Chapter 13: Ghosts in the World

After Zhou Fuxi rode a shared electric car, he began to wander around.

In his life as "Zhou Zehua", he walked all over the streets and alleys of Junsha, and from 1978 to 2004, the whole city has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He never thought that from 2004 to the present in 2023, the development of the city has far exceeded before.

High-rise buildings are only the surface layer of the city, and for a returner like him, after a cursory experience of the surface of the city, a deeper understanding is the inner layer - changes in various details, it seems that a random glance at a corner can produce different feelings against the memories.

He left Baolan Street, rode westward, passed by the "Golden Land", which is still a retail and wholesale market for small commodities and clothing, and then entered the narrow alley of Chunfeng Street.

Hundreds of people queued up here, putting numbers, shouting numbers, customers holding mobile phones to pass the time, and endless streams of delivery people, making the whole alley more and more congested.

Folding tables and plastic stools were placed on the opposite side of the road, and the wall was hung with the words "The wall is falling off here, there is a danger, please do not approach!" The shops and diners don't care at all, one dares to set the table and stools, and the other dares to sit.

Probably there has been no accident, this is the human mind, as long as there has been no accident, I feel fine, or I feel that the unlucky one will not happen to be myself.

Zhou Fuxi remembers that this place used to be a brand restaurant, and the owner later started a noodle business, which has now become a home-cooked restaurant.

The word "flour" on the signboard is probably just feelings, after all, none of the diners who come here are for noodles and flour, and the guys in the store are so busy that they don't have time to make such odd lists as noodles and flour.

looked at the dishes on the table on the side of the road, heavy oil and spicy, and the seasoning was mainly garlic seeds, chili peppers, garlic leaves...... Zhou Fuxi feels that the food here may not be very delicious, but the price is not expensive, and it can leave people with a gastrointestinal memory of a meal, which is the reason why it is popular now, right?

Zhou Fuxi originally wanted to stop by to eat some noodles, but now forget it...... Watching the boss stand outside and stroll, still with his trademark bald head, but with a big gold chain around his neck.

The acquaintances I know are no longer the down-and-out men who can't afford to pay the rent of the card hall back then, and it is estimated that it is difficult to remember the old customers who often came to play cards and eat powder, and disappeared for nearly 20 years.

can't say that, Zhou Fuxi is no longer "Zhou Zehua", and even his appearance has changed.

So I didn't bother to ask the boss if he still remembered "Zhou Zehua", there will always be people in this city who remember this name.

Zhou Fuxi ordered a cup at a nearby hand-made lemon tea stall, and the stall owner said that she had lemongrass in her tea.

"The lemongrass is particularly good, it has a lemon aroma and is also known as lemongrass, so it is very suitable for ...... in this lemon tea"

"Well, I used to roast pigs with lemongrass, and the belly of the pig was stuffed with lemongrass."

The stall owner won't go into the details of how special her lemongrass lemon tea is.

After Zhou Fuxi took a few sips, he took a bag and hung the lemon tea on the handlebar of the car, and then rode around for a while and saw the signboard of "Xu Changxing", so he decided to eat roast duck here.

As a century-old brand, it is not the same as the world-famous BJ roast duck, the duck skin is not so oily and slightly burnt.

The way of eating has not changed much for more than 100 years, it is still one duck and four eats, the duck skin is wrapped in pancakes, the duck meat is fried, the duck rack cabbage sum is souped, and the duck fat is steamed with eggs.

Xu Changxing roast duck is an authentic local origin of Junsha, unlike BJ as a food desert, if it weren't for Zhu Di's relocation of the capital, bringing the masters of Nanjing roast duck and the taste of roast duck to BJ, there is probably no "BJ roast duck" now The signature of BJ cuisine.

As for the bean juice of the old BJ...... Take the words of the Hutong masters: It's not coolies, who drinks that thing?

Zhou Fuxi was full of food and drink, and he was a little emotional, how could he be more like a nostalgic person after running all the way? There are so many new things waiting to be experienced.

With that in mind, he walked into the subway station, which had not yet been opened in 2004.

After experiencing Bai Weian's guidance and half a day's practice, Zhou Fuxi has basically mastered the key to the combination of mobile phones and modern life - either scan the code or light the code, so he successfully entered the station and took the subway.

The subway car is full of air conditioning, and in such a comfortable place, there are not many old men and old ladies to rub the air conditioner.

