There is an eternal truth, which is true everywhere people put down their dishes.

When you get mixed up, don't say that strangers will compliment you.

Even former acquaintances, those who didn't think much of you in the first place, will not be an exception.

It was the last day of 1980.

After buying the hat, Liu Weijing looked at his new watch, and it was time for lunch.

She and Zhang Shihui went out of the mall to prepare for dinner.

It is said that near Xidan, there are many restaurants.

There are not only well-known restaurants such as Quyuan Restaurant, Yuhuatai, Tongchun Garden, Hongbin Building, and Sichuan Hotel.

There are also Qingfeng Bun Shop and Yingchun Dumpling Restaurant, two very famous snack bars.

In particular, the level of consumption in this year is also very low.

Generally, as long as you have a few dollars in your pocket, it is basically enough to treat you in a big restaurant.

For example, like the mutton skewers with big skewers in Xiyuan Restaurant, but they are just a dime and a skewer.

The "burning two winters" of Tongheju are only eight cents.

If you have a penny of five cents, you can order a yellow croaker in a regular restaurant.

And for two people, as long as they scrape together five or six yuan, they can eat a standard Western meal in a Moscow restaurant, including beetroot soup, braised chicken, salad and bread.

Even if it is a famous restaurant like Quanjude, the signature dish Beijing roast duck is only eight yuan.

Therefore, in terms of Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing's economic conditions, they naturally don't need to think too much about it, and go straight to the big restaurant, but it's over.

But the only problem is that the service industry in Beijing is still in the stage of being overwhelmed by the impact of the population returning to the city.

Eating is not a matter of spending money.

Even in a place where restaurants like Xidan gather, even though it's still a working day.

But if you go to any restaurant for dinner, you still can't eat without waiting for an hour.

To put it mildly, there are more people standing and waiting for a seat than there are people sitting down to eat and drink.

Look, Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing entered Quyuan Restaurant and Yuhuatai successively, and they were frightened by the overcrowding inside.

That's no problem.

couldn't eat for a while, so the two had to go to the "Righteousness" to line up and buy two catties of the most famous "sugar fried chestnuts" in the capital.

First make do with grinding your teeth, in order not to let your mouth sit idle, and then hold hot chestnuts in your hand and look for them while eating.

Fortunately, in these years, the average person's time is quite tight, and there is not so much leisure and leisure to eat.

By the time they came out of Tongchun Garden and slipped into Hongbin Building, the meal had almost passed, and the situation had eased a lot.

At this time, when I went in again, there were few owners standing on stools waiting for a seat in this Jinmen-style halal restaurant.

So they stayed and found a place to eat.

You must know that the conditions of restaurants are generally limited in this year, and there are no single rooms in the whole capital.

The so-called private seat is actually a place where a large round table is separated by a screen.

And such a table, if no one has a seat, it can still allow individual customers to share the table.

So in the end, Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing found a seat with a lot of space at such a large round table.

Why is there a lot of space?

Because it can be seen that this is the original position of the three people, but there are two stools that have been taken away by someone.

So there is enough space for the two of them to sit, just make up a stool.

So Zhang Shihui didn't talk nonsense, and asked Liu Weijing to sit down first, while chicly beckoning the waiter to bring the menu.

I ordered a mandarin duck fish curd, a coriander popping pill, and a honey-like one, plus two bowls of rice and a liter of beer.

After paying the bill, he went to find a stool himself.

Don't say it, it's really evil, Zhang Shihui turned around, but she didn't find it.

There is no extra stool, and there is a gap for others to occupy it.

No, he saw a master sitting on one stool, with his feet on another, looking left and right and waiting for others.

Maybe because he has been with Ning Weimin for a long time, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Zhang Shihui's brain has become quite active now.

He was unwilling, and as soon as he pondered it, the ghost idea came.

In the spirit of harming others and not benefiting himself, after he walked over, he first quietly threw a dime on the ground to the left of this person.

Then he slapped him on the left shoulder, pretending to be a good guy.

"Hey, the money is gone."

"Huh?" looked down, he was really greedy.

Without much thought, "thank you, thank you......"

As a result, he took advantage of the work of removing his feet, turning around, and bowing his head to pick up the money.

Zhang Shihui took away a chair, absolutely clean and crisp.

And when he turned around again and found that the stool was missing, he was instantly dumbfounded.

That's it, Zhang Shihui is proud.

He hugged back the chair and sat next to Liu Weijing, and blew it, which was simply happy.

I didn't even bother to taste the coriander popping pill that had just been served and was best eaten while it was hot.

But there is a saying that people are not as good as heaven.

Zhang Shihui never expected that the mark on the stool he brought over was very obvious, and he had not sat for two minutes before he was found by the party who lost the stool.

The stools in the shop are all ashwagandha, and this one of his stools has been repaired, and it is the only one in the store that has two stool legs replaced with red pine.

was chatting with Liu Weijing, Zhang Shihui felt that someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, and an unfamiliar voice called him angrily.

"Boy, I said you didn't hurt it? Sensei nonsense, hurry up and give it back to us. ”

"Who are you, what nonsense are you......"

Of course, Zhang Shihui quit, and she was going to be hypocritical when she turned around.

Unexpectedly, life is often unpredictable and full of coincidences.

