Uncle Wang looked at Zhang Cheng: "Hou Sheng, I also read these books, it seems that your knowledge is somewhat profound." ”

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Where, where, my house is rich in books, and I just read a few more books in my spare time." ”

Uncle Wang's expression changed: "The next generation is still born in a scholarly family, not bad, not bad." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The old man knows so many things, it seems that he must have done something when he was young." ”

Uncle Wang's expression darkened: "Originally, I was also a talent in the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately the Qing Dynasty is gone, and I am not good at other things, so I also grow fields to support myself." ”

Zhang Cheng arched his hand: "I didn't expect the old man to be born in Xiucai, and the juniors were rude." ”

Uncle Wang: "Okay, okay, don't talk about those who don't have it, the front is my house." Come in with me. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Uncle Wang's home is not big, a typical southern house, and it looks a little old.

Uncle Wang entered the door and said to Zhang Cheng: "The wife of the family has passed away, and the son has also gone to the provincial capital, and now I am alone at home, which seems a little lonely." ”

Zhang Cheng: "It's sad to arouse the old man's heart, I'm sorry." ”

Uncle Wang: "Why are you so constrained in etiquette, you came back from studying in the West, shouldn't you scoff at these etiquette?" ”

Zhang Cheng said secretly in his heart: "It seems that it is too much, should I change my appearance?" Forget it, since this image has been created, don't mess around, so as not to make mistakes. ”

The conversation between Zhang Cheng and Uncle Wang seems simple, but in fact, Uncle Wang has been testing Zhang Cheng's identity.

After all, bringing a stranger home is a risk. This is also human nature.

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Uncle, I am a junior, so I naturally have to bring some courtesy to the elders." ”

Uncle Wang smiled: "There are not many polite juniors like you. Housheng, wait a minute, I'll go make lunch. Drink two drinks with me in a moment. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Thank you for your hospitality, but I don't know how to drink, please don't break the bank." ”

Uncle Wang was a little surprised: "Can't drink?" In the future, do you dislike my family's wine is not as good as your scholarly family's wine? ”

Zhang Cheng: "Where, where." Uncle, I didn't drink alcohol since I was a child. I don't have that preference. ”

Uncle Wang muttered: "Strange thing, you actually don't like to drink, so what do you like?" ”

Uncle Wang: "Okay, don't stand at the door, come in with me." ”

In the lobby, Uncle Wang: "Housheng, you cook here for a while, and I'll make lunch." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Uncle, excuse me." ”

Uncle Wang: "Okay, don't be so restrained, although you are a foreigner, but you are also our scholars, it is not a big deal to entertain you with a meal, sit down." ”

After speaking, Uncle Wang left the lobby. Uncle Wang can already be sure that Zhang Cheng is not a thief who is a traitor, because with the temperament that Zhang Cheng has just shown, in this era, he does not have to worry about finding a stable career.

After Uncle Wang left, Zhang Cheng looked at the furnishings in Uncle Wang's lobby alone.

There is a dining table in the lobby with a few chairs. On the wall hangs a picture of the pine crane extending its life. Other than that, there is no frills. It seems that Uncle Wang is not a rich man.

Zhang Cheng: "The people of this era are really enthusiastic, if it were my era, who would dare to bring a stranger home to entertain them." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, not thinking about the 21st century.

As Zhang Cheng's gaze shifted, he found that the god enshrined by Uncle Wang's family was the local land god, and there were only a few incense sticks in the incense burner, and there was no tribute.

Zhang Cheng: "It seems that I brought a lighter, otherwise I don't know how to repay Uncle Wang's kindness." ”

Zhang Cheng originally planned to pawn the lighter and exchange it for some oceans. Because Zhang Cheng knew that Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang actually didn't have any money, and he exchanged some oceans to make Yizhuang's life better, and on the other hand, to let Uncle Jiu accept himself.

After a while, Uncle Wang walked in: "Housheng, the meal is ready, don't dislike my family's food is too bad." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Of course not, I am already very satisfied that the old man can entertain me like this." ”

The food on the dinner table made Zhang Cheng a little dumbfounded. Originally, Zhang Cheng thought that the rice was also white rice, but the rice in the rice bowl actually had a lot of rice bran, and it was mixed with unknown vegetable leaves.

And the dish is even simpler, two small dishes, a plate of tofu and a plate of cabbage.

Uncle Wang also saw Zhang Cheng's hesitation: "In the future, there are no other good things at home, don't dislike it." ”

Zhang Cheng suddenly understood that this is not the 21st century, there is no hybrid rice, and there is no stable environment. In this day and age, survival is not easy.

At this point, the food is estimated to be Uncle Wang's two-day meal, and meat will not be available until the New Year.

Uncle Wang said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I wanted to go fishing for a fish, but considering that you haven't eaten for so long, so." ”

Zhang Chao: "Uncle, don't be so troublesome, these meals are already very good, I like it very much." ”

After speaking, Zhang Cheng took a bite directly, the rice in the rice bowl, endured the discomfort in his throat, swallowed it, and then said: "Uncle Wang, the rice is very good, I like it very much." ”

Uncle Wang's face was bright: "If you like it, if you like it, come, eat." ”

Zhang Cheng forcibly nodded and began to eat.

This meal made Zhang Cheng understand what a happy era the 21st century is.

After the meal, Zhang Cheng changed into Uncle Wang's clothes, put away his suit, and then came to the town and found a pawn shop.

The owner of the pawn shop wears a certain round hat, a large gold tooth, and two beards in a figure-eight pattern.

Pawn shop owner: "The guest officer doesn't know if he came to ransom or pawn?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Pawn." ”

The pawn shop owner laughed: "Pawn, dead or alive?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Die." ”

The pawn shop owner smiled even more happily: "Guest, I don't know what you want to pawn?" ”

Zhang Cheng took out a lighter: "A lighter from the West can directly produce flames." It's very convenient. ”

Zhang Cheng turned on the lighter, and flames suddenly came out.

When the pawn shop owner saw the lighter, his eyes lit up, he knew that this thing was a good thing, but it was difficult to say the price.

The pawn shop owner laughed: "The thing is a good thing, I don't know what price the guest wants?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Boss, since you know that this is a good thing, the price is naturally not cheap, 50 oceans." ”

The pawn shop owner was stunned: "50 oceans, guest, you are too lion-mouthed." This thing can also be replaced with a fire fold, where it is worth so much. I give a maximum of 10 oceans. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Boss, this is a thing from the West, it can be used in any environment, and the storage time is very long, which is not comparable to the fire fold." 40 oceans are indispensable. ”

After a bit of asking for money between the two, the money was returned. In the end, the lighter was sold to a pawn shop by Zhang Cheng at a price of 30 oceans.

Zhang Cheng, who got out of the pawn shop, quickly returned to Uncle Wang's house. Zhang Cheng doesn't want to be targeted by the bastards of this era, and the current Zhang Cheng is not capable of resisting these bastards.

Zhang Cheng, who returned to Uncle Wang's house, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I wasn't discovered by those bastards, and I'll leave here tomorrow." Otherwise, it would be difficult for me, an outsider, to keep the money. ”

There are too many dark things hidden in this era, Zhang Cheng has read some books of the Republic of China, and he has a little understanding of these things, so Zhang Cheng does not dare to be careless, after all, this is a matter related to Zhang Cheng's life.
