Chapter 65: The Hillbilly Enters the City
After Li Yadong made preparations, he did not stay in the capital for long, after all, time waits for no one, and it will not be long until the end of the year, in case the central department has already intervened after his batch of cars arrives in Hong Kong, then he will probably lose so much that he will not even have pants left.
On November 9th, the sky over the capital that had been gloomy for a long time finally cleared, and Li Yadong took Jiang Tengfei together and stepped on the train to Yangcheng.
The reason why he brought him was mainly due to two considerations, one was to carry a huge amount of foreign exchange with him, and many people naturally had more courage, and this kid's calf-like body had a great visual impact, and those crumbs did not dare to provoke easily.
Second, Li Yadong is destined to not be able to stay in Hailan for a long time, and it takes time for the car to arrive in Hong Kong, he must arrange a person to be on standby there at any time, Tian Lei will definitely not be able to leave, then Jiang Tengfei is undoubtedly the best candidate.
The two of them didn't carry much salute, just a few sets of change of clothes, and an old leather bag that had been wrinkled, which was put around Jiang Tengfei's neck and nested in his arms.
There were many people on the train, and there were obviously more passengers going south than when Li Yadong came to Beijing from his hometown, but almost no one could have imagined that this inconspicuous old leather bag contained a huge sum of money that they had never seen in their lives.
It is more than 2,000 kilometers from Beijing to Yangcheng, and the high-speed rail can be reached within ten hours in the future, but the green train at this time has been running for nearly 30 hours.
Don't talk about moving your body in the cramped carriage, there are too many people and it's difficult to even take a breath of fresh air, and it's obviously more than ten degrees of weather outside, but many old men on the car have stripped off only their single clothes, and all kinds of unpleasant smells in the carriage are mixed and intertwined, which can be said to toss people enough.
It was afternoon when they arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station, and the first thing the two of them did was to find a restaurant nearby and eat hard.
Then I didn't feel sorry for the money, took a taxi to the bus station, and bought a ticket for the first flight to Zhanjiang tomorrow morning.
Even in this era, Li Yadong is no stranger to this city, he left his hometown for the first time in the nineties to the place in Nanyue, and in a combination of urban and rural areas not very far from Yangcheng, he stayed for a few years, where he met his first wife, if he didn't know that the restaurant is not there yet, but there is really an urge to visit the old place again, not for anything else, just simply want to go and see.
After buying the ticket, I didn't go far, I found a hostel next to the bus station, and planned to stay for one night, the price of three yuan and five cents a night is really sorry for the supporting facilities, but fortunately Li Yadong is too lazy to care.
"Brother Dong, this south is really lively, much more prosperous than ours, you look at this building, how many floors does it have, I count ......"
Jiang Tengfei lay next to the only window in the humble inn, looking at the colorful world outside like a curious baby.
Yangcheng has been far away from war since ancient times, and it is also the forefront of reform and opening up, and it has indeed developed better than the mainland in this era.
"You can take a look, but don't go out, the money is good, I'll sleep first." Li Yadong estimated that he probably didn't feel sleepy, most of the people who went out for the first time were like this, so he didn't bother to care, and fell asleep after being instructed.
When I woke up, it was dark outside, and when I raised the electronic watch in my hand, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Tengfei's guy hadn't slept yet, crawling in front of the windowsill and looking downstairs without taking his eyes off it, Li Yadong didn't notice it when he came over.
Following his gaze, Li Yadong couldn't help but have a black line, because under a mango tree next to the sidewalk downstairs, there was a beautiful young woman wearing a black miniskirt.
"Looks good, right?"
"Hmm. "This kid is at the age when hormone secretion is at its most vigorous, and he used to be in that small corner of Wudaokou, where had he seen such snow-white long legs, and he almost didn't fall off.
After he answered, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and said in surprise: "Hey, Brother Dong, are you awake?"
I didn't feel ashamed, and pointed at the woman with a laugh and said, "Brother Dong, you said that she wears this, isn't it cold at night?"
"Can you handle it?"
Li Yadong glanced at him angrily, pulled out a towel from his bag, and walked straight out of the room, the enamel basin placed on the wall did not dare to use it, there was no bathroom in the house, there was a water room at the end of the corridor, and the guests on the whole floor brushed their teeth and washed their teeth, plus the toilet was all inside.
After washing his face, he returned to the room, and went downstairs to eat with Jiang Tengfei, he didn't bring the bag with his luggage, but the old leather bag with money was still hanging on Jiang Tengfei's neck, and this kid hadn't taken it off since he hung it up.
The streets of Yangcheng are indeed lively, even at night it is not deserted, in this era has begun to take the prototype of the city that never sleeps, the dim street lamps cover up some details, there is an illusion of returning to a small county town in the future, and there is no sense of disobedience.
There was naturally no shortage of restaurants next to the station, so the two of them chose the largest store and walked in.
The name of the store is "Wang Ji Food Shop", the main focus is rice rolls and cage rice, Li Yadong glanced at the price list hanging on the wall, it is not cheap, and there are not many customers inside, the attendance rate at this point is only 30%, all of them are wearing more decent clothes, and the guests in the food stalls next to them are clearly distinguished.
Although it is a socialist country, the class hierarchy still exists everywhere. It is not macroeconomic policies that have subtly shaped this situation, but the gap between the individual economy. Some people are used to being conformist, and some people are inherently restless and almost unavoidable.
"Order what you want to eat. Li Yadong ordered a cured rice and pointed to the price.
"What's delicious?"
Jiang Tengfei's eyes darkened, the main thing was that he hadn't eaten any of the things on it, but when he first arrived in the south, he wanted to eat something good, and he could brag when he went back, right?
"Then you pick the expensive point, the expensive one is definitely not unpalatable. ”
"Yes, that's it. Jiang Tengfei smiled and asked for a beef rice noodles, a large portion.
It doesn't take long to put the rice rolls on the table, this thing is simple to make, the beef is prepared in advance, the rice rolls scoop a spoonful of rice milk into the round dustpan and pour it, put it in a boiling pot of water for a minute, and it will be scalded.
"Isn't this just cold skin?" Jiang Tengfei looked at the beef rice noodles brought by the boss, looking a little unhappy, mainly from the appearance of the meat has not been seen, the appearance is no different from the cold skin in the capital, at most it is hot, dare to sell this thing for a piece of five cents?
"Liangpi is made of flour, and this one is made of rice flour. ”
Li Yadong was too lazy to say anything, and waited carelessly for his cured meat steamer rice, and it was purely for nothing if he didn't eat cured meat in Yangcheng, but many outsiders couldn't get used to it, but he liked it a lot. This kind of cured rice made with bamboo steamers will become less and less common in the future, and will gradually be replaced by a new type of claypot rice.
"Huh, it tastes good, it turns out that the meat is rolled in it. Jiang Tengfei made a fuss after tasting it, and his face was full of surprise.
Li Yadong saw that the diners in the house were all looking at them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, not that he despised Jiang Tengfei, but that he really felt like a hillbilly entering the city with this guy.
This kid dried three servings in one go, which shows that the taste is really good.
You must know that the large portion of rice rolls in this year is packed on a large plate with a diameter of about 25 centimeters, and it is really enough to eat.
This is also fortunate to be the boss of Li Yadong, and ordinary people have to be eaten poor by him.