Zhou Fuxi suspects that it is definitely not that the old men and old ladies don't like to rub the air conditioner, but that there are many places where the air conditioner can be rubbed.

There are not many people in the carriage, according to Zhou Fuxi's observation, in addition to the fact that you can scan the code to enter and exit the station, there is not much difference between the subway stations in BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places 20 years ago.

The operation of the subway bus is much more stable, very stable, unlike the previous subway from time to time a little swaying.

After observing for a while, Zhou Fuxi found that everyone around him was looking at it with their mobile phones, and he was the only one looking around idlely.

Zhou Fuxi couldn't help but feel unsociable in his heart, so he also took out his mobile phone.

He is quite satisfied that he will feel unsociable, and this is the benefit of adjusting his personality with the "Pisces Concentric Plate", so that he can naturally integrate into his current life with the personality and perception of ordinary people, rather than turning a blind eye to it when he was as eye-catching as yesterday.

When he took out his phone, he always felt that some eyes around him fell on his phone.

The corners of Zhou Fuxi's mouth curled slightly, he was used to this feeling.

When he took out some extreme treasures outside the sky, he would also attract all kinds of envious and jealous eyes from other immortals.

Others are either too small or too thin to look like they can concentrate as much functionality as Zhou's submarine 9600.

Zhou Fuxi inadvertently turned on the projector, and in the light environment of the carriage, it was almost impossible to see the projection screen.

This is also normal,Even if it is a projector he used before,Only some high-end products with high-power bulbs,Can be used in such a bright light environment,The lamp used for projection on the mobile phone,The power is definitely not enough。

The projection bulb flashed a few times, and then it was turned off in time by Zhou Fuxi, who did not want to show off his submarine 9600.

"What are you filming?" A girl in a short skirt sitting opposite Zhou Fuxi hurriedly clamped her legs, pressed the skirt hard, and stared at Zhou Fuxi in disgust.

"Nope." Zhou Fuxi remembered that when she met Bai Weianthene in the morning, she didn't seem to like others filming her.

Bai Wei Anthracene didn't show any obviousness, but just deleted Zhou Fuxi's photo, and the girl in the short skirt in front of her reacted very violently, to the extent that Zhou Fuxi was puzzled.

Of course, the point is that this is a misunderstanding, and Zhou Fuxi doesn't want to waste the power and memory of his new phone.

"I said what are you filming!" The girl in the short skirt stood up and glared at Zhou Fuxi condescendingly, her eyes were full of contempt and contempt, and she exuded the momentum of eradicating the evil after catching something.

Zhou Fuxi frowned, he would shoot Bai Wei anthracene casually this morning, that was because he could feel that the puppet puppet actually had a good impression of Bai Wei anthracene, and he was photographed by so many people yesterday, and he just tried his mobile phone today, so he pressed it casually.

He didn't have any reason to pat the woman in the short skirt in front of him.

"You've just gotten into the carriage and you're looking around, and you're sitting across from me in your skirt, aren't you? You sit down and look around, trying to see if anyone might notice you, and then pull out the thing......"

Seeing that Zhou Fuxi didn't speak, the girl in the short skirt was even more convinced that Zhou Fuxi was secretly taking pictures, looked left and right at the onlookers in the carriage passengers, and pointed to Zhou Fuxi's mobile phone: "Look at his mobile phone, it is the kind of machine that is specially used for candid photography, who would use such a mobile phone in a normal person?" ”

Candid camera? Zhou Fuxi suddenly realized that he was regarded as a lewd man secretly photographed in the subway car, which ...... Zhou Fuxi looked at the face of the girl in the short skirt, then reached into the wide trouser pocket, took out a large mirror and aimed it at the girl in the short skirt.

"Poof—"

There was a low burst of laughter in the carriage, and the boy in front of him who was suspected of secretly taking pictures was sunny and handsome, and he didn't look like a lewd man who could take pictures secretly.

It's just that people can't look good, everyone still stays on the sidelines, how do you know that he will take out a mirror? The meaning is self-evident, and people can't help but laugh.

"What do you mean!" The girl in the short skirt was furious, stared at the mirror, and involuntarily took a step back, and her momentum suddenly poured like a balloon pricked by a needle.

With the weakening of the momentum, the whole person shrank in a circle, shrunk his chest and shoulders, and became cowardly and cowardly, like a female ghost hiding in the shadows, suddenly frightened by a ray of sunlight leaking in.

Because in this mirror, she is shown without makeup.
