Chapter 225: Lunch
It was nearing noon and close to the end of the day when Sakai Mirei hurriedly ran alone to the president’s office. She saw that Masayoshi Kishimoto hadn’t left yet, and with a huge sigh of relief, she smiled and said, “Finally, I’ve caught up.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto sat on top of his chair and asked offhandedly without knowing what he meant when he looked at her, “What did you catch up on?”
“At noon, I want you to take me to dinner. I want a nice, French meal.” Sakai Mirei said bluntly.
Masayoshi Kishimoto realized that she had come running so aggressively, all for the sake of eating. Let’s eat, her mouth was not only greedy, but she also had to specialize in good food.
“Lunch time is only an hour, what kind of French meal is it? KFC it is.” Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but recall inside his head that in the current 1999 mainland China, if a high school student like Meiling Sakai could eat a KFC, it would be a big meal.
Not only that, KFC also represented a symbol of fashion and middle class in mainland China. Just as in a decade or so, it was widely accepted that drinking Starbucks coffee represented a kind of petty life.
The student party inside this can eat a meal KFC children, that in the future to see friends and classmates can also be able to blow on several days. Not only high school students, even college students, is a luxury meal.
A girl asks a boy, “Do you love me? The boy replies, “Why don’t I love you? I’ve treated you to KFC. Thus, among couples who are in love, the phrase, if you love her, treat her to KFC became popular.
Sakai Meiling shook her head and stomped her feet while pouting, “No, I don’t want to eat KFC, I just want to eat a French meal.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but cry and laugh when he saw her displaying the temperament of a young girl with an immature mind. For this reason, inside his head, he could not help but recall his previous life when he was still in elementary school, the first time he ate a 1.5 yuan bag of Master Kong braised beef noodles, not only smelled the aroma, but also simply felt that he had eaten a delicacy on earth.
Later, he read the university of business administration, is only from the case study found that the top of the new group did not enter the Chinese mainland market to do Kang Shi Fu instant noodles, is a Taiwan is about to close down the bankruptcy of the enterprise.
Because Master Kong’s instant noodles in the Chinese mainland market, resulting in Top New Group not only back from the dead, but also from the Chinese mainland market above the money earned to buy the 101 building with Taipei landmarks.
Then there is when I was a child, the big white rabbit milk candy is synonymous with high-grade sugar. Then later, there was Alps. Actually, none of them were good.
There is a kind of original fruit candy imported from Japan, that is really delicious. H盲agen-Dazs, a popular American product, has become the Rolls Royce of ice cream in China, a luxury product. It’s a ball will be sold for 25 yuan soft sister coins, two bites are gone.
Shoes, Den-Yun is synonymous with premium leather shoes. Before Nike and Adidas were regarded as high-end sports goods by students in later generations, Li Ning sneakers were synonymous with premium sneakers.
Quite a few fakes imitating the first-generation style Li Ning sneakers can be found everywhere on many people’s feet. Whether it was a pair of Deng Yun leather shoes or a pair of Li Ning sneakers, it had to cost more than a hundred dollars a pair.
At that time, the average salary of an ordinary worker in a small city was only two or three hundred or three or four hundred yuan. If the efficiency of the enterprise is not good, one or two hundred dollars, or even can not pay wages.
When I was in elementary school, a girl in my class refused to buy a school uniform because her mother’s factory hadn’t paid her salary for several months. In front of so many classmates and the class teacher’s face, she said and bawled her eyes out.
That’s what the post-80s city kids in mainland China are going through. After entering the university, it was the beginning of the year 2000.
I remember very clearly, read to the sophomore year, the same dormitory a rural out of the roommate, it was not easy to generous hospitality once, that is, their custom, sprinkle sugar.
Eat a do not know what brand of sugar, just feel all saccharin flavor. Out of politeness, and embarrassed to spit out, had to chew and swallow.
Even so, what I thought was bad, others thought was good. From this, they are really aware of the overall economy of mainland China what is called uneven development, there are still a lot of people who are not rich.
This kind of saccharin flavor let himself eat again, that is again and again later to go to Thailand to buy a bag of Bangkok’s fruit premium sugar.
“Brother Justice, why don’t you say something?” Sakai Mirei surprisingly said as she sat down on the desk in front of him.
Masayoshi Kishimoto struck the desk surface with his right palm twice and said sternly, “Come down here. It’s not decent for others to see this.”
Sakai Meiling could only comply. Her feet landed on the ground, and she said with a look of great aggression, “I haven’t eaten high class French cuisine yet!”
“There are plenty of things you haven’t eaten.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.
“It is precisely because I haven’t eaten it that I want to eat it. In the past, I didn’t have the chance to eat it. Nowadays, I have the chance, so why don’t I eat it?” Sakai Mirei perked up.
“You make such a good point that it actually makes me almost speechless.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a bitter smile.
“Then you’re agreeing to take me out for a French feast.” Sakai Meiling clapped her palms together, her face changing as fast as turning the pages of a book. Her face blossomed into a smile and said.
“Today’s noon definitely can’t work, another day! You and your sister discuss it, and find out a French fine dining restaurant that is close to your hearts.
On the weekend night, we’ll go back to enjoy the kind of high class French cuisine that we can eat for several hours and a dozen dishes in one night.” Justice Kishimoto decided.
“Can we not call my sister? She’s my competition. I just want to have a romantic candlelight dinner with you alone.” Sakai Mirei said bluntly.
“What’s going on inside your little head? Wait until you’ve had your twenty year old bar mitzvah before you say such things to me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as if she was just a little kid.
“What the hell are we having a for lunch?” Sakai Mirei suddenly remembered that she hadn’t had her noon meal yet today and said.
“Didn’t I already say KFC,” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a smile.
Sakai Misuzu’s facial expression instantly became very unhappy and said, “Don’t. I don’t want KFC, I want something else.”
“Fine! I’ll give you another one. McDonald’s then!” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with an unchanging smile.
Sakai Meiling started shaking her head and stomping her feet again, “Isn’t it the same thing?”
“It’s not the same. McDonald’s focuses on hamburgers. Its hamburgers can have not only chicken inside, but also beef, and even double layers.
KFC focuses on the many ways to eat fried chicken. In fact, the flavors above all give the same feeling.” Justice Kishimoto explained.
