Chapter 75: The Generation Gap in Caviar Appreciation Levels
The days of waiting for the Canton Fair are full and boring.
However, due to the restrictions of the policy, Gu Biao, a chess piece that moves and moves, is not good at exerting his "subjective initiative", so he can only study hard every day.
Fortunately, the school knew that this student was in a special situation and often had to go out on duty, so it also gave him the green light alone:
As long as he is self-learning fast enough, he can arrange an early exam at the end of the semester to free up more flexible internship time.
However, some courses rely on their own internships, which must be half the effort, and at this time, it is very necessary for the teacher to work overtime and make up the lessons separately according to his personal pace.
At least to squeeze in extra time to answer questions.
This semester, the Foreign Affairs University has just begun to hire foreign teachers one after another, and these people do not talk about serving the people.
But fortunately, Gu Biao listened to Han Ting's words and gave those North Korean ginseng and Cuban rum to these teachers who did not have real power and were only responsible for teaching, so they took care of Gu Biao very much from top to bottom.
Every night during self-study, the teachers will be very tacit and take turns to have one more class time for one person, and give Gu Biao one-on-one centralized answers.
Gu Biao himself also worked very hard, and secretly estimated in his heart that his learning progress in the short term could at least surpass his classmates for a month.
In this way, after the start of the Spring Canton Fair in mid-April and the closing of the Spring Canton Fair in early May, if the patented helium machine of the Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory can really win some overseas orders, the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry will completely believe in its benefits.
Then the trip to Iraq in May was a certainty.
The qualifications are all boiled little by little, proven little by little, and it is useless to be anxious.
While Anfen was studying hard, his classmates' pursuit of him and his "big eater" gradually subsided.
The classmates don't know how many benefits he has received, not to mention that these benefits are not earned by the field in the end, but because he deserved it for his technological innovation in middle school, so no one is jealous of him.
After mixing caviar next to Gu Biao for a few days and thoroughly eating and wiping Gu Biao's Cuban chocolate, the cattle scattered as birds and beasts and no longer pestered him.
Gu Ao's values in later generations are quite incomprehensible: Caviar!
After 30 years, the Astrakhan Volga white sturgeon caviar is worth nearly a thousand dollars in a large jar (32 ounces of standard caviar, about 900 grams).
But these animals don't know how to appreciate it, so they don't eat it after tasting it - especially the girls in the class who are born with a lot of taboos, and they feel disgusting when they think about fish roe. There are also those who feel fishy after smelling it and refuse to taste it even after a mouthful.
It's another generation gap problem.
……
The day is April 21st, a Sunday.
The Spring Canton Fair has been going on for about five or six days.
Gu Biao got up early in the morning, memorized some obscure political and legal words, and then went out to learn to drive all morning and got a driver's license.
After asking the director of the bag to borrow a car in Yuezhou, he realized that it was necessary to get a driver's license.
In the 70s, the domestic driving test system was so loose that it was not good, basically as long as you could pass the test, the number of training hours was not assessed at all, and there was no special venue for the test, it was directly a road test.
And no one cares about the age of the candidates.
Gu Biao was looking for a friend who was known to Director Bao, and the other party looked at his student ID card as a college student and directly let him learn - as for whether there will be college students under the age of 18, they don't even care about college, why should a driving school care?
Gu Biao had taken the test in his previous life, but he had only driven the automatic transmission for many years, so he stepped on the clutch and was rusty, and it took three Sundays to completely learn the driving part. The other party directly gave him a certificate first, and then asked him to come back to learn to repair cars at that time.
After getting his driver's license, Gu Biao happily went back to school and prepared for lunch.
He first went to the dormitory aunt, took the canned caviar stored in the refrigerator, opened it, and saw that there was still half of it.
This is his third can of caviar.
Director Bao gave a total of six cans in the whole box, and the first two cans were eaten very quickly, and the students also wanted to try them. The third can couldn't be stuffed at the beginning, and almost only Gu Biao ate it himself.
In the final analysis, the food treatment at the Foreign Affairs University is too good, and now it has developed to the point that there is a meat dish every day, even if it is not steak, it will be roast duck and roast chicken, or German-style salt-baked pork feet (anyway, it will not be Chinese food, it belongs to teaching needs)
The students have been full of oil and water for more than half a year, and they have gradually become arrogant and lascivious, and many things are not rare.
Gu Biao knew that the caviar after opening would not be long in coming.
In particular, the higher the caviar, the lower the salinity of the pickle and the higher the content of unsaturated fatty acids such as fish oil, which are the most perishable.
"I've been in the refrigerator for three days, no, I have to finish it today. It's going to be bad if you put it down again, what a pity. Gu Biao thought about it, and naturally began to think about what else he could share.
After seeing through the faces of his classmates who "have meat to eat every day", he felt that it was better to find some poor friends to share.
"Why don't you go to Beijing Normal University next door to take a look, Xu Mengrou and Ren Yuqin's two girls shouldn't have the opportunity to open meat every week, maybe they will be grateful to the top of the worship. ”
Gu Biao thought of the low-key and beautiful dance partners at the two early dances, so he decided.
