Golden Age 1990

Chapter 8 The taste of Northeast summer

In the same way, in different places, the meaning is really very different.

I told a man in Northeast China, "Give us two kidneys."

He baked two for you right away.

If you tell a man in northern Myanmar, give us both kidneys.

Then he immediately...

"Bai Feng, what are you thinking about?"

"No, I didn't think of anything."

"You're weird."

"I really don't think about anything."

Indeed, the joke that Bai Feng thought of just now was kind of hellish, but the two pictures of roasted kidneys in front of him are real.

Of course, not only two pieces of kidney, but also mutton skewers and Mala Tang.

Bai Feng didn't drag Zhou Xun to the restaurant, he could tell that the girl was still quite on guard.

This is normal, after all, he is alone in a foreign country, and Bai Feng is a stranger after all.

Therefore, Bai Feng took her to a night market, in an open environment, she was not so guarded.

To be honest, Zhou Xun actually wanted to free his hand all the time, but probably because he was really hungry, so he didn't do it.

Fortunately, we were on the street all the way here, and there were so many people there that this guy couldn't do anything.

It wasn't until she sat on a small stool with a lot of food on the table in front of her that she felt at ease.

Isn’t this Malatang only found in Sichuan?
She carefully picked up a piece of tofu puff inside and put it into her mouth. The soup that got in was squeezed out by her white teeth. The umami taste mixed with the spicy taste rushed straight to her taste buds.

Delicious, really delicious.

"You went to a brewery to audition before, didn't you?"

Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect this guy to know about this, then...

"You, you say! How long have you been following me?"

You are too perverted!

Bai Feng could completely see the anger of the little girl in front of him, but he really just wanted to help.

"The audition didn't work out, did you?"

These words seemed to have touched Mr. Zhou's Ni Lin.

With a snap, the chopsticks slapped on the small table.

"Isn't it okay if I didn't succeed? I didn't succeed, what's hindering you?" But after venting like this, she calmed down again, "How do you know?"

Bai Feng smiled and handed over a mutton skewer, "I guess."

"Guess?" Zhou Xun just hesitated for a moment, then took it and ate it.

"It's really just a guess. I actually went to the brewery that day to ask for help from the supply and marketing department. I knew they were going to advertise. Summer is coming soon, and it will get hotter in the Northeast, so there will definitely be more people drinking beer.

You made a wall calendar before, and later you appeared in the brewery. Of course I guessed that you were going for an audition. "

When Zhou Xun thought about it, it seemed quite reasonable, but there was something wrong, "Then how do you know I didn't succeed?"

Bai Feng smiled again, "If you succeed in the audition, why did you come to this labor market?"

It's really a very simple reasoning. For Bai Feng, it hardly consumes a single bit of his brain cells.

But from Zhou Xun's point of view, the man in front of him is too smart.

That is annoying, but also clever.

However, this skewer is delicious.

The current night market is different from the later one. The later night market gives people a feeling of serious homogeneity.

It seems that no matter how many places you change, everything is the same.

Even the night market itself is branded, and there are so-called online celebrity items, well, this is due to people like Lai Baifeng and the like.

Zhou Xun had no extra thoughts at all, she found it very novel.

It's not that there are no night markets in her hometown, but Shencheng is really a big city, and she has never seen many snacks in the Northeast.

It's like this grilled kidney... She doesn't know much about skewers. When the uncle saw the two of them ordering this thing, he had a weird smile on his face.

I don’t know what it means, but this meat skewer is delicious.

"Why is this so delicious?" The little girl's big eyes seemed to be shining with stars.

Bai Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You haven't eaten before, have you?"

Zhou Xun did not lie, "I have eaten it, but I have never eaten such delicious food."

Bai Feng smiled, "Northeast barbecue, just dropped."

It is still not well-known now, but it will be famous all over the country in the future, and it does not need marketing. It is really delicious.

And, it's really affordable.

I remember that there was another Beijing barbecue survey later, which became a hot topic on the Internet.

A Northeast grilled mutton skewer costing two yuan is the lowest price in the spot check, but it is rarely a skewer that contains sheep DNA. Others cost more than five yuan to have sheep DNA.

In fact, this is a business concept.

Mutton skewers now cost 5 skewers for one yuan, but if you eat too much, you must drink beer and add a cold dish to relieve your boredom.

Let’s say tomatoes mixed with sugar, this plate costs 1 yuan.

Cutting a tomato and adding sugar will cost no more than [-] cents.

If you don’t make money, or make little money, and earn money from others, it’s fine.

"Why are you so dazed again?"

"Oh, nothing."

"By the way, this iron sign is so strange."

Zhou Xun, whose mouth was full of oil, stared at the iron stick and studied it again.

Bai Feng smiled, "You really don't see what this is?"

"What? The front is pointed, but the tail is curved. It's really weird."

Bai Feng said helplessly: "Bicycle spokes."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xun suddenly realized.

"This..." She had a strange feeling that the mutton skewers were no longer tasty.

