The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen rode his motorcycle back home. He had mixed feelings along the way. From yesterday to today, this was the first time he knew that someone was making money. It turned out that this was how he made money, and he made so much money so fast. He and Liu Lipole , working hard every day, getting up early and working in the dark for a year, is not worth a fraction of what others do.

Back home, Jin Lili and Liu Ligan, each with a chair and their feet on the railing, were sitting in the corridor bragging. They saw Zhang Chen coming up with a gloomy expression. Liu Ligan asked:

"What's wrong? Did you get hit again?"

Zhang Chen leaned on the railing and told them his feelings. Jin Lili shouted: "What's this, your annual income? Damn, our company makes more money from one business than our bearing factory." It’s not surprising that more than a hundred people earn more in a year.”

"Yes, don't feel unbalanced, and don't be jealous. Now, we are hard-working bees, and others are the queen bees. We are busy ants, and others are the queen ants. We are at the lowest end of the food chain. Do you know?"

Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and continued: "But whether it is a queen bee or a queen ant, they all grow up from little bees and little ants. In short, we will also become kings one day. At that time, your daily time Even if you use it to fart, the money will fly towards you automatically without any delay."

"This pole has a high level of consciousness. For people with such a level of consciousness, it is God's law not to make a fortune." Jin Lili said, "But busy ants and worker bees make me hungry."

Liu Ligan slapped his thigh and shouted: "Haha, I know a good place. I will take you there. Let's eat the Dongyang Hotpot made by locals from Hainan."

"Don't you have to go to the crater to eat Dongyang Hotpot?" Jin Lili asked.

"No, it's on Boai Road. I saw a lot of people when I passed by that day, and they looked delicious." Liu Ligan shouted.

When they got downstairs, Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen rushed to ride a motorcycle. Zhang Chen refused, and Liu Ligan cursed, "How about I sit at the back and hold your girlfriend?"

Jin Lili giggled. Zhang Chen was right after thinking about it and gave him the key. Liu Lili was at the front and Jin Lili was in the middle. Zhang Chen sat at the last one. He stretched out his hands and grabbed Liu Lili's belt. Jin Lili surrounded her hands.

Liu Lipole patted the motorcycle seat and shouted, "Isn't there a belt on it? Do you have to hold me?"

Zhang Chen ignored him and didn't let go.

Liu Ligan scolded: "I was already hungry, but you choked me like this, and I almost fainted from hunger."

Zhang Chen also scolded: "If you're hungry, don't be nagging and leave quickly."

Liu Li pushed the gas pedal, and three people and a motorcycle rushed forward with a bang.

They arrived at Boai Road and stopped in front of a group of low old houses. The roadside was full of motorcycles and bicycles. Liu Ligan gathered these cars together, made a space available, inserted his motorcycle and parked it. .

Liu Ligan led them for more than ten steps and arrived at a room with a shabby facade. This facade was about four or five meters wide, with two-thirds occupied by a partition whose upper half was made of glass. The lower third is an aisle.

Jin Lili looked up and saw that this store didn't even have a name. Jin Lili asked doubtfully: "Zhangzi, you brought us to this shabby place, what are we going to eat?"

Liu Ligan smiled and said, "You'll find out later."

They walked to the glass compartment. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili were startled. They saw baskets of mutton on a row of wooden shelves inside the compartment. There were more than a dozen baskets. The white inside the glass On the tiled counter, there were two large aluminum basins, one containing marinated duck intestines, and the other containing pieces of duck blood. Apart from that, there were no other dishes.

The glass partition was crowded with people. Liu Ligan ordered five kilograms of mutton, a portion of duck intestines and a portion of duck blood. The people inside were writing on the paper while shouting in Hainanese dialect. , probably asking other people to chop the mutton.

Liu Ligan paid the money and took the note. The words on the note were flying and phoenixes, which were harder to read than the doctor's. None of them could see clearly what was written.

Liu Ligan led the two of them inside. After passing through the facade, Zhang Chen and Jin Lili were startled. They saw in front of them a courtyard as big as three or four basketball courts. A big banyan tree, lush and green, covered the entire yard.

