Chapter 14 Local tyrants
The two of them walked towards the city, Chen Erlin saw the word "stability" on the city head when he entered the city gate, and couldn't help but smile, this name is really good, Anding County, I just don't know if it is really stable and stable here during the Anti-Japanese War.
Walking on the stone-paved avenue, there are all kinds of cries around you from time to time, and the street is also full of traffic, it seems that this small county is also doing well, at least the people here seem to be rich. Li Jun said as he walked: "Second brother, don't look at the area of Anding County, which is not large, but there are three rivers flowing here, and there is still a railway station in the south of the county. ”
The two of them talked and laughed for more than 30 minutes along the way, and Li Juncai said: "I see the square in front, that is the liberation square in the county seat, and there is a department store opposite the square. Chen Er looked at the time, it was already more than ten o'clock, anyway, he was out on vacation, just relaxed, nodded and said: "I'm not familiar with this place, you kid lead the way, I'll be responsible for the treat." ”
Li Jun led Chen Er into a small restaurant, ordered three dishes at random, and said while the chef was stir-frying: "Second brother, to tell you the truth, don't look at the big place, but this is a well-known time-honored brand in Anding County, usually I have been with my parents a few times, and each time I order a few of the signature dishes here, you can taste it for a while, it will definitely not disappoint you, and the price here is quite fair, if we don't come early now, we will have to queue up here for lunch." ”
Chen Er glanced at the menu, it was really not expensive, the average per dish was less than one dollar, and the two of them ordered three in total, which was just over three yuan. The prices in the 50s were cheap, and if you put it in the 21st century, you would be embarrassed to invite someone to a restaurant with 200 yuan on your shoulder, and if you can't pay the bill, it will definitely be an embarrassment in embarrassment.
In less than five minutes, three steaming dishes were served, Chen Er felt that he was going to drool, there was basically no oil and water in the arsenal for three months, and this finally smelled the aroma of meat, and the two of them picked up the rice bowl and began to sweep. It didn't take long for the three plates to bottom out, Li Jun wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "Comfortable, I'm really full this time, how about it, second brother, I didn't fool you." ”
Chen Er burped and said, "The taste is really good, it seems that your kid has been hungry for a long time." He took out three yuan and put it on the table, and pulled Li Jun to walk out, and the guy in the store hurriedly chased him out and said, "Sir, I haven't looked for your money yet." ”
Li Jun smiled and said: "Don't look for it, the rest is a tip for you", anyway, Chen Er invited a treat, Li Jun naturally seemed very generous, who made Chen Er richer than him now. Chen Er also waved his hand, meaning not to give change, and suddenly felt that this was the so-called local tyrant, the local tyrant with 200 yuan, is it a real "local tyrant", or a real "local" tyrant, or this era is good.
Chen Er suddenly thought of the word "rich and handsome", can he be regarded as rich and handsome now, it should be about the same, the two of them slipped around on the Liberation Square and went straight to the department store. At this time, the department store is really complete, Chen Er was a little stunned as soon as he entered, this is completely different from the shopping mall in the 21st century, the whole is a big world of stalls.
There are no decent stalls on the entire floor, everyone basically has a fixed area for each person, and the things placed in it are all varied, unlike modern shopping malls that classify different goods in layers, which looks like a mess.
Li Jun seemed to enjoy such a scene, and said excitedly: "Second brother, I haven't visited the department store for a long time, I have to go shopping, you are free, it's eleven o'clock, gather at the door of the department store at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I'll take you to my house." After saying that, he turned around and disappeared.
Chen Er could only smile helplessly, this kid is still a shopping maniac, but think about it, in this era, one has no computer, and the other has no mobile phone, and the way to have fun is to go to shopping malls, yo-yo parks and the like. Looking at the dazzling array of goods in front of him, Chen Er also began to turn around, looking at his outfit, Chen Er felt the need to add some new clothes.
After looking at a few in a row, Chen Er also bought four or five pieces, and they all said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and as soon as they put on the new clothes, they immediately looked a lot more energetic. The stall owner who sold clothes kept praising Chen Er while also smiling from ear to ear, when he saw that this was a young master from a rich family, he didn't negotiate the price at all when he bought things, just with the clothes sold to him, he could go to buy catties of pork to eat at night.
After paying, Chen Er left the department store, but when he left, he looked at the stall owner's eyes, as if he was about to make a promise, and Chen Er couldn't help but get goosebumps. It seems that he was a little generous just now, and he should have known that he should have bargained, maybe now the stall owner is laughing at himself as a "turtle", and this local tyrant is not very easy to be.