Bai Feng picked up the kidneys and opened them. While eating, he said, "Have you never heard of high-temperature sterilization? Besides, they must be washed clean. If you don't want to eat them, just keep them for me."

Hearing Zhou Xun, he started to compete again.

"I'm just curious." Quickly picked up one, otherwise Bai Feng might have eaten it all.

Seeing her eating so hard and acting petty, Bai Feng wanted to laugh even more.

One spoke, cut off in the middle, and one end sharpened by a machine, can get two skewers.

There was a bicycle factory in Shencheng, but now it is not profitable. What is interesting is that after it closed down, restaurants, bathhouses, and KTVs were opened on that land, but no matter what they opened, no matter how big the brand was, the result was the same.

It closed down soon after.

Some people say that the place is evil, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Don't worry that these spokes were removed from the bicycle. They were probably produced too much and couldn't be sold at all, so they were treated as scrap.

After thinking about it, Bai Feng hurriedly started eating.

This girl looks very pretty, and her little mouth is eager to eat.

But to be honest, this kind of meat skewers with iron sticks has a special taste.

Rust smell.

This taste is not strong, but it can be mixed with the aroma of meat, charcoal fire and seasoning, which is really unforgettable.

Later, I really couldn’t eat it, probably because this kind of stick did not meet the hygiene regulations.

But Bai Feng has always missed this taste.

I can't help but think of a passage Lueqin said: Winter in Northeast China has a taste. I may not be able to describe it in detail, but there must be many people who understand it.

Bai Feng wanted to say: Summer in Northeast China also has a flavor, and this grilled skewer with the smell of iron is just like this city, with an industrial smell of human fireworks.

Mutton skewers cost four yuan, kidneys cost two yuan, tomatoes mixed with sugar cost one yuan, and a large portion of Malatang cost three yuan. Malatang gave two large flower rolls.

Malatang is old-fashioned, well, it can’t be said to be old-fashioned now, but it is purely vegetarian and even a piece of meat is not considered authentic. In this era, there was no such greasy and greasy spicy hotpot as became popular on the internet.

Therefore, this meal costs ten yuan and focuses on a combination of meat and vegetables and a healthy diet.

Bai Feng eats well, and Zhou Xun has a round belly.

It's just that after eating, the girl regretted it a little.

Wouldn't it be too ugly to eat just now?Will he laugh at me?
Bai Feng didn't show much, he was just curious.

"Aren't you going to talk about the audition?"

Zhou Xun was a little strange, "Didn't you guess it all, I didn't succeed."

"What do you plan to do after that?"

"This..." Zhou Xun actually wanted to say, I plan to find a job to make money, but Bai Feng also guessed it before.

But Bai Feng went on to say, "Haven't you thought about summarizing the failed auditions?"

"Huh?" Zhou Xun frowned, she actually went to an art school, so in this respect, she is also a professional.

Can you, this guy, still be able to guide me?

Bai Feng actually wanted to talk about this, "I saw you take a picture of the wall calendar before, and it was indeed I who saw you first."

Hearing Zhou Xun, there was a feeling of being wronged, "It was originally!"

You look at me, I look at you, this crappy game, I can see where you started.

However, Bai Feng didn't feel the remorse of the perpetrator at all, and even smiled, "I actually think that your smile at that time is really not suitable for you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xun was stunned.

She had never heard of such a statement, not from her teachers, nor from her photography teachers. She had photographed many calendars, and even movie and magazine covers, all with this smile.

What she didn't expect was what Bai Feng said next.

"Have you ever thought that you will become a movie queen in the future?"

Become a movie queen?

To be honest with Zhou Xun, she really didn't think about it.

I am only 16 this year. Although I entered an art school, this art school is only equivalent to a vocational high school.

How far away is the movie queen? It feels like the earth is as far away as the sun.

I have only made some wall calendars, which have nothing to do with movies and TV series.

Although I have thought about starring in some movies and TV dramas in the future, how can I dare to think about being an actress or something like that?

However, to directly answer that I haven’t thought about it, is that too cowardly?
Moreover, it seems that this guy lost to Bai Feng.

Shouldn't answerable questions be honest?
When Zhou Xun was struggling, Bai Feng seemed to see it.

"You really haven't thought about it, have you?"

These words, like a radical method, reminded Zhou Xun of a famous saying.

A general who doesn't want to be a soldier is not good...

Something seems wrong, but what the hell!

"Who says I haven't thought about it? Of course I have!"

After Zhou Xun said it, she felt very refreshed.

　It started when I was in elementary school. There was a kebab shop selling kebabs at the door. If I had one or two yuan left in my pocket, I would turn it into kebabs.

　　Maybe the meat is not that delicious, but I still remember the slightly rusty taste.

　　In addition, recently, I always eat the Internet celebrity Mala Tang, with a lot of mahjong and sugar added, it is really good if it is greasy, but after eating it, I gain weight, and my stomach is getting bigger and bigger.
