The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen, Jin Lili and Liu Ligan rode bicycles to Tailong City. In Tailong City, there are snacks and small restaurants from all over the country. Jin Lili said, it’s a pity that there are no ones in Yongcheng. I want to eat the kind in Yongcheng. Extremely spicy food.

They chose a Hunan restaurant that seemed to be the spiciest. When ordering, Jin Lili told the waiter to ask the chef to make it spicier.

"Our food is already very spicy," the waiter said.

"That's a little spicier than your hottest one." Jin Lili said.

The waiter walked away with a smile. Jin Lili told the two of them that the food in this damn place in Haicheng is delicious, but unfortunately there are no spicy dishes. That day I ran to the kitchen of a hotel and took a few yellow rice dishes. I asked the chef to stir-fry that kind of bell pepper for me. Guess what the result was?

"How is it?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Halfway through the cooking, the chef threw away the spoon and ran to the side and choked. He said he couldn't stand it. In the end, I cooked the dish myself." Jin Lili said with a smile.

When the food arrived, the waiter stood aside and refused to leave. After they started eating, the waiter smiled and asked, "How is it? Is it spicy enough?"

Jin Lili nodded while eating, it was okay, just a little bit worse.

The waiter sighed.

Liu Lizhan looked at her and asked strangely: "Why are you sighing?"

The waiter looked around, then bent down and said to them in a low voice: "The chef has said that he will kill you and put in a lot of chili peppers."

All three people laughed, and Zhang Chen said, "Then let him continue to torture us to death."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him." The waiter walked away happily.

After dinner, they went shopping. When they passed a shoe store, Liu Ligan looked at the leather shoes on his feet. He had washed the floor every day and the shoes were all broken. They went inside and Liu Ligan took a fancy to a pair of leather shoes. , tried it, and was very satisfied. The store offered a price of 350, and the three of them took turns to pay back 220. When they couldn't go any further, Liu Ligan said forget it, and I didn't like it very much.

Zhang Chen knew that it was not that Liu Ligan didn't like it, but that he didn't have enough money in his pocket, so he told the store to put it in, I want it.

Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and cursed: "Your shoes are not cracked. What shoes did you buy?"

After leaving the store, Zhang Chen handed the shoes to Liu Ligan and said to him, "These are for you. Isn't today a celebration of your official becoming a journalist?"

Liu Ligan blushed and refused to ask for anything. Jin Lili scolded: "We are all our own people. No matter how you pretend, no one knows you have no money."

Liu Ligan chuckled, and then took the shoes. Jin Lili shouted: "Put them on, put them on. I don't want those old shoes. If you don't hold on to these new shoes, you will die from pain tomorrow."

Liu Ligan thought it made sense, so he stood on the side of the road and changed his shoes.

When passing by a movie theater, there was a screening of "Mighty Dragon" inside, and the three of them hurried in. Although the movie was actually projected on a DVD player, and the definition was much worse than ordinary movies, it was still in English with Chinese subtitles, and the three of them hurried in. It was the first time I watched a movie without dubbing. I was not used to it and it was very difficult to watch, but I was still stimulated by the plot and scenes of the story.

While watching the movie, Liu Ligan lowered his voice and asked curiously: "Have you noticed why so many people put their feet on the stools when watching movies here?"

"These are all Hainanese," Jin Lili said. "That's what Hainanese are like. Even if they go to the most upscale hotels to eat, they all like to put their feet on the stools."

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan suddenly realized it. Liu Ligan also tried to put his feet on the stool and told them, don't tell them, this is really comfortable. Zhang Chen was curious and gave it a try. He also agreed that it was comfortable.

"Put it down, put it down, it's so ugly. You are from mainland China, why should you imitate Hainanese?" Jin Lili scolded, and then the two of them put their feet down.

The three of them rode their bicycles home and parked the car in the yard. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili went upstairs. Liu Ligan walked toward the door. Zhang Chen asked what were you doing?

