Chapter 500: Breakfast at Pearl
"No, of course not, I'm here to accompany my grandfather for the New Year......" Lin Xiao smiled heartlessly on the phone, "Why do you care about this matter?" Could it be that Miss Gao's heart is budding, what are your intentions against me? ”
"Yes, you're right, when I saw you that day, I couldn't eat or sleep, do you want to look at my dark circles?" Gao Lan listened to Lin Xiao's ridicule, and sneered at each other with some anger.
"What are you looking for me for?" Lin Xiao laughed, and then asked, "I helped you complete the things you arranged for me last time, you don't know, at that time, I took a big risk and ruthlessly exposed Shi Yongchuan's true face directly in the conference room of the Central Political Bureau, and even your father was stunned!" You have to accept my favor for this. ”
It's not because of the last time that I didn't wipe my ass clean!
Miss Gao Lan thought indignantly in her heart, but she could only say this in her mouth, "Yes, I must thank you well, this time is somewhat related to the last time, and I will contact you when I go to Mingzhu." ”
After thinking about it, after all, he was a little relieved, so Gao Lan told him again, "I can get to Mingzhu today, you remember to turn on your phone, otherwise, what should I do if I can't contact you?" ”
"No problem, I promise to turn on 24 hours." Lin Xiao replied on the phone.
Lin Xiao put down the phone, he felt a little interesting, he didn't know what the situation was over there Gao Lan, but in the tone of her voice, it seemed to be more depressed.
Yesterday at the meeting of the Central Political Bureau, Lin Xiao found that Gao Shuming's plan did not seem to be simple, and he had a bit of the idea of driving away the wolf and killing people with a knife, so Lin Xiao pointed out some grievances between Gao Shuming's father Gao Jianxun and Shi Yongchuan at the meeting
He saw it very clearly, Gao Shuming was really confused by the exposure of this matter.
This matter can only explain one problem, that is, Gao Shu clearly has an attempt to use the relationship between his daughter Gao Lan and Lin Xiao to secretly steal interests in Anbei Province
Regarding this matter, although Lin Xiao admired Gao Shuming's methods, he also disagreed, after all, if this kind of thing was said, it was actually a bit unsightly, and it also damaged his positive image.
Originally, Lin Xiao thought that Gao Shuming could become a strong opponent of his father Lin Zhengnan, but now it seems that he is really a little unqualified.
However, this is also a one-hole view on this matter, and it may not be able to see Gao Shuming's whole person clearly.
"What's the matter, look at your phone has not been disconnected......" Old man Lin was exercising in front of the villa, doing a set of exercises taught to him by Lin Xiao, at this time his forehead was slightly sweaty, and when he saw Lin Xiao standing aside, the phone in his hand kept ringing, so he asked with a smile.
"No way, now with this advanced communication method, people don't have a little privacy in their lives." Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, and then added, "Gao Lan, it was the girl from Gao Shuming's family who called, and she still has to talk about the last time, but she has to rush to Mingzhu to talk about this matter." ”
"Is there a problem with Gao Shuming's pattern...... Sure enough, after hearing this, Old Man Lin first shook his head and said, "This kind of thing, you can't do it again, what is the benefit of dwelling on it all the time?" Besides, it's still through the children to run the matter, which is really a little contemptuous of him. ”
Mr. Lin is an old-fashioned person, and he naturally pays attention to a well-founded, reasonable, and restrained approach to doing things, so he is obviously not eye-catching for this kind of approach that is similar to stalking.
At this time, listening to Lin Xiao explain the situation, Old Man Lin didn't have any good opinion of Gao Shuming.
"Perhaps, or maybe it's just Gao Lan's idea." Lin Xiao didn't mind overestimating Gao Shuming, anyway, there was no loss to him.
"Impossible." Old Man Lin waved his hand and said with some disapproval, "A little girl, how can she understand so many things?" If there is no Gao Shuming behind her, there is no reason for her to be so messy. ”
After a pause, Old Man Lin couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao twice, and then asked, "This girl, can't she have any special relationship with you?"
"Nope!" Lin Xiao immediately flatly denied, "I haven't seen her for several years!" If I hadn't suddenly met her in Luocheng, I really couldn't remember her! ”
"Not necessarily, right?" Old Man Lin wiped his sweat with a towel, stared at Lin Xiao with some disbelief and said.
"Why is it that when you tell the truth, no one believes it?" Lin Xiao said helplessly.
Old Man Lin saw it, immediately laughed, and then said, "Let's have breakfast, this girl is quite anxious, she called you so early, if you didn't want to accompany my old man out for morning exercises, you should still be sleeping at this time." This kind of urgency is not a good thing. ”
Lin Xiao nodded, and then accompanied Old Man Lin to the restaurant for breakfast.
The breakfast here in Mingzhu is actually very distinctive.
Back then, soaking rice was synonymous with the breakfast of the Pearl people, the so-called soaking rice, is to get up in the morning, the leftover cold rice last night, add water to boil, this kind of rice is not like rice, porridge is not like porridge things, is the Pearl people to the outsiders to leave a deep impression -
In fact, Mingzhu people's breakfast also includes side dishes eaten with rice, such as pickled melon, fermented bean curd, etc., and salted duck eggs, yellow mud snails and so on.
Of course, eating leftover side dishes from the day before, such as pickles and edamame, is also a good companion for soaking rice.
