Chapter 276: Coca-Cola
"Lao Jia, when you first entered the university, how much was your grandfather's monthly living allowance for you? It can't be 300 yuan!" Jia Qianqian suddenly smiled and said with interest.
"600 yuan. Jia Youwei replied very succinctly.
"Huh...... Do you think I'll believe it?" Jia Qianqian said with a peculiar expression of disbelief.
"Is it possible, do you think your grandfather will throw me an unlimited centurion black gold card and swipe it casually?" Jia Youwei asked rhetorically.
Jia Qianqian nodded and said, "It will definitely be like this." ”
"It seems that we are not on the same channel. Do you know that when I was in college, many college students from poor rural areas were reluctant to buy even a bottle of Coke for 3 yuan?
In their minds, 3 yuan is enough for them to live a good day. Save a little more and be able to live for 2 days. Two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of kimchi in the morning are only 5 cents in total.
At noon, a 5 mao vegetarian dish and 5 mao rice, a total of 1 yuan. In the evening, it is also 1 yuan, and 2.5 yuan for the whole day. It's not that they eat a lot, it's that they are hungry fast when they are vegetarians. Therefore, I chose to eat more. What's more, there is not much in a vegetarian dish.
There are also students who only go to the cafeteria to eat with a bottle of tofu or spicy sauce, only eat two meals at noon and evening, and skip breakfast, 1 yuan a day, enough to eat for 3 days.
When I was a freshman, I would go straight to the store as long as I saw a meal in the cafeteria, and when I came out, nine out of ten of my classmates with a bottle of soft drinks such as 3 yuan Coke in their hands were from the city.
Only kids who grew up in the city would have a preference for this kind of thing. Those who take Pepsi are generally from third- and fourth-tier cities, while those who hold Coca-Cola are generally from first- and second-tier cities.
At that time, Coca-Cola was not at all like today's Coca-Cola, and there was a smell of Chinese medicine. Your mom doesn't like the taste the most, so she prefers to drink Pepsi.
Then there is the fact that Pepsi is sweeter, while Coca-Cola is comparatively less sweet. Your mother once told me this in person. Jia Youwei said very seriously.
Jia Qianqian made a long sound of "huh" again. In short, she didn't believe what Lao Jia said. I think it's all fake.
"At that time, what did rich college students drink? For example, people from families like me. What are you drinking?" Tang Weiwei couldn't help but be interested in Jia Youwei's college life at that time.
"Girls from wealthy families like freshly squeezed fruit juices, Taiwanese bubble tea, and generally don't drink carbonated drinks, because they think it will accelerate aging.
Then there was the Taiwanese bubble tea and freshly squeezed fruit juice at that time, I remember asking for 5, 8, 10, which were small, medium, and large cups. As for me, I drink only pure water. Jia Youwei was still serious.
He paused deliberately, changed his words, and said, "I'll add the previous sentence." At that time, it was also very funny. Those who drink Coca-Cola feel more connotative and literary than those who drink Pepsi. ”
"The pure water you drink must be more expensive than any of them, and you're only staring at an imported brand to drink!" Jia Qianqian knew his habits.
"Nonsense. I drank 1 yuan a bottle of the domestic Nongfu Spring. Jia Youwei said calmly.
Jia Qianqian let out a prolonged "huh" sound from his mouth for the third time. Her eyes and facial expression were full of disbelief.
"Listening to you say that, college life is not as good as mine. Jian Jian began to doubt the authenticity of what Jia Youwei said, and said with a smile.
"Why don't you believe it one by one? At that time, when the summer and winter holidays were approaching, there would be two completely different reactions among college students.
It's not a question of going home by plane today, or going home by high-speed rail. Some students are ready early and are looking forward to going home, after all, the food at home is more palatable and they are fat and fat.
And some students are completely indifferent, even if it is winter vacation, like this, even migrant workers are busy returning to their hometowns for the New Year, and it has nothing to do with them.
Nine out of ten of these people are college students from poor rural areas. They are reluctant to spend this money, even on the cheapest green train.
Once again, it's money again. At the beginning, when they came to the university to register, they all came alone with very little luggage.
It's not like some college students who sign up now, not only their parents send them, but also grandparents, grandparents, and relatives who follow the team, all driving cars, with large bags and small bags, as few as a few suitcases, and as many as twenty or thirty suitcases.
You must know that the home of poor college students cannot be reached at one time. At that time, you will have to transfer to a long-distance bus or take a boat. When you arrive at a place, it is necessary to take a motorcycle, even a horse-drawn carriage, a donkey cart, etc., and even go over the mountains and mountains.
It will not be like a classmate from the city at all, as soon as the train arrives at the station, it is a taxi out of the platform, and you get off directly at the door of the house. Jia Youwei's expression was unrelenting.
"Brother, you're exaggerating! Don't talk about money, Teacher Jian, Xiao Tang doesn't believe it, even I don't believe it. Jia Youbin blurted out.
Jia Youwei didn't care whether they believed it or not: "I remember very clearly that my roommate who was in the same dormitory as me didn't go home during the winter vacation of his freshman year.
The university paid all the bills and organized them to spend a Chinese New Year's Eve with fish and meat in the cafeteria, and each of them gave out a red envelope of 20 yuan.
When he told me about it, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was very happy, and he counted and described every dish he ate clearly.
The school only makes this kind of orientation for new students once every time, and then it is gone. After all, you will be an old student in the future, and you will no longer enjoy the treatment of a new student.
On weekdays, whenever he eats meat dishes at a certain meal, he will always say in front of me, his head is dizzy, he has eaten too much pork, and he will show off a little. ”
"Why did that person say it to you alone?" Jia Qianqian asked curiously when he noticed that something was wrong.
"Who told me to dress very modestly at that time, and to be a vegetarian at school, to give people an approachable look, not at all like a proud native born and raised. ”
Jia Youwei once lied knowingly and said that he followed his parents here when he was very young. His parents are from the Northeast who stayed here to work.
The family lived in a basement and did not return to their hometown. He has always deliberately said that his background is low, not high.
"Oh, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't fool a clever hunter. No matter how good your acting skills are, you have deceived many people, but you have not deceived my mother. On the contrary, you were deceived by her. Jia Qianqian laughed presumptuously and said.
