Chapter 10: First Meal in Shanghai: KFC
Chapter 10 First Meal in Shanghai: KFC
"Brother Kang, let's transfer the cigarettes to that Tang Deshang.
Will he betray us too?
We will be in trouble then.”
Li Kang must have considered this factor. Although they are minors, it would still have a certain impact if they were exposed.
"Don't worry, the criminal investigation methods of this era are not so advanced."
What he wanted to say was that many unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and even ragtag murder cases, have remained unsolved for decades.
"So as long as we leave the train station, they won't be able to find us."
After hearing Li Kang's words, Liu Lang finally felt relieved.
My admiration for Li Kang has risen to a new level.
In his entire life, Li Kang is the first person whom he admires so much.
Not only does he have a broad and tolerant heart, but he also has profound wisdom.
They got rid of the hot potato in their hands, made a fortune by the way, and finally got the Shanghai people who looked down on them into jail.
After Tang Deshang was caught, it was soon discovered that the cigarettes he was carrying were specially made.
Things that are strictly prohibited by national laws.
It would be a great achievement if we caught him. We also found a large amount of cash on him.
Although Tang Deshang kept shouting that he was innocent.
The people who arrested them had some doubts at first, thinking that they might be used as a gun, but after seeing the large amount of cash in Tang Deshang's briefcase,
This matter has basically been confirmed.
With three hundred thousand in stolen money and a large amount of specially made cigarettes, their contribution this time is huge.
As for what Tang Deshang kept saying, "I was framed by a kid."
Go to hell!
What kind of benefits can a group of kids get? Adults have more benefits than adults.
……
Li Kang asked Meixia and the others to wait by the flower bed, and then called Liu Lang to a place where they couldn't see him.
It’s not that Li Kang doesn’t trust them, but after getting to know them over the past few days, he found that Lin Meixia, Guo Yixing and Zhang Yiming were all too naive.
Only Li Kang and Liu Lang know these secrets.
"Liu Lang, this is the six thousand yuan I got from Tang Deshang. How about we each take half?"
"Brother Kang, I can't take half of it. If it weren't for you, that guy Tang Deshang would have taken it back."
"What do you mean you don't need it? In a place like Shanghai, how are you going to get rich if you don't have money?"
Li Kang forced it into his hand and said, "We don't even know how our parents are doing here."
"What if they don't do well, or don't like us? What should we do then?"
The question raised by Li Kang is very realistic, but it is by no means impossible.
As long as their parents are not dead, those who stayed in Shanghai have most likely re-formed their families.
“What would we do if they had a new family?
Have you thought about these?"
After Li Kang asked Liu Lang to collect the money, he called the others over.
Although everyone got along very well along the way, they were all looking forward to arriving in Shanghai.
Seeing my biological father or biological father and being able to live with them.
Li Kang was reluctant to shatter their fantasies at that time.
But now that we are in Shanghai, there are some things that we have to talk about.
"Let's go find a store and buy some food."
Li Kang remembers that there was KFC in Shanghai at that time.
It certainly won’t be cheap.
The productivity at that time was not enough to produce broiler chickens in large quantities.
The white-feathered chickens that Li Kang ate in later generations grew meat very quickly, but it seems that they are not available now.
So the price is definitely not cheap.
Even those who buy fruit on the roadside are also promoting the idea of "frequent visits".
"Things are so expensive in Shanghai. A pound of bananas costs three yuan. Where we live, they only cost a few cents."
A few kids just took a look and complained.
The stall owner got angry and said, "Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? If you can't afford it, get out of here."
"Brother Kang, Shanghai people are so fierce."
Li Kang could only explain: "These are just low-level Shanghainese who don't have a good life themselves, so they like to belittle outsiders to seek a sense of existence.
Let's just ignore him." "Just treat it as a barking dog."
Li Kang deliberately said loudly.
The angry stall owner stood up, picked up the carrying pole next to him and was about to come over to beat them.
"Run."
This kid Liu Lang took advantage of the chaos and deliberately kicked someone's fruit stall.
In a short while, the fruits were scattered everywhere, and passers-by took the opportunity to grab them.
The stall owner then panicked and stopped chasing them.
All the food you eat will be taken away.
After running a few hundred meters, the bustling city around them made them forget their fatigue.
There were also some unhappy experiences.
“Shanghai is so big and beautiful.”
Except for Li Kang, the other four were seeing such a modern big city for the first time.
I was a little at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe this magnificent and prosperous metropolis.
"Compared with Shanghai, our hometown is just a rural area."
"Yes, even Kunming is no different from a rural area."
Although it was Li Kang's first time seeing Shanghai in 93, he still recognized some of the iconic buildings.
It was just that the traffic on the road was a little unfamiliar to him.
At that time, there were as many bicycles on the streets as there are electric vehicles later.
The car was very similar to the brand he remembered.
Most of them are Japanese and Korean brands.
Among them, Japanese Xiali is more common at this time.
The road was not the asphalt road he was familiar with.
Standing on the land of Shanghai, he felt like he was reborn in the 1990s.
Li Kang saw a very common KFC on the roadside.
But nowadays, eating at KFC is a very prestigious thing.
It’s enough to brag in front of my classmates.
"Brother Kang, what is KFC?" Lin Meixia asked curiously.
"Meixia, I guess KFC is the nursing home. Look, there's an old man's head on their sign."
Guo Yixing made a ridiculous guess.
Li Kang couldn't help but scolded with a smile: "You have a very strange way of thinking."
"Come on, I'll show you what KFC is. I guarantee that after you go in once, you'll want to go in a second time."
Li Kang took Lin Meixia's hand and pulled her towards KFC.
I brushed past an oncoming bicycle.
"What are you running around for?"
The children ignored him.
With Li Kang leading the way, they were all very brave.
"Meixia, what's the most delicious thing you've ever eaten?"
Lin Meixia was holding Li Kang's hand. It was not the first time that the werewolf held hands. She had become accustomed to being held by Li Kang.
"I had cake once, and it was delicious."
Li Kang was a little surprised that a girl from Yunnan actually liked to eat sweets.
"Then I'm not going to take you to eat sweets later."
"As long as Brother Kang wants to take me to eat, I like to eat it."
Lin Meixia's innocent smile is the best representative of this era.
As soon as KFC entered the mainland market, it was warmly welcomed by Shanghai residents.
The fast food from the other side of the ocean immediately attracted people's attention.
No one had ever eaten these foods before.
Every weekend, the lines for KFC can be hundreds of meters long.
'Even during normal working hours, you still need to queue up.'
"Brother Kang, there are so many people here. How long will it take to wait in line before we can eat?"
