Ye Wuzheng came and went in a hurry, and by the time he left, it was already past midnight.

At this point, it's clearly impossible to play basketball.

Things have come to this.

Let's eat first.

In June 1992, there were significantly more street vendors than in March. Lin Yifeng even saw vendors selling steamed rice cakes on the streets of the old city.

Zenggao is a specialty food from the hometown of Qin Shi Huang. Lin Yifeng tried it once and found it to be extremely sweet.

He doesn't like sweets, so he didn't buy any. Instead, he strolled around and came across a newly renovated shop.

Braised chicken with rice.

The signboard was Baicao Brand, not the Yang Mingyu brand that is more commonly seen in later generations.

Baicao Huangmen Chicken comes from Jilingyuan Restaurant. During the Republic of China era, Jilingyuan Restaurant was a famous restaurant in Nanji City, Shandong Province, where many dignitaries dined.

Braised chicken was already served in Makino City in 1992?

As Lin Yifeng stepped into the braised chicken rice restaurant, before he could even speak, the owner greeted him in a thick Shandong dialect.

Shandong Province and Central China Province are adjacent. The boss's dialect is not very strong, and people from Central China Province can understand it perfectly well.

Lin Yifeng ordered a braised chicken dish, which cost the owner four yuan and fifty cents.

This price is by no means cheap.

Lin Yifeng estimated that this braised chicken restaurant would not be able to stay in business because the owner's prices were too high, and ordinary people in Muye City could not afford to eat there.

In those days, a meal of stewed vegetables and steamed buns from a roadside stall cost only 1.5 yuan, a serving of mutton offal soup cost 1 yuan, and a large bowl of mutton stewed noodles cost only 3 yuan, while a small portion of braised chicken was priced at 4.5 yuan.

It's not good value for money!

Lin Yifeng dares to price his Wallace at 9.8 yuan because it's a rare treat for people of this era, and Lin Yifeng's Wallace is positioned to compete with KFC and McDonald's.

Wallace's prices are half the price of KFC and McDonald's.

The Macburg that Lin Yifeng killed was half the price of Wallace.

The braised chicken with herbs was indeed delicious, but the price was a bit high and the portion was small. Lin Yifeng ate one serving and was still not full.

Pay the bill and leave.

Lin Yifeng strolled along the streets of the old town with his hands behind his back and even spotted a vendor selling fried tofu.

Pan-fried tofu, also known as teppanyaki tofu, is made by pan-frying tender tofu on a hot plate until golden brown, then brushing it with some homemade sauce and sprinkling it with chopped green onions. Lin Yifeng, who hadn't eaten enough, immediately ordered a plate of pan-fried tofu.

A serving of fried tofu costs 50 cents, a very reasonable price. Lin Yifeng ordered two servings of fried tofu. He was standing in front of the stall waiting for the owner to fry the tofu for him when he heard a hesitant voice.

"Feng, Feng Daiwang?"

Lin Yifeng turned his head and saw a family of three.

The man was dressed simply, wearing a yellow straw hat. He was not old, but his shoulders were slightly bulging, a result of years of carrying heavy loads.

The woman was dressed simply, wearing a gray-blue plaid shirt and loose black pants. Instead of a belt, her waist was tied with a black rope.

The man was holding the hand of a child, who looked to be two or three years old. The child was eating a piece of candy, and his mouth was all dirty.

"It really is you, King Minashiro!"

"I... I thought I was seeing things!"

The person speaking to Lin Yifeng was a boy. After confirming Lin Yifeng's identity, he was particularly happy: "Feng Dai Wang, what a coincidence, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Peak King....

Really...

Nicknames that are almost forgotten!

"Dai Wang" actually means "Great King". In the dialect of Pai Shi Tou Village, Lin Yifeng's hometown, the Great King is called "Dai Wang".

The young man in front of him... was from his hometown, Paishi Village, but Lin Yifeng had no recollection of his name.

What should I do? How can I avoid feeling awkward?

Lin Yifeng smiled and nodded gently. He looked down at the child and said with a smile, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and the child has grown so much."

How old is the child now?

"Hehe, Niuwa is three years old."

It's three years old...

In rural areas, people usually refer to age using the traditional Chinese age system (虚岁), where a child is considered one year old from birth.

Based on this, the child is at most 2 years old, plus the 10 months of pregnancy...

When the man in front of him got married, Lin Yifeng had just been admitted to a vocational high school.

Lin Yifeng racked his brains trying to recall what happened three years ago, but he still couldn't remember the name of the man in front of him.

It's been so long, there are some things I really can't remember.

"Your fried tofu is ready!"

Fortunately, the owner of the fried tofu stall resolved Lin Yifeng's embarrassment in time. Lin Yifeng quickly turned around, took the fried tofu, and handed it to the man, saying, "Come on, come on, it's just a coincidence, come and try the fried tofu."

"Boss, give me two more yuan's worth!"

"No, no, no, Feng Daiwang, please stop, please stop, we've already eaten!"

The man waved his hand in refusal, but Lin Yifeng had other ideas. Seeing that the man didn't want it, he directly handed the fried tofu to the woman next to him.

"I...I can't take it!"

"Take it!"

Seeing that neither of them wanted it, Lin Yifeng pretended to be angry. The man could only chuckle and take the fried tofu, letting his wife try a bite first.

Hmm, not bad.

They seem to be quite loving.

Lin Yifeng didn't remember the man's name, but that didn't matter; he would get the information out of him.

Where are you now? Still in your hometown?

"I'm still back in my hometown, but making a living here is getting harder and harder."
