Chapter 1: The Spring of Jiaxu

All things are reborn, and blessings are prayed for.

When the beginning of spring arrived in 1994, China's social life and economy began to thaw on a large scale. The sound of ice breaking can be heard everywhere in the vast land. Winter will never last forever, and there is no spring that will not come. Once the cold begins to subside, everything will break through the earth, and the earth will once again be alive and vibrant.

At the beginning of the middle of February of the solar calendar, a series of waves of deepening reforms in finance, taxation, finance, foreign trade, foreign exchange, housing system, state-owned enterprise operating mechanism, and economic system swept the entire land of China on a large scale.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put an end to the debate on whether the reform is advancing or retreating, the engine of private economic development has been strengthened again, individual industrial and commercial households have risen rapidly, the construction of economic development zones is in full swing, government civil servants have gone to the sea, rushed to land to try to eat crabs, broke the three irons, workers were laid off, "fried more army" has become a new fashion in the coastal area in this year, the first supermarket Malaysian retailer Parkson officially entered China, "second milk" began to flood, and the slogan of reform and opening up in the eighties was " All-round integration with international standards" and "international conventions" have been replaced, and "competition" has become the most beautiful and fashionable word in Chinese society this year.

Under the general policy of establishing a modern enterprise system, the reform of state-owned enterprises, which has crossed the river by feeling the stones, has also reached an extremely critical moment in this year. After many reform policies, such as the reform of management rights and the reform of the contract system, state-owned enterprises are now reforming the property rights system that leverages the foundation, and the vitality of many enterprises has been strengthened, but at the same time, state-owned assets have begun to be lost. In the face of this situation, although there are still sighs in society that "the country will not be a country", no one can stop the development of this general trend.

In the rural areas, although with the continuous deepening of the production responsibility system in the 80s, the days when the croppers could not have enough food and clothing were gradually gone, at the beginning of this year, the reform of the fiscal and taxation system carried out by the state abolished the rights and interests of "turning agriculture into non-farming" and weakened the "collective ownership of land." The burden on the croppers began to increase, the rural areas received more apportionment, and farming became less and less economical. In this situation, the rural young and strong laborers began to go out to work, millions of female teachers went down the Pearl River, and countless migrant girls rushed to the coastal special zone to pan for gold, they supported half of the "Made in China" and the famous name of the coastal generation of foot bath technicians, but many extremely thorny social problems in later generations, such as rural hollowing, rural land idleness and barrenness, and left-behind elderly and children, gradually emerged in this year.

At the same time, a new era of entertainment has begun.

The rise of pirated VCD in the mainland market has allowed Chinese teenagers to see a lot of Xiangjiang classics, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies represented by "Double Monday", "God of Gamblers 2", "Nine Pins Sesame Official", "Chongqing Forest", "Domestic Lingling Paint" and so on are popular among young people, and "The End of the World" let Chinese see the charm of Hollywood blockbusters for the first time, karaoke is popular, making the four heavenly kings popular all over the country, in the streets and alleys of the city, you can often hear the absurd and unruly "" Kiss goodbye", at the same time, in this year, 16-year-old Yang Lijuan became obsessed with Andy Lau, and since then she has no intention of learning and embarking on a crazy and jaw-dropping road of chasing stars.

Since 1986, Cui Jianjian carried a guitar and roared the song "Nothing" to more than 10,000 audiences in the Gongti, Chinese rock music also ushered in its peak moment in 1994.

Many years later, Zhang Chu died, He Yong went crazy, and Dou Wei became an immortal. People realized that Chinese rock in 1994 had come to an end in glory. Classic rock songs such as "No Place to Shame", "Lonely People Are Shameful", "Pretty Girl" and other classic rock songs have gradually become swan songs in the doubts of rock pioneers such as Dou Wei about the perfect life and the unconventional taste.

A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young.

With the continuous enrichment of material life and civilization, civilian culture has risen, those grand collective narratives of the planned economy era are far away, new life desires and emotions have begun to appear, and the new generation of young people are increasingly pursuing personal liberation, the right to speak as the subject and enhancing their own value, because another historical turning point in 1994 was with the former State Education Commission issued the "Pilot Opinions on Further Reforming the Enrollment and Graduate Employment System of Ordinary Colleges and Universities" , college students are no longer allotted, and they are no longer veritable pride of heaven like in the seventies and eighties.

Of course, at this time, Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yang Wei and others in the small city named Jiangchuan in the south were far from realizing the great changes that their fate had quietly undergone under this national policy, and they could not predict in advance that after they entered the university, they would usher in the expansion policy of ordinary colleges and universities, tuition fees began to soar all the way, and the once noble college students began industrial mass production.

In the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year in 1994, they either squandered their youth in the game hall of the roller skating rink to have fun, or they bit the pen in the study to copy their winter vacation homework, but at noon on this sunny day, Wang Xiaokai was called by Zhang Yunqi to Zhang Jiqi Fengdu Fish Powder Shop for lunch.

After the winter vacation of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, Zhang Jiqi Fengdu fish powder shop was closed, and it has not been open for a long time, Wang Xiaokai Tian Zhuang Yang Viagra and his companion came to Zhang Jiqi Fengdu fish powder shop, before entering the door, I saw a dustpan of tempeh on the door, and the spicy smell of choking nose came from the crack in the door.

After the brother opened the half-hidden roller shutter, he saw Zhang Yunqi wearing a white chef's suit, holding a spatula and tinkering on the stove, Wang Xiaokai pinched his nose and walked in to look at the black tempeh in the pot and said, "Boss Zhang, what are you frying here?"

"You'll find out later. ”

Zhang Yunqi glanced at Wang Xiaokai, smiled and asked them to find a place by themselves, and then put green onions, ginger, star anise, dried chili peppers and peppercorns into the oil pot, after frying and crushing, take them out, add tempeh, stir-fry over low heat until fragrant, and then add a sticky secret mixture, as well as an appropriate amount of sugar, salt, boiling water, thickening the water starch, and then put the black and red chili tempeh into the pot and put it on the plate.

Zhang Yunqi ordered three more bowls of clear soup noodles, and after coming out of the pot, he added a spoonful of chili and tempeh made in front of him, and brought it to the table to the boring Wang Xiaokai and his brother to eat.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was babbling, grabbed the chopsticks and stirred them vigorously in the bowl twice, and the surface of the noodle soup immediately floated with a layer of red oil, and he put a chopstick on the noodles dipped in the black bean sauce in his mouth, muttering: "What kind of dish is this? ”

Zhang Yun lit a cigarette and sat on a chair and said, "Chilli tempeh sauce, how does it taste?"

"Fragrant, spicy and fresh. Enough energy. Wang Xiaokai gave a six-character evaluation, and then dried a bowl of chili tempeh noodles in two bites, wiped his mouth and burped and said: "Anyway, you don't come out to play these days, and when you turn around, you will tinker with this chili bean paste in the store?"

Zhang Yun nodded: "Are you willing to let you pay for it?"

Wang Xiaokai crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask? Even if what your boss Zhang sells is a piece of, I will buy it correctly." ”

Zhang Yunqi sometimes finds it difficult to keep up with the brain circuit of this little fool hat Qingqi, and any serious topic can be brought to the corner by him: "To put it bluntly, I am going to sell this kind of chili tempeh sauce after the New Year, tentatively set a piece of May 1st bottle, do you think there is a market in the student group of our city No. 1 Middle School?"
