Shoot yourself in the foot

At one o'clock in the morning, the dim lights scattered on the ground.During the day, there is still a lot of people here, but now there are only some garbage plastic bags blown by the cold wind. The contrast between morning and evening is very interesting.

Bai He took a deep breath of the night air through the mask, and the cold air filled his lungs, making him feel a little comfortable.

It's close to the business district, so it's very busy during the day.There is a strong contrast between the high-rise buildings and the previous old city, just like the closed shops all over the street, the cold iron curtain doors are somewhat ruthless.

The next street corner is where the barbecue shop is located. There are many bars and KTVs here, and they are open 24 hours a day. The neon lights at the entrance of the shop are colorful.

Before we get close, the road is illuminated far away with colorful colors, and you can imagine the lively scene inside without going in.

Bai He didn't have that in mind, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't been to a nightclub, he just wanted to eat a barbecue sprinkled with pepper and five-spice powder.

Fortunately, the smell of oily smoke wafting from a distance indicated that it was still open, so Bai He walked over at a faster pace.

There is no one in the store now, the boss is cleaning up a table, presumably it is a table of guests who have just left.Seeing someone coming, he quickly wiped his hands and brought Bai He a menu.

"It's so late, young man, come to eat barbecue alone?" The boss probably was bored, so he started chatting with Bai He.

Bai He nodded, "I'm just a little greedy."

"Haha, this barbecue is addictive. Guess what? I didn't do catering, but my wife likes to eat barbecue. It made me think about opening a barbecue restaurant!" The boss said while working with a smile.

"Then your wife is very happy, now you don't have to worry about not having barbecue."

"Hey, boy, don't you need a drink? A group of college students who came just now drank up all my stock. I'm really sorry..."

Bai He waved his hand, "It's okay, I don't have the habit of drinking beer while eating barbecue."

Bai He ordered more than a dozen skewers, and ordered a few dishes of stir-fried dishes, all of which were spicy and heavy.

The boss reckoned that this was the last business order of the day, so he simply gave Baihe a few bottles of Wahaha, which could somewhat relieve the greasyness.

The boss roasted it very quickly, and the smell of the mutton skewers made Bai He almost salivate just by smelling it from a distance. Seeing that there was no one around, he simply took off his mask.

When the boss came over with the dishes, Bai He still felt a bit guilty, but the boss was the first to say, "You young man looks good enough! He looks like a star!"

Bai He smiled awkwardly but politely.

"I actually think that the star you and my wife like looks quite alike!"

The boss thought of something, turned around and yelled to Bai He, who was so frightened that Bai He, who was biting the mutton skewers, shivered, "I don't like these things very much, only women and girls like them are obsessed with them!"

Bai He nodded, and casually agreed, thinking that maybe the one your wife likes is himself.

Mutton skewers, kidneys, palm treasures, squid, leeks, and corn were all placed in front of Bai He, and the smell of seafood stir-fried by the boss behind him made even Wahaha taste delicious.

Bai He's mood improved in an instant, and he comfortably crossed his legs, looking at the scenery outside the street while eating.

This barbecue restaurant has a place in the store, and a lot of seats have been set up outside the store, and the boss probably hasn't had time to take it back.Bai He sat under an umbrella outside the store, which could cover his whole position.

At first, I was a little worried that someone would recognize me, but after eating for a long time, no one passed by at all.Bai He also boldly sat across the chair, looking at the dark sky.

The moon and stars could not be seen under the big umbrella. Except for a few luxuriously decorated entertainment venues opposite, the rest of the surrounding shops were all closed.The only barbecue restaurant that is still lit here is in contrast to the colorful neon lights.

The boss finished his work at this time, and he also carried a bottle of Wahaha, and now he was sitting on the table next to Bai He in a daze.

Bai He didn't know what he was capable of, and by chance, it seemed that every time he went to a restaurant, their boss liked to chat with him.

"Are you wondering why I opened the store here?" The boss had nothing to say.

Bai He laughed and said, "People who are partying in the entertainment city come out to have a barbecue at night, is it a good deal?"

The boss nodded approvingly, but sighed again, "It turned out that I was wrong..."

"Huh? What?"

"I picked the wrong place, but I guess the business will be better if I find a random KTV." The boss took a sip of Wahaha, but it seemed like he drank some beer.

Bai He glanced at the entertainment city across the street, KTV, bar and even a sauna were integrated for entertainment.

The boss glanced at him, and it seemed that he was determined to complain to Bai He, "I've been driving for almost a year, and I can count the number of barbecue customers in my shop since I came out of there! "

"Really?"

"Then can there be fakes?! Later, I asked, this is a high-end club, and the people who come here for entertainment and consumption are all dignified people. Like these big shots, would they come to eat barbecue? I think many of them think that barbecue It’s no different from a roadside stall, right?” The boss took another sip of milk.

