Chapter 140: The Holy Land
Huacheng has always spread the saying that "eat food to the North Garden, drink tea to Panxi".
Therefore, early in the morning of December 10, Hong Yanwu called three more "taxis".
I took everyone to the "Panxi Restaurant", which is known as the three major garden restaurants in Huacheng with the "North Garden" and "South Garden", to drink morning tea.
"Panxi Restaurant" is located in the "Lychee Bay" of "white lotus and red lychee, five beautiful fragrances".
The periphery is covered with white walls and tiles, and green banyan trees are covered.
The interior layout is tortuous and layered.
Here, people can slowly enjoy "one cup of multiple pieces" snacks at the same time, they can also enjoy the small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.
Hong Yanwu is precisely because he likes the golden wood carved eaves here, the gold-colored flower window ruler paintings, and likes this kind of poetry and ease and comfort, so every time he comes to Huacheng, he must come here to drink tea.
As for the others, being attracted by this elegant style is secondary, and the key is that there are too many tricks and choices for breakfast in Huacheng.
It's just ordinary rice rolls, raw porridge, barbecued pork buns, and shrimp dumplings, which are enough to make them look straight and drool.
And the wonderful taste in it is not something that those of them who have always relied on oil cakes, soy milk, steamed buns, and sugar ears to perfunctory their stomachs can imagine.
As a result, I couldn't control my mouth again when I ate it.
"Horseshoe Cake", "Custard Bun", "Fish Fillet Porridge", "Fish Ball Porridge", "Sister E's Powder Fruit", "Honeycomb Taro Corner", "Coconut Banana Leaf Corner", "Like Raw Pear Fruit", "Honey Sauce Barbecued Pork Bun", "Green White Rabbit Dumpling", "Crab Roe Dry Steamed Siu Mai", the price of running water is similar.
These boys sat in the boat-shaped "Panxi Painting Boat", eating one by one with eyebrows and smiles, and were extremely excited.
To be honest, even Hong Yanwu felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Because there is a "cream white cake", it is the unique signature dim sum of this year's "Panxi Restaurant".
Between the crust are fluffy cake pieces, sweet and glutinous desiccated coconut, and crispy olive kernels.
Even he was eating it for the first time, and it was amazing.
This should be regarded as a special benefit of the times.
Of course, when paying the bill, the price is also expensive.
Because Panxi Restaurant is a very high-consumption place with a strong capitalist color, eating here in those days was something that ordinary people with meager salaries could not think of.
In addition, everyone in the north can eat tall and big, and this breakfast is almost equivalent to the money of yesterday's meal.
So after they were full of wine and food, everyone couldn't help but feel again.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. I didn't expect that there would be such a good day in the world. I can go to the restaurant early in the morning to eat and drink, and Lao Guangzhen will enjoy it. ”
"Cut, you don't look at it, it's all Hong Kong tourists with big gold rings out of their pockets, and the rest of the people who accompany you are locals. Take our table as an example, if we eat more than 50 pieces for breakfast, which one can afford to eat on wages? We just have to sell goods, and we have to sell a dozen or twenty pieces to earn it. ”
"That is, I think Hong Kong tourists are also hard to fill with garlic. Didn't you say that the average salary of Hong Kong people is 1,300 Hong Kong dollars, and now the official price of 100 Hong Kong dollars is 18 yuan, and the black market is 23 yuan. In this way, they don't earn much. Even our guys have surpassed their income. ”
"Hahaha!" everyone couldn't help but laugh when they talked about this.
It was a kind of psychological satisfaction that was quite proud, but also somewhat gratifying.
If you think about it this way, this meal is more expensive, but just rush this, and then feel comfortable.
But no matter how much they like it here, after nine o'clock in the morning, Hong Yanwu and the others have to leave, because they have to get down to business today.
There is no doubt that the first stop that Hong Yanwu will take everyone to must be the "Mass Street", which is the famous "Gaodi Street".
This place may sound unfamiliar to people today, but it was undoubtedly a holy place for self-employed people across the country in the early eighties.
Because this street is not only the first industrial goods market opened in the country, but also the first clothing wholesale market in the country.
