National Tide 1980.

Chapter 5 Early

Jianguo Road is the terminus of the eastbound Dayi Road, and a short walk ahead is the station of No. 304 Road.

When Ning Weimin got off the bus here, the sky was already bright.

There are already quite a lot of people and cars on the street, making the road very lively.

At this time, Ning Weimin was most moved.

In addition to the temperature began to warm up, I heard the crisp and pleasant ringing of bicycle bells in my ears.

That is, the aroma of fried oil cakes and soy milk wafted in the air, and kept digging into people's noses.

The breakfast shop not far from the station has already opened, and many people living nearby are carrying steel pots to buy breakfast.

At this time, there is no packaging box, so bring this kind of pot, make soy milk in the pot, and turn the lid of the pot to hold the oil cake.

It's still warm and convenient when you get it home to eat.

And this kind of breakfast shop is also the most typical convenience restaurant on the streets of Beijing in this era.

The advantage is that it is cheap and high-quality, especially affordable, but the disadvantage is that the operating varieties are relatively monotonous.

The breakfast sold in the morning is quite rich.

There are at least oil cakes, pretzel, sesame sauce biscuits, candy ears and soy milk, and cornmeal porridge to choose from.

Noon and afternoon it's that simple.

It also sells fried forks, croquettes and biscuits, and fire-fired ones.

But it has to be said that further east, apart from the factory, it is farmland.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the importance of this early shop as "after this village, there will be no such shop".

Especially from the relatively special nature of Ning Weimin's work.

Not only must he ensure sufficient physical strength, but even until the end of work in the afternoon, he will no longer have any chance and appetite to eat and drink.

Then you can't miss this place, you must eat and drink here first.

Therefore, his way of eating is quite special, and he usually chooses the most luxurious package combination.

That is, what Mr. Kang taught him, the special way of eating that the older generation and children in Beijing love - burning oil cakes on fire!

Some people may think it is strange to eat two kinds of pasta together.

Do you think it's delicious?This is no longer the big cake roll steamed bun mentioned in the cross talk, is it stupid?

In fact, people who think so are very rare.

Not to mention elsewhere, at least Huhai also has a similar way of eating, that is, flatbread with fried dough sticks.

Think about it, North and South have different tastes.

However, people in these two first-tier cities have similar ways of eating in this regard. They can't have problems with their brain circuits, right?

Eat like this, naturally there is a reason to eat like this.

What's the point?

Hi, oil cakes are satisfying, when the fire is on top.

Putting two kinds of food together is really the most enjoyable and most economical way to eat food stamps.

This fire costs five cents for two taels of food stamps, and seven cents for one tael of oil cakes.

The real cost of such a set is only three taels of food stamps, or [-] cents.

If you really want to eat, you don't have to go into details when you buy it, just say "come a set" directly, and those who sell it early will understand.

This is also an era feature.

As for the specific way of eating, it is quite similar to the hamburgers of foreign fast food.

It is to break apart the hot oil that has just come out of the oven, and then sandwich the hot oil cake that has just come out of the pot in the middle.

There is no doubt about whether it tastes good or not.

You know, fire is originally crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

As soon as the golden butter cake is sandwiched, the texture sublimates to crisp-tender-crisp.

The fire absorbs part of the oil from the oil cake, which not only makes the food no longer greasy, but also adds the aroma of the oil cake to the salt and pepper flavor of the fire, and the taste is amazing.

In the end, it is best to add some pickles to the pancake, and then a bowl of warm soy milk with sugar added to match it, that is called "get".

For Ning Weimin, he fell in love with this way of eating at the first taste.

He also prefers to describe his experience in a more literary and lyrical way.

That is--

"The exterior is strong, but the inner softness is hot with salt and pepper, and he hugs the pancake that has been fried in purgatory with his freshly baked body, and uses his soft inner heart to absorb the excess oiliness of the pancake."

"As for the oil cakes, on the surface, they resist Huo Huo's embrace, but in fact they are burning with desire. I wish every part of my body could rely on Huo Huo tightly."

"The oil cakes try not to affect the simple nature of the fire, but in the end they complement each other and blend into a whole that you have me and I have you."

"The combination of an innocent girl and a prodigal son like this really makes people realize the supreme mentality of idol dramas in just a short breakfast.

Of course, in addition to the way of eating ordinary oil cakes on fire, there is also the method of eating oil cakes with sugar on fire, and the taste is also extremely good.

Eat it hot, it's crispy and crunchy.

Eat it cold, it is glutinous and sweet.

Therefore, Ning Weimin now usually comes with a "set" of sweet or salty in the morning, plus a bowl of "syrup".

This is enough to ensure that for a long time, his stomach will not be hungry.

…………

It was about [-]:[-] in the morning, Ning Weimin completed the last kilometer on foot, and finally arrived at the eastern suburbs garbage dump.

This is the area between the future East Third Ring Road and East Fourth Ring Road, a desolate open area of ​​several thousand square meters.

Looking around, there are not many low-rise houses nearby, only farmland and ravines.

In the garbage dump, in addition to the continuous garbage piles like hills, there are dozens of jagged trees interspersed among them.

Due to the limited conditions of the year, the awareness of environmental protection was lacking.

The garbage dumps in Beijing are all open-air.

There is no modern incineration and landfill method, and there is no anti-seepage and anti-overflow measures.

Only this simple mixed stacking method is used.

The garbage is heated and fermented with the help of solar thermal energy, in order to achieve the purpose of sterilization, killing insect eggs and so on.

So far away from here, a stench can blow on your face, and even the nearby villagers do not intend to approach here.

But on the other hand, it is also because you can often see big trucks dumping garbage here, not only during the day, but also at night.

And those cars are almost all from nearby factories, and the resources available for mining here are particularly rich.

Regardless of the state's regulations, the scrap metal in production must be transported to the material recycling station stipulated by the state.

But the factory is not your own, how can the workers be so conscientious and meticulous in implementing the rules and regulations?

Therefore, there are often some copper, iron, lead and aluminum, which are mixed with the daily garbage of the workshop and dumped here because of the "carelessness" of the workers.

This makes the Dongjiao garbage dump the brightest pearl among all the garbage dumps in Beijing, and an undisputed "rich mine".

And such a "mine" brought Ning Weimin a mix of joy and pain.

On the one hand, he is thankful that he has found a place where he can really make a fortune.

On the other hand, such wealth is not so easy to make.

If nothing else, the stench here is several levels higher than the trash cans in the city.

It can make people so sick that they can't eat, and he can't adapt to it until now.

Therefore, even when he arrived at the "mine", he could not rush directly to work hard, and he had to make a series of preparations before he could take up his post.

Because from the perspective of endangering health and possibly infectious diseases, he is also engaged in a dangerous type of work.

Ning Wei went down to a chest-deep ditch next to the garbage dump.

In the ditch, he first took out a mask and swimming goggles from his clothes and put them on.

Then he opened the canvas travel bag that he brought.

In turn, he took out a set of dirty clothes, a torn straw hat, and a pair of dirty five-eye cotton shoes.

After he put the suit on, put on his shoes, and put the straw hat on his head.

He took out another two-tooth iron hook from the bag and held it in his hand.

At the end, he put on a sack on his back, carried a large bag, and walked out of the ditch again.

He has completely turned into a very professional "tattered professional".

In this dress, careful preparation for hygiene is one aspect.

The key is that as long as he doesn't speak, even if any acquaintance stands in front of him, he will not recognize him as Ning Weimin.
