Chapter 793: Deadly Joke (20)
Of course, the piece in front of Bruce was not a complete steak, but some leftovers, but in terms of meat quality, it was quite good, and at first glance it was the kind of good beef that rich people often eat.
To Bruce's surprise, there was a pot of clam soup, two oysters, two large sandwiches, and even a small piece of cake.
Selena rubbed her hands together and said, "Everything is good on the West Coast, but the food is not good, and the food at home is the best......
After saying that, she picked up a fork, forked a piece of beef, and put it directly into her mouth.
Seeing that she chewed deliciously, Bruce felt hungry too, he picked up a knife and fork and cut a small piece of steak, and after putting it in his mouth, the rich soup and rich fat burst in his mouth, and the refreshing aroma made Bruce feel intoxicated.
This solved one of his long-standing doubts, that is, the first time he took Catwoman to a fancy restaurant, Catwoman didn't show too much surprise when she ate the extremely expensive steak.
And today the feng shui is turning, and Bruce feels that he must not have controlled his facial expressions well, because now Selena is snickering at him.
Selena smiled and said, "You don't think we're all eating swill in the slums, are you? Not really!"
"Gotham is very rich, we have known this for a long time, although the commoners are not very rich, but as long as the rich people are rich, we can also drink some soup." Selena shrugged her shoulders and then explained:
"Because the restaurant has a good business, a large number of customers, and a lot of ingredients, the price of the raw materials they order is cheap, so the boss is not very worried about the loss of materials, and the people who work in the back kitchen of the restaurant are basically from the East District."
"The boss turned a blind eye, and the chefs and helpers in the back kitchen would pick up the leftovers, but because there were many high-spending people and the dishes I cooked every day, I couldn't finish the cooks and helpers, so they would sell them."
"Of course, how can the leftovers compare to those main dishes? The price will be much cheaper, and the steaks you see are leftovers from high-end restaurants, do you remember, when we go to those restaurants and order, we only order the best parts of the cow, but a cow has so much meat, there will always be some leftovers."
"Also, some dishes use the best parts of the beef, but only the most essential piece is used, and the sides are cut into pieces, and this is what you eat, although the quality is very good, but because it is too broken, it can't be sold at a high price."
Bruce looked down at his plate, Selena was right, the beef on the plate basically no longer needs to be cut with a knife, as if it has been cut, this kind of ground beef will not be served in any restaurant in the South District.
"There are also these seafood, all of which are frozen, which are generally stolen by some cold chain transport drivers, and this thing has transportation losses, and it is nothing to report more, which is why everyone rushes to do it in the cold chain drivers, and it is easiest for them to make extra money."
"Also, these vegetables you see are usually used for plating, and those high-end restaurant customers don't eat them, and when the kitchen cleans up the plates, they will keep them and sell them as well." ….
Selena looked out the window of the restaurant and said, "Don't look at the excitement outside, the ingredients they use are not as good as what we eat now, many shop owners will choose to chop some not very good meat to make meatloaf, and add more sauce to cover up the peculiar smell, you should have eaten these meats, so you have diarrhea."
"Of course, this kind of restaurant with good ingredients, in addition to the need for access, is also relatively expensive, usually I can only come to eat once a month, but when I came back today, I should celebrate."
Bruce listened to Selena as he kept putting the beef in his mouth, he hadn't eaten anything so delicious in a long time.
Selena took a small bite to eat, and she said, "I think you may be thinking stupid of these people in the slums, don't we know that those people are exploiting us every day? In that case, why can't we take more?"
"Thank you for their high spending." Selena folded her hands and said, "I wish they were wasting a little more every day, and it's better to have only one bite of the steak, and the rice bags and noodle bags are all wormed, oh, no
With a prayer, even if the rice bag and noodle bag do not have worms, the storekeeper will let them have worms, and they are not short of this grain anyway...... ·
Bruce thought as he ate his meal, if it had been before, he would have rebuked Selena for saying this, because it was stealing and breaking the law.
Selena reached out and stroked Bruce's injured face and said, "You're a little too worried, dear, you're thinking too smart about yourself and too stupid about us, but in fact, people are very adaptable."
"I was born and raised here, and I never thought it was anything bad, you don't have to come here as an isolated person for a month and feel that we are very pitiful, we are not pitiful at all, we are doing well."
