National Beer

"Dangdangdang—"

"Start a meal, start a meal, start a meal—"

The workers knocked on the aluminum lunch boxes and enamel rice bowls in their hands, clanging like firecrackers, and the smiles on their faces were really like Chinese New Year.

"Fin, start, start..."

A tall young man in the crowd was also knocking on his lunch box. Many workers turned their heads and looked amused. Who else can this person be who is not their factory director?

The factory director came, and the masters in the canteen moved quickly, and a few large aluminum basins were brought to the window, and the workers immediately enclosed the window.

Huang Bo served Qin Dong a bowl of braised pork from the inside, and brought three more steamed buns. The steamed buns were still Qin Dong's favorite. After adding a lot of alkaline noodles, they looked yellow, but they tasted delicious.

The workers dressed in blue uniforms quickly filled every table in the canteen. Everyone was eating fragrant braised pork and talking about overtime wages. Everyone smiled happily, with longing in their eyes.

"Well, did everyone eat well?" Qin Dong yelled while sitting at the dinner table, holding a bun in his hand.

"Okay!" The workers shouted collectively, all of them were happy after shouting. The women laughed and whispered happily, and the men shook off their arms and snorted and drank the delicious fish soup.

"Director Qin, eat better than the New Year!" A middle-aged woman who was close to Qin Dong smiled and added another sentence, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

"I haven't eaten meat for a few months," a middle-aged man said to Qin Dong with a smile, "this is the first time I can eat."

"Then do it tomorrow." Qin Dong said loudly. He saw that many female workers dipped steamed buns in broth and fish soup, but the meat and fish in the bowl were all left. You don't need to ask him to know it. Home for children and the elderly.

"Master Liu, the whole factory works overtime, and you also work overtime. These days, rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, you have become a trick... braised pork, braised octopus, stewed pork with cabbage... Don't save money for the factory."

Wow--

There was a lot of laughter in the canteen. There was meat for overtime, and overtime was paid for. This kind of life was unthinkable before.

"One catty of meat, two catties of eggs, three catties of fish..." Master Liu was an old man in the canteen. He smiled and walked to Qin Dong. "It's really hard to buy meat now, I can't buy it..."

This year, prices have gone through the barriers and prices have soared. However, the common people have also summed up their own experience. The price of one catty of meat is approximately equal to the price of two catties of eggs and the price of three catties of fish...

"Others can't buy it, we can definitely buy it at Rongpi!" Qin Dong stood up holding a rice bowl. Vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, non-staple food companies... plus department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are all Rongpi's sales points. , The beer of the second branch is very popular, and they also come to the factory to find, "They also have to buy our beer, this problem will be solved..."

Huang Bo quickly stood up, "No problem, as long as the factory manager said, tomorrow we will have braised pork, hey, Liu Mei, don't bear to eat it, tomorrow there will be..." He smiled and pointed to a woman, this female worker. I am not willing to eat a piece of braised pork.

...

In the past few days, the sky above the second branch is not only smelling of hops, but also of braised pork and fried octopus!

"Gao Hu, do you eat braised pork in the second branch every day?" The truck drove slowly into the factory. The other day Master Li from the main factory where Gao Hu was fighting with Gao Hu lowered the car window. He sniffed his nose vigorously, and his throat went up and down. Fluttering.

"Broiled pork?" Gao Hu whispered, "We are all tired of eating!"

Master Li drove the truck to help deliver the beer. If he left it before, he would say that he belongs to the main factory and it is his father. Your second branch factory is a branch factory and his son. But now he can't stand up in front of his son.

"Gao Hu, I will eat in the cafeteria of your second branch from now on?" Master Li smiled and handed a "Platinum Deer", then took out a match and placed it on Gao Hu. "It's all from the same factory. Where can I eat it?"

"Hey," Gao Hu took his cigarette calmly, and vomited a smoke ring calmly, "Well, where to eat is not to eat, you belong to the factory, you should go to the canteen of the factory to eat."

"The canteen of the main factory is either cabbage tofu, or potato and eggplant." Master Li smoothly stuffed a box of "Platinum Deer" into Gao Hu's pocket. "When Director Qin was in the main factory, there was a lot of New Year goods. I still have soap and toilet paper for Chinese New Year in my house..."

"Director Qin just doesn't care about money," Gao Hu patted the truck, "Okay, you will come to our second branch for dinner in the future, and I will tell the cafeteria."

"It's good to dare," Master Li smiled and opened the door, and took out the lunch box in the net bag. "The kid in the family went to junior high school when he was growing up.... I, I will really be between you in the future. The factory has eaten, you can rest assured, I am not ambiguous when I work..."

...

Master Li took the lead, and Gao Hu opened the crossing, but it was broken. The employees of the main factory and the first branch went to the second branch with various excuses when they arrived at the meal. They were all acquaintances, and Gao Zhandong couldn't hold the door. Up.

Since they are all acquaintances, they can't help but let them come in. Well, they are very popular in the main factory and the first branch with him these days!

"Hey, why did I hear that your second branch eats food alone?" Wu Geng pushed open the door of Qin Dong's office angrily, "I won't leave at noon, and try your braised pork and fried octopus. Huh, you guys. Where is Factory Manager Qin?"

...

Qin Dong did not stay in the factory, but went back to Murder Street. He asked the college for a one-month leave, which was about to expire.

He didn't know that Wu Geng was looking for him, but he was looking for Du Xiaoshu, this kid, the whole factory was working overtime, but when he got off work, he slid off while riding a cigarette.

"It's in the video room." Du Xiaoju also got off work. She pointed to the wing rooms east of Ming Cui Liu Hotel, which are now under Du Xiaoshu's management.

...

The video hall, billiard hall, song and dance hall, and game room form "three halls and one room", which are the main ways young people of this age spend time.

"Shaolin Thirty-Six Rooms", "Wu Lang Bagua Cudgel"...Well, these are all old movies. Qin Dong smiled when he looked at the title of the film crookedly written with a brush on the red paper.

Oh, this is not today's video. Today is playing "Magic Emerald" by Andy Lau, Chen Baixiang and Zhang Min. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao co-starred in the action film "The Flying Dragon"...

At this time, video halls are blooming all over the city, but the best video halls are often opened next to the cinema.

The movie theater often doesn't have one new movie in half a month, but the video room can "watch four movies in a row." The business of the movie theater slowly becomes difficult, and the audience is mostly attracted to the video room.

In fact, the film source of the video room is not much better, but Du Xiaoshu's video room is different. Jackie Chan's police and gangster hero movies, Li Hanxiang's romantic movies, and horror movies starring Lin Zhengying and Wu Ma are in Du Xiaoshu's video room. Can be found.

This was the result of him begging Li Jian. Li Jian called back to find an acquaintance, and sent new videos to Du Xiaoshu every month.

Pushing open the door of the video room, it was filled with smoke and PM2.5 was seriously exceeding the standard. Zhong Xiaoyong was standing behind a table with a pile of cigarettes and melon seeds behind...

"Brother Dong?" Seeing Qin Dong, Zhong Xiaoyong immediately stood up.

"Where is the little tree?" Qin Dong asked.

"You mean Du Xiaolong?" Zhong Xiaoyong immediately smiled flatteringly, "He asked Uncle Du to call away."

Du Xiaolong?

Qin Dong was taken aback.
