The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2069 Text
Chapter 2005
One evening around nine o'clock, I called my family via an app and talked about some things.

I heard from my family that I will go back to the south of the small country in early August this year. This time I go there, I want to stay at a few friends' homes for a while, talk to them, and after adapting to the environment there, I will return to the small city where I have my own house. In the small place, she has her own home, which is a two-story villa. The total practical area of ​​the interior is only more than 100 square meters. The exterior of the villa is OK, but the usable area inside is not much. The house is not big, but there is a small courtyard and a circle of grassy open space where you can park your car. There are many two- and three-story small buildings like that on the street. There are few apartments in that area, but there are many small buildings. Some villas have an indoor area of ​​several hundred square meters, which is equal to the area of ​​regular villas, but the houses there have certain courtyards, outdoor kitchens and dining rooms, and can barbecue and cook outdoors. Two years ago, she also completed the expansion and decoration of the first floor of the house, and added a room on the side of the first floor, bought a wall-mounted TV and solid wood tables and chairs, and used it as an office. During the expansion and renovation, some doors were replaced and added. Some of the doors were made of solid wood and cost several thousand yuan. The decoration also had to be of high quality. It took a long time to complete, and a total of 10,000 foreign currency was spent. The decoration price there is also quite expensive, and the cost of manpower and material resources is not low. One of her dreams is to have a garden villa with a swimming pool in the wealthy area of ​​the capital of that country. If the garden area of ​​the house is hundreds or thousands of square meters, such a house may be worth about one million foreign currency, which is already a luxury house there. I heard that many people she knows have villas or apartments in the capital of that country, and they are considered to be from relatively well-off families. The price of houses in big cities is much higher than that in small places. For example, the house she has in a small place, even with the expansion and decoration, and with furniture, may only be worth 80,000 or 90,000 foreign currency. If you are in a hurry to sell it, you may only be able to sell it for 60,000 or 70,000 foreign currency or even lower. The specific price depends on the willingness of the buyer. If you find that the house is good, you may be willing to spend more money to make the property have a higher transaction amount, rather than selling it at a very low price. Because she still wants to work and live there, she wants to keep the house. She wanted to sell it two years ago for about 50,000 foreign currency, but she made some money as a purchasing agent. She didn't sell the house, but built a new room. She spent a lot of money to use it as an office for inviting buyers to discuss business. She also wants to expand the second floor to expand the area. It will cost more money, but she needs to have a lot of money in her account. I heard that she will stay there for a shorter time this time. Some plans will have to be seen in the future. As for whether to renovate the house, it will be a matter for the future.

After making the phone call that day, I went out to throw away the garbage. I felt that the summer night was much hotter than the day, so I walked out of the community, took a simple stroll, walked around the familiar places, and then went to the Northern Restaurant for a midnight snack.

I heard that in the summer, the chef of that restaurant will work until about 11 o'clock at night. Before that, you can order dishes and barbecue in the store.

Looking at a large table in the store, there were many young people drinking. They were talking about work. Some people felt that their careers were good, while others felt that their careers were not going well. It was not because of their own problems, but because of the environment they were in. It can be seen that some people felt that they could live in a big city and earn more money to spend on their families in their hometowns. They were quite satisfied with the environment they were in. If they could get a raise, it would be great. If not, they would like to continue working in the local area. They felt that everything was more formal. Big cities have their advantages. Some people complained about themselves and said that they had not received the subsidies they should have received. If they did not perform well, they would be fined. It was not a big deal. However, the managers were so serious. They thought that the monthly salary of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan was too low. They had land in their hometowns and could earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. If they could not make much money in the local area, they wanted to go back to farming. The basic cost of living was much lower. Some people's mobile phones rang, saying that it was the red envelopes that arrived. Others received coupons and said that they did not need to keep accounts. There was software that automatically recorded the consumption. When necessary, they could just check it. It was very worry-free. The people at that table talked a lot while drinking and ordered more food and wine, which showed that they had a sufficient budget. There were a few other tables of customers in the restaurant, but not as many as the big table. There were two or three customers at other tables, some of whom were talking and some were silent.

I arrived at the cashier counter of the restaurant. There was a male waiter on duty. Without thinking much, I ordered braised pork elbow and rice. He said the pork elbow should be fat. This time I wanted to eat simply, just to be full. I didn't want any stir-fried dishes or cold dishes, which would also help to spread out the budget. Because it's hot in the summer, I also ordered cold iced black tea from the refrigerator. The store has air conditioning to reduce the heat. There was a wide plastic box at the front desk with edamame soaked in salt water. I thought I could take it for free, but the male waiter said it was 15 yuan per plate, so I didn't want it. The male waiter was not bad. He told me to take a little. He didn't want to pay this time. He put some on a small plate and asked me to take it away so I could try it.

