Chapter 45: An Unexpected Breakfast
On Monday morning, I still walked downstairs to the office, and it took me about two hours to get to work.
I didn't feel hungry, I just wanted to go to work.
However, when I saw the steaming breakfast spot, I felt hungry. In particular, the smell of food is irresistible.
But I knew I didn't have any money, and I had to resist if I couldn't resist.
I tried not to look at it, but to get out of it as soon as possible.
"Mr. Da, Mr. Da!" Ah Fen suddenly ran from the tent at the breakfast order and called out to me.
"Mr. Da, let's have breakfast." As he spoke, he tugged at the sleeve of my shirt, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." She said.
I said, "Wait for me?" Why are you waiting for me? ”
She pulled her to the small table at the breakfast table and continued: "I said I would invite you to breakfast every day, but I didn't do it, you must think that I am unreliable, right?" ”
I thought so, because I remembered that she did say this when she invited me to breakfast that day, and I didn't see her in the past two days.
Although I thought so, I said, "No, I can't let you treat me to breakfast every day." ”
"It's not you who want me to invite you, it's my own promise to you! I'm sorry I didn't. She stared at me through the lenses of her gold-rimmed glasses, and said seriously.
"You don't have to be sorry, you have no reason to invite me to breakfast every day, and I can't wait for you to treat me to breakfast every day!" I pretended to be free-spirited.
"Yes, you didn't wait for me to ask, but what I said should count. I didn't do it, so of course I have to apologize. ”
I said, "No need. ”
She said, "But I didn't mean to, I'm not the kind of person whose words don't count, and you must forgive me." I took a leave of absence last Thursday and Friday and didn't come to work, so I can't ask you. I'll be waiting for you early this Monday morning. ”
"It's okay." I said, suddenly I felt that my previous little complaint was wrong, this Ah Fen is still a very serious person.
"Whatever you want to eat today, just order." She said, going to take off her glasses and putting them aside.
"Then ...... Let's still have cheong fun and soy milk. I said.
Anyway, I don't have any money, people invite me to eat, what else can I be picky about, I can eat whatever I want, I should be content.
"Ah, it's rice rolls and soy milk again? Let's change the trick. Why don't you try our local barbecued pork buns and lean pork porridge with preserved eggs today? ”
"It's okay, you can eat anything, I'm not particular about eating." I say.
She said: "If you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it, especially when you eat, you must be particular." He got up and ordered two barbecued pork buns and two preserved eggs and lean pork porridge, then turned around and said, "Last time you went to work on your first day, you let me delay your time and cause you to be late, sorry." ”
"Where, you're too polite." I say.
He looked at his watch and said, "There is still half an hour, let's hurry up and eat today, and promise not to be late!" She said.
As he spoke, the shopkeeper brought up two steaming baskets of small buns and two bowls of porridge.
Ah Fen said: "Try it, barbecued pork buns, see if it suits your taste." ”
The first time I ate barbecued pork buns, I felt that they were white and void, a bit like blooming cotton, which looked very good, but the taste was not very good.
Fortunately, the taste is not bad, but there is too little filling.
But the preserved egg lean porridge tastes good, piping hot, and a little green onion is sprinkled on it, fragrant, while blowing with your mouth, while sucking and eating slowly, I really enjoy it.
"How's it going, it tastes good, right?" She asked as she ate.
"Not bad, not bad." I said, "Especially this porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, it's really fragrant." ”
She said: "This is also a unique way of eating for our locals in southern Guangdong, you northerners eat white porridge, you may not be comfortable with it, right?" ”
"No, that's fine." I said, "Eat it too." ”
She said, "Eat, eat together." There are also many types of porridge, such as salted bone porridge, sweet potato porridge, intestinal porridge, green vegetable porridge, etc., all of which are freshly cooked, and the taste is fresh. Why don't I give you a different porridge to try? ”
"No, that's enough, next time." I say.
Ah Fen watched me eat with interest, and basically gave me her cage of barbecued pork buns, she seemed to have only eaten two of them, and she didn't even finish half of the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork.
She said, "Okay, hurry up and go back to work after eating, so that someone won't look at you again when you're late." ”
I said, "No, no one looks at me, it's all good." ”
She said: "No, look at Wang Wanting's face that day, it seems that we are her horses." Did she give you a look? ”
"No, it's me who is not good, I am late for the first day of work, it shouldn't be."
She said, "Even if she shouldn't be late, it's not her turn." She's a front desk lady, so why should she care about our planning department? It's really a dog meddling with a mouse. ”
I said, "After all, she recruited me, and it's not good for her to be late." ”
She said: "She's just in charge of reception, hire you, that's the president's final say, you don't have to accept her affection." ”
I said, "That's not right. If she didn't like me at first sight, she wouldn't have recommended me to the president, and I wouldn't have been hired, so I still have to thank her. ”
"She looks at you well? I also see that you are pleasing to the eye. A handsome guy like you, angular and heroic, that girl will not like you! ”
"Really? Am I heroic? ”
"Of course, a standard handsome guy like you, is simply a beauty killer."
"Then I'll have to hide from the beautiful woman in the future, I don't want to kill anyone."
"You can't hide, you can't hide, you're a handsome guy, there's no way. Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go back to work quickly. ”
When I returned to the office, Wang Wanting was already sitting behind a desk at the front desk, and when she saw me come in, she politely stood up to greet me.
I said, "I just finished breakfast, am I not late?" ”
She said, "No, I arrived five minutes early." ”
I asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
She said, "I've eaten it." Then he sat back in his place and said no more.
I was surprised that her attitude was a bit lukewarm, and after saying hello, she ignored me. I wanted to talk to her more, but I couldn't find a topic, so I went back to my office and started looking through all kinds of materials.
