Chapter 448 The Price of Being Cool and Full of Fragrant Jade

Hearing Lin Zhiyong mention JJ-DISCO, Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Ayong, do you remember the break dancing we did together?"

"Haha, remember, remember, we also skated together, played billiards, and dated girls together..."

I'll go, Li Xiaofan glared at this guy, Yang Feiyan was present, can I not say this last sentence?

Hearing the break dance, Yang Feiyan smiled widely: "The break dance you rehearsed at the school art performance at the end of the third year of junior high school was really cool!"

Before Li Xiaofan and his friends graduated from the third year of junior high school, Shanghai Film Translation Studio introduced an American movie called "Break Dance".

After it was released, Guaiguai was so popular that many boys across the country went crazy for it.

Li Xiaofan, Lin Zhiyong and others were also among them.

They saved a month's worth of groceries at noon and went to the Jiangxia Street Clothing Wholesale Market in Mingzhou Dongmenkou, the busiest place in Mingzhou City, and each bought a pair of high-top basketball shoes like those worn by Ma Da in the movie.

Then they put on a pair of half gloves and learned how to do it. If they couldn't learn it, they went to the video room and watched it over and over again.

At that time, one of the characteristics of their "Thunder Brothers" dressing was that they wore matching clothes: a group of break dancers must wear the same or similar clothes, either camouflage pants and black vests, or jeans with washed trousers and small legs, which are very easy to identify.

Li Xiaofan remembers that he started to come into contact with real European and American pop music after he had played break dancing. He knew about Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Vanilla Ice, Rick Astley, and Kylie Minogue. Kylie Minogue, Mc Hammer, Han Mo... there are too many to name a few.

"Well, Brother Fan, remember, remember, I still remember one time, the two of us put on the coolest green military uniforms and invited Feiyan and Xiuli to go skating! Then, Brother Fan, you were being cool and skating backwards, and ended up falling. Chew on the mud!”

Hearing this, Yang Feiyan covered her mouth and laughed.

Li Xiaofan's heart rolled with a thousand thoughts: Ah Yong, let me choke you. You can also tell me about embarrassing things like this. Are you a buddy?

In the late 1980s, just like in the movie "It's Sunny", young people in society were popular in wearing green military uniforms or blue police uniforms.

The most popular way at that time was to mix and match white shirts, green military uniforms or blue police uniforms. Military uniforms that could not be worn in one set had to be mixed, such as green army pants and blue police uniforms. The sleeves of the white shirt must be rolled up and exposed. .

My uncle used to be a soldier. In the second semester of the third grade of junior high school, he got an authentic green military uniform and blue police uniform for Li Xiaofan from an old comrade. Then his aunt used a sewing machine to make it a little smaller, so that Li Xiaofan could have enough time in school. It's been great for a while.

Then, on the first weekend, he and Lin Zhiyong invited Lin Feiyan and Wu Xiuli to skate at the only workers' gymnasium in the county.

Accompanied by the dance music of "The Warriors of East China" and "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp" with strong rhythm, wearing military uniforms, holding hands with the beloved girl in the crowd, flying "swish, swish, swish" around the skating rink, This was the most popular thing of the year!

In the first scene, Li Xiaofan pulled Wu Xiuli around very smoothly!

In the second scene, it was his turn to hold Yang Feiyan's little hand, and Li Xiaofan became inexplicably nervous.

But despite his nerves, he wanted to be cool.

In the middle, he let go of Yang Feiyan's little hand and showed her how to slip backwards.

As a result, at the corner, Li Xiaofan, who was careless and unskilled, fell into the mud and rolled several times, leaving his nose and face swollen...

This is the price of being cool at the age of sixteen.

MD, thank you Lin Zhiyong for bringing out such embarrassing things back then, especially in front of Yang Feiyan!

Li Xiaofan glared at him fiercely.

The 1980s and 1990s were the era of disco. It was an era of indulgence, madness, and authenticity that seemed to come out of the closed years.

Discotheques have also become a mark of the times in the hearts of people like Li Xiaofan.

At the end of 1992, Chinese-American Ma Weiren, known as the "Father of Mainland Disco", founded the first large-scale disco in Shanghai, called "JJ Disco".

Later people commented that this "JJ Disco" gave a whole new concept to discotheques across the continent!

In Mingzhou and Ningdong County at that time, JJ-DISCO discotheque was a legend.

