Since Ma Hongwei had been a tour guide for several years in his previous life, he was very familiar with the tourist attractions in the capital.

So when he accompanied these Mi people to visit the Temple of Heaven, these people asked Ma Hongwei to help introduce other places of interest.

Of course, the benefits will not be without it.

After visiting the Temple of Heaven, these Mi people directly gave Ma Hongwei a tip of 20 US dollars.

In 1980, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB was 1.5303 RMB for 1 US dollar.

Of course, this is only the official exchange rate, everyone who knows it.

The official exchange rate made the RMB exchange rate seriously overvalued, which was generally disregarded at the time.

At that time, in addition to the official exchange rate, there were adjustment rates and black market exchange rates.

The foreign exchange price of the adjustment is: 3.08RMB/USD, while the black market exchange rate is higher.

According to the adjustment exchange rate, the 20 US dollars are equivalent to 61 yuan and 6 cents.

What is this concept?

It is equivalent to Ma Hongwei only spending one morning to earn a salary similar to that of a fourth-level cook.

The cook is the lowest of the tenth level and the highest of the first level.

A fifth-level cooker earns 55 yuan a month, while a fourth-level cooker earns 63 yuan and 5 cents a month.

At the black market rate, $20 would be worth more than the salary of a fourth-class cook.

You know, this is just the money Ma Hongwei earned in one morning.

I earn more in one morning than I earn in a month on the job, and I have to say that in the early 80s, it was really full of all kinds of opportunities to make money, and it was far less difficult to earn than the money of later generations.

After all, in those years, even selling melon seeds could earn millions of yuan, and even selling a cold drink could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month.

Anything is possible, so to speak!

Coming out of the Temple of Heaven, Ma Hongwei was temporarily separated from a few foreigners.

This is the first time that the two sides have been in contact, and the other party did not let him take him to eat local food.

Ma Hongwei found a random state-run restaurant nearby.

This state-run restaurant is not large, and the facilities inside are very simple, the tables are square, the stools are long wooden benches, and even inferior to some fly restaurants in later generations.

This kind of small restaurant is specially for ordinary people to eat, there are no stir-fried dishes in it, and some are Chinese fast food.

Ma Hongwei looked at the sign hanging on the wall, which only had six kinds of fried rice, fried cakes, fried noodles, fried sauce noodles, boiled pot noodles and hot soup noodles.

He said to the waiter, "Comrade, bring me a fried mein!" ”

The waiter said: "A fried noodle is 2 cents and 6 cents, plus half a catty of food stamps." ”

For future generations, this must have been cheap to death, but at the time it was not cheap.

Because of this money, it is enough to buy a pound and a half of rice or half a pound of eggs.

Ma Hongwei took out the money and food stamps and handed them to the other party, then took a small receipt, and sat down next to the kitchen window.

It didn't take long for someone at the window to shout, "Chow mein is ready." ”

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Ma Hongwei ran to the window, handed over the receipt, and then picked up a bowl of fried noodles and returned to the table.

That's why he sat next to the kitchen window and was able to eat in the first place.

You know, this is 80 years, not the afterlife.

At that time, the restaurants were all state-run, and the service was generally poor.

Anyway, whether the restaurant makes money or not does not prevent them from paying their salaries.

And in the early 80s, there was no such thing as bonuses, and the more and less were all those salaries, and they were not afraid of being deducted bonuses, full attendance or something.

Because of this, the waiters are very temperamental, and they are more temperamental than the customers you go to eat.

Many restaurants even have to hang signs that say "no beating and scolding customers for no reason".

(This sign was the first to be hung up in the capital.) ）

Because it provokes people, it will really hit people.

And the reason why this is so is because they are serving iron rice bowls and are not afraid of leaders at all.

"Suck ~ Suck ~ "

Ma Hongwei quickly finished eating a large bowl of fried noodles, although the taste was average, but the portion was very large.

When he was done, he put his rice bowl back in the window and left.

Some restaurant waiters have even become "commanders", customers can serve their own food, and they have to wash their own dishes and chopsticks after eating, while those waiters are on the side to command.

Ma Hongwei had eaten and walked around the gate of the Temple of Heaven Park for a while, and those Mi people came over.

Then, under the leadership of Ma Hongwei, they continued to visit the capital.

