Chapter 793: Deadly Joke (20)

Of course, the steak in front of Bruce was not a complete steak, but some scraps, but the meat quality was quite good, and it was the kind of good beef that the rich often ate.

And the things that were served next surprised Bruce even more. There was a pot of clam soup, two oysters, two large sandwiches, and even a small piece of cake.

Selina rubbed her hands and said, "Everything is good on the West Coast, but the food is not very good. The food at home is still the best..."

After that, she picked up the fork, picked up a piece of beef, and put it directly into her mouth.

Seeing her chewing very fragrantly, Bruce felt that he was hungry too. He picked up the knife and fork to cut a small piece of steak and put it into his mouth. The rich soup and rich fat burst in his mouth, and the refreshing fragrance made Bruce feel intoxicated.

This solved a puzzle he had always had, that is, when he first took Catwoman to a high-end restaurant, Catwoman did not show too much surprise when she ate the extremely expensive steak.

Today, the situation has changed. Bruce felt that he must not have controlled his facial expression well, because Selina was looking at him with a smirk.

Selina smiled and said, "You don't think that we all eat swill in the slums? No!"

"Gotham is very rich. We have known this for a long time. Although the common people are not very rich, as long as the rich people have money, we can also drink some soup." Selina shrugged her shoulders and then explained:

"Because the restaurant business is good, the customer flow is large, and the ingredients are more, the price they order raw materials is also cheaper. Therefore, the boss will not be too distressed about the loss of ingredients, and the people working in the restaurant's kitchen are basically from the East District."

"The boss turns a blind eye, and the chefs and helpers in the kitchen will pick up the scraps. However, because there are many high-spending people, there are many dishes and scraps every day. The chefs and helpers can't finish eating them, so they will sell them."

"Of course, how can the scraps compare with those main dishes? The price will be much cheaper. The steaks you see are all leftovers from high-end restaurants. Do you remember that when we go to those restaurants to order dishes, we only order the best parts of the cow, but there is so much meat in a cow, there will always be some left."

"Also, some dishes use the best parts of the cow, but only the most essential piece is used, and the edges are cut into smaller pieces. This is what you eat. Although the quality is very good, it is too broken and can't be sold at a high price."

Bruce looked down at his plate. Selina was right. The beef on the plate basically didn't need to be cut with a knife. It was like it had been cut. This kind of minced beef would not be served in any South District restaurant.

"And these seafood are all frozen products, usually stolen by some cold chain transport drivers. This stuff has transportation losses, so it's okay to report more. This is why everyone is scrambling to do this job. They make the easiest extra money."

"Also, these vegetables you see are usually used for plating. Customers in high-end restaurants don't eat these. When the kitchen staff is cleaning up the plates, they will intercept these and sell them."...

Selena pointed out the window of the restaurant and said, "Don't look at how lively it is outside. The ingredients they use are not as good as what we eat now. Many store owners will choose to grind some not-so-good meat into meat patties, and add more sauce to cover up the odor. You should have eaten this meat, so you have diarrhea."

"Of course, this kind of restaurant with good ingredients, in addition to needing connections, is also more expensive. I can only eat here once a month, but I just came back today, so I'll celebrate it."

Bruce listened to Selena while constantly putting beef into his mouth. He hasn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

Selina ate her meal in small bites. She said, "I think you may think that these people in the slums are too stupid. Don't we know that those rich people exploit us every day? If so, why can't we take more?"

"Thanks to their high consumption." Selina clasped her hands together and said, "I hope they waste a little more every day, and it would be best if they only take one bite of steak, and all the rice and flour bags are infested with worms. Oh, there is no need to pray for this. Even if the rice and flour bags are not infested with worms, the warehouse manager will make them infested. Anyway, they don't lack this little food... Bruce thought while eating. If it was in the past, he would definitely rebuke Selina's statement because it was stealing and illegal.

Selina reached out and stroked Bruce's injured face, saying, "You are a little too worried, dear. You think you are too smart and we are too stupid, but in fact, people have strong adaptability. "

"I was born here and grew up here. I never thought there was anything wrong with it. You don't have to come here as an isolated person and experience it for a month and then feel that we are very pitiful. We are not pitiful at all. We live well."

"But those..." Bruce paused and said, "those who are lying in the basement waiting to die and can only rely on smoking to relieve the pain..."

