Wang Shaodong and Wang Meina came to the old Jinjia mutton soup shop in Luzhong City at half past four in the afternoon, and planned to eat dinner in this mutton soup shop with ethnic characteristics with a history of more than 100 years.

This is a mutton soup shop opened by Muslims, the materials are very particular, and it is also very clean, and it enjoys a good reputation in Qilu Province. It is said that the owner of this store is worth more than 100 million.

The restaurant is on Long Spoon Road, because it is not a meal, there are not many people eating inside, and there is a long queue at the take-out window outside.

The mutton soup is delicious, but some people can't smell it. The smell of sheep is very special, some people think it is very good, but some people feel that they can't stand it.

In order to suppress the smell of mutton soup, some coriander is usually put in the mutton soup, but the problem comes again, some people don't like to eat coriander. So, there is a little dilemma in the sheep soup shop, what to do, chop the coriander and put it in a bowl, you can put a little if you want to eat, and don't put it if you don't want to. The seasoning is also, put it aside, put some pepper if you like pepper, put more if you like salty, and put more pepper powder, chili powder, cumin powder, monosodium glutamate, etc., are all put in a seasoning box, who likes to pour it into their own bowl.

This is the general way to eat in a big bowl of mutton soup for breakfast, but this way of eating is not suitable in the Jin family mutton soup, the mutton soup in the Jin family mutton soup is all seasoned by the master himself, and he is not used to it when others are blindly adjusted. I have to say that the taste of Jinjia mutton soup is still great.

In the ranking of the top ten sheep soups in Qilu Province, the Jinjia sheep soup in Luzhong ranks fifth, which is also very good. Of course, the first place must be Shanxian sheep soup.

After dinner, it was not yet half past six, and then Wang Shaodong simply drove directly on the highway, planning to go to Quancheng tonight.

Quancheng has lived in Quancheng for more than ten years, and Wang Shaodong is actually more familiar with Quancheng than Luzhong.

The Luquan Expressway was opened at the end of 2002, which greatly shortened the time from Luzhong City to Quancheng. Some people say that Luzhong City is actually the back garden of Quancheng, which is actually reasonable.

Luzhong, the earliest is just a county-level city, but the provincial county, temporarily managed by Taishan City, and later in the early nineties was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, and when it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, some towns and towns came from the surrounding counties and cities. There are only two counties in Luzhong City, Laicheng County and Gangcheng County. Among them, the straight-line distance between Laicheng County and Quancheng is only 200 miles.

Come out of Luzhong City, and then walk along Fenghuang East Street, and then turn around to the north and slightly west direction after getting on the highway, it will take less than two hours to get to Quancheng.

This is only about 100 kilometers of high-speed sections, which is part of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, and the construction standard is still very high, and at that time, let alone the highway, it was on the ordinary road, and there were very few cars. At high speeds, you can step on the accelerator to your heart's content.

Before 2006, driving, that is really cool, and then more and more private cars, and then on the highway, driving, purely to add to the congestion, especially on holidays, the highway is free, on the highway is not as fast as taking the provincial road.

On the highway, Wang Shaodong turned on the rock music on the CD, and the two of them were excited all the way.

"Brother, what kind of song is playing in this thing, why is it so emotional?"

Wang Meina shouted loudly.

"How's it going?"

"Great, I feel like I'm going to explode!"

"Hahahaha, girl, your description is great, I want to give you a thumbs up!"

The conversation between the two people is actually shouted. Not only was there surging music in the car, but Wang Shaodong's car also began to surge.

The maximum speed of the Audi car design is only more than 200 per hour, of course, it is not comparable to those supercars that can go up to three or four hundred, but Wang Shaodong, who has driven more than 100 years before, is driving at a speed of more than 200 per hour at the moment, and he already feels that his heart is about to jump to his throat.

While driving, Wang Shaodong suddenly remembered one thing, that is, many car accidents are accompanied by listening to music, especially fast-paced music. Psychologists say that people's emotions are easily influenced by music, and fast-paced music often makes people drive faster.

