In her previous life, she was a slacker doctor who returned to 1980. In an unfamiliar environment, the first major problems to solve were food and survival.
Fortunately, she carried a spatial...
When the boss heard that it was indeed the buyer, he immediately introduced enthusiastically:
"If you're looking for a Japanese video camera, look no further. This Sharp video camera is only 3,000 yuan right now and is guaranteed to be the best in the store."
At this time, the video tape was still placed vertically. Chen Xia asked the boss to help demonstrate it, mainly for Gu Lin to see.
When Gu Lin saw that after a tape was inserted, the picture immediately popped up on the TV, and it could be stopped or replayed at will, she was so surprised that she quickly grabbed Chen Xia's hand and shouted:
"Honey, this is great, this is great. I don't have to wait in front of the TV when I want to watch TV in the future. I won't miss the plot even if I step away for a while. Let's buy a few and take them home."
"Okay, okay, as long as Miss Gu likes it, it's no problem to buy a whole carload of it."
The boss was stunned. "Are mainland Chinese people so rich now?"
The two of them bought two video cameras and the next step was of course to buy videotapes.
Hong Kong locals generally do not buy tapes directly, but instead rent them from audio and video stores. The rental fee is low and they can watch a variety of tapes frequently.
When Chen Xia and Gu Lin came to a large audio-visual store on the recommendation of the owner of the electrical appliance store, Gu Lin was dazzled by the various picture books.
But Chen Xia had a headache because he overlooked one thing, that is, Hong Kong TV dramas are all dubbed in Mandarin when they are introduced into China, such as the voices of Guo Jing and Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The most famous one is Stephen Chow’s personal voice actor Shibanyu. Half of the credit for Stephen Chow’s movie success in China is due to the good selection of voice actors.
But several popular TV series in Hong Kong now are all in Cantonese. If you can't even understand the lines, there's no point in watching them.
When the owner of the audio-visual store heard Chen Xia's troubles, he also gave his own suggestion, which was to watch old movies from the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were Mandarin versions.
Another suggestion was to buy videotapes of Taiwanese TV dramas and movies, which scared Chen Xia so much that she quickly waved her hands.
However, there is no big problem with things from Hong Kong. In fact, most of the things that powerful people in the country buy and purchase are basically bought through Hong Kong. After all, it is just a capitalist country, not a hostile region.
In the end, Chen Xia bought all the Mandarin-language videotapes in the audio-visual store, including TV series, movies, and cartoons. This shows the extent of people's spiritual pursuits at that time.
Chen Xia paid the money, left the address of his great-grandfather's house, and took Gu Lin to continue playing. They also crossed the sea to Hong Kong Island for a walk.
Gu Lin is more interested in food and clothes, but this interest has not reached the point of crazy shopping. After all, Yuezhou is still in a conservative era, and some clothes cannot be worn outside at all.
In mainland China, if a skirt has the hem above the knees, people will point fingers at you behind your back. Gu Lin's parents are very strict and she pays more attention to this aspect.
As the two of them walked and shopped, they began to look for Hong Kong's delicious food. For two big foodies, this was very important.
Jiang is an absolute paradise of beauty.
Hong Kong people love and understand food. Its special geographical location and historical background of mixed Chinese and foreigners in the past have made Hong Kong's dining scene spectacular.
The restaurants, porridge shops and dessert shops along the street are always full of customers, and the pots of meatballs at the food stalls are always boiling, regardless of whether you are rich or poor.
The two of them didn't like to look for big hotels and restaurants, but preferred to look for special snacks. Gu Lin especially liked sweets, so they would accept any of them, such as egg waffles, egg tarts, pineapple buns, etc.
As for dessert shops and ice cream shops, they are the places they go to the most.
Chen Xia also secretly bought a lot of sweets and put them in her own space hospital when Gu Lin wasn't paying attention. After returning to the mainland, she would no longer be able to eat these delicacies.
He is rich now, but it is only 1983 and he is 21 years old. By the time the mainland is fully opened up and all kinds of food are available, he will be at least 50 years old, and a person's golden age will have passed.
So if you want to enjoy life, you have to travel to Hong Kong or abroad often. Otherwise, why make so much money?
To save all mankind?
Stop joking, just leave this kind of thing to the saints, such as those white leftists who shout "Black Lives Matter" every day and voluntarily dedicate their bodies and souls to black people.
It was inevitable to run into some gangsters on the streets of Hong Kong in the 1980s, and especially when people heard them speaking Mandarin, it attracted some people's attention.
In a back street in Hong Kong Island, Chen Xia and Gu Lin were stopped by four or five gang members.
Chen Xia thought Gu Lin would be scared, but no, how could a soldier's daughter understand the word fear? The little girl stood behind Chen Xia.
"What are you doing? You're trying to act like a hooligan in broad daylight."
Chen Xia really wanted to give his wife a thumbs-up. What does it mean to be a heroine? This is the true spirit of a heroine.
"Oh, she's still a hottie, Sizi, chick, you can't miss this pretty girl."
A few hooligans with permed hair and bell-bottom pants were about to come forward to grab Gu Lin with a grin and a ruffian look on their faces.
Chen Xia sighed inwardly, then put on a fake smile and said, "You're just looking for money. I have 5,000 Hong Kong dollars here. Take it and have some tea."
One of the hooligans wearing sunglasses laughed lewdly: "Originally you came here to seek wealth, but now you want sex. Northerners, if you're smart, just get out of here. But this northern girl will stay and play with the brothers."
Chen Xia's face darkened. What man could stand teasing his wife? If he didn't fight back, he really thought she was Hello Kitty.
But he is not Brother Jing, and he does not know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The best way at this time is to show his weapon.
As a result, when he heard that he was going to rape his wife, Chen Xia's temper flared up and he immediately used his ultimate move.
Chen Xia didn't play by the rules, and the gangsters didn't play by the rules either. At this time, they even had the mood to whistle.
"Look, this Yankee is carrying a toy gun. Who is he trying to scare? If you have the guts, just shoot. Come on, hahahaha."
"Exactly. Who are you trying to scare with a fake product?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get started."
