Baodan couldn't help it and pulled his mother's hand and shook it, "Mom, I want to eat meat."
As soon as he came in, he smelled the strong aroma of meat, and saw two losers sitting by the window eating meat with big mouthfuls. This made him so jealous that he almost ran over to grab some. But when he saw the villain sitting at the table, he immediately remembered the time he was beaten up before, and when he thought of the pain in his butt, he didn't dare to do it anymore.
"Okay, eat meat." Baodan's mother came here because of her son's making a fuss. If she didn't give him food, the child would probably make trouble again.
"Eat braised pork" He saw two money-losing guys eating braised pork.
How expensive is braised pork? When we came here, we agreed to stir-fry a dish with meat. Why did this kid change his mind when he got there?
"Son, let's just eat meat dishes and rice, okay?" Baodan's mother looked at her son helplessly and tried to communicate with him.
"No, I have to eat the braised pork. If these two losers can eat it, why can't I?" The willful boy couldn't help but speak out his true feelings in a hurry. Fortunately, he knew not to use his fingers, otherwise Gulan would have another chance to deal with them. Gulan was worried that she would not have the chance.
Frightened, Baodan's mother quickly covered her son's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Then she carefully glanced at the person eating by the window. How could the couple not see these two money-losing goods? Just like Baodan, she was very afraid of Gulan. Being beaten was fine, but if she wasn't careful and got blackmailed for money, the thought of that was scary, so she pretended not to see it. But she dare not provoke this evil star again.
"I want to eat braised pork. If you don't give it to me, I won't support you in your old age." Baodan was also scared and glanced at the people by the window, but he still couldn't change his decision to eat braised pork. Moreover, he knew what his parents were most afraid of. Every time he said this, his parents would compromise.
These words made the shop owner who had been waiting couldn't help but frown. This kid must be spoiled to no end to be able to say such words. But it was none of his business. He just had to wait.
Zhao Gang felt embarrassed to have outsiders around and couldn't help but rebuke his son and glare at him. When Zhao Gang really got angry, Baodan was still afraid. He hid beside his mother in fear, but still said that he wanted to eat roast pork.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You'll scare the child." Baodan's mother immediately became unhappy and glared at her man.
Shopkeeper: "…" No wonder.
"Braised pork," Baodan glanced at his father and insisted.
"Okay, okay, mom will ask." Baodan's mother agreed helplessly.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have braised pork here?" Baodan's mother signaled to the shop owner with her eyes.
It's a pity that people open a shop to make money, so why would they push away the opportunity to make money? The shop owner naturally pretends not to see it.
"Yes, yes, yes," he replied with a smile.
Baodan Niang: "…"
There was nothing she could do if she pretended not to see him. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and immediately asked, "How much is one serving?"
"One hundred and fifty coins"
"So expensive?" Baodan's mother frowned.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive anymore. Meat is only a few dozen coins per pound now. This is just hard-earned money, and the taste is guaranteed to be satisfactory."
Seeing that his mother thought the product was too expensive, Baodan began to get angry. As soon as his mother refused, he would use his special skills and roll around and throw a tantrum.
One hundred and fifty cents could buy enough food for a long time, and Baodan's mother was really reluctant to give it up, even though she had just earned some money not long ago. But seeing that her son was unwilling and was about to make a scene again, Baodan's mother finally compromised. So she said, "Shopkeeper, we only want half a portion, is that ok?"
This time the owner didn't say no and nodded. In the past, it was not uncommon for people to just order half a portion, after all, eating meat was really a luxury.
"Okay, then we'll have half the portion, a bowl of rice, and five steamed buns." Baodan's mother gritted her teeth and said, then followed the owner's lead to the other side farthest from Gulan. Baodan was satisfied with the meat, and happily sat down with his parents.
Although it was called a half portion, it was actually not a small amount. Baodan's mother and Zhao Gang used the bowls they brought to take away half of it, and Baodan finished the rest by himself, one piece each. He even ate up all the soup mixed with rice. The couple each had a steamed bun dipped in the sauce.
While eating, Baodan deliberately made a loud noise, but unfortunately Daya and Erya pretended not to see it and didn't even glance over. Such a childish trick. In the past, whenever they ate something good, Baodan would come and do it. They were indeed envious before, but now there is nothing to envy when looking at the meat in the bowl.
"Baodan" Zhao Gang tapped his son with chopsticks. How could he not know about his son's problem? But he was unhappy with his two daughters who were indifferent. They didn't go, but the two girls actually treated them as if they didn't exist. They didn't even glance at them. They really raised them for several years in vain. He glanced coldly at the two girls.
There was originally only half a portion of braised pork, and another half was taken away. Although they came late, the food was served much faster than Gulan's side. When it came time to pay, Baodan's mother felt really bad. The food was delicious, but more than eighty copper coins were gone in an instant, and these copper coins could buy a lot of things. After paying the bill and holding the steamed buns and half a bowl of meat, the family of three was about to leave when a figure rushed out from the lobby. Seeing Baodan who was about to go out, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Xiao Hai, it's my Xiao Hai!" The running figure stopped instantly, pointing at Baodan and shouting in surprise, then was about to hug Baodan, but was stopped by Baodan's mother, who pushed him back, while the other hand was still holding the bowl steadily.
"Who are you and what do you want to do? Why do you recognize someone randomly?" Baodan's mother pulled her son behind her, looked at the woman warily, and said unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," an old lady who followed quickly apologized and supported the person who almost fell.
Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly stepped out from the counter and said, "I'm sorry, my daughter has been traumatized and her mind is a little unclear. I'm really sorry, so I won't charge you for the buns." He then handed the five-cent coin to Baodan's mother.
"Hurry up and take Lan'er back." He said to his wife at the same time.
Baodan's mother quickly took the copper coin. She thought that if she could save five cents, why not take it?
But she still insisted, "You're not thinking straight. You almost scared my son."
The shop owner smiled bitterly and could only continue to apologize. Lan'er did almost scare the other person's son, so it was normal for her to choke. But how could they dare to let Lan'er out casually? Ever since her husband and child got into trouble, Lan'er's mind has often been unclear. She would hold any child who even slightly resembles her husband and say it's her son, and would mistake a young man for her husband. The owner felt very sad when he thought about this.
"Forget it, I won't bother with her." After getting the money and seeing that the owner was apologizing sincerely, Baodan's mother rarely took advantage of the situation and quickly pulled her son out of the restaurant. She was mainly afraid that this crazy woman would do something unexpected, so it was better for them to leave quickly.
"Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai" Seeing the precious child being taken away, the woman called Lan'er by the shop owner was unwilling and struggled violently in her mother's arms. If the shop owner had not quickly pulled her back, Lan'er would have broken free and rushed out. The shop owner and his wife kept calling out "Lan'er" and their eyes were red with sadness.