Before Li Xiaofan went abroad, he remembered that a self-employed business owner who had gone there came back and boasted:

"There was a big dance floor in the middle of that disco. The floor of the dance floor seemed to be equipped with springs, so it was very elastic when dancing. The floor of the dance floor was as bright as a mirror, and it could show the skirts of the dancing girls inside! There were tables around the dance floor, and I wanted to buy a drink. The bartender made a 5 sign to me. I thought it was 5 yuan, but it turned out to be 50 yuan. I felt so sad..."

Hearing Lin Zhiyong mention the past of skating, Yang Feiyan looked at the handsome and successful Li Xiaofan in front of her, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

At that time, everyone was still young and budding, and maybe they only had a vague favorable impression in their hearts. As everyone went their separate ways after graduating from junior high school, that feeling has long been forgotten...

However, now fate has caused her and Li Xiaofan to meet again and become colleagues.

Moreover, the aura of boys with successful careers always makes girls admire them!

Lin Zhiyong urged: "Let's go, Brother Fan, Feiyan, take me, a country boy, to this JJ disco to see the world! To be honest, I don't dare to go without you guys, for fear of being laughed at by others... …”

Lin Feiyan smiled and said: "It's still early. This JJ-DISCO discotheque only gets busy after ten o'clock! Let me invite you to drink pearl milk tea. There is a new pearl milk tea shop on Huaihai Road. It tastes pretty good."

The bubble milk tea shop Feiyan mentioned may be the first one in Shanghai. Business was booming. They queued at the door for a while before a seat became available.

Sitting in this pearl milk tea shop opened by a Taiwanese, sipping the sweet milk tea and looking out the window at the endless flow of people on Huaihai Road, Li Xiaofan sighed:

"The current magic city seems to be full of gold. Ayong, Feiyan, if you open a chain of milk tea shops now, you will probably make a lot of money in the future..."

In the 17th century, Europe introduced black tea from India, China and other regions. However, because the taste of black tea was astringent, they added some milk to the tea to increase the smooth taste. This is how British milk tea was born.

Soon, British-style milk tea was introduced to Hong Kong, forming Hong Kong-style milk tea. Then it was introduced to Taiwan, forming Taiwanese milk tea.

In 1987, a world-famous milk tea category "pearl milk tea" was born in a Taiwanese cold drink tea shop called "Chun Shui Tang". So far, there is an endless stream of people visiting every day.

Li Xiaofan remembers that in his previous life, there were various chain milk tea shops everywhere, such as Taiwan’s 85 Degree C, Dakou Jiu, Grand Taipei, Dakas, Tea Storm, and Coco, and mainland China’s Happy Lemon, Thumbs Up, Street Guest, Subway, Gulu Gulu, Hong Kong’s lemon workshop...

It is said that this is a hugely profitable industry, and the raw materials for pearl milk tea are very cheap.

Lin Zhiyong and Yang Feiyan were noncommittal after hearing this, and even said with a smile: "Afan, in your eyes, why are there business opportunities everywhere?"

…

Li Xiaofan still felt a bit shocked when he visited JJ-DISCO again after more than 20 years.

Before the rebirth, such large discotheques were no longer popular and turned into various boutique bars and nightclubs.

Currently located next to the Yan'an Hotel in Shanghai, the JJ-DISCO disco covers an area of ​​2,000 square meters and has 818 seats. It is a very large nightclub with a three-dimensional appearance.

The upper and lower dance floors in the disco can accommodate thousands of dancers dancing at the same time. When Li Xiaofan and the others entered, it was already overcrowded. In the strong music, everyone danced and sweated together. The scene was very spectacular!

Inspired by the music, the tipsy Li Xiaofan, Lin Zhiyong and Yang Feiyan also joined the dancing team.

Although everyone’s dancing postures are all kinds of weird, there is no sense of disharmony!

Lin Zhiyong's devilish break dance that he performed casually actually attracted applause from the people around him.

At midnight, the sexy and coquettish lead dancer suddenly stopped their frantic dance, while the DJ shouted in an almost crazy tone in the huge space.

In an instant, a huge mechanical artificial dragonfly slowly slid down along the steel track. The lights suddenly turned on, music played everywhere, and people below cheered thunderously. People stretched their forest-like arms above their heads!

The lead dancer started their very lyrical and passionate dance again, and the air seemed to be swaying like music...

After the wild dance, the passionate dance music suddenly paused, and the dance floor fell into brief darkness. The sky above was dotted with stars, as if walking in a romantic outdoor starry sky.

What followed was a very romantic and beautiful slow dance music, commonly known as "veneer dance music".

At this time, in the darkness, Li Xiaofan suddenly felt that he was being hugged gently, and his arms were full of fragrant jade...
