Chapter 140 Holy Land

There has always been a saying in Huacheng that "go to Beiyuan to eat and drink tea to Panxi".

Therefore, early in the morning on December 10, Hong Yanwu called three more "taxi" vehicles.

I specially took everyone to have morning tea at "Panxi Restaurant", which together with "North Garden" and "South Garden" is known as the three major garden restaurants in Huacheng.

"Panxi Restaurant" is located in "Litchi Bay", which is "white lotus and red lychee, with beautiful fragrance".

The outer walls are white with black tiles and green banyan trees.

The internal layout is tortuous and rich in layers.

Here, while people slowly enjoy "one cup with many pieces" of snacks, they can also admire the small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

It is precisely because Hong Yanwu likes the splendid wooden eaves and friezes, the gold-colored window paintings, and the poetic and relaxing comfort here that he must drink tea here every time he comes to Huacheng.

As for other people, the second reason for being attracted by this elegant style is that the breakfast in Huacheng really has too many varieties and choices.

Just ordinary rice rolls, raw porridge, barbecued pork buns, and shrimp dumplings are enough to make them stare and drool.

And the wonderful taste in it is beyond the imagination of people like them who have always relied only on pancakes, soy milk, and steamed buns with sweet ears.

As a result, after eating, I couldn't control my mouth anymore.

"Water chestnut cake", "custard buns", "fish fillet porridge", "fish ball porridge", "Ejie pink fruit", "honeycomb taro wedges", "coconut king banana leaf wedges", "raw pear fruit"

", "Honey Barbecued Pork Buns", "Green White Rabbit Dumplings", "Steamed Crab Roe Steamed Siomai", all presented at a running price.

This group of boys were sitting in the "Panxi Painted Boat" that was shaped like a boat, and they were all smiling and extremely happy after eating.

To be honest, even Hong Yanwu felt that his trip was worthwhile.

Because there is a "cream white cake", which is the unique signature snack of "Panxi Restaurant" this year.

Between the cake crust are soft cake bits, sweet and waxy coconut, and crispy termites.

It was even his first time to eat it and he was very surprised.

This should be regarded as a special benefit of the times.

Of course, when it comes to paying the bill, it’s also expensive.

Because Panxi Restaurant is a very high-end consumption place with a strong capitalist flavor, eating here in those days was something ordinary people with meager salaries would never dare to think about.

In addition, people in the north can afford to eat, so this breakfast is almost equivalent to the cost of yesterday's full meal.

So after they had had enough wine and food, everyone couldn't help but express their feelings again.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious. I didn't expect that there are such good days in the world. I can go to a restaurant early in the morning to eat and drink. Lao Guang really enjoys it."

"Oh, that's bullshit. You don't even look at it. They are all Hong Kong tourists wearing big gold rings. The other people accompanying us are locals. Take our table as an example. We ate over fifty for breakfast. Damn it.

Who can afford the salary? Just by selling goods, you have to sell more than a dozen or twenty pieces to make money."

"That's right, I think Hong Kong tourists are also pretending to be big. Didn't the three Hong Kong cowards who chatted with us yesterday say that the average salary of Hong Kong people is 1,300 Hong Kong dollars, and now the official price of 100 Hong Kong dollars is 18 yuan, and the black market

It’s twenty-three yuan. Calculated in this way, they don’t earn much. Even our men earn more than they earn.”

"Hahaha!" After talking to this point, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

It was a sense of psychological satisfaction that was quite proud and somewhat gratifying.

If you think about it this way, this meal is a bit expensive, but if it's just this, I feel comfortable.

But no matter how much they liked it here, Hong Yanwu and the others had to leave after nine o'clock in the morning, because they had to do business today.

There is no doubt that the first stop Hong Yanwu takes everyone to must be "Dazhong Street", also known as "Gaodi Street".

This place may sound unfamiliar to people today, but for self-employed people across the country in the early 1980s, it was undoubtedly a holy place.

Because this street is not only the first industrial products market opened in the country, but also the first clothing wholesale market in the country.

