Chapter 880: Jibei City
Early the next morning, Liu Lang took a group of people to a nearby leather clothing shop, this place is too cold, the outdoor temperature at noon is only minus 20 degrees, the night temperature is close to minus 40 degrees, Fucheng is now the coldest time is minus 20 degrees, a difference of dozens of degrees, a few of them came out only wearing cotton clothes, a little unbearable in this place, so Liu Lang paid for a mink coat alone.
Twenty years later, there was a saying in the north: the poor wear mink, the rich wear cotton, and the big wear leisure, which means that only the poor wear mink, and the rich will not wear this kind of thick and stupid leather clothing at all.
This sentence represents the change of the times, because in the twenties and thirties after a mink coat is cheapest to cost thousands of yuan, and a better one is easy to pass 10,000 yuan, but even if it is so expensive, people still wear it on the street, so that those rich people disdain to use the form of wearing mink to show how rich they are, but those who have no money will use it to show off their "not bad money" mentality.
In fact, in Jibei Province and further Longjiang Province, mink coats were not originally used to show off, just look at the famous "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" movie, the bandit leader and the hero who broke into the enemy*** are all wearing mink coats, are they here to show off their wealth? Of course not, it is really used to keep out the cold, in the cold environment of mink 30 degrees Celsius, no cotton clothes can resist, only this mink can resist the harsh low temperature, of course, if you wear a black bear fur coat will be warmer, but there are too few black bears, Jibei Province began to raise mink in captivity as early as the sixties, so mink is not a wild animal.
Of course, there is not much money in this era of mink coats, only more than fifty yuan a piece, but relatively speaking, it is also worth a lot of money, Liu Lang picks the best to buy, and the waiter who buys mink is scared when he sees that a child has spent more than sixty yuan to buy mink, this person is really rich!
At noon, a few people went straight to Jibei City after eating.
At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jibei City was the capital of Jibei Province, in fact, you can know by listening to the name, and there is only Jibei named after the provincial capital.
But in May Fourth, the state moved the capital of Jibei Province to Changchun, and Jibei lost its position as the provincial capital, but it is also the second largest city in Jibei Province, and its economic strength is no less than that of Changchun, and even better than Changchun in terms of power and chemical industry, the most famous is the famous Fengman Hydropower Station, and the largest chemical plant in Jibei Province - Jihua is also located in this city.
In his previous life, Liu Lang came to this city when he had just graduated, and he came to play, there were not so many entertainment places in this city, and what Liu Lang remembered deeply was the Songhua River that traverses the entire city from east to west, a river cuts a city into three urban districts, Jiangbei District in the north, Jiangnan District in the south, and Chuanying District in the middle.
This natural layout of the city is interesting, and if you row a boat from north to south, you can pass through the whole city.
A city has a body of water, then the city has a smart, but also because of the existence of the Songhua River, Jibei City is a little less rigid as an industrial city, and more soft as a southern water town.
This kind of softness is felt in the city just after entering the city, even if the temperature is so cold, but most of the river water is not frozen, the flowing river water and the cold air collide to form a large area of water mist, the water mist fills both sides of the river and the pines and cypresses along the river are shrouded in it, the water mist forms thick ice crystals on the branches of the pines and cypresses, forming a unique rime scene in the northern city, people look from afar, and instantly can understand what is called Yushu Linfeng,
"What kind of trees are these, and how are they white?"
Ma Ming looked out through the lathe and found trees by the river not far away, which seemed to be such white trees in his cognition.
"That's the most famous rime in Jibei City, which only appears in winter!"
Wang Zhendong explained.
"Rime?"
Ma Ming and a few people have never heard of it.
"Brother Sun, stop the car by the river, let's take a picture!"
Liu Lang carried a camera with him, which he bought from the United States, but it was produced by the island country.
The car stopped, and a few people walked out, and the air conditioning was pressing, but the air conditioning by the river gave people a moist feeling, and they felt very comfortable.
"Come, Brother Ma, the three of you stand together, I'll take a picture of you!"
In fact, Liu Lang also saw rime for the first time, in his previous life, he came here in the summer, and he just felt cool at that time.
Ma Ming and the three of them couldn't close their mouths happily, white mist kept rising from their mouths, and the three of them immediately stood under a tree, the boss wearing a black mink coat and a grinning mouth.
"Click!"
A photo is done.
"Brother Ma, you take a picture of the three of us!"
Ma Ming took another photo of Liu Lang, Wang Zhendong and Sun Hu, and then Liu Lang took a selfie on the shelf, and the six of them took another group photo.
A few people's actions attracted the attention of some pedestrians, no one travels in this era, only business trips or visiting relatives and friends will go to other cities, Liu Lang and a few people did not attract the attention of others, but the camera made some pedestrians stop and watch.
"This camera is better than the photo studio, right?"
Liu Lang packed up his camera and took a few people into the car, the temperature in Jibei City was low enough, and he was trembling after wearing mink for a long time.
"What kind of car is this, so big?"
The windfield van caught the attention of pedestrians again.
It was already noon when a group of people arrived in Jibei City, first found a guest house to live in, now the guest house is different from a few years ago, a few years ago the guest house was state-run, if you want to live there, you have to have a letter of introduction from the unit, no letter of introduction can not settle in, in 84 years the country began to issue ID cards to each citizen, and in 87 years or so, many guest houses also began to contract, the implementation of opening to the outside world, like the capital of the metropolis has a hotel run by individuals.
There are not many immigrants in Jibei City, but most of the guest houses are also open to the public, and you can settle in with your ID card, and you can also use a letter of introduction, but many farmers have not yet applied for an ID card, and they do not need an ID card when they go to the city to sell grain.
Liu Lang and several people live in the guest house of Jibei Electric Power Bureau, less than 500 meters away from Jibei Thermal Power Plant, which is located in Jiangnan District, is an industrial gathering area, there are thermal power plants, Jihua two large enterprises, these two factories alone almost account for more than half of the area in Jiangnan District, and half of the remaining fifty percent of the area is the residential area of the employees of the two enterprises, and Jiangnan District is also the area with the highest income of residents in Jibei City, similar to the Mining Bureau of Fucheng.
But in the previous life, when Liu Lang came here, Jiangnan District was no longer the most prosperous area in Jibei City, at that time Jiangbei District became a new district, and a large number of new real estate and commercial outlets rose there, on the other hand, those old factories and enterprises in Jiangnan District declined, Liu Lang still remembers that Jiangnan District at that time was full of mottled old walls and factories.
Of course, the power plant and chemical plant in Jibei City did not go bankrupt at that time, the chemical industry can be divided into a lot of enterprises, in the nineties in the enterprise reform from Jihua was born a lot of chemical enterprises, such as what lubricating oil enterprises, building materials enterprises, etc., most of them are personal, it can be seen that the chemical industry in Jibei City has cultivated a large number of talents.
