Chapter 138 What's Sold Here?
Upon entering the shop, I was surprised to find it packed with people.
On the table, there was usually a plate, but instead of a bowl, there were some things wrapped in paper.
Ma Junjie was greatly surprised.
He asked in confusion,
"Bingbing, what...what are they eating?"
"There's no food or vegetables here, and it feels so sparsely populated. Shall we go somewhere else?"
Liu Bingbing walked straight to the front desk.
I looked at the sign above my head.
The signboard had some menu items written on it.
Liu Bingbing asked,
"Brother Jie, do you want to eat Old Beijing style or Orleans style?"
"Huh?" Ma Junjie was completely confused.
"Bingbing, you just mentioned old Beijing, what else...?"
Liu Bingbing suddenly snapped out of her daze, glanced at Ma Junjie,
Without further explanation, he gave the order.
"Brother Jie, why don't you find a seat? I'll order, you just wait to eat!"
Ma Junjie glanced at the menu, then realized he really knew nothing about it.
I only glanced at the prices, and they all seemed quite expensive.
Without thinking further, he turned and left.
Ma Junjie hadn't intended to find a seat when he came in, but now that he really needed to, he realized just how popular the restaurant was.
Almost all the seats were occupied.
At each table, there were one or two children, happily munching on chicken legs and bread-like things.
Ma Junjie looked around, and after a while, he saw a group of people get up and leave. He quickly went over and took a seat.
After waiting for a few minutes, Liu Bingbing came over.
Ma Junjie asked,
"Bingbing, this place is really doing great business!"
Liu Bingbing sat down, wiped the table with a tissue, and said...
"Brother Jie, why don't you go wash your hands first? There are no chopsticks here, you'll have to eat with your hands!"
Ma Junjie was a little annoyed when he heard this.
He complained.
"The dishes here seem quite expensive, and they don't even provide chopsticks."
"Okay, I need to use the restroom anyway, and I'll wash my hands while I'm at it."
Ma Junjie stood up and walked towards the restroom.
After washing his hands, he returned to his seat.
Then he noticed that there was a lot of food on the table, and everything was wrapped in wrapping paper.
Ma Junjie asked in surprise,
"So fast?"
Liu Bingbing indicated,
"Brother Jie, sit down and eat!"
Ma Junjie sat down, and Liu Bingbing handed him something wrapped in paper.
"Brother Jie, here, have this!"
Ma Junjie took it, and could feel its warmth through the wrapping paper.
He slowly unfolded the paper and saw two slices of bread with something sandwiched in between, which looked like meat and vegetables.
"Bingbing, what's this?"
"Hamburger!"
"A hamburger? It sounds more like a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) to me?"
"Uh... then let's just call it a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)!"
Ma Junjie picked up the hamburger, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite.
He chewed it with great disdain.
After a while, his eyes widened slightly.
"Bingbing, this...this is actually quite delicious!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Bingbing finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Jie, this is food for foreigners. It's exotic and can be considered a local specialty."
"I knew it, you definitely hadn't eaten this before."
"If it's your first time trying it, you should think it's pretty good!"
Ma Junjie nodded, then opened his mouth wide and took another bite.
"Yes, it's actually quite good..."
"Bingbing, how much is this burger?"
Liu Bingbing replied, "16 yuan!"
"Cough cough!" Ma Junjie suddenly choked on something.
"16 yuan is enough to buy two or three jin of pork!"
"These foreign gadgets are just expensive."
Liu Bingbing smiled faintly, then opened a few more packages, revealing fries and fried chicken nuggets inside.
Liu Bingbing skillfully squeezed ketchup onto the fries, then took them and ate them.
Ma Junjie had never tried it before and was quite curious.
He reached out, grabbed a French fry, put it in his mouth, and made a "crunch crunch" sound.
After a few bites, he realized it was French fries.
Ma Junjie originally wanted to complain a bit.
After thinking about it, I decided to let it go.
They ate for about twenty minutes and finished everything they had ordered.
Liu Bingbing wiped her hands, stood up, and said,
"Brother Jie, let's go see a movie."
"Hmm!" Ma Junjie had just eaten a fried chicken leg and several pieces of fried chicken, and now he felt a bit nauseous.
He wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up, and asked,
"Bingbing, what's the name of this shop?"
"McDonald's!"
"Oh!" Ma Junjie said thoughtfully, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar.
The two walked outside; the movie theater was just a few hundred meters to their left.
Ma Junjie checked the time; there were still twenty minutes until the movie started.
Ma Junjie asked,
"Bingbing, what would you like to drink?"
Liu Bingbing shook her head.
"Brother Jie, let's go straight to the movie theater; they have food and drinks there!"
"Really?" Ma Junjie had never been to a movie theater before, and upon hearing Liu Bingbing's words,
He was surprised.
"Bingbing, let's go!"
"Get in early and get a good spot!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing gently shook her head.
The two walked towards the movie theater, arriving in just a few minutes.
Upon entering the movie theater, there was a large lobby near the entrance, and Liu Bingbing walked straight through it.
Ma Junjie followed closely behind and heard Liu Bingbing say to the waiter,
"I want a bucket of popcorn, a Coke, and a Sprite."
"Okay!" the salesperson replied.
When Ma Junjie heard the popcorn, he leaned over to take a look.
Good heavens, isn't this just what happens when people set off firecrackers in the countryside?
Ma Junjie was truly surprised, wondering whose brilliant idea this was.
They actually sell this thing in a movie theater?
After buying the items, Ma Junjie went up to pay.
The three items cost a total of 26 yuan.
Ma Junjie couldn't figure it out at all, and he never expected that these three things would be so expensive together.
"Brother Jie, let's go in!"
"Okay!" Ma Junjie responded, holding something in his hand.
He then freed up one hand and took out the movie ticket from his pocket.
At the entrance, I handed my movie ticket to the ticket inspector for checking.
The two entered smoothly, found the theater, and went inside.
Inside, the lighting was dim and visibility was very poor.
From what he could see, Ma Junjie could tell that quite a few people were already seated.
Ma Junjie noticed that several seats in the middle of the front row were empty.
He quickly called out to Liu Bingbing,
"Bingbing, quick, let's go grab that spot!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing quickly stopped Ma Junjie.
"Brother Jie, don't go!"
Ma Junjie let out an "Ah!"
"Bingbing, the middle spot is good!"
"What, you don't like it?"
Liu Bingbing glanced at the movie tickets, which read row 12, seats 08 and 09.
She said,
"Brother Jie, the seats were already assigned when we bought the tickets. Those seats in the middle are for other people; we're here!"
As she spoke, Liu Bingbing handed the movie ticket to Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie looked at it and suddenly realized.
He became a little embarrassed.
"Oh, Bingbing, it's good that you came with me."
"Otherwise, we might make a fool of ourselves!"
Liu Bingbing smiled slightly.
"It's okay, let's go to our seats."
Ma Junjie took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and used it to light the way for Liu Bingbing.
A short while later, they sat down in row 12.
Ma Junjie took a look.
Row 12, it turns out it was already the second to last row.
He glanced behind him casually.
I saw a man and a woman sitting in the last row, embracing each other...
