Chapter 338 Once glorious

The tape recorder was bought by Zhang Xinglong with his first month's salary, and it cost more than 500 in Universal Mall. It is the kind of style that can be taken off and placed far away with two speakers.

It was only after I had a tape recorder that I realized that the bulk is the tape, and the tape recorder is just a few hundred dollars, and there is no end to the tape.Now a bootleg tape of Andy Lau costs 27 yuan.

The 90s was the era of real profiteering.

……

In the summer of 92, Zhao Shuang's restaurant could not continue to open.

The reason is simple. The restaurant business is booming, and people don't want to rent it anymore.Or raise rents.

The manager of the unit to which the hotel belongs is Mao Lan's father-in-law, Liu Baoshan, who is also a celebrity in the Zhao family, rich and powerful.

Although Zhao Shuang's mother was unhappy, she had nothing to do, and she didn't want to give in to others for nothing, so she closed the restaurant, and rented a house on the street of 36 households through her personal relationship.

The house is in 36 households, just beside the small train track, on the north side of the road, after passing the railway line, there is a small slope.

At this moment, all the new buildings on the Daobei side of 36 households have been built, and there are a lot of people, and the open-pit mine office is just across the road.

There is also a non-staple food store here, which has been privately contracted, and the contractor is Sun Xuliang's father.

On both sides of the big crossroads, a lot of small facades have been repaired by private individuals, most of them are small shops, and there is nothing else to do at the moment.

There are also many restaurants. There are two houses side by side on the street, two on the residential buildings behind, three on the opposite side of the railway, and a deep-fried dough stick shop and a barbecue shop.

There are nine canteens.

There are five houses in this row built on the street, and Zhao Shuang's mother rented three of them.

This place used to be a restaurant, which was opened by the street itself, and it was rented out because the business was not good.The kitchen and warehouse are at the back of the house. Seven tables can be placed at the same time, and there are two private rooms.

There is a back door in the kitchen, and you can go down to the dam behind. The drop between the front and the back is a bit high, and you have to go down seven or eight steps from the kitchen.

Behind it is a residential building, and there is a billiards room at the top of the building. The owner is Zhang Xinglong's junior high school classmate, but he is in Class [-].

Wang Yugang's family also lives here.

After the restaurant moved here and opened, the business has been better than when it was in the Zhao family below. It is close to the factory office, just a few steps away, so it is not too convenient. coming.

The owner of the nearby restaurant, surnamed Song, came from Zhao Shuang’s mother’s unit. He is a chef. It stands to reason that his side is closer to the road, and people have to pass by the door of his restaurant. Business should be good.

But I don't know why, Zhao Shuang's family has a daily turnover of 500 yuan, while his side is [-] yuan, which is very stable.

However, the closeness of the two families also brought benefits to his family. When there was no room to sit here at noon, there would always be people who didn't want to wait, so they ate at his house by the way.

……

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather during the day is the hottest time of the year, but it is quite cold in the morning and evening, and you will tremble if you go out in the middle of the night without wearing some thick clothes.

"Mom, I want to get a driver's license, okay?"

Zhang Xinglong discussed with Liu Guixin.

"Ticket test? It's okay. Driving a car in the future is very good. Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"Zhao Shuang's brother went to study, and now he has privately let him learn, so there is no need to ask for help."

"How much is it? Did you ask?"

"It's more than 6000, less than [-]. Tuition fees, whatever the middle, you have to spend something else."

"What else?"

"You can't use a car to eat when going back and forth in the city? I heard that you have to hire a coach or something. How many packs of cigarettes do you have to buy?"

"That's right. What if you go to this class?"

"It's okay over there, just talk to Liu Sanzi, whoever has nothing to do."

"Wait until I discuss it with your dad. It's very good. Isn't Zhao Shuang's family related? Ask me if I can give you some activities to drive when I get back from the exam."

"Okay, I'll ask before I go up tomorrow. It should be fine. His family has a good relationship with the small car class above. Those people eat at her house every day."

"Then if you want to learn this, why don't you find a car to practice first? Anyway, there are plenty of open-air cars, and I think driving is quite simple. It's just such a lever to pull back and forth, and then step on the accelerator. Isn't it?"

"I don't know either, and I don't know how to drive." The two girls laughed together.

Liu Guixin's words reminded Zhang Xinglong.That's right, why didn't I think of it, there are so many big cars and small cars, and the relationship is pretty good, so I can just find a car and practice on my own.

After work the next day, Zhang Xinglong went to the restaurant excitedly.

There are 36 households in a block on Zhaojiabao, and there is still about one kilometer from Zhaojiabao.The area of ​​the open-air staff residential area is much larger than that of ore dressing, and there are more workers in the mine.

"Auntie, I want to get a driver's license, can I find a car here to practice first?" Zhang Xinglong asked Zhao Shuang's mother during the meal.

"You want to take the exam too? Think about it as soon as you think about it. It would be great to go to class. I'll ask your brother to ask."

"Are you going to take a ticket test?" Zhao Shuang asked in a low voice.

"Well, my mother said that it would be good to drive in the future after taking the test. The mine crushing side is too dangerous, and it's easy to get silicosis."

After talking for two days, things were arranged, not only the car was found, but the coach was also found directly.

On a Sunday, at 06:30 in the morning, Zhang Xinglong followed the 'master' into the mountains with great enthusiasm.

The production of the open-pit mine is all in the mountains, and there are offices, electric power (power), maintenance and vehicle teams and other auxiliary workshops and departments at the foot of the mountain, and all production is on the mountain.

The huge mine occupies a mountain area of ​​about [-] square kilometers, and the wide transportation line winds around the mountain.

Mining started here in 1906. It used to be the world's largest open-pit iron mine. The "ginseng iron" produced is the best pig iron in the world.

Workers working in the mine have only two chances to go up and down the mountain throughout the day. The shift shift time is around 07:30 in the morning, and from 05:30 to [-]:[-] in the evening. All pedestrians and vehicles are prohibited from entering the mining area at other times.

Not only is it forbidden to go outside, but there are also strict regulations on the people and vehicles working inside. They must move within the designated area, and it is strictly forbidden to go out of the circle.

The main reason is that during the working hours, the roads in the mining area are relatively dangerous, and there have been many accidents.

The roads in the mining area are all dirt roads, which are very wide, nearly 40 meters wide.The ore transportation above is by car, which is pulled from the mining point and then transferred to a small train.

The car transporting ore is as high as a three-story building, more than ten meters wide, and the diameter of the tire is close to four meters. One car can carry 170 tons.

This kind of car looks like a giant tank when it runs on the road. Not only does it bring up dust in the sky, but the dead angle is also very large. Ordinary vehicles, whether it is a car or a truck, look like a small bean in front of it. For a moment, you can't see it at all.

There have been many incidents of [-] crushing cars and running over people in the past, so it was later that there was a mandatory regulation of closing the mountain during production time.

Few people dare to violate this rule. Being run over by it is cleaner than cremation. There is nothing left, not flattened, but simply gone.

Even an ordinary heavy-duty truck will only turn into a piece of iron under its wheels, so there is no need to mention it.

Zhang Xinglong followed his master and his son to the top of the mountain in a commuter vehicle from the mining area.

Here is a Liberation 141 convoy.
