Back to the golden age

The three days of the college entrance examination were tense in the hot weather. It was not until the last day, the afternoon of July 7th, that Song Yuanchao, who finished the final exam, walked out of the exam room, and he let out a long breath.

The current college entrance examination mainly takes five subjects, namely Chinese, mathematics, politics, physics, chemistry, and an English test.

However, except for English majors, other majors are not required as examination subjects. It is up to candidates to decide whether to apply for the examination.

English also has a full score of 100, but English scores in other majors are calculated as a score of ten to one in the total score. The score is 100 points.

Song Yuanchao took all six exams. In fact, not only him, but Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun also took the English exam. Although compared to Song Yuanchao, their English foundation is very poor, especially since Gu Jie has never learned English before and just started reviewing. At that time, I couldn't even recite the 26 letters.

But even so, Song Yuanchao still encouraged them to participate, because the total score in the college entrance examination is extremely important, and one more point is more hopeful, why not take the test and try their luck?

After leaving the examination room, Song Yuanchao rode his bicycle straight home and found that Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun were already waiting for him at the door.The three of them were divided into three examination rooms, and they were not together. Song Yuanchao's examination room was the farthest away, so he came back the latest.

"Brother Yuanchao, why did you just come back! You're almost dying of heat waiting." Seeing that Song Yuanchao finally came back, Li Xiaoyun blushed and kept complaining, the sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the most poisonous, they came early Been waiting for ten minutes.

"My fault, my fault." Song Yuanchao hurriedly laughed, took out the key and opened the door, then asked Gu Jie to lead Li Xiaoyun up first, he parked the car at the door, turned around and went to the store outside the alley, originally planning to buy a few I didn't expect to glance at a popsicle, but I saw a few bottles of drinks on the counter, and my eyes lit up.

"Comrade, how do you sell this Coca-Cola?" Song Yuanchao asked hastily.

That's right, the drink on the counter is the famous Coca-Cola. 1978 was an important year for Coca-Cola to return to China. In early 1979, Coca-Cola returned to the Chinese market after a 30-year hiatus.

What Song Yuanchao saw now was the first batch of Coca-Cola just put on the shelves in the grocery store. The packaging was an old-fashioned glass bottle shaped like a woman's body, with a bright red cap, and the English logo of Coca-Cola was printed on the glass bottle in white.

"Fifty cents a bottle, five cents for returning the bottle." The sales lady was chatting enthusiastically with a colleague next to her, and she glanced at the counter when she heard Song Yuanchao asking.

"Comrade, give me ten bottles!" Song Yuanchao was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the money.

"Ten bottles? Can you drink so much by yourself? This thing is very expensive." Hearing that Song Yuanchao wanted to buy ten bottles at once, the eldest sister looked at him in surprise.

"There are guests at home, so I can't drink it alone. How can I drink ten bottles by myself? By the way, comrade, is there any iced one?"

"Frozen? No." The elder sister shook her head. The refrigerator is a rare thing now. The store only has one freezer and the cooling effect is not good. This summer, there is almost no room for popsicles. Where can I put them.

Song Yuanchao was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, he asked if there were any ice cubes, and if so, he could buy them.

There are ice cubes, and the store sells some edible ice to the nearby residents every day. The residents use this edible ice to cool down the salt soda or the sour plum soup made by themselves, not to mention that the sales are very good.

After spending six yuan, I bought ten bottles of Coca-Cola and a piece of edible ice that was as square as a brick. Song Yuanchao picked it up in his schoolbag and carried it in his arms, and rushed home. When he got home, he went upstairs. Yelling for Gu Jie to find out the thermos at home.

"Brother Yuanchao, what is this?" Li Xiaoyun, who was standing in front of the fan and enjoying the cool air, ran over curiously when she saw Song Yuanchao came back, and she was carrying a lot of things.

"Good stuff!" Song Yuanchao smiled at her, beckoning her to help take away the Coca-Cola and put it on the table. After the Coca-Cola was taken away, Song Yuanchao took out the wrapped ice cubes, then found a towel and wrapped them carefully , Then I found a hammer and smashed it up.

