The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 221 To Spring City

Wang Shaodong and Wang Meina came to the old Jinjia mutton soup restaurant in Luzhong City at 04:30 in the afternoon, planning to have dinner in this mutton soup restaurant with ethnic characteristics with a history of more than 100 years.

This is a mutton soup shop opened by Hui people. The ingredients are very particular and clean, and it enjoys a good reputation in Qilu Province.It is said that the owner of this store is worth over [-] million yuan.

The restaurant is on Changshao Road. Because it is not a meal time, there are not many people eating inside, and there is already a long queue outside the takeaway window.

The mutton soup is delicious, but some people can't smell the smell.The smell of sheep is very special. Some people think it is good, but some people find it unbearable.

In order to suppress the smell of mutton soup, some coriander is usually put in the mutton soup, but the problem comes again, some people don't like to eat coriander.So, there is a bit of a dilemma in the mutton soup shop. What should I do? Chopped coriander and put it in a bowl.The seasoning is also on the side. If you like pepper, put some pepper, and if you like salt, put more. In addition, pepper powder, chili powder, cumin powder, monosodium glutamate, etc. are all placed in a seasoning box. Who likes to put it in their own bowl? pour in.

This is the usual way of eating in a large bowl of mutton soup for breakfast, but this way of eating is not suitable in Jinjia mutton soup. The mutton soup in Jinjia mutton soup is seasoned by the master himself. I can't understand it.I have to say that the taste of Jinjia mutton soup is still very good.

Among the top ten mutton soups in Qilu Province, Jinjia mutton soup in Luzhong ranks fifth, which is pretty good.Of course, No.1 must be Shanxian sheep soup.

After dinner, before 06:30, Wang Shaodong simply drove onto the expressway, intending to go to Quancheng tonight.

Quancheng has lived in the place where he has lived for more than ten years. In fact, Wang Shaodong is more familiar with Quancheng than he is with Luzhong.

Luquan Expressway was opened at the end of 2002, which greatly shortened the time from Luzhong City to Quancheng.Some people say that Luzhong City is actually the back garden of Quancheng City, which actually makes sense.

Luzhong was originally a county-level city, but it was a provincial-level county, which was temporarily managed by Taishan City. Later, it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city in the early 90s. When it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, the surrounding counties Some villages and towns are coming from the city.There are only two counties in Luzhong City, Laicheng County and Gangcheng County.Among them, the straight-line distance from Laicheng County to Quancheng is only two hundred miles away.

Get out of Luzhong City, then walk along Fenghuang East Street, get on the expressway, then turn to the north and slightly westward, and you will arrive at Quancheng in less than two hours.

This is only about [-] kilometers of high-speed section, which is part of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. The construction standards are still very high, and at that time, not to mention the high-speed road, there were very few cars on ordinary roads.When you get to the high speed, you can step on the accelerator as much as you want.

It was really cool to drive before 2006. Later, when there were more and more private cars, driving on the expressway was purely a traffic jam. Especially during holidays, the expressway is free. It’s better to take the provincial road instead fast.

After getting on the highway, Wang Shaodong turned on the rock music on the CD, and the two of them got excited along the way.

"Brother, what song are you playing in this thing? Why is it so emotional?"

Wang Meina shouted loudly.

"Rock! How about it?"

"Great, I feel like I'm going to explode!"

"Hahahaha, girl, your description is great, I want to give you a thumbs up!"

The conversation between two people is actually shouting.Not only was the surging music playing in the car, Wang Shaodong's car also started to roar.

Audi cars are designed with a top speed of just over 100 per hour, of course it can’t compare to those supercars that can go up to 200 or [-] per hour, but Wang Shaodong, who used to drive up to more than [-] at most, is now driving at more than [-] per hour. My heart almost jumped into my throat.

While driving, Wang Shaodong suddenly remembered one thing, that is, many car accidents were accompanied by listening to music, especially fast-paced music.Psychologists say that people's emotions are easily affected by music, and fast-paced music often makes people drive faster.

