Chapter 445
Su Miao shook his head and said, "That's not the case. He has relatives there, and it really took a lot of effort to get there."
Hu Xiaodie's eyes were filled with confusion: "You can go out and come back? I heard that it's very prosperous over there, like heaven."
The boss who was serving food to the table next to them heard this and came over and said to them with a smile:
"It's really prosperous over there. We've never seen many of the things there. When we were eating the 'big pot rice', they already had many food stalls and cars running everywhere.
But no matter how good it was, I had been there for several years and felt like I belonged nowhere. I felt like a third-class person. The people from Hong Kong rode on my head, and the people from Hong Kong rode on their heads like an eagle. It was very uncomfortable.
As soon as I heard that my home was open to the public, I immediately used all my connections to go back home. As soon as I set foot on this land, my heart immediately felt at ease.
Young people don't need to envy them. We will definitely catch up in the future. In the future, it will be up to you, the emerging forces, to build society."
When the meal was ready, Su Miao went to the counter to pay first.
The three of them spent twenty-one yuan, which is really expensive considering the current average income in Yongcheng.
After eating and drinking their fill, they set out to find the legendary "Beauty Street".
When I passed by Xiaopangge's uncle's company, I subconsciously looked over and saw that the small shop downstairs had a sign for sale again.
If she remembered correctly, it had been sold once before and was being resold again.
Xiaopangge's construction company is progressing very smoothly. The small park project they contracted has passed the acceptance inspection, but she has not gone back to take a look yet.
Just after she took the college entrance examination, Xiaopang called her and said that he was busy discussing the next project. He would return to Nanning at the end of the month and directly give her 20% of the shares. Then she would be a small shareholder.
Turn into a smaller street from the side of the department store, and a little further ahead, you will see a few ams sitting under an old water tower.
Each of them had a small wooden box beside them, which probably contained business tools. Several ladies were already sitting on the stools in front of them.
There was a lady shaving her face, which was actually just squeezing the sweat hairs on her face. Eminem used a thin white thread and made it into a small mechanism with three heads.
Bite one end with your mouth and pull one end with each hand. The thread will be straightened. Just touch the thread to the person's face and move your hands up and down. The thin thread will open and close to twist out the hair.
The three of them watched with fascination and found it quite relaxing.
An idle Am said with a smile: "Three beautiful girls! Do you want to try it too?"
Hu Xiaodie shook her head and said, "Mom, we want to get our ears pierced, but we have no experience. We want to know how you do it."
Am, who was greeting them, pointed to the stall next to them and said, "Here, it is, there are two price points. See if you can afford it."
It turned out that the girl at the stall next to her was getting ready to pierce her ears, and she was looking nervously at Am who was holding a bunch of needles.
She asked tremblingly: "Am, it shouldn't hurt... right?"
"Don't be afraid! For the sake of beauty, it doesn't matter if it hurts a little. Don't be nervous, it will be over in a few minutes."
Am comforted her with his mouth, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
She first pinched the girl's earlobe with her hands and rubbed it continuously, as if she wanted to rub it until it became numb so as to reduce the pain of the piercing later.
Then he picked up a needle strung with red thread and heated it over the fire. After it cooled down, he stabbed it with lightning speed.
"oh!!!!"
The girl screamed, and Am quickly said, "Don't move! It's almost done!"
In order to prevent the girl from moving around, Am directly clamped her head under her armpit, pulled the needle outward, and let the red thread pass through her ear.
Tie the red string loosely and then cut it short, and you're done.
She looked up and saw the three girls watching were all covering their earlobes and looking at her in horror.
"Hey! It's quick, and it doesn't hurt much. If you don't believe me, ask this girl."
"Ooooooooooooo! It doesn't hurt! I'm not afraid of pain at all!"
Su Miao screamed inwardly: No way!!! This needle, this thread, are there any bacteria?! This is terrifying! Is this right? Is this right? This isn't what she heard her classmates say before, is it?
Meng Jiajia said tremblingly: "Aren't there two price ranges? Is this the cheap one or the expensive one? What is the other one like?"
"This one costs 30 cents. You thread it through the ear with a string, and then you can replace the earrings yourself when you get home. There's also a 50-cent one. It's done the same way, but I help you put the earrings in. This one is made of silver! It won't cause inflammation."
Su Miao looked at the short ear stick in Am's hand. She felt that if she used this method of tying, no matter whether it was made of silver or gold, her ears would get inflamed.
Su Miao said to his partner, "How about I not get the injection today? I'm not mentally prepared yet..."
"Neither have I..."
"I also……"
Seeing that they were hesitant, Am did not force them. He took the girl's money, sat leisurely, and said to them:
"If you're too scared, forget it. Otherwise, if you move around, the piercing might go wrong. Or you could spend a little more money and go to that key piercing shop up front. The lady who owns it also does ear piercings. She's got some new gun or something, and it's really expensive."
When Am mentioned the proprietress, her tone was full of disapproval. She felt that everyone had always pierced their ears like this, so why would she use a gun? She would still pierce her ears the same way, charging several times the price. Did she think the customers were fools?
Hey! Don’t tell me! Three “idiots” really went there.
In a small shop, an uncle is using a machine to grind keys. His business is really good and there is a queue. It seems that everyone is forgetful and often loses their keys.
There is an old wooden sign hanging at the door of the store, with the words "Key Making, Lock Opening" written on it.
Next to the old wooden sign is a brand new sign that says "Ear Piercing, Makeup, Fine Jewelry"
It seems that the shop owners, husband and wife, are running their own businesses and have nothing to do with each other.
"Hello, boss. Do you have ear piercing services here?" Su Miao asked.
"Oh, you can see it if you go up to the second floor through this door."
The three of them followed his instructions and went up to the second floor, where they unexpectedly found another world.
The upstairs room was also a small room like the one on the first floor, but it was exceptionally clean, with tiles on the floor and a beaded curtain hanging on the door.
The sound of music playing from a tape recorder came from inside, and there was a vase on the table. Although it contained artificial flowers, it looked particularly elegant.
The wind blew in from the bright window, lifting the gauze curtains, giving off a petty-bourgeois vibe.
Su Miao was very surprised. Did such a beauty salon already exist in Yongcheng at this time? She thought it would not exist until at least after 1995.
