Return To 1998

Chapter 44: Observing the Night Market

Okay! Oh, but the rent can't be cheaper! Because I rented every room in this yard at this price, the room you want is bigger, because it's the closest to the toilet, so I didn't raise the price. Now, boy! It's only 80 yuan a month. If you can rent it, you can rent it. I can't help it. Haha, otherwise I will rent it to you at a cheap price, and other tenants will ask me to lower the rent. You Say no?

Although Mr. Li said it with a smile, his attitude was very firm.

Xu Tongdao said a few more words, and when he saw that he couldn't make a bid, he accepted it.

80 is 80!

Looking at the attitude of the old man, it is estimated that even if he wears his lips, he will not pay much in the end.

Okay! Let's rent that room then! Shall we sign the contract now?

Good! Good! Come with me...

...

After the house was rented, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin began to work together to clean up the room and lay the bedding. In fact, they didn't have much to pack.

They didn't bring much luggage.

When Xu Tongdao was making the bed and stacking the quilt, Xu Tonglin was sweeping the floor. While sweeping the floor, Xu Tonglin asked, Xiaodao, what shall we do next?

Go to a waste collector and see if you can buy a second-hand tricycle.

Oh, do you know where there is a waste collection?

Look for it!

...

As a result, after the two of them tidied up the room, they went out to search for a whole morning. They found three waste collectors one after another, and only then did they find a second-hand tricycle that was barely usable.

That's all, it cost twenty bucks.

The tires on the front tires were probably broken and out of air, and the patterns on the tires were almost invisible. Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushed the broken car and went to the bicycle repairer to replace the inner and outer tires of this wheel. In addition, the car is equipped with a chain lock.

By the time everything was done and the car could finally be ridden, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

The two were already growling with hunger.

Riding this broken tricycle, when passing a noodle restaurant, Xu Tongdao took Xu Tonglin in and ordered two bowls of green vegetable noodles.

Xiaodao, did we spend more than two hundred? Is there enough money on you?

While waiting for the noodles to be served, Xu Tonglin asked in a low voice.

It's okay! I know what I know. Xu Tongdao smiled and reassured him.

That's good! Then what are we going to do when we're full?

Go buy condiments first!

Xiaodao! Before you came, your mother asked you to find your cousin and sister as soon as possible. When are you going to find them? Where did your mother say they work? Is it the Red Star Hotel?

Before they set off in the morning, Tongdao Xu's mother, Ge Xiaozhu, had indeed warned them again and again.

Maybe in Ge Xiaozhu's opinion, they are only 17 years old after all, and they are both half-year-old children. It is the first time to come to the county to find a way out.

Hearing this question, Xu Tongdao shook his head slightly, No hurry! Let's break through first, it really won't work, let's go to them later!

He said so, but in his heart he never thought of going to his cousin or cousin.

After eating the noodles, Xu Tongdao was still riding a bicycle, Xu Tonglin sat in the back compartment and rushed to the nearby vegetable market.

After riding for a while, Xu Tonglin suddenly thought of a question, Hey, by the way, when will you ride this kind of tricycle? I don't even know how to ride it. I heard that this thing is not easy to ride!

Tong Xu smiled, It's a good ride!

Really? Then come down and let me ride?

Let's go buy the condiments first, and try again next time!

Oh fine!

After a moment of silence, Xu Tonglin couldn't help but ask again, Is it really good to ride?

Tongdao Xu held back a smile and nodded.

At the vegetable market,

After locking the car, the two went to buy various condiments, as well as bamboo sticks and charcoal for skewering mutton.

In addition, in order to save living expenses in the future, Tongdao Xu picked out some pots and pans, coal stoves and other items.

This time I bought it, and another hundred and dozens of dollars were paid out from Xu Tongdao.

After the money was paid, Xu Tongdao had no more money.

Only two hundred dollars left.

They didn't buy mutton today, they just bought two bottles of hot sauce and a handful of dry noodles to cook for dinner at night.

The reason why I didn't buy mutton was because Tongdao Xu didn't plan to set up a stall to sell skewers on the first day of his visit to the county.

As a result, the time is too late, there is not enough time to process the ingredients, and there is no time to skewer the skewers with bamboo skewers.

Second, although he knew before his rebirth that there were a lot of late-night snack sellers, he had never been to this area before and after 1998, and he didn't know the specific situation of the night market in this area, so before he came to the county seat today , I've thought about it for a long time - first find out the situation of the night market here.

...

Night fell on schedule.

Xu Tongdao, who had already filled his stomach with noodles, took the curious Xu Tonglin out of the small courtyard of the rental house and continued to walk along the alley until they came to the road by the river.

At this time, the street that was still very deserted in the morning has become very different.

Almost all the shops on the roadside are open, barber shops, dance halls, game halls, restaurants, mahjong parlors...

Unlike elsewhere, many of the storefronts on this street are lit red.

There are more cars on the street than in the morning, and there are more than ten times more pedestrians.

At first glance, it was ten times more lively than when Xu Tongdao and the others came here in the morning.

It's so lively! Is this street dedicated to evening business? When we come back from shopping in the afternoon, it's pretty deserted here, right?

Xu Tonglin sighed in a low voice while looking at the scene on the street.

Xu Tongdao hummed, but his attention was not on Xu Tonglin. His eyes were attracted by the small stalls on both sides of the street.

At a glance, he roughly estimated that there were at least twenty or thirty stalls.

Some sell fried rice and noodles; some sell steamed buns and steamed buns; and there are dozens of gadgets on the ground, charging customers to throw small circles to trap those gadgets...

and many more.

Food and play are all such small businesses.

Tongdao Xu also saw three stalls selling barbecue.

In one of the booths, a middle-aged couple was doing it. The man was a big fat man. The fat man was wearing a white vest and had blue tattoos on his arms. The other booth was a bald man. Doing; the third booth...is a thin long-haired man doing it. At this long-haired man's booth, there is also a young girl with white skin and a face with melon seeds serving dishes and collecting money from customers.

Tongdao Xu stood under the sycamore tree by the roadside, squinting and watching quietly.

Not long after, Xu Tonglin also followed his gaze.

When Xu Tonglin saw who the owners of the three stalls were, Xu Tonglin was a little scared and said in a low voice, Xiaodao, are we really going to set up a stall here? Those three people... they don't look like each other. Good people! We are here to grab business with them, they won't smash our stall, will they?
