Chapter Seventy-Seven: Coke

The three-day college entrance examination was spent nervously in the hot weather, and it was not until the last day, that is, on the afternoon of July 9, that Song Yuanchao, who had finished the last exam, walked out of the examination room, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

At present, there are five main subjects in the college entrance examination, namely Chinese, mathematics, politics, physics, chemistry, and one English.

However, except for language majors, other majors in English are not required as test subjects, and candidates can decide whether to apply for the exam, and the full score of each of the other five courses is 100 points, and the total score of the five courses is 500 points.

English is also a full score of 100 points, but the English score in other majors is calculated as a score of ten to one in the total score, that is, if you take the English test and take the English test, you will be calculated as a college entrance examination score with 10 points, then the total score will be 510 points.

Song Yuanchao participated in the six full exams, in fact, not only him, Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun also took the English exam, although compared to Song Yuanchao, their English foundation is very poor, especially Gu Jie has never learned English at all, and he can't even memorize 26 letters when he first starts reviewing.

But even so, Song Yuanchao still encouraged them to participate, because the total score in the college entrance examination is extremely important, and if you can get one more point, you will have a little more hope, so why not try your luck in the test?

Out of the examination room, Song Yuanchao rode straight home, and when he arrived at the door, he found that Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun were already waiting for him. The three of them are divided into three examination rooms, and they are not together, and the examination room where Song Yuanchao is located is the farthest, so he is also the latest to come back.

"Brother Yuanchao, why did you come back! It's almost hot to death. Seeing that Song Yuanchao had finally returned, Li Xiaoyun blushed and complained vigorously, the sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon was the most poisonous, and they had been waiting for more than ten minutes when they came.

"My fault, my fault." Song Yuanchao hurriedly laughed, took out the key and opened the door, and then asked Gu Jie to lead Li Xiaoyun up first, he parked the car at the door and turned around and went to the store outside the alley, originally planning to buy a few popsicles, but he didn't want to sweep it and saw a few bottles of drinks on the counter, and his eyes lit up.

"Comrade, how do you sell this Coca-Cola?" Song Yuanchao hurriedly asked.

1978 was an important year for Coca-Cola to return to China, and in early 1979, Coca-Cola returned to the Chinese market after a three-decade hiatus.

And now what Song Yuanchao saw was the first batch of Coca-Cola that had just been put on the counter in the grocery store, the packaging was an old-fashioned glass bottle in the shape of a woman's body, with a bright red bottle cap, and the English logo of Coca-Cola was printed on the glass bottle in white.

"Five cents a bottle, five cents for returning the bottle." The sales lady was chatting warmly with a colleague next to her, and when she heard Song Yuanchao's inquiring gaze, she glanced at the counter and said.

"Comrade, bring me ten bottles!" Song Yuanchao was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the money.

"Ten bottles? Can you drink so much alone? It's a valuable thing. Hearing that Song Yuanchao wanted to buy ten bottles in one go, the eldest sister looked at him in surprise.

"There are guests at home, but I don't drink alone, where can I drink ten bottles alone? By the way, comrade, have you ever been chilled? ”

"Chilled? No no. The eldest sister shook her head, the current refrigerator is a rarity, the store has a freezer and the refrigeration effect is not good, this summer popsicle or something is almost impossible to put down, where is there a place to put this thing.

Song Yuanchao was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, he asked if there was any ice, and if there was, he could buy it.

Ice cubes are available, and every day the store gets some edible ice to sell to nearby residents, who use it to go home to the salt soda distributed by the chilled unit or the sour plum soup they make at home, not to mention that they sell very well.

After spending six yuan, I bought ten bottles of Coca-Cola and a square piece of edible ice the size of a brick, Song Yuanchao directly picked up his schoolbag and hugged it in his arms and rushed home, and when he got home, he went upstairs, Song Yuanchao shouted and shouted for Gu Jie to find out the thermos bucket at home.

"Brother Yuanchao, what is this?" Li Xiaoyun, who was standing in front of the electric fan, was enjoying the cool breeze when she saw that Song Yuanchao was back, and she was still holding a lot of things, and immediately ran over curiously.

