Lu Lu called Xiao Jie again, and the three of them carried the computer to Lu Lu's house.

The house is not small, with three rooms, a living room and a large kitchen. There is a smell of Xiao Bing floating in the house.

The decoration is okay and tidy. The laminate flooring and fabric sofa are all popular things at the moment.

Taking the computer into the study room, Zhang Yanming disassembled the case and checked the sockets and wiring. There were no problems. He placed it in place and plugged in the power supply.

In Zhang Yanming's memory, the world was still dominated by modems. Clicking on a connection would creak for a long time, and taking a photo would take several hours.

But the reality slapped him in the face. The network cable was used to access the home, and the broadband was used. Although it was only 4M, it was a world of difference compared to the 512 cat.

In his memory, in 1999, Internet cafes had to put big red letters on the door to install a 4M dedicated line.

This ghost world.

Make the connection, connect to the network, set up, click, and the familiar 163 website appears.

Broadband is already available, so it’s not surprising that this happened a few years earlier.

It seems that I should get one myself. Now that I have broadband, it will be much more convenient to collect some information.

“How much does this broadband cost?”

"Broadband? This network? Eight thousand, fifty cents an hour."

This is quite cheap. Zhang Yanming remembers that the 512K Mao Internet cost more than one yuan per hour for phone calls. Most people can't afford it. They can't even afford computers.

And in my memory, when 4M dedicated lines later became available, it cost tens of thousands of yuan to install one, and only those who opened Internet cafes were willing to do so.

At that time, Internet cafes charged more than ten yuan an hour for surfing the Internet, and then the price dropped year by year.

"Okay, you can take your time and play by yourself, we're going back."

"If you don't want to play for a while? What are you going to do when you go back?"

"Xiaojie is doing business and I have to cook. It's not like you, the official, don't have to worry about anything. Let's go."

The two of them opened the door and came out. The main reason was that Zhang Yanming felt uncomfortable staying here and didn't quite understand the situation. Moreover, he seemed a little sorry for this big brother.

"Xiaobing wants to go to your place. Tell her that the computer is back." Lu Lu shouted.

Zhang Yanming stumbled and agreed.

I thought it was a secret, but it turned out that everyone in the world knew about it, which was a bit embarrassing. I was very relieved.

The two of them returned home and went into the house to repair their watch. They would pick it up after get off work in the evening.

Zhang Yanming entered the house, and Li Wulan had already returned. She was putting on an apron to put away the meat and vegetables she had bought. She looked very skillful, and the kitchen knife was banging against the cutting board.

"Where have you gone?" Li Wulan turned around and asked, minding her own business cutting shredded potatoes.

"Help the people from Mainland China get the computer." Zhang Yanming looked around the kitchen and bought oil beans. These are good, they should be considered one of the most delicious beans. Potatoes, cucumbers, pork head meat, hot peppers, and peeled beans.

"I'll cut what I can, and then you can make it. What I made is not as delicious as what you made."

"Okay," Zhang Yanming nodded: "Should the pork head be eaten mixed or stir-fried?"

"Fried, I didn't buy any hot peppers here. I searched all over before I found one that was a bit spicy."

People in the Northeast generally don't like spicy food, so the chili peppers sold are basically non-spicy ones.

Zhang Yanming squatted down, picked up a sharp pepper, broke it open, smelled it and nodded. It was quite spicy.

"I'll cut the peppers, so you don't have to worry about washing your hands."

"You can cut the meat as well. It won't feel good to have oil on your hands." Li Wulan was also polite.

Stewed fried beans, pork head, peeled cucumbers, and fried shredded potatoes are enough.

"Didn't you buy some pork ribs? Stewed beans with meat?"

"Well, I went late and there are no good ribs." Li Wulan put the shredded potatoes in the basin to soak, put down the kitchen knife and took off her apron: "I originally wanted to buy an elbow back, but I didn't bring enough money."

Zhang Yanming took the apron and tied it on: "There are still a few hundred dollars in the pocket on the wall, take it and use it. You haven't been working for the past few months, do you still have your salary?"

"Yes, no one will deduct the two to three hundred yuan a month. If you deduct it, you will let me drink the northwest wind?"

Zhang Yanming took the washed cucumber and shredded it, cutting it diagonally so that the shreds came out long and thin, then cut it from the middle, and put the neat sections facing outwards on the plate. It looks good no matter how you look at it.

Swirl the facelift water, take it out, pile the water in the middle of the cucumber shreds, add salt, chili oil, and chicken essence.

Light the stove, put a clean spoon on it to heat it, beat an egg here and stir it up.

Put cooked oil in the pot, turn the large spoon to spread the oil evenly, then pour out the excess oil, pour in the egg liquid, and quickly turn the large spoon to let the egg liquid form a thin layer on the oil surface at the bottom of the spoon. layer.

Gently peel it off with your hands, and a whole piece of egg skin will fall down. Carefully fold it and cut it into thin strips. Sprinkle it on the piled cucumber skin, leaving a window in the middle.

Chop some more minced meat, add base oil to the pot, stir-fry the soy sauce, add the minced meat and fry until cooked, pile it on top of the cucumber peel, and sprinkle with minced garlic and coriander.

Li Wulan stood by the side talking to him and watching him do the same thing.

"One time, I fell asleep while working, and I didn't know that the welded pipe had hit the end. It was propped up so high that the monitor's face turned pale with fright. He yelled in a bad voice and rushed over to stop the machine. I'm so happy."

Zhang Yanming re-primed the pot, fried the chopped green onions and ginger, and added soy sauce: "How dare you be so happy about this? You are lucky that you didn't have an accident. What if you burn yourself?" The newly welded iron pipes are all red.

Add water to the pot, put the cut potatoes and oil beans in, and add a few star anise slices.

"It can't be permed. It's just that it's so arched that the old man looks scary. I don't know what's going on. I feel sleepy when I sit down at work. The sound of the machine is like a lullaby. The old man told me to wait for me again." I go to work to do a shift, two people share a shift, and just go to sleep."

Zhang Yanming turned his head and glanced at Li Wulan: "Update? How old are you when you are up?"

Li Wulan raised her hands and combed her hair: "There are no old men in charge of the factory, it's all us. Anyway, everyone earns about the same. It's a good job to do the watch, and you don't have to worry about work."

Based on what Li Wulan said and the salary, Zhang Yanming guessed that they were in charge of the factory as a large collective.

In 1996, large collective enterprises were having a hard time, and it was true that they would not invite retired workers to come back to work. Those who had not retired could not be arranged.

"I want to go to the galvanizing side. If there is a shift, there will be less trouble in the new factory there."

The pot was boiling. Zhang Yanming used a spoon to skim off the foam and put the lid on the pot: "It's time to divide the place between the two. What else can happen when we're already on duty?"

"Yes, there are always people stealing things, pipes, and iron materials in the old factory here. Lao Gao said that if you see someone stealing something, call him. Don't go out and don't shout. Just pretend you didn't see him.

The new factory hasn't been put into production yet, and the equipment has been installed and left there. You can't steal anything even if you want to, so it's more worry-free.

It’s interesting to tell you that when a new factory was built, the equipment couldn’t be put in and the door became too small. Then it was dismantled and rebuilt. Alas, millions of dollars were spent to build a new factory, and then it was thrown away after it was built.
