Chapter 167, Quests, Antiques, Yellow Eel (Ask for Subscription)
For the next two days, Zhou Jimin hid at home and did not go anywhere.
On the side of Nanluoguxiang, Yan Jiecheng should have been scared, and he didn't dare to make a small move for several days.
After all, Zhou Jimin had only come to the courtyard two days ago, and inspected the west wing of the backyard and the ear room in the middle courtyard, plus Meng Zhenhua's brothers were watching from the side, Yan Jiecheng was not interested, and he was doing things under the watchful eyes of others.
Although he and Yu Li are legitimate, if someone outside listens to the wall, even if he wants to do something, Yu Li will refuse. Besides, he's not that open.
After Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie left, they didn't come to Zhou Jimin again, and I don't know if Lao Xing had spoken, or if they hadn't investigated yet.
Zhou Jimin planned not to make a move for the time being, and wanted to wait and see what Lao Xing would do.
In addition, regarding the test of Hua Jiangdong's group of programming students, Zhou Jimin has prepared the questions and sent them over yesterday afternoon.
With the strict requirements of the computer room and the supervision of the two teachers, I believe that Hua Jiangdong and their students will definitely complete the test very seriously.
When the time comes to complete the test, he just needs to check the results.
The time of the week has not yet arrived, there is no news from Lao Lin's side, and Zhou Jimin is not in a hurry, anyway, his resignation this time is a resignation, and there is no way for the Buddha to come.
Therefore, in the past two days, no one has bothered him.
He hid in the courtyard, accompanied the little children every day, became a primary school teacher, and occasionally made a cameo appearance as a Chinese medicine teacher to assist the little goldfish in reciting Chinese medicine textbooks.
The latter is very diligent, but someone needs to push her behind her, otherwise it will be three minutes of heat, and it won't burn for long.
Actually, it's normal to think about it.
There are more than 7,000 kinds of medicinal materials, except for extremely rare medicinal materials, many common medicinal materials, which can be written in a book of dozens of pages.
Not to mention, in addition to preparing textbooks, Zhang Wantong needs to identify medicinal herbs when he gets off work in the evening, and he also needs to go out once a week to dig medicinal herbs in the mountains.
With such a heavy learning task, let alone a nine-year-old girl, even if she is an adult, she probably has to kneel.
This is much more difficult than the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation.
Under the difficult learning task, that is, the amount of food of the little goldfish is growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
It's not okay to eat a little more, because the brain consumes too much energy in the body, she is only nine years old, it is the time to grow the body, how can she do it without nutrition?
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhou Jimin accompanied the little ones to play a game of eagle catching chickens, and several Jiefang trucks suddenly came to the door.
Judging by the indentations of the tires on the road, there must have been quite a few things loaded on the car.
The old men and aunts who didn't have jobs all gathered in the shade, probing their heads to discuss, guessing what was in the car.
In the vicinity, the Zhou family is the richest and most well-known family.
In fact, according to the normal situation, the Zhou family, which often has cars parked, should not live in the vicinity.
It should be a good house a little to the south, or one of those neighborhoods where big soldiers stand guard.
Woohoo!
Wangcai and Rhubarb were loyal to their duties, squatting at the gate, and kept shouting at the other big-headed soldiers other than Lu Jingyuan.
"Leader, this is the list, please take an inventory."
Seeing Zhou Jimin walk out of the door, Lu Jingyuan smiled and respectfully handed over a list and a pen.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."
Zhou Jimin did not take the order, but opened the big truck and went directly to check inside.
Lao Lin was quite practical this time, and actually brought him two truckloads of grain, most of which were ordinary rice and half were glutinous rice.
It's all husked rice, not rice.
As far as this detail is concerned, Zhou Jimin must give Lao Lin a thumbs up.
Of course, these grains are actually too poor, just from the point of view of appearance, they are very average.
The rice of this era is uneven, and there are a lot of black impurity rice, which is completely different from the snow-white rice of later generations.
