National Tide 1980

Since the beginning of autumn, cucumbers and tomatoes in Beijing's non-staple food stores have been sold in piles.

The piles are big, ranging from a dozen to more than a dozen.

If the pile is small, there are seven or eight cucumbers and five or six tomatoes.

When people are shopping for groceries, they can often hear people in grocery stores shouting from far away, "Rub it! Rub it and sell it!"

Or, "There are a lot of cucumbers and persimmons."

For no other reason than because these two popular summer dishes are out of season and are no longer on the table.

So the price will be much cheaper, and it will get cheaper and cheaper.

You can often buy a bunch of them for just a few cents or a dime.

When it comes time to pull out the rice seedlings at the end, you can even buy them in baskets.

Therefore, many old ladies and their grandchildren carry baskets, bamboo baskets, or push bamboo carts, and buy a lot of it, which weighs at least dozens of kilograms.

Then go back and make tomato sauce.

In this way, there will be some fresh vegetables as a refreshment during the long cold winter.

In contrast, the seasonal autumn fruits and snacks on the market have begun to be colorful.

Although the level of logistics and refrigeration in this era is still low.

Most of the fruits that can be marketed in the capital are only produced in the outer suburban counties and local products of Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places.

However, since this is not an era when only economic varieties are planted in large areas, there are many unique local small varieties of fruits.

So it is still a grand exhibition of dazzling fruits.

There may even be more varieties than there were thirty or forty years later.

The earliest fruit to appear in the capital in autumn is the "Tiger Pulled Cart", also known as "Tiger Pulled Bin", which is on the market in late summer and early autumn.

The taste of this fruit is somewhere between apple and sand fruit, much like green banana apple, with a light and crisp taste.

But the fragrance is so strong that if you put a plate at home, the room will be filled with fragrance that will last for a long time, so it is also known as the "smell-smelling fruit".

In the past, it has always been a favorite thing for wealthy people to display.

After the tiger pulls the cart, the green but not yellow pear, the sand fruit as bright as a girl's cheek, the purple and frosty betel seeds, the oblate and round white pears with yellow teeth, and the purple and yellow plums are gradually on the market.

In addition, there are also ripe crab apples, flat peaches, and peaches.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the startling sound of "Grapes, come! Crispy dates!" came the "Shanli Red" known by the people in the capital and "Hongguo" commonly known by the people of Jinmen.

Next is the second crop of old corn, new taro, and raw sweet potatoes in the fields in early autumn...

So during this period of time, not only were the streets full of people in the capital, but they were also shouting everywhere.

Even every household is very busy making tomato sauce.

Because making tomato sauce is not an easy task after all.

First, I have to ask people everywhere to get some glass bottles of glucose from the hospital.

Then the whole family will work together to clean the inside and outside of the bottle, cut the tomatoes they bought into strips, stuff them into glass bottles, and then put them in a steamer to steam.

After steaming, do not cover the lid, but seal it with a rubber stopper.

If possible, it is best to find a needle to drain the gas out of the bottle, so that the purpose of vacuum preservation can be achieved.

In short, this kind of folk life scene can only be described as lively!

Similarly, Ning Weimin's state has become more and more lively during this period.

Because as the leader in organizing sculpture art exhibitions, I often have to hold meetings and discussions with people from the Artists Association, members of the organizing committee, and leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park.

He had to hire a taxi for himself again, and once again lived a non-stop life without home for a long time.

But unfortunately, what occupied most of Ning Weimin's energy were the social events that required socializing.

In fact, the progress of the work is actually quite slow, and it is the most urgent matter that needs to be solved.

For example, he didn't come up with a good solution for the sales staff bonus system or the hiring of people in the cigarette shop.

So he has long been tired of the feeling of being at the forefront of the limelight and being worth soaring.

In this superficial false prosperity, the happiness felt is getting less and less, while the anxiety and impatience are increasing day by day.

Just like this day on September 24, even if Ning Weimin took a break from his busy schedule and no longer had to run out, he could have a good rest for the day.

But lying on the bed in the guest room of Chongwenmen Hotel, he had to keep talking on the phone.

Those were all polite responses to people who had called him.

Some people called Zhai Gong, and some people called the company.