"No, it's too fast, I'm going to be dazzled, I think it's better to put some Teresa Teng's songs. ”

Then, "Tales of a Small Town" began to play in the car stereo.

"Well, actually, girl, it's good to be crazy sometimes. ”

Wang Meina nodded, listened to the story of the small town, and closed her eyes.

When the car drove to Lake Yukino, the sky began to overcast and it looked like it was going to rain again.

Lake Yukino later invested more than a billion yuan to create a large-scale tourist place, and then applied for the World Aviation Competition. This world aviation competition has also increased the popularity of Luzhong City.

The popularity of Luzhong City is too small, and sometimes in other places, others who say that they are Luzhong City do not know, but it is better to say that others in Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant know more.

"Brother, where are we staying tonight?"

"We're staying at an Internet café tonight. ”

"Oh. ”

In my previous life, at my age, I was just a sophomore, and I was playing games.

The courses in the university are so easy, you can't take forty classes a week, and Wang Shaodong is not in love, if you don't play games, you don't know how to survive this university......

In my previous life, I used to surf the Internet all night, but now of course I can.

Moreover, in the Happy Time Internet café next to Qilu Normal University, there is a private room, 50 yuan a night, two computers in it, and two single beds, which is cheaper than staying in a hotel.

Moreover, if you are hungry in the Internet café, it is convenient to go to the bar and find the network manager to buy an instant noodle ham sausage or something.

Wang Meina sighed, then closed her eyes and listened to the song quietly.

When I was rocking just now, Wang Meina's mood was very high, and now with soothing music, Wang Meina is very quiet again, she is really a very interesting girl.

After passing Lake Yukino, we will arrive at the territory of Taishan City.

Taishan City, named after Mount Tai, but many people outside Qilu Province mostly know Mount Tai, but do not know that there is such a prefecture-level city as Mount Tai City.

At that time, Luzhong City was under the management of Taishan City, and later when Luzhong City was divided into prefecture-level cities, the personnel transfer was relatively large, and many people from Luzhong City were transferred to Taishan City to work. Then some factories even moved directly to Taishan City.

On the top of the hill about ten miles east of Wang Shaodong Township, there is an arsenal, the local people call Xinhua Factory, which is to make artillery shells, the scale is not small, there are 2,000 workers, and later the whole was relocated to Taishan City.

However, many employees in the Xinhua factory are local to Gangcheng County, and then because their families are settled here, it will be very inconvenient if they move to Taishan City, and then the factory will come out with a policy, and if they are not willing to relocate, the factory will give a one-time resettlement fee of 50,000 yuan, even if they are laid off.

Wang Shaodong's uncle's neighbor was an employee of Xinhua Factory, and he was laid off like that.

50,000 yuan was a lot of money at that time, but it didn't take long for the 50,000 yuan to catch up with the half-year salary of people who continued to work in the factory.

However, in those days, laid-off was a very fashionable word.

On the Spring Festival evening, Song Dandan also pointed to his front teeth and said, "The two front teeth have also been laid off with honor", and those who were laid off were later very miserable, barely enough to eat and wear.

Of course, there will be lucky people for every big change, and some people take 50,000 yuan to do business, and it was very profitable to have such a large capital to do business at that time.

Around 1992, there was a lot of construction in Luzhong City, and there was almost no local timber output in Luzhong City, and there was a great demand for timber in Luzhong City.

Wang Shaodong had heard people say before that at that time, there was a boss surnamed Yang in Laicheng County, who took 50,000 yuan in his hand to Manchuria, where China bordered Russia, and began to sell wood to Luzhong City. At that time, the retail price of timber in the local market in Luzhong City, such as Pinus sylvestris, Pinus sylvestris, Korean pine and larch, was mostly about 200 yuan, and the cost of bringing wood from abroad from Manchuria was only 50 or 60 yuan, and the profit could reach 300 percent.

However, the sages once said that when the profit reaches a certain amount, people will go crazy, and even don't even want to die. There were a lot of timber sellers in Manchuria, and some followed Lao Maozi to Russia and never returned.