"Watch a movie." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen asked curiously: "Didn't you just watch the movie?"

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Li walked toward the door without looking back, and said with a smile, "I'm not going to watch a movie, so why don't I come up to see you?"

Jin Lili hit Zhang Chen, and the two of them giggled and hurried upstairs.

It was already past ten o'clock. Liu Ligan arrived outside the door. The stool at the door was empty. Liu Ligan sat down and smoked while taking off his new leather shoes and rubbing his feet. The new shoes were still a little bit numb. foot.

After finishing a cigarette, Liu Ligan saw Jianqiang and a man walking this way. He quickly got up and walked in the opposite direction.

Liu Ligan went to the open-air cinema that Jianqiang mentioned. They were showing all-night movies, five movies in a row, no tickets were allowed, and it cost five yuan a ticket. You could go in and watch at any time.

Liu Ligan bought a ticket and went in. He found that it was just the courtyard of a work unit, with rows of chairs and a screen pulled up at the end of the open space. He was just like them in Yongcheng when they were children, carrying stools and running there. It's the same as watching movies in the yards of other state-owned enterprises.

Liu Ligan found a chair in the third row and sat down. He looked at the people around him and put their feet on the chairs. Liu Ligan took off his shoes and put his feet on the chairs.

A Hong Kong martial arts movie was playing on the screen. Because he came in in the middle, he was confused. Liu Ligan couldn’t even tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. He felt drowsy while watching it, and then he actually got dizzy. Fell asleep on his knees.

People around him were ups and downs. People kept leaving and entering. When a new movie started again, many people applauded. Liu Ligan woke up and saw the new movie started, and started watching it. After watching for more than half an hour, this movie was really boring, and it was far inferior to the "Mighty Dragon" I watched before.

Liu Ligan looked at the time. It was past twelve o'clock. Liu Ligan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Jianqiang's words, "It won't be that long." He felt that it was almost time and he could go home.

Liu Ligang put his feet down and went to put on his shoes, but he couldn't find them. He fiddled around with his feet, and it seemed that he only found one slipper. Liu Ligang quickly took out a match from his pocket, bent down, and struck. Match did not see his new leather shoes, but only saw a pair of old flip-flops in front of his chair.

Liu Ligan lamented in his heart, it's over, someone must have used these flip-flops to replace his new leather shoes!

The fire from the match burned Liu Ligan's fingers, and he quickly threw the match away. When he lit the second stick, someone around him cursed in Hainanese: "Fall Ding!"

Although Liu Ligan doesn't understand Hainanese, he knows the meaning of this word, which is similar to the way mainlanders use Mandarin to call him "half-brained" or "animal".

Liu Ligan shouted loudly: "Call your mother!"

More people yelled back, and Liu Ligan finally didn't have the courage to light the third match, so he had to put on his flip-flops and walked out.

Liu Ligan returned home. The house was still the same as before, with the door open and the lights dark. Zhang Chen heard the voice and asked:

"came back?"

Liu Ligan turned on the light and shouted: "Look at my new leather shoes!"

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili both sat up from the bed and looked at him in confusion when they saw him wearing a pair of flip-flops.

"Mom, I watched a bad movie and my leather shoes were replaced by slippers!" Liu Ligan scolded.

Zhang Chen was still confused and didn't know what he was talking about. Jin Lili understood and asked, "Are you imitating Hainanese again?"

Liu Ligan stood there awkwardly, neither saying yes nor no.

"Idiot, you have to learn how to do it!" Jin Lili giggled, "Look at the movie theater, why do those people only put one foot on the stool and only change to the other when they are tired? Is it because they are afraid that their shoes will be damaged? Steal it, if you only have one shoe on the ground, who will steal it from you?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Liu Ligan complained.

"How did I know you like to imitate Hainanese people so much, haha!" Jin Lili laughed, and Zhang Chen followed, laughing too hard.