However, although the rice now does not look good, it is nutritious.
Moreover, the land that has not been polluted by science and technology is quite fertile.
Tying the bag again, Zhou Jimin groaned for a moment before jumping out of the car.
Two truckloads of grain, as well as a cart of valuable medicinal materials, these three truckloads of materials are worth a lot of money.
However, Zhou Jimin felt that Lao Lin was a good businessman, and he made a lot of money by exchanging these things for his tiger bone wine.
Tiger bone wine is certainly not only for health preservation, inhibition of virus growth and other effects, but also for beauty and longevity.
In particular, the effect of prolonging life is absolutely super anti-heaven.
Judging from the current scientific and technological means and traditional Chinese medicine technology, it is only for individual cases, and it is not as powerful as tiger bone wine at all.
"Brother Lu, let's do us a favor and move all this food to the corridor in the courtyard."
"Okay, leader."
It's also sad to say, Zhou Jimin spent money to buy such a large courtyard, but in addition to the two places of vegetable cellar and ice cellar, there is no other room for sundries.
He had been to the courtyards of Zidane and other old and young people before, but they had warehouses for storing grain, as well as vegetable cellars, ice cellars, and so on.
It is not difficult to see from here that these people, the ancestors are indeed wide.
How much grain can be stored in a granary the size of several rooms?
Moreover, like Zidane's granary, it is not only hidden, but also fireproof, waterproof and moisture-proof, which is a must.
It's like Zhou Jimin's house, where the grain was transported over, and it could only be placed in the corridor.
Fortunately, if it is temporarily put for a few days, the corridor can barely cope with it, because the corridor has an eaves, and I have to give a thumbs up to the predecessors here.
Even if it rains, as long as you cover it with a rain cloth, the food will not be affected.
Of course, in the summer in the capital, the rainfall is also worrying, so don't worry too much.
"Daddy, what is this? Why do so many GI uncles come to our house? ”
When Zhou Jimin commanded Lu Jingyuan and them to carry the grain, Zhou Qingxian and the others followed behind him, looking at them curiously.
"These are all food, these soldiers are transporting food to us, they are working so hard to help us, what should you do?"
Xiao Budian tilted his head and thought about it, then looked at his father and said:
"Dad, I know, Mom said, when you come, you are guests, and we have to boil water to make tea and entertain guests."
"Yes, little little awesome!"
The little dot who got the praise was looked at by everyone, and immediately lowered his head shyly.
"Now that you know you're going to entertain guests, why are you still here?"
Swish!
Zhou Qingxian and the three little guys immediately went to the kitchen to get busy, only the little goldfish did not move.
It didn't take long for Lu Jingyuan and the others to finally move all the food and medicinal materials back into the walk.
After they left, Zhou Jimin beckoned to the little goldfish, pointed to the medicinal herbs that had been dried and packaged, and began to assess her.
The little goldfish is called a helpless.
But she was too young to spread her wings and had to give in.
She was carefully examining the medicinal herbs, and behind her, there were all adoring little eyes.
Xing Anyao, Meng Zitong, Pan Di and Lai Di are the same age as the little goldfish.
The little friends who have been playing in the past are envious of the little goldfish's good academic performance at most, after all, she has a perfect score in every exam.
Actually, Xing Anyao and the others are not bad, and they often get full marks in the exam.
But there is no harm in comparison, since last year, after the little goldfish skipped the fourth grade, the two sisters Pandi and Laidi also skipped the grade together.
However, the little goldfish still scored full marks every time, but the two sisters of Pandi scored 95 or 98 points several times.
The gap slowly emerged.
Until now, the little goldfish began to learn Chinese medicine, and the gap widened all of a sudden.
It's not that they haven't thought about reciting those TCM textbooks together, but it's too difficult.
Looking at the thick books, they fell asleep.
As the talent of the little goldfish was excavated and the content of the recitation became more and more, Xing Anyao and the others were already numb.
However, the endorsement or something before was a small scene.