"No, it's too fast, I'm going to be dazzled, I think it's better to play some songs by Teresa Teng."

Then, "Small Town Story" began to play in the car stereo.

"Oh, actually, girl, it's good to be a little crazy sometimes."

Wang Meina nodded and closed her eyes while listening to the story of Xiaocheng.

When the car drove to Xueye Lake, the sky began to darken, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

Xueye Lake later invested more than a billion yuan to create a large-scale tourist destination, and then applied for the World Aviation Competition.This World Air Competition has also raised a lot of popularity in Luzhong City.

The popularity of Luzhong City is really too small. Sometimes in other places, people who say that they are from Luzhong City don't know, it's better to say that others in Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant know a lot.

"Brother, where are we staying tonight?"

"Let's stay in the Internet cafe tonight."

"Oh."

In the previous life, when I was my age, I was just in my sophomore year, and that was the age when I was serious about playing games.

The courses in the university are so easy, you can't take forty classes a week, and Wang Shaodong is not in a relationship. If you don't play games, you don't know how this university survives...

In my previous life, I used to surf the Internet all night, but of course I can do it now.

Moreover, in the Happy Time Internet Cafe next to Qilu Normal University, there is a private room, 50 yuan a night, with two computers and two single beds, which is cheaper than staying in a hotel.

Moreover, if you are hungry in the Internet cafe, it is convenient to go to the bar to find the network administrator and buy instant noodles and ham sausage.

Wang Meina snorted, then closed her eyes and listened to the song quietly.

When the rock music was played just now, Wang Meina was in high spirits, but now that the soothing music is playing, Wang Meina is very quiet again. She is really an interesting girl.

After passing Xueye Lake, we arrived at the territory of Taishan City.

Taishan City is named after Mount Tai. However, most people outside Qilu Province know about Mount Tai, but they don't know that there is such a prefecture-level city as Mount Tai.

At that time, Luzhong City was under the management of Taishan City. Later, when Luzhong City was classified as a prefecture-level city, the personnel transfer was relatively large. Many people who were originally from Luzhong City were transferred to work in Taishan City.Then some factories even moved directly to Taishan City.

On a hill about ten miles east of Wangshaodong Township, there is an arsenal called Xinhua Factory by the locals.

However, many of the employees in the Xinhua factory are locals in Gangcheng County, and because their families are here, it would be very inconvenient to relocate to Taishan City, and then the factory issued a policy. A one-time resettlement fee of 5 yuan is considered laid-off.

Wang Shaodong's uncle's neighbor was an employee of the Xinhua factory, so he was laid off just like that.

5 yuan was a lot of money at the time, but it didn't take long for the 5 yuan to be more than half a year's salary for those who continued to work in the factory.

However, at that time, laid-off was a very fashionable word.

On the evening of the Spring Festival, Song Dandan pointed to his front teeth and said, "The two front teeth are also honorably laid off."

Of course, every time there is a major change, there will be lucky people. Some people start business with 5 yuan. At that time, it was very profitable to do business with such a large capital.

Around 1992, there was a lot of construction in Luzhong City, but there was almost no local timber output in Luzhong City, and the demand for timber in Luzhong City was huge.

Wang Shaodong heard people say that at that time, a boss named Yang in Laicheng County took 5 yuan to Manzhouli, the border between my country and Russia, and started selling wood to Luzhong City.At that time, the retail prices of wood in the local market in Luzhong City, such as sylvestris pine, fish scale pine, red pine and larch, etc., were mostly around 200 yuan a side, and the cost of importing foreign wood from Manzhouli It's only five or sixty yuan a side, and the profit can reach 60%.

However, the sage once said that when the profit reaches a certain amount, people will go crazy and even die.There are a lot of timber sellers in Manchuria, and some of them followed Lao Maozi to Russia and never came back.

The 90s was the era of Erdao dealers. If you bought a 100 yuan fur coat from the capital, you would have to sell it for at least [-] yuan after arriving in Moscow. After that, many people put on their clothes desperately, and they couldn’t even wear them, and then they took them abroad. Make foreign money.It is said that a train from the capital to Moscow can earn [-] to [-] yuan for a round trip.

