American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune

Early next morning.

A satellite city of New York, Jersey City, New Jersey, is separated from Manhattan Island by the water.

Compared with the prosperity of New York, although it is only separated by a water, it is in a different state and has a completely different style.

It's a bit like a big city and the urban-rural fringe area next to it.

The taxes here are much lower than those in New York City, so many working-class people working in New York are willing to buy or rent houses to live in. Most of them are in residential areas, which are relatively deserted.

In a 24-hour American diner called "Little Owl".

Aaron and Kate put aside today's fighting teaching activities and rushed here from Queens at dawn. They didn't want to catch up with the traffic jam, so they arrived here very early.

Kate was still angry when she got up. On the way to the car, she saw from a distance the Stark Tower that would be criticized by the big-breasted beauty team for being "ugly" in the future. Kate had a stinky look on her face and said, "What the hell is this?" Such an expression.

Perhaps her aesthetic is very close to that of a big-breasted beauty, or as a self-reliant woman and a law enforcement officer, she naturally dislikes that playboy Stark.

Or maybe it's because Kate has been accustomed to exercising in the morning recently. When she drove here early this morning, she always felt a little awkward and unable to stretch.

Aaron has a plug-in, and his status is based on attribute bonuses, so it doesn't matter.

"Good morning, you two. Is this your first time here? What would you like to order?" A middle-aged African-American female waiter, who was not tall but super fat, and whose waistline looked like it could accommodate three Kates, came forward. , holding a coffee pot in one hand and an order book in the other, speaking to the two of them in a typical African tone.

This is an ordinary place. This is not a famous restaurant. Most of them are regular customers. They basically recognize it and there are no people who come here because of its reputation. Therefore, the waiter asked this question.

Kate looked at it and saw that this was the only waiter there since she got up early in the morning. She smiled and said, "Yes, we were passing by here. Thank you for a cup of coffee."

Kate didn't exercise in the morning, so she remained the same as before. She would only drink a little coffee to refresh herself. If she wants to maintain such a slender figure, she must strictly control her diet.

"Do you have any special dishes?" Aaron couldn't bear to eat less. He was in a hurry in the morning and had no appetite. He didn't eat much. In addition, his digestion was too good, so his stomach protested when he was on the way.

You can recall that when you were 16, 17, 18, or in your early twenties, you would eat quite well in the morning, and then you would be hungry again just after ten o'clock in the morning. As soon as school was over at noon, you would kill like a hungry wolf. To the canteen, that's pretty much what it means.

Aunt Hei smiled a little more when she heard Aaron ask this, and said with a smile: "Our bacon omelette is not bad."

Here in Midi, as long as there are service staff, you usually have to tip. In restaurants where there are waiters bringing dishes and water, you usually tip around 10% to 20%, and then round up the whole number and give it as you see fit, but don’t It's too boring, but it's almost okay.

If two people want two cups of coffee, each cup costs 4 yuan, and the total is only 8 yuan. It’s just 10 yuan for one coffee, so I’ll give you a 2 yuan tip. I saw that this tall, strong and handsome guy wanted something. After the meal, Aunt Hei was a little happy. The waiter's salary was very small, and tips accounted for a large proportion of the income. No matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat, and the more they were, the better.

"Oh, I think the quality of a restaurant depends on the quality of its omelette." Aaron said while looking at the menu card: "Then let's have a bacon omelette, three eggs, one bacon, and another one Pancakes, no honey, whipped cream, and a cup of coffee.”

Aaron didn't ask for much. He didn't want to attract attention when he was out. He just ate as much as he could until noon.

"Okay, wait a moment, you two." Aunt Hei wrote down the order, poured coffee for the two of them, and took out two small paper bags of granulated sugar and two small jelly-like creamers from her pocket, and placed them on the table. Go up, then turned around, twisted the waistline that looked at least "four Kates", and the two big round petals of "five Kates" and left.

"You have a good appetite," Kate said to Aaron as she added sugar to her coffee.

"Hmm, I woke up early in the morning and I don't have much appetite. I'm a little hungry now." Aaron fiddled with his coffee, took a sip, and said a little self-deprecatingly: "Well, we police officers are used to drinking. The only good thing about the crappy coffee in Bureau is that the coffee everywhere else is at least okay.”

As the saying goes, cheap stuff doesn't always make a good product. Aaron always suspected that those junk things were made out of dirt. There was that police officer who was a member of the Moonlight clan. He accidentally didn't have enough to eat at the end of the month and drank all-you-can-eat coffee at noon. "Eating dirt" really wasn't the right thing to do. Whatever you say.

Kate felt the same when she heard this. She took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Lisa hasn't shown up yet. The waiter will ask when she comes back later."

"Um."

After leaving New York City, although we are neighbors, we are also across continents. We have to pay more attention to the attitude and method of speaking and doing things. We can't just flash our police badge and say, "NYPD, we have a case to inquire about." When someone says, "This is "Jersey" will come back to you, but you still need to build a good relationship first so that people will be willing to provide you with information.

Not long after, Aunt Hei came over again holding a tray steadily.

"Bacon, omelettes, and pancakes are all ordered, but you need to call me again."

Aunt Black placed the food Aaron ordered in front of Aaron and was about to leave, but Kate stopped her.

"Please wait a moment. Has Lisa come to work today? Lisa Tianjing."

The black aunt looked at Kate, a white girl who only ordered a cup of coffee, and looked like she never caught a cold. Hearing this, she looked at Kate with a critical look. However, she was a guest when she came over. The black aunt still said: "I haven't come yet. What are you doing with Lisa? She hasn't caused any trouble, has she?"

Aaron and Kate both saw the protective look in Aunt Black's eyes, and thought that Lisa was quite popular here. Seeing Aunt Black's defensive look, Aaron said softly: "No, we It’s Lisa’s friend…a friend, and I have some news about Lisa’s friend that I want to pass on to her.”

Aunt Hei had a good impression of Alon, a tall, strong and handsome young man, although it didn't quite fit in with Aunt Hei's aesthetics.

In Black Auntie's eyes, Aaron's hair is not particularly thick, his hairstyle is too simple, his chin is not protruding, and his lips are not thick, especially the nostrils are too small, but he has a good figure, is strong, and he smiles happily. Overall He looks just average, with an ordinary appearance and a decent appearance.

But it looks quite pleasing to the eye. After all, is there a charm bonus from the plug-in? Aunt Hei is willing to listen to Alon's words.

Aaron just doesn't know what Aunt Hei is really thinking, otherwise he would definitely sigh, it's really great to have a plug-in to help you brush your face...

However, Aunt Hei still kept her guarded look on her face, looked at Aaron and said, "What kind of friend? It's not that kind of... old friend, is it?"

As Aunt Black spoke, she looked at Aaron and Kate with a critical eye. Aunt Black received guests all day long. She had seen a lot of guests of all kinds and had the best eyesight. She took a few glances to see what the guests were doing. If you follow a line, you can basically guess the answer 90% of the time.

It was early in the morning at the beginning, and I hadn’t gotten into the mood yet, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now I heard Aaron and Kate ask this, and as soon as I got interested, I immediately felt that Aaron and Kate had a businesslike aura, and then I asked. Said: "Are you two police officers?"
