Li Xiujun is someone who has seen the bustling streets of Guangzhou. Decades later, this place became the most developed place in the country.
Whether it is trade or entertainment, as well as the nostalgia for the other side of the strait, they are all closely related to this place.
But Guangzhou at that time was still in the development stage. The tall neon lights were being expanded and there were still many small stalls and vendors on the streets.
They spoke with accents from all over the country, and many even came from neighboring countries.
"Do you like it?" Gu Qingming held Li Xiujun's hand tightly and asked lovingly.
"I like it." Li Xiujun didn't mind explaining her thoughts. She pointed to the stall in front of her and said, "Uncle San, I remember you used to like eating oyster omelets, but the ones in the capital weren't good. The ones here are the most authentic."
When Gu Qingming heard what Li Xiujun said, his eyes were filled with shock. Before this, he had never told this person that he liked to eat oyster omelets.
While he was still confused, Li Xiujun had already dragged him away.
Two people sat in a simple stall with bustling neon lights behind them.
Li Xiujun looked around, her eyes full of anticipation.
She said, “So this is what it looks like to have expectations.”
In the 1980s, everything was in ruins and the economy was booming.
I think today’s young people don’t know that our motherland will be more prosperous in the future than they can imagine.
Gu Qingming followed her gaze and saw neon lights reflected on the river bank, sparkling and illuminating all the people on the bank, making it prosperous and peaceful.
He just stared at Li Xiujun like this, completely immersed in it.
The oyster omelet has been served to the table.
The boss looked at their idiotic appearance and said jokingly in Cantonese, "Pretty boys and girls, if you want to see something nice, go to the other side of the river. It's even better than here."
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of stones for sale!"
"Really?"
When Li Xiujun heard this, she immediately became interested.
Guangzhou used to be rich in jade, but due to the rampant urban construction and the rapid development, these intact jades are gradually disappearing.
To be honest, purchasing jade is indeed cheap and convenient in this era.
"Of course!" the boss said, his Mandarin somewhat disjointed. "Handsome boys and girls! Oyster omelets! Please take care of the business."
Li Xiujun was amused by his tone and quickly ordered another serving of oyster omelet as a thank you to the boss.
The boss lifted the towel from his arm with satisfaction, "Thank you, boss."
After saying this, he left happily.
Gu Qingming continued to look at her seriously, without stopping for a moment.
Li Xiujun felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, "We're already outside."
Gu Qingming didn't care at all, "Is it right to keep an eye on my wife?"
Li Xiujun curled her lips and handed over the Kezaijian. "It must be delicious."
Gu Qingming was skeptical and picked up the chopsticks to try it lightly.
He likes to eat this thing very much. It is very delicious. Coat it with flour and fry it in a pan. It tastes better than the bean juice in the old capital.
However, he didn't like the food cooked by the chef at home before, saying it was Erguang's cooking, but in his opinion, it was just so-so.
If Li Xiujun hadn't recommended him today, he would definitely not have tried it.
But when the thing entered his mouth, all he could see was astonishment.
"This is really oyster omelet." He sighed, then took another bite. It was fresh, fragrant and crispy, exactly what he wanted to eat.
Li Xiujun smiled happily, "I told you! You will definitely like it."
The taste of Guangdong and Guangxi cannot be created by just any chef.
No matter where or when, if you want to eat delicious food, you can only go to the local place.
Although Gu Qingming liked it, he still ate it slowly and patiently. Only after he finished the food on the plate did he exclaim in satisfaction, "It seems that I was ignorant before."
Li Xiujun shrank her nose and shook her head, "It's just that the world is too vast, and Uncle San hasn't had time to explore it yet."
Gu Qingming found it even more amusing. How could this little girl act so old-fashioned?
Seeing that Gu Qingming had finished eating, Li Xiujun picked up the packed oyster omelet and said, "The boss just mentioned that there are stones for sale across the street. Should we go check it out?"
The professional term for stone in their industry is actually jade and gambling stone.
An ordinary stone, when cut open, may be jade or waste.
In previous years, many people made a fortune from this business.
Gu Qingming stood up and went with her, but he couldn't help but say a few more words, "You should know what kind of world we are in now."
Li Xiujun stuck out her tongue playfully, "That's why I want to be with Third Uncle."
Gu Qingming always felt helpless when faced with Li Xiujun's pretty face.
There were a lot of people here, so he took Li Xiujun's hand and deliberately moved closer to her to let their warmth blend.
Li Xiujun just let out a cry of "ah" and gradually began to get used to his thoughtfulness.
After crossing the bridge, there is a bustling night market. Many people set up stalls here, and the shouting sounds next to them are different. Most of the people here are squatting dully on the side, with a pile of stones in front of them, obviously waiting for customers to come forward.
There were quite a few people here, and most of them were choosing stones calmly. The only ones who made noises were those who happened to have bought jade and then cheered a few times.
Li Xiujun was surprised. "The atmosphere here is different from that in the imperial capital."
Gu Qingming explained, "Most of the people selling stones here are from various villages. They are not as experienced as the veterans in the capital, but don't underestimate them."
Li Xiujun nodded to show that she understood.
The two walked forward, observing the texture of the stone.
Li Xiujun could tell at a glance that most of these stones were useless. Even if there were jade stones, there were cotton and cracks inside, which was almost the same as the money they spent.
They thought that continuing like this would just be a waste of time.
But when she reached the end of the night market, a stall suddenly caught Li Xiujun's attention.
The stones in there are good things.
She walked over, squatted down and talked to the boss, "What should we do with the stones here?"
The boss raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiujun, "Woman!"
"Then this thing is a hundred dollars."
Li Xiujun was shocked when she heard this. "One hundred? There's no such price for gambling on stones. What do you mean?"
The sitting boss nodded at his straw sandals, a cigarette still dangling from his lips. "This woman can gamble on stones? What a joke!"
"If you want to play, this is the price."
"If you don't want to play, then go to the side and don't block my view."
In their village, all the people doing business outside are men, but there is no place for women.
"Don't go too far?" Gu Qingming warned him when he saw his arrogant attitude.
Li Xiujun pulled the man back and said, "I'll take care of it."
At this time, the boss raised his head arrogantly and said, "What are you doing? You are from the city and you think you are so great. I won't buy it if I say so."