"Good stuff!" Song Yuanchao smiled at her, signaling her to help take the Coca-Cola away and put it on the table first, and after the Coke was taken away, Song Yuanchao took out the wrapped ice cubes, then found a towel to wrap it carefully, and then found a hammer and smashed it.

After smashing it a few times, he opened the towel, and the ice cubes inside were already broken, and at this time, Gu Jie also took the thermos bucket.

Song Yuanchao poured the crushed ice cubes into the thermos bucket, and after leaving some leftover, he covered the lid of the thermos bucket first, and then asked Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun to get the cups.

Under the gaze of the two of them, they first put a handful of crushed ice in the three enamel cups, then picked up a bottle of Coca-Cola and bit the lid directly with their teeth, and then poured the Coke inside into the enamel cups.

After making three cups, seeing the two of them staring at the black color on the side, it looked almost like cough potion, and the bubbling Coca-Cola, Song Yuanchao was immediately happy.

"Come on! We drink, I wish us a successful completion of the college entrance examination! ”

Song Yuanchao picked up a cup and motioned to them, Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun, you look at me, I look at you, I am wondering what this thing is? Can you drink this black thing?

But looking at Song Yuanchao's expression, it didn't seem to be a joke, especially the anticipation and urgency in his eyes, and he seemed to be very excited about this thing, the two hesitated and picked up the teapot and touched Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao couldn't wait to take a big sip, and when the coke with crushed ice went down his throat, Song Yuanchao felt that the pores all over his body seemed to open in an instant, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Cool!"

Song Yuanchao sincerely praised that the current cola is really countless times better than that of later generations, which is definitely not an illusion, but the original puree and ingredients in today's cola are very different from those of later generations.

The formula of Coke is the same as the old one, and the concentration is twice that of Coke of later generations, and the puree that uses sucrose instead of substitutes for later generations is simply delicious. Fat Boy Happy Water is indeed worthy of its name, and friends after 2000 will never feel this kind of enjoyment.

Li Xiaoyun saw that Song Yuanchao looked like she was enjoying it, she carefully picked up the teapot and put it to her mouth and took a small sip tentatively.

It was this small sip that instantly made Li Xiaoyun's eyes light up, and then she tasted it again in disbelief, and when she was sure that the taste was right, Li Xiaoyun showed the same expression of enjoyment as Song Yuanchao, and drank it in a big gulp while holding the tea jar.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Half of it was killed in one breath, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but burp, and the heat in her whole body seemed to be discharged with this burp, and she suddenly became much more energetic.

Gu Jie was similar, holding the teapot and gulping it down, smiling and praising this thing as it was really good, it was delicious and relieved.

"Brother Yuanchao, what is this? Why have you never drunk it? After Li Xiaoyun finished drinking, she looked at the few bottles on the side, and Song Yuanchao smiled at her appearance and poured her another bottle with ice. This time Li Xiaoyun drank much slower than the first time, and asked while drinking.

"Coca-Cola, the stuff in the United States, the old Huhai used to have." Song Yuanchao said with a smile.

"It's delicious, this thing is much better than salt soda, no wonder it's called Coke, by the way, why haven't I seen it bought before?"

"Silly girl, this thing will be invisible on the market after liberation, and it has just resumed sales in China this year, and it is a coincidence, I just went to the store to buy popsicles and saw that there were on the counter, so I bought a few bottles and came back for you to taste." Song Yuanchao explained with a smile.

Li Xiaoyun asked about the price, and when she knew that this Coke actually cost five cents a bottle, even if the bottle return fee was four cents and five, she was startled.

Four cents and five, she didn't necessarily have four cents and five cents a week's pocket money in the past, but a bottle of Coke was worth this price, which was too expensive.

But after thinking about it, it's not her own money anyway, Song Yuanchao is a big dog and has money, and others don't know that she doesn't know? Isn't it natural for a big dog to eat and drink a big dog? Immediately, Li Xiaoyun continued to pick up the teapot and drank it again.
