Chapter 286: Nothing
Li Yunhai saw that those splashes were about to make trouble, so he hurriedly grabbed a vinegar bottle on the table.
At this moment, a chef with a kitchen knife came over there, and I saw that he was five big and three thick, with big shoulders and a round waist, just like Lu Zhishen on TV, if he wasn't wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat, it really made people wonder if he was a butcher from anywhere.
"What? Want to hit someone here? Have you asked me if I have a knife in my hand? The cook roared angrily, and he lifted the knife in his hand, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared at a few green skins.
At the same time, all the diners stood up in unison, all with expressions of courage and courage and about to fight.
No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives.
Those little deflated three obviously also know the benefits and disadvantages of kitchen knives, not to mention that they have committed public anger! The hand that had just been raised was immediately put down, hung his head, and left without saying a word.
Li Yunhai was amazed, thinking that this man of Beijin is really amazing!
The chef waved his hand and said to Li Yunhai with a smile: "Several, please continue." ”
Li Yunhai hugged his fists: "Thank you." ”
The chef turned away.
Shen Xiulan sneered and said, "This Beijin people are quite righteous!" ”
The three of them continued to eat roast duck, and after eating, Shen Xiulan asked, "Where are we going to play?" I heard that there is a subway in Beijin, right? What does the subway look like? Have you ever been there? ”
Lin Zhi smiled and said: "It's strange, Yun Hai and I have obviously been to Beijin a few times, but it seems to be the first time to come, and we haven't experienced anything delicious and fun, but it's you, who is clear about Beijinmen!" ”
Shen Xiulan chuckled: "I've heard about it, hey, Linzhi, what do you say the subway looks like?" ”
Lin Zhi shook his head: "I haven't sat there either, why don't we go and have a long experience?" ”
Li Yunhai didn't have any feelings about taking the subway, but when he saw that they were both interested, he said hello.
Beijin is the first city in China to open a subway, and the first line was officially opened on January 15, 1971. Earlier than Xiangjiang, Seoul, Singapore, San Francisco, Washington and other cities.
Li Yunhai and the three of them came to experience the subway.
They took Line 2, which opened in 1984. From Xizhi Gate, Fucheng Gate, Fuxing Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Heping Gate, Qianmen, Chongwen Gate, Jianguo Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Anding Gate, and finally back to Xizhi Gate.
Shen Xiulan looked at the license plate full of various doors, and couldn't help asking, "Yunhai, why are there so many doors in Beijin?" It's all doors! ”
It's an interesting phenomenon.
In general, the traffic in the city is mainly based on roads, all kinds of roads.
The traffic in Beijin is a variety of gates.
Line 2 has many gates, which is related to the ruins of the inner wall of the city in those years, and the location of Line 2 is basically the location of the inner city wall of the old North Jin. Lao Beijin also has the saying of "Inner Nine Outer Seven Imperial City Four", which means that there are nine gates in the inner city and seven gates in the outer city, and the Forbidden City where the emperor lives is called the palace city, which has four gates, and outside the palace city is the imperial city, which also has four gates. In total, there are dozens of doors.
There are many doors in Beijin because there are many walls in Beijin. Outer city walls, inner city walls, imperial city walls, palace walls, and so on.
The walls are a thing of the past, but the name of the gate is still there. It's on the stop sign of the subway bus, it's in people's lives. It records the vicissitudes that the old Beijin once experienced, it opens a window to understand the history of Beijin, and it leaves valuable place names and cultural heritage.
As soon as Li Yunhai explained this, Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi suddenly realized.
There are quite a lot of foreign tourists who take the subway.
Since the reform and opening up, more and more foreigners have traveled to our country, and groups of foreigners can be seen on the subway.
Li Yunhai and the others experienced the feeling of taking the subway and got off the bus through the front door.
The people of Beijin have always been accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, but people find it difficult to buy something when the shops are closed after the citizens get off work.
