Chapter 1: Journey through the world of Little Women
I don't know how long it has been, but when Yan Jiecheng woke up again, he only felt that it was pitch black in front of him.
So Yan Jiecheng quickly took out his mobile phone from the space, lit the screen and turned on the flashlight, and looked at the surrounding environment with the bright light.
It turned out that I was in a dilapidated room, and the whole room was more than ten square meters, in addition to a wooden bed that was about to fall apart, there was also a dining table, two chairs, and an iron stove.
Seeing this scene, although Yan Jiecheng didn't know what era he had come, the only thing he could be sure of was after liberation, because there was a portrait of a great man hanging above the table.
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng put his mind at ease, fortunately he didn't travel to the era of war and chaos, otherwise with his small body, it is estimated that he will not live for too long and will have to hang up.
After relieving himself, Yan Jiecheng got up from the bed and walked down, opened the door with his mobile phone, and looked out of the door.
Although he didn't know where he was, when he saw this courtyard, Yan Jiecheng guessed that it should still be in the capital.
After all, there are not all kinds of courtyard houses, although there are some in other places, but the architectural style is completely different from the courtyard houses in Beijing.
Since it was still night, it was dark all around, and there was nothing to see, so Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to retreat.
There wasn't even a wall clock in the room, and Yan Jiecheng didn't know the specific time, although there was a watch in the space, it wasn't necessarily accurate after such a long time.
After thinking about it, let's go back to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, so Yan Jiecheng went back to bed, covered with a somewhat moldy quilt and fell asleep.
…………
Early the next morning, before Yan Jiecheng woke up, he was disturbed by the sound outside.
"Solution, solution, get up, I'm a strong son."
Hearing the voice outside, Yan Jiecheng sat up suddenly, thinking to himself that it seems that the name here has not changed in this life.
"Yan Jiecheng, have you gotten up, come out quickly, if you don't come out, I'll leave with nothing."
"Oh, that's it." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly picked up the clothes next to him and put them on.
When Yan Jiecheng got dressed and walked out of the house, he was a little stunned when he saw the person in front of him, isn't this the strong son in the TV series "The Little Woman Under Zhengyang Gate", could it be that he has crossed into this TV series again.
"What are you doing, hurry up, there's nothing waiting outside." Qiangzi looked at himself in a daze when he saw Yan Jiecheng come out, and couldn't help but push Yan Jiecheng with his hand.
"O, O, where are we going?"
"Where are you going, pulling work, or what are you going to eat?" Qiangzi was a little unresponsive when he heard Yan Jiecheng's words.
"Oh, let's go." Saying that, Yan Jiecheng followed Qiangzi out of the courtyard.
As soon as he got out of the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng saw Cai Quanwu sitting on a board waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
"What are you two doing, why did it take so long to come out."
"Ask him, I shouted at the door for a long time, but he just won't come out." Qiangzi said while pointing at Yan Jiecheng.
Hearing Qiangzi's words, Yan Jiecheng could only smile awkwardly: "I'm sorry to die, I slept a little late yesterday."
"Okay, let's go to the alley to drink a bowl of tofu brain first, and then go to work." Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Cai Quanwu waved his hand and let the two get into the car.
Although he didn't know why the three of them were in the same car, Yan Jiecheng didn't ask much, he still understood the truth that if he said more, he still understood the truth, after all, he had just come to this world, and he hadn't figured out anything yet, so it was better to be safe.
The three of them came to the breakfast stall at the mouth of the alley, chatting while eating breakfast.
Through chatting with the two, Yan Jiecheng also had some understanding of his current situation.
His name in this world is still Yan Jiecheng, he is twenty-two years old this year, his hometown and Qiangzi are both Baocheng, and the two came to the capital after liberation.
The only difference with Hadron is that there is no one in his hometown, and he is left with a light commander.
Yan Jiecheng is very satisfied with this identity, although he is alone in the eyes of others
It's pitiful, but it's good for Yan Jiecheng.
This board car was also bought by Qiangzi, and he and Cai Quanwu usually fight against big bags at the grain station, and they will use Hadron's board car to pull work when they are fine.
What do you say about Qiangzi, except for being a little lazy and a little gluttonous, it's okay to treat friends, and the two use Qiangzi
The cart was working, and Qiangzi didn't collect money from the two, but the two would occasionally invite Qiangzi to a tavern for a drink.