When he turned around, he made a face to face with the other party.

Good guys, both of them were stunned at the same time!

Dare to look at each other familiarly.

"Hey, you, you...... Zhang Shihui, right?"

The other party opened his mouth first.

In a daze, Zhang Shihui also blurted out the other party's name.

"You...... Is it Li Haisheng?"

"That's right, hey, it's called a coincidence! I can't think of it, I can't think of it, how did I meet you here?"

The other party really is.

Zhang Shihui completely remembered that Li Haisheng, who had a black mole on his brow in front of him, was a transfer student from their class in the third year of junior high school.

This kid's father is the section chief of the Municipal Food Bureau, and he is a big cow in the class.

It is a "nobleman" who needs to be treated differently by teachers and even principals.

Like once Zhang Shihui and Li Haisheng were on duty in a group, this kid ran away directly after school.

Zhang Shihui also had no intention of doing it seriously, so he made do with it once.

Unexpectedly, because the blackboard was not wiped clean the next day, Zhang Shihui was criticized by the teacher and was punished for redoing.

But Li Haisheng didn't do anything, and made fun of him for several days afterwards.

A privilege like Li Haisheng's unique one was carried out almost from the time he transferred to another school until he graduated from high school.

So in the whole class, few people have a good impression of this "Li Yanei".

But then again, no matter what, after all, they are classmates, and the two of them "collided" because of the stool.

So whether it is out of favor or calming things, Zhang Shihui always has to respect Genyan and say a perfunctory sentence with him.

And this handing of cigarettes was different in the past.

You must know that what Zhang Shihui took out was the "three five" that he had just bought from the friendship store, a box of foreign exchange coupons for one piece.

Li Haisheng is a knowledgeable master, and he was surprised as soon as he took the cigarette.

"Ouch, buddy, that's enough for cow B. All the foreign cigarettes are smoking?"

Then he glanced at the dishes on Zhang Shihui's table, and his expression moved again.

"Such a big show, buddy, that's a good mix! Where do you work?"

Zhang Shihui took out a match and struck it, lighting a cigarette for Li Haisheng.

"Don't mention my work, it's definitely not as good as you......"

Li Haisheng exhaled a puff of smoke and shook his head.

"I'm bored, look at your outfit, it's much more decent than me......"

Zhang Shihui lit it herself, and the match was extinguished.

"Listen to me. I can't work, but I have extra money. I have a way to get some good goods, home appliances, cigarettes and alcohol......"

"Really?" Li Haisheng was even more surprised. "Don't blow it, can you get the four-horned Sanyo?"

Zhang Shihui smiled confidently.

"Blow? But if you can get it, the price must be a little more expensive than the market. ”

"How much more expensive? Is it original?" Li Haisheng was more serious.

"It's worth 20 percent. Original, of course. What? You want it?"

Zhang Shihui asked casually, but she didn't take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, Li Haisheng was completely excited.

"Of course, I do. No kidding, how about getting one for me? But we're old classmates, can't you give me two percent?"

Well, that's it, the matter of the stool was thrown aside unconsciously, and no one mentioned it again, but the two of them talked about business.

Soon, they reached an agreement at a price of one percent higher, and agreed to pay for it with one hand and deliver it with one hand on Sunday.

For this reason, Li Haisheng happily bought two bottles of soda and gave them to Zhang Shihui's table.

Zhang Shihui is also very generous, and the box of "Three Five" that she just opened was all in Li Haisheng's hands.

Look at what this is all about.

The two classmates, who had never spoken a few words in school, seemed to be close friends at this time.

When Zhang Shihui took Liu Weijing to finish eating, and left the restaurant first, Li Haisheng chased him from the table and sent a few steps.

At the door of the restaurant, he held Zhang Shihui's hand and asked for it.

"Dude, bother. The key is my girlfriend, she is not worried that the original machine is not easy to buy, so she urges me to hurry. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry......"

"Don't worry, I'll do it, yes. ”

Zhang Shihui followed and teased. "You're so funny, you have your dad. Is this still in a hurry?"

It's okay not to say this, but it completely provoked Li Haisheng's complaints.

"Ouch, my buddy, it's not as good as it was then, the Food Bureau has long since lost its popularity, and there is no other benefit except for getting some worthless local products. ”

"I'm still thinking about how to transfer jobs and how to go to foreign trade. It's a pity that my father's words don't work, and people need foreign languages there, so it's hard to do it......"

"Damn, this is the thirty years of Hedong and the thirty years of Hexi, what kind of world ......?"

Zhang Shihui didn't bother to listen to this, waved his hand and turned around with Liu Weijing to leave.

"Okay, don't say more, you can wait for my call with peace of mind. I'll contact you as soon as the things arrive. ”

But just like that, Li Haisheng still shouted a few more times at the backs of Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing.

"Thanks! What...... Do you want to grind sesame oil a little? This thing is done, I'll give you a few catties ......."

"Hey, if the phone is not good, you have to go directly to our house to find me, anyway, I won't go out for a few days, just wait for you." ”

"Do you remember where my family lives?" Building 5 of the Food Bureau Compound......

Then the kid hugged his arms and shivered, and then ran back to Hongbin Building.

It can be seen how much attention is attached to it and how eager it is.