In the 80s, businesses in some areas organized to extend their business hours, and they were no longer satisfied with the convenience of the masses to buy things after work, but focused on creating a regional atmosphere for evening shopping and leisure.
The department store is open to 9:30 p.m. in the evenings, to 10:30 p.m. on weekends, and all shops on the street are open to 9:30 p.m. in the evenings, and to 10:30 p.m. on weekends.
Qianmen, Xinhua Gate and other places are the earliest night market streets, Li Yunhai and they walked around, and suddenly found that in the alley in front of them, the lights were brilliant and crowded.
The three of them curiously followed the footsteps of pedestrians and walked into this small alley.
The alleys are full of stalls, all selling all kinds of old goods and antiques.
Li Yunhai understood that this was the so-called Beijin Ghost City.
Because the market is only open at night, it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake things sold, so it is called a ghost market.
The alley was crowded with shoplifters, with people of all kinds of accents.
Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan held hands and followed closely by Li Yunhai's side.
Li Yunhai squatted down in front of a thrift stall and looked at the dazzling array of old things, including all kinds of quotations, copper coins, and snuff bottles.
The three of them picked up various things to look at, Shen Xiulan held a snuffbox and asked Li Yunhai what this was for?
Li Yunhai doesn't know much about this thing, after all, he hasn't played it, but as the name suggests, it is a thing that smokes with his nose, and the pot is used to hold snuff.
The stall owner said that this thing was available in the Ming Dynasty and came from Italy. He showed it to Li Yunhai and them, only to see him take out a snuffbox, put it in his philtrum, inhale through his nose, and the smoke entered his nasal cavity. He also introduced that you can also use a snuff spoon, take out a little cigarette and put it in the valley of your left hand, and then use the thumb of your right hand to crush the cigarette and put it into your nose.
Shen Xiulan was an eye-opener.
The stall owner asked them to give it a try.
Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi both said that they didn't dare to try.
Li Yunhai tried it, good guy, he choked him for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, this is even more fierce than smoking hookah, I can't stand it, I really don't know how people like this thing before?
They looked and got up to leave.
"Yunhai, there are walnuts sold here!" Shen Xiulan said curiously, "Everyone else sells supplies, but this person sells food." ”
Li Yunhai said with a smile: "This is not for eating, but for cultural play, for plates." ”
"Plate walnuts? How to make a handicap? ”
"Take two and put them in the palm of your hand, keep holding, kneading, and rotating, I heard that it can treat constipation and prevent Alzheimer's disease."
"Really? Don't you cease? ”
"The one that needs to be processed is stronger than two stones, isn't it?"
"Makes sense."
Shen Xiulan is like a little girl who has just entered a big city, she is curious about everything she sees, and she has to ask Li Yunhai.
Lin Zhi is not used to these things.
There were more people in front, and it turned out that someone was selling antiques, and the alley was blocked.
Li Yunhai and the three of them stood on the periphery and looked at it, but they couldn't understand whether it was true or false, he was afraid that he would be separated from Lin Zhi, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it to the side, but it turned out to be Shen Xiulan's hand.
Shen Xiulan smiled shyly, with spring waves rippling in her eyes.
Li Yunhai let go embarrassedly, pointed inside, and said, "This is an auction antique!" If we don't know how to do it, let's not join in the fun. ”
Shen Xiulan snorted.
After they walked around, Li Yunhai bought a military telescope, which could see far and clearly, and he also took a fancy to a Tibetan knife, which was beautifully made and had an open blade, which was used to watch at home and prevent thieves, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take it home, so he didn't buy it.
Shen Xiulan bought a few old books, five cents a piece, all of which were foreign literature, and in the 80s, when they were just opened, foreign ones were very popular.
Lin Zhi bought some tapes, a dime a copy, which is more cost-effective than buying a new one.
They returned to the Great Wall Hotel.
Shen Xiulan slept alone in a room, and Lin Zhi sent her back to the room, chatted with her for a few words, and then came to rest.
The next day was the day of the printing exhibition.
Li Yunhai and others came to the exhibition hall early in the morning.
