A Restaurant I Like Supports QR Code Ordering Finally
I went to a restaurant I like today lunchtime. When I was walking directly towards the counter as usual, a waitress told me that I can just sit down and order via the QR codes stuck on the table.
(The original sentence is a long one. I have tried to cut it into 3 shorter ones, but I am still not satisfied.)
“Hurray! Great! Finally! ” I can't help but admire in my heart.
This restaurant started business months ago. I was happy then because it is the first restaurant that served that type of noodles in this district. But I hated the way to order. You had to follow the queue in a narrow passageway; When it was your turn, you must browse the menu and make a decision quickly. The staff behind the counter would tell you the price in total and give you the printed receipt and an iron badge with a number on it after you paid, which is used for the waiter or waitress to find you and bring you your food. Then you walked out and inevitably squeezed through the queue after you. You picked a table and sit down. When the food was ready, the poor waiter walked and gazed around and around and finally found the number on your badge.
It's really terrible experience, especially at lunchtime, at where so many workers from dense office buildings nearby.
It's like the owner of the restaurant is from a third-tier city of another province and it's the first time he/she came here, otherwise, how could he/she didn't know QR code ordering had spread since at least 2 years ago?
It's era of mobile internet bro!
Now it's all right. When you come here, you just need to take a seat, scan the QR code on the table using your phone, browse the menu in no hurry, pay it, and wait. All the information was sent to the backend via the internet. Since every QR codes on different tables are also different, when the food is ready, the waiter knows exactly which table should you are sitting at.
I think the owner is also happy since he can hire one less person - the guy behind the counter - the only one who is not happy.

The Road was Paved
I found the about 2-kilometers long road next to the office building where I work at had been shoveled when I got down the bus in the morning a few weeks ago.
I realized that the government decided to repave the road.
I didn't know why because the road seemed not bad before.
I found the left side of the road had been paved last Monday morning when I got down the bus.
Today, also Monday, the right side of the road had also been paved when I got down the bus.
It must be at midnight when they do the work because I saw some black asphalt footprints on the platform of the bus station, I was afraid of my soles would be tainted with asphalt, but it wasn't. It must have been a short time ago the asphalt surface had just dried.
Our government is so efficient. And thanks to the workers of the construction corps.
The new road surface looks great.

I'm reading River Town
I'm reading the River Town by Peter Hessler who had been China and wrote down his experiences.
I was thinking about extend my English vocabulary. A guy who is famous for teaching English on the internet said that reading original book in English is the best way, so I followed.
What books should I choose is the first task. To be honest, I'm not very interested in fictions, I prefer the real things, the record of actual events. So I choosed the book River Town. I think it will be easy to understand for it is about the things I'm familiar with, and it will be interesting to know what China is observed in a foreigner's perspective.
So far I have read about a quarter of the book. I can realize Peter's feeling about the strange things he encountered at the town he lived, sometimes I forced a smile. Yet most of what Peter had descripted in the book about Fuling in China had changed since he first came there in 1996. China has developed rapidly and became more enlightened and modernlized during the passed 19 years, while it was enough time for a baby to grow into an adault, the young generation have more independent minds less influenced by the official politics education than the elder.
I may finish reading this book in 3 weeks. The next book on my list is Benjamin Franklin's autobiography.
Please add a comment if there are other good books you recommend. Thanks in advance.
