioned the word "boss".

It's normal to be afraid of the boss, but to this extent, Bai Jiaquan, who has changed many places to work, is the first time I've seen it.

Sure enough, Li Hui's voice was faintly heard outside, which should be announcing what the boss had just told him.

Bai Jiaquan didn't listen carefully, if it was related to him, Li Hui would naturally tell him, if it had nothing to do with him, then why should he care?

Not long after, there was a sudden burst of cheers outside, which did not stop for a long time. After a while, Li Hui walked into the kitchen and said to him: "Bai Jiaquan, the boss just told me that everyone has worked hard recently, and the business in the store is very good, and each person will be paid a hundred yuan." ”

It turned out that everyone was happy about this matter. Bai Jiaquan was also a little happy in his heart, although a hundred yuan was not a lot, but this was an extra income every month, which was completely different from the reward.

Li Hui also smiled and groaned, and after he was happy for a while, he said, "The boss asked me to ask you, do you want to learn barbecue?" ”

I? Learn to barbecue? Bai Jiaquan's hands that were rubbing the dishes trembled slightly.

Li Hui continued: "The boss plans to open a branch in the near future, and he said that you work very hard, and you should learn barbecue very quickly, see if you are interested in learning." ”

"I ...... Think...... Learn. When these words were spoken, Bai Jiaquan's voice was even hoarser than usual.

Not everyone is blind to his efforts.

Not everyone thinks he's just "a dumb man."

Bai Jiaquan thought so, he didn't look up, he wiped the plate harder and harder, and faintly, there seemed to be some water droplets falling into the basin, rippling small ripples.

……

Wu Xiaoyu himself couldn't figure out the decision to open a branch, although the barbecue restaurant could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, Wu Xiaoyu didn't think that 1A7489 needed to open a few more such shops to make money.

With that kind of work, he believes that 1A7489 must be more willing to force himself to add a few more words to the manuscript, from the supernatural science fiction magazine for 5 stars and stripes per word, anyway, now he has to receive more than 200,000 yuan from there every month, and I believe that Linde Baier doesn't care about more.

"Yes, we don't need the income from the barbecue. But we have to raise money for a real observatory that will be built in a few months' time, soon. ”

Observatory? Wu Xiaoyu has read a lot of astronomical books, and knows that the cost of that thing is generally more than tens of millions of stars and stripes, and the "real" observatory required by 1A7489 is afraid that it will cost dozens of times the money, does he plan to replace all the stores in Star City with barbecue restaurants?

"Idiot, where do we have so much time? A dozen more barbecue restaurants were opened, just to legitimize the source of the currency. ”

There is a colloquial saying about legalizing the origin of money---- money laundering.

Closely associated with this word, it is often not something that makes people feel so happy.

Where does the money come from? Wu Xiaoyu trembled slightly, he wanted to know how 1A7489 planned to get the money, but he didn't get an answer for several minutes.

Many people use many industries to launder money, but there are very few barbecue restaurants to accomplish this purpose.

And before the black money is completely settled, the money laundering project is prepared first, and I am afraid that this is the only one in the world.
