Start with a Siheyuan

177 Departure 2
"Jingru, after I send you home today, you will come back in five days, do you understand?"

"Why five days later, I want to come back to be with you tomorrow"

"The annual leave will be over in two days. I'll find a way to find you a job in the city. When the time comes, let them arrange a place for you to live in. You don't have to live at your cousin's house. It's also convenient for me to find you."

"But I heard that it's hard for people in the city to find a job, let alone a rural person like me, the factory doesn't even want a rural household registration." Wang Jingru said disappointedly to Li Lang

"Rules are dead, people are alive, you don't need to worry about the rest, you just need someone to come over in five days, and I will handle the rest. You have to believe in your man's strength, I can still do this."

"Really, thank you Li Lang"

"You are all mine now, why are you being polite to me? Don't go to your cousin when you come. Didn't you come to our factory with your cousin last time? Remember the way now."

"Remember"

"When you come, go directly to the factory, but don't go when you are on and off work. When you get to the factory gate, you tell the gatekeeper directly, you go to Li Lang, and ask them to call the back kitchen, and I will come out to find you. "

"Well, I remember."

"Here, take these things home and give them to your parents to taste. You still have some money to spend first," Li Lang said as he handed the snacks and 20 yuan to Wang Jingru.

"No, I can't ask for your money anymore. You have spent a lot for me these two days. You have only been at work for two months. You are a man and you are in the city. You spend more money than me. You can keep this money for yourself." Wang Jingru only took the dim sum, but refused to ask for Li Lang's money

Hearing what Wang Jingru said, Li Lang felt relieved in his heart. He was not blind, and he didn't treat this silly girl in vain these two days, so he said

"Silly girl, didn't I tell you that I don't live on my salary, my extra money is much more than my salary, and my salary is just a cover, come on, take it quickly" Li Lang stuffed the money into Wang Jingru's pocket pocket.

"Li Lang, you are so kind to me." Wang Jingru looked at Li Lang with fiery eyes and said
"Fool, you are all mine now. I'm not good to you. I'm not good to anyone. Jingru, the car is about to start. I'm telling you the last thing, you must remember it"

"Yeah, Li Lang, tell me, I will listen to you for everything."

"If your parents ask about the two of us, you say that I am still trying to get along, and then you tell them about your cousin's embezzlement and the ticket money I gave you,

The following is the most important point, you must remember that when others ask me about my situation, you only talk about my real salary, and don’t take the initiative to bring up the extra money, including your parents, even if someone asks about the extra money In terms of things, you can only say that when I cook for others, they will let me take some extra meals home out of gratitude, understand. "

"Understood, I will definitely not tell anyone."

"Just understand, you must remember what I said, otherwise I will have no choice but to let you go."

Hearing what Li Lang said, Wang Jingru said with tears: "Li Lang, you must not want me. I gave you my body. If you want me, how will I live in the future? I will definitely listen to you in the future. , do as you say."

Seeing this, Li Lang quickly comforted him, "As long as you are obedient, why would I not want you?"

"Be obedient, I will definitely listen to you."Wang Jingru nodded repeatedly and said

The car was about to leave, Li Lang waved to Wang Jingru who was in the car, Wang Jingru also stretched out her head and hands from the window, and waved to Li Lang.

Li Lang stood there and watched the car Wang Jingru was sitting in quietly, until the car disappeared from his eyes, Li Lang turned and left.

In the past few days, the money Li Lang saved before and the money he earned recently have already cost seven to eighty eighty-eight, and he will continue to sell goods in the Pigeon Market.

This time Li Lang doesn't plan to sell canned food. He plans to use waste to sell the pile of all kinds of offal accumulated in the void frozen warehouse. It may be difficult to sell all kinds of offal in other places in this era, but selling offal in the capital It's still very easy, who made these old Beijingers love braised stew.

People nowadays are poor and have no oily water in their bodies, but it’s not that it’s expensive when it touches meat. Most fish are sold cheaper than noodles in this era. In Li Lang’s timeline, pork ribs are the most expensive , counting forward 30 years, ribs are all given to you for free, if you ask for it, they will give you a butcher, at most a symbolic fee for hard work, Li Lang still remembers that he read a news a long time ago, In this day and age, the poor people in Shanghai live by eating hairy crabs for three meals a day. Poverty is equated with hairy crabs... Can you believe it?

