Li Yaowen and I chose a small restaurant not far from the school and sat down. As soon as we entered, the hostess greeted us warmly and showed us the menu. Li Yaowen asked me what I wanted to eat and asked me to order. After looking around, I thought that the dishes here are so expensive, and the cheapest fried shredded potatoes and fried vegetables cost four yuan a piece. Eating a single dish here is enough for me to live on for a week. And how many potatoes and greens can you buy for four dollars? You must know that the potatoes on the set are sold for six cents a pound if they are good, and only four cents a pound if they are bad. This little green vegetable is available in every household, and no one buys a dime or a pound. It costs four dollars a piece!

No wonder my father said that the heart of opening a restaurant is black, and it is really black enough!

I looked around and ordered a fried shredded potato, and handed the menu to Li Yaowen.

"Gone?" Li Yaowen asked when he saw me handing him the menu.

I nodded and said, "One dish isn't enough?" My dad and I usually eat one dish. At the end, I leaned my head close to him and whispered, "This restaurant is so dark, a plate of shredded potatoes costs four yuan." I don't know how many potatoes to buy for four yuan! ”

Li Yaowen nodded mechanically after hearing this, and after his eyes swept around the menu, he shouted to the proprietress "A serving of sour and hot shredded potatoes, a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a serving of braised bream!" ”

"Okay!" The proprietress replied happily, took the menu card and went inside.

When I saw this, I asked him, "Do you know how much your own food costs?" Li Yaowen looked at me and shook his head. I said, "Four pieces of shredded potatoes and five pieces of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, that's nine dollars." The fish ...... "I stopped because I didn't look at the price of the dish below.

"Fifteen!" Li Yaowen replied for me.

I gasped and asked him, "Are you a loser?" Li Yaowen looked at me and shook his head, with a smile on his face. It's as if I'm talking about something funny.

"Nine dollars plus fifteen dollars, that's twenty-four dollars! You actually ate a month's worth of living expenses in one meal? I stared at Li Yaowen's incredulous words. You must know that the living expenses of Xing Jiaze and Xing Jiabai's families in front of them are only fifteen yuan a week. What is the concept of what he eats?

"Shh Li Yaowen put his finger to his mouth and told me to be quiet. Seeing me glaring at him, he said, "No way, rich and capricious!" ”

"Loser!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the shredded potatoes I ordered came up, followed by scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The proprietress served me and Li Yaowen a bowl of rice each, and also gave me two bowls of pork rib soup for free. But she said it was pork rib soup, but I didn't even see a single bone. If it weren't for the fact that the soup tasted like pork ribs, I wouldn't have known it was pork rib soup.

"The braised bream is here, you two eat slowly, and if you don't have enough food, you can serve it yourself!" After the proprietress brought the last dish, she said to me and Li Yaowen. We both nodded to her and said thank you.

But to be honest, although her food here is a little more expensive, it tastes really good. Although I often fry shredded potatoes myself, it is far from as delicious as this fried one. I don't know if it's any condiments I don't know, or if there are more condiments. Anyway, it's crisp and delicious, and not only that, but the knife skills are also better. Unlike when I cut it, my dad said it was potato sticks.

"Does it taste okay?" Li Yaowen raised his head and asked me. I nodded at him and replied, "Well, it's delicious, better than what I made!" ”

Li Yaowen smiled when he heard me say this, blinked his bright eyes, and said, "Really? Then one day there will be a chance to try your craft. ”

"Okay, one day I'll stir-fry the vegetables and bring them to the school for you to taste." I also laughed a little, and took his words and said cheerfully. Li Yaowen nodded and asked me to eat fish. I unceremoniously sandwiched a piece of fish, this fish is also good, it melts in the mouth, the soup is also very rich, and the taste is very good.

We ate for about half an hour, and after eating, Li Yaowen got up and went to check out. I fumbled into my pocket and only had three cents, and I couldn't help him share it.

After settling the bill, Li Yaowen beckoned me back to school. When I walked on the road, I always felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said to him, "That...... I only have a few dollars a week to live on, and I can't afford to ask you to eat such an expensive thing...... If you don't dislike it, I'm ......."

"Don't dislike it!" Li Yaowen suddenly interrupted me, stopped and looked at me, and said, "Didn't we just say that we would have a chance to try your craft in the future?" Li Yaowen looked at me, and I was stunned when I heard him say this. Did he take everything he said during the meal seriously?

"What's wrong?" Li Yaowen saw that I was stunned when he looked at him, so he shook his hand in front of my eyes. I shook my head embarrassedly, and walked forward with my head down.

Actually, there was a moment when my heartbeat suddenly missed a beat for some unknown reason. And I didn't want Li Yaowen to know about that moment, so I immediately lowered my head and hid the uneasiness in my heart.

Li Yaowen saw that I suddenly bowed my head and left, and I guess I was also confused. I only heard him shouting from behind, tell me to wait for him. But alas, I won't listen to him.