And the courtyard house where Yan Jiecheng lives now is also divided by the government after the liberation, unlike before, this courtyard is just a courtyard, and there are four other families living in addition to himself.
After breakfast, the three of them came to the street and waited boredly for customers to come to the door.
Now in 1955, the public-private partnership has not yet begun, and the shops in Dashilan are all privately run, and the three of them have no regular jobs.
If you have a job, you will take it, and when you don't have a job, you will not be able to save a few dollars all year round, otherwise Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu would not be able to find a wife at such an old age.
Yan Jiecheng and Cai Quanwu work at the grain station, so they have work from Friday to Sunday, and they are mixed with Qiangzi from Monday to Thursday.
Even if there is a job at the grain station, they can earn at most one yuan a day, but Yan Jiecheng and Cai Quanwu have no good health and strength, and ordinary people only earn a few cents.
The three of them waited from morning to noon, during which Cai Quanwu took a trip to deliver goods to the shoe store, earning two cents that was not enough for the breakfast money for the three of them.
Through a morning of chatting with Qiangzi, Yan Jiecheng also had some understanding of the plot line of this world.
At this point in time, when the plot has not yet begun, Xu Huizhen has only just married He Yongqiang, and I don't know if she is pregnant or not, and Chen Xueru is also in a similar situation to Xu Huizhen.
After eating lunch, Yan Jiecheng said goodbye to the two, anyway, he had materials in the space, and he didn't care if he made money or not.
Just find a valid reason to get the stuff out of the space.
Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard house, looking at the pile of rags in the house and frowning, this is about to be winter, and there is not even a thick quilt for the bed at home.
I don't know how the original body has been mixed in the past few years, and the most important thing at hand now is to quickly realize the materials in the space.
The only good thing is that the state is not very strict with market management now, and Yan Jiecheng wants to take a gold bar out for some money first.
As for the rest, let's wait, thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng closed the door of the room and went directly to the pawn shop.
As for why not go to the bank, the main reason is that the banks are all state-owned now, and they have to go to the bank to exchange gold, after all, there must be a certificate issued by the unit or street office to prove the origin of the gold.
Yan Jiecheng's current composition is a poor peasant, there is no way to prove this, and it can't be said that it is the ancestral heirloom of the family.
Yan Jiecheng took out a 110-gram gold bar from the space and exchanged it for more than 200 yuan at a private pawn shop.
Now the recycling price of gold is two yuan and sixty-one grams, and the price given by a private pawn shop is one or two cents lower than that of the bank, after all, if it comes from a regular way, it is impossible to come to him to exchange it.
After exchanging the money, Yan Jiecheng's primary purpose was to change all the furnishings at home, and purchased a set of pots and pans, as well as bed sheets and quilts.
Although there is cloth and cotton in the space, it will take time to find someone to make it, so it is faster to buy ready-made ones.
After a busy afternoon, he cleaned up his cabin, and looking at the newly renovated room, Yan Jiecheng smiled with satisfaction.
As for whether the source of income will be suspected, Yan Jiecheng is not worried, how can he say that it has been six years since he came to the capital.
Moreover, the people in the courtyard all moved from other places after the liberation, and no one knew Yan Jiecheng except for Qiangzi.
Even if Qiangzi and Yan Jiecheng came from the same hometown, they are often together, but they don't know much about Yan Jiecheng's income.
Although Yan Jiecheng doesn't earn much, he still believes in saving two or three yuan a month.
After all, he was alone, he didn't even have a family, he didn't usually have any other expenses, and he didn't have much to do with the neighbors in the courtyard before.
After cleaning up the hygiene of the house, Yan Jiecheng took out food from the space to fill the noodle jar in the house, and then took out a piece of meat from the space.
The first time I came to this world, I had to treat myself to a good meal.
After looking at the wall clock, it was already past four o'clock, Yan Jiecheng began to make a fire to cook, made a bowl of braised pork, and steamed a drawer of steamed buns.
After eating, Yan Jiecheng lay on the bed and looked at the book boringly, this point was the time when the workers got off work, and Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to take out his mobile phone to play.
When Yan Jiecheng was reading a book, he remembered the voice of a strong son outside.
"Xie Cheng, hurry up, you don't want to invite us to the tavern for a drink."
Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to take the book back into the space, put on his coat and walked out.
"I said Yan Jiecheng, when did you buy the clothes, ho, or new, you don't have a long life?" Qiangzi asked in surprise when he saw Yan Jiecheng wearing a new set of clothes, and touched it with his hand as he spoke.
