Chapter 15 second quarter

Qian Liangliang slept very well last night, and woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.He was relieved that last night's booze didn't bring any discomfort from a hangover.What happened with a woman last night, in his memory, was just a lustful dream. As a man, especially a long-term abstinent man, it is not worth making a fuss about having such a dream occasionally. The sun in the morning is the best cleanser. Last night, all the filth, troubles, sorrows and all kinds of bad feelings are washed away by the rising sun. The sun brings more than just light and warmth. There is also the wonderful experience of rebirth.Qian Liangliang watched the outside through the narrow window, and his amazing feeling can only be expressed by thrilling.The bright sun of the southern country has the power to swallow mountains and rivers as soon as it is born. The streets and alleys, tall buildings and low eaves, mountains and seas of Lumen are all ignited by the sun. Like a dream, like a fairyland.The sunlight not only cleared away the shadows of the city, but also cleared up the darkness in Qian Liangliang's heart. Qian Liangliang teased himself with a wry smile on trivial matters that are not worth mentioning: a down-and-out literati, everything goes wrong, he can't make money, he can eat, and he can't even do the job of washing feet.Thinking of eating, he hurried to the washbasin outside to wash himself in a hurry, and then went downstairs to find something to eat.

The Lumen Municipal Government has launched a breakfast project for the convenience of citizens. There are designated breakfast carts along the street to serve breakfast to busy citizens.Qian Liangliang bought two bean bags, a bag of soy milk, and a tea egg from a vendor with the words "Breakfast Project" printed on the car and the awning, and then went to the Binhai Avenue to find a cool shade and sit in the clean room. Dining began on the stone bench.After eating and drinking enough, Qian Liangliang faced two choices: one was to go to the labor market immediately and find another job, or the other was to go back to his residence and be in a daze.He chose the latter, he was fired just now, and he will look for a job soon, which makes him a little pity himself, after all, he has not yet reached the point where he is struggling to survive, what he is fighting for now is a breath, not a realistic sense money.

Qian Liangliang returned to Shijing Lane, but saw Xiong Bao and Li Shasha looking around in the alley with two bulging plastic bags.Qian Liangliang was about to greet them when his cell phone rang. Looking at the number, it wasn't from Juzi. Juzi's phone was what he was most afraid of hearing.He quickly answered: "Hello, who is it?" The responding voice was very unfamiliar, it was standard Lumen Mandarin: "Hello, are you Mr. Qian Liangliang?" Qian Liangliang responded that he was Qian Liangliang, and the other party claimed to be from the Great Southeast Group Company, and asked Qian Liangliang not to shut down the phone today, maybe their boss had something important to discuss with Qian Liangliang.Qian Liangliang asked the other party what was important, but the other party said that their boss would talk to him in person, and then hung up.Qian Liangliang was puzzled and stood there in a daze. He really couldn't figure out what the boss of the Dadongnan Group, who put up advertisements everywhere on Lumen Street, had anything to do with him.

When Li Shasha turned her head, she saw Qian Liangliang standing there stupidly, as if she had been immobilized by someone, so she pulled a bear bag and walked towards Qian Liangliang.Last night, Xiongbao fulfilled his promise and rented an air-conditioned hotel for Li Shasha. The price was 80 yuan a night.Li Shasha couldn't imagine that it would cost 80 yuan just to sleep for one night, so she couldn't hold on.The hot summer is the low season for tourism in Lumen, and the hotel houses are still open, and they can be rented out to earn income. Seeing that a business is going to run away, the hotel manager on duty offered to offer a 40% discount.This time, Xiongbao became even more persistent in renting it to Li Shasha. It seemed that Li Shasha would jump into the sea if he didn't go in, so Li Shasha had no choice but to let him go.Li Shasha slept very well that night. In the dormitory of the restaurant, there is no air conditioner on hot days, not even an electric fan. It is impossible for the boss to pay for the coolness of these migrant workers.Last night was the first time Li Shasha was able to sleep in an air-conditioned room since she came to work in Lumen for so long.She wanted to let Xiong Bao enjoy this rare cool sleep together, but the girl's shyness and restraint made her unable to open her mouth. She asked Xiong Bao what to do at night, and Xiong Bao said that he would just rent another bed, and the two of them would sleep together. The luggage was put together in Li Shasha's room.The large room in this hotel also has air conditioning, but it costs 15 yuan per bed for six people.Li Shasha thought that was pretty good, and after putting the luggage of the two into the room she rented alone, Xiong Bao said that he would go down to open the room, let Li Shasha have a good rest, and then bid farewell and left.

Li Shasha slept well at night and woke up early in the morning. After getting up, she hurriedly washed up and went to find the bear bag.When I asked at the counter, I found out that Xiong Bao didn't sleep in the hotel last night at all.Li Shasha was surprised, and immediately thought that in order to save money, Xiong Bao must have slept in an unknown corner last night.Li Shasha hurriedly ran out of the hotel to look for Xiong Bao, and as soon as she went out, she saw Xiong Bao curled up in a corner outside the hotel door, sleeping soundly.A trace of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the arm that was used as a pillow, and his bare back was covered with red spots from the hard concrete floor.At that moment, Li Shasha cried.

Maybe it was because of a good understanding, Li Shasha didn't make a sound, and tears flowed silently on her face.But Xiong Bao woke up. Seeing Li Shasha burst into tears, he sat up quickly, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth embarrassingly, and explained embarrassingly: "I wanted to blow the sea breeze last night, and I fell asleep while blowing it." Li Shasha felt uncomfortable and said, "Go back to the room and wash up." After Xiong Bao washed up in Li Shasha's room, he hurried to the labor market to find a job.Li Shasha was thinking about Qian Liangliang: "Brother Qian drank a little too much last night, I don't know what's wrong, let's go and see him?"