They only had a small inkjet printer booth, which was inconspicuous compared to the large printing machines.
Buyers come from home and abroad, all of them are engaged in the printing industry, which is more targeted than the Canton Fair.
Lin Zhi also feels that this kind of professional exhibition is better than the Canton Fair.
After the successful development of the micro-piezoelectric inkjet printer, it did not become a hit as expected.
However, Li Yunhai was not discouraged.
From the launch of a new product to the market, it always takes a process.
Thermal foaming printers have occupied the entire inkjet printer market, and if micro-piezoelectric wants to seize the market, it first needs to be recognized by users.
And most importantly, you have to wait for the replacement cycle.
Whether it is a company or a unit, or an individual, the family has bought a printer, even if you see a new model come out, you know that the new model is very good, but it may not be replaced immediately, and it is generally replaced when the old model is broken, or you can't afford the high cost of the ink cartridge.
The printer is very difficult to break, especially the thermal foam printer, a change of ink cartridge, together with the print head is replaced, a printer is used for ten or eight years is a common thing.
In this case, the sales volume of Li Yunhai's micro-piezoelectric printers has not been very good.
He produced 100,000 units and sold just over 40,000 units.
This is also the reason why Li Yunhai is eager to participate in various trade fairs.
In this exhibition, Li Yunhai did not bring many people, only Zhuang Yong and two staff members, mainly responsible for handling goods, and in terms of sales, he and Shen and Lin did it together.
To do foreign trade work, the requirements for foreign languages are high, and the requirements for emotional intelligence and IQ are also high.
Ordinary people can't do this job well.
And Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi have both participated in three Canton Fairs, and their foreign language speaking and sales skills have been practiced.
On the first day of the exhibition, there was a surge of people, and there were many people who came to the booth of Sihai Company.
Li Yunhai received customers and recommended products to them.
After a busy day, I didn't receive an order. However, more than 20 printers were retailed, and buyers saw that this printer was easy to use, so they bought one or two and put them back in the company for use.
This small printing exhibition is only five days!
I didn't receive an order for a day, and the three of them were a little anxious.
To participate in such an exhibition, the expenses of all kinds add up, and the cost is not small, and if you can't get an order, you will definitely lose money.
In the evening, they didn't have the heart to go out shopping, and returned to the Great Wall Hotel for dinner.
The fast food that the three of them ate at noon was not full.
Zhuang Yong and the others live in a hotel near the Great Wall Hotel, of course, the grade cannot be compared with Li Yunhai and them, they are not usually used, and they are allowed to move freely.
Li Yunhai and the three of them came to the restaurant of the Great Wall Hotel and chose a seat to sit down.
"Although I didn't receive an order, I still have to eat well. You two just order, I'll pay for it! Li Yunhai smiled and handed the menu to Shen Xiulan.
Shen Xiulan wouldn't be polite to him, and ordered a few signature dishes.
The Great Wall Hotel will have entertainment in the evenings, inviting various singers to sing or hosting celebrity meet-and-greets.
The popular rock music in the 80s originated in the Great Wall Hotel and Jianguo Hotel.
Tonight, there is a rock concert at the Great Wall Hotel.
In May 1986, the Beijin Workers Stadium held a concert called "Let the World Be Full of Love", inviting more than 100 singers. There was a singer named Cui Jian, who sang a song "Nothing" on it, which ignited the frenzy in the hearts of all the audience.
At this time, Cui Jian was not well known.
Tonight, the Great Wall Hotel invited Cui Jian and other singers to sing.
After eating, Li Yunhai discussed with Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan, and bought tickets to watch.
Dozens of dollars a ticket, and many people pay for it.
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came here last time to watch Cheng Lin's performance, so they met Cheng Lin.
It is the first time for Shen Xiulan to enter such a high-end concert venue, which is several grades higher than the music café in Huacheng. The people invited here are all famous singers.