After Lin Zhengnan came to Mingzhu City, of course, his eating habits also followed the local customs
Therefore, the breakfast of the Lin family is traditional foods such as white porridge, egg cakes, and rice cakes, and some more flavorful side dishes are also added, such as pickles and vegetable salads.
Old Man Lin has a good appetite, so there is nothing taboo in eating, and at breakfast, he usually drinks a small glass of red wine, but he doesn't add any onions or anything like that.
Old vinegar peanuts and onions, it is a must-have small dish, and it is the fastest one for the family to eat, this thing is not only refreshing and appetizing, but also can play a role in softening blood vessels, reducing blood lipids, it is indeed a very healthy home food.
The so-called rice is the most popular folk breakfast variety in the south of the Yangtze River, which is steamed into rice with glutinous rice, wrapped in fritters and kneaded, with the characteristics of soft, tough and crisp, pinched while eating, and has a unique flavor.
Pinch the hot fritters tightly with rice dumplings, or add other ingredients such as mustard, etc., which is very beautiful and economical to eat.
Nowadays, there are a lot of characteristics of the rice, which contains meat floss, ham sausage, salted egg yolk, etc., which makes people eat multiple flavors at breakfast, and eat delicious and full, which is the life concept of modern people.
Lin Xiao's understanding of Jiangnan cuisine is actually not small, but he has not experienced a lot of this traditional snack.
Like this kind of rice cake, it is rectangular, about three or four minutes, fried to crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, take a bite, salty, and a smell of green onions, especially the four corners are the first to be burnt, a little hard, and the bite is very enjoyable.
"The current Pearl City, basically you can't see what it was at the beginning......" Old Man Lin was eating slowly, and at the same time told Lin Xiao about what he saw and heard back then, "In the past, well, that is, thirty years ago, Pearl City at that time was actually similar to most cities in China, that is, the population was larger. ”
What Mr. Lin said was in the early tens of the last century, when he had stayed in Mingzhu City for a long time, so he was more familiar with the situation here and had more right to speak.
All in all, the beginning of the 10s was still the continuation of everything in the 70s, the same poverty, the same confinement, and the same isolation.
For breakfast, I still eat the soak rice, flatbread, fritters, and soy milk, which are known as the Four King Kongs.
Vegetarian dishes were still the main dishes on the lunch and dinner tables, and meat dishes such as meat, fish and so on were rarely seen, because at that time it was still in the era of the planned economy, and everything still had to be ticketed.
"Every time there is a Chinese New Year, there will be rice cake tickets, and at this time, the children of the family will line up to buy rice cakes, and the queue is not visible from the beginning to the end, and the spectacular scene is breathtaking." Mr. Lin said, "At that time, you had to rely on food stamps to buy pastries and cakes, and the black round cakes in the food store were cents, one or two food stamps, the yellow chicken heart cake was nine cents and half a tael of food stamps, and the cream cake was one dime and half a tael of food stamps. In short, people won't sell you without food stamps, and you can't buy anything if you have money. ”
If you don't have a local hukou, you won't have all the stamps and other documents, and you won't be able to find a job without a hukou.
At that time, all the benefits of being a pearl person were all in the household registration book, so the household registration at that time was very important.
At that time, people were still dressed very simply, and few of them wore bells and whistles.
Occasionally, I see people wearing beautiful clothes, all of whom are brought from Hong Kong or Macau by relatives and friends.
Later, there were some avant-garde young people in society, wearing bell bottoms, floral shirts, and mustaches, which are not a big deal now, but they were very out of line in that era of ideological imprisonment at that time, and they were directly defined as hooligans.
The living conditions are not good, in the old days in the house, often a family of three squeezed in a pavilion of about ten square meters, don't look at the small pavilion, but it has a bedroom, living room, and even the function of the bathroom, eating, drinking and Lazar are all in this small space.
Some units with better conditions can also be allocated to new public housing far from the city center, which is a minority after all, and the housing conditions of most people are very difficult.
The traffic situation is also very bad, the bus is very crowded during the rush hour, whenever that time, the station is crowded with people, and finally wait for a bus, the crowded crowd swarms up, regardless of whether it can be loaded on the bus or not, after entering the carriage, the front chest against the back of the crowding is uncomfortable.
Especially in the summer, in the small and stuffy carriage, people huddle together one after another, squeezed all over the sweat, in that impermeable environment, the smell of sweat is sour, and the smell of fox is unbearable.
"Despite the difficult conditions, Mingzhu is still the city that contributes the most and earns the most foreign exchange for the country, and the annual tax paid to the national treasury accounts for half of the country." Thinking of this incident, Mr. Lin also had some feelings, "At that time, almost all the brand-name products in the country came from Mingzhu City, toffee, watches, bicycles, sewing machines, televisions, etc., ......"
At this time, Lin Zhengnan came down from upstairs, and when he saw the old man reminiscing about the old man here, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your old man has mentioned this stubble again, and if you have time today, let Lin Xiao accompany you to take a walk, the current Pearl City is very different." ”
"Don't look at it, there is really nothing to see in the city, except for high-rise buildings, which are high-rise buildings." Old Man Lin suddenly waved his hand with some interest.
Lin Xiao thought about it, what the old man said, it was not wrong, the current big city, except for some differences in the scale of the city, really has no characteristics, everywhere it is a ball, basically all of it is a jungle of reinforced concrete.
