Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 348: First experience with airplanes in the 80s

The north wind is howling, the snow is covering the city, and winter is coming quietly in the capital.

At the Zhongguancun Plasma Service Department, the "Ten Arhats" have been extremely busy. The contracted projects for the new tool factory have been handed over to other people. They are running around to purchase equipment and basic raw materials.

The training class has been suspended, and the wooden room has been vacated to store the purchased items.

It is manned day and night.

The planned project laboratory was limited by weather factors and it was decided to wait until the weather warmed up in the beginning of the year before building it.

Li Jiankun saw all this and only paid attention to it without intervening, leaving it up to them to do whatever they wanted.

To be honest, there are many things that ordinary people cannot purchase even if they want to.

1981, New Year's Day.

It was a beautiful day, and the sky over the capital, which had been gloomy for many days, finally cleared up.

Li Jiankun had his own itinerary and boarded a civil airliner flying to the port city.

It was not easy to get the handwritten boarding pass in his hand. For someone like him, it would have been impossible if there wasn't a joint venture and a port city company behind it.

Lin Xinjia used the names of two companies, TTK Home Appliances and Gangcheng Chinese Electronics, to send him a whole portfolio of documents.

Needless to say, letters of certification and letters of introduction are required when flying domestically.

In addition, there is also a "Special Talent Employment Certificate" and an "Invitation Letter for Specific Affairs". After passing three reviews, I was able to purchase a ticket from the capital to Hong Kong City with a fare of 158 yuan.

It took a whole month from getting the information to getting the boarding pass.

That's called a toss.

Fortunately, it was troublesome the first time, but it became easier after that.

It is worth mentioning that this route was only opened in 1980. At the same time, routes from Modu, Yangcheng and Hangzhou to Hong Kong City were also opened.

changes brought about by reform and opening up.

It’s just that there are very few flights at present. For example, the capital city to Hong Kong City only has 8 flights a week.

"Sir, if you feel it's too crowded, you can sit over there."

In the cabin, the beautiful waitress warmly entertained me.

The small plane with more than 40 seats only accommodated more than 20 people, which made Li Jiankun worried about whether they would have enough fuel.

He was more respectful than obedient. In fact, it was not crowded, but there was a crooked nut next to him, and his body odor was overwhelming. The flight attendant obviously noticed his uncomfortable expression.

The plane was parked on the airfield of the airport and had not yet taken off.

After all the passengers arrived and the cabin door was closed, the flight attendants started handing out gifts one by one.

A well-made folding fan with smooth wood and an ink landscape painting on the fan.

Why isn't it worth two or three yuan?

There is a reason for giving fans. After the plane reaches a high altitude and stabilizes, the air conditioner will not be turned on to prevent guests from getting bored.

There were two waitresses on this flight, both of whom were first-class beauties.

These days, being a flight attendant is a very prestigious job, and the selection criteria are extremely demanding. Li Jiankun had read a report before, saying that only 4000 people were selected out of 20 people.

It must be in good order and have both ability and political integrity, just like Miss China was selected.

Needless to say how excellent it is.

At this time, another flight attendant followed closely behind with a trolley and brought chewing gum and chocolate to the passengers.

This is to relieve tinnitus caused by air pressure after takeoff.

Li Jiankun received two luxury goods, which were actually made in China. He had never seen them on the market before. He peeled off a piece of chewing gum, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.

After a while, the plane finally slowly took off and reached the sky.

After flying smoothly at high altitude, white air came out of the air outlet under the luggage rack. There was sudden commotion somewhere in the cabin. The stewardess, whose feet did not touch the ground, hurriedly ran over to explain and comfort the passengers.

Tell the person that this is not smoke from the plane, but just air conditioning.

Another stewardess stood in the front aisle, looking at the passengers with a smile and said: "The journey is boring, we can read the newspaper to you, or sing or dance, what do you think?"

Good guy!

Li Jiankun was shocked, actually there is such a service?

Future airlines, aren’t you ashamed?

"Dance! Dance! Dance!"