A female newspaper clerk introduced an unheard of name and an unheard of song in her usual concise and high-pitched voice: "Please listen - Cui Jian sings "Nothing". ”
After that, a strange young man walked onto the stage with a guitar in his arms. He was wearing a half-length gown, with one side of his trousers pulled up and one side of his trouser legs, one high and one low, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a social youth who smashed the field.
Before the audience had time to marvel at his streetruffian dress, the youth of society were already singing hoarsely:
"I used to ask endlessly, when are you going to come with me......"
The voice with a sense of vicissitudes of life shouted out of the air, and just one sentence made the atmosphere of the scene boil suddenly.
Li Yunhai also listened to rock music live for the first time, and it felt like a big wood hit on his chest.
The rough music and voice made the blood in his body instantly gather to the top of his head.
When the lyrics of "But you always laugh at me and have nothing" were shouted, the audience at the scene felt a strong emotional impact, applause, whistles, and screams, one after another.
Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi were also shocked by this rock scene!
The lyrics are even more heartfelt.
Li Yunhai couldn't help but think of the encounter before he got rich.
Didn't he have nothing at the time?
When he first graduated, he walked alone on the brightly lit streets of Xizhou like a wandering spirit, and he didn't even have a place to stay, so he could only go to the bathhouse for the night. If it weren't for the hope for the future, he wouldn't have survived that difficult period.
When he has nothing, people dislike dogs, who will follow him?
In this era, how many people like him have nothing?
Don't think that love and marriage in the 80s were cheap, the mother-in-law's requirements for her son-in-law have never been lowered from ancient times to the present.
Li Yunhai has watched a movie called "Happy Events of Troubles", which is about Shanghai in the early 1980s, a pair of young people fell in love freely, but when they got married, they were stumped by "64 legs". The mother-in-law asked the man to have a house and 64 legs of furniture, not even one leg less. In order to make up 64 legs, the male protagonist could only borrow from east to west and spend thousands of dollars. On the day of the wedding, the mother-in-law asked for a car to pick up the relatives, and if there was no car, she would not go out, and the accident caused was ridiculous.
The song "Nothing" can be said to sing the ups and downs of young people.
After the reform and opening up, all new elements are constantly impacting the traditional thinking of the Chinese people. Feeling "nothing" materially and spiritually, everyone is also reborn in this state of distress, repositioning themselves, and anew-pursuing new ideals.
This song is the most accurate reflection of contemporary things, and it resonates more with people than the big, unadulterated, and general cultural kind.
The singer also relied on this song to establish his status as the godfather of my country's rock industry.
Li Yunhai burst into tears when he heard this.
He felt Shen Xiulan's gaze, so he looked at her.
Shen Xiulan obviously also felt the surging and excitement of Li Yunhai's heart.
At the beginning, when Li Yunhai had nothing, Fang Peihua rudely broke up his daughter and his marriage.
And Shen Xiulan did not firmly choose to follow Li Yunhai.
In the end, Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai came together.
Now they don't have nothing, but they have everything.
Shen Xiulan missed the best man in her life because of this.
At this moment, her inner feelings are as profound as Li Yunhai's.
What a painful realization!
The old days, but gone forever!
Lin Zhi's understanding of this song is definitely not as deep as theirs, because she has never experienced a life of nothing since she was a child.
After Cui Jian finished singing, the audience applauded thunderously and unanimously asked to return.
He sang as if he had exhausted all his strength, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
At the request of everyone, he sang another song, a cover of foreign rock music, although it was also very powerful, but it could not resonate with the audience, and everyone asked him to sing it again for nothing.
This was followed by shows by other singers.
They all sang well, but they could no longer impress the audience as if they had nothing.
After watching the concert, Li Yunhai and the three left the venue and returned to the room.
Shen Xiulan came to Li Yunhai's room and discussed the song with them.
All three of them thought it was nice to have nothing.
This song is easy to learn, and after listening to it twice, you can shout a few words.
Lin Zhi smiled: "I'll go take a shower first, and you can talk for a while." ”
They had an ensuite and a shower in the bedroom.
