Chapter 1 First Arrival in Magic City(2/2)
"Let's go and have something to eat! I just heard Shuangcheng say that you have had dinner and I haven't eaten yet, so you can have something for midnight snacks." Tang Ren warmly greeted Song Yi and Xu Shuangcheng. The three of them crossed the two bustling commercial streets around the subway entrance, and went to an old but spacious street behind them. They ordered three portions of fried noodles and a large bowl of wolfberry leaf pork liver soup in a good-busting fried noodles shop.
A portion of vegetarian fried noodles costs fourteen yuan, plus ten yuan pork liver soup, a total of fifty-two yuan.
"Come on, try it. This takeaway shop is something we often come to eat in the "Demon Drifting". Many big stars who film in the Demon City Film and Television City like to order their takeaways to eat in the hotel after finishing their work. I miss the glorious years of the past."
The three of them sat on the round table on the street, and Tang Ren held disposable chopsticks to Song Yi and Xu Shuangcheng, which was very talkative.
He was not familiar with the place, and Xu Shuangcheng was just a little tired, weak and timid, not that he was stupid. His cousin's style seemed to be incompatible with the family's supposed "good job, with a monthly salary of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan"! He and Song Yi looked at each other.
"Brother Tang, thank you!" Song Yi took the chopsticks and drank the free tea provided by the store, sighing in his heart.
This is called ideals very full, reality is very skinny. Before leaving his hometown, Xiao Song and Xiao Xu had various imaginations: first live at their cousin's house, then calmly go to the bar to hang out to make money, and it is best if an agency likes them.
Now I realize that the world of adults is very complicated!
At this time, the shop owner's daughter, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, brought fried rice noodles, which were steaming hot and exuded the tempting smell of food. Song Yi started eating calmly.
He is a writer of online writing, renting a farmer's house, and the monthly royalties are only 2,000 yuan. What kind of restaurant can he usually go to? He can endure hardships. Of course, before traveling through time, he was writing a manuscript of a genius article under his name, and he also knew some delicious food.
How much money do you have to eat, not pretentious!
While eating fried noodles, blowing the cool sea breeze, talking about the hometown thousands of miles away, a crew got off work, and the fried noodles shop became lively inside and outside.
A few familiar people greeted Tang Ren with a smile, "Brother Tang, here you are. You have just gotten off work?"
"Don't mention it, Kai Ye was not doing well on the set today, so I'll delay it." Tang Ren smiled and chatted with them for a while, feeling quite proud of his face in front of his cousin. After cooking the noodles in a few bites, he took Song Yi and Xu Shuangcheng back to his rented place.
This is a 10-story building built by locals, specially used to rent it to the extras who are looking for work in the film and television city, which is the "demon drift" in Tang Ren's mouth. The 10-square-meter cottage has a bathroom, balcony, water heater, and electric fans.
"The conditions are a bit simple, so let's go down. You two sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground." Tang Ren took the mat to the ground, put a new mat on the simple iron bed of 1.5 meters, gave a new towel, and arranged for the two to wash.
After finishing the work, he lay on the ground and Tang Ren asked, "Shuangcheng, my second uncle told me, are you here in the Magic City to work in the factory?"
Xu Shuangcheng: "That's right. We plan to go to Huawei's mobile phone factory tomorrow."
Tang Ren said: "Okay. I have to get up early every day and stay in the film and television city all day long. I can't tell you when I get off work at night. I'll give you the key."
Song Yi was lying on the bed, a little crowded, which is an idiom to describe, called sleeping with feet. It was very hot. The electric fan shook his head and turned it around and couldn't relieve the heat. Listening to Xu Shuangcheng's answer on the other end of the darkness, he closed his eyes and pondered.
What he and Xu Shuangcheng told his family was to work in the assembly factory. The mobile phone industry is very prosperous now and the factory is short of people. Young people don’t like to do this. But at home, they actually didn’t expect them to work in the Magic City, just let them come out to see the world.
Both of them have ordinary families, and they can still get the tuition fees for college.
Xiao Song and Xiao Xu played Xiao Jiujiu to go to a bar to sing, realize their dreams and make money.
Their "Flower Band" often performs at various literary and artistic evenings at Luocheng No. 2 Middle School and is well received. The two have great confidence in their musical dreams.
The small goal of 10,000 yuan is, in the eyes of two young people, going to the bar to sing a few good songs to conquer the audience and sprinkle water!
But is this really the case?
Song Yi is actually not optimistic about this dream. Just like Xiao Song and Xiao Xu originally planned to live safely with his cousin. But now, he is not comfortable living in this situation, and staying for too long may disturb his cousin.
My cousin slept on the ground. This is not a long-term thing.
Song Yi's mind was twisting, he was thinking about his affairs.
No matter what, at least there is a place to settle down now, where will he go next?
I have come to Modu City, and I have to try it when I go to the bar to sing on the resident song. I just treat it as an explanation for the "Xiao Song" who uses music as my dream. Moreover, now I can't argue with Xu Shuangcheng.
He cherishes this pure friendship very much.
If, if, if you don’t get the “employment” opportunity in the bar, how many days will the money in your pocket be enough for? I’m afraid he really has to go to the factory to sell his strength for a few days, and be a screw on the assembly line and a tool.
Conduct what Xiao Song said to his parents when he came out!
He just went back to Luocheng in shame and didn't want to! Otherwise, what would he say when he went back: Mom and Dad, I lied to you before. Woo woo...
Thinking about this scene, it feels awkward and embarrassing. His soul is an adult. It is not a child who can act coquettishly and ask for care or forgiveness to his "parents".
