Chapter 35: Kundu
May 1, 1999 is not only International Labor Day, but also the opening day of the Kunming World Expo. From that day on, in the next ten years, Kunming entered an era of rapid development.
What is the manifestation of rapid development? Prices have risen tenfold, traffic lights have increased tenfold, and air conditioners have been plugged in ten times. Of course, the floating population has also increased tenfold.
Kunming also has a title, Spring City, which means that the four seasons are like spring. One stop in the Sun Dam, people who have not been exposed to the sun can bake you into charcoal flowers in minutes. (This is a bit of an exaggeration) stay in the shade, and after a while it will cool down. It's a bit of a typical highland climate, and you can't sleep without a quilt all year round. You can wear a jacket in the morning, a short-sleeved jacket at noon, and a jacket in the evening. It's beautiful to be able to give the four seasons in one day.
It's just that the current Kunming is completely different from the original, where is it reflected? The main thing is the climate, originally in Kunming, there may not be many people who know what air conditioning is, now in the summer to Kunming, no air conditioning at night, it is estimated that it is difficult to sleep. Not on the heat, of course, but on the air-conditioning. What does this mean? I don't know.
These are all what Qi Botao told me, it seems that he is quite familiar with this side, and in the afternoon Qi Botao took a group of us to go around the ethnic village, and I felt very good. I also bought a lot of small things, some of which were brought to Lu Jieyu. When the village vendors saw that we were so generous, they came up to surround us, and I was so embarrassed that I asked for whatever they wanted, and I almost didn't fill the trunk. The nature of this place is the same as the Wuhou Temple and Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, a must-see place for tourists, and the locals basically don't patronize it, mainly because they don't find it very interesting.
The flight attendant who looked at Huaxia on the plane arrived as scheduled, and I had to say the word "service" to Huaxia again. I did my best to get her out of the clutches, but she got out of the door on her own. I can't stop it.
They eat too much fish and meat, so they will arrange to eat some unique snacks in Yunnan in the evening. Qi Botao took us to a restaurant that seemed much more decent than noon.
I asked Qi Botao, "Didn't you say eating snacks?" What are you doing at the hotel? ”
Qi Botao said: "Brother Lai, in this place, you can eat all the snacks in Yunnan, everything?" ”
When the dishes were served, I was really dazzled, and if it wasn't for the waiter who reported the names of the dishes in turn, I wouldn't have recognized a single dish. For example, there are more than a dozen dishes such as red three chops, bacon barbecue, rock sugar golden ear pigeon eggs, loach and drill tofu. I haven't even seen these in normal times, not to mention eating.
Of course, none of this is a serious matter for Huaxia, and the theme is entirely focused on the evening activities. Location of the event. Kundu is located in the center of Kunming. It's like Sanlitun in Beijing and Jiuyan Bridge in Chengdu. What are you doing here? It's nothing more than drinking, pickling girls.
I wasn't interested in the bars and the beauties here, so they found a random bar and sat down. I went to find the legendary little garden in Kunduli, where I met the "security guards" I had admired for a long time. I'll go. It's better to be famous than to meet. A small garden was crowded with hundreds of people. Unlike real security guards, they don't wear uniforms, and they are young, with messy hair, fancy dress, and chatting. Smokers smoke, appear to have nothing to do. But I know it's just a superficial thing, and if they get called, they'll be in no minute at any of the night clubs in Kundu. To put it bluntly, this group of people is a social miscellaneous person, etc. It's not a proper job, but it's better than being out there and harming society. They are paid on a daily basis. Where does the salary come from, of course, it is given by the eldest brother, so where does the eldest brother's money come from? The owner of the night club in Kunduli will hand over the money to the leading brother at the time, this money used to have a name, but now it is not used, now it is called the property management fee. The property management fee paid to us is a concept.
I've seen the idols in my heart, and I'm also waiting to go back to find the organization. If it weren't for the strange way these guys looked at me, I really wanted to stay a little longer, but I was afraid that they would find a random reason to beat me up, such as that I was ugly or something.
They had been waiting for me for a long time, and as soon as they saw me come back, they immediately pulled me to the middle and sat down, and without saying a word, poured wine into my mouth, making my chest wet with a large patch.
Hua Xia said: "I know that you are not honest in the dog days, and you went to the jungle behind our backs, right?" ”
I wiped my chest with a tissue, and subconsciously glanced at the stewardess next to him and said, "You are called a jungler, and Lao Tzu went out to buy cigarettes." Then he took out a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them on the table.
During the meal, Huaxia introduced everyone at the table to the flight attendant. But when it was Huaxia's turn to introduce the flight attendant, he let the flight attendant go on her own. I laughed at the time, he didn't know the woman's name, how to tell everyone, it was impossible to say that he had just hooked up on the plane, and he didn't even ask the name, just used it to solve the physiological needs at night.
