When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.
When a social event reaches its peak and is about to be destroyed, many strange phenomena will inevitably occur.
These strange and strange things are the flashbacks before death.
Zhuang Shikai and Mei Mei stepped out of the sports car and walked into Yunlai Tea House hand in hand.
Rose was dressed in a black dress, with a Western-style black veil on her head, covering half of her pretty face.
She put down the black leather bag in her hand and waved gently to the boss. The boss in a mandarin jacket quickly stood up and approached the two of them.
"Miss, what do you want?"
The teahouse owner bent down and lowered his head, holding a small white notebook in his hand. While holding the pen, he also smiled at Zhuang Shikai.
Zhuang Shikai was wearing a black suit, sitting opposite Rose with a comfortable expression, and smiled at his boss.
The two of them were sitting in the corner of the teahouse, where they could see not only the street scene downstairs, but also the faces of all living beings in the teahouse.
"It's the same as usual."
"A pot of jasmine tea."
Zhuang Shikai and Mei Mei were both frequent visitors to Yunlai Teahouse. Both the guests and the boss knew their status, and no one dared to offend these two.
Rose will also put 10,000 yuan in the teahouse every month as prepaid expenses.
The two of them usually leave after eating, so there is no need to pay the bill.
This table has also been reserved for them...whether they come or not, the table is reserved for them.
So far, no one has dared to compete with them, just like the advance payment of 10,000 yuan has never been spent.
Of course, the down payment doesn’t need to be spent.
Regardless of whether the money is spent or not, Rose will send her men another 10,000 yuan next month.
And this is the life of a big shot.
"Okay, Miss." The boss paused, and then asked: "Mr. Zhuang, Miss."
"Our restaurant has newly launched shark's fin rice and abalone porridge. Are you two interested in trying them?"
The teahouse owner already knows the appetites of the two big patrons.
When Zhuang Shikai comes alone, he will order a pot of Tieguanyin to go with tea.
If you come with Miss Rose, you will let Miss Rose order first.
Miss Rose likes to alternate between jasmine tea and chrysanthemum tea.
As for their appetite for refreshments, the two of them were pretty much the same.
For example, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, etc. will be ordered.
However, one person may order four different tea snacks when dining, and ten tea snacks may be ordered when two people are dining.
Therefore, the restaurant owner would ask Miss Rose first when ordering.
The "same old thing" Miss Rose said didn't mean just ordering a pot of tea, but clearly stating what kind of tea you wanted. The refreshments were still the same, as long as ten portions were served.
As for "Shark's Fin Rice" and "Abalone Porridge", they are new dishes recently launched by the restaurant.
The teahouse owner knew that the two were wealthy owners, so he asked the two big bosses if they wanted to try something new.
Moreover, the tea house knows how to be a good person. After finishing speaking, he specially added: "Zhuang Sheng."
"If you are interested, I will ask the kitchen to send you these two dishes right away."
Although shark fin rice and abalone porridge are staple foods, there are soup bowls on the dining table.
Zhuang Shikai and Rose are also exclusive dining bowls.
The waiter only served them when the two of them parked their cars.
Just put a little bit into a soup bowl and eat a few spoonfuls, and you can roughly taste the taste and know whether you like it or not.
To be honest, the restaurant owner is quite confident about these two new dishes.
I feel that given time, it will definitely become a famous snack in Hong Kong Island like shrimp dumplings and chicken feet.
Zhuang Shikai was not interested in "shark fin" and "abalone".
Without him, I would eat too much.
What's more, the various top-notch ways to eat are not as good as eating them for dinner? Is the porridge delicious?
However, he was very interested in these two dishes. He took his chopsticks and asked: "Boss, why did you think of making such a new dish?"
The boss had a simple and honest expression and said with a smile: "Everyone has made a fortune from stock trading recently. Many people come to the teahouse to eat, so be sure to order expensive things."
“Later, a customer paid for the abalone to be added to the porridge and the shark fin to be mixed with the rice, so we followed the customer’s instructions.”
"Unexpectedly, after the two dishes were launched, they were well received. Now one portion costs more than 300, and all 200 portions are sold out every day."
More than three hundred is the monthly income of a professional person with a serious job.
