In the early years, elderly people carried bird cages, drank tea and ate snacks to show off their favorite birds. Now there are not many people raising birds, but the habit of eating morning tea is still retained. However, there are not many young people who eat morning tea on weekdays, and Xia Xiaolan is more eye-catching. She ordered a few famous teas for Liu Fen to try.
Liu Fen has lived for so many years and has never eaten in a restaurant.
Even if she married Xia Dajun back then, she never served wine. She remembered that it was 1963, and the family couldn't live on. Her brother Liu Yong was worried about how to raise the two younger sisters in the family, so he asked a matchmaker to find a match for Liu Fen. The matchmaker said that the Xia family had three sons, all of whom were strong laborers, and that Liu Fen would definitely be able to eat well after marrying.
At that time, the fields were collectively owned, and they had to go to work to earn work points every day. The eldest of the Xia family was married, and there were five strong laborers in the family. Isn't life easier than other families? But Liu Fen remembered clearly that the so-called full stomach was just noodles two days before the wedding, and noodle soup and sweet potato porridge on the third day.
Getting married means moving from Qijing Village to Dahe Village.
Xia Xiaolan was born a girl, Grandma Xia was dissatisfied, Xia Dajun was also disappointed, and no one wanted to give her a full moon.
During the month of confinement, Liu Yong got a chicken from somewhere, and Liu Fen got two chicken wings. Liu Fen still doesn't know whose belly the rest went to. At Xia's house, she never had any neat meals. Mrs. Xia was in charge of the house, so she wouldn't give her a daughter-in-law who couldn't have a son any good food.
Ironically, the most neat and sumptuous meal Liu Fen ate was when she divorced Xia Dajun. Liu Yong was overjoyed and invited several tables of villagers to dinner Liu Fen still remembers clearly which dishes Li Fengmei cooked. It was also a banquet organized by the rural people themselves. Liu Fen was restless in a restaurant where he had morning tea like today.
The noodle soup eaten in Anqing County and the donkey broth eaten in Shangdu are all small stalls.
The restaurant Xia Xiaolan brought her to was so grand that Liu Fen was afraid of being laughed at She was also glad that she was wearing the new clothes Xia Xiaolan bought last night before going out in the morning, otherwise Xiaolan would be ashamed today.
The table was quickly filled with exquisite refreshments.
"Mom, try this crab roe bun."
"Sparse ribs in black bean sauce."
Xia Xiaolan slowly introduced, raw beef porridge, crystal shrimp dumplings, fried spring rolls, barbecued pork buns, meringue egg tarts, money belly and a pot of Tieguanyin, two people can order so much in 1983, it is really a big customer.
The two old men next to them were muttering about being rich. They used Yangcheng dialect, but Liu Fen couldn't understand it. Xia Xiaolan replied calmly:
"Take my mother to try something new."
People in Yangcheng don't like to speak Mandarin. Those who speak Mandarin are from outsiders, and all outsiders are poor.
Xia Xiaolan, a foreigner, was so dignified and ostentatious that the two old men had nothing to say. People are not showing off their wealth, they are filial piety. The children and grandchildren in their family may not be able to spend so much money for the elders.
"Too much, too much"
Liu Fen said these three words the most, over and over again.
Xia Xiaolan was very experienced in dealing with her, she only said that it had been delivered, and she would not refund the money if she didn't eat it. The table was full, and Liu Fen stopped talking. Now everyone eats a lot. In fact, there is nothing to eat, but the economy can't afford it. Most people have a pot of tea with two snacks, and they can chat for two or three Hour.
Xia Xiaolan just brought her mother here to eat, so there was so much chatting.
Is it tasty?
Naturally it is delicious.
The ingredients are so authentic, she chose a time-honored brand, and every refreshment is above the standard. Some time-honored brands in later generations have become chain stores, and the daily traffic is too large, Xia Xiaolan feels quite ordinary when eating refreshments.
Now, it has not been changed by the tide of the times, so if we can enjoy it a few more times, we must hurry up.
