Chapter 84 To our youth that will eventually pass away
The styles of the clothes are unisex, regardless of men or women. Based on the average height of people of this era, they are divided into five sizes.
Since the clothes are loose, in order to cover all possible buyers as much as possible, each size spans a wide range. One meter seven corresponds to M size, one meter eight corresponds to L size, and one meter or more is XL size. Same as
Logically speaking, if the height is 1.6 meters, the size is S, and if the height is less than 1.5 meters, the size is XS.
Cao Yue bought herself a white long-sleeved size M, and also bought Fang Lin a black size L. Fang Ying chose the black size M.
The only remaining person is 13-year-old Zhang Guozheng, who is 1.55 meters tall. He chose size S, and the rest are all the smallest size. Liang Yingying is similar in age to him, but she is not tall enough to support size S.
For clothes, only wear the smallest size.
After rebirth, although Sun Dahai continued to exercise during this year and took in very adequate and reasonable nutrition, his actual biological age is still less than nine years old. Even though he has started to grow taller, he is a little over 1.4 meters tall.
Because of his height, he spent a long time trying to figure out the clothes on his body, and finally had no choice but to choose the smallest size.
After everyone finished shopping, they walked out of the cinema together, strolled along Xidan Street, and walked to Sun's house. Because there is one last item to be carried out in today's group activity, that is, eating~!
There was no one at home at this time, and the adults had all gone to work. When I woke up in the morning, I was sent to kindergarten by Li Cuifeng.
Sun Dahai used the key to open the padlock on the door, and led everyone into the yard amidst the shouts of Huang Feihong and Hegel.
As the master, Cao Yue naturally did her part and led everyone to play together.
Zhang Yujie, Wang Huan, Wu Yan and other friends who often come and go also take the initiative to greet the new friends, play poker, badminton, and those who like to play with dogs. The new people quickly lose their sense of strangeness.
, integrate into the group.
Introducing new members and increasing the team through friends was a decision Sun Dahai made after taking stock of available manpower a few days ago.
While everyone is still young, make more friends and grow together. Maybe someone will be able to develop in the future. Just think of this as a long-term development game that casts a wide net! If you are lucky, you can have such a good relationship.
Two of them, will they be useful in the future? So Sun Dahai thought.
That is to say, I have moved now. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to eat together in the Hepingmen courtyard. I would probably have to queue up and wait for the table to be turned over. Sun Dahai is very lucky to be able to move back to the West Imperial City.
Number.
While he was thinking wildly, Sun Dahai's hands were not idle. He quickly started to prepare lunch. Zhang Guozheng and Fang Ying were assisting him on the side.
It is much easier to prepare meals for more than ten children than for more than ten adults.
In less than an hour, lunch was ready.
Have braised beef rice bowl and curry beef rice bowl for lunch.
These two rice bowl recipes are very simple.
Sun Dahai put the beef that had been stewed in advance into two pots, added potatoes and carrots, and then poured in beef soup.
Put soy sauce in one pot to make the sauce flavor, and add kale. In another pot, add curry powder, and add some chopped onions and green peppers.
After they were cooked, Sun Dahai poured the two pots of vegetables and soup into two large basins and brought them to the table.
The friends have already set up tables and chairs. They put two large tables together and crowded together, waiting for the meal to begin.
When eating, each person takes a plate with half a plate of rice. Whichever flavor you want to eat, you use a large spoon to take a spoonful of it, including vegetables and soup, and pour it directly on the rice. These two rice bowls , all of which are delicious in color, flavor and whet your appetite.
The table also comes with vegetable salad, French fries, sauced chicken feet and brine pork liver. Each dish is divided into two plates and placed at both ends of the table, making it easier for children to eat nearby.
Nowadays, there are basically only two drinks on the market: Coca-Cola and Arctic Soda, but these two are carbonated drinks and are not suitable for primary school students to drink in winter.
So Sun Dahai made two large buckets of hot fruit delicacies for everyone to drink.
Of course, things like salad dressing, ketchup, curry cubes and fruit powder were all bought by Cao Yong from Youyi Store.
If you remove the meat dishes from the two cold dishes and add hamburgers, sandwiches and coffee to the dishes on the table, they will look more like Western fast food.
Sun Dahai made this lunch according to the Western fast food formula.
A few days ago, her mother Li Cuifeng gave Sun Dahai the movie tickets he had booked.
Sun Dahai looked at the movie tickets and suddenly remembered the Yili Fast Food Restaurant near the Capital Cinema. It was the first Western-style fast food restaurant opened in China after the reform and opening up.
…
Yili Fast Food Restaurant was opened on April 30, 1984. It is located in Xirongxian Hutong near Xidan, the capital. It is very close to the Capital Cinema and a few hundred meters away.
In his previous life, Sun Dahai only learned about such a place from his mother who attended the opening ceremony of Yili Fast Food Restaurant.
Sun Dahai's birthday is in early May.
On his birthday, Sun Dahai, who was not short of money, took his friends and organized a group to refresh the store after school. On this day, he ate so-called Western fast food for the first time and was impressed by Yili Fast Food Restaurant. ,It left a deep impression.
The main food promoted by Yili Fast Food Restaurant really caters to the tastes of Chinese people. Such as hamburgers, sandwiches, spaghetti with tomato meat sauce flavor, curry beef rice bowl, and drinks are instant coffee and hot fruit juice, and in summer, ice fruit juice.
The side dishes are also similar to French fries dipped in ketchup, fried chicken wings, vegetable salads, fruit salads, etc., which are very close to the tastes of Chinese people.
If it were cream of mushroom soup, buttered potatoes, or a piece of broccoli larger than a fist, blanched in water, served on a plate, and eaten with salt or sauce, etc., it would probably be a Western meal. Not many Chinese people would like it.
For Sun Dahai at that time, he had lived next to Chef Cao since he was a child, and the food he ate here was not very attractive to him.
The reason why Sun Dahai likes this place is its warm and refreshing dining environment and fast and thoughtful service.
The couple often ate in restaurants and were fed up with the messy and noisy environment, as well as the sarcastic remarks and service attitudes of the service ladies, such as "I won't wait for you if you want to eat or not."
In contrast, Sun Dahai fell in love with this place immediately.
Since May 1984, Sun Dahai has regarded this place as his designated restaurant. When he has something to do, he treats here. When he has nothing to do, he is either alone or with a few friends to gather here.
This habit continued until he graduated from college. As Sun Dahai was working, Yili Fast Food Restaurant was limited by its grade and could no longer be a formal dining place for him to entertain clients or colleagues.
Even so, he still came here almost once a month to relive the old days. Until 2002, the Yili Fast Food Restaurant was demolished due to road expansion at Xidan intersection.
At this time, Sun Dahai was nearly thirty years old, so naturally he would not cry bitterly about it. He just silently lamented the impermanence of the world in his heart, and buried this memory that accompanied him growing up deeply in his heart.
…
The memories that had been buried for a long time were opened by a few small movie tickets. The taste was so mixed that Sun Dahai himself couldn't explain exactly what it felt like.
Therefore, Sun Dahai decided at that time that at noon today, he would use his favorite rice bowl and hot fruit dumplings from the Yili fast food restaurant to commemorate his lost youth in his previous life.