But the teahouse can only hold one bowl of rice? A bowl of porridge?
Can they all be sold out?
When did Hong Kong Islanders become so rich?
Zhuang Shikai looked at the seat next to him and saw that there were many more women and workers in the teahouse where only businessmen were seated before. The tea house has become more market-oriented and down-to-earth.
These women and workers love to order shark fin rice and abalone porridge.
Even many fish egg stalls along the streets have been changed into "abalone bibimbap" stalls.
Zhuang Shikai knew that this was the result of the stock market.
The citizens felt that they were rich.
Unknowingly, I started spending too much.
But what does it mean to be rich? The banknotes in your hand are money! House prices rising as the market rises? share price? It’s just numbers that can’t be cashed out!
But these numbers allowed them to create a strange food like "shark fin rice". I wonder if thinking of this dish is vomiting blood.
Zhuang Shikai knew that "Shark's Fin Fishing for Rice" would definitely be passed down, just like Japan's "medieval shops", it would become a scar from one era to another.
I wonder if the next time Hong Kong Island’s property market takes off, when Hong Kong residents eat shark fin for rice, will they think of the crazy scene in 1973?
You know, back then, Tokyo housing prices were said to be enough to buy the entire United States...
Depend on! Where is this year? It’s obviously the future! When the Plaza Accord is signed in 1985, you can go to the Japanese stock market to make a lot of money!
"never mind."
"I'm not interested in eating abalone for rice."
"Thank you."
In the end, Zhuang Shikai shook his head and rejected the boss's suggestion of giving away two dishes.
After all, he is a profiteer in the stock market. As a profiteer, there is always something wrong with tasting the food born out of madness and destruction.
"Understood, Zhuang Sheng." The teahouse owner nodded, turned and left.
No matter what the big boss said, he would just do it. After all, when selling food, you still have to respect the taste of the customers, and there is no reason to forcefully serve it.
At this time, a pretender wearing sunglasses and a black trench coat walked up to the teahouse, lifted up the trench coat with a loud bang, then put the trench coat on the back of the chair and sat down on the chair.
"Boss, give me a pot of tea first!" Xiao Ma, who had just debuted, took out his lighter, choked, and opened the lid.
Then, he burned a NT$500 Hong Kong note with a lighter, then took a cigarette and lit the cigarette in his mouth with the Hong Kong note.
This is the "Big Bull Lighting Cigarette" that young people like most nowadays. It is simply the Hong Kong version of "The Will-O-Wisp Boy". It is a pretentious move for young boys to block shots, and it is extremely lethal to young girls.
"Okay! Come right away!" the boss responded, while Xiao Ma was dancing with money in one hand and delicious cigarettes in the other, with pride written all over his young and immature face.
"Pounce on the street! It turns out that Xiao Ma's signature move is just a cigarette lit by a great man left over from this era."
"But the Hong Kong dollar must be upgraded to the US dollar in the future!"
Zhuang Shikai was of course the first to notice Ma Ge's daily charisma when he appeared.
It's a pity that at this time, Xiao Ma Ge is still a Y3 type character. Basically, he is the kind of newcomer who just dropped out of school and plans to join the society.
Tsk, newcomers love to show off so much, no wonder they will become bosses in the future.
No wonder he was taught a lesson...
Pretending to be realistic is not a good habit.
When Zhuang Shikai thought of this, he had no intention of looking for Xiao Ma or taking him back to the police station. Because this kind of young man has not yet come into his own and has no black material, there is absolutely no value in arresting him.
He simply wanted to teach young people a lesson, letting them know that people can't pretend to be cool, and sometimes pretending to be cool will offend the wrong people.
He raised his right hand and shouted downstairs in a calm tone: "Boss! I'll invite everyone to tea today!"
Zhuang Shikai's voice is not loud.
It was extremely loud in the entire teahouse.
Brother Ma's eyes widened and the cigarette in his mouth fell on the table.
Then, not wanting to lose face, he quickly picked up the cigarette and tried to hold the cigarette holder again, pretending that nothing happened.
But what he threw into his mouth was a sparking cigarette butt.
The successor of Daniel’s cigarette lighting, the founder of reverse smoking, and Brother Xiaoma were born!
