Of course, the piece of steak in front of Bruce was not a complete steak, but some trimmings, but the meat quality was quite good, and it looked like the kind of good beef that rich people often eat.
What was served next surprised Bruce even more. There was a basin of clam chowder, two oysters, two large sandwiches, and even a small piece of cake.
Selena rubbed her hands and said, "Everything on the West Coast is good, but the food is not that good. The food at home is the best..."
After saying that, she picked up the fork, picked up a piece of beef, and put it directly into her mouth.
Seeing how deliciously she chewed, Bruce felt that he was also hungry. He picked up the knife and fork and cut off a small piece of steak. After putting it into his mouth, the rich soup and rich fat exploded in his mouth, and the refreshing aroma made him
Bruce felt intoxicated.
This solved a doubt he had always had, that is, when he took Catwoman to a high-end restaurant for the first time, Catwoman didn't show too much surprise when she ate the extremely expensive steak.
Today, the situation has changed, and Bruce feels that he must have failed to control his facial expression, because now Selina is looking at him with a snicker.
Selena smiled and said, "You don't think that we all eat swill in the slums, do you? That's not the case!"
"Gotham is very rich. We have known this for a long time. Although the civilians are not very rich, as long as the rich people have money, we can also drink some soup." Selina shrugged and then continued to explain.
road:
"Because the restaurant is doing well, has a lot of customers, and uses a lot of ingredients, the price they order for the ingredients is cheaper. Therefore, the boss is less concerned about the loss of ingredients, and the people who work in the restaurant's kitchen are basically from the East District.
"
"The boss turns a blind eye. The chefs and helpers in the back kitchen will pick up the leftovers. However, because there are so many high-spending people, there are many dishes cooked every day and there are too many leftovers. The chefs and helpers can't finish them all."
, they will sell it.”
"Of course, how can the offcuts be compared with those main dishes? The price will be much cheaper. The steaks you see are all leftovers from high-end restaurants. Do you remember that when we went to those restaurants to order, we only had
I know how to order the best parts of the cow, but with so much meat in a cow, there will always be some left over."
"Also, some dishes use the best parts of the cow, but only the most essential part is used, and the edges are chopped into smaller pieces. This is what you eat. Although the quality is very good, because
It’s too broken and can’t be sold at a high price.”
Bruce lowered his head and looked at his plate. Selina was right. The beef on the plate basically no longer needed to be divided with a knife. It was as if it had already been cut. This kind of ground beef would not be cut into pieces.
Served at any South Side restaurant.
"Also, these seafood are all frozen. They are usually stolen by some cold chain transportation drivers. These things have transportation losses to begin with, so it doesn't matter if they report more. That's why everyone in the cold chain transportation is rushing to do it.
The reason is that it is the easiest way for them to make extra money.”
"Also, these vegetables you see are usually used for presentation. Guests in high-end restaurants do not eat these. When the chef is clearing the plates, they will keep them and sell them."
….
Selena looked out the window of the restaurant, pursed her lips and said, "Don't look at how busy it is outside. The ingredients they use are not as good as what we eat now. Many shop owners will choose to mince some not so good meat to make it."
For meat patties, adding more sauce can cover up the smell. It’s probably because you ate this meat that you got diarrhea.”
"Of course, this kind of restaurant with good ingredients requires connections and is also relatively expensive. Normally I can only come here once a month, but I just came back today and it was a celebration."
While listening to Selena's words, Bruce kept putting beef into his mouth. It had been a long time since he had eaten something so delicious.
Selena sipped her food and said, "I think you may think that these people in the slums are too stupid. Don't we know that the wealthy people exploit us every day? In this case, why can't we take more
point?"
"Thank you for their high consumption." Selena clasped her hands and said, "I wish they would waste more every day. It is best to only take one bite of the steak, and the rice and flour bags are all infested with worms. Oh, this is not the case.
If you pray, even if the rice bags and flour bags are not infested with worms, the warehouse manager will let them get worms. Anyway, they are not short of this little food... ·
While Bruce was eating, he thought that if it were in the past, he would definitely reprimand Selina for saying this, because it was stealing and illegal.
Selina reached out and stroked Bruce's injured face and said: "You are a bit too worried, dear, you think you are too smart and we are too stupid, but in fact, people are very adaptable.
of."
"I was born here and grew up here. I never thought there was anything wrong with it. You don't have to come here as an isolated person to experience it for a month and feel that we are very pitiful. We are not pitiful at all.
