At this time, the previous movie just ended and the crowd poured out.
Zhao Meng trotted forward, raised his lips, and began to hawk:
"Pumpkin seeds, soda, popcorn! They're all freshly baked today, so fragrant and crispy! Give your partner some sweet treats!"
"Give me a bottle of soda and a bag of sunflower seeds!"
At this time, a customer came forward and ordered two things.
"Okay! A bottle of soda and a bag of sunflower seeds! Ten cents total, keep it!"
Liu Meng packed the goods and collected the money in one go, his movements were smooth and fluid, and he looked like a skilled worker.
When he saw a delicate girl following the customer, he suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile,
"Brother, I have fried chicken and hamburgers here. Do you want some? Let your partner have a taste!"
This fried chicken burger is a new thing. It’s not enough to just stand there and shout, you have to accompany it with explanation. Liu Meng is very flexible in this regard.
"Fried chicken? Hamburgers? What is that?"
The customer and the young woman behind him both looked puzzled and asked in unison.
"That's it!"
Liu Meng took out a hamburger and a piece of fried chicken from the box as if presenting a treasure, and placed them in front of the customer.
"Smell this, is it fragrant or not? It's made with chicken and fine grains, the first of its kind in Kyoto!"
"It smells really good! But how much do you sell it for?" the girl asked curiously, blinking her eyes.
"A serving of fried chicken is 70 cents, a hamburger is 20 cents! A set is 90 cents, and a soda is included!" Liu Meng quoted the price with a smile.
"This is too expensive!" the woman almost exclaimed!
"This portion of fried chicken is enough to buy a pound of pork! And this hamburger is enough to buy three meat buns! No more, no more! We can't afford it..."
As she spoke, the woman pushed the man and walked forward, as if she was waiting for someone to rely on her.
However, the woman's exclamation attracted the attention of many people around, and they all looked towards Liu Meng.
"Brother, I just heard someone say 'hamburger', did you hear that?"
Erica came out of the cinema holding Frank Wayne's arm, and suddenly heard such a long-lost yet familiar word. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked expectantly.
"It seems to be this sound!" Wayne nodded and looked in the direction of the sound.
Liu Meng was feeling sorry that his first business deal fell through.
He carefully put the hamburger and fried chicken he had just taken out back into the box. When he looked up, he saw a man and a woman, two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners looking at him curiously.
"Would you two like to buy some sunflower seeds? Or some soda?"
Liu Meng knew that foreigners had to speak foreign languages, but how could he understand any foreign languages?
Thinking of something, he quickly took out melon seeds and soda from the box, shook them in front of the two of them, and then gestured with his hands.
"Do you have hamburgers here?" Wayne asked in English.
"What?"
Liu Meng tilted his ear and listened carefully to Wayne's pronunciation.
But English and Chinese are not like dialects and Mandarin. If you listen carefully, you can still understand some of the meaning.
Seeing that neither side could understand what the other meant, Liu Meng was so anxious that he scratched his head.
"This gentleman is asking if you have any hamburgers?"
At this moment, a clear female voice sounded, instantly breaking the deadlock between the three people.
"Ms. Gao! It's such a pleasure to see you here!"
When Wayne saw Gao Xinjie, his eyes lit up and his expression became lively.
"I really can meet you everywhere!"
Erica turned her head away, looking as if she really didn't want to see her, and muttered with a dark face.
"I wonder who these two are?"
Wayne glared at his sister, turned around and put on a smile again, pointing at Lan Guoer and Long Xiangling and asked.
"These two are my best friends! They are also my family! This is Lan Guoer, a student in the Medical Department of Peking University. This is Long Xiangling, a student in the Political Science and Law Department of Peking University."
After Gao Xinjie introduced their side, she introduced Lan Guoer and Long Xiangling.
"This is Mr. Frank Wayne, an exchange student from our Foreign Languages Department and my extracurricular oral English teacher.
This is Wayne's sister, Erica! She's also an exchange student at Kyoto University."
Lan Guoer nodded to Wayne and Erica.
She was not unfamiliar with the brother and sister, and after "eavesdropping" at the roast duck restaurant that day, she now understood the brother and sister better than even Gao Xinjie!
"Hey, guys! Excuse me! Do you still want these burgers?"
At this time, Liu Meng couldn't wait any longer! He was in a hurry to do business, but he couldn't afford to waste time with them here.
"Hamburgers? Do you really have hamburgers here?"
Erica screamed in excitement when she heard the word "hamburger" again!
But why was she so excited? Liu Meng was obviously confused! He looked at Gao Xinjie for help.
Just now, Gao Xinjie and Wayne brother and sister spoke English the whole time, which made him stunned and really admire them.
Gao Xinjie understood and translated for him, "This lady is asking you, do you really have hamburgers here?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
When Liu Meng heard that they were asking about hamburgers, he was so excited that he didn't dare to delay for a second and replied quickly!
After saying that, he remembered that the other party might not understand, so he nodded quickly.
Then he opened the box, took out a hamburger and fried chicken, spread them out on his palm and showed them to them.
Erica opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at the real hamburger in front of her, as if she had seen a long-lost relative, and her eyes gradually became moist.
How long has it been since she last ate this kind of food since she came to China?
Although hamburgers and fried chicken can only be considered fast food in the United States, they are still juicier than the food here!
It’s not that she hadn’t thought about making her own steak, but they went to all the food places and didn’t see even a piece of beef foam!
Based on the conversation between the brother and sister that day, Lan Guoer's reaction to Erica was not surprising.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, habits, diet, and even communication are all problems!
It's really sad to think that she is a delicate young lady who left her hometown and fell from being a daughter of a wealthy family to a situation where she can hardly even eat a hamburger!
As ordinary people with physical bodies, who hasn’t missed home sometimes, unless their six senses are pure?
"How many burgers and fried chicken do you have left?"
Lan Guoer looked at Liu Meng and asked.
Since they knew it was their first day selling this kind of food, they assumed that no one would bring much.
After all, this thing is not cheap in this era.
"Six! Six more of each!"
Liu Meng didn't know that Lan Guoer was the big boss behind him, he just had a premonition that his big business was coming!
At this moment, he didn't care whether Lan Guoer was Chinese or a foreigner, or whether she could understand his language. He stretched out his thumb and little finger and gestured in front of her!
"Alright! Wrap it up, I want them all!"
Lan Guoer waved her hand and said.
