Chapter 426: Super Restaurant for Foreigners

Xiangjiang, a super restaurant for foreigners.

In the dense city of Pigeon House, a house of 90 square meters can be divided into 18 households.

The average area of ​​a house is less than ten square meters, which is not the most exaggerated thing.

The most exaggerated one is the subdivided room, which is a bed separated by an iron cage.

This is a room for one person.

Although the living environment is so exaggerated, there are at least 10,000 to 20,000 people living here every month.

Whether you are a dishwasher or a security guard, your monthly salary starts at more than 10,000 yuan.

Most of the people living in this environment are foreigners, so the super restaurants opened here are also called foreigners.

The Foreigner Super Restaurant, which has been open for more than a year, is particularly prosperous. There are no less than ten dishwashers in the restaurant.

As for the waiters who came to clear the tables, there were more than thirty.

This does not include chefs and so on.

The Foreigner Super Restaurant has a total of two floors, with a single floor area of ​​about 500 square meters.

It is enough to accommodate hundreds of people eating at the same time.

Since it opened here, the media has reported on it two or three times.

The main reason is that the price is too cheap.

The buffet price of 15 yuan per person is about the same in mainland China, but it is simply an anomaly in Xiangjiang.

The dishes are also very rich.

It can be said that from the day it opened, you have to queue up if you want to eat here.

If it happens to be lunch time, it won't be your turn to go in and get food for seven or eight minutes.

Some reporters did some calculations for it. First of all, it goes without saying that the housing prices in Xiangjiang are very high.

A two-story facade like this is not even located in the busiest Xiangjiang street.

If you open a house downstairs like this, and the annual rent doesn't start at 30 million, you can't even think about it.

As for its price, it’s pretty good if it can ensure employees’ monthly income without losing money.

Tens of millions of dollars in rent every year will definitely be lost, and this is also true.

A foreigner restaurant that charges 15 yuan per person cannot recoup its investment cost at all.

What can be recovered is the reputation of those outsiders.

Chen Anan honestly stayed here for a day or two, compared to the mountaintop villa.

People here eat simply to fill their stomachs for a living.

After eating, you may take a break, or you may immediately get into the day's work.

In short, there is basically no enjoyment of life on their faces.

This is the ultimate contrast between the villas on the top of the mountain and the people at the bottom.

She got used to it quite well, and Erpuya yelled that she wanted to go home within two days of her arrival.

Chen Pingsheng ignored her and left her here to exercise.

Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying also accompanied the two eldest ladies.

As for the fat aunt, she has been working here for more than a year and many people know her.

We were neighbors before, and now we say hello often.

According to her, even though there are many middle-aged people here, they seem quite stingy and reluctant to spend money on themselves.

But once you enter the casino, you feel like a different person.

The fat aunt also pointed at two middle-aged men with messy hair and dirty faces and said, "Those two are picking steel bars and moving cement on the construction site. They usually eat very much and don't like to talk. Every time I go to the casino three or four times a month. According to them, I will be poor for the rest of my life. How can I survive if I don’t rely on gambling?”

"Then have they turned over?" Chen Anan asked curiously, and the fat aunt whispered,

"How can we turn around? Of course we win less and lose more. In that kind of place, if you win, you can't hold back at all. If you lose, you will only get deeper and deeper. These two people have been working on the construction site for almost twenty years, and they can't even marry a wife. When you reach one, you can see that the money is sent to that place.”

Poor people actually gamble better than rich people.

Mainly because of the stimulation. When life lacks passion, many people like to seek comfort from it.

Not only these two people like gambling, but also many people who come here like it.

On the day when wages are paid, most people will form a team to play two games.

Some people are homeless, a single man, and if he loses money, he loses it.

Most people are not. They are already married and have children in the mainland. They come here simply to make money.

These people can often still control themselves a little.

If you can't control it, you can only end up with divorce.

It is no joke that nine out of ten bets will result in losing.

The fat lady didn’t understand why the big boss would send his daughter to a place like this to work as a waitress.

Maybe it's not just to watch the excitement, but more to see the actual life of these people struggling at the bottom.

In fact, the lives of poor people are often more depressing and lack a sense of accomplishment.

There is also a lack of channels to release emotions.

Gambling has naturally become a hobby for many people.

Some people can win hundreds of thousands in one night, and most people can lose a month's salary within a few hours.

The Outlander Restaurant not only brings together these people, but also some former street gangsters.

Like the old man with half-white hair, what he likes to talk about most is thinking about Causeway Bay back then.

Brother Haonan is not a legend. The prototype was slapped for interfering in Anita Mui's karaoke incident.

And was hacked to death in the street.

Many people talk about Hong Kong in the 1990s, and they always feel that there was still a place for Jianghu people in Hong Kong at that time.

But the ones who are really best at fighting are often the ruthless people who sneak over from the mainland.

Some people have indeed made it through the world of martial arts, and now they can still hold down their glasses and toast Chen Pingsheng with a glass of wine.

I just can't get to the main table.

It was an honor to receive a business card from him, while these people had already changed into suits and black ties.

More people were eliminated by the underworld.

Just like this white-haired old man, he was still lucky, and he admired that big brother for his loyalty.

But he was also put into a sack to fill the sea because of his loyalty.

The reason was that the younger brother offended a second-generation, and the big brother went over and slapped him without asking.

It was considered to be helping the younger brother.

He sank into the sea the next day.

As for his younger brother, he had already fled abroad and dared not return to Hong Kong until his death.

There were countless such things in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s.

After the return of 1997, the chaotic Hong Kong was completely cut off from the underworld.

And those who used to be underworld people, including that person, can only recall the past.

What Chen Anan can feel here is a kind of depression, an extreme depression.

Perhaps everyone wants to fight for the opportunity to change their fate when they are young.

Some people risk their lives, and then they lose their lives.

Some people work hard, and then they become coolies for their whole lives.

Others work hard and conscientiously in their own positions. They may not be happy, but their wives and children in their hometowns are their biggest motivation.

These people can control their inner desires, and they can live in a big house in the rural areas of the mainland when they are old.

More people still like to gamble, perhaps not because they like gambling.

It's just because they can't find hope in life.

And these people are often the most miserable.

They don't give up food and clothes, but they take all their savings to gamble and take a chance.

The price of hoping that a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle is that the original broken bicycle is gone.
