At noon, Wang Lanling was sleeping when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Maybe it's next door, Wang Lanling continued to sleep after thinking like this.

It didn't take long for a cold and rough palm to touch Wang Lanling's ear.

Wang Lanling slept soundly, and shouted directly after hearing it: "Don't bother me!" Sleep too! ”

After shouting, Wang Lanling realized what kind of place this was.

He sat up quickly, and saw a man of about thirty years old with a mustache standing beside his bed.

His real age is twenty years old, and he looks old.

Wang Lanfeng looked at his younger brother, frowned and said, "Ha oh, do you drink the material?" "What did you just say? 】

"It's nothing, I'm dazed." Wang Lanling came out of his brother and sister-in-law's bed, looked at the place of the house and said, "I'll go back to sleep." ”

Wang Lanfeng grabbed Wang Lanling's neck with one hand, pressed the young man on the bed, and spoke to him in the local dialect that Wang Lanling could understand.

"What did you just say?"

Wang Lanfeng asked very seriously, the eldest brother is like a father, this person has always been very serious, and he never joked with Wang Lanling, so he seemed a little distant, but he did take care of Wang Lanling very much.

Hearing Wang Lanfeng's question, Wang Lanling explained: "I heard a few words when I listened to the drama before, if you don't want to listen to me, I won't say it, hamo~ Ha people's hometown dialect Hala~"

Wang Lanfeng said seriously: "Today, a new official went to our place to check, he couldn't understand what we said, and he couldn't read, which was difficult to do." ”

Wang Lanling said indifferently: "Your mayor will definitely find a way, no matter how much it goes down, it won't fall on your head, and you are not in charge of this." ”

Because Wang Lanfeng did not object to him speaking Mandarin, Wang Lanling was still used to speaking Mandarin, and he was really uncomfortable with the native dialect that needed to be sung here.

It's like the kind of singing in the new white lady, but the uncomfortable thing is that the people here don't know the words clearly, and they have their own way of reading.

Wang Lanfeng, who grew up in the county, because he often spoke to the locals in the countryside, now his accent is infected, and he can't understand it if he is not close to him.

Wang Lanfeng said: "What he said is the same as what you just said, it is very short, our mayor said that this is official language, and those who are officials must learn it." ”

After Wang Lanling heard it, he looked at Wang Lanfeng and said, "Do you want to learn?" I'll teach you! ”

Hearing this young brother say this, Wang Lanfeng felt that it was not a big deal.

"No, what about your sister-in-law?"

Wang Lanling put on his slippers and walked to the new bicycle in the room to watch.

"I went out to buy vegetables, and said that I was buying meat and noodles to eat at noon."

Wang Lanling explained casually, looking at this black bicycle with a horizontal bar, this thing is Wang Lanfeng's baby!

Wang Lanfeng began to look for a basin of water and a rag to wipe the car, and said with a smile after hearing it: "If you encounter something good, you want to eat meat." ”

This black bicycle is Wang Lanfeng's most valuable thing, and it is also the most precious thing.

I usually ride a bicycle to and from work, scrub three times a day, and maintain it regularly, which is faster than washing myself.

Bicycles, sewing machines, and gas stoves are the three major items of this era, including travel, clothing, and food.

Gas stoves are only available at the state and capital levels, and only in those places will there be gas divisions in charge of engineers.

Bicycles and sewing machines are common, but they are also rare, and many machines are still all handmade in this era, and the output is very low.

Wang Lanling didn't have any idea about this bicycle, knowing that Wang Lanfeng was very valuable.

"It's nothing, bet with me and keep your promise if you lose."

Wang Lanfeng doesn't care about this kind of thing, he spends some money, and he doesn't care so much.

"Tomorrow our father and the brothers in the castle will get together, the new county lord the day after tomorrow will gather the county people for dinner, tomorrow at noon, our grandfather will choose a few people to follow, you don't run around tomorrow."

Today, Wang Lanfeng came back so early for this matter.

Wang Lanling didn't pay attention to the affairs of the county master, and he was also idle in the house, so he said: "I'll go out for a walk and come back when I eat." ”

"Come back early, let your sister-in-law teach you in the afternoon, don't know how to play all day."

Wang Lanfeng squatted on the ground and wiped the wheels, while telling Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling went back to put on his shoes and said lazily: "Got it." ”

After returning to his bedside and changing clothes, Wang Lanling walked out of the house.

The hallway was very quiet, and the light that shone obliquely from the walls and the hole above made the quiet hallway seem quiet.

Wang Lanling thought about it carefully, this world also has adult entertainment that belongs to this world.

In addition to playing football, there are also cockfights, playing cards, shopping (you have to ride a bicycle to call shopping), watching gladiatorial games, drinking and going to the alley of Qinglouxia......

Wang Lanling had nothing to do, so he went to the innermost room on the second floor of the south.

At the door of the room, there was an old man sitting on a rattan chair smoking a dry cigarette, the old man was holding a cigarette pouch and a cigarette gun in one hand, squinting and exhaling comfortably.

This person is the brother of Uncle Wang Lanling, and he belongs to the same mother's line as Changfang, but only one person in the Changfang family can inherit the position of the head of the family.

Compared with Wang Lanling's father, this person has a higher status in the family.

Gold, platinum, silver, mercury, copper, hydrogen, lead, tin, iron, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, Wang Lanling's father is Wang Xuelead, and this old man is Wang Xuebo!

Wang Lanling said in the words here: "Alas, take Boyo~"

Wang Xuebo squinted and glanced at it, and when he saw that it was Wang Lanling, he said, "Go in." ”

With permission, Wang Lanling pushed open the door and walked in.

The rooms here are really well insulated.

After lifting the heavy curtain and entering the room, Wang Lanling felt a burst of heat.

