Chapter 32 Master, so much meat!
In 1978, the gap between China’s living standards and that of the United States was still quite large.
Some people may find it difficult to understand why public intellectuals were so knee-jerk to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. It was really because the gap was too big.
On the contrary, after China's economy developed, everyone's self-confidence was slowly established, and there were fewer and fewer people kneeling down.
Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing followed Smith to a canteen, where some people were already dining.
The restaurant of the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing is actually self-service.
Smith gave a few simple instructions and went to the small room to eat.
Obviously, the idea that everyone is equal is also a joke here.
Where can there be absolute equality in this world?
"Master, meat! So much meat!"
Chen Chenxing quickly scanned the restaurant. It was not very big, but he could see at least ten kinds of dishes, including both meat and vegetables.
He has obviously never encountered this way of eating before.
“Let’s wash our hands first, and then eat it hard!”
Fried steak, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken legs, grilled sausages, fried cod, pizza, toast, Milk, fruit...
This is definitely the most luxurious lunch Jiang Hui has seen since his rebirth.
It just so happened that this was just an ordinary lunch.
If it were placed in future generations, it would be nothing at all.
But in 1978, the appeal of this lunch was still huge.
This is probably enough for Chen Chenxing to brag about for a year in the future.
"There is a plate here. You can follow what I cook."
After washing his hands quickly, Jiang Hui skillfully picked up a plate and started to look for food.
Although I don’t eat chicken often, I still have the opportunity to eat it.
But it is more difficult to eat steak and fried cod.
Jiang Hui didn't mean to be polite at all. He directly picked up two large pieces of steak and fried cod, and then took a bottle of Coca-Cola next to him.
These days, Coca-Cola has not yet built a factory in the capital. Except for a few places such as embassies, it is really difficult to see its shadow.
The key is that such an ordinary bottle of Feizhai Happy Water actually cost 2.5 yuan when it went on sale in 1979.
This money is enough to buy more than two kilograms of pork!
Even giving gifts during the New Year and holidays, if it is a few cans of Coke, it is definitely a very honorable thing.
Of course, Jiang Hui definitely doesn’t have that many thoughts when looking at a bottle of Coke.
He simply felt that it had been too long since he had a drink and wanted to recollect it.
"Master, Americans are too extravagant."
"The two of us came over to repair a car, and we were able to have such a delicious lunch."
"It was just us who ate it. These things are worth at least ten yuan, right?”
Chen Chenxing was on full swing today and ate more meat in one meal than he had in the past few months.
Otherwise Jiang Hui stopped him, he would probably have to hold on to the wall to leave the restaurant.
“When we were poor in the past, we felt that as long as we could fill our stomachs, we would be the happiest.”
“When we go to the vegetable market to buy meat, we always hope to buy the fattest ones.”
"But with the rapid development of China, we will definitely be able to live a prosperous life like Americans in the future."
The impact of this meal on Jiang Hui was very limited.
He just satisfies his appetite.
However, his calm look made Chen Chenxing's respect for his master much deeper.
As expected of his master!
You actually don’t even pay attention to the United States!
“Really?” Chen Chenxing couldn’t help but have a trace of confusion in his eyes.
He couldn't imagine that in the future, Chinese people would be able to eat meat until they didn't want to eat it.
How could this happen?
"Let's go. When we're full, let's go to the car and have a rest. Don't get in the way here."
Two new faces were eating in the restaurant, and their fighting power was so exaggerated.
Needless to say, it must have attracted a lot of people's attention.
Once your staged goal has been achieved, you can naturally leave.
In the capital in early August, the temperature is very high and the sun is very poisonous.
Jiang Hui originally wanted to sleep in the car for a while, but the inside was like an oven, so he forgot about it.
The two sat down directly in the shade under the eaves, leaning against the wall and preparing to take a nap.
After finishing his meal, Smith came over and took a look. He saw Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing resting, but rarely said anything.
After all, it is their normal practice to take a rest and drink a cup of coffee or something after eating.
However, if Jiang Hui cannot repair the car today, Smith will never give up.
"Master, it's already past two o'clock. Is it almost starting?"
Chen Chenxing was so excited today that he couldn't sleep at all.
Seeing that Jiang Hui had been sleeping for more than an hour, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, let's continue dismantling it. We can think about reinstalling it later."
Jiang Hui stretched, stood up, patted the gray layer behind his butt, rolled up his sleeves and continued to work. live.
The weather was very hot, and I started sweating profusely after only working for ten minutes.
The two of them are not that particular. When they are thirsty, they just turn on the faucet next to them, put their mouths towards each other and take a few sips.
Seeing that it was past three o'clock, Jiang Hui's explanation was almost over, and the two began to reassemble the engine.
After all this fuss, it was almost five o'clock.
Jiang Hui got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle. The engine roared normally and then did not turn off.
"Morning Star, go call Smith and tell him that the car has been repaired!"
This was an expected result, but Jiang Hui was not excited at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to do a full set of acting, he would have stopped torturing himself in the sun.
But for Franklin's sake, it's easy to say anything.
Chen Chenxing quickly called Smith over, and saw his tall and strong body squeezed directly into the driver's seat, then restarted the engine several times, and even drove it for a short while. After confirming that the car was really repaired, he parked the car.
“I didn’t expect you two to be really good at it.”
“Leave a contact information when the time comes. If we have vehicles that need maintenance in the future, we can contact you directly.”
< br> Smith finally had some smile on his face.
The car was repaired, solving a major problem for him.
As for spending a little too much money, that’s nothing.
"No problem, you can contact me for anything related to car maintenance!"
Jiang Hui naturally hopes to have the opportunity to slaughter this fat sheep again in the future, and his attitude is also very positive good.
This time, without waiting for Jiang Hui to remind him, Smith took the initiative to take out five hundred dollars from his trouser pocket and handed it directly to Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing, who had been worried about something happening, were relieved at this time.
It’s safe to drop the bag!