We're doing pretty well."
"But those..." Bruce paused and said, "Those who are lying in the basement waiting to die, who can only rely on cigarettes to relieve pain..."
"There are people like this everywhere, and pain is fair to everyone." Selina lowered her eyes, looked at her plate and said, "If you go to the best hospital in Gotham, you can see it too.
A bunch of rich people who have maxed out their morphine analgesics, aren't they also waiting to die?"
"It is true that our medical conditions are not good. Many people can be rescued in wealthy areas and many injuries can be cured. However, if they are all cured, there will be no vacancies and there will be no vacancies for healthy people.
Are you going to starve to death?"
Bruce was speechless. Selina looked at him and said: "The people of Gotham are short-lived, either in accidents or in fires. But the more people die, the more opportunities there are for others. You replaced the ones who died."
Ex, you may die too, everyone knows this."
"You think of yourself as too strong, and of us as too fragile." Selena's eyelashes glowed golden under the dim light, which fascinated Bruce. He heard Selena sigh with emotion.
The tone said:
"Death is not scary to us. It is the destiny of everyone. From birth to growing up, we have seen too many deaths. Therefore, we are stronger than you rich people. We don't like it.
We cry in front of the hospital bed, and the person lying on the hospital bed doesn’t like to hear us cry.”….
"If you have this time, why not go play for a while or drink some wine? I know. You think this is too frivolous and you don't live seriously at all." Selena picked up the wine glass and put it to her mouth and said:
"But actually, we also feel that you are living a little too seriously, too seriously."
Selina wiped the wine from her mouth, looked at Bruce and said, "Actually, I don't want to mention this, but have you noticed that in the East District, it is normal to have no parents."
"Not only is it normal, it is even very lucky. If you open your eyes after you are born and find that you were thrown into a house with your biological parents missing, then you should quickly thank God.·
Although Bruce has adapted a lot, he still felt ridiculous when he heard Selina say this. Selina looked at his expression and smiled and said: "I know you are surprised, but what I said is
fact."
"First of all, if you don't have parents, it means that no one will abuse you, no one will exploit you to make money, no one will sell you to a dirty place..."
"If you are in a house instead of on the side of the road or in a trash can, it proves that your parents should still be sane. As long as you can persist until others find out, you will generally not die."
"And if you are also sane, you are extremely lucky, because it proves that you did not inherit drug or alcohol addiction from your parents, and you will not become an addict when you are born..."
Selina stretched out her hand, shrugged, and said, "Sometimes, I would rather I didn't have a mother, so that I don't have to go out to work and buy cat food for her on rainy days."
Bruce sat silently on the chair, Selina reached out and touched his face and said: "Sweetheart, it has been more than ten years. Even if you are rich and can make you sad all the time, you don't have to do anything, but
If you continue like this, you will only miss more."
"You think I didn't do anything?" Bruce asked.
Selina opened her mouth, hesitated, and then showed an embarrassed expression.
Expression, said: "Well... not really, you should have done something, such as... uh... at least, you wrote a lot of papers?"
"I mean Batman," Bruce stared at Selina. Selina looked away, but Bruce persisted. Selina sighed and said, "Actually, I don't even know what Batman is doing.
..."
"As far as I know, apart from walking with me, you just stood on the roof and watched the scenery...Ah, wait! You did something after all! You installed a lot of cameras and dug into the mountains in the suburbs.
I made a hole and successfully made myself unable to finish my thesis..."
Seeing Bruce's expression getting worse and worse, Selina immediately turned her smart little head and added: "...Ah! Wait a minute! I remembered! Chief Gordon told me that the central turntable
That traffic light was modified from your bat light. It’s really bright. It scares me every night..."
"Well, and..." Selena's eyes moved faster and faster, but she still thought for more than a minute before she said: "Some time ago, the newspaper published your news, and someone paid a high price for your photos.
, if there are no photos, whereabouts information will do..."
Bruce's eyes became more and more evil. Selina shrank her neck and said, "...Okay, I was actually a little tempted, but I knew you would definitely be angry, so I didn't do it."
"Oh, don't discuss this. If you finish eating, let's go for a walk?" Selina started acting coquettishly again, because he knew that Bruce must be angry.
But who would have thought that Bruce would ask:
"How much does it cost to sell my whereabouts?"
"Well..." Selena hesitated and said, "Five dollars for a message..."
"How many???!