When he was away, someone was recording it for him.

Unfortunately, the phone call is probably of no practical significance.

Because Vanity Fair is so hypocritical, everyone is acting like an actor on a stage.

The information feedback Ning Weimin received was almost all carved from the same mold.

Almost all the people who came to him were unwilling to express their intentions directly and simply said that they wanted to invite him to find a place to "sit" together.

And this sentence "sit and sit" contains extremely rich content.

Even old friends from the modeling team will do this.

For example, Gong Haibin, who had already held a model training class outside, also followed Ning Weimin in the same way.

"Wei Min, hey, I've been waiting for your call. Are you free recently? Why don't we come out and get together? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's come out and have a good sit..."

"No, no, no, no, are we still doing this? If you have something to say, just say it. To be honest, nowadays, a lot of people want to sit with me every day because of sculpture art exhibitions. When I hear this, my forehead feels numb. It hurts. You are not entrusted by someone, are you..."

Miya Haibin was happy on the phone.

"Don't get me wrong. It doesn't matter what I'm telling you. It's easy for you to come to you for other things. It just so happens that I've been making money recently. How about we have a meal together? You pick the place... …”

Follow the official account: , follow and you will get cash and coins!

That's right, this kid has become ambitious since he stepped on the catwalk, and he is no longer willing to live a law-abiding life.

So he and two other male models, Geng Ping and Wu Guoqing, worked together and resigned without hesitation.

Recently, I have just faced social recruitment and started a model training class.

It is said that for the registration fee of 50 cents, at least two to three thousand people came and pushed me and broke the iron door of the office.

Speaking of which, they can really be regarded as pioneers in the fashion industry on the road of reform.

Although in Ning Weimin's view, Gong Haibin, who had already been the leading actor in a movie, was the least worthy of the three.

He actually had a good job as an actor at Beijing Film Studio, but this was undoubtedly a wrong move.

"Hainbin, your idea doesn't sound bad. But I've been dealing with restaurants recently. You should know that the characteristic of our country is that we always like to discuss business at the dinner table in order to find a good excuse for ourselves to waste public funds. No. To tell you the truth, I have been socializing too much recently. My stomach is extremely uncomfortable, and I just want to drink some hot bean porridge. Why don't you make me a pot of it, and I'll drink it at your house..."

Ning Weimin's idea made Gong Haibin obviously "furious".

"Come on, I can't afford to offend you. You want me to make you some porridge? What are you thinking about? What time is it, how can I make it in time? Besides, you don't know how busy I am right now? Students can't get out of class, so how can I have this time? Since you have degenerated to this level, I won't waste my time and money, and you won't complain anymore. I'll tell you the problem directly. , I want you to get me some clothes. I want them to be very fashionable and awesome women’s clothes. It’s best to give them to me at the cost price..."

Ning Weimin now took charge.

"Right, it would be better to be so straightforward earlier. It's a waste of phone bills. What's wrong? Is this for that fairy? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"What? I'm doing a favor for a friend, for making a movie. Although I resigned and left, at the time when I could only live by eating steamed buns, the factory rescued me from the printing and dyeing factory. People can't forget their roots, right?"

"What movie?"

"Oh, "Sunset Street""

""Sunset Street"?"

"What? You know?"

"Does this movie feature Chi Zhiqiang and Pace?"

"Hey, that's right! What's going on? Do you know anyone at Jingying Film Studio? How did you know?"

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. I will help you with this matter. Isn't it just a few clothes? You go to Jianguo Hotel to see me tomorrow afternoon. By the way, didn't you say they are short of funds? How about you Tell the crew, if they are willing to add a credit unit to our company at the end of the film, I can also provide them with some sponsorship fees."

"That's great. Hey, you surprised me so much. I really should have come to you earlier. Dude, it's not a shame. If you can really show off your face to me, I really have to treat you to a drink. Just have a drink..."

"What are you doing? You still want to help me? I want you to make me some bean porridge. This is what you owe me!"

"You kid... ok, ok, I agree with you. I owe you two meals of red bean porridge and mung bean porridge. You have been waiting for me. When my model training class becomes formal, I will definitely make it for you." You can’t do it without drinking!”