Not only did dealers from all over the country come here to hunt for goods in the mid-1980s, but the 1990s were also the focus of international dealers’ shopping.

At that time, there was even a saying that "if you don't go to Gao Di Street to go to Huacheng, you haven't been here yet."

It was almost ten o'clock when Hong Yanwu and the others arrived at their destination.

Before anyone even enters the iconic stone archway, they realize that it is indeed well-deserved.

The people coming and going are all businessmen from urban and rural areas and neighboring cities, as well as some compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao. Although it is still working hours, there are still people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Although the order is definitely not as good as Hong Yanwu's night market, the prosperity is countless times higher.

When I walked into the street and took a look, I felt that there seemed to be endless business here.

Many places are undergoing extensive construction work to build more formal storefronts.

Although for the time being, most of the vendors do not have storefronts. But the goods are also piled up on the roadside, and some are even scattered on the ground.

Electronic watches, calculators, jewelry, earrings, pearl necklaces, shampoo, cosmetics, bright and colorful fashions, everything is available at low prices, both wholesale and retail.

Almost all of them are trendy models imported from Hong Kong, which makes people’s eyes blurred. They are excited, excited, and have great desire to purchase.

The most unimaginable thing is that in this year, there are already franchised stores in "Gaodi Street".

That is to say, merchants that only specialize in one type of product. They are either all clothes, all department stores, or all toys.

For example, a shirt seller put up a wooden sign, and there were hundreds of shirts hanging behind a small stall.

Men's, women's, Hong Kong style, various colors, various patterns, listed in one place, particularly eye-catching and novel.

It naturally shows a professional tendency and gives customers a sense of credibility, which is very attractive.

The heat was already making them uncomfortable, but Hong Yanwu and the others couldn't bear it any longer. Everyone went up to pick out a Hong Kong-style shirt.

The price was not expensive at all, it was only two yuan and fifty cents a piece. "Li Ben'er" tried to mark the price, and he saved the change and got nine pieces for twenty yuan.

It's just that the height of northerners is different from that of southerners. It's extremely rare for people like Chen Liquan to be over 1.8 meters tall. There's no number on the stall, so the stall owner has to take him to the warehouse in the alley to get the goods.

In addition, "Cier Mei" wanted to find a private place to change clothes, so we went together.

But they really didn't expect that when that young man with a necklace and long hair, who was an unattractive young man, led Chen Liquan and "Ciermei" to his house and opened the two doors, it was a surprise.

The entire two rooms were actually filled with piles of shirts. A rough estimate suggested they totaled twenty to thirty thousand yuan.

"Ciermei" couldn't help but asked a little excitedly, "Is this all yours?"

The stall owner held out his little finger nonchalantly. "Well, that's not much. I'm here..."

The strongest shock is the unintentional touch.

Later, when I was shopping again, I paid special attention to "Cier Mei".

In the end, she determined that almost all the young people here who are self-employed have a net worth that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Take, for example, a girl selling roasted goose in a beautiful place. If she were in another place, people would think she was a returned overseas Chinese.

Because the girl was not only well-dressed and had her hair permed, she also had a gleaming gold necklace around her neck and dazzling gold earrings on her ears.

She was absolutely willing to bet that those were genuine goods. And all the high-end clothing was probably earned by selling roast geese.

The most critical evidence is that the people who set up stalls here have a very different mental outlook.

Most of the people in the capital who make a living by setting up stalls do so because they are desperate, and their faces often show a look of inferiority, shame, and unconscious avoidance.

But the people here are different. There is an indescribable excitement in the shouts and shouts soliciting business.

She didn't know what kind of anger she had, but it was definitely far different from the helplessness she felt when she was forced into danger.

People here definitely don’t envy the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods. Instead, they have a blatant sense of pride.

It was like a dazzling light that melted away her subconscious doubts about the future.

She unconsciously developed a sense of intimacy with this city.

She seems to have seen her future here, and she believes that the social atmosphere and values ​​in the capital will one day become like this.

She even began to imagine that in the future, she could be like the young people here and own a small store specializing in a certain product.

What a happy thing that is.
