On the way home, Zhong Yuan insisted on driving so that the two of them could experience it.
Jiang Xiaoli watched from the back seat as cars passed by one after another on the road, and many people looked at their car with surprise.
She patted the back of the driver's seat, looking completely bewildered. "Brother Yuan, why don't you let me out? I'll get a bicycle and we can have a race?"
Zhong Yuan's face was flushed red. "I was just worried that you two wouldn't trust my driving skills!"
Five minutes later, Zong Jiayu could no longer bear it and said, "Pull over."
Soon the car was finally driving home at a normal speed, slightly faster than usual.
Zhong Yuan scratched his head. "I'll practice some more later. Why do I panic as soon as we hit the road? Especially with you two sitting in the back, I feel so much pressure."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and comforted him, "It's okay, you'll get better with more practice."
As soon as they got home and stepped out of the elevator, the three of them smelled a rich aroma. Li Guizhi had made mooncakes in three flavors: egg yolk and lotus seed paste, red bean paste, and mixed nuts.
The two "gossip teammates" are about to fight because they want to eat the last egg yolk and lotus seed paste mooncake.
Li Guizhi looked at them with amusement, "I tried making a few of each kind of filling today so you could taste them. If you want more, I'll make more tomorrow. Look at you two arguing."
Zong Jiayu was speechless. He grabbed Zhong Yuan by the collar and separated him from the last egg yolk and lotus seed paste mooncake.
Jiang Xiaoli picked up a mooncake, took a bite, and made a face at Zhong Yuan smugly, which made Zhong Yuan so angry that he immediately shouted that he wanted to break up with her.
After the meal, Zongjia went back to their apartment across the hall, and Li Guizhi chatted with her daughter.
"Xiao Li, can you take a look at this menu I ordered? Is it okay?"
Recently, Li Guizhi has devoted all her energy to her private restaurant, working with great enthusiasm every day.
Jiang Xiaoli took the menu and looked at it; there were at least thirty or forty dishes.
She thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I opened this private restaurant for you to keep you occupied. With such a long menu, you have to prepare a lot of ingredients. I think you could rotate the menu every day so that customers can have different dishes each time they come. What do you think?"
Li Guizhi nodded repeatedly, "I knew I should ask you. I just didn't know how to arrange this."
She took her mother's arm and said, "It's a private restaurant, so you're in charge of everything. If customers have any special requests, just have them make sure to mention it when they make the reservation so you can prepare accordingly."
Li Guizhi patted her daughter's hand happily, "Then it's settled! By the way, what do you mean by that website reservation that Xiao Zong mentioned last time?"
Jiang Xiaoli explained to her, "It's actually the same as calling the store to reserve a table, except that this website sends you a message via computer. The advantage of this is that even if you don't receive a call, you can check the message the next day."
“That’s good, but I don’t know how to use a computer.” Li Guizhi frowned.
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll teach you."
In her memory, computers and the internet didn't develop this fast, so she hadn't paid much attention to them.
However, after hearing about BBS from Ren Zhiyi recently, and considering the two systems Zong Jiayu created, she has decided to join them sooner rather than later.
She was determined to make a living in the internet industry.
No sooner said than done, early Saturday morning, Jiang Xiaoli dragged Zong Jiayu along to buy a computer. At that time, she really knew nothing about computer configurations.
Before she even bought the computer, she bought two Motorola 8900s.
Motorola 8900, Trendy Bar
She didn't buy a mobile phone before because she thought they were like bricks and too cumbersome to carry around. But now that she saw a smaller flip phone, she bought it immediately.
Zong Jia suddenly felt a bit disgusted with his own big brick, so he asked for two more.
After getting the phone card, Zong Jia, familiar with the place, led her to a store that sold computer parts.
The boss greeted Zong Jiayu as if he were a god of wealth, "Boss Zong, you're here! What are you planning to order today?"
Zong Jiayu pulled out a piece of paper, "Stop trying to sell me those parts from your shop, just assemble a machine according to what's written on this."
The boss was delighted to have business coming in and kept saying "good" to the customer.
Soon the boss brought out a pile of boxes from the back warehouse. "Should I pack them for you, or do you want to pack them yourself when you get back?"
Zong Jia waved his hand, "I'll assemble it myself when I get back."
He seemed to remember something and turned to ask, "Do you want me to buy you another laptop to take to school?"
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head, "No need."
The shop owner, who had been watching their conversation from behind the counter, immediately spoke up, "Oh my, young lady, this year's newest laptop is amazing! Don't worry, I'll get it for you to see."
The shop owner ran straight to a computer parts store across the street, grabbed a machine, and ran back.
He smiled and said to Jiang Xiaoli, "Girl, take a good look. If you ask me, this computer is worth buying even if you just want to keep it as a collectible!"
As he spoke, he opened the laptop. Surprisingly, the keyboard was made up of two separate pieces, which merged into one as soon as the laptop was opened.
The IBM ThinkPad 701c Butterfly Edition is super cool.
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up, "This is so cool!"
The keyboard design alone was enough to win her over.
Zong Jia looked at her as if she were a fun toy, then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you have this in stock?"
The shop owner immediately beamed with joy, "Haha, you're really lucky! I just happen to have one here!"
He knew he had made the right recommendation for this young girl!
After returning home from shopping, Zong Jiayu quickly assembled the desktop computer for Jiang Xiaoli using the tools.
Turning around, I saw her showing her laptop to Li Guizhi and Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Brother Zong, could you give me the address? I'd like to have one of those computers and cell phones that Little Pear Girl has too."
Zong Jia shook his head helplessly. He turned around and picked up a small box from a pile of boxes. "I bought you a cell phone. This laptop is just a bit more unique in terms of keyboard design. There aren't many changes in the configuration. It's not as good as the desktop computer in your bedroom."
Zhong Yuan took the small box, took out his phone and played with it. "Thanks, Brother Zong. A desktop is a desktop, and a laptop is a laptop, right? This laptop looks so cool, like it has some kind of mechanism!"
Zong Jia sighed as he watched Jiang Xiaoli happily flipping through the book. "Xiaoli bought the last one in his shop today. I'll call and order it later, and you can pick it up when it arrives."
Zhong Yuan nodded repeatedly, "No problem."
Looking at his expression, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Yuan, in his eyes, the two of us are definitely like poor students with too much stationery."
Zhong Yuan paused for two seconds before reacting, "Haha, Little Pear, your description is quite apt."