"There are people like this everywhere. Pain is fair to everyone." Selina lowered her eyes, looked at her plate and said, "If you go to the best hospital in Gotham, you can see a bunch of rich people who have adjusted the dosage of morphine analgesics to the maximum. Aren't they also waiting to die?"

"Indeed, our medical conditions are not good. Many people can be rescued if they are placed in the rich area, and many injuries can be cured. However, if they are all cured, there will be no vacancies in the positions. Won't healthy people starve to death?"

Bruce was speechless. Selina looked at him and said, "People in Gotham have short lives. They either die in accidents or in fights. But the more people die, the more opportunities others have. If you replace your deceased predecessor, you may also die. Everyone knows this."

"You think you are too strong and we are too fragile." Selina's eyelashes shined golden light under the weak light, which fascinated Bruce a little. He heard Selina say with a sigh:

"Death is not terrible for us. This is everyone's destiny. From birth, From birth to adulthood, we have seen too many deaths, so. We are stronger than you rich people. We don't like to cry in front of the hospital bed, and the people lying on the hospital bed don't like to hear us cry. "…

"If you have this time, why not go out and have some fun, or drink some wine, I know. You think this is too frivolous, and you don't live seriously at all." Selina picked up the wine glass, put it to her lips and said: "But in fact, we also think that you live a little too seriously and too seriously."

Selina wiped the wine on her lips, looked at Bruce and said: "In fact, I don't want to mention this, but have you found that it is normal to have no parents in the East District."

"Not only is it normal, it is even very lucky. If you open your eyes when you are born and find that you are thrown into a house, and your biological parents are missing, then you should thank God quickly. ·

Although Bruce has adapted a lot, he still felt absurd when he heard Selina say this. Selina looked at his expression and smiled and said: "I know you are surprised, but I am telling the truth. "

"First of all, if you don't have parents, it means that no one will abuse you, no one will exploit you to make money, and no one will sell you to a dirty place..."

"If you are in a house, not on the side of the road or in a trash can, it proves that your parents should still be conscious. As long as you can hold on until others find you, you generally won't die."

"And if you are conscious, you are so lucky, because that proves that you didn't inherit your parents' drug or alcohol addiction, and you won't be born an addict..."

Selena stretched out her hand, shrugged, and said, "Sometimes, I would rather I didn't have a mother, so that I wouldn't have to go out to work on rainy days to buy cat food for her."

Bruce sat in silence on the chair, and Selena reached out and touched his face and said, "Sweetheart, more than ten years have passed. Even if you are rich and can make you sad all the time and don't have to do anything, you will only miss more if you continue like this."

"What do you think I didn't do? "Bruce asked.

Selina opened her mouth, hesitant to speak, then showed an awkward

expression and said: "Well... not really, you should have done something, such as... uh... at least, you wrote a lot of papers?"

"I mean Batman," Bruce stared at Selina with his eyes. Selina looked away, but Bruce didn't give up. Selina sighed and said: "Actually, I don't know what Batman is doing..."

"As far as I know, besides taking a walk with me, you just stand on the roof to enjoy the scenery... ah, wait! You still did something! You installed a lot of cameras, dug a hole in the mountain in the suburbs, and successfully made yourself unable to finish writing papers..."

Seeing Bruce's increasingly bad face, Selina immediately turned her smart little head and made up for it: "... ah! Wait a minute! I remember! Sheriff Gordon told me that the traffic light on the central turntable was modified from your bat light. It is really bright. Every night, I am scared by it..."

"Well, there is..." Selina's eyes turned faster and faster, but she still thought for more than a minute before she spoke: "Some time ago, the newspaper published your news. Someone paid a high price for your photo. If there is no photo, the whereabouts information will also be fine..."

Bruce's eyes became more and more unfriendly. Selina shrank her neck and said: "...Okay, I am actually a little tempted, but I know that you will definitely be angry, so I didn't do it."

"Oh, don't discuss this. If you have finished eating, let's go for a walk?" Selina started to act coquettishly again, because she knew that Bruce must be angry.

But who knew, Bruce asked:

"How much is my whereabouts?"

"Well..." Selina hesitated and said: "Five dollars for a piece of information..."

"How much? ? ? !

! "