Under the banyan tree, there are more than a hundred wooden tables. The tables are very short, only as high as a kindergarten child's table. They are small, small square tables, surrounded by four small bamboo chairs. In the middle of the table, there is a clay-fired charcoal style table. There are large black casseroles on top of the stove, but the lids of the casseroles are made of aluminum and have been bumped and bumped.

More than half of the tables in the courtyard were already occupied. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili, judging from the faces of these people and the buzzing in their ears, knew that these were locals from Hainan. They searched carefully and found that they were really... The table that looked like a foreigner was not found either.

Liu Ligan told them that it was still early and in half an hour there would be no seats here and they would have to queue up.

Liu Li handed the note on his hand to a little girl standing at the entrance of the passage. The little girl led them inside and led them to a table. Without saying a word, she turned around and left alone.

The three of them sat down. In addition to the stove and casserole, there were also a bottle of light soy sauce and a bottle of vinegar on the table. Next to it was an aluminum bowl with a dozen small green oranges in it. In front of the four seats, there were four Just the same pitted aluminum bowl and four pairs of chopsticks.

Although the table is short, with the stove and casserole, it is at a comfortable height. It seems that its shortness is not unreasonable.

After a while, a man came over with a big Sprite bottle. He didn't say anything, but just motioned for them to sit farther away. The three people moved their chairs back, and the man picked up the casserole and put it on the table. At their feet, and then opening the Sprite bottle, Zhang Chen and the others smelled a strong smell of gasoline.

The man sprinkled a little gasoline on the charcoal in the stove, then lit a match and threw it into the stove. With a bang, the charcoal inside was lit.

He picked up the casserole, sat back on the stove, and walked away with the Sprite bottle.

After a while, a woman came over, carrying a plastic bucket in one hand and a horse spoon in the other. She walked up to them and without speaking, she knocked on the empty seat with the horse spoon. In front of the aluminum bowl, Liu Lipole shook his head and said to her: "There is no one."

The woman clicked the three-horse spoon and filled three of their bowls with half a bowl of yellow and sticky dipping sauce. Jin Lili shouted, "What is this?"

The woman ignored her, turned around and went somewhere else.

After a while, two little girls came over. One of them was holding a large plate of duck intestines and a large plate of duck blood. They placed it on their table, then opened the lid of the casserole. Inside the casserole was a pot of duck intestines and duck blood. The milky white soup contains angelica, astragalus, dangshen, wolfberry and red dates, as well as a ball of grass roots. Another little girl slid a pot of marinated mutton into the casserole.

The two little girls turned to leave. Liu Ligang grabbed one of them, pointed at the ball of grass roots in the casserole and asked, "What is this?"

"Courageous!" After the little girl said this, she closed the lid of the casserole, threw Liu Ligan away and walked away.

Zhang Chen laughed and said: "Damn, it's so fierce. It feels like I'm in Liangshan."

Jin Lili also asked suspiciously: "No one in this place speaks?"

Liu Ligan thought for a moment and said, "Probably the business is too good and the place is too noisy. If I talk, my voice will become hoarse in about a day."

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili thought about it and found that this was probably the case.

"Gangzi, don't order anything to drink?" Zhang Chen looked at the table and remembered.

"This store doesn't sell wine or drinks. You have to buy them yourself." Liu Ligan said.

"Then where can we buy it?" Zhang Chen asked curiously. Is there any hotel in the world that doesn't sell alcohol?

Liu Lipole waved his hand and shouted: "Did you see it? It's all around."

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen open windows in the short houses on both sides of the yard. Many people were buying cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and various vegetables through these windows.

Zhang Chen suddenly realized that this is really harmonious. The business of this store is so good, but if he does not sell wine and vegetables, he is leaving other businesses to his neighbors. When the neighbors make money, they will naturally He won't have any problem with the noise in the courtyard, and he won't be jealous of the owner of this shop.

To say that people in Haicheng are stupid and lazy is because they don't understand. In their slow pace and state of life, there is a lot of wisdom for survival dormant, but you just haven't realized it.

Liu Ligan's BB camera rang. He looked at it and told Zhang Chen and the others, "It's Li Yong. I'll go back and buy some wine."