Of course, there are a lot of good people. There was a guy who ran to Russia with his bare hands, and then told people that he had a lot of cans in his hand, and asked if he could change a few planes for fun?At that time, Russia had just disintegrated, and the whole society was still in a state of instability, and supplies were scarce, especially in terms of food.

The canned food of the great man impressed the Russians, and the contract was signed, and then the good man ran back with the contract and contacted many canneries.I have a contract signed with the gringo in my hand, so of course the cannery dares to sign a contract with the bull.

Then, just like that, with his bare hands, he exchanged fifty carloads of canned food for the plane, and made hundreds of millions at once.

There are only a few talented people, and most of the laid-off people are ordinary people, relying on the big tree of the unit, they can make a living, but once they leave the unit, many people are like little ones thrown under the sun. Fish, after a few struggles, it becomes a salted fish.

Wang Shaodong's parents are both farmers, so he doesn't have a deep understanding of the concept of urban laid-off workers. He only knows that it is a specific historical event that happened in a specific historical period.As for who is right and who is wrong, I don't know.

When Wang Shaodong and Wang Meina got off the highway, it was already dark.It's autumn now, and the sun goes down much earlier than before.

In 2003, Quancheng was actually not much different from a large village.

The overall planning of Quancheng is problematic, especially the city's drainage system is not reasonable at all.The entire spring city is in a depression. When there is heavy rainfall, many places will be flooded. If the underground drainage system is not done well, the water may cause serious casualties.

On July 2007, 7, there was a torrential rainstorm in Quancheng, and the rapidly formed flood peak wandered around the urban area, resulting in the death of dozens of people.The entire underground shopping mall was filled with water, and all the products inside were washed into a mess.

Moreover, in 2003, the renovation of the shantytowns in the urban area of ​​Quancheng was far from complete. Even in 2017, around the Quancheng Provincial Hospital, old rural houses with a long history can still be seen.They have a certificate, so if you are not allowed to dismantle it, you really have nothing to do.

After the process, Wang Shaodong drove directly to Qilu Normal University, and then parked the car on the road between the No. [-] dormitory building and the music building.Wang Shaodong remembers that when he was in college, there were always many vehicles parked in this place.

In 2003, most people did not have the concept of private cars, and the country’s large-scale promotion of private cars only started after 2006.Therefore, in 2003, the parking of vehicles was still very casual.It is said that vehicles cannot be parked casually in the campus, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually.

The strict management of vehicles on campus started with the second-generation official who shouted "My father is Li Gang".And that incident happened in 2010, that is to say, before 2010, no matter who's vehicle, anyone can enter the campus, otherwise there would be no incident of killing people.

After parking the car, looking at the excited Wang Meina, Wang Shaodong smiled and said, "I'll treat you to Mala Tang later."

With that said, Wang Shaodong took out his mobile phone and called Ma Lili's dormitory.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Wang Shaodong asked, "I'm looking for Ma Lili, is Ma Lili here?"

"Ma Lili and... Oh, by the way, who are you, Ma Lili?" It wasn't Ma Lili who answered the phone.

"I'm Ma Lili's classmate."

"Ma Lili has gone out, I don't know if she will come back tonight."

Wang Shaodong frowned in disappointment, and asked, "Do you know what she's doing? I'm her high school classmate, I came all the way from Luzhong, and I plan to have dinner with her tonight. "

"Have you dated her?" the other party asked.

"No, we also suddenly thought of coming, and only after we came did we think of asking her to come out with us."

"Then, we can't contact her, otherwise, if he comes back tonight, I'll let her call you."

"That's the only way to go."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Meina asked Wang Shaodong with a smile, "Brother, do you like Sister Lili?"

Although Wang Meina has never met Ma Lili, she has seen her photos and knows that Ma Lili is a very beautiful girl, and she is also a college student.

Wang Shaodong shook his head in some ambiguity, then said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go eat Malatang."