"But those ......," Bruce said after a pause, "those who lie in the basement waiting to die, and can only be relieved by pumping ***......
"There are such people everywhere, and the pain is fair to all." Selena lowered her eyes, looked at her plate and said, "If you go to the best hospital in Gotham, you can also see a bunch of rich people who have adjusted the morphine analgesic dosage to the maximum, aren't they also waiting to die?"
"It's true that our medical conditions are not good, many people can be rescued when they are put in rich areas, and many injuries can be cured, but if they are all cured, there are no vacancies in jobs, and healthy people will not starve to death?"
Bruce was speechless, and Selena looked at him and said, "Gotham people have short lives, either by accident or by fire, but the more you die, the more opportunities others have, and if you replace your dead ex, you can die too, everyone knows that."
"You think of yourself too strongly, and you think of us too vulnerable." Selena's eyelashes glowed golden in the faint light, which fascinated Bruce a little, and he heard Selena say in an emotional tone:
"Death is not terrible for us, it is the established destiny of everyone, from birth to adulthood, we have seen too much death, so. We're stronger than you rich people, and we don't like to cry in front of our beds, and the people in our beds don't like to hear us cry." ….
"If you have this time, you might as well go play and have some drinks, I know. You think it's too frivolous, and you don't take your life seriously at all." Selena picked up her glass, put it to her lips and said, "But actually, we also think that you are living a little too seriously, too seriously."
Selena wiped the wine from her lips, looked at Bruce and said, "Actually, I don't want to mention this, but have you noticed that in the East End, it's normal to have no parents?"
"Not only is it normal, but even lucky, if you open your eyes at birth and find that you have been thrown in a house and your biological parents are missing, then you should thank God quickly.
Even though Bruce had gotten used to it, he felt ridiculous when he heard Selena say this, Selena looked at his expression and smiled and said, "I knew you were surprised, but I was telling the truth."
"First of all, if you don't have parents, it means that no one will abuse you, no one will squeeze you to make money, no one will sell you to a dirty place......
"If you're in a house, not on the side of the road or in a garbage can, then it proves that your parents should still be in their sanity, and as long as you can hold on until others find out, you generally won't die."
"And if you are also sane, then you are simply very lucky, because it proves that you did not inherit the drug or alcohol addiction of your parents, and you will not be born an addict......
Selina stretched out her hand, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Sometimes, I'd rather I didn't have a mother so I wouldn't have to go out to work on a rainy day to buy cat food for her."
Bruce sat silently in his chair, Selena reached out and touched his face and said, "Sweetheart, it's been more than ten years, even if you are rich enough to make you sad all the time and don't have to do anything, but if you go on like this, you will only miss more."
"Do you think I didn't do anything?" Bruce asked.
Selina opened her mouth for a moment, stopped talking, and then showed an embarrassment
expression, saying, "Hmm...... Not really, you should have done something anyway, such as ...... Belch...... At least, you've written a lot of papers?"
"I mean Batman," Bruce stared at Selena, Selena looked away, but Bruce didn't give up, Selena sighed and said, "Actually, I don't even know what Batman is doing......
"As far as I know, in addition to walking with me, you are standing on the roof of the building and watching the scenery...... Ah, wait! You've done something about it! You've installed a bunch of cameras, dug a hole in the mountains on the outskirts, and managed to make yourself unable to finish your paper......
Seeing Bruce's face getting worse and worse, Selena immediately turned her clever little brain and made up for it, "...... Yes! Wait a minute! I remember! Sheriff Gordon told me that the traffic light on the center turntable, which was modified by your bat light, is really bright, and every night, I have to be scared by it......
"Well, there's still ......" Selena's eyes turned faster and faster, but she still thought for more than a minute before she spoke: "Some time ago, the newspaper published your news, and someone charged you a high price for your photo, if you don't have a photo, the whereabouts of the news ......is fine."
Bruce's eyes became more and more unkind, and Selena shrank back and said, "...... Okay, I'm actually a little tempted, but I know you're going to be angry, so I didn't do it."
"Oh, don't talk about it, if you're done eating, let's go for a walk?" Selena started to be coquettish again, because he knew that Bruce must be angry.
But who knows, Bruce opened his mouth and asked:
"How much does my whereabouts sell?"
"Hmm......" Selena hesitated and said, "$5 for a message......
"How much???!
