Chapter 34: Harbin City
The train ran for more than 5 hours to arrive in Harbin City, Guan Yuan studied in the university in this city, looking at the familiar train station, the feeling of things being different spontaneously.
As a provincial capital, Harbin City is naturally different from Yun County. The road is wide, street vendors can be seen everywhere, and people are more varied, just look at Guan Yuan, almost half of them are wearing bell bottoms, and a few girls have curly hair.
After seeing too many clothes from later generations, Guan Yuan looked at how old-fashioned these antiques looked, especially the curly hair, which was as hot as instant noodles.
Occasionally, a young man on a bicycle with a radio on his body walking through the street will cause the crowd to exclaim.
These were all strange to Zhao Shenggu, and he watched them back and forth with great interest. "Xiaoyuan, this Harbin city is really lively"
"This is nothing, in the future, it will be a small county town that will be much more lively than this," Guan Yuan said to Zhao Shenggu.
Both of them were tired from the car ride, so they wanted to find a place to stay. After asking many people, I found the only guest house in Harbin City, and when I went in, a middle-aged woman was registering at the front desk, and when she saw Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu wanting to live, she asked, "Do you two have a letter of introduction?" โ
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu shook their heads.
"Is that a business trip?" The woman continued, her attitude was quite kind.
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu shook their heads again.
"That's the case, if you go out on business and have a letter of introduction, we don't charge money here, if you don't have it, you have to give money, there are 2 yuan, 3 yuan, and 5 yuan, what kind of residence do you want to live?"
Zhao Shenggu said: "Auntie, you can take us to see it first"
"Okay, follow me" The woman took Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu to see the room, and finally Zhao Shenggu chose 5 yuan a room, this one has a separate bathroom and hot water, and breakfast is also provided.
When Zhao Shenggu paid the money, the middle-aged woman looked at them carefully. smiled and said, "I can't see that there are still two rich people!" Anything calls me, I'm down there."
"Okay, you are busy first" After Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu sent the women away, they entered the room and locked the door. There were so many people on the train, and it was dirty, so Zhao Shenggu boiled hot water and took a hot bath with Guan Yuan.
Looking at the water heater in the bathroom, Zhao Shenggu praised: "This thing is really good, we can also install one when we go back"
Guan Yuan laughed: "This is going to be burned with electricity, we haven't even had electricity in the tun yet, but it's going to be soon, and we can be powered this summer."
Hearing that there was going to be electricity, Zhao Shenggu became excited: "If it is electrified, we can also buy the TV you said, and watch the news broadcast when the time comes."
"If you want to watch the news, you can also buy a radio, and the radio will receive more channels."
Zhao Shenggu waved his hand: "Okay, then let's buy it"
Guan Yuan burst out laughing, feeling that when Zhao Shenggu said this, he was especially like those nouveau riche. The two talked for a while, and then their stomachs gurgled and they sang about the empty city plan, and it was not too early to see that it was getting dark, and the two of them were ready to go out to eat something.
When I went downstairs, the woman in charge of registration was having dinner, and when she saw Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan coming downstairs, she said affectionately: "Are you going to go out for a walk?" โ
Zhao Shenggu nodded: "Go out and eat something"
"Yes, yes, most of the world is not as big as eating, and children have a delicate spleen and stomach and can't stand hunger. If you want to eat, I'll introduce you to a restaurant, not far from this street, there is a noodle seller, she tastes very good, I often go there to eat! โ
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu thanked the middle-aged woman, and it happened that Zhao Shenggu also wanted to eat noodles, so the two followed the path pointed by the middle-aged woman to find the noodle restaurant.
The noodle shop should not have been open for long, the store is a little small, there are only four tables inside, the rest are placed outside, look at the business is not bad, the inside is full, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan sat outside, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a little lame foot walked over, with a warm smile on his face: "If you want to eat something, we have all kinds of noodles!" โ
"Xiaoyuan, what do you want to eat?" Zhao Shenggu asked Guan Yuan.
Guan Yuan thought for a while, "Let's have a bowl of somen noodles and put more vegetables" Selling meat at home, Guan Yuan is not very interested in meat. Zhao Shenggu also knew that Guan Yuan was injured by eating meat now, so he didn't force him, "Bring me a bowl of lo mein," Zhao Shenggu said to the boss.
"Okay, you guys wait," the lame boss replied happily and went to the kitchen with the order menu. After a while, the noodles came up, and Guan Yuan tasted it and found that it tasted really good.
Zhao Shenggu was happy to see Guan Yuan's food, and he was in a happy mood, and he gave a thumbs up and praised the boss: "Boss, you are so good."
The boss heard that his skills were good, and the smile on his face became brighter, so he simply moved a stool and sat on the edge of Zhao Shenggu's table: "This little brother, it's not my princess who sells melons, I don't just praise you, our ancestors have had an imperial kitchen, do you know the imperial chef?" "This boss is also a guy who likes Kan Dashan, so he won't leave if he sits here.
