Chapter 397: A Real Rock Man
At first, Liu Jingxin saw Brother Kui so mysteriously saying that he had wine to drink at night, and he thought this person was a little strange, but after hearing Lin Jie's explanation, he knew why Brother Kui behaved like that when he mentioned "wine".
Because of religious beliefs, Pakistan not only bans pork nationwide, but also bans alcohol nationwide.
However, many people are not so religious now, and there are still a very large number of foreigners doing business in Pakistan, and the blending of many cultures around the world makes it easy for alcoholic drinks to flow into Pakistan through various channels, and even some shops will secretly sell alcohol.
But even so, anyone in Pakistan should respect the local culture and try to avoid drinking in crowded places.
Kui Ge said that he had a friend who was very powerful in the local area, and his family was very rich, so in order to drink, he secretly bought a suite outside, just as a place for him to secretly drink.
Liu Jingxin asked a little puzzled: "Anyway, this is also a relatively large port city, is there no nightlife?"
In the traditional impression of almost all Chinese people, nightlife and wine are interdependent, and no one can do without the existence of the other.
Brother Kui smiled: "Of course there is, the nightlife here is quite rich, except for places like bars, other domestic ones, there are all here." ”
Liu Jingxin remembered that he and his brothers used to run to eat barbecue and drink beer after rehearsals at night, so he asked, "Are there food stalls too?"
Brother Kui nodded and said, "There are barbecue stalls, but they all drink drinks or mineral water." The consumption here is high, the income is low, and the barbecue stall in the evening is more of a place for chatting, and there are many cases where a few people can order a few skewers at a table. ”
"High consumption, low income?" In Liu Jingxin's view, this city is equivalent to the magic capital of the country in Pakistan, and no matter how low the income is, how low can it be?
Brother Kui smiled: "It scares you to death when you say it, the prices here are similar to those in the magic capital in China, but the income of an ordinary job is equivalent to five hundred to one thousand yuan." Not only that, but the women here do not work, and basically a man's income is used for the entire expenses of a family. ”
Less than 1,000 dollars to feed a family, and all the expenses?
Liu Jingxin's eyes widened, feeling very incredulous.
In China, with the current price, three or five catties of meat cost more than 100 yuan, and usually friends get together for a meal and a little wine.
"It's hard to imagine that such a small amount of money can be used for the whole family to eat and drink Lazar for a month. What do they usually eat?" asked Liu Jingxin.
Brother Kui said: "Curry, Chabati or something......"
The three of them were talking when a local man with a broom came out of it.
When Brother Kui saw this person, he changed his pleasant smile, and the beard on his face was about to explode, he glared and got up to reprimand the man in English, and scolded stupidly.
"Brother Kui is very fierce. Liu Jingxin muttered quietly.
Thinking that the income of the people here is so low, and they have to be pointed at the tip of their nose by the boss and scolded as "stupid" at work, Liu Jingxin has more or less compassion.
Lin Jie explained with a smile: "This can't be blamed Brother Kui, people here are very lazy, I have seen it with my own eyes, Satan has swept the floor of a room in the morning and has not yet swept it, just like that, it can be regarded as more diligent here." By the way, his name is really stupid, and that's how it is transliterated anyway. If you need to change a towel or something, you can also find him. ”
Liu Jingxin nodded stunnedly: "So that's the case." ”
Brother Kui scolded and pushed the door inside and entered it, leaving Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie in the hall for the time being.
Liu Jingxin asked Lin Jie, "What are our next arrangements?"
Lin Jie thought for a while and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever been to Pakistan?"
Liu Jingxin shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is my first time going abroad." I used to want to go to Britain and the United States to see it, but I heard that the atmosphere of rock music there is very strong, but unfortunately I didn't have money before my debut, and I didn't have time after my debut. ”
Lin Jie shook his head with a smile and said: "The rock atmosphere in Britain and the United States is indeed not bad, but the domestic atmosphere is not bad. Okay, without further ado, I'm going to take you here for two days to see the customs and the world-famous flag-lowering ceremony. Then let's go to the northwest and go to the country of A, to feel the feeling of being around at all times of death. ”
"Okay!" Liu Jingxin nodded without hesitation, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be full of anticipation for the upcoming battlefield journey.
Suddenly, Liu Jingxin noticed that Lin Jie's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jie asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Liu Jingxin said: "I was a little panicked before I came, but after seeing you, I felt a lot more steady." What was your mood when you decided to come out? What was the reason for you to give up so much, even to risk your own life, to go outside and have a look?"
Lin Jie lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked rhetorically, "What about you?"
Liu Jingxin replied truthfully: "I just wanted to, so I came." Actually, I didn't think too much about it, and I decided as soon as my head was hot. ”
Lin Jie's eyes wandered, and the tip of his index finger tapped lightly on the table, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he looked up at Liu Jingxin and said, "I feel more and more that compared to you, I can only be regarded as a more avid rock lover at best. You are a real rock person, and you have hot rock blood in your bones. ”
This sounded a little awkward, Liu Jingxin frowned: "Why do you say that?"
Lin Jie said: "It is said that people who play rock and roll pursue their true selves, but in real life, anyone who does anything has a certain purpose. For example, I ran out for more than half a year this time, and it seems that only crazy rockers can do it, but I have my purpose. ”
Finally talked about the point, Liu Jingxin unconsciously leaned forward.
Lin Jie continued: "The reason why I do this is that I want to experience life that ordinary people can't experience, and give birth to insights that are difficult for ordinary people to have, so that I can get out of my comfort zone and create music that breaks through myself. ”
Liu Jingxin remembered the song that Lin Jie sent him during the Chinese New Year, and he really felt that Lin Jie's new song had achieved a breakthrough in all aspects, but the song with strong musicality may not be popular with the public, and it will definitely need to be tested by the market later.
Lin Jie smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head to look at Liu Jingxin, and continued: "And you, no matter what you do, are very casual, and you are not very purposeful, it is completely what your heart desires and what your body wants. To put it simply, you will do whatever you want, you are never dogmatic and constrained, and only stick to your bottom line. Someone like you will either achieve great things or become a heinous criminal, and everything depends on which direction your heart is headed. ”