The flight attendant's name is Tian Tian, a native of Shanghai, and now she basically lives in Chengdu. This is called fate, and you can't escape the fate of being eaten. Hua Xia's hand had already been wrapped around her waist, and she picked it from time to time, making her heart beat faster and her face red. I can only pretend not to see. I often hear that the little girls in Shanghai like foreign devils, and a complete Sichuanese in Huaxia, without a little exotic customs, has even entered her eyes. It seems that these words are not entirely true.
When we drank together, Tian Tian picked up the cup every time, but only put it to his lips and took a sip, just looking at the lips that were a little wet, and he didn't see how much wine went down. When we said Cheers, she simply said that she didn't know much about drinking.
During this time, I carefully observed this woman's every move, and whenever Huaxia looked at her, she would deliberately pull the hair of her face behind her ears to reveal her fair neck. When the music is very rhythmic, her little fingertips will beat slightly to the rhythm. If it was only her and her close friends here, she would have drunk a long time ago. Now you are still pretending to be with me, don't think that only I can see it, these women's little tricks Huaxia has long been surprised. They are no different from a piece of plastic wrap in front of Huaxia, they are seen through, and they are broken when they are stabbed.
If Hua Xia didn't know the details of this woman, his claws would not be so cheap.
After a long time, I realized that someone had been absent all along. I asked Qi Botao: "You Captain Qiu haven't looked at anyone since he finished eating, I thought he took a taxi and followed us." ”
Qi Botao said: "He went back to the hotel to rest, saying that he was not suitable for this kind of occasion and was too noisy. ”
I think Qiu Xu's words have been polite, if I were him, I would have slapped Huaxia with a big mouth to help Li Xin get angry. Although I don't know what happened between Huaxia and Li Xin, it must have been Huaxia who dumped people. Qiu Xu and Li Xin are colleagues, and they usually treat her as a sister, and he will stand by Li Xin's side in public and private. To be able to have dinner with us today is beyond my expectations. It's not that he doesn't adapt to the environment of the night club, but he doesn't adapt to our group of people, and to put it mildly, he is ashamed to be with us.
This guy is not interesting enough, so if you have a good time working together, you should say hello before leaving. Just left silently, what is this?
Zhou Hao and Qi Botao played fists, Huaxia and Tian Tian flirted so much that it was almost broadcast live, leaving only me and Xu Mingxiang bored with the contents of the cup.
At this time, the two adjacent tables next door quarreled for some reason, and then began to fight, one table was less crowded, three young men, but these three people could be called tough guys, not at all cowardly, and scuffled with the people at the other table. It seems that the side with few people will have some kung fu in his hands, and the routines are decent, but his two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and he slowly began to fall into the downwind, and his head was knocked by an unknown number of wine bottles, and his face was bleeding. To say that this bar is really professional enough, the fight is so lively, the music is non-stop, the sense of rhythm is strong, and the fight is more exciting.
I wanted to go up to persuade me, but I was stopped by Qi Botao and said, "Brother Lai, we are here to drink, there is a free play to watch, let's watch it quietly, don't make any extraneous branches." ”
I don't think this kid is really suitable to be a police officer, and this is the time for him to step up and not be a turtle with a shrunken head like he is now.
Just when they were almost helpless, a large number of young men poured in from the door, this group of fellows was the same group I had begun to see in the garden, and now they had an extra steel pipe in their hands, and I saw them surround the three men, and raised their hands to hit them with the steel pipe. I really couldn't stand it, and yelled, "What the hell? ”
I don't know when my voice became so loud that it overshadowed the sound and yelled at the crowd to the point that it really stopped.
When they reacted, one of them pointed at me with a steel pipe and said, "Bandit, is it looking for death?" Sit back and drink your wine. Otherwise, your mother won't even know you. ”
To be honest, I immediately regretted it as soon as I shouted like that, and at this time, if I was a bird, my hair would be plucked. Just when I thought I would lose face, Qi Botao stood up and pulled out his police ID card, gestured in front of the group of "security guards", and said, "You all want to fucking take a free day trip to the detention center, don't you?" ”
One of the gangsters walked out, dressed decently, looking relatively normal, nodding at Qi Botao for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, officer, I have swept away your interest, the little brothers are not sensible, I will let them disperse immediately." After saying that, he waved his hand, and this group of guys was really organized and disciplined, and they walked away in an instant.
The three men who had been beaten were bleeding a lot, but they were still standing straight, and they looked at me gratefully before turning away.
The field returned to normal, and as soon as I sat down, Huaxia said: "Laizi, you Gua Wazi can do a very good job, if it weren't for Bo Tao, your baby would be beaten comfortably tonight." ”
Qi Botao's face flushed, and he said: "Brother Lai must be blaming me for why I didn't help them in the first place, I want to tell you that those three people are all soldiers, even if we don't help them tonight, that group of people can't do anything about them." And I think it's going to get a bit of a big deal out of it, and we're going to get a lot of trouble here. ”
When Huaxia heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Hammer, do you still have a play to watch?" That would have to call for another dozen drinks. (To be continued......)