After smashing it a few times, he opened the towel, and the ice cubes inside had been broken. At this time, Gu Jie also brought over the thermos.

Song Yuanchao poured the crushed ice cubes into the thermos bucket, and when there was some left over, he put the lid on the thermos bucket and asked Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun to get the cups.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, first put a handful of crushed ice in the three enamel cups, then picked up a bottle of Coca-Cola and bit the lid off with his teeth, then poured the Coke inside into the enamel cups.

After making three glasses, seeing the two of them staring blankly at the black color, which looked almost like cough medicine, and gurgling bubbling Coca-Cola, Song Yuanchao was immediately delighted.

"Come on! Let's drink, wish us a smooth completion of the college entrance examination!"

Song Yuanchao picked up a glass and gestured to them. Gu Jie and Li Xiaoyun looked at each other, wondering what the hell this was?Is this dark thing drinkable?

But seeing Song Yuanchao's expression didn't seem to be joking, especially the anticipation and urgency in his eyes, he seemed very excited about this thing, the two hesitated for a while, then picked up the tea mug and touched Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao couldn't wait to take a big sip. When the coke with crushed ice flowed down his throat, Song Yuanchao felt that the pores all over his body seemed to be opened in an instant, and he couldn't help letting out a long breath.

"Cool!"

Song Yuanchao praised from the bottom of his heart that the current cola is infinitely better than the later generations. This is definitely not an illusion, but the puree and ingredients used in today's cola are very different from those of later generations.

The formula of cola is the old formula that has not been modified, and the concentration is double that of later generations of cola. In addition, it is made with sucrose instead of the original pulp of later generations' substitutes. It is simply delicious to the extreme.Fat Boy Happy Water really lives up to its reputation, and friends after 2000 will definitely not feel this kind of enjoyment.

Seeing Song Yuanchao enjoying himself, Li Xiaoyun carefully picked up the tea mug and put it to her mouth, taking a tentative sip.

It was this small sip that instantly made Li Xiaoyun's eyes light up, and then she took another sip in disbelief. When she was sure that the taste was right, Li Xiaoyun showed the same expression of enjoyment as Song Yuanchao, holding the tea The jar drank it in big gulps.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" After killing half of it in one breath, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help hiccupping. The heat in her whole body seemed to be expelled from her body with this hiccup, and she suddenly became much more energetic.

Gu Jie was similar, holding the tea mug and gulping down, smiling and drinking while praising that this thing is really good, it's delicious and relieves heat.

"Brother Yuanchao, what is this? Why have you never drank it before?" After Li Xiaoyun finished drinking, she looked helplessly at the few bottles beside her. Song Yuanchao looked at her with a smile and poured her another bottle with ice. piece.This time Li Xiaoyun drank much slower than the first time, asking questions while drinking.

"Coca-Cola, the stuff in the United States, used to be available in old Shanghai." Song Yuanchao said with a smile.

"It's delicious. It's much better than salt soda. No wonder it's called Coke. By the way, why didn't I see it before?"

"Silly girl, this thing will not be seen in the market after liberation. It just resumed sales in China this year. It's a coincidence. I went to the store to buy popsicles and saw it on the counter. I bought a few bottles and came back for you to try." Song Yuanchao explained with a smile.

Li Xiaoyun asked about the price, and when she knew that the Coke cost fifty cents a bottle, even if the refund fee was forty-five cents, she was taken aback.

Forty-five cents, she didn't necessarily have forty-five cents for a week in the past, but a bottle of Coke is worth this price, which is too expensive.

But after thinking about it, it wasn't her own money anyway, Song Yuanchao is a wealthy family with plenty of money, if others don't know, she doesn't know?Isn't it natural for big dogs to eat dogs and big dogs to drink dogs?Immediately, Li Xiaoyun continued to hold the tea mug and drank it happily again.
