Lin Yifeng laughed. At first, he just shrugged and laughed to himself.
But as Bai Yejin said something "cute and innocent," Lin Yifeng couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing very loudly.
Gangzi didn't know why Lin Yifeng was laughing, but he was quick to judge the situation and immediately laughed along with Lin Yifeng.
Xu Qingyi looked completely bewildered. After a few seconds, he seemed to realize that the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with karaoke, and could only grin foolishly.
Bai Yejin pouted and looked at Lin Yifeng with a blank expression, genuinely wondering why Lin Yifeng was laughing.
After laughing for more than ten seconds, Lin Yifeng finally managed to hold it in. He asked Xu Qingyi to get him a cup of milk tea, took a sip, and then beckoned to Bai Yejin.
Bai Yejin looked at Lin Yifeng curiously and leaned her head forward.
"The dancers in the karaoke bar are prostitutes!"
In this era, princesses are still princesses, and fairies are still fairies, but the title "Miss" has slowly begun to become a derogatory term.
The combination of the terms "Miss" and "escort" makes the meaning even clearer.
Three escorts.
It means accompanying someone to eat, drink, and sleep.
Bai Yejin naturally understood the meaning of "escort girl". When Lin Yifeng told her that the dancers in the karaoke bar were actually escort girls, she finally understood why Lin Yifeng was laughing.
So that's what Lin Yifeng meant.
But why did Chet Lam criticize the dancers who were singing "The Song of the Rear Courtyard" across the river?
Is it really just simple criticism?
Or does it have some other meaning?
Bai Yejin was not quite sure, so she questioned Lin Yifeng about why he knew so much and wanted to prevent him from going to prostitutes.
But after glancing at Xu Qingyi and Gangzi around her, Bai Yejin said nothing, only glancing at Lin Yifeng.
Xu Qingyi and Gangzi blinked at Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin, seemingly wanting to ask what Lin Yifeng had said, but they didn't dare to ask and could only look at Lin Yifeng like that.
Lin Yifeng thought for a moment and said, "Since we're out today, I'll introduce you to the dancers of Bianjing."
"Qingyi is a high-ranking member of Wallace, and Gangzi has been with me for quite some time, so I'll just give you a brief overview."
As he spoke, Lin Yifeng felt a slight warmth on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Bai Yejin hugging his shoulder, just looking at him without saying a word.
"Xiao Jin should also come and see for herself."
Lin Yifeng looked at the still-naive Xu Qingyi and said seriously, "Let me make this clear first, I'm just showing you around today, broadening your horizons and letting you see the world."
But I won't lead you to make mistakes, especially Xu Qingyi. You're only sixteen, you're barely grown up!
"Wait until you're older before thinking about these things."
Xu Qingyi is still young. Although in this era, there are many people who become fathers at the age of sixteen, with the "censorship god" around, Lin Yifeng naturally wouldn't let Xu Qingyi do anything reckless.
Lin Yifeng said.
Today is just to broaden my horizons; nothing out of the ordinary will happen.
because...
Apart from the white hibiscus.
Xu Qingyi is far too young.
The van hummed as it drove into Bianjing.
Lin Yifeng visited Bianjing more than once in later generations. Bianjing was quite prosperous at night in later generations. Although it was still a little bit inferior to the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City in Chang'an, it was at least not the desolate scene it was now.
Yes, Bianjing right now can be described as desolate.
The city is full of low-rise buildings, and there are no streetlights on either side of the road. In addition, the buildings on both sides rarely have their lights on.
Lin Yifeng checked the time; it was 9:37 PM.
In the 1990s, except for some big cities, nightlife was almost nonexistent. Even in Bianjing (Kaifeng), most people started to go against the government at this time of year.
The country needs to implement family planning.
But most people don't have much entertainment at this time, so they can only make babies.
Lin Yifeng drove his van around Bianjing City for a while before finding a barbecue restaurant that was open for business.
Lin Yifeng parked the van on the side of the road, jumped out of the vehicle, and went straight to the barbecue night market stall, asking the owner if there were any guesthouses nearby.
"Yes, yes, there are quite a few guesthouses around here."
"Go straight ahead, then turn right, go through four intersections, then turn left, and you'll find a guesthouse."
"Air conditioning? I don't know any guesthouses that have air conditioning. Air conditioning is a rare thing. I've only seen it, never used it."
The night market stall owner spoke with a heavy local accent, and his constant use of "I" made Lin Yifeng feel like he wasn't in Bianjing, but in the countryside.
Bianjing was more developed than Muye City. Lin Yifeng guessed that there were hotels with air conditioning in the city, but this was Lin Yifeng's first time in Bianjing in 1992, and he didn't know where there were hotels with air conditioning.
Never mind.
Let's eat first!
Two Wallace fried chicken burgers are simply not enough for four people to share.
Lin Yifeng called Bai Yejin, Xu Qingyi, and Gangzi to a table and started ordering food.
In the latter half of 1992, more and more laid-off workers began to set up stalls to make a living.
Through conversation, Lin Yifeng learned that the owner originally worked in a coal mine, but due to a mine collapse, which involved issues such as corruption, the mine was shut down by the authorities. He had no choice but to start a barbecue night market stall.
"I had no choice!"
“I’m completely innocent. What does the mine collapse have to do with me? I’m just an ordinary mine worker.”
"Those leaders were eating so much greasy food that they caused the mine to collapse, and as a result, I lost my job!"
