Chapter 53: Joy

In February, the flavor of the New Year in Beijing is getting stronger and stronger.

The Spring Festival in this era is a very happy thing, only in these days, children can get a new clothes, adults can also relax, the whole family gets together for a good meal.

It's good, but it's nothing, the food in the eighties is still very seasonal, what to eat, unlike later, you can also nibble on watermelon, strawberries and persimmons in winter.

Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li had just finished shopping, holding a paper bag with a few large sticks of sugar in their hands.

The scientific name is stove sugar, and it is provided to the king of the stove on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and it is actually eaten by people. It is made of yellow rice and malt, and it is very sticky, and the long strip is called Kanto sugar, which is large sugar, and the oblate type is called sugar melon.

"This big candy is really expensive, a few pieces cost a dollar. ”

Chen Xiaoxu was wearing a big cotton jacket with flowers, wearing gloves, and he was still shivering from the cold, "I bought it at home last year, and it was only a dime a piece, hey, do you eat it over there?"

"We don't call it big sugar, we call it hemp candy, it's all a big piece, and when we buy it, we knock it down with a chisel. ”

Zhang Li was wearing a military coat and a thunder (anti-harmony) front hat, and the ears of the hat were cocked left and right, and the image was wooden at all.

She saw that Chen Xiaoxu was not freezing, so she took off her hat and put it on her sister's head, "Look at you, a northerner is more afraid of the cold than me, and he is still in poor health, so he usually asks you to run and is lazy." ”

"I'm tired of running, I'm most afraid of getting tired. ”

Chen Xiaoxu only felt that his head sank, and the heat was detained inside, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's really Sister Bao, it's the best for me." ”

"Don't be sweet, when he comes back to see if you can run, I won't help you talk at that time. ”

"Don't use him to press me, I'm not afraid of him. ”

"Yo!"

"Humph!"

Both of them wrinkled their noses at the same time.

In these years, outside the second ring road of the capital, it is called a wild place, not to mention this boundary, which is almost to the suburbs. They walked for a long time before they saw a dilapidated tube building, which was the residence of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

They went to the south of the Yangtze River in September last year and took a lot of exterior scenes, mainly in the ancient gardens of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as the Dianshan Lake Scenic Area in the magic capital.

Construction began in 1980 and was modeled after the Grand View Garden, which was completed in 1988 and renamed the Grand View Garden in 1991 – a heavy photographic work that took place before the construction of the Grand View Garden.

The crew ran outside for half a year, just returned to Beijing, and rented a basketball court in the Xiangshan Dry Rest House to build a studio to shoot indoor scenes, 90,000 yuan a year.

Funds are already very tight, and they can't afford to live in a guest house or hotel, so Ren Dahui entrusted his relationship and found such a tube building.

There are four or five people in a room, one toilet for men and one toilet for women. In winter, when the north wind blows, whirring is the same as a ghost, heating depends on a small coal stove, one in a house, there is a play every day, get up early in the morning and go to the studio with the car, and if there is no play, they will stay in the house and stay in the house.

Here is the background, since the reform and opening up, the country has experienced many inflations, including one in 1985.

The inflation rate is 8.8% and prices have risen. The worst was in 1994, when prices rose by 21.7 per cent.

The reasons for this are, first, the fiscal deficit, second, the need for large-scale investment in all aspects, and third, the increase in the income of the common people. The easiest way to do this is to print money.

So if you look at the 80s, if you compare the prices of 80 years with the prices of 89 years, they are completely two worlds.

said that Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li went back to the tube building and were in time for the afternoon meeting. There are more than 100 people in the crew now, and there is no place at all, so they go from house to house.

"We will have a few days off, and we will start working on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and those who have a play will come back first, and those who have no drama can stay for a few more days. The train tickets are all kept, and the crew will be reimbursed as usual. ”

Ren Dahui stood in the room and specifically called the name, "Zhang Li, the first stage after the year is all your play." Although you have been with the group for half a year, you don't feel that you have improved much, so take advantage of this time to ponder and ponder. ”

"This is Mr. Zhou Ruchang's phone number, if you don't understand anything, please ask for advice. Wang Fulin also handed over a card.

