Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan were standing in the West District Square, with their backs facing the landmark of Zhongguancun, the double helix sculpture named "Life", which was shining with golden light.
Han Yu and Hu Lanxin looked at the two people in the middle. It was not elegant to stand under the sun on a hot day.
"Didi."
A red Fukang honked its horn and stopped in front of Hu Lanxin, who was waving. She pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I have a flight to catch in the afternoon, Yuanyuan, I'll go home first."
Han Yu was not to be outdone. The sad thing was that the car he hit was in Xiali. There was no air conditioning. In the summer, the car was a pure hell. But he couldn't care less. He was in hell at the moment and just started to work.
"A Fei, I'll take the computer home first. Remember to pick it up!"
As the exhaust fumes dispersed, the two light bulbs disappeared from sight.
Gao Yuanyuan stared at Lu Fei, and Lu Fei stared at her. Suddenly, he was possessed by the rice cook, "It's time to eat, let's eat first."
"..."
They found a restaurant and sat down. It was a little crowded for two people, and the small tables were filled with dishes.
Before I even touched my chopsticks, I was recognized by the customers who were in the mall just now. They pointed at the couple and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Women envy a boyfriend like Lu Fei, and men envy a girlfriend like Gao Yuanyuan.
Their eyes met, and the air was filled with embarrassment.
After a while, Gao Yuanyuan took the lead to break the silence and gently thanked her.
"Don't get me wrong, what I just said was to help you out," Lu Fei said.
Gao Yuanyuan nodded, "I know, but how did you know that I was in Zhongguancun? How did you know that I would be there?"
Haha, go ask your bestie.
Of course Lu Fei would not betray Hu Lanxin, it was just due to fate, ahem, coincidence, they happened to bump into each other at the same place on the same day.
"What a coincidence?" Gao Yuanyuan frowned.
"What a coincidence. Haven't you bought a mobile phone yet?"
"Ah, no, I can't go anywhere because they are pestering me. I originally wanted to buy a PHS and go back."
"Let me be your shopping guide. Let's go after eating."
After the meal, Lu Fei led Gao Yuanyuan in front and walked and talked about everything until they reached the China Netcom business hall.
Although the telecommunications business in the 10 northern provinces is now owned by China Telecom, the operators were reorganized in 2002 and the north and south were split. Provinces and cities including Yanjing were all allocated to China Netcom, which is also known as "Netcom in the north, China Telecom in the south".
They were in their respective territories, established bases behind enemy lines, and fought openly and secretly.
However, Netcom’s PHS monthly package is too good.
"There is no limit to calling, but who should I call?" Gao Yuanyuan glanced at the man next to her, "Aren't you going to buy it?"
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and realized that he really needed a mobile phone to facilitate contact, especially to receive messages from Lian Xiang. He then spent two hundred to buy a second-hand mobile phone. He was used to playing with smart phones, and it was particularly refreshing to play with an old antique like a feature phone.
Saving each other's numbers, Gao Yuanyuan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Where should we go next?"
Where to go?
Lu Fei was confused. Of course he should go home. I'm so busy. Why, do you still want to watch a movie?
At the beginning of the millennium, the film industry was in decline. Not a single movie was released during the National Day holiday. Many cinemas were converted into foot-washing centers, saunas, karaoke bars, and nightclubs.
He is a straight man suffering from cancer: "Do you want me to take a taxi for you?"
"No, save money."
Gao Yuanyuan bit her lip and shook her head. She stood at the bus stop with her hands behind her back and cast resentful eyes at the dull wood next to her from time to time.
Of course Lu Fei chose to pretend to be blind and turn a blind eye. He has no time to talk about bullshit romantic love now, he just wants to make money!
Gao Yuanyuan kept waiting until the bus arrived, but she didn't wait until Lu Fei changed his mind. She waved her hands in disappointment, and when she stepped into the bus with one foot, she finally waited for him to say:
"Hey, are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go to Audio and Video World?"
Gao Yuanyuan turned around suddenly, her eyes trembled, and her eyes were filled with mist: "Well, see you tomorrow."