"Belt! Bring! Bring! ”

"How! Howl! Howl! ”

This is a smoky casino, which is opened by Wang Xuebo in his old mansion and specializes in pit his own posterity.

But there is also a sense of proportion, and it will not play too much, and whatever happens will be dealt with by your own family.

Wang Lanling often loses money here, the amount is not large, mostly because the rest of the people want to come here to play, so they have to follow along.

A few days after the end of the year, there are fewer relatives in the past two days, and there are still a few days before the spring to work and farm and go to school, so it is much more lively than usual.

Looking at the men who were wearing cotton jackets, fur hats, and hands shrunk in thick sleeves, Wang Lanling stepped aside, not to contact these gamblers.

He was a junior, and those tables were either elders and uncles in the fort, or all sorts of messy helpers, and it was not a good thing to be remembered.

It's not good to win or lose, and after winning, you're worried.

There are not only men but also women here.

Married women are different, plus they are all family members here, sometimes they don't have so many scruples, and it's normal to laugh and scold.

Those who smoke, those who go to the table with men, those who squint at the cards, and those who hold their children and watch other people's cards gamble.

Basically, these are middle-income entertainment venues in the bunker, and those cores such as the long house don't take them to play, and they won't come here.

They also play cards, gamble cards, smoke and play mahjong.

Although it is more regular, there are more wins and losses.

Wang Lanling walked to the place on the edge of the wall, where there was a man who was frying melon seeds, about forty or fifty years old, who was the cook in the fort.

"Melon seeds for a dime, sweet."

Wang Lanling bought a dime of melon seeds, and he could buy about two catties.

Melon seeds are authentic sunflower seeds, but there are also pumpkin seeds and hanging melon seeds.

Yunzhou is a mountainous region, located in the northern mountains of the Great Yan Empire, which is far from the sea, so salted melon seeds are the most expensive.

Melon seeds have the lowest price because there are many sugar beets and sugar cane in the mountains.

Plain sunflower seeds are also cheap, but they are not popular here.

People here like to eat salty, cook rice porridge without sugar, add pickles.

Although Yunzhou's geographical location is now more inland due to the expansion of the empire, its status has not risen, and it is a place that can be easily forgotten.

Before the revival emperor of the empire, Emperor Yanwu, ascended the throne, he was building roads everywhere to open up passes.

Yunzhou has two major roads to the outside world, one is the road from the state city to the northern hub, and then to the imperial capital.

The sea lies further north in the northern hub of the port city, a rectangular water port sunk deep into an inland plate.

The other was the road to the eastern steppes, which had been occupied fifty years ago and was used only as a military road, as the climate was unsuitable for farming.

Yunzhou mainly produces soybeans, corn, sugar beets, sugar cane, watermelons, and metal ores.

The meat is provided by the pioneer special zone of the East [Makishu], and a small part is self-produced.

Salt and fish are provided by the northern [Shanzhou], salt all rely on Shanzhou, although there are many fish, but the competition is not large and low-priced salted fish.

There is a household registration system here, and unless you are a merchant with a legal certificate issued by the state, or a traveler with a letter of introduction from a road seal, you are not allowed to go out of the county at will.

Wang Lanling ate melon seeds, recalling the memories of this Great Yan Dynasty, thinking about what to do in the future.

At this time, a black hand touched Wang Lanling's melon seed basin, and directly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the pocket of the trendy clothes that were patched and combined with urea sacks.

"Brother Ling, why don't you play cards?" The young man with a rough smile on his face knocked the melon seeds into the teeth of the triangular crack, and talked to Wang Lanling on his own.

Wang Lanling looked at this somewhat dark young man, the other party's actual age was just fifteen, but he was old and mature, and he was dressed very sloppily, looking like a bastard of thirty-seven or eighteen years old.

His name is Wang Ni, the son of Wang Lanling's fourth uncle and concubine, who was kicked out of primary school only to the third grade, and is currently picking up garbage in the fort.

Wang Lanling thought of what happened to the other party, so he couldn't help but sigh, grabbed another handful of melon seeds from the basin and put them on the table in front of the other party.

"I'll give it to you." Wang Lanling grabbed three handfuls of melon seeds and gave them to him, "I still have to share the rest with my brother and sister-in-law, and I can't do more." ”

Wang Lanling was in a very bad mood and was a little sad.

Not every family member will get a share of property, such as Wang Ni, who has no identity and no ability, is basically driven out to fend for himself.

Wang Lanling thought of himself, although he could go to school and mix better, he always felt very uncomfortable, and some systems in this world were very unfriendly.

Wang Ni looked at the handful of melon seeds in front of him, which was more than others usually bought alone.

Basically, everyone is chasing beggars to let him go, like Wang Lanling, it's the first time.

Wang Ni quickly said: "Brother Ling, why are you unhappy? What happened? ”

Wang Lanling sighed and said, "It's nothing, come, eat melon seeds." ”

Wang Ni ate melon seeds, and didn't know what to say to Wang Lanling, so he said: "Brother Ling, don't you play cards?" ”

"Don't play, let's keep this money and eat melon seeds." Wang Lanling spit out a mouthful of melon seed skin, "If I lose the bet, others will laugh and scold me for being stupid, I bought two catties of melon seeds, and I can still sit here and talk to you and fill my stomach, how good." ”

Wang Ni said: "If I have money, I will definitely play cards, and I won't buy melon seeds to eat." ”

Wang Lanling sighed with his nose again, mainly because of the smell and bad breath on this Wang Ni's body.

"Then I'll give you all the melon seeds, don't gamble, and find a job."

Wang Lanling gradually couldn't stand the smell of this casino, bought a dime of melon seeds, and quickly walked out of here.