Lin Zhi got up and went in to take a bath.
Shen Xiulan sat beside Li Yunhai with an inexplicable sadness in her eyes.
"Yunhai, I'm sorry." She whispered suddenly.
Li Yunhai was shocked and said, "Xiulan, between us, there is no need to say sorry. What is in the past, let it go with the wind! ”
Shen Xiulan suddenly threw herself into his arms, rested her head on his shoulder, and sobbed softly.
Li Yunhai was taken aback!
He subconsciously looked at the bedroom door.
If this is seen by Lin Zhi, it will be a storm!
Li Yunhai wanted to help Shen Xiulan up, but she held him tightly and didn't move.
"Xiulan! Don't do that. Li Yunhai felt a violent tug in her chest.
Shen Xiulan was suppressing her crying, the more depressed she was, the more uncomfortable she became!
"Yunhai, I actually want to go with you, do you believe me?" Shen Xiulan choked up and said, "Even if you have nothing, I will follow you!" ”
Li Yunhai let out a faint sigh.
This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.
Li Yunhai couldn't say that sentence anymore: "Oh, you just come with me!" ”
Shen Xiulan raised her tear-stained face, resolutely got up, and left quickly.
Li Yunhai looked at her beautiful back melancholy.
He got up and chased her out, watching her enter the room diagonally opposite.
Lin Zhi came out of the shower and said with a smile: "Xiulan has passed? ”
Li Yunhai snorted.
When he went to bed at night, Lin Zhi said: "You said that our printer, why can't we open an order?" With such a good product, don't people in the world know the goods? ”
Li Yunhai hugged her in his arms, stroked her soft back, and said, "Someone buys something not because it's good." Just like a person, just because you are a good person does not mean that others will appreciate you. ”
"Hey, it's very philosophical!" Lin Zhi kissed him and said with a smile, "Just like you, so good, but Shen Xiulan doesn't know how to appreciate you." As a result, I picked up a big bargain! Hee-hee, isn't it? ”
"Uh-"
"When I listened to the song today, I saw that Xiulan was about to cry. She must have been particularly touched by the fact that she didn't go with you when you had nothing! ”
These words were like a needle that pierced the tip of Li Yunhai's heart.
It turns out that Nyingchi understands!
Also, who is three points more stupid than whom?
"Sleep! I have to exhibit tomorrow. ”
"Be sure to bill tomorrow! I'm going to sell 10,000 printers! ”
"Let it be!"
The next morning, after Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi got up, they didn't see Shen Xiulan coming.
Lin Zhi went to knock on Shen Xiulan's door, and knocked for a long time before seeing the door open.
Shen Xiulan stood at the door with a sick face, holding her face with her hands, and said, "Lin Zhi, I'm not feeling well, I'll take a day off." ”
Lin Zhi sighed and asked, "Is there a cold or what's wrong?" I'll let Yunhai take you to the hospital, right? I'll just go to the booth alone. ”
Shen Xiulan's voice was hoarse, and she said, "It's okay, I'll just take a rest." I'm sorry, I'm going to have to work hard for you two. ”
Lin Zhi said it's okay, then you can rest well, if you can't hold on, you must see a doctor.
Shen Xiulan snorted and closed the door.
After she returned to her room yesterday, she didn't know how long she had been crying, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't dare to see anyone.
Lin Zhi told Li Yunhai about it.
Li Yunhai probably guessed what was going on, and it was not good to appease Shen Xiulan in front of Lin Zhi, so he just said indifferently that I know.
They went downstairs for breakfast.
Lin Zhi ordered one more and said to Li Yunhai: "You send it to Xiulan, she will definitely not come down to eat." ”
Li Yunhai hesitated: "Why don't you send it?" ”
Lin Zhi pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't want to run errands." ”
Li Yunhai packed breakfast and sent it upstairs.
Lin Zhi looked at his back, pursed his lips slightly, and his clear eyes flashed with wisdom, not knowing what he was thinking. (End of chapter)