This time Li Lang didn't plan to use cloth bags, because there were too few cloth bags, and the water itself was cheap, and if there were too few bags, it was not enough troublesome money. This was because in the capital, in this day and age, if it was in other cities, it would be too expensive. You don't have to give it away for nothing if you pile up the water.

Li Lang first went to the Pigeon Market near the station to find a pannier seller. He bought several panniers for [-] yuan. The panniers had a cover and a wooden strap on them, which was quite convenient.

Li Lang took his back basket and walked to an unoccupied place, entered the empty farm and ranch, and took out the offal from the frozen warehouse to defrost. The offal was processed by the system in the slaughterhouse, and it was all clean. Li Lang While waiting for the thawing, Lang made some various dessert cakes in the kitchen of the space, which were used when helping Wang Jingru find a job.
The things frozen in the freezer warehouse don’t mean that they are frozen hard, it can only be said that they are very icy, and the thawing was completed in an hour. Li Lang put the offal into the bamboo basket, took a few pieces of paper, wrapped it, and cut it. Putting the pork into the cloth bag, he returned to the real world again. This time, Li Lang did not go to the pigeon market where he bought the backpack, but went to another pigeon market a long way away.
The Pigeon Market this time is different from the one that Li Lang went to in the middle of the night. This place is a very remote alley. There are food sellers, snacks, antiques, and tickets. , there are all kinds of things for sale, unlike the one in the previous night, which basically sells food.

But here is the same as the pigeon market at night, there is basically no loud shouting, and the bargaining is all whispers.

Li Lang found a space to put the back basket down, first and then opened the lid, put all kinds of sewage into the mouth of the bamboo basket, and put the pork in the cloth bag on the lid.

"How do you sell it in the water?
As soon as Li Lang was put out, several people gathered around to inquire about the price, but without exception, they were all about the water, and no one asked about the pork. After all, the people who visit the Pigeon Market at this time are all low-level people from the capital, and they love to eat this, which is more important. Unfortunately, offal is definitely cheaper than pork.

Unsurprisingly, Li Lang's pork this time is pure fat. In this era of lack of oil and water, you don't need to ask to know that the price will not be cheap. It was the first time Li Lang went to the Pigeon Market last time, and the pork sold at a loss Quite a lot.

Of course, this is compared to others. For Li Lang, selling one piece is earning one piece. After all, the animals in the Void Farm don't need to eat anything, excrete, or exercise. They are basically crowded there one by one. The amount of meat refreshed in a month, Li Lang can't eat it all his life. There are almost [-] chickens, ducks and goose eggs in the warehouse. If the warehouse space is not as big as the house on the surface, Li Lang has no place to put these things.

"I don't have a scale, and the water is not sold loosely. If I want to buy it, I bought the whole backpack. I haven't weighed how much water there is, but this backpack should hold about 25 catties. [-] yuan for the water belt and the backpack are all It's yours..."

"Who will eat so much this time, can't they be sold separately?"

"Then go and find me a scale, and I'll sell you loose if you find a scale, one yuan for one catty..."

"It's no problem to find a scale, but isn't it a little expensive for a catty? You said before that it's 40 for 25 catties, and it's more than 6 cents per catty."

"Even if I sell it for one pound per catty, isn't it the normal price in the pigeon market? It can even be said to be cheap. It's less than seventy cents per catty, and you guys are making a lot of money."

"Besides, you find a scale. I don't need to weigh things one by one. Doesn't it take a lot of effort to weigh things? You want to buy a satisfactory amount, but also want to buy cheap goods. How can there be such a good thing? If you want to buy cheap ones, you A few of them bought this together, and then you will share it slowly, so it’s okay, you bought cheap water, and I saved trouble.”

Li Lang said impatiently, the seller's market is so cool, customers are gods, and the seller is the father. When Li Lang bought things for Wang Jingru, his sales attitude was worse than that of Li Lang now.