Of course Guan Yuan knew, but Zhao Shenggu hadn't read any books, and Guan Jiatun didn't have any cultured people, so he really didn't know about this imperial chef, so he shook his head honestly.
Seeing Zhao Shenggu shaking his head, the boss was even more proud: "This imperial chef is a special cook for the emperor and the nobles in the palace, or an official, but then our family gradually declined, and the craftsmanship of cooking noodles remained, not in addition to the four olds, our noodle restaurant was smashed, oh, my leg was also broken at that time" Speaking of this, the boss was indignant: "These turtle grandsons..."
Zhao Shenggu didn't want to hear this, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "What's the boss's surname?" โ
"Well, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Chuan" The boss somehow looked at Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu very pleasing to the eye, and said something miscellaneous, almost shaking off the situation of his family.
Guan Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, this is too familiar. Zhao Shenggu was also trying his best to endure, and when the noodles were finished, Zhao Shenggu was relieved: "Boss, we finished eating, how much is it?"
Who knew that the boss was unexpectedly generous: "Hey, let's talk so speculatively, it's a friend, a friend eats a bowl of noodles, then you can still collect money"
At this time, a middle-aged woman rushed out, grabbed the boss's ear and said viciously: "What I will say to you, how can you promise me." Dare not take money, today is your friend, tomorrow is your confidant, you don't take money, let's go drink the northwest wind"
The guests eating noodles next to him obviously saw a lot, and laughed when they heard the words: "Lao Zhao, pretend to be generous again."
The boss grinned, "Wife, wife, so many people are watching, save me some face....hey, light"
Zhao Shenggu saw it and quickly took out the money and gave it to the proprietress. The proprietress took the money and โกโก to Zhao Sheng embarrassedly: "This little brother, I'm really not targeting you, it's all this dead man, as soon as others come to talk to him, he won't take any money, and the baby at home is still waiting for food and clothing."
Zhao Shenggu smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, how can I not give money for this food, speaking of which, my surname is also Zhao, and Brother Zhao is still my family."
Zhao Chuan rubbed his ears: "I just said that I am familiar with it when I look at it, it turns out that it is still my family" The proprietress glared at him, and did not answer Zhao Shenggu's words.
Zhao Shenggu thought about it, and knew that the proprietress was afraid that they would be almost fighting the autumn wind, so she didn't say anything more, and took Guan Yuan and left.
"Brother, that boss just now is really interesting" Guan Yuan thought of what had just happened, and felt funny. But I felt a little unhappy that the boss lady was guarding against Zhao Shenggu.
Zhao Shenggu nodded his nose: "I'm not money, how can everyone like it, there's nothing wrong with her guarding against me" Walking all the way back, the sky was already dark, and the street lights on the side of the road were also lit up, Zhao Shenggu sighed: "It's so beautiful"
Guan Yuan looked at the two shadows of the old man who was pulled under the street lamp, close to each other, and nodded: "It's very beautiful". Just as he was sighing, he found that the people behind him were hurrying in one direction.
Zhao Shenggu grabbed a person and asked the reason: "There are fireworks going to be set off at 7 o'clock in the square", Zhao Shenggu asked Guan Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, do you want to go and see it?" โ
"Think"
When the two of them arrived at the square, the fireworks had already been set off, and the fireworks in the sky were like stars, causing bursts of exclamations from the people next to them. To be honest, the fireworks at this time were far worse than those seen by Guan Yuan in later generations, but Guan Yuan looked at Zhao Shenggu beside him, but felt that this was a prosperous life.
After watching the fireworks, it was already more than 8 o'clock, and the two went back to wash and sleep.
"We'd better find someone to inquire tomorrow, after all, we're just spinning around like headless flies," Zhao Shenggu patted Guan Yuan's back and said.
"Brother, no, I'm quite familiar with this place, and I know where the house will be valuable, even if we buy the house and don't do anything, we can wait for it to appreciate!" Guan Yuan reminded Zhao Shenggu.
Zhao Shenggu patted his head: "Oh, yes, why did you forget about you, a prophet" There was ridicule in his voice.
Guan Yuan hammered Zhao Shenggu and turned his back, "Hmph, you actually made fun of me and ignored you."
Zhao Shenggu turned Guan Yuan over, "Really ignore me?" His hand reached into Guan Yuan's armpit and began to tickle. This is simply Guan Yuan's dead end.
was scratched by Zhao Shenggu, Guan Yuan lost his strength, and he couldn't breathe with a smile, "Okay... All right...... I surrender, hahahaha... Elder brother... Don't scratch."
Zhao Shenggu saw that Guan Yuan was almost out of breath laughing before letting him go: "If you ignore me in the future, you will still scratch you, and it is useless to beg for mercy." โ
"Hmph, you'll bully me" The two played and quarreled, and they also felt warm in an unfamiliar environment.
The next day, the two got up early in the morning and went straight to the place in Guan Yuan's memory.
