Chapter 473: Cheap Enough to Doubt Life

Rocky accepted his invitation, and the cafeteria provided hamburgers, sandwiches, pasta and the like, and it cost about 20 cents for two people to eat a good meal.

It doesn't sound like much, but it is also a considerable burden, especially for Rocky, whose family is poor and needs to rely on scholarships and part-time jobs to make ends meet.

When he came to the door, Joey was already waiting, reading professional academic journals.

"Joy." After greeting, Li Zitao pointed to Rocky beside him and said, "My roommate, if you don't mind him coming with you!"

"No problem, do you have a car?" Joey asked.

"My car was taken away." Li Zitao shook his head.

"No." Rocky shook his head.

"Let's go to the school cafeteria! Other places are too far away." Joey set the place in the cafeteria, Rocky had no objection, he originally thought of the cafeteria.

Li Zitao had no objection either, he just wanted to treat the two of them to dinner, so they knew each other.

Pretend to beep or something, no matter how expensive it is, it's not enough to show his style, and he can afford to eat it every day at a state banquet.

Baba.

A low-pitched horn sounded, and when I looked up, it turned out that Tia had returned, and there were two men in overalls sitting in the co-pilot.

"Did you bring the things back?" Li Zitao stepped forward to look at the trunk, where there were various daily necessities piled up.

"Velvet bedding, radio, leather chair, small wardrobe, and usual clothes." Tia pointed to the things inside and explained everything.

These were bought according to Li Zitao's habit. He likes to listen to the radio when he relaxes, and he likes the soft and comfortable seats.

The clothes have to be changed every day after taking a shower. If there is no prohibition on alcohol, I believe he will definitely put a wine cabinet in the dormitory for his 'drinks'. '

"303, just put it inside, thanks for your hard work." After giving a tip of $10 and handing over the key to the worker, Li Zitao said to Tia; "Come with me for dinner."

"My life advisor, Tia, this is Joey, student advisor, Rocky, my roommate." Li Zitao introduced Tia to the two.

"Hello." The two sides greeted each other, but did not change their goals, and continued to head towards the school cafeteria.

"Did you tip the worker $10 just now?" Joey asked in a low voice, a little mysterious.

"Uh... is there something wrong?" Li Zitao asked blankly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Joey shook his head, his expression didn't seem to be all right.

Rocky also has a strange face, and there is a tip of $10 for moving such a little thing.

If it weren't for the fear that the two strong men who got the tip would kill him, he would now like to say to his new roommate; "Leave this job to me!"

Lao Mei will not feel embarrassed because of this kind of thing, as long as the money is earned by their own labor, they will never feel that there is a distinction between high and low.

Originally, he didn't want to inquire about the other party's personal problems, but in the end, Rocky couldn't help asking; "Just now, was it your car?"

"F931, less than 500 yuan." Li Zitao explained.

"That's an astronomical figure, enough to cover my food expenses for six years, six months and fourteen days...if food prices don't rise." Rocky said, spreading his hands.

Breakfast is 5 cents, lunch and dinner are 8 cents each, 21 cents a day, and 6.3 dollars a month is what he spends on food.

"Are all the students here the same?" Li Zitao asked in amazement. The 21 cents a day for food really scared him a bit.

"Mostly, there are few opportunities for part-time jobs, and the economy is bad, you know." Joey said with a deep look at him.

If he can help, it will be great news for the school and the students.

So far, Joy only felt that his face was a little familiar. She didn't pay much attention to economical things and those messy reports.

For rich people, Joey's attitude has always been that he does not hate or pay attention to them.

She's not interested, and she doesn't have time to see which clubs those rich people went to today, which Hollywood stars they were rumored to be having sex with,

Or which company was acquired.

Instead of wasting time on these 'junk' information, it is better to find a way to help students contact several companies that can provide part-time jobs.

"McDonald's, I think you know." Joey suddenly slowed down and walked side by side with him, "It provides tens of thousands of jobs for college students and unemployed people across the United States."

"Is there anyone in our school working there?" Li Zitao showed admiration, "It is a responsible company."

"That's right, Lawrence, he is a member of the Rockefeller family, and they will always assume their social responsibilities." Joy replied very positively, it sounded like she admired Rockefeller very much.

"Rockefeller is the pride of the United States, and I really hope to work for them after graduation." Rocky was also full of excitement when he mentioned the name.

"But as far as I know, Lawrence can't decide this alone." Li Zitao suppressed a smile, wanting to hear people's comments.

"But it must be his proposal. It has yet to be eaten, and he announced it to be implemented in all McDonald's stores." Joey said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, Lawrence is really amazing. Without him, McDonald's might not have appeared." Rocky agreed with her point of view again like an echo.

Because of Lawrence's relationship, they talked endlessly, and Li Zitao seemed to be a marginal figure.

Fortunately, the cafeteria finally arrived.

Simple long chairs, square tables, and a few tables on the right against the wall, with bamboo baskets on them, covered with white gauze.

To the left of the table was a sign that said 'Burger 6.50 cents, pasta 8 cents, sandwich 3.20 cents, milk 2.50 cents, coffee—'

"Why is pasta the most expensive?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Because it comes with vegetables and bacon." Joey answered his question.

"Four each of pasta, sandwiches and hamburgers." Li Zitao finished speaking and looked at the people around him, "Do you want milk or coffee?"

"Coffee." Joey and Rocky said in unison.

"Milk." Tia asked for something different.

"3 cups of coffee, 1 cup of milk." After ordering the meal, the total was less than US$1, so cheap that Li Zitao doubted his life.

"You don't need to look for it anymore." Li Zitao said habitually when he took out the change of $5.

"Looks like I'm going to spend four years in college with rich people." Rocky said jokingly, he had no ill intentions towards Li Zitao.

Li Zitao is not like other children from rich families. He treats the poor with disdain, contemptuous eyes, and discriminatory tone, as if they should not live in this world.

Besides, the rich roommate treated him to a big lunch.

After paying the money, there were two extra plates in each person's hands, and the pasta was piled high, followed by two broccoli and a small piece of bacon.

The bacon is really small, about 2cm wide and 3cm long.

After looking back and forth several times, Li Zitao doubted whether it was enough to fit between teeth. As for other foods, he could only describe them as horrible.
