Can you move to next table? There are 4 people waiting... this table can work for them. The waiter asked.
So I moved and sat next to her. Two very close tables.
Dishes were served.
Is it spicy? In halfway, she looked over and asked.
No, not at all.
Mine is very spicy.
I looked over, red peppers. You have red peppers, that is different.
She had two big dishes, no rice. She ate. She paused. Then she asked for a take away box.
I can't finish them... She said to me.
Yes, they serve a big bowl. I can't finish mine, either.
...I had my stomach cut, last year, a surgery. Only one fifth remains....
It will grow back. Stomach can grow.
She nodded. Now it's better. But I love eating. Don't want to skip anything...Ah, so love eating.
Yes. Food is such a joy of life.
So we packed the boxes and left the food stand one after the other. Outside pouring down the thunder rain.
Coffee again. I said.
Now the previous sunny girl was gone. The second girl in Family Mart smiled softly: use additive ordering?
OK. Though I was not very sure whether it was what she told me last time.
That's the cheapest way to order, I told you. Her face was even brighter.
Is it? Never know such a trick before.
Me neither. I saw that man ordering on machine there in this way. Click click click. So I asked him. Really! That is so smart. You see, it is always good to talk with people.
He must check a lot about the prices.
Some people just has that talent. I can't never figure that out by looking at these numbers. I just can't. She said honestly.
I nodded. I like the moment so much.
She stuck my receipt at the back of the counter. Now you can pick up your coffee one by one whenever you want, see? She smiled.
