Chapter forty-six, supper

At the end of June, the weather in Beijing has become hotter.

Liu Zhen's trip to Gangguo has also been decided. Nan Yi accompanied Liu Zhen to Xidan to buy some things to take with her.

On the second floor of Xidan Food Mall, the best cold drink shop in Xidan is here.

Popsicles are 3/5 cents, cream ice cream is 12 cents, Arctic Ocean is 15 cents, and there are also sour plum soup and mung bean soup.

The most expensive item is the stewed fruit in cream, which costs one dollar for a goblet. However, Nan Yi scorned this, as it was simply a deceitful thing.

What did you say?

The so-called fruit stew in cream is to cut the fruit pieces from several canned fruits into cubes and mix them with yogurt. Whether it is price or quality, it is more deceptive than the fruit stew in later generations.

But this is a device that fools people and takes advantage of consumers, but it is very popular.

Nan Yi was chewing the cheapest popsicle, and when he looked up, there were quite a few people ordering cream-stewed fruit in this cold drink shop. Whether they were delicate or large, they all ate very slowly.

Come on, Nan Yi understands, what people eat is not the taste, but the "expensiveness".

Those of you who are passing by, take a look. I am drinking a piece of fruit stew with cream. Do you think I am awesome?

Nan Yi raised his eyes to the first floor and saw several teenagers who looked like middle school students standing at the entrance of the food mall, holding two ice cream sticks in their hands.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

"I'm watching someone taking pictures of my mother-in-law. Did you see the children below? They are holding two ice creams in their hands."

"You see, are you waiting for someone?"

"We are waiting for someone, but what we are waiting for is the honey they want to take." Nan Yi smiled knowingly, turned to Liu Zhen and asked, "Is there anything else you are missing?"

"There should be no shortage. I have bought everything I need to buy. Brother, I have made you spend money again."

Liu Zhen smiled shyly.

"What are you talking about? You are my biological sister. Isn't it right for me to buy you things? Besides, the big yellow croaker I took out from the well is half of yours."

"Haha, how come I have a share? Brother, you paid for it. Of course it belongs to you alone. Besides, I have spent a lot on you in the past two years."

"Okay, little girl, you still make it clear to me that what's mine is yours, and it's only natural that you spend my money. You'll be gone for two years. I won't be around, so you can take good care of yourself.

.

If you have graduated from undergraduate degree and still want to take the postgraduate examination there, tell me as soon as possible and I will help you organize activities on campus."

"I don't know either. What the school means is that as soon as you graduate, you have to come back immediately and obey the country's distribution. For graduate students, you can't just take the exam if you want to."

"That's why I said to help you move around."

"Besides, I'm not used to being alone outside and not seeing my brother. I still want to come back early to be with my brother."

"Baby birds always fly to the sky, and you can't always hang around me. You have to have your own circle and make friends that belong only to you; not every friend you have is common to us.

"

"I have my own friends. The female classmates in the class, brother, you don't talk to them very much, but I have a very good relationship with them."

"Well, forget it. Anyway, take good care of yourself after you go out."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes, you are no longer a child, you have grown into an adult. Tonight, I will take you to do something that adults should do."

"What's up?"

"Eat late night snacks and drink beer."

"Sigh, what did I think?"

At this time, after eight o'clock in the evening, there were basically no shops or restaurants open on the street.

However, there are no absolutes and there are exceptions.

Next to the Capital Cinema, there is a snack bar of Xinfeng Restaurant, which is open until about 11 o'clock in the evening every day.

Here, they only sell beer, cold dishes, and filling wontons.

It's rare to find a place where you can have a drink at night. Of course, young people flock to this place, and the business here is definitely not bad.

When Nan Yi and Liu Zhen arrived, there was only one seat with the worst position left, and they had no choice. They could only sit, otherwise they would follow the example of the buddies at the door, standing or squatting, holding beer bottles.

Chatting outside.

Nan Yi looked at the menu on the wall, and while waiting for the waiter to come over, he ordered a few cold dishes, yuba and celery, pork head meat, spiced peanuts, and a liter of real beer, a bottle.