"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted~"
Lu Fei wiped away his sweat with a groan, and when he sighed, the bus window opened in his sight, and Gao Yuanyuan poked half of her face out, with a smile as bright as a flower, waving her arms and shouting:
"Hey, I forgot to ask, when will we meet tomorrow?"
"Telephone, let's chat on the phone tonight!"
Lu Fei put his hands in the shape of trumpets and put them in front of his mouth, staring at the bus getting further and further away, thinking deeply, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
………………
"Hey, why are you back so soon?"
Han Yu looked up and down and saw Lu Fei carrying large and small bags in his hands, and said in surprise: "What did you buy? Why are there still taro?"
"You'll understand when you get to my house. Bring your computer."
Lu Fei returned to the courtyard mysteriously. Xiao Hongmei was at home, and Qin Hailu was also there because of the National Day holiday.
"This is a computer?" Xiao Hongmei looked at the machine assembled by Han Yu, curious.
"That's right, this stuff is so difficult to learn. I can't even understand how to use the office software. My boss is going to kill me."
Qin Hailu curled his lips and poked his head into the kitchen. On the stove were tapioca flour, black tea, whole milk powder, blueberry jam...
The water in the pot was steaming, so Lu Fei added brown sugar to it, kept the sugar water boiling until it boiled, and then poured all the boiled sugar water into a basin filled with tapioca flour.
"A Fei, what are you doing?" Qin Hailu asked.
"Hey, we're rolling the pearls." Lu Fei rolled the dough into a long strip, then cut it into small dices and rolled it into a round shape, then covered it with a layer of tapioca flour, then added boiling hot water and repeated it three times.
The commotion became louder and louder. Xiao Hongmei and Han Yu also came into the kitchen and stared at Lu Fei as he "fiddled" with black tea and milk powder. A strong fragrance filled the air.
"A Fei, are you making pearl milk tea?" Qin Hailu saw the clue. "Can you still do this?"
"A little bit." Lu Fei took out the pearls soaked in cold water and poured three cups of room temperature milk tea into them.
"Hey, if you reward me with something like this, you might as well treat me to an iced Coke."
Han Yu sniffed it gently, and the aroma came to his nose, "Fuck, it smells so good." Then he couldn't wait to take a sip, his eyes widened, "Fuck, fuck, it smells so good!"
On Qinhai Road, Xiao Hongmei looked at each other, couldn't help but taste it, and then turned their eyes to Lu Fei.
"A Fei, how do you make this milk tea? It tastes better than the milk tea shop downstairs in our company. The milk is rich in fragrance and the pearls are so elastic." Qin Hailu bit the pearl and praised it profusely.
Xiao Hongmei cares about taste and business even more. She plans to switch to selling milk tea. The street stall is all about flexibility.
Nowadays, there are many competitors in major parks, and she is no longer the only one. Although the net profit is still two to three hundred yuan a day, in autumn and winter, the colder the weather, the fewer pedestrians.
At this time, you need a hot drink.
She asked: "Hailu, do you think it will be popular?"
Qin Hailu drank it with gusto, and the fragrance lingered on his lips, "Sister Xiao, if you open a milk tea shop with this level of milk tea, I will definitely invest in it."
"A Fei, is this difficult to learn?" Xiao Hongmei asked.
When his sister-in-law said this, Lu Fei naturally taught him everything he could, but he did not recommend setting up a milk tea stall. He could open a small milk tea shop in an Internet cafe.
I don’t expect to become an Internet cafe. I simply don’t have the conditions.
These days, the biggest attraction of Internet cafes is not the environment, not the service, but the price. Those who can access the Internet have to squeeze out the Internet fee from their teeth. Anyone who eats instant noodles with a braised egg or ham is considered
He is an inhumane rich man.
Milk tea is too luxurious!
"Sister-in-law, let's recruit two or three network management skills. In addition to accounting, you can do this."
Xiao Hongmei smiled and said: "That's good. I'm most afraid of being idle. I just can't be idle. I like this milk tea."
Han Yu suddenly realized: "So you changed the decoration of the Internet cafe front desk like this. Not only do you sell snacks and drinks, but you also sell milk tea."
"Not only that, but also." Lu Fei curled his lips.
"besides?"
Han Yu was stunned and couldn't guess how much was in his gourd!