The demand for dancing was very loud, especially for a few Waiguoren who could speak a few words of broken Chinese. They were so excited that they almost jumped up.

Immediately, the flight attendant girl swayed gracefully and performed a Dai dance. That little figure... is really beautiful!

The cabin was full of laughter and joy, so unlike later generations, Li Jiankun didn't know where to complain.

<divclass="contentadv">After watching the show, the stewardess pushed the trolley over again. On it were Zhengguanghe Lemon Soda, Hongbao Orange Water, Olympic Coke, coffee, black tea, green tea, and various teas.

There is one more essential thing, Moutai.

Li Jiankun heard that in the past two years when flying, the people from Civil Aviation dared to give each passenger a bottle...

Do you think it is a tiger or not?

It is probably true that there is no way to make back the money, so now it is provided free of charge.If you are thick-skinned enough and drink until you get off the plane, you can still drink back one bottle.

Li Jiankun didn't ask for it. He would die on this hand in his previous life. He would never drink alone, so he asked for a glass of lemon soda.

The young lady bowed and asked, "Does sir smoke?"

Li Jiankun was stunned.What, you want to invite me to smoke?

"Ah...pump."

The stewardess didn't know where to put them, so she took out two packs of cigarettes that Li Jiankun had never seen before, and said she could choose one pack.

Everyone else was confused, really?

The two packs of cigarettes are Zhonghua brand and Panda brand. They have the same specifications and are very small. According to the words on the packaging box, they are packed with five cigarettes.

Li Jiankun held it in his hand and didn't know what to say. At this moment, the smell of second-hand smoke came from the tip of his nose, and he kicked his feet to look at it.

Well, some of the guys in the front row are already chattering happily.

Let’s be real, is this reasonable?

How dangerous it is to smoke on a plane!

In future generations, I would not even think about taking a spark on the plane. Every time Li Jiankun left the station, he would not forget to go to the security checkpoint to pick up a lighter. After all, it was not easy to buy one.

Seeing him stunned, the stewardess asked with concern: "Sir, you didn't bring a fire, did you?"

After that, he took out a large match with a beautiful sticker and handed it over.

Li Jiankun: "..."

He felt that if he was still stunned, the young lady could help him light the cigarette.

Let’s just say, what kind of royal service is this?

Shocked!

Lying in the air - the space in the seat is so wide, holding a flower in his mouth, drinking a soda, and before the enjoyment is over, a new round of service begins.

Another flight attendant lady presented a melodious song "Sweet Honey".

Excellent pitch, sweet and melodious.

Li Jiankun doubted that they were all professionally trained.

Just after this round, the flight attendant lady from before left and returned. It turned out that she was preparing meals.

It is worth mentioning that my country’s first joint venture is Capital Aviation Catering Company.

The drinks on the trolley have been changed again, and Maotai is still available, with additional five-star beer, Chinese red wine, etc.

Next to it are appetizers, including various fruits, biscuits, sausages and ice cream.

There are also small desserts, fruit candies, chocolates, white rabbits and candy beans.

The staple food is Western food and Chinese food, bread with milkshake, rice with dishes.

Li Jiankun ordered a portion of potato-roasted chicken rice. It was hot and he was filled with emotion after eating it. How could he be able to live in a more prosperous life in future generations?

The journey of several hours was quick, and the plane landed once in Yangcheng. Come on -

Most of these retired Soviet-made aircraft cannot fly very far at once.

For the first time in his life, Li Jiankun felt like he hadn't had enough seats.

Not enough seats at all!

The services in the private jets of the top wealthy people are basically nothing more than this, except for the parts that are not suitable for children.

When the plane landed at Kai Tak Airport in the Hong Kong city, before the cabin door was opened, two flight attendants pushed the car over again, saying goodbye warmly to the passengers and giving them small gifts.

There are keychains, playing cards, combs, fans and airplane models for passengers to choose from.

If you insist on taking more, they will still greet you with a smile.

With tears in his eyes, Li Jiankun took a small plastic comb and planned to give it away later.

I can't bear it!

The 158 yuan spent... made him feel a little embarrassed.