Since several foreigners had already been to the Forbidden City, Ma Hongwei took them to visit the Summer Palace in the afternoon.

As the residence of Cixi, the real ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, the scenery of the Summer Palace naturally did not disappoint several foreigners.

Coupled with Ma Hongwei's detailed explanation all the way, these people are a little lingering.

When it was time for the two sides to say goodbye, Ma Hongwei received another twenty dollars in tips.

On this day, Ma Hongwei received a total of 40 US dollars.

According to the adjustment exchange rate, it is 123 yuan and 2 cents.

In just one day, he earned more money than the salary of an eighth-level worker.

Sounds like a lot, and this is also only for the domestic.

Like the Chinese people, the average worker earns several dollars per hour per hour.

(Yang Lao once said that when he first arrived in the United States in 75 years, an hour was $3, and later as an electrician, an hour was more than $6.) ）

Those who are able to travel abroad must have wages far higher than ordinary workers.

And this is still several Mi people, and a mere $40 tip is really not much.

After packing up these foreign exchanges, Ma Hongwei rode back to the Temple of Heaven Park, and his bicycle was still parked nearby.

Ma Hongwei retrieved his bicycle from the parking spot and headed straight for the Workers' Song and Dance Troupe.

When he got there, Guo Lingyu and the others hadn't gotten off work yet.

continued to wait for a while, and finally waited for Guo Lingyu.

Ma Hongwei did not expose himself, but hid in a hidden place and observed silently.

came out with Guo Lingyu, and there were several actors from the song and dance troupe, among whom was a handsome man who was dressed fashionably.

This man Ma Hongwei knew that the other party was the son of the leader of this song and dance troupe, named Jia Wei.

Several people chatted a few words at the door of the song and dance troupe, and then parted.

Ma Hongwei saw that Guo Lingyu and Jia Wei walked a distance of dozens of meters one after the other, and then Guo Lingyu got into each other's car.

Seeing this scene, Ma Hongwei's fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

Before, Guo Lingyu always said that the other party took care of herself, and Madea took care of herself.

But he didn't take it lightly.

As the saying goes, take the thief for the stolen goods, and take the traitor for the double.

Guo Lingyu just rode Jia Wei's bicycle, which doesn't mean much.

If you want to really confirm the adultery between the two, you must catch the adultery in bed.

Otherwise, not only will he not succeed in catching the rape, but he will also startle the snake, and it will be difficult to catch the rape again.

Ma Hongwei followed quietly, he wanted to see if there was a chance to catch the two today.

It's a pity that in the end, Ma Hongwei found that the other party just sent Guo Lingyu home, which made him a little disappointed.

"Looks like we're going to have to fight a long game."

Ma Hongwei thought secretly in his heart.

Then, he waited for the two to say goodbye to each other, and then followed Jia Wei all the way.

Ma Hongwei followed Jia Wei in order to find the address of the other party's home.

It was not like the later generations, where you could open a house casually.

At that time, if you wanted to stay in hotels, guesthouses and guest houses, you had to bring out a letter of introduction.

If it is a man and a woman, then a marriage certificate is also required, otherwise you cannot live in a room.

Someone should ask, why don't you just open two rooms and run and sleep together in the middle of the night?

This can only mean that you don't understand what happened back then.

Two lonely men and widows in the same unit in the capital, who do not live in their own homes at night, but spend a lot of money to open rooms in hotels and guest houses in the capital?

It would be strange if there was no problem here.

Either people won't open your room at all, or people will keep an eye on you at night, as long as you dare to get into a bed at night, people will dare to call the police station to arrest people.

(Some people always say that the police station was established later, but in fact, it was established in 50 years, and you can see the encyclopedia for details.) ）

As for drilling into the woods and fighting the jungle?

At that time, there were many labor teams patrolling the city at night, and if they were caught, they would also be hooligans.

(In the TV series "You Are My Brother", Xiao Hongmei and Ma Xuewu sat and talked on the side of the road in the middle of the road at night because of the divorce, and then they were arrested by the labor correction team.)

If the two hadn't said that they were sisters and brothers, and they really didn't do anything, the other party wouldn't have let them go so easily. ）

Therefore, if the two of them want to do something, they can only go to Jia Wei's house.

Jia Wei's parents, as cadres, can still get him a house alone.
