Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 182 Sweet and Bitter Buns

The dinner table fell silent, and before long, it was the man's turn to serve the dishes.

The two of them ordered a stewed egg and three steamed buns, which didn't seem like much at first, but when they sat with the ginger fish, which each had two dishes, it seemed shabby.

The woman was fine. She calmly picked up a steamed bun, broke it in half, and put the egg stew in it as filling.

She handed the steamed bun stuffed with eggs to the man opposite her and said, "Eat it."

The man took it with a grim expression, his eyes turned to Jiangyu's fried pork with sauerkraut, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say.

The woman broke open another steamed bun, this time putting much less egg in it. She put down her chopsticks, took a bite of the steamed bun, and then chewed it with great satisfaction.

Jiang Yu thought that she didn't even eat the egg filling, so she just took a bite of the corn bun. Why did she look like she was eating some divine delicacy?

"Comrade, can you finish all these dishes by yourself?" The man held it in for a long time, but finally asked.

Jiang Yu looked up and stared at the man with a problem in his brain. "What do you mean?"

The man's expression was a little awkward, but the next second, he straightened his back and spoke with a righteous look, "Aren't you afraid that you, a female comrade, won't be able to finish it and waste it? You women have such big appetites, just like Cuifen, she can't even finish a steamed bun."

Jiang Yu glanced at the choking woman and thought that the Cuifen who the man was talking about who couldn't finish a steamed bun was her. Can't finish it? Haha.

"You say I'm wasteful? Who do you think you are? Have you seen me eat or have you seen me waste food? You open your mouth and ask, how big is your appetite? You women... What? Just because you're a man, you can eat as much as a pig? The woman sitting opposite you can't even finish a steamed bun. She saw that you looked so pitiful like a starving ghost, so she saved the food from her own mouth for you!" Jiang Yu was not polite at all. He slammed the chopsticks on the table and cursed back bluntly.

People at the nearby tables heard the noise and looked over. They all worked in the same factory, and soon someone recognized who the man who was being scolded was.

The man was furious. He thought he was just asking with good intentions, but he didn't expect the other party to scold him directly. He stood up in a flash, pointed his finger at Jiang Yu and cursed, "You stinky bitch, who the hell are you talking about, the reincarnation of a starving ghost?!"

Jiang Yu looked at the man's fingers with some disdain, but the other party's pointing really made her feel unlucky, so she couldn't help it. She stretched out her hand and pried the man's fingers and bent them in the opposite direction.

The man immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Now everyone in the hotel looked over.

The waiter and the chef in the kitchen rushed out holding rolling pins, "What are you doing? What are you doing? That jerk is so reckless that he came to my restaurant to cause trouble?"

"Let go! You swordsman!" The man screamed, and did not forget to blame Jiang Yu for causing trouble. "It's all because of this crazy woman. I just asked her a question out of kindness, worried that she would waste food..."

Jiang Yu glanced at the dining table behind him, turned around, and kicked the man to the ground beside him, "What bad luck! I'm eating my own meal, why do you need to take advantage of me? Don't you want to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, thinking that your partner saving half a steamed bun is not enough, and want to steal my food! Dream on, idiot, if you want to eat, buy it yourself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them took another look at the food on their table and understood immediately.

This is because I saw others eating meat and I became greedy!

"Oh my, I've really learned something new. Wang Jiangang, you make 43 yuan a month, but why can't you even give your girlfriend a piece of meat? You have to ask for other people's food, how shameful!"

"Yes, yes! We are already talking about marriage, we can't be so stingy."

"You can't beg for food from strangers for no reason. You're slapping our steel plant in the face. People who don't know would think that our company's profits are not good and we can't even pay our employees' salaries. You're so poor that you can't even afford meat and vegetables! You can't do this!"

The words of the onlookers were like knives, stabbing into the man lying on the ground. The man didn't even dare to raise his head and just ran away crawling away.

His girlfriend was left alone, sitting at the dinner table stupidly, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

Jiang Yu snorted, looked at the waiter, and stretched out his hand. His palm was dark. "Can I wash my hands? I haven't finished my meal yet."

"Wash! I'll take you to wash!" The waiter nodded in agreement.

The chef also curled his lips, looked at the blushing woman next to him and said, "You have to be careful when looking for a man! You can't look for a man who makes you feel sorry for him. You have to look for a man who knows how to feel sorry for you. Otherwise, you look at it. You are fine now. You just need to go hungry for one meal, but you will be hungry for the rest of your life in the future. Do you understand?"

The woman was so moved by these words that she started to cry. She said nothing, but just lowered her head, took another bite of the steamed bun, and swallowed it down with her tears.

After Jiang Yu came back, the woman had already brought the steamed bun that she had just given to the man. She carefully tore off the dough that was stained by the engine oil, and took a big bite of the bun filled with stuffing.

It was eggs fried with bean paste. The combination of bean flavor and egg flavor was so delicious that she wiped away tears again.

The people at the nearby tables sighed when they saw this.

After a while, an aunt came over with a small bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of the woman, "Drink some soup and eat slowly. Don't choke."

The woman quickly swallowed the bun and thanked him. She sniffed, suppressed her inner grievances and smiled at the other person.

The aunt patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Everyone has made mistakes when they were young. We just need to keep our eyes open and look carefully in the future."

"Yes." The woman nodded heavily, glanced at Jiang Yu who was eating in silence, and apologized quietly, "I didn't know he would say that. I'm sorry."

Jiang Yu was eating meat, her mood had already recovered. She looked at the woman and shook her head, "You don't need to apologize. What's your relationship with him?"

Yeah, what does it matter?

The woman finally came to her senses. She threw away the burden in her heart and smiled calmly, "Yes, it was that guy who made the mistake. Why should I apologize for him?"

Jiang Yu looked at her approvingly and continued to eat.

After she had almost finished the food on her plate, she raised her hand to signal the waiter, "Sister, help me cook some noodles!"

"Got it!" The waiter was so delighted by the word "sister" that he quickly agreed and whispered to the chef inside to put some bok choy in.

"I know, I know. Just take care of your business." The chef waved his hands, picked up a clean pot, added water, and started cooking noodles.