There is a long table at the entrance of the store, and occasionally a few free plates of food are placed on it, including cherry tomatoes and snacks. Sometimes there are plates, and sometimes not, it depends on the store's arrangements.

After sitting in the chair for a while, the dishes were served quite quickly. There were a lot of braised pork elbows in the restaurant. They were taken out of the big pot, placed on a big plate, and added with some soup. Sometimes, when I went to that restaurant after 2 pm, the chef had already finished get off work and had to go home to rest for a while. Before 5 pm, he would come to the restaurant to work again until about 11 pm. During the off-peak period, there was no chef on duty in the kitchen, and other dishes could not be ordered, but braised pork elbows and braised pork bones, as well as rice, were available. A male store owner or other people would go to the kitchen to serve the dishes. The restaurant was not open all day, and the employees were allowed to go back to their homes nearby to rest for a few hours in the afternoon, and closed late at night. Many stores on that barbecue street kept their lights on even at 11 or 12 pm until the customers left and the business ended. The next day, they would open at 10 or 11 am, the same time as the restaurants on other streets, and the business seemed to be good.

At that time, I ate most of the pork elbow in sauce, finished the whole bowl of rice, and drank half a bottle of cold beverage. I also ate the small dish of edamame, peeled the skin of the edamame, and ate the beans inside. The taste was okay. The salted edamame in that restaurant was 15 yuan per small plate, which was not expensive. Some restaurants sell the same side dish for 30 or 40 yuan, and the quantity may not be much. Edamame and soybeans are the same plant. Unripe soybeans are edamame. If they are picked, they can be cooked with pods and seasonings as a tasty snack. Ripe soybeans can be made into soy milk and tofu. Soaking soybeans in water can also make them germinate and become soybean sprouts.

Most of the important tasks for the day have been completed, so I am not in a hurry. I went out for a walk and had a midnight snack. I heard some customers in the store wanted more beer, and some people wanted more after drinking a lot. In the summer, some restaurants will extend their closing time, so at 11 or 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, there are still many barbecue restaurants with lights on.

After having a midnight snack, I took out my phone and wrote a simple plot. I didn’t want to leave right after eating, so I went to the restaurant to cool down because there was air conditioning.

I packed up the food and the remaining drinks, waiting to have them as my second midnight snack. The remaining pork elbow skin and some broth were put in the box in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. They will freeze after a while. I also put the remaining drinks in the refrigerator to keep them cool. When I went to the cashier to pay, I said that the dish of edamame was free, and the male shopkeeper said it was okay and there was no charge.

After leaving, the guests at other tables also left after finishing their meals, and some customers didn't want the leftover dishes. Some customers didn't care. I have seen many times in some restaurants that some customers left half of the table's dishes and didn't pack anything. Some ordered a big plate of chicken, but maybe it didn't taste good, so they only ate a few pieces and didn't want the whole plate of dishes. I saw the waiter take it away and didn't pour it directly into the recycling cart. The author has eaten hundreds of buffets in his life, and almost no waiter has said that there are leftovers, which did not affect the refund of the deposit. I remember once in a 100-yuan buffet restaurant, there were five or six plates of food left on a table, but the customers at that table were gone. The female manager of the restaurant asked the waiter to check and asked if the two customers had left? It was a man and a woman. The total amount of food left on that table was too much, which did not meet the standard for refunding the deposit. At that time, the lunch stall in the store had ended, and many waiters and chefs went to eat on the side, so they neglected management. The waiter had to sign the bill, and the customer's leftover food could not be too much before the deposit could be refunded. The two people probably couldn't use the extra food they took, and seeing that no one was watching them, they just left, thinking that the store didn't care. I was still eating nearby, and I went a little later, so I still had half an hour to eat, and I would try to use up the food. After the meal, I didn't see the customers from that table come back, they just couldn't eat so much, but they had to take more, and then took advantage of the lax management of the store and ran away. Some people usually leave things and waste food, which is normal, thinking that no one will know, and they think it is not a bad thing, but long-term waste and squandering is to consume their own blessings and blessings. It is right to cherish food and not waste it. In the same world, as human beings, there are still many people in poverty and refugee status in foreign countries. Let alone wasting food, it is already very good if some can eat enough and not lack basic nutrition.

I saw a young man wearing glasses being carried away by several men who were traveling with him. He was so drunk that he could hardly walk on his own. He just walked out of the store and started vomiting all over the street. There was a sink in the store, but he didn't use it and vomited on the street. Some people didn't know how to clean up and just left. It's not easy for sanitation workers to clean the streets.

It was already past 11pm that day, but many of the barbecue restaurants on the summer night street still had customers in them, and there were also many deliverymen in work clothes picking up food from the stores. Some people stayed up late and would order barbecue and fried food, which would be delivered, so there would be no trouble of cooking, and there would be regular arrangements.

The high-speed, fast and fully covered service has really benefited many people. If problems arise, they can be actively faced and resolved, and there are reasonable rules and regulations.
