一天星子来找我,说是下午要见网友,问我要不要去,我说不去,他接着说:“就是上次我和你说的雪美笑,这次我好不容易才约出来,看你是兄弟才叫你,你真不去?”
我一楞,继而喊道:“去!”
上次在网上我对这个女孩说了些混话,换成别的女孩,早就破口大骂,她的反应还算令我满意。
星子选了个价钱中档的冰汽凌店,说好他先去,我后去,于是,好不容易挨过了他们约定的半个小时后,我一步跨了进去。
我第一眼先是看见了星子,他坐在一个靠窗的桌子旁,在往旁边一看,我一下子没看清楚,再仔细一看,心差点就跳出来。
那女孩穿得很时尚,深蓝色的紧身毛衣,枣红色的及膝皮裙,棕色的大衣,漂亮得简直无懈可击。旁边那个也一样。
我快步走过去,假装突然碰到星子的样子兴奋的喊了一声:“这不是星子老弟吗?怎么跑到这来了?”说完,还没忘扫一眼旁边的雪美笑。
星子也马上装出很高兴的样子,说:“是你呀,快坐快坐,服务员,再来一杯咖啡!”
我说:“这是?”
“我朋友,朋友!这是雪娜,那是雪燕!”然后星子又马上对她俩说:“这是我的铁兄弟,刀龙!或许你们还聊过,小龙,你的网名叫什么?”
我一楞,马上又说:“天堂。”
雪燕这时一下子笑了,看了我一眼,我突然觉得这眼神好像似曾相识过,或许,是我们有缘。
我不顾星子的存在,对雪燕说:“你喜欢小动物吗?”
雪燕笑着说:“喜欢,非常喜欢!”
她的声音也那么好听,喜欢,这就好办了,我说:“没问题,我家有只特漂亮的小狗,雪白雪白的,有时间我带你去玩!”
他又笑了,然后说,好啊。一点也不小气。
再她面前,我突然觉得自己不那么坏了。
后来谈到学习的时候,雪燕说她是全年级第一,也就是在那个时候,我有了发奋学习的念头,也就是在这个时候,我第一次意识到自己是多么的失败。
光棍增多并非是坏事,相反是人们追求高质量婚姻生活的结果。光棍节从网络走向社会,从小众活动变成公众活动,也是社会开放度、包容度提升的一种表现。20岁到30岁之间的单身人士往往是承受社会压力最大的人群,除了工作、竞争之外,还有来自家庭催婚的压力。光棍节无非是让光棍们在调侃中轻松面对,有一个机会互相交流,不失为一个解压的方法。同时,在这种舆论下,社会给予光棍们的尖锐度也在下降,让单身人士能够有更大的空间选择自己的真爱。
如今光棍节已经成为都市年轻人一个特别的日子。在这天,几个单身朋友在一起或喝酒谈心,或K歌泡吧,或疯狂购物,尽情狂欢,体会“只羡光棍不羡仙”的感觉。光棍节的热闹聚会,是年轻人渴望爱情的一种热烈表达。据悉,社会上也有年轻人特意将婚礼定在这一天,就是为了赶上4个“1”的吉利,希望这“一心一意的爱,一生一世的情”能带给他们幸福。
冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
“小龙,你看到网上有个叫雪美笑的女孩吗?”吃铁板烧的时候,星子问我.
“看到关我什么事?”我瞪他一眼,这小子就没有正型的时候。
“那天我有个哥们在网吧看到她,漂亮极了!”星子说得唾沫乱飞。
“漂亮又怎么样?你有想法?”我指着他那副人不人,鬼不鬼的样子说:
“拜托你还是省省吧,除了我看得上你,还有谁带着你玩?”开玩笑的一句话,星子却生气了。他看了我一眼,没说话,我也懒得和他再说什么了。
不过,不是星子和我这么一说,那天在网上看到叫雪美笑的女孩,我还就不会注意了,碰巧让我撞上了,又想想星子说她很漂亮,不禁有些心动。
“丫头,等谁呢?”我嬉皮笑脸地给她发了一句话。
“反正不等你!”她不痛不痒地回我。
“我知道你不等我,不过等的也不是什么好人吧?”我又犯病了,竟把她当作了泄气的对象。
“你?”她不明白了。
我叹了口气,为什么要和她说这些,我是不是真疯了?
我沉默了,后来干脆下线了。
认识她之前,我还从来没意识到自己生活得如此失败。
马上就要初中毕业的我,总觉得日子过得平淡,所以每天都在寻找刺激。也许这与家庭有关吧。
所以我开始混在一群连做什么都不知道的学生中间,每天做着不用上学就能成功的梦,似乎在他们身边我才能找到自己的真正所在,我们每天都徘徊在机房、酒吧的门前门后,寻找着自己需要的渲泄和快乐。
不知不觉中,我在荒废着自己的`青春。
