Chapter 4 Order a Big Cake
Not to mention that the taxi driver was still feeling sad. Bai Tang had already walked all the way to a street near the community where many restaurants were located.
The small so-called food street was at its busiest at this moment. There were a lot of people talking and a variety of aromas wafting from the restaurants, making Bai Tang, who was already a little hungry, drool like crazy.
The roadside was full of illegally parked vehicles, some of which had been fined by the traffic police, but it did not affect the lively gatherings for meals. Under the dim street lights, Bai Tang strolled along the way and looked at them one by one.
"Hmm~ what to eat?"
"I want to eat delicious meat. I want to eat a lot of meat."
Bai Tang continued walking forward and stopped at the entrance of a restaurant with a green sign. The restaurant was quite large and bustling. The enthusiastic doorman greeted her, "Miss, would you like to eat? There is a seat for one person. Please come in."
Bai Tang was not someone who would easily refuse, and it just so happened that she wanted to come here to try the restaurant's specialties, so she followed the young man's request and was arranged to sit at a small table for two.
He picked up the menu and glanced at it. "One pound of stir-fried meat, half a pound of stir-fried lamb. Mix some gluten, a bowl of rice and a bowl of tea, thank you."
The young man looked at Bai Tang hesitantly. The girl in front of him looked young and pretty, but... "Girl, are you alone? You can't eat all this by yourself."
"It's okay. If you can't finish it, I'll pack it up and it won't be wasted. Just leave it like this. Thank you."
After hearing Bai Tang's words, the young man no longer hesitated. He shouted "Okay~" and turned around to order the dishes.
Bai Tang looked around the restaurant in her memory. It must have been renovated and it was no longer the same as she remembered. Or maybe she hadn't been here for so many years and didn't have a deep impression of it. She still remembered that when her mother was still alive, she would bring her here to eat when she didn't want to cook. Now thinking back, it seemed like it was a long, long time ago.
Soon, as Bai Tang expected, three plates, two large and one small, plus rice and a bowl of tea, were neatly placed in front of Bai Tang.
The aroma with a hint of spiciness instantly raised Bai Tang's expectations, and her eyes lit up. As the diners at the surrounding tables looked at her in surprise at how much the girl ordered, Bai Tang leisurely picked up her chopsticks and started to eat!
The spicy and fragrant stir-fried meat, the stewed beef slices covered with thick soup, wrapped with crystal red vermicelli, and dotted with green and red peppers. Take a big bite, your mouth is full of the aroma of meat, with the chewy and refreshing vermicelli, and the slightly spicy soup covers the rice. Wow, it's just so happy.
It was so delicious that bubbles appeared in my mouth. Bai Tang was smiling as he ate, and his hair was swaying. The diners around him also had a strong appetite after seeing this, after all, watching happy people eat is very appetizing.
The doorman at a distance occasionally turned his head to look at Bai Tang, and when he saw Bai Tang eating with such a beautiful look, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. This pretty girl was so attractive, she was so happy just having a meal.
After a while, Bai Tang was full and looked at the plates that she had almost cleared out, her face full of embarrassment. How could she eat so much? The two men who were drinking at the table next to her looked incredulous. This girl ate more than both of them.
Bai Tang picked up the tea bowl with a bit of trepidation, drank the last bit of tea, quickly stood up and walked to the bar to pay the bill, as if she couldn't see the eyes on her. She scanned the code to pay 165. She had never paid so generously in these years.
When they were already far away from the restaurant, Bai Tang finally let out a sigh of relief. "Oh~ That's so embarrassing, I won't eat like this anymore." After comforting himself, Bai Tang realized that his stomach was a bit uncomfortable. "Alas~" He had been poor for many years, and today he indulged himself for the first time after having money, and ended up overindulging himself.
The moon is crescent, and the little girl is going home.
Tonight, Bai Tang had the most peaceful sleep since her mother passed away. She no longer had to rack her brains to earn money for food and school. Other students often had new clothes, but she always had a clean school uniform.
While other students ate hamburgers and drank Coke, she always went home to cook for herself and drank boiled water in bottles. The few summer short-sleeved winter down jackets she had were cheap, outdated styles bought at the mall during the off-season.
During those years as a minor, she basically exhausted all her time and energy in order to have enough food and clothing while maintaining her academic performance.
In her dream, her mother came to see her again, holding her hand and telling her a bedtime story gently, just like she did many years ago when she was still a child.
The moonlight passed through the windowsill and reflected on Bai Tang's face as he slept soundly on the small bed, just like his mother's hand gently caressing him. In his sleep, the corners of Bai Tang's mouth slowly curled up and he smiled.
The next morning, the hustle and bustle of life came through the window, and Bai Tang sat up from the bed, his hair messy and his eyes staring.
Aunt Zhang downstairs is beating the kid again. The naughty kid did something naughty early in the morning, and Aunt Zhang chased him around the neighborhood and beat him. Alas, a six or seven-year-old boy is really hated by dogs. I can't sleep well.
Bai Tang scratched his hair and ran to wash up, then decided to do something big today. He would order a big cake for himself on his birthday tomorrow.
Thinking of the big cake, Bai Tangle, who was brushing his teeth, smiled happily, with toothpaste foam all over his face.
After packing up, the thin girl, in high spirits, was like a little sun. She rushed out of the house in a hurry, and greeted old neighbors enthusiastically along the way.
"Hello, Grandma Sun."
"Aunt Zhang, you're beating Xiaole again."
Bai Tang had been out of the community for quite a while. The neighbors behind him were all looking at each other in bewilderment. Even the naughty child who had been spanked by Aunt Zhang stopped crying. Was Bai Tang relieved after finishing the college entrance examination? Or was there something happy that made him feel better. The neighbors gathered together and chattered, but they all thought it was a good thing. No one wanted to see a good kid who had been raised since childhood become depressed.
Looking at the recommendations on his phone, he headed towards a nice cake shop, thinking that it was time to change his phone. "Well, this little old one is no longer worthy of me." Bai Tang was still very happy while making fun of himself.
Ten minutes later, Bai Tang stood in front of a store, looking up at the warm-toned plaque.
"Glimmer Cake House, um, that's his house."
Pushing the door open and entering the store, the air-conditioned air with the sweet aroma of pastries hit Bai Tang in the face, making him shudder violently. This was too wonderful.
"Welcome, beautiful lady, how can I help you?" A young girl dressed elegantly in an apron came forward to greet Bai Tang.
"It's my birthday tomorrow, and I want to order a cake for myself and pick it up tomorrow."
"Okay, how big do you want it? Do you have any favorite flavors? This booklet has various shapes and you can pick one you like." The clerk brought out an exquisite picture booklet.
Bai Tang took a look and pointed at a Doraemon cake, "I want it to be like this, a 12-inch big cake."
After some selection and confirmation, Bai Tang paid more than 1,200 yuan. After leaving the house, he secretly smacked his lips and said, "Oh my God, if I didn't have money now, I would be crazy to eat such an expensive cake." However, when he thought about the samples he had just tasted, they were so delicious that it seemed that the high price was justified.
Bai Tang doesn't know yet that in the future, there will be more expensive things in her world. A palm-sized cake is more expensive than the big cake she ordered now.
However, life is always about constant attempts and constant innovation. In short, seeing the world.
Bai Tang, there will be a day when you stand in the big world.
