Waves run and flow,

Thousands of miles of surging rivers never stop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Exhausted of the world's things,

Mix up and surging a trend.

Is it joy or sorrow,

I can't tell the difference between laughter and sorrow in the waves.

success or failure,

There is no way to see anything in the waves......

It is said that in 1980, Hong Kong's TVB produced a TV series: "Shanghai Tang". As soon as the show was broadcast, it set off a ratings frenzy, and it can be said that it was popular at home and abroad.

This "Shanghai Tang" really began to become a household name in China after 1985. Since then, "Shanghai Beach" has been broadcast first in Shanghai and then throughout Chinese mainland.

"Shanghai Tang" made TV viewers across the country fascinated at that time. In such an era when black and white television sets had just opened up and were not yet fully popularized, many places could be described as "empty alleys" when "Shanghai Tang" was broadcast on TV stations. People waited in front of the TV early to watch the twists and turns of the love-hate entanglement between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng, and watched the gang fights, grievances and hatreds in old Shanghai... It is no exaggeration to say that "Shanghai Tang" has become the coordinates of an era and the unforgettable collective memory of that generation.

In China in the 80s, there was a lack of cultural and entertainment resources, and information was also very closed. The appearance of "Shanghai Tang" has brought people visual and spiritual shock, which can be imagined. Perhaps, the current post-90s and post-00s will never understand that in the minds of that generation, "Shanghai Tang" is irreplaceable, it is a classic among the classics, and it is an eternal "divine drama".

Now Lin Yi is standing on this fascinating "Shanghai Beach", in the evening, I saw that the whole Shanghai Beach is brilliantly lit and full of flowers, especially some red lights and green signboards at night, showing the prosperity of Shanghai.

But it's a pity that unlike the TV series showing, the names on the signboards are all modern, without the slightest breath of old Shanghai. Lin Yi remembers clearly that in the first episode of "Shanghai Tang", those signboards were "Paramount", "Le Gong Ballroom", "Yongan Company", "Sincere Company", "Dahua Restaurant", "Xinxin Company", "Ritz"...

Among them, "Paramount" is "paramount" in English, which means "supreme", and is a famous entertainment venue in Shanghai;

"Yongan Company", "Sincere Company" and "Xinxin Company" were all one of the four major department stores in Shanghai at that time;

"Xindu Hotel", "Majestic Restaurant", and Ritz (luxury hotel, later acquired by Marriott) are all well-known hotels or restaurants.

Looking at it, there are now department stores, McDonald's, casual Internet cafes, and KTVs......

Lin Yi got off the plane and didn't immediately book a hotel room, on the contrary, he just carried a satchel and walked around the familiar and unfamiliar Bund.

The Bund is full of people, and there are many foreigners, which makes people feel like they are abroad, there are some policemen patrolling nearby, Lin Yi was stopped, and he also checked his ID card, it seems that he is too conspicuous to wander around, especially with a satchel, he looks like a jobless vagrant. In Shanghai, the control of this kind of unemployed vagrant is very strict, to put it bluntly, it is to prevent it from happening in the future.

In the 300 places outside, there is a gold shop, which is now very famous, because the gold shop was robbed in broad daylight, and it seems that the robber of the gold shop also carried a backpack around the Bund, just like Lin Yi.

Lin Yi finally understood why his ID card was checked by the police uncle.

……

A little hungry, Lin Yi looked at the flashing McDonald's, he really couldn't whet his appetite, he still liked to eat noodles, but there seemed to be only high-end "pasta" nearby.

Lin Yi thought about it, then stopped a taxi and asked the driver's brother where there was a noodle restaurant. The driver's brother in Shanghai is also very sincere, so he said that there is no pasta. Lin Yi shook his head and said, it's too expensive, I can't get used to it--- are there any knife-cut noodles, braised noodles and the like? The driver's eldest brother said, then I'll take you there.

The taxi ran all the way, passed through the tunnel, and then arrived at a street, and the driver's brother said, come down, this is it, there are many noodle restaurants here.

Lin Yi said thank you, and then paid the fare --- 33 yuan.

The driver's eldest brother drove away, muttering in his heart, can't afford to eat pasta? That's about the fare enough, this guy is stupid.

Lin Yi looked at the signboard, "Tianyi knife cut noodles", and he didn't know if it was the famous noodle shop in Shaanxi. When I went in, there were quite a lot of people, and it turned out that it was the time of dinner, and there were many foreign tourists who ordered noodles here and were eating.

Lin Yi finally found a seat to sit down, and at this time, an uncle in his forties and fifties came over, like Lin Yi, who was also carrying a black satchel, looking at the four seats, and then sat in front of Lin Yi, and said in a western Henan accent: "Young man, no one is sitting here, right?" ”

Lin Yi is funny, you sat down, and asked? He still said politely: "No one." ”

"That's good." The uncle took off his myopia glasses, took a napkin from the table and wiped it on the lens, and then asked Lin Yi, "What did you order?" ”

"Knife cut noodles." Lin Yi said casually.

The uncle smiled, "Then I'll have a bowl of noodles too." After speaking, he beckoned the boss to report the meal. turned around and asked Lin Yi, "Where are you from?" ”

Lin Yi said: "Nandu's." ”

"Oh, it's far away. I am from western Henan, and I am also a neighbor. Then he asked, "What are you doing in Shanghai?" ”

Lin Yiwaner, this uncle is too noisy.

"Let's do something."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yi: "......"

"I'm sorry," the uncle finally realized that he was the most broken, so he said: "I'm old, I love to nag when I meet people, and I came to Shanghai this time alone--- by the way, my surname is Liu, my name is Liu Hongqi, and I work in a government department." ”

Lin Yi: "......" people have already taken the initiative to tell you their details, what can you do?

"My name is Lin Yi, and I don't have any work for the time being."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if young people don't have a job, as long as they are willing to be motivated, a job is easy to find!" Liu Hongqi regarded Lin Yi as a migrant worker who came to Shanghai to find a job.

Lin Yi didn't explain, just smiled.

Liu Hongqi felt that Lin Yi was barbaric, quite shy, and very suitable for his appetite, so he encouraged a few more words, saying that there is nothing difficult in the world, but he is afraid of people with hearts, and said that youth is the capital, when he was as young as Lin Yi, he was still sitting on a cold bench in the organ, his father did not love his mother, but now he is a department-level cadre.

Lin Yiwaner, it turns out that this is still an official, no wonder he is so nagging.

Liu Hongqi seems to have no way to hide his mouth, but the feeling of "self-familiarity" makes Lin Yi have to admire, this person's interpersonal relationship must be very good. Especially when he gets to work with you, you quickly forget that he was still an outsider just now. At least now Lin Yi has begun to call him "Uncle Red Flag". (To be continued.) )