I looked at my watch, it was less than a little, I couldn't bask in the sun for more than an hour, I looked left and right, and suddenly there were some stalls selling antique jade in Liberation Square. Chen Erke knows that there is basically no means of counterfeiting in this era, and most of the antiques have some collection value, anyway, he has to go to Li Jun's house as a guest, as a junior, it is always inappropriate to go empty-handed.
Chen Er thought about it hard, it was not appropriate to buy an antique large bottle or something, this thing was fragile, and the average working class would not go out of their way to provide a large bottle at home. His eyes swept over a few stalls, and suddenly there were some jade pendants on a stall, Chen Er's eyes were immediately attracted to the past, jade is not fragile and can be carried around, this is definitely a good thing to give to the elders.
Ming Dynasty medical scientist Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "The Xuanzhen is also another name for jade." Obeying it makes people fly lightly, so it is said: Serve Xuanzhen, and its life is not extreme. Again: "Jade shavings are made of jade." The smell is Ganping and non-toxic. The main treatment is to remove stomach heat, wheezing and annoyance, quench thirst, crumbs such as hemp beans, and take light for many years for a long time. It can moisten the heart and lungs, help the voice and throat, and nourish hair. Nourish the five organs, stop irritability, and it is advisable to take a total of gold and silver, wheat and winter and other decoctions, which are beneficial. This shows that jade has been used as medicine since ancient times, and it has an excellent effect on healing diseases and health care.
According to modern scientific analysis, many jade stones are rich in trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, such as chromium, iron, etc., if jade jewelry is often worn and used, these beneficial elements can be infiltrated through the skin and enter the human body, so as to balance the coordination of yin and yang, qi and blood, and promote good health.
After making up his mind to send a jade pendant, Chen Er began to stop in front of the stall and observe, this time he didn't want to be a big tyrant again, this antique is different from eating and drinking, maybe someone is selling family heirlooms or objects in the palace once, and the two hundred yuan on his body is really not enough. However, Chen Er is not stupid, at this time, people are obviously not as firm as modern antiques, even if they are a second knife, they can be regarded as half an expert when they get this period, they picked up a few jade pendants at random and looked at them, Chen Er also nodded with satisfaction.
Don't look at these stalls, they sell really some real things, and after asking about the price, Chen Er was a little stunned, the cheapest ones cost forty or fifty yuan, and this Nima is too dark. The salary of ordinary workers is only twenty or thirty yuan a month, and they can only buy such a jade pendant for two months without eating or drinking, it seems that this is really prepared for local tyrants.
Just when Chen Er was about to give up, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind him, saying: "This little brother is going to buy jade pendants, I have a few of them, you might as well come over and take a look, because the people in the family are sick and urgently need money to sell them, and the price is negotiable." ”
The old man looked to be in his seventies, although he was dressed in tatters, but a pair of deep eyes told Chen Er that this was an old man with a story, and it was a scar that swept to the old man's arm, Chen Er was even more sure, because it was a gunshot wound, and it could be seen that it was an old injury from decades ago. So Chen Er asked respectfully, "Old man, you used to be a soldier." ”
The old man seemed to recall the past, took a puff of dry cigarette and said: "It was all decades ago, I worked in the foreign gun team in the late Qing Dynasty for a few years, and these jade pendants were also awarded to me for meritorious service at that time, and they have been preserved to this day, if it weren't for my grandson's illness, I would be ready to take it to the coffin." ”
Chen Er picked up a piece casually and looked at it, it was indeed a good thing, the old man looked at Chen Er carefully, and said: "Young man, this must be a real thing, I don't want to ask for a price, you just give me ten yuan, these three jade pendants will be given to you, as long as it can save my grandson's life, don't want these things outside the body, my old man can be regarded as unbroken." ”
Chen Er was stunned, these three pieces of jade are better than what I saw just now, and the value will definitely not be so low, it seems that the old man is afraid that he doesn't want it. Come to think of it, such an old man sells jade pendants here, and ten percent of people will not believe that this is a good thing. Chen Er thought for a while and said: "Old man, I just said that you had fought with foreigners and defended our country, I wanted these jade pendants, and after speaking, I took out thirty yuan and stuffed it in the old man's hand." ”
The old man hurriedly said, "Young man, you give too much, I only need ten yuan." Chen Er stopped: "Old man, I know that you are in a hurry to use money, in fact, according to the texture of these three jade pendants, I have taken a big advantage, so you can accept it." Under Chen Er's repeated persuasion, the old man accepted the money, and left on crutches, looking at the three jade pendants in his hand, Chen Er smiled with satisfaction, today this is a double win, not only helping others, but also picking up a big leak.
I touched the money in my pocket again, anyway, I am alone, for money, Chen Er is really not worried about it now, anyway, the arsenal is in charge of food and housing, and I am not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law, and there is nothing distressing when the money is gone. Isn't there such a saying, money is a bastard, I will continue to earn after spending it.
