41. A meal of dumplings

Bai Gu raised his head and looked at the dumpling restaurant in front of him, his throat rolled unconsciously, and a memory that was not too old came to mind.

Last winter, Bai Gu and the old beggar, who had been hungry for two or three days, squatted under the old locust tree, rubbing their hands together to keep warm, and their minds were full of thinking about where to get food.

But, if you don't have money in your pocket and no work in your hands, what can you do?

A penny is hard to beat a hero.

After thinking for a while, the old beggar asked Bai Gu to wait under the tree, and he had a way.

After waiting for a while, Bai Gu thought that the old beggar would not come back, but the guy braved the wind and snow and came back dancing.

With a copper plate.

Then the old beggar took Bai Gu to a restaurant, asked him to wait at the door, and went into the restaurant to buy food.

It's just that after a while, the old beggar was scolded by the shopkeeper and kicked out.

The old beggar stood at the door and took a sip, scolding the shopkeeper that he was really not a thing, and he didn't know how to respect the old man, and he opened the door to do business......

I just didn't dare to say it too loudly, and the words were blown away by the wind while they were still in my mouth.

Bai Gu, who was watching on the side, couldn't help laughing.

The old beggar walked over, kicked Bai Gu's buttocks, scolded the stinky boy, and then took out a small paper bag from his arms, took out a steaming dumpling and threw it into his mouth, and gave the whole small paper bag to Bai Gu.

There are also two dumplings in the small paper bag.

"One is yours, and the other is for the tiny." The old beggar chewed the hot dumplings in his mouth, and his teeth were so hot that he grinned, but he was still reluctant to swallow them, and continued to chew them in his mouth.

Bai Gu held the small paper bag and was speechless for a while.

He has seen the menu of dumpling restaurants, and even the cheapest pork and cabbage-stuffed dumplings cost six copper plates and one tael. The old beggar can only afford one dumpling at most for a copper plate, so how did he make these three dumplings?

I think it took a lot of tongues to get rid of the old face, right?

When Bai Gu thought of this, his heart became even more uncomfortable.

The old beggar didn't pay attention to the strange look on Bai Gu's face, but just urged him to hurry back and don't let the snacks be cold dumplings.

Bai Gu had no choice but to get up and go home.

He only remembered that it was very snowy that day, and the dumplings were very hot and delicious.

The dumpling restaurant at that time was the one in front of Bai Gu now.

Wu Lao saw the gloom on Bai Gu's face and patted him on the shoulder, "It's a happy thing to eat dumplings, don't be sad." The teenager is a few years old, smile a lot, those troubles, at least don't think about it when you eat. ”

Bai Gu nodded.

There are two major things in life, eating and sleeping.

If a person is not happy to even do these two things, then Bai Gu really can't think of any meaning in this life.

Soon the dumplings were served.

There are four plates of dumplings.

They are all dumplings filled with beef and green onions.

Wu Lao smiled and said, "One plate is enough for me, and the other three plates are yours." The old guy said that you eat a lot and eat a lot, so order more. ”

Bai Gu looked at the three plates of dumplings in front of him, each plate was full of four taels. He was a little helpless, "It's true, but the old guy's original words shouldn't be so good, right?" ”

Wu Lao smiled.

That is, indeed.

The old beggar's words are indeed very straightforward.

"That stinky boy is a rice bucket, eating is like taking a bowl and pouring it into a bucket of swill, eating so much and fast! I've never seen him really fed, like a starving ghost reincarnated! ”

Wu Lao first handed Bai Gu a pair of chopsticks, and then picked up the chopsticks himself, "Eat quickly, the dumplings won't taste good when they're cold." ”

Bai Gu smiled and began to move his chopsticks.

When the dumpling skin was bitten in his mouth, and the meat filling and juice burst out in his mouth, Bai Gu once again realized why this restaurant was not big, but it was the number one dumpling restaurant in the city, and there were not many repeat customers.

The beef filling is full of juice and slightly grainy. The flavor of green onions and beef complement each other, and the more you eat it, the more fragrant it becomes, and you can still eat the crispy feeling of green onions when you chew it!

Delicious!

Bai Gu took several dumplings in a row, stuffed them into his mouth in one go, and chewed them full.

This is called eating, this is called satisfaction!

Bai Gu glanced at Wu Lao, who was picking up a dumpling, putting it in his mouth, chewing it carefully and slowly, chewing it for a while before swallowing it, seeing that Bai Gu was a little speechless in his heart.

Isn't it tiring to chew so much, isn't it too troublesome? I'm afraid that everyone else is full, and the rice in their bowl may not be missing a few grains of rice, is this still called eating?

So...... Sven's way of eating, Bai Gu really can't appreciate it.

But Wu Lao is an elderly person after all, and his teeth are not good, so it is understandable to chew a few more times.

Understandable.

Bai Gu pulled a few more dumplings and stuffed them into his mouth, and ate with his mouth full of oil.

Bai Gu called these two ways of eating the rich and the poor eating respectively.

Rich people have money and leisure, and the variety of meals they eat is many and good, and they need to taste it carefully and taste it slowly. What you want is a regular manner, and even gnawing on chicken legs requires that there should be no oil on the corners of your mouth, so you will naturally eat slowly and eat for a long time.

As for the poor, they have to work hard every day for life, race against time, the simpler the better, the cheaper the better, the pursuit of cost-effective and fast. It's not very good-looking, gobbling it up, there's no way, it's in a hurry.

At this point, Bai Gu and the old beggar are like-minded, and they both feel that the rich man's eating method is too contrived, and he even has to take care of what he eats, and there are too many rules, and he is uncomfortable eating a meal.

The poor eat very well, free and happy, they can eat whatever they want, they can eat how they want, and no one can control it.

How nice!

And this is also in line with the daily eating method of more people, which is right!

"Those guys are not people, they have to act like they have to eat, who are they pretending to be! It's disgusting! It is a waste to feed this kind of people with the food that thousands of farmers have worked so hard to grow, and it is better to feed the dogs than to feed them! The rich people just leave there and waste food, talk and laugh, do the poor deserve to work hungry? This world is so unfair! ”

The old beggar once squatted on the side of the road, hungry, and complained to Bai Gu, who had also been hungry for several days, and the latter strongly agreed.

As soon as Bai Gu put a few more dumplings into his mouth, he heard a burst of scolding from behind.

Bai Gu turned his head to look with his cheeks puffed out, and saw the tall shopkeeper pulling a person's collar and scolding: "Okay, you stinky cow nose, you actually want to eat white food?" What do you think of this place? Last time, I was already considered the kindness of our shopkeeper to spare you, and this time you come again, see that I don't break your leg! ”

"Oops, boy! Hero! Don't be like this, don't be like this, the public will have a bad impact. In this way, the poor road will give you a hexagram for the restaurant, take advantage of the fortune, is it okay to get the money for this dumpling? ”

"Hmph, you stinky bull's nose is really shameless! Your hexagram is only worth a few dollars, so do you deserve it? Hurry up and pay back the money, or your leg will be broken! ”

"Ahh......h

“……”

The people around me were pointing and whispering, all just as a joke.

Bai Gu hurriedly turned his head back and continued to eat dumplings as if nothing had happened.

Wu Lao glanced at it, then asked with a smile, "Know?" ”

Bai Gu shrugged, "I haven't seen it, I'm just curious to take a look." ”

At this moment, I heard the man suddenly shout, "Don't worry, don't worry!" That little brother has a lifelong friendship with Poor Dao, and he can pay Poor Dao for dumplings! ”
