Chapter 10: Go with the Wind

In addition to costumes and flower umbrellas, there is also a special kind of cigarette that became popular during the same period.

I don't know exactly when it started this year, but a unique scenery appeared on the roadside in the capital - unlicensed cigarette stalls.

All you need is a broken three-wheeled car, a piece of cloth, and a few boxes of expensive "red plum", "jade", "Temple of Heaven" and other in-demand cigarettes, and it can be opened.

The people who do this have some ways to take advantage of loopholes in the period when they sell cigarettes in state-run stores.

As for who is the master with "real skills", it can be seen at a glance.

Because on his cigarette stand, there will definitely be white label cigarettes that are simply packaged on white paper.

The origin of this cigarette is very mysterious, and there are many types.

Like Qianmen, Pegasus, Peony, Huhai, Phoenix, Golden Deer, Gaole, Glory, Jindeli, all of them.

But in fact, it's boring to say it.

Dare to love these cigarettes are because of the difficulty in transferring tobacco leaves during the special period, Huhai Cigarette Factory has been approved by the superiors, and since 1979, it has used secondary products to produce "processed tobacco".

Normally, these cigarettes are disposed of for domestic sale, which is only a benefit.

However, after being transferred to these tobacco dealers, they can sell them at the same price as the original product.

There are even more immoral masters among the cigarette dealers, and in order to sell them at blacker and higher prices, they deliberately boast of these processed products as "internal supplies for the army".

However, some of the common people are superstitious about privilege and like to spread gossip, and they even take the initiative to spread this story for them.

As a result, a trend of "white label cigarettes" was formed, and many people believed it to be true and fell for it.

As for these peers, it has no impact on the trading of "naughty children" and "straights", and they are even quite popular with both of them.

Because of these mobile troops, the two of them don't have to go to the suburbs at all.

It is more convenient to give low-priced cigarettes directly to these tobacco dealers, or to dispose of those cigarettes that have been collected and left on hold for too long.

Why not?

In addition, this year has also created a desire for functional upgrades.

Interestingly, the concept was born from the envy of the bike's acceleration shaft.

In 1982, bicycles had become popular, and some people who had already bought "private cars" began to advocate the installation of accelerated axles in order to continue to maintain their inner sense of superiority.

At that time, I went to the Dengshikou bicycle shop to do this, and it was also a chase of the wind, just like a well-known club.

The specific brands include Elephant (imitation of the British crest), Beijing brand, peacock brand, peony brand, Jingyue brand (imitation of Japanese leap), iron anchor brand and so on.

Most of them are 3-speed inside, but there are also 5-speed inside.

Don't look at the price, the best is dozens of yuan, a month's salary.

Compared with other people's normal pedaling for several laps, the car with the accelerated axle is much more leisurely, and there will be a "da" sound.

It's still noisy, isn't that the difference?

So the owner who spent the money was immediately different, pedaling such a car, revealing a sense of arrogance.

It's like driving an imported car now and looking at a domestic car.

If you want to talk about vanity, from this point of view, it is indeed a little.

But then again, this is also a reflection of the improvement of the economic conditions of the common people.

If you don't have a lot of spare money, who's going to do this, right?

Of course, some people may say that these are things that adults like, and they are purely materialistic, but it does not prove that the social wind is starting to target money, at least in terms of spiritual enjoyment.

This is really a bit early and idealistic.

New era, new characteristics, change is all-round.

Don't say anything else, just talk about the child.

Children's games like the past, such as "saving candy paper", "crutches", "wrestling triangles", and "homemade chain guns", have now been eliminated.

The upgraded version that replaced it is "shooting foreign paintings", "water guns", and "playing glass balls", which are said to be cheap, but they are all bought, which one does not need money?

That is to say, "Villain Book" and "Crotch Riding a Bicycle" are still "traditional preservation projects" favored by children, but this still has to have a material basis.

For example, Hong Jun is obsessed with learning to drive now, and secretly uses Hong Yanwu's bicycle to go out to practice every day.

Okay, when Hong Yanwu discovered this secret, a well-packed crested crested head had a tendency to fall apart, and it would sound straight out as soon as it was pushed.

If you ask later, it's better not to ask, because it's even more angry to ask.

"You kid, why don't you use your father's phoenix practice? What kind of car do I have? I don't know which one is more expensive and which one is cheaper?"

"You know, you're expensive, my dad's is cheap. ”

"Then you still practice with this car?"

"Hey, isn't it because it's your car? No matter how expensive it is, if it is broken, you can repair it and buy it again. But our car is different, my dad only earns a few of them? It's really broken, and he's distressed, don't I have to suffer with it?"

"Yo he, not only are you inside and out, but you're also 'looking for soft pinching' with persimmons, boy, I'm better than your dad can beat people......

"Hehe, third uncle, who is with whom, don't be so stingy. Besides, I listen to you, too. Don't you always say that choice is important......"

That's right, this kid has the genes of the Hong family, and he is a spirit in accounting, and he is the first in the whole grade in abacus class.

How it was suitable, he knew in his heart.

What's more, the face and mouth have also been trained with Hong Yanwu.

This has become a refinement, what can you do with him?

And once you've learned it, are you going to let him continue riding?

Hey, so it's not cheap to learn a bike.

In addition to these, the same is true for reading, movies, and TV series.

Presumably, anyone who knows how to read knows Qiong Yao and Jin Yong, whether they like their books or not.

In 1982, there was no copyright awareness in the mainland.