Not only in the mid-80s, people from all over the country had to come here to shop for goods, but in the 90s, it was also the focus of international dumping goods.
At that time, there was even a saying that "if you don't go to Huacheng and go around Gaodi Street, you won't be here".
When they arrived at their destination, it was almost ten o'clock.
Before people entered the iconic stone archway, they found that it really lived up to its name.
The people who come and go are all traffickers who go to urban and rural areas and neighboring cities, and there are also some Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, although it is still working time, they are still full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.
Although the order is definitely not as good as Hong Yanwu's night market, it is more prosperous than I don't know how many times.
When I looked into the street, I felt that there seemed to be endless business here.
In many places, construction is underway to build more formal storefronts.
For the time being, however, vendors who do not yet have a store account for the majority. But the roadside is also full of goods, and some are even scattered on the ground.
Electronic watches, calculators, jewelry, earrings, pearl necklaces, shampoos, cosmetics, colorful fashion, you name it, cheaply, wholesale and retail.
Almost all of them are trendy models from Hong Kong, which makes people's eyes not enough, excited, excited, and eager to buy.
The most unimaginable thing is that in just this year, there have been franchised households in "Gaodi Street".
That is, a merchant who specializes in only one type of product. They're either all clothes, or all department stores, or all toys.
For example, there was a shirt seller who erected a wooden sign, and hundreds of pieces were hung behind a small stall.
Men's, women's, Hong Kong-style, all kinds of colors, all kinds of patterns, all in one place, particularly eye-catching, novel.
Naturally, there is a tendency towards specialization, giving customers a sense of credibility and being extremely attractive.
It was already so hot that they couldn't bear it anymore, Hong Yanwu and the others couldn't help it anymore, and everyone went up to pick out a Hong Kong-style shirt.
The price is not expensive, only two yuan and five cents a piece, "Li Bener" tried to draw the price, free of change, twenty yuan to get nine pieces.
It's just that the size of the northerners is not the same as that of the southerners, and it is extremely rare to see a person like Chen Liquan who is more than one meter and eight meters tall, and there is no number on the stall at all, so the stall owner has to take him to the warehouse in the alley to pick up the goods.
In addition, "Thorn Mei" had to find a private place to change clothes, so she went together.
But they really didn't expect that when the young man who wore a necklace, had long hair, and was not good-looking, led Chen Liquan and "Thorn Mei" to his house and opened the doors of the two rooms, it was simply surprising.
The whole two rooms are all stacked with shirts, and according to rough estimates, there are always twenty or thirty thousand yuan.
"Thorn Mei" couldn't help but ask a little excitedly, "It's all yours alone?"
The stall owner didn't care about sticking out his little finger. "Well, that's not much, I'm ...... here."
The shock brought by the unintentional touch is the strongest.
Later, when I went shopping again, "Thorn Plum" paid special attention to it.
In the end, she determined that almost all the young people who were self-employed here had a net worth that ordinary people could not imagine.
Take a girl who sells roast goose in a fancy way, if she changes places, she will definitely make people think that she is a returned overseas Chinese.
For the girl was not only well-dressed, but also had a bright gold necklace around her neck, and eye-catching gold earrings on her ears.
She would definitely bet that those were real deals. And all the high-end clothes are probably earned by selling roast goose.
The most critical evidence is that the people who set up stalls here have too different mental outlooks.
Most of the people in the capital who make a living by setting up stalls are really desperate, and their faces often show inferior shame and unconscious evasion.
But the people here are different, and there is an indescribable excitement in the shouts of soliciting business.
She didn't know what kind of heart it was, but it was definitely 108,000 miles away from the helplessness of forcing Liangshan.
The people here will never envy the iron rice bowl of the state-owned units to ensure harvest in drought and flood, but have a blatant and self-respecting sense of pride.
It was like a dazzling light that melted away the little doubt she had about the future.
made her unconsciously feel a sense of intimacy with the city.
She seems to see her future here, and she believes that the social atmosphere and values of the capital will one day become like this.
She even began to imagine that her future self could be like the young people here, with a small store specializing in certain products.
What a happy thing that should be.