Taking half a jar of caviar, he pedaled on his bicycle and turned west, crossed the Baita Temple and rode two more stops to Beijing Normal University.
He really knows the detailed address of the dormitory of those two girls, so he doesn't need to ask for directions-
It's all because Ren Yuqin, a quiet literary young woman, although she hasn't visited him this semester, she has already written two long letters.
Every month, I transcribe all my latest prose poems, hymns and other literary works, and ask Gu Biao to correct it, saying that it is a pen pal. The envelope also detailed the addresses of both parties.
It's just that none of these two letters were really sent to Gu Biao by post.
They are all Xu Mengrou's fiery Northeast girls, and they went to Gu Biao's school to deliver them after taking them directly. It's just that Gu Biao is not in the capital, so he can only hand it over to the dormitory manager aunt for forwarding.
Gu Biao rode to the bottom of the dormitory building, and without getting out of the car, he stepped on the ground with his legs directly, ready to catch a passing girl to report the news.
The old-fashioned 28-inch men's bicycle had a high bar in front and the seat was not comparable to the unisex bikes of later generations. If it weren't for a height of 1.8 meters, it would be impossible to step on the ground with both feet at the same time.
Gu Biao was 1.7 meters when he graduated from junior high school, and now two years have passed, because the quality and nutrition level of the food at the Foreign Affairs University far exceed that of other units, so Gu Biao's height has risen very significantly.
And none of his classmates can compare with him - who let those boys go to college at least 18 years old, although the nutrition is good, but they miss the development period.
He went downstairs with such a tall figure, and with that clothes, it looked like a Hong Kong product. So even if it's just riding a bicycle, it still quickly attracts the attention of countless girls.
"Classmate, are you from the 78th grade of the Faculty of Arts? can you help me call Xu Mengrou from dormitory 304, or Ren Yuqin. ”
Gu Biao caught a girl who took the initiative to come up and ask for help.
When the other party heard that he was looking for someone, he was slightly disappointed, but he was still willing to help.
But she also had a look at it, and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"
Gu Biao was right when he thought about it: "You said that a friend from the Foreign Affairs Academy came to look for them." ”
"Foreign Affairs Academy?" the girl who reported the news was shocked.
Half a minute later, Gu Biao heard a burst of ping-pong in the corridor, and then two girls rushed out, it was the two female companions at the Christmas Eve dance.
"Gu Biao, why did you come to us?" said quickly, finding a place where no one was.
Xu Mengrou had the nervous expression of an underground worker, and she directly grabbed Gu Wei's arm regardless of her shame, and then looked at all the girls passing by with a guarded eye, as if everyone looked like "there are always people who want to be green".
Gu Biao was embarrassed by her solemn appearance.
Or a restrained and careful girl like Ren Yuqin had sharp eyes, saw Gu Yu's embarrassment, and hurriedly dragged her best friend to relieve the siege: "Xiaorou, don't be like this, otherwise Senior Gu will not dare to come again next time if there is nothing important." ”
As soon as she heard that the consequences were so serious, Xu Mengrou immediately let go of her hand.
Gu Biao threw a knowing smile at Ren Yuqin.
"Xiaoqin still understands me, in fact, it's really no big deal - it's just that the foreign trade department sent some Soviet caviar, and no one ate it after it was opened, it's a pity that it's broken. Gu Biao said, shaking the wrapped can in the car pocket.
Xu Mengrou, a bold foodie, was immediately unkind, and snatched it first: "Let's go, I just haven't had lunch, let's go to the cafeteria together, the main dish sister invites you, rub you to order caviar." ”
Ren Yuqin followed behind, thought for a few seconds, and asked with a faint smile covering her sleeve: "Senior Gu, is the welfare of your Foreign Affairs Academy really so good? Your classmates don't even bother to eat caviar? ”
However, before Gu Biao could answer, Xu Mengrou stopped her: "Xiaoqin, why are you asking so much, and it's not to check the household registration." ”
The three of them talked and laughed at the sixth cafeteria of Beijing Normal University, which is full of departments such as the School of Liberal Arts and Foreign Languages, so there are especially many female students, about seven or eight times that of male students.
It's a pity that people nowadays are dressed plainly, and college girls are all blue-gray at a glance, and they are all wearing military pants or similar cuckoos.
dares to wear bell bottoms like Xu Mengrou, or Ren Yuqin's over-the-knee skirt (showing her calves), it is estimated that less than one-third.
In order to entertain Gu Biao, Xu Mengrou specially tightened her belt and bought three meat dishes, spending a full six taels of meat tickets. As for how to spend the rest of the month, she couldn't care about it.
In the end, it was Gu Biao who insisted on giving money and only let her issue food stamps and meat stamps, and this matter was over.
"She's always been so reckless, senior, don't laugh at her. I'll give her half of the meat ticket, don't worry. Ren Yuqin was on the side, smiling and explaining after helping the room to be friendly.