The nineties were the era of second-class dealers, and a fur coat of 100 yuan from the capital had to be sold for at least 800 yuan after arriving in Moscow, and then many people desperately tried to wear clothes, so that they could not wear them, and then took them abroad to earn foreign money. It is said that a train from the capital to Moscow can earn 350,000 yuan for a round trip.

Of course, there was a guy who ran to Russia with his bare hands, only to tell them that he had a large amount of canned food in his hand, and asked if he could change a few planes to have fun? At that time, Russia had just disintegrated and the whole society was still in a state of instability, and there was a great shortage of materials, especially for food.

The cowman's canned food impressed the Russians, and the contract was signed, and then the cowman ran back with the contract and contacted several canneries. He had a contract with the gringos, and of course the cannery dared to sign a contract with the cows.

Then, just like that, the cattle man exchanged fifty wagons of canned food for the plane with his bare hands, and made hundreds of millions of dollars at once.

Cattle people are a minority, most of the laid-off people, are ordinary people, leaning on the big tree of the unit, can eat a mouthful, and once they leave the unit, many people are like small fish thrown under the sun, struggling a few times, they become salted fish.

Wang Shaodong's parents were both peasants, and he did not have much profound understanding of the concepts of laid-off workers in the cities, but he only knew that it was a specific historical event that occurred in a specific historical period. As for who is right and who is wrong, I can't figure it out.

When Wang Shaodong and Wang Meina got off the highway, it was already dark. It's autumn now, and the sun is setting much earlier than before.

In 2003, Quancheng was not much different from a big rural village.

The overall planning of Springs is problematic, especially since the city's drainage system is simply not reasonable. The whole city is located in a depression, and when it rains heavily, waterlogging can occur in many places, and if the underground drainage system is not done well, then the water may cause serious casualties.

On July 18, 2007, a torrential downpour fell in Quancheng, and the rapid formation of flood peaks swirled around the city, resulting in the lives of dozens of people. The entire underground mall was filled with water, and all the goods inside were washed into a mess.

Moreover, in 2003, the transformation of shantytowns in Quancheng District was far from complete, and even in 2017, old rural houses could still be seen around Quancheng Provincial Hospital. People have a certificate, and if they don't let you dismantle it, you really have no problem.

After the process, Wang Shaodong drove directly to Qilu Normal University, and then parked the car on the road between the No. 5 dormitory building and the music building. Wang Shaodong remembers that when he was in college, there were always many vehicles parked in this place.

In 2003, most people did not have the concept of private cars, and the large-scale promotion of private cars in the country only began after 2006. So, in 2003, the parking of vehicles was still very casual. It is said that vehicles cannot be parked casually on campus, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually.

The vehicle management on campus is strict, and it has to start with the second generation of the official who shouted "My dad is Li Gang". And that incident happened in 2010, that is, before 2010, no matter whose vehicle was on campus, it could have entered the campus at will, otherwise there would have been no fatal collision.

After parking the car and looking at Wang Meina, who was a little excited, Wang Shaodong said with a smile: "I will invite you to eat spicy tang later." ”

As he spoke, Wang Shaodong took out his mobile phone, and then called Ma Lili's dormitory.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Wang Shaodong asked, "Looking for Ma Lili, is Ma Lili there?"

Ma Lili followed...... Oh yes, who are you Ma Lili?"

"I'm Ma Lili's classmate. ”

"Ma Lili went out, I don't know if I will come back tonight. ”

Wang Shaodong frowned a little disappointed, and then asked, "Do you know what she was doing?" I am her high school classmate, who came all the way from Luzhong, and I plan to have a meal with her tonight. ”

"Have you dated her?" asked.

"No, we also suddenly thought of coming, and only after we came did we remember to ask her to come out. ”

"Well, we can't contact her, otherwise, if he comes back tonight, I'll ask her to call you." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

Hung up the phone, Wang Meina smiled and asked Wang Shaodong: "Brother, do you like Sister Lili?"

Although Wang Meina has never seen Ma Lili, she has seen Ma Lili's photos and knows that Ma Lili is a very beautiful girl and a college student.

Wang Shaodong shook his head a little ambiguously, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, let's eat spicy hot." ”
