Since coming to this era, Zhang Xingyang has spent most of his time in various colleges, research institutes, and factories.

Except for the time when I went home, I basically didn't rest, and I didn't have much contact with the market of this era.

This time, after finishing work at the Shengjing Engine Research Institute, there is still half a day before the flight home.

Su Xiao suggested whether to go for a stroll in Shengjing City.

On weekdays, everyone rarely has the opportunity to go shopping at the base. After all, there is only a small town outside the base that can provide some daily necessities.

Instead of taking a car, the two walked for a walk together.

There are not too many shops that are still open on the street, especially some state-owned shops are closed.

There are not many vehicles driving on the street, and most people still travel by riding 28 poles.

Zhang Xingyang was a little curious when he saw that this kind of transportation in later generations had completely disappeared and could only be seen in some nostalgic scenic spots.

He turned his head and asked:

"Su Xiao, can you ride a bicycle?"

Who knows, when these words came out, Su Xiao looked at Zhang Xingyang as if looking at an alien:

"of course!

Brother Xingyang, can't you? ! "

Su Xiao recalled it, and it seemed that he had never seen Zhang Xingyang riding a bicycle, no matter when he was in college or when he was working in the research institute.

So he covered his mouth and laughed:

"There are still people who can't ride a bicycle. Hahahahahaha!"

Zhang Xingyang was also a little embarrassed by the laughter. In his previous life, bicycles had already been eliminated for a hundred and eighty years.

Just like after entering the modern age, not many people know how to drive donkey carts, and entering the space age, not many people know how to use this kind of mechanical transportation in the surface age.

"Are you hungry, do you want to have a meal first?"

Zhang Xingyang changed the topic very bluntly, pointed to a small restaurant next to him and said.

Although holding back his laughter, Su Xiao still accepted Zhang Xingyang's proposal, nodded and said:

"Okay, let's try Northeast cuisine."

The two walked into the small restaurant, wondering if it was because they didn't arrive at the meal time.

There was only one middle-aged uncle cleaning all kinds of dishes in the restaurant.

"Okay, what do you want to eat, the menu is on the wall."

The other party didn't raise his head, and pointed to the big red paper pasted on the mottled wall.

There are all kinds of Northeast dishes written on it.

Well-known Northeast dishes such as pot-packed meat, slippery pork section, ground three delicacies and so on.

Zhang Xingyang hadn't eaten Northeast cuisine much, so he turned to Su Xiao and asked:

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

As a standard southerner, Su Xiao doesn't know what delicious Northeast dishes are.

Moreover, there are no developed means of information exchange in this era, and most of the delicacies of various places are only passed on by word of mouth among the locals.

So Su Xiao looked at the boss and asked:

"Boss, do you have any delicious food here that you would recommend?"

The boss who has been busy at this time wiped his hands and stood up and said:

"Outsider?"

"Our family has enough dishes, and the two of you can't finish eating two dishes."

"You can have a pork rib stewed beans, and another ground three delicacies."

Zhang Xingyang didn't know much about Northeast cuisine, so he didn't think too much about it, and asked the boss to serve these two dishes.

Su Xiao didn't know what to order at first, but seeing Zhang Xingyang made a decision, he just sat down and waited for the food to be served.

The two sat opposite each other, neither knowing what to talk about.

The work content of the two of them can't be discussed at this place, and as for the things in life, they don't even know what to talk about.

Since Zhang Xingyang's rocket launch failed, almost every day is an office-laboratory two-point line, and there is no daily life.

As for Su Xiao, it's the same, except that when he just started preparing new materials, he went back home, and now he hasn't been back for almost three or four months.

After a while of embarrassment, the dishes have not yet come.

Looking at Zhang Xingyang who kept scratching his fingers on the glass plate on the table, Su Xiao asked:

"Brother Xingyang, have you considered finding a girlfriend?"

Looking at Su Xiao who suddenly made a straight ball, Zhang Xingyang only felt a headache.

Zhang Xingyang still maintains the concept of the 22nd century. The love of many people in this era is just the result of the action of dopamine.

In the 22nd century, due to the advancement of various technologies, all kinds of accompanying companions in the virtual world are stronger than real humans in terms of emotional companionship.

So at that time, apart from the real soul-fit people, very few people had love.

After all, among the hundreds of billions of human beings in the solar system, it is so difficult to find someone who is compatible with one's soul.

So even if he is as strong as Zhang Xingyang, he actually never fell in love in his previous life.

Zhang Xingyang pursed his lips and said hesitantly:

"Until Longguo's aerospace industry level reaches the world's first, I will not consider my own personal problems for the time being."

Although the answer may make the other party a little sad, but Zhang Xingyang is not a person who likes to tell lies.

Hearing this answer was actually not particularly unexpected to Su Xiao.

She had such mental preparations before asking.

At this time, the pork ribs stewed beans and ground three delicacies were also served.

Su Xiao said quickly, "Let's eat first, Brother Xingyang."

Zhang Xingyang nodded, and picked up a piece of chopsticks.

The entrance is fresh and sweet, with a strong meaty aroma.

The ribs seemed to have been pressure cooked first and the meat fell off after a little sucking.

After eating a piece, Zhang Xingyang pointed to the ribs happily and said:

"The ribs taste good, you have to try it."

Su Xiao ate a piece of pork ribs, and it was indeed delicious as Zhang Xingyang said.

So he also put aside the depression just now and started to eat seriously.

Both of them eat very quickly, which is a habit developed in daily high-intensity work.

On weekdays, in order to continue working quickly, everyone basically finishes eating in just a few strokes.

Like the wind and clouds, they finished eating quickly, and the two of them were a little full. The Northeast cuisine has a well-deserved reputation for its large servings.

Leaning back in the chair, I took a little rest.

Zhang Xingyang pressed Su Xiao who was about to get up to pay the bill, and said:

"Let me come, I invite you."

When I came to the window where the dishes were passed on, I could see that the boss was still busy in the back kitchen and asked:

"Boss, how much is the total?"

"Two dishes cost 15 yuan in total."

The middle-aged boss wiped his oily hands on the apron and walked out.

Zhang Xingyang handed the boss a twenty-dollar note, and when he saw the boss who wanted some change, he waved his hand and said:

"Boss, I want to ask you something, so don't look for it."

The boss was also very happy when he heard that he could make an extra five yuan, so he lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"How is the business of the restaurant every day, how many people are there in the family?"

Speaking of these, it seems to be talking about the sad things of the boss. He took a puff of cigarette, sighed and said:

"The past few years were better, but this year's business seems to be particularly poor.

You look like it's time for dinner, and there is no one else coming to eat except you.

My wife used to work in the factory, but the efficiency of the factory has not been very good in recent years.

No, I was laid off just after the new year this year, and now I set up a shoe-shining stall on the street in front of me.

Our family has many children, a total of four children, the eldest and the second are still in high school, and it is time to spend money.

Don't worry about it! "

The boss seems to have no chance to confide his troubles to others on weekdays.

Seeing that Zhang Xingyang wanted to hear this, he poured it out all at once.

Zhang Xingyang couldn't say anything more when he heard the words, so he said with a smile:

"Boss, your food is good."

Walked out of the small restaurant with Su Xiao and looked at the sky of the city.

The Northeast of this era is far more difficult than I imagined, and it is by no means a one-time problem to solve their problems.

But difficulties will not stop us. Even though the road is full of thorns, we still have to go on firmly.
