Chapter 252: Hunger and thirst
Compared with those unemployed young people under Yin Shengxi, and compared with the two sons of Guo Peiji and Liu Guixian, Su Jin and Bian Jiangong are undoubtedly super lucky.
After working for more than two months, Su Jin is now well-known in "making inches", not only the master who took him praised him for his talent and solid basic skills. He has also been recognized by some important customers.
For example, the wife of the ambassador and a female diplomat of the Hungarian embassy, a correspondent of the "Reuters" news agency in China, and two female cadres of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have never asked others to make clothes since they asked him to make clothes.
Not to mention anything else, in the whole "inch", only Su Jin can match the striped fabric on the shoulders and neckline, and only Su Jin can cut the size of the clothes to the most fit, one inch more, one inch less, no less.
This kind of delicacy and delicacy is exactly what northerners lack the most, but there is no female customer who does not love it. Su Jin is naturally sought after.
And Bian Jiangong is even more bitter.
After two months of training in the division training class, this kid successfully passed the car book. After reporting to Shouqi, from August 1, this kid also joined the ranks of guarding the 55th bureau of the taxi call 5678, waiting for customers to come to the door to charge the uncle.
The car that Bian Jiangong got was a second-hand "Warsaw M20".
To be honest, the Warsaw sedan has a low technical content and a very poor level of configuration, the window and door locks are all manual, there is no power steering and power brakes, and the superlative configuration is a radio. Due to the poor assembly process, a creaking noise is a must.
However, although the quality is not very good, at this time, because there are very few cars, customers are very polite to the driver, begging grandpa to tell grandma. Not only invite the driver to drink water and smoke, but also invite to eat.
Because it's not easy to find a taxi in Kenla. If it's really a master who has a lot of things to do, and he is reluctant to charter a car, he will definitely have to pay for a smile. will change the way to retain, I am afraid that the driver will not like to wait, especially enthusiastic.
Needless to say, the income of taxi drivers is really high. I haven't been working for two days, and Bian Jiangong has figured it out. The oil and water in this job is a lot more than Hong Yanwu said.
Moreover, in the country at that time, the sedan itself was a symbol of extraordinary status, and according to the rank, the county magistrate was not qualified to have a Warsaw car.
Bian Jiangong drove to and from work every day, and it fell in the eyes of the neighbors in Forlury. This made Aunt Bian so happy that she couldn't open her eyes for a week.
So now, looking at the pride of their families, and then looking at the crowded streets and the scene of many young people doing nothing, Su Jin and Bian Jiangong are not only lucky. It also deepened his gratitude to Hong Yanwu.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu was really polite to them, and obviously didn't treat them as outsiders.
Needless to say, Su Jin's craftsmanship is the most effective. Wang Yunlin sent the piece of material to "Sugar Heart", and Hong Yanwu came to the door to ask Su Jin to make clothes on his behalf.
And the car driven by Bian Jiangong, Hong Yanwu also used it for free, he took Chen Liquan and "Sugar Xiner" to the car and went to the Summer Palace together.
These two things finally made Su Jin and Bian Jiangong feel more comfortable.
Sometimes people are like this, for those who have been of great help to themselves, they are afraid that the other party will not give them a chance to reciprocate.
After talking about the role of the difficult survival status of 400,000 people in promoting the reform of the economic system, we have to talk about the direct improvement of economic consumption by these 400,000 people.
In 1979, every day in Beijing seemed to start from a crowded time.
At the bus stop, on the subway platform, at the department store...... So much so that even buying breakfast is overcrowded.
Because as long as these unemployed young people have nothing to do every day, they will inevitably go to the streets together.
And it often costs money to go to the street, even if it is a big bowl of tea for two cents, a bus ticket for five cents, a dime for mustard noodles, or a movie ticket for a dime and a half cent...... As long as you have it in your pocket, these most basic purchases are inevitable.
Don't look at the fact that many of these young intellectuals who have returned to the city have no occupation, but their parents have careers. As a result, cinemas and restaurants, which can satisfy their mental deprivation and appetite, have become the biggest beneficiaries, respectively.
The summer of 1979 saw an unprecedented box office increase, keeping every theater in the capital busy.
In order to receive as many audiences as possible, each theater has increased the number of screenings according to its own conditions.
On weekends and weekdays, I wake up at 9 a.m., sometimes at 8 a.m., and until 12 p.m. There are 12 to 13 games in total, and there is basically no rest time for the machine in between
In this case, the thriller-style film "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" has attracted 600 million viewers to the theater one after another. This film has also become a box office benchmark for domestic films before the release of the martial arts action film "Shaolin Temple".
Although no one has counted the box office contribution of unemployed youth, the essential phenomenon of full theater can tell the whole story.
Because in this era of absolute uniformity, it is impossible for people with jobs to go to the cinema during working hours.
The same goes for restaurants.
In 1979, cross talk actors Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu recorded a cross talk work called "Unhealthy Wind" together.
In this realistic and satirical cross talk work, the author will pull the relationship and add the serre, just to buy two oil cakes, and crown it as an unhealthy style.
It sounds like a bit of a line today. But one reality that can be determined from this cross talk is that at the end of the seventies, the phenomenon of queuing to eat in restaurants became more and more serious.
Needless to say, this is also to blame on the heads of a large number of educated youths who have returned to the city.
The proof is that the well-known big restaurants can still get a more comfortable dining environment. However, the smaller the restaurant, the more people there are, and the sales of fried cakes and mustard noodles have increased sharply, and the phenomenon of too many people and few restaurants has completely become a sign of the times.
For Hong Yanwu, the impact of these two social conditions is both good and bad.
Unfortunately, it became harder for him to eat out.
The "Shin Kong Restaurant" in front of his home, which he frequented, became overcrowded, and it was useless to even know people. Because the people in line are standing in the deep crowd of diners, stepping on the beams on the legs of the stools.
In this case, it is difficult to give him a socket position.
Compared with him, the front and back kitchens of "Xinguang Restaurant" are even more dissatisfied, whether it is the waiter or the master, they are all dissatisfied with the work comfort, and they are scolding every day.
Naturally, this kind of temperament has been transferred to the customers, but even then absolutely no one has any pickiness about the environment of the restaurant.
Because in these days, the concept of man eating is eating. Even the big blue-rimmed bowl and spoon in the restaurant, all the tableware are injured, and if you are not careful, you can hurt your mouth, and you don't dare to find fault with half a sentence.
Of course, rides, showers, and groceries are also affected by this. For the first time in the capital, people felt the embarrassment caused by the sudden explosion of the population. It seems that even the air to breathe has become scarce.
