Crossroads cafes
The early 1970s in Beijing, I go to work every night shift, near BeiXinQiao, 12 o 'clock BeiXinQiao crossroads will arrive at the southwest corner of the LengYinDian to eat supper.
This is a day of 339 square metre only service shop, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and never close the door.This BuQiYanEr shop, leave me a deep impression, not for anything else, just because it has even today market economy environment many merchants also does not have service consciousness, yes, said only "service consciousness".
Say soda fountain store. Mister owned actually it contains service but far beyond the scope of "cold".I was generally is when the night shift, to catch up with here buy a bottle of yogurt or hot milk, buy two small cake or a cream cones sanmao nine in the house, there are three small square table, sat there to enjoy, feel similar now that comparative purity, and carefree bar or the teahouse.
Night other stores were closed, live nearby, whoever comes home late, and catch the stove go out, can need not worry - a "small store sells you fire coal", and chopping wood;The evening want to write, no envelope, or have envelopes, no stamps, worried sent out?It doesn't matter, small store have envelope, letter, also have stamps;Evening, and the stove on fire, but also too lazy to children hot milk, do?Have traversed, as long as you come to buy a bottle of milk, shop assistant will freely cooked for you and put bottles;If the midnight up nursing a baby, bottle broken, you to shop, are sold here;Evening, whose thermos broken, even while you will leave you shop, give you deposit certificates or filling of a kettle boiled water, take back the emergency, you bought a new again back to them;Here also provide five cents, two teams "peony" cigarettes, let usually can't afford good cigarette smokers can occasionally have a smoke;The most convenient to common people's business, is here and free bicycle pump, the midnight road cyclist, catch CheGuLu was flat or insufficient time to play to the store, can continue your foot gas, the trip.
Then, the intersection of each to night, often have the carriage pulled straw because during the day passes, don't let go, only from the enterprise through city, rushed over to the west or dongzhimen paper feeding, come here, too, his outplayed the mules "as long as it" a sound, into small salesman would hit a bucket of water to give you drink CheBaShi also can house horse, feet, too.Shop especially service too much, attention is social benefits, "serve the people" but do it home.
So far I each passing there, still involuntarily thought of the small LengYinDian.To look at the southwest corner of crossroads - crossroads, subway line 5 already widen and will never be the wear, shop, the former site of this plant has ceased to exist by built tall buildings.And, this is the change, Beijing city of change, the changes of The Times!