Liu Fen couldn't understand the Yangcheng dialect, and the tea drinkers on the left and right were muttering something, but she could feel the envy of those people. What are you envious of? I envy her for having a good daughter. Liu Fen realized this, and the food in her mouth seemed to be more delicious.
She pushed the ribs in front of Xia Xiaolan:
"Xiaolan, you eat too."
She didn't know how troublesome it was to make crab roe buns and meringue egg tarts. She thought that meat was the best thing, so she left the ribs for Xia Xiaolan to eat.
Xia Xiaolan didn't explain, and readily accepted Liu Fen's kindness.
The mother and daughter were having a good time eating here, and the restaurant also had some private seats separated by carved doors and windows.
Where are the two middle-aged men sitting? There are two or three plates of refreshments on the table, but they can sit in the upper-class seats. Seeing his companion look twice at the mother and daughter having morning tea in the lobby, the other sighed:
"These twoThe number of outsiders in Yangcheng is increasing. "
The middle-aged man wearing glasses nodded, "The wealth of Yangcheng is incomparable to the inland cities. With the guidance of the Pengcheng Special Zone, the gap between Yangcheng and the inland cities will become wider and wider. In a few years, the residents of the inland cities will flock to to."
"Are you very optimistic about Pengcheng Special Zone?"
The current Pengcheng Special Zone is still under construction, and it is far from the rich and profound Yangcheng. Where was originally a spontaneously formed market, even if it is turned into a special zone, will it surpass Yangcheng?
There are many high-rise buildings in Yangcheng, which is no worse than Beijing and Shanghai.
Can Pengcheng Special Zone surpass Yangcheng?
The man with glasses didn't argue with his companions either, like the girl who was having tea outside, he had met on the train last time, but he forgot which village she was from in Southern Henan Province. At that time, she was not so rich, but in just one month, it seemed that she had already found her first pot of gold in Yangcheng.
There will only be more and more mainlanders like her coming to pan for gold.
The construction of the special zone also requires a lot of labor participation. How to manage the migrant population, the "Second Line" project with a total length of 86 kilometers starts from "Beizaijiao" on the bank of Dapeng Bay in the east, and ends at "Anle Village" on the edge of the Pearl River Estuary in the west. Can we really prevent things like capitalism from infiltrating the mainland?
In April last year, the construction of the 2.8-meter-high barbed wire fence began, and it is still under construction.
Can a barbed wire prevent the infiltration of capitalism?
How can people's natural yearning for a better life be blocked by a barbed wire fence. Enclosing the Pengcheng Special Zone may not have any effect.
The middle-aged man was not in the mood to catch up with Xia Xiaolan.
Sneaking in for a morning tea, it is basically impossible for him and a country girl like Xia Xiaolan to have any intersecting lives. Reunited here That doesn't mean that he will have anything to do with Xia Xiaolan.
Oh, he remembered that Xia Xiaolan was very clever.
Not only is she clever, but she also looks filial.
He took a glance at Liu Fen, she was the most common rural woman nowadays
Xia Xiaolan didn't know that she passed by the middle-aged man she met on the train.
She took Liu Fen to play in Yangcheng for a day, not only near the train station. Yangcheng is more economically developed than Shangdu, including the White Swan Hotel in Yangcheng, which was just completed this year. It is also called "32-story". It is located on Shamian Island, adjacent to the White Swan Lake where the three rivers converge Liu Fen has never seen a 32-story building .
Xia Xiaolan said that she will come to Yangcheng again in two years, and strive to take Liu Fen to live in the White Swan Hotel if possible, overlooking the Sanjiang River, with beautiful scenery.
Liu Fen recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, how could she enjoy this kind of thing? Don't dare to think, dare not think.
In the afternoon, Xia Xiaolan came to the wholesale booth as promised, and the boss really got the cotton coat¡ªcompared to his actions of pulling other clothes from the snakeskin bag, he took the cotton coat gently.
These cotton-padded clothes were beyond Xia Xiaolan's expectation: "Winterproof clothes?!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