"Don't worry, I'll find my form as soon as possible. ”

After the two left, Zhang Li pursed her lips, and then looked at the shooting schedule.

There is its own drama on the sixth day of the new year, but there are seven or eight days left before the New Year. Her family is in Bashu, and counting the time to take the train back and forth, she can't stay long at all.

What's more, the role of Baochai really has a lot of things I don't understand.

"Zhang Li, it's time to eat!"

Chen Xiaoxu suddenly pushed the door in, saw her stunned in place, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking about whether I can go home for the Spring Festival. ”

"Of course I have to go back, I have to be with my family during the Spring Festival. ”

"But I'm too busy right now......"

She pondered for a while and said, "I'll call my mother in a moment and say I'm not going back." ”

"Can your parents agree?" Chen Xiaoxu felt incredible.

"If I explain it to them, they will understand me. ”

Zhang Li showed a very independent side and quickly made a decision.

When Chen Xiaoxu heard this, he became entangled, "Everyone is gone for the New Year, and you are left alone...... Well, I want to accompany you, but there's something I have to go back to......"

She is a family lover and likes to be with her parents, so she hesitated: "Then I, I'll come back to accompany you in the fourth year of junior high school." ”

"Hey, no, you can accompany your uncle and aunt, I'll be fine. ”

"It's okay, that's it. ”

..................

"Put it here, put it this way, against the wall, hey, yes!"

"That doesn't have to be handled gently, it's a fake flower, just hang it on the window!"

"Oh, be careful, the glass is real. ”

In the messy house, the Xu family moved tables and chairs, hung flowers and wiped glass, and was busy decorating the restaurant.

For more than a month, Xu Fei has been running the business of opening a store, and found two bungalows, the location is OK, the outside is more spacious, just to set the table, and the inside is smaller, just to be used as a kitchen.

Due to the limited conditions, it is impossible to completely follow the style of later generations, but it is also as refreshing as possible.

Entering the door is a curved ruler-shaped counter, with a wall behind it, and several rows of shelves nailed to the wall for drinking and drinking. On the other side are five tables with menus and small bowls of sauce, vinegar and chili peppers.

There was a stove in the middle of the house, and the barrel of the stove was high, and it turned around and went out of the window. The walls are also newly painted, and the four white floors are on the ground, except for the peculiar smell.

There is a stove in the kitchen inside, one large and one small.

In these years, there are few food resources and varieties, and if you sell everything, it will be a headache to buy it. The simpler the business scope, the better, Xu Fei wandered between dumplings and wontons for a long time, and finally chose wontons.

This thing is easy to make, the materials are simple, hot soup with water in winter, and some noodles and cold salad in summer, which is very suitable for starting.

Half a year's rent, decoration, labor, really not more than 1,000 yuan. Damn, Xu Fei is all kinds of lemons, 1,000 yuan to open a wonton shop, where to reason!!

A sign had been hung on the door, covered with a red cloth. Looking at the Chinese New Year, everything is ready, just waiting for the opening after the Spring Festival.

Zhang Guiqin squirmed at the beginning, but she was really busy and more active than anyone else. A middle-aged dancer, who has no worries about food and clothing, her husband hurts people, and her son is angry, so she doesn't have any thoughts except for hugging her grandson.

This kind of person is easy to get bored, especially if he can't get on the stage, and his heart will slowly disappear.

Now, I suddenly had a new idea, and the whole person seemed to come to life, with a big package, and he personally named the name of the store, which was written by Shan Tianfang.

Originally, I wanted to call it Jixiang Wonton, but Xu Fei decisively stopped it, saying some difficult words, such as "infringement", "report", "404", etc., which caused my parents to laugh, and the store was full of happy air inside and outside.

Later, Xu Fei contributed one, which was catchy and impressive.

"Shelato wonton shop. ”
