Chapter 9 The Wall Ladder

 Waiting for the lunch break, Director Lian reluctantly went out with Chu Heng. The experienced old man even brought Chu Heng’s empty lunch box with him.

At this time, when eating in a restaurant, waste is not allowed. If you finish eating, you must take it away. If anyone dares to leave something behind, the salesperson will dare to call you an ancestor.

On the way, even the old man smoked and muttered: "I don't know if there is Yong Tau Foo today. I ate it once when I went back. The taste was so amazing that I can't forget it for half a month."

But the result disappointed him. Yong Tau Fu was not available, but spicy tofu was sold.

However, Chu Heng thought it was too vegetarian and ordered several meat dishes in one go.

"Pork slices, dry-roasted yellow croaker, braised shrimps, shredded chicken skin, two dumplings, and two beers."

Director Lian on the other side felt his heart pounding when he heard this. He looked at him several times and winked at him repeatedly, not to let him make excuses.

Chu Heng turned a blind eye, because he still disliked those with less style.

The waiter who ordered them was also looking at them sideways. It was the first time she saw the two of them ordering so many things, but she didn't mind her own business. She neatly wrote down a few dishes in a notebook and spread them out to them.

Tender little hands: "A total of eight and a half yuan, a pound and a half of fine grain stamps, and five taels of meat stamps."

Chu Heng took out the money to pay without changing his expression, and was speechless in his heart.

His monthly salary is only forty-five yuan. If he didn’t have any outside money, he really wouldn’t be able to afford to go out to restaurants a few times!

Good guy, one meal costs one-fifth of the salary!

After the waiter left, Director Lian, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally said, "I said you are having a hard time?"

"It's rare to treat you to a meal, so I shouldn't be extravagant." Chu Heng smiled and put the money bills back into his shoulder bag, and took out a cigarette to scatter.

"I wish I had known you were the one to entertain me, I wouldn't have brought you anything!" Even though it wasn't his money, Director Lian still felt heartbroken.

He originally thought that this meal was just a meal of dumplings, or two similar dishes, but he didn't expect that this guy only came here for expensive ones.

Originally he wanted to invite him back, but now he decided not to do it because he really couldn't afford it.

The serving speed of the restaurant is really slow. The two of them have been sitting here for more than ten minutes, and not only have not a single dish been served, not even the beer has been served.

Chu Heng didn't dare to rush others yet, fearing that he would be scolded if he did so.

Do you think it’s okay to hold your breath or not? Spending money to eat depends on the person’s face.

I'm going to turn over the table now!

After the two of them sat there chatting dryly for about twenty minutes, the waiter finally brought the food.

Even the director stopped nagging this time. He threw away his chopsticks and started eating. His mouth was never idle. He took one bite of dumplings and one bite of vegetables. He choked and drank a sip of beer to smooth it over. Then he continued eating, as if he was about to go to war.

Chu Heng was a little reserved at first, but when he saw this posture, he didn't dare to pretend, so he quickly followed and grabbed the food.

In the end, all the food on the plate was wiped out by these two people, and even the soup was dipped in dumplings and eaten by Director Lian.

"No, hold on." The greasy-mouthed old man grumbled and touched his belly, feeling quite satisfied. He had not eaten such a sumptuous meal in two years.

Chu Heng also ate to the point where his throat was filled with food. It wasn't that he was hopeless, it was because of the atmosphere here. People around him were devouring their food. It seemed that he also had a huge appetite and couldn't control it for a while.

The two of them sat there for a while to rest and calm down their stomachs. When they saw that the waiter looked at them with a somewhat unkind look, as if he was coming to chase them away, they quickly packed up their things and left.

It's too shameful to be chased out of a restaurant, so it's better to take the initiative.

The two men held their stomachs and walked back with unsteady steps.

When he arrived at the entrance of the grain store, Chu Heng waved his hand: "You go back first, I'll go to the grocery store to buy something to eat while I'm at it."

"Bring me a pack of cigarettes." Director Lian took out the money from his body, and thinking of the meal he just had, he added: "Bring me a pack yourself."