The loose beer at this time can be understood as draft beer, which is served in plastic draft beer cups and has too much water, so people jokingly call it beer.

But even so, demand still exceeds supply.

In the beginning, you could go to a state-owned restaurant and buy real beer alone, but because of its popularity, restaurants began to offer some combination sales. You can buy real beer, but buy some cold dishes first. If you don’t buy it, they won’t sell you real beer.

Therefore, every table in the store has at least one pot of cold dishes, among which five-spice peanuts are the most popular.

Loose beer costs 40 cents per liter; bottled beer costs 53 cents per liter, and the bottle deposit fee is 15 cents. A bunch of Nanyi orders cost more than 4 yuan in total, which is considered a mid-to-high-end consumption in the store.

As for the top consumers, of course it was the seven or eight young people at the table next to Nanyi and the others.

There were one or two cold dishes, and there were a lot of bottles of beer on the table. At first glance, there were no fewer than twenty bottles, which was more than ten yuan, and including the cold dishes, it was about twelve yuan.

When you eat out at this time, you will definitely not see anyone evading the bill. How to escape is to pay the ticket first and then eat.

They are young, care about face, and very vain. I guess they all told each other before going out to bring enough deposits.

Others usually order a few bottles first, and then ask for a few more bottles after they finish drinking.

For their table, the bottles are stacked on the table, which is actually a show off. If you really drink too much, if you drop a few bottles, you will probably not only feel distressed, but also suffer from liver tremors.

"Brother, the pork head meat tastes good."

"If it's delicious, eat more. When you get to China, if you want to eat Chinese food, you have to go to Brooklyn or Flushing, New York. They basically have southern food, and you may not be used to it. In Cambridge, you want to find authentic food.

You may not always be able to find Chinese food.”

"Huh? Brother, you have been to the country of Qiang, and you know it so clearly?"

"Haha, actually I did my homework in advance just to maintain my dignity as an older brother in front of you."

Liu Zhen smiled and suddenly looked in one direction.

Nan Yi turned around and saw two girls dressed in green, with lipstick on their lips, walking back and forth.

"Brother, what do those two people do?"

"Don't look at it, it's a stinky circle that is even worse than Sister Yao. If you say hello and buy her a bottle of wine, she will stick to you and talk nonsense with you.

There is usually no truth in her mouth. If you ask her where she is from, she will tell you Zhengyangmen today and Princess Tomb tomorrow. You can't tell the truth to her yet, otherwise, if you open your mouth, she will not be there in these four-nine cities.

do not recognize.

One by one, she is stubborn, regardless of whether you heard it or not, she just keeps pushing.

People are also more casual, and if they get really drunk, they don't mind following men to spend the night. That is to say, most of them don't have room to take care of them, otherwise, who knows what they will become like."

At this time, men and women want to eat the forbidden fruit. If they are not worried about a house like Nanyi, they really can't find a place to commit the crime.

It's definitely not possible to take it with you as a family.

As for the guest house, putting aside the danger of hooliganism, do you have a letter of introduction?

It's impossible to book a room without a letter of introduction.

What does a letter of introduction look like?

Generally, it is a piece of paper smaller than A4 paper cut in half, with a letter of introduction from a certain unit written on the header, and then the number XX is written in the upper right corner or lower right corner; there is a blank in the upper left corner for Fill in the name of the host unit.

Text content: I would like to introduce comrade "so-and-so of this unit" and "what to do" when he comes to you. I would be grateful if you could contact me.

Then fill in the date in the lower right corner, stamp it with the official seal, and some even indicate the validity period on the letter of introduction.

Not to mention that most young people cannot get a letter of introduction. Even if they get one, what should they do if they open a house in the capital city with a letter of introduction from an employer in the capital?

Yes, you can choose for yourself, whether to call the police station or the labor correction team.

You might say that finding a secluded place on a big curb is a good thing. It's still the same, if you are caught by the work squad and put on trial, you will inevitably be charged with being a hooligan.