Now, in Xiong Bao's mind, Li Shasha's words are definitely worth as much as the important instructions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, so he followed Li Shasha to buy some bread, steamed buns, soybean milk, tea eggs and other food in the breakfast car on the street. Liang had breakfast with him.Last night, the three of them exchanged contact numbers and addresses respectively.Qian Liangliang's residence was very close to the hotel where they registered, so the two went to find Qian Liangliang according to the address Qian Liangliang had left. Xiong Bao and Li Shasha came to Qian Liangliang, Li Shasha called Brother Qian again, Qian Liangliang woke up and greeted them: "I saw you two just now, I was about to call you, answer the phone, you guys Is this for me?"

Xiong Bao said: "I'm afraid you drank too much last night, so I'll bring you breakfast." Qian Liangliang looked at the two young people in front of him, feeling hot in his heart. They met by chance, and they were both fallen in the world. What could be more cherished than this kind of concern and concern?Although Qian Liangliang had just eaten breakfast, he was afraid that the hearts of the two young people would be cold, so he didn't say that he had already eaten, so he took the two young people back to his room.As soon as she entered, Li Shasha saw that Qian Liangliang's residence was in disarray, so she helped him tidy it up without saying a word.Qian Liangliang was embarrassed, but he didn't stop him. After working in the society for several years, he understood a very common truth that is often overlooked by others. In many cases, asking others to help you is equivalent to giving others the opportunity to gain satisfaction .What should be polite and what should not be polite is also a knowledge of life, and this is also a knowledge taught to him in the big class of life after he sank to the bottom of society.

While Li Shasha was tidying up the room, Qian Liangliang and Xiong Bao put out breakfast. Although they were all worthless food, they were piled up on the small table.Qian Liangliang chuckled and said, "We just had dinner together last night, and we're having dinner again early this morning." Xiong Bao was embarrassed: "This is not a dinner." Qian Liangliang put forward another set of theories: "Why is it not a dinner party? Three people form a game, and there is food, isn't this a dinner party? There are all kinds of dinner parties. Don't think that there are only dignitaries and dignitaries. It’s just a meal. New friends and old acquaintances, facing the meal, surrounded by groups, chatting and eating, is not only a communication between relatives and friends, new friends and old acquaintances, but also a round of contact and friendship..."

Li Shasha, who was cleaning the room, interrupted: "Brother Qian, can you still write articles? Chinese...Chinese...style...dinner...you wrote this? What is a Chinese-style dinner?" Qian Liangliang hurriedly stopped Li Shasha: "Li Shasha, don't move the things on the desk, I won't be able to figure it out if there is a disturbance." Li Shasha said: "I know, I didn't move, I just asked you when I saw it said Chinese-style dinner." Qian Liangliang said: "We Chinese, the most important thing is to eat. Food is the most important thing for the people. This may be because China is the first country to enter the agricultural society, which means that the Chinese nation is the first to have a stable food source. It may also be because our country has too many mouths to eat, and eating has always been the heaviest burden of the country. From ancient times to the present, with the development of society, Chinese eating culture has gone far beyond the essential meaning of eating, and has developed and evolved. It has become a kind of art, a kind of culture, a kind of war, a kind of scenes, methods and strategies ranging from the rise and fall of a country, the change of dynasties, to the reunion of families, the success or failure of business. The bureau already has a miraculous social function..."

Qian Liangliang was boasting there, and Xiong Bao couldn't bear to listen to it. He gave Qian Liangliang a vegetable bun and said, "Brother Qian, eat and talk while eating." If it wasn't because Qian Liangliang was a few years older than him, Xiong Bao There will definitely be a sentence added at the back of the bag, "Nonsense." Before the words were spoken, the expression on his face fully revealed the meaning. Qian Liangliang saw that Xiong Bao didn't take his argument seriously, and it was no wonder that, as a chef, in Xiong Bao's eyes, the so-called dinner party was just a feast of chicken, duck, fish, delicacies, and various drinks. , Culture has nothing to do with it. If it is not nonsense, what else can it be if it is not nonsense to connect the food cut out of the cutting board, fried in the oil pan, and steamed in the cage with the rise and fall of the country, family reunion, change of dynasty, and business success or failure? Qian Liangliang is very patient, anyone will be patient with a person who gives him a free breakfast early in the morning.He still wants Xiong Bao to make a breakthrough in his understanding of the meal: "As a chef, if you lack a historical, realistic, comprehensive and profound understanding of the meal, then you will never become a high-level chef. You can only be a cook forever. Let me ask you, which is the most famous and most failed dinner in Chinese history?" Xiong Bao called Li Shasha to come over for breakfast, and carefully peeled the tea leaves for Li Shasha. He was neither in the mood nor interested in listening to Qian Liangliang's nonsense, so he responded casually: "The round that fired us last night was the most famous and the most unsuccessful." Qian Liangliang was sucking soy milk with a straw. Hearing what Xiong Bao said, he almost spit out the soy milk: "Then you don't know about the famous banquet? It's the Hongmen Banquet. If that dinner is successful, the history of China will be rewritten. Now we may not be called Han people, but should be called Chu people or something else..." Li Shasha cleaned up Qian Liangliang's residence with quick hands and feet, and put the dirty clothes and smelly socks under the bed into a basin. When she came to the dinner, she interrupted Qian Liangliang's discussion: "Brother Qian, you Is there running water here? I'll do the laundry for you."