"Forget it, we men don't care about that. Besides, I'm drawing at the front door. Do you have a ticket?" Chu Heng joked with a smile, took out eight cents from his hand, and continued to hold it in his belly.

Go forward.

"This little prodigal son." Director Lian shook his head helplessly and muttered as he walked into the house: "I'll have to ask the old lady to introduce him to a partner and take care of the housekeeping for him. If he continues to be so lavish, his wife will have to be married in the future.

Can’t marry.”

Chu Heng waited for a long time before finally arriving at the grocery store.

Surprisingly, the person who received him was the same awesome and coaxing salesperson from yesterday.

The two of them looked at each other, and neither looked pleased with the other.

Chu Heng glanced around the room and saw that everyone else was busy, so he had no choice but to say: "One box of production, two large front doors, three kilograms of toffee, five bottles of canned peaches and orange cans, two bottles of Daqu wine, Red Star

Two bottles of wine, two bottles of Jingzhi wine, and five canned meats if you have them..."

Every time he said a word, the salesperson started to pick on his face, and in the end he started to slap him. He thought that Chu Heng was making fun of him.

Otherwise, it’s not the New Year or the festival, so why buy these old things?

After Chu Heng finished talking about what he wanted to buy, the salesperson didn't move. He took the abacus and did some calculations, then stared at him with two dead fish eyes: "A total of eighty-six yuan and thirty-four cents, give me the money and the ticket first.

"

He had already thought about it. If he couldn't get the money, he would have to go up and have a fight!

But what Chu Heng did next made the salesperson disappointed and dumbfounded.

I saw him slowly taking out the money and tickets from his bag, handing them into the salesperson's hands without any problems, and then he lit a cigarette and stood at the counter waiting.

The salesperson's face turned into pig liver. He angrily collected the money slip, turned around to get the goods for him, and whispered in his mouth: "This bastard is really rich."

Chu Heng listened to every word, which made him confused.

I just bought something. How did I offend you?

He didn't say anything nice, but he cursed me so damn hard!

However, he did not get angry because of this. This was someone else's territory. It was pointless to quarrel. He would definitely not be able to fight. It was better to wait until it fell into his hands later.

I can’t believe that this grandson’s family doesn’t eat food!

This time Chu Heng waited longer, and it took half an hour before he got what he wanted.

It's not that there are so many things that it's hard to find them, but that my grandson is working as a foreigner, chatting with people while he's not looking for goods!

Chu Heng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He packed the things in the prepared cloth bag, turned around and left the grocery store.

When passing through the alley, he threw his things into the warehouse space and left a handful of fruit candies in his satchel.

When he returned to the grain store, he took out some candies and said, "I just bought some fruit candies. Let's all try them. It's sweet."

He didn't give too much, just two or three pills to each person, which made the people in the store very happy. It was rare to eat this kind of thing.

"I said, Xiao Chu, it's such a bad year, why are you buying candy?" Sun Mei didn't want to eat it, so she secretly stuffed the candy into her pocket, preparing to take it back to the kids at home.

It doesn't matter if it's not divided enough, just smash it into pieces. If it doesn't work, just lick it and he will taste it.

Ni Yinghong got the candy and stuffed it into her mouth, and carefully folded the beautiful candy wrapper and put it away. The sweet taste made her irritable mood much better, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, showing two charming faces.

dimple.

Luo Yang, who was watching on the side, was drooling.

"I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. I can buy whatever I want." Chu Heng leaned against the cabinet with a smile and asked Sun Mei seemingly casually: "Aunt Sun, do you have enough food at home? I still have it.

I have a bit of surplus, so I can’t get you more.”

Today he was giving out sweets and caring about his colleagues, so naturally he had his own little plan.

Didn’t Luo Yang take the upper-class route?

Then he can unite the people at the bottom and he may be able to use it at some point.

When Sun Mei heard his inquiry, her slightly faded gratitude surged over again, and she quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, no one has a hard time, so I can't trouble you anymore. I don't have much to say."

Food stamps will be distributed tomorrow, so just hold on and it will pass."