Bai He didn't say it out, but he still muttered in his heart, the barbecue is indeed a roadside stall...

"Most of the people who come to my store are students. My prices are affordable and the business hours are long. They are willing to travel more." The boss smiled, "The world is not easy now! There are too many people in the capital, and the rich There are too many people!"

Rich people don’t want to come to eat at roadside stalls. Even if they are attracted by the aroma, they will never come here to “drop the price” in front of their friends.

In this way, Bai He, who only dared to sneak out to eat barbecue behind people's backs in the middle of the night, isn't it pretty much the same...

"You cook delicious food, so you don't have to worry about no customers." Bai He couldn't think of anything to say, so he could only comfort him perfunctorily.

The boss didn't plan to say anything more, after all, it's not good to disturb people's dinner, so he just sat in the distance and looked at his phone in a daze.

Bai He buried his head in eating for a while, then looked up at the gorgeously decorated clubhouse across the street...

People like Xiao Sheng must like to come to such a place... The sudden idea startled Bai He, why did he suddenly think of that person?

After eating and paying, Bai He touched his full stomach and thought about walking along the street.

After bidding farewell to the boss who was probably still immersed in sadness, Bai He walked towards the clubhouse. For some reason, he wanted to go in and have a look, so he went in with a smell of barbecue.

Bai He pulled on his mask and walked over in a swaggering manner.

The receptionist standing at the door probably saw that Bai He had just come out of the barbecue booth, and his expression was not very good, as if the smell of barbecue on Bai He's body was so strong.

After pinching his nose for a while, and waving the air for a while, he saw that this person was wearing a mask and sportswear with no price tag. He didn't look like a rich man.

It is said that dogs look down on people, and it is also late at night, and people are not very good-tempered, and they speak in a very aggressive tone.

"Do you have our membership card?"

Bai He came here for the first time, how could there be, "No..."

The receptionist tilted his head and said, "I'm sorry sir, we have a membership system here, and if you don't have a membership card, you are not allowed to enter!"

It means that wherever you are cool, stay there!

Seeing her like this, Bai He suddenly felt amused, he had never been treated like this before.What's the matter?The barbecue smell on his body is so strong now, can it make people hold their noses constantly?

It stands to reason that Bai He must have turned his head and left after being shaken in such a way, but he doesn't want to leave now. "Then what about your membership card?"

"Huh..." It seemed to be a voice coming from the nose, "We have to spend a minimum of 2 yuan to be eligible for membership. Would you like to apply now?"

"Oh." Bai He thought for a while. Although he didn't carry the card with him, he still had some money in the wallet balance in his mobile phone. After thinking about it, he asked, "Does being a member count as your performance?"

The man guessed that Bai He would not handle it, but he said with a high-spirited attitude, "Of course, I will help you apply for the membership card. I am your person in charge. Naturally, I will personally arrange the service."

"Hmm." Bai He shrugged, "Then let's do one, hurry up."

The receptionist looked like he had seen a ghost, he really didn't expect that Bai He would really spend 2 yuan to apply for a membership card.

But after all, she couldn't let go of this door-to-door business. She bit the bullet and almost changed her face, and immediately put on a fake smile, "That sir... this way please..."

As he walked, Bai He looked around at the decoration here, there were relatively old-fashioned colored glaze and gold accessories.

Calculating the time, because Bai He wanted to maintain his personality, he rarely went out to have fun with others in this entertainment circle, and his friends were pitifully few.

So there is no chance to come to this kind of occasion, looking at the many boxes in front, and the warm music accidentally leaking from the door of the box, I finally recalled the taste of feasting and drinking.

Xiao Sheng probably didn't grow up in this kind of situation, that kind of fake smile is exactly the same as the receptionist's fake smile just now.

But these two people are quite different, how could they be compared, Bai He couldn't help laughing to himself.

When you walk to the front desk, there are dedicated management personnel, and every member is a sponsor.As soon as they heard that Bai He was coming to apply for membership, they became more enthusiastic about the service.

Bai He casually reported his information, and because he was wearing a mask, the receptionist asked him to take it off and tell him what facial information he wanted to take.Bai He frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "Do you have to take facial information?"

"Excuse me, sir, we all have real names." After all, it is a formal place.

"Then what if it's not convenient for me to show my face?" Bai He thought in his heart that this was not good.

"This... we haven't verified our identity, so we can't apply for a membership card..." The receptionist was obviously a little skeptical, after all, Bai He was wearing a loose tracksuit with a mask and a hat, so don't play tricks They play!

This is going to be fatal... The name and phone number that Bai He reported just now are all fictitious.

He thought it was just a matter of registering an account membership card and spending enough money on his own, and he didn't think much about it... Who knew he would need a real name...

Eating barbecue in the middle of the night, being ridiculed by the receptionist, and even going to the entertainment club to apply for a membership card.It doesn't sound like something that a cool person like Bai He would do...

Oh hoo, does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?