"You're right, let us discuss it..."

Li Lang listened to them discussing there, but his eyes were looking around to see if there was anything he needed.

"Little brother, we want your launch, here is 25 yuan." Several people present took out their money and pooled 25 for Li Lang. They hurriedly took these offals away.

After a while, Li Lang looked at the pork in front of him and fell into deep thought, "I didn't raise the price of pork. Last time I sold it at a loss. I didn't raise the price this time. It was just for charity. Why is there no one?" Come buy..."

I don't know if it's Li Lang's bad luck or the people in this pigeon market are relatively poor. Li Lang waited for a long time before two people came to ask the price of pork, and each of them bought a catty.What Li Lang didn't know was that he had indeed come to the wrong place. Although this place looked very prosperous, it was empty inside. There were more people selling things than buying things, especially most of the things sold were calligraphy, paintings and antiques. Yes, most of them are selling antiques, is it true? Antiques are not worth much these days.

It can be said that nine out of ten people who come here to sell antiques are all at the end of their homes and will soon be unable to open the pot.

At this time, the status of those who sell antiques in this era is definitely not much better. To say the least, they are also rich peasants. With this kind of background, it is even more difficult to find a job than a rural household registration. No.

It has been 55 years since the public-private partnership started in 66. For ten years, many people are living on their laurels. They only have antiques in their hands, but the prices of antiques have been getting lower and lower until ten years later. I don't know how many of these people can last until then, and they still have antiques in their hands.

In another year or two, when the storm is fierce, there will be many lucky and courageous people from time to time, who can exchange a catty of rice for antiques in the 30s that could sell for hundreds of millions.

The price of antiques is still high compared to the lowest price, so Li Lang doesn't plan to buy antiques now. As for harvesting early and protecting more cultural relics, how much can Li Lang protect?

What's more, the chances of real good things appearing here are not high at present. When the storm is raging, the gang of deep-rooted big families can't hold it anymore, and the real good things will flow out. Since we can't keep all of them, then Only important insurance can be selected.

If a large amount of antiques are collected indiscriminately, Li Lang will have to sell a large amount of materials. If a large number of materials of unknown origin appear in the market, someone will definitely check them. The more Li Lang collects, the more lies will be exposed. Li Lang himself said Maybe I have to join in, no one thinks that people who can defeat so many first-rank and second-rank officials are all trash, right?
Li Lang will definitely protect cultural relics and antiques, but protecting them requires brains and a better way. Li Lang cannot be involved, otherwise nothing will be preserved.

When things are broken, they are broken in large quantities. The evidence of destruction is the residue of porcelain and the ashes left after the calligraphy and painting are burned. Li Lang can completely use space to steal the sky and change the sun with one hand, and the operation is comparable to collecting cultural relics. , There are many things to protect.

Looking at the remaining pork in front of him, Li Lang didn't plan to sell it anymore, he was going to take it to see what he liked, and barter it. Antiques are currently unacceptable, and he wants to exchange them for those made of precious wood. Chairs and tables are okay.

After wandering around for a long time, Li Lang fell in love with a table. This table was simple in appearance, well-made, and looked very old.

This table is not bad. I just changed the table for eating at home. The table where the tablets are placed is a bit small. When the time comes, put the replaced one with that table, so that I can put a few more pieces when I put the tribute at night.

Li Lang has never forgotten the tablets inside. After all, this is the cause and effect of the original body that Li Lang must bear, and it is also his amulet in the next storm. In order to deal with the next ten years, Li Lang put the tablets Moving from the inner room to the outer room, they must not want to see that the thing they sacrificed their lives to protect is distorted like that.

In dealing with these heroes, Li Lang burns two sticks of incense a day at least, once in the morning and in the evening. Even yesterday, Li Lang went out after burning incense in the morning, and remembered it before doing business at night. At the beginning of the work, if Li Lang was fine at home, as soon as he saw that the incense was burned, Li Lang would replace it with a new one.

In the evening, Li Lang prepared a lot of meals and tributes at home. Of course, during the day and when he was not at home, Li Lang would put away the things on the table, leaving a few steamed buns and some snacks on it.
