Standing on the street, Zhao Shanhe felt like he was in another world.
The scene in front of him subverted his cognition, although he also knew that this was what Zhenghe County should have looked like in 1990.
But one second he was walking among high-rise buildings, and now he was in a county town with bungalows everywhere and narrow and crowded streets. He still couldn't adapt quickly.
In the 1990s, the streets of Zhenghe County were full of 28-bar bicycles.
There are only a handful of cars, pitifully few.
Not everyone is qualified to ride in a car these days. If anyone can own a car, they will definitely be the envy of everyone.
Seeing the occasional car speeding by, causing a cloud of dust to fly, Zhao Shanhe began to think secretly in his heart.
What should I do?
You can't just say that you want to give Qiu Ya the happiest life, just rely on your words. If you really want to do that, I'm afraid Li Qiuya still won't forgive herself, and will hate and disgust her even more.
If Li Qiuya's last bit of love for him was exhausted, their marriage would be completely over.
In fact, it's not that Zhao Shanhe doesn't know what to do, but he knows too much. After all, he knows very well which industries will be the most profitable in future generations. But he also knows that no matter what he does, he must have start-up capital.
Now that he is completely broke, what's the use of having a head full of advanced knowledge? His trouser pockets are cleaner than his face. If he wants to make a career out of empty talk, that's a daydream and wishful thinking.
In any era, the economic foundation is the key factor that determines everything.
Zhao Shanhe was thinking wildly like this and slowly came to the People's Square in Zhenghe County.
This square is not too far from his home, only half an hour's walk away. In his memory, no matter what the government and the county later develop, the People's Square will never change and maintain its current appearance.
.
In this era, People's Square is undoubtedly a landmark building and the busiest place in the county. Surrounding this square, there is one of the busiest streets: Malu Street.
There are shops on both sides of the road doing business, some selling clothes, some selling cloth, some selling dried fruits... During the day the place is full of people, but at night it is also very lively, with stalls selling goods everywhere.
In addition, there is a movie theater on the street, so it is difficult not to live here.
"Hey, make way!"
"Those in front of you should get out of the way."
"Oops!"
Just when Zhao Shanhe was sighing with emotion, a panicked shout suddenly came from behind. Before he could react, a 28-year-old bicycle swerved and bumped into him.
"Ouch!"
The bicycle hit Zhao Shanhe. He was fine, but the rider fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
This is a little girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a big ponytail on her head and a pair of blue pants. Her whole body is pressed by the bicycle, and she is struggling to stand up with her hands.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Zhao Shanhe hurriedly knelt down and helped lift the bicycle up, and the little girl also stood up.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry just now. You weren't hurt, were you?" The little girl apologized quickly.
"I'm fine. Do you want to go to the clinic?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"No, no, no!"
The little girl subconsciously touched her slightly red and swollen calf.
"It's okay. There are too many people here, so be careful." Zhao Shanhe said.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to watch a movie." The little girl said and went to park the car.
"See a movie?"
Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but look ahead. There was the only People's Cinema in the entire county, and there was a video room next to it.
If you want to watch movies and videos, you can only come here.
A one-of-a-kind business.
At this moment, there are several stalls in front of the cinema. Some of them push wheelbarrows, and some simply set up stalls on the ground. They sell cigarettes, melon seeds, peanuts and other things.
There are several posters pasted on the wooden promotional wall of the cinema, including "Girls Rangers", "God of Gamblers 1", and "Jiao Yulu". The colors of these posters are very strong, and they are very eye-catching. Among these posters,
The most conspicuous one is "If Heaven Is Loved".
There are several posters for this movie, among which the one with Andy riding a motorcycle and wearing Jojo in a white wedding dress is the most beautiful.
“A classic indeed!”
Zhao Shanhe thought about this period and sighed secretly.
Compared with the big-budget 3D movies of later generations, he now likes the movies of this era very much.
"Boss, give me two ice creams."
Just when Zhao Shanhe was sighing, the girl with the ponytail who had fallen down before parked her bicycle and walked over. She stopped in front of a man pushing a bicycle with an insulated box behind him and said.
"Two? Okay!"
"Forget it, just one, two will melt quickly." The girl with the ponytail said as she watched the man lift a cover made of a small quilt.
"Okay, eat quickly, don't melt."
"Here's the money."
The girl with the ponytail walked into the cinema holding an ice cream cone.
This... Zhao Shanhe's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are no air conditioners in movie theaters in this era, and ice cream tends to melt when eaten in the summer. How about a cold drink that is not easy to melt and is more convenient?
He looked around again and found that the people walking back and forth were all holding water bottles, most of which contained cold drinks. Although they were all drinking water, they didn't seem to quench their thirst at all.
"Now is the hottest time of the year. If you can sell shaved ice here, there will definitely be a market! People who go to the night market here will eat it, children running crazy will eat it, and couples watching movies will even get a drink.
Bar?"
"Watching a movie while eating shaved ice gives you a great feeling. It's better than holding a popsicle that melts easily!"
Yes, it’s shaved ice!
The more Zhao Shanhe thought about it, the more reliable he felt.
Now he is not the wealthy boss, but a poor boy with a clean face. If he wants to develop, he must calm down, work down-to-earth, and quickly accumulate the first pot of gold.
And when it comes to shaved ice, Zhao Shanhe is particularly confident.
In his previous life, he had worked hard on shaved ice, and the shaved ice he produced was excellent, and everyone who tasted it was full of praise. In other words, he was just a hobby of shaved ice, otherwise he could really do it if he really treated it as a job.
The boom is booming.
"Although it's a bit hard work, it doesn't matter, as long as you can make money. And the materials required for shaved ice are not too complicated. As long as you have ice cubes, ingredients and grinding tools, you can make it."
"It's easy to talk about the ingredients, but where do you get this ice cube from?"
"Ice cube, let me think about it!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Shanhe thought about it and thought of a person. As long as he is found, he believes that there will be no problem with the ice. If this problem is solved, then only the grinding tools will be left.
"Hopefully I can find the kind of grinding tool I want."
After sorting out all of this, Zhao Shanhe began to wander along the night market. He is a rigorous person, and since he wanted to make shaved ice, he naturally had to examine the market carefully.
Furthermore, although he is said to be from Zhenghe County, after all, he has not been back much since he left. After all these years, he has completely forgotten what this place was like back then. Take advantage of now to get familiar with the terrain.
These are all basic homework before doing business.
After wandering around like this for an hour and a half, Zhao Shanhe already knew what he was doing. Then he saw that the sky was getting dark, so he got up and walked home.
When he got home, Li Qiuya had already prepared the meal.
Two bowls of millet porridge, a plate of vinegar-glazed potato shreds, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of pickled vegetable dumplings.
This is dinner for two people.
When he saw that there was no meat on the dishes on the table, Zhao Shanhe subconsciously asked: "Didn't you buy meat today?"
"What kind of meat should I buy? What kind of meat should I buy? It's good to eat some. Eat it if you like it or not." Li Qiuya said angrily, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, but the more the rice was eaten, the more tasteless it became.
After Zhao Shanhe saw Li Qiuya's appearance, he quickly picked up the bowl and started eating too.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Shanhe stood up and put away the dishes. After washing the dishes, he took a small bench and sat in the living room. He looked at Li Qiuya who was picking up the clothes and opened his mouth to say
