Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

Chapter 9: Talking with Yu Shui, He Lin's First Visit to Pigeon City

After dinner, He Lin chatted with Yu Shui. He said that his sister was a good student. If she didn't have to worry about foreign affairs in the future and worked hard, she should be able to get into a good university. However, with Yu Shui's academic progress, the wind happened to blow before she graduated from university.

He Lin plans to let Yu Shui skip a grade and go to the third year of high school next year so that he can save time for going to college. Even if Yu Shui can't keep up with the studies, with him, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, giving him one-on-one tutoring, why would he be afraid that he won't be able to learn?

You have to know that in that era in later generations, those who could get the top score in the college entrance examination were all people with strong learning abilities. He Lin still has full confidence in this.

He Yushui did not comment on her brother's arrangement, but after He Lin casually demonstrated his knowledge reserves, she was impressed by her brother's learning ability. She willingly began to self-study the knowledge of the last two years of high school according to He Lin's arrangement, and whenever she encountered any problems she did not understand, she could ask He Lin for timely answers.

After a night of study and communication, Yu Shui completely became He Lin's little fan girl. If He Lin hadn't urged her to go back to bed, Yu Shui would not have wanted to miss such an opportunity to ask the teacher for advice.

He Lin lay on the bed, thinking about the people and things that happened today. He had to survive well in this era and take good care of the people around him. Since he was given this big bug in the system, he had to make good use of his resources.

He Lin opened the space. Apart from the spiritual spring bubbling with water, the rest of the land was empty. He Lin was a little thirsty, so he drank a glass of spiritual spring water. It tasted sweet, and his entire body was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

In addition to meeting the needs of normal body functions, this spiritual spring water can also enhance human potential, improve intelligence, and even prolong life if consumed for a long time. The voice of the little assistant came in He Lin's mind.

After hearing this, He Lin drank two large cups of spiritual spring water and stopped only when he could not drink any more.

The assistant couldn't help but complain:

"You look like a loser. This system space is extremely powerful, and this spiritual spring water is just one of its functions. The land around the spiritual spring can increase the time for raising animals and growing crops from one day to one year. In other words, crops or animals that take a year to mature can mature in one day in the system space. In addition, it also has self-harvesting, automatic slaughter, and automatic storage functions. As for the items stored in the space, it can be guaranteed to stand still in time, and they will not rot, become invalid, or expire. Whatever you put in will remain the same when you take it out."

He Lin asked the assistant about what he didn't understand about the space. In simple terms, this is an awesome electronic development system, which can bring electronic data into reality. In this era of material scarcity and hunger, it can be said to be Shen Wansan's treasure pot. Moreover, all products of the system come with a reasonable source, so there is no need to worry about the source.

Thinking of the awesomeness of his space system, He Lin's sword was already thirsty for food, and he was ready to go to the Pigeon City in the second half of the night to look for seedlings and seeds.

Around the second half of the night, He Lin quietly closed the door of the room, glanced at the situation in the courtyard, and after making sure that there was no one there, he walked to a wall of the courtyard.

He Lin grabbed onto two bulges on the wall and jumped out of the courtyard. In his previous life, He Lin had been in the army for a long time. Although he was not a special forces soldier, he had received systematic military training.

Climbing over the old wall of the courtyard house is naturally a piece of cake. With the added effect of the Rebirth Pill, He Lin now estimates that if he runs a little distance, he can directly climb over the wall.

He Lin walked towards the Pigeon City according to the memories of his original body. The Pigeon City is also known as the black market or ghost market.

People in Beijing have a long history of raising pigeons. First, the bannermen raised birds and trained hawks, and then ordinary people followed suit, but they did not have the money to buy the precious birds.

Later I found that pigeons are very human-like and easy to train, so I gradually raised them.

If someone raises pigeons, someone will sell them, and it will develop into the so-called pigeon market.

In the past, the pigeon market opened in the early morning and almost closed at 10 o'clock. After the implementation of the planned economy, unified purchase and sales, such markets were all cancelled.

The pigeon market has moved underground, usually starting at two or three in the morning and ending at four or five.

There are small lights or candles on the stalls on both sides of the Pigeon Market, which look like ghost lights from a distance, so it is also called the Ghost Market!

In fact, it can be a black market or a ghost market, where ordinary people conduct private transactions.

Before arriving at the Pigeon Market, He Lin took out a sack from the space so that he could store the things he bought later. He couldn't just throw the things into the space on the spot as if he were performing magic.

There is a gatekeeper at the entrance of the Pigeon Market who collects a 1-cent entrance fee, which is a management fee or protection fee. If you want to find a place to sell things, you have to pay an additional 1-cent venue fee.

He Lin paid ten cents and entered the market to walk around. It was his first time here and he wanted to get to know the situation first and make preparations for his future plans.

He Lin paid special attention to those selling agricultural products. Soon he found a stall selling vegetable seedlings and chicks. He bought all kinds of vegetable seedlings and seeds that the seller had, spending a total of 1 yuan.

As for the chicks, the seller had about 10 in total and asked for a total of 6 yuan. In this era, the price of an old hen was about 2 yuan, and a rooster was about 1 yuan.

The seller asked for 6 yuan, and He Lin did not bargain. He just asked the seller to give him a cage as a gift to keep the chicks, and the seller readily agreed.

He Lin couldn't see the seller's face clearly. People who came to Pigeon City at this time, whether they were sellers or buyers, all took off their hats and covered their faces with scarves, trying to be as low-key as possible so as not to let others see their faces clearly. He Lin also dressed like this. After all, Pigeon City was not something that could be discussed openly.

He Lin walked forward again. The market was selling all kinds of goods, including agricultural and sideline products, second-hand household items, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

The best business and the largest trading volume in this market are still agricultural and sideline products. The ones that are not doing well are naturally antiques, calligraphy and paintings. After all, if you are hungry, no one will care whether something is an antique or not.

There is also a special stall in the market that sells tickets. The ticket sellers have all kinds of tickets, such as grain tickets, wine tickets, non-staple food tickets, sugar tickets, and various scarce home appliance tickets.

He Lin walked around the market again and bought some rice and wheat with bran. These are staple foods. Without them, no matter how many dishes you have, they will not be enough.

Before leaving, He Lin came to a ticket seller and asked: "Do you have cloth tickets? How much is it?"

The ticket scalper saw that He Lin was carrying a lot of things and knew that he was a buyer.

"The cloth coupons are 8 cents per foot. How many do you want?"

He Lin thought about it and asked for 10 feet, which cost a total of 8 yuan. He planned to make a piece of clothing for himself and Yu Shui respectively, so this should be enough.

Seeing that the buyer readily gave 8 yuan, Xiao Liuzi deftly counted out 5 feet of cloth coupons from his clothes pocket and handed them to He Lin.

"My name is Liuzi. You don't come to this Pigeon City often, do you? I look unfamiliar. Although I have tried to hide my identity, no one in this Pigeon City can hide it from me, Liuzi."

He Lin stared at Xiao Liuzi warily, considering the other party's intentions.

"Don't get me wrong, sir. I make a living in the pigeon market every day, so I'm naturally a bit savvy. I mean, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. Whether you want to buy or sell something, or just find something rare, I can help. I can also earn some errand fees."
