After talking to Ji Ling on the phone, Zhang Yunqi went to the vegetable market, bought some food and returned home to cook.

It wasn't until it was almost ready that the doorbell rang.

Ji Ling is here.

As soon as she entered the door, she stared at the place with wide eyes and looked at it, and she was in good spirits, and finally she found a "Happy Family" starring Stephen Chow, turned up the TV sound very loudly, and sat on the sofa to watch it with relish.

Zhang Yunqi took out all the snacks at home for Ji Ling to eat, as well as some local specialties brought by his eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng from home, sweet potato strips, oil cakes, etc., Ji Ling, who was sitting on the sofa with his knees, looked at Zhang Yunqi who was busy before and after, suddenly smiled and squinted, and said, "I feel at home here." ”

Zhang Yunqi knew that Ji Ling's parents were career maniacs, and they were not at home from morning to night, and Ji Ling lived alone in a big villa as if she was staying in a high-end hotel, and she was relatively lacking in family affection, so she liked to go to Yunxi Village every summer vacation.

It's poor, but it's full of humanity.

Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "Then it's okay to come to me on weekends." ”

Ji Ling thought for a moment, nodded and said okay.

Zhang Yunqi said: "Then I'll make you something to eat." ”

Back in the kitchen, Zhang Yunqi pounded for about ten minutes, and then brought out two bowls of fish meal, and now he entertains guests at home, and all of them are invited to eat Zhang Jiqi Fengdu fish meal.

After the fishmeal was served, Ji Ling looked at the layer of red oil floating in the bowl and said, "Why do you put so many chili peppers?"

Zhang Yunqi knew that Ji Ling didn't eat spicy, and he had tried to put a lot of chili peppers as little as possible, but he couldn't put them away, first of all, the fishy smell of the fish was heavy, and secondly, he felt that Qi Fengdu fish powder would have a unique taste without chili peppers.

The eating habits of Shonan people are afraid of not being spicy, and the area around Jiangchuan City is the most spicy area in the whole of Shonan, from the heavy and spicy Qifengdu fish meal can become the daily breakfast of Jiangchuan citizens in later generations, it can be seen, breakfast, the stomach has not eased up, most people like to eat light, but Jiangchuan people have to eat spicy, no matter what they eat, they feel uncomfortable without chili.

Zhang Yunqi said: "My family is going to open a noodle shop on the street in front of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and sell this fish meal, I know you don't eat spicy, so I just put a little seasoning, because this fish meal is called Qi Fengdu fish powder, no chili pepper is not very delicious, I don't know if you have eaten it, why don't you taste it first?

Ji Ling smiled: "No need, I can eat it." ”

Zhang Yunqi handed her the chopsticks: "Then eat." ”

Ji Ling has a very small appetite, every time she goes out to eat with her, Zhang Yunqi sees that she only eats a little, and she eats very slowly, and she doesn't like to talk when she eats, but what Zhang Yunqi didn't expect was that she ate a bowl of Qifengdu fish powder for more than 20 minutes, and finally ate it all, her little face was full of sweat, and she opened her red mouth and said: "Water, get me water, it's so spicy!"

Zhang Yunqi got up with a smile and poured her a cup of warm Longjing tea, Ji Ling took a sip of it, and then exhaled with his delicate cheeks and said: "Although it is very spicy, it tastes really good, and when your noy shop opens, I will have breakfast in your noodle shop every day in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Ji Ling squinted his eyes and smiled: "Xiao Zhang, with our relationship, you won't charge me money, right?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Then how can it be, friends belong to friends, business is business, and the money that should be collected still has to be collected." ”

Ji Ling said: "How can you find a girlfriend after you are so stingy?"

Zhang Yun was happy: "That's a matter for the future, now I want to find a girlfriend, my mother will disagree, by the way, there's nothing to do in the afternoon, how about we go shopping? I want to buy a BP machine." ”

Ji Ling said okay.

After cleaning up the scraps, the two went out shopping.

However, when it came to shopping, Zhang Yunqi only took Ji Ling to buy two cups of hot coffee, walked around Ximen Street casually, and found a nearby store selling BP machines.

The owner of the BP machine shop is a woman in her thirties who is full of charm, and her ability to observe words and emotions is very strong, she glanced at Ji Ling's women's watch, and knew that this girl was the child of a rich family, so she enthusiastically introduced various models of BP machines to Zhang Yunqi and Ji Ling, and finally she pointed to a black BB machine and smiled: "Young man, this Motorola digital machine is very cost-effective, as long as two thousand three, you can also play digital flirt with your girlfriend if you have nothing to do." ”

In the early 90s, where there was no WeChat and no mobile phones, young people were extremely lacking in ways to talk about love in the air, but later, as BB machines became more and more popular, they gradually developed a set of tricks to convey love with numbers, 5201314, 53880 and other romantic messages, relying on numbers to capture each other's hearts.

But that's not the point, the point is that Ji Ling heard the word "girlfriend" and had a bit of a big opinion, wrinkled his delicate nose and said, "Boss, this stupid and short guy next to me, where is the girlfriend?"

Zhang Yunqi almost vomited blood: "Where did I get it?"

Ji Ling rolled his eyes and smiled: "Anywhere, you are a big handful." ”

The female boss was a little embarrassed.

She thought to herself that the girlfriend I was talking about was not you, but this girl said that, probably not.

She hurriedly changed the subject with a smile and said, "Young man, what do you think of this Motorola digital machine?

Zhang Yunqi waved his hand and said, "No need, you are busy, I'll take a look at the rest myself." ”

Zhang Yunqi and Ji Ling picked it up along the counter, the digital machine was inconvenient, he planned to buy a Hanxian, but the price of all kinds of Hanxian BP machines was not cheap, there was no less than three thousand, converted into the value of later generations, it was almost thirty or forty thousand, and ordinary people were reluctant to buy it at all, and most of them were foreign goods.

In fact, this is also a helpless thing, in the current era, the market share of BP machine foreign brands occupy 99%, and the domestic BP machine can not be sold at all, quality is one thing, but the main reason is that the Chinese people at that time were keen on foreign goods, especially admired foreign flattery, the most obvious point of performance is that at that time English fever, abroad fever.

It was a strange trend in the early 90s.

In those days, it seemed that learning English and going abroad was a shortcut for the carp to jump over the dragon gate, a magic weapon for ordinary people to change their fate and achieve success, a large number of young people worked hard to learn English, some people memorized GRE words more than 100 times, and a word book has been turned to tatters and is still reading, reading, and memorizing; some people took the TOEFL, GRE, and IELTS tests, and took the test dozens of times, and some people went bankrupt in order to go abroad.

In fact, not to mention the fanatical worship of ordinary people abroad, Yan University Tsinghua University is awesome enough, the students in it are all elites in a million, and they have received a lot of patriotic education since childhood, but to put it bluntly, at that time, it was almost the talent rough processing base set up by the United States in China, as long as there was an opportunity, they rushed to Silicon Valley like refugees fleeing, and the most annoying thing is that it also contributed to the scientific and technological cause of the United States.

But have they really achieved what they once dreamed of in the United States?

For this question, the movie "Chinese Partner" gives an answer: Chinese in the United States, not bosses, but part-time workers.
