The scene was silent for a while, and Zhang Ming, who was immersed in eating, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Peng and Meng Chaoyuan and asked, "Why don't you two speak?"

Zhou Peng looked up and smiled awkwardly, and then explained with a little paleness: "What do you say when you eat?"

On the side, Meng Chaoyuan pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang Ming, who had eaten a big mouthful, took a cup of draft beer and poured it into his stomach, and then swallowed a mouthful of meat.

"I'm full, what, I won't use the light bulb, you two eat slowly, I'll go to help." ”

After speaking, Zhang Ming ran to the Starry Sky Internet Café.

"Did your classmate go online?" Meng Chaoyuan always takes small bites when she eats, and she looks very elegant. I don't know if she usually eats like this, or if she didn't let go of eating with Zhou Peng for the first time.

"When he goes online, he can't do without games. ”

But after saying that, Zhou Peng felt that this was definitely wrong, everyone was really hot when he was in college, but within a few years of graduation, everyone's interest shifted. Women and money seem to make men more tempted.

"Do you usually go online?" Meng Chaoyuan asked.

"I'll be on it for a while if I'm free, and I'll look at QQ information or something. ”

Back in 2003, there were three things on the Internet: chatting, games, and movies.

At that time, the most popular chat software was QQ and UC, and at the same time, in addition to chatting with chat software, each city has its own information port website, and then there are web chat rooms in the information port, which is the earliest blueprint for online dating in the same city.

At the beginning, the functions of QQ and UC were not much different, it was a small tool for chatting, and even said that QQ was not as good as UC in terms of voice chat, but then QQ became more and more popular, and finally dominated the rivers and lakes.

As for games, by 2003, the most popular online games were "Legend of Blood" and "Journey to the West 2", which were the status of Jianghu bosses at that time. However, in the second half of 2003, there will be two popular games, "World of Legends" and "Fantasy Journey to the West", to challenge their status. In addition to online games, the most popular LAN games are "CS" and "Warcraft", the original very popular "Red Alert" has begun to be cold, and then "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Running Kart", the two popular LAN games that have been very popular later, have to wait until after 2005.

As for movies, in 2003, among college students, it was the most popular few years of Stephen Chow's movies. It can be said unceremoniously that the group of people born in the 80s have a deep admiration for Stephen Chow.

In addition to these three mainstreams, there are also some netizens who like to watch variety shows, when the Korean Wave hit, the Korean variety show "Love Letter" was still very popular.

To be honest, it was still very popular and chic to accompany my girlfriend to read a "Love Letter" and eat melon seeds.

Now that I think about it, it's funny that I only knew how to play games in my previous life.

"Oh, like this. ”

Meng Chaoyuan continued to eat, and Zhou Peng next to him had to look at the student union president from time to time.

At this time, he saw the president of the student union waving and calling the boss to settle the bill, and at this time Zhou Peng hurriedly said to Meng Chaoyuan: "You wait a minute, I will go over and thank the chairman." ”

Then, Zhou Peng stood up and went to the table of the student union president, and said to the proprietress who came to count the lots: "Boss, this table is mine." ”

"That's embarrassing. The president of the student council said with a smile.

Then he grabbed the hand of the student union president and said, "Thank you brothers for relieving me just now, I should still show my heart." Well, if you're busy, let's go, I'll have to sit down again. ”

"You kid, okay, sensible! No wonder you can get such a beautiful girlfriend, hahaha, take it easy tonight, hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The people in the student union all understood, and they all laughed loudly, and at the same time they all peeked at Meng Chaoyuan.

From a distance, especially at night, the freckles on Meng Chaoyuan's face can't be seen at all, only the fair face, the long hair of the shawl, and the tall and charming figure, she is definitely the goddess of goddesses, the dream lover in the hearts of all men.

Thinking of this, the president of the student union couldn't wait to let Zhou Peng invite him again.

"It's forty-two dollars. ”

Here Zhou Peng and the president of the student union are still talking, and the young proprietress over there has already calculated the consumption of their table.

Looking at the table full of sticks, it only cost forty-two yuan in total, and Zhou Peng felt that it was too cheap.

By 2020, if four young men eat barbecue, they won't be able to eat much for 500 yuan.

Why was barbecue cheap in 2003?

In 2003, mutton was only about seven yuan a catty, and a pound of mutton could be skewered with 60 skewers, and the cost of a bunch of mutton skewers was only a little more than a dime, and it was sold for two cents a bunch, even if it didn't cut corners, the profit could reach more than 40% of sales. Even some of the meat mixed with other messy meats are sold as lamb skewers, and the profit can reach 60%!

As for whether the owner of the barbecue restaurant outside the entrance of the Starry Sky Internet Café is honest or not, Zhou Peng can only try to convince himself to believe that he is a store that is not a trick.

The chairman and the others drank two catties of draft beer, and the four of them were eight yuan, and the profit of draft beer was relatively low, and the boss could earn two yuan.

Then they also ate 34 yuan of skewers, and these consumer bosses had to earn more than a dozen yuan.

One table can make the boss earn almost twenty yuan, and this barbecue restaurant can entertain thirty tables a night, and the boss can earn seven or eight hundred yuan.

In 2003, it was indeed worth the knife and gun to be able to buy and sell with this income.

The owner is a ruthless man, and everyone knows it on a street around.

"I'll settle my table and then find the money. Zhou Peng gave the proprietress a hundred yuan.

The proprietress looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Give me money later, don't forget to ask you for money twice when the time comes." ”

After sending off the student union president, Zhou Peng returned to Meng Chaoyuan's side and saw that there were a few more sticks on the table in front of her.

"Oh, I said beautiful sister, you eat quickly, ah, the charcoal is gone, boss, add charcoal!"

Next to him, Meng Chaoyuan looked at Zhou Peng and said, "You eat slowly, I'm full." ”

"You eat so little?" Zhou Peng looked at Meng Chaoyuan and said, there were not many skewers in front of her, at least much less than in front of her, and there were still a lot of unfinished ones on the table.

"That's what I usually eat. ”

"Oh. Zhou Peng agreed, eating the meat.

Meng Chaoyuan, who was next to him, looked at Zhou Peng, frowned, and then asked, "Do you think that the price of masks will definitely rise?"

"The money must go up!"

"Then why don't I buy a box of masks too, and you will help me sell them at your school when I go back?" Meng Chaoyuan seemed to discuss.

Zhou Peng nodded and gave Meng Chaoyuan a thumbs up: "Have vision." ”

The two of them gossiped again, and after a while, Zhou Peng was full. Seeing that the time was already more than eight o'clock, Zhou Peng proposed to go to RT-Mart nearby for a visit, but Meng Chaoyuan did not refuse, so after the two of them checked out, they walked to RT-Mart supermarket, which was only about 200 meters away from the place to eat.