Although no publisher has officially authorized it, pirated books have become blatantly bestsellers.

The price is not cheap, one more than a piece, twice as expensive as a serious book.

But that still doesn't stop people from getting craving.

In particular, boys and girls in middle schools will find ways to devote all their financial resources to these two kinds of spiritual food.

And then indulge in the world regardless of classroom and extraordinary.

It was from Qiong Yao's words that the girl knew for the first time that love could be talked about like this.

The boy experienced the chivalrous demeanor and the dream of happiness and revenge from Jin Yong's story.

It's just that once it is discovered by parents or teachers, it will definitely have no good fruit to eat, or even be beaten and punished.

However, this thing is addictive, and it still doesn't change and can't be caught.

Shui Qing's sister Shui Lian is a typical example, a fourteen-year-old girl who was fascinated by Qiong Yao to the point of trance.

She did not hesitate to lie about the cost of textbooks and stationery, saved up to buy Qiong Yao's books, and then exchanged them with her classmates.

As a result, I couldn't help crying when I watched it at night, and I was discovered by Shui Lan.

This is good, the Shui family almost turned the sky upside down, and Shui Lian just didn't want to cry.

Her "Outside the Window" and "I Am a Cloud" are gone, not to mention, and she was beaten by Aunt Shui.

From then on, it was not so easy to ask for money from the family, and it had to be signed by the teacher.

And the whistleblower Shui Lan took her book and ran to the unit to look at it.

This matter, Shui Qing felt a little sorry for her sister, but she couldn't protect it, for fear of early love, for fear of affecting her studies.

Unexpectedly, after this, Shui Lian's academic performance plummeted, and even people became listless.

Later, Hong Yanwu saw that Shui Qing was in a hurry, so he deliberately persuaded her a few times to wake her up.

Hong Yanwu said that the book was useless, but as long as the degree was appropriate, it would not necessarily hurt to see it.

It's love that isn't fake, but the little girl is a little curious, and she will never fall in love after reading it. Besides, there's no place to find that Prince Charming.

If everyone is watching, but you don't watch it, it will naturally make your classmates reject, but you will become an outlier and feel lonely.

It's better to use this as a reward, and maybe it can also restore Shui Lian's academic performance.

Later, Shui Qing opened the grace and three chapters of the Water Ripple Covenant.

promised that as long as her academic performance went up, she would spend her own money to buy it, carry her family behind her back, and show her on weekends.

Don't say it, it's really smart. It didn't take long for the water ripples to be at the top again.

And after knowing what was going on, the little girl naturally had a good impression of Hong Yanwu.

As for movies and TV series, the price of these two things has not increased.

But there is one thing, the phenomenon of commercial consumption caused by them should not be underestimated.

For example, this year, although many classic films such as "Wrangler" and "Old Things in the South of the City" were released, the overlord on the movie screen was "Shaolin Temple".

This kung fu movie not only caused a surge in the number of tourists in Songshan, but also triggered a "martial arts fever".

prompted people across the country to go crazy and issue a call of "I want to practice martial arts", which also caused many children to leave home and go to Shaolin Temple to learn art.

Even children who don't have the guts are crazy.

Some people religiously watched "Shaolin Temple" five times, or even ten times, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds in the toy category became their ultimate goal of pestering their parents

In the end, his brain was hot, and he even shaved his head bald.

I feel like this, I am close to the warrior monk, and I also have a horizontal kung fu practice.

As a result, even the old man took the children, and the "bright spots" and "rubbing" on the street skyrocketed, which also made the barbershop's razor craft popular again.

A master like Shui Gengsheng, who can play with razors, has become the busiest person in the barbershop again.

No one has made specific calculations back then, but it should have played a role in saving electricity to a certain extent.

I want to come to the power supply system from the bottom of my heart, and I thank the crew of "Shaolin Temple".

What's even more interesting is that when it comes to young people, it's the other way around.

Because around the same time, what caused a sensation on the TV screen was the 3-episode domestic TV series "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple", which tried to explore the complexity of human nature.

Liu Sijia, portrayed by Chen Baoguo, is an image of a rebellious young man, which is particularly in line with modern aesthetic tastes.

So out of admiration, many gentlemen in the capital went to the perm department of the barber shop to line up, wanting to immediately change the "youth-style" and "one-sided" hairstyles that have been popular for many years, and change to a big sideburns curls like "Liu Sijia".

At this time, the famous "whitening" and "Silian" in Beijing were ahead of their peers, and almost all of them introduced the kind of perm equipment full of wire clips.

In this way, "explosive" and "chrysanthemum top" were born, and this fashion style swept the capital at once.

But to be honest, it is not necessarily true that young men like such alternative looks.

Most of the time it's because you don't have to blow the wind when you get up late, which saves trouble, which is the secret that men don't need to say.

Similarly, because the image of Chen Baoguo shouting and selling pancakes and fruits in the play is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It was also from this time that the capital's breakfast industry added this "Jinmen" specialty food.

For a time, like a spark burning the plain, you can see the "Jinmen Masamune" pushing the three-way car and burning the iron bell everywhere in the city.

Looking at this momentum, people who don't know still think that Jinmen is not allowed to eat pancakes and fruits, and they have forced the vendors to come to the capital to beg for a living.

And "with or without eggs, one or two" has quickly become a question that many people need to think about in the morning.

Driven by this trend, spending a dime to go out for breakfast, or even bringing your own raw eggs to the pancake stand, has become more and more a common phenomenon in the lives of ordinary people in Beijing.
