The atmosphere of the cold show may seem cold, but in fact it is quite the opposite. People who come prepared feel confident and calm, but those who are unprepared feel worried and anxious.
Karul kept winking at Ernst, and it was obvious that the current situation was a little different from what he had imagined.
In the atmosphere of silence, the waiter came over with a steak, placed it in front of Dulin, and placed a knife and fork for him—two sets in total, because in addition to the steak, there was also a small side dish. .
The topic of how to use tableware can be extended to a thick academic book. The aristocrats' strict requirements for the details of life have made their daily life a torment in the eyes of ordinary people. This is true when you think about it. Just dressing up takes about two hours every day. If you want to attend some grand banquets, this time may be longer. How can it be as refreshing as the ordinary life that ordinary people endure
But in the view of the nobles, the standardization of speech and behavior is the most effective way to distinguish between "nobles" and "untouchables" in this new era. They abide by the set of rules they have made more and more strictly, as if they can get the pleasure of being superior to others in this way. Especially when they look at the untouchables with an arrogant smile with a hint of pity as they devour food and wipe their mouths, they will make a helpless expression towards the people around them.
Look, this is the untouchable!
Although many things in the rules of the aristocrats are indeed worthless, people like to follow them because everyone wants to be an elite member of the upper class. It is a class and circle full of certain temptations. Let all those who consider themselves successful want to get in.
People are always laughing at or denigrating something mainstream, such as power, money, or class. But everyone also envies those who have these things. This is a very contradictory psychological activity. In another world, people call this psychology "hatred of the rich." The hatred against the rich is not only about wealth, but also about many other things that one does not have.
This is a high-end restaurant, and it is natural that it only receives people of high status. Dulin didn't know this, so he chose tableware that was more convenient and one size larger to dine. He cut the steaks roughly, inserted a piece of beef that was obviously larger than a fork into his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
The taste was much better than all the steaks he had ever eaten. He had never tasted such a good taste. When he turned back to look at the waiter, he paused for a moment, and then asked: "Where does this steak come from?" Where?"
The waiter had a very standard smile on his face, revealing eight teeth. The clean and neat teeth glowed faintly under the light, "This is a Wagley cow, which is only produced in a very small number of pastures in the empire." , the price is very expensive, the portion you eat costs sixty-eight yuan, sir."
Du Lin whistled, sixty-eight yuan. How many bottles of wine do you have to sell to earn enough money for one person to have a meal? There is no doubt that with the red wine on the table and the food in front of the two big men, the price of this meal is definitely more than he imagined. You must know that he has chewed bread that is harder than a stone. He has to sprinkle a little water and heat it next to a fire before he can barely chew off a layer.
It was too luxurious. He sighed and continued to eat the beef pieces with uneven edges.
"Don't you two have anything to say?" Dulin asked while chewing, meat crumbs and soup juice bursting out of his mouth.
Karul looked at Dulin with an indifferent expression, but Ernst spoke first. He frowned and observed Dulin for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "You are the one... that day?" "Money?", this sentence carries an obvious inquiry, because Ernst saw Dulin himself for the first time, and at the same time he remembered the boy who helped him deliver some things to other people. And paid a dollar for it.
Dulin also paid attention to Ernst at this time, and then nodded happily, "I remember, since we are acquaintances, it will be easier to explain the next thing clearly." Dulin took the last steak. After swallowing it quickly, he wiped his mouth and leaned back, "Wood is dead, but someone has to take over his shift. I know there are some rules and regulations between you and others."
"I intend to abide by this agreement!"
Dulin had already had a comprehensive idea before he came. The game rules set by the bosses were not something he could break now. If he didn't want to be the next unlucky guy who died inexplicably in a dark corner and became rat food, then He must learn to join the game as a "player". The rules were not established to allow them to be broken by someone or something one day. As long as Dulin did not show any thoughts in this regard, he would be safe at least for a short period of time.
And people also need a relatively stable order, whether it is about public security or the market.
Ernst picked up the napkin, dipped it in his lips, folded it and placed it on the corner of the table on his left. He tilted his head slightly, showing a very serious expression. The indifference on Karul's face softened slightly, which was good news. If Dulin was willing to follow the rules of the game, he would have to make concessions.
When both of them focused their attention on Du Lin, Du Lin slowly said: "The market is limited. In my eyes, Tenel is a big city, but I believe that in the eyes of you two, this is a big city." A city is nothing, because there are many more prosperous and wealthy cities than Nair. Compared to those places, this place is just a slum. I understand that the core of the rules set by the bosses is competition. "
"They need us to have competition with each other, a competition that can be controlled, and I will follow the rules of the game, but beyond that, I think we can try in another way not to destroy it, but have the ability to It has a certain 'transcendence' quality."
"We continue to compete for this small market in Turnel City, please allow me to use the word 'small', but we should focus on places outside Turnel City, such as Al Ordo or other Any big city is our main battlefield.”
Ernst gradually raised his hand to support his chin and stared at Dulin. Dulin's proposal made him very interested.
No one is indifferent to more money!
"Give your opinion!"