I feel that Yan Jiecheng is a little abnormal today Yan Jiecheng has not been willing to buy new clothes for several years ago what is wrong with today this.
"Okay, don't look at it, hurry up and don't let Brother Cai wait." Saying that, Yan Jiecheng slapped off Qiangzi's hand and walked directly towards the gate of the courtyard.
After the two and Cai Quanwu converged, they came directly to the tavern, and when Yan Jiecheng entered it, he saw the stubborn king He Yongqiang.
This person hasn't gotten together with Xu Huizhen's cousin yet, and he is still honestly working as a shopkeeper in the tavern.
It's just that the service attitude is good, just like the employees in the hotel after the public-private partnership, there is no smile when he sees people, and he has a straight face as if he owes his family.
When he came to the tavern, Cai Quanwu ordered a pound and a half of two pots and a piece of Fluttershy pickles, which cost a total of one and a half cents.
The three of them found an empty table and sat down, and the tavern was already full of people at this time, and everyone was chatting all over the world.
Yan Jiecheng thought it was quite interesting when he heard it, but this wine was almost meaningful, Yan Jiecheng only took a sip and spit it out, and then said:
"Phew, what kind of wine is this, it's mixed with water."
Everyone laughed unconsciously when they heard Yan Jiecheng's words, and even Cai Quanwu next to him pulled Yan Jiecheng and didn't let him continue.
I said, you don't just know, it's been so many years, and since we first came here, the tavern has been selling wine mixed with water." Hadron said with a smile.
"Don't talk about you, when the little devil entered Beiping, he drank wine mixed with water." The fat man at the next table said with a smile.
Hearing the voice, Yan Jiecheng looked back and saw that it was Niu Ye, but at this time, He Yongqiang, who was standing on the counter, stopped doing it, and when he heard the laughter of everyone, he thought he was laughing at him, and his face directly pulled down and said:
"That's what we sell in our tavern, and if you want to drink it, you can drink it if you don't want to, and if you want to drink it, you can go somewhere else. I still want to drink good wine for seven cents and a pound, and I don't look at your virtues."
"I said He Yongqiang, how did you open the door to do business, and you didn't let people say it, saying that your wine was mixed with water, what did you wrong?" Teacher Xu, who was drinking next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.
"You don't know how much you paid for the wine? Anyway, that's what our family sells, and we don't like to drink it." After He Yongqiang finished speaking, he tilted his head to the side, afraid of arousing public outrage and everyone joined forces to clean him up, so he didn't dig up strong.
Yan Jiecheng didn't expect that he was just a momentary gaffe and almost caused an incident, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking, but this wine mixed with water is really unpleasant, he is a little sympathetic to Xu Damao now, he said that in the last life, Yan Bugui asked Xu Damao to drink, and Xu Damao was always hiding.
The wine here is not good to drink, everyone still comes, mainly because there are many people here, everyone can chat, after all, people like to join in the fun, and people who come and go here are not mainly for drinking, but to listen to people chatting.
Anyway, wine is not expensive, only seven cents a catty, which cannot be bought in the wholesale market.
The wholesale price of the second pot head is one dollar and one catty, and it is sold for one piece and two in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
In this way, the little drunkard will not make much money even if he mixes the wine with water.
But this wine is really uncomfortable to drink, but why
Yan Jiecheng was happy to see that Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu were still drinking, could it be that these two people were used to drinking.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Yan Jiecheng definitely didn't want to drink it, so he had to pour the wine in his jug to Qiangzi and eat the pickles himself.
Not to mention that this pickle is quite delicious, Yan Jiecheng, who has watched the TV series, knows that the stone of the pickled pickles in Lao He's old man's house is heavier than ordinary stones.
The reason why his pickles are so delicious is because of this special stone.
If there is a chance, Yan Jiecheng really looks like he is looking at what this stone is, but he just doesn't know if Xu Huizhen is willing or not.
After Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi finished drinking, the three of them did not stay in the tavern for long, but went out directly and went home.
Yan Jiecheng returned home and lay on the bed thinking about the future, after all, people have no long-term worries, and if they live another life, Yan Jiecheng will not have to work for others like in the previous life.
But he can't stay at home all the time, but what are you doing, Yan Jiecheng closed his eyes and thought about things in his mind.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, forget it, it's a day, anyway, there are materials in the space, even if he doesn't have a job, he won't lack food and drink for the rest of his life.