Now watching the little goldfish identify the medicinal materials one by one, and accurately say the medicinal properties, pharmacology and other knowledge of the medicinal materials, Xing Anyao and the others are only surprised.
After she recognized them all, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"What do you want to eat tonight? Big brother will do it for you, and it is guaranteed to make you have an endless aftertaste. ”
If you want to say what kind of reward, it is the favorite of the little goldfish, and the food should be able to rank first.
Especially the food made by her eldest brother, which is definitely her first choice.
"Big brother, can I eat fried chicken wings, Buddha jumping over the wall, and roast duck?"
The three delicacies that the little goldfish said made Zhou Qingxian, Meng Zitong and other children drool.
They also want to eat these delicacies.
Looking at a pair of big sparkling eyes, Zhou Jimin smiled softly and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Then they all jumped up excitedly, but Zhou Jimin suddenly said:
"Xiaoxian, what are you happy about? I only said that I would make these delicacies for your sister-in-law, but I didn't promise you. ”
Ga!
Zhou Qingxian and the others suddenly felt as if they were choked by the neck, and they were all dumbfounded.
Xing Anyao and the others also quickly showed their loss and embarrassment, but the twins, Xiao Budian and Xiao Yi, hugged their father's thighs left and right, and looked up coquettishly.
Subsequently, Zhou Qingxian and Zhou Bingliang also came over.
Even the two sisters, Pandi and Laidi, couldn't help but be tempted, looked at Zhou Jimin pitifully, and shouted with Zhou Qingxian and them, they also want to eat!
"Stop, Xiaoxian, don't shake it, you all want to eat fried chicken wings, Buddha jumping over the wall and roast duck, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
He was answered by the little cauliflowers, their neat nods and their wistful little faces.
"It's easy to eat, my sister little goldfish, she has completed so many tasks to eat the dinner I cooked."
The little children's faces suddenly became nervous, and only the little goldfish smiled easily at the scene in front of them.
Zhou Jimin smiled like a big bad wolf, and then said:
"Of course, I know that you have not studied Chinese medicine, so you must not be treated equally."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard him say:
"Well, I'll assign you some tasks that you can do, and you need to complete them, and only those who complete the tasks will be able to eat the food I cook, or else you will have a normal dinner, how about it?" Who wants to quit? ”
All shook their heads, why quit?
Because they have all eaten the food made by Zhou Jimin, it is really unforgettable.
But Zhou Jimin doesn't cook often, and even if he cooks, Buddha jumping over the wall, fried chicken wings and roast duck are not available every day.
So, as long as you eat it once, there is no one who doesn't want to eat it a second time.
Then, do what you can to enjoy these delicacies, which is too cost-effective.
"Okay, since everyone is not quitting, then I'll start assigning tasks."
"Yaoyao, the text you memorized yesterday, you will memorize it again today, and you will have to memorize all three paragraphs."
Yes?
Xing Anyao, who was the first to be assigned a task, suddenly exclaimed.
This task is so heavy.
Because she is more reluctant to endorse, it is always difficult to remember!
"Ahhhh If you don't hurry, be careful to watch everyone eat fried chicken wings at night, and you can only drool. ”
was so intimidated by Zhou Jimin, Xing Anyao immediately ran to the living room.
There was a desk in the living room, and there were their textbooks.
Since there are five rooms on the north side of the room, which have been renovated into three rooms, there are bedrooms on the left and right sides, and a living room in the middle, so the living room space is large enough. Put down their little desks, and it's no problem.
"Daddy, Daddy, it's my turn, it's my turn."
The smart Zhou Qingxian saw Xing Anyao leaving, and immediately clamored to receive the task.
Because you get the task first, you can have more time to prepare, and you can complete the task faster.
Of course, she is not the only smart child, but she has the fastest reactions.
Soon, Zhou Qingyi, Meng Zitong, and Xiaohuacai all came around, and they all muttered about the essentials.
This enthusiastic energy simply made the little goldfish on the side a little dumbfounded.
Friends love reading so much?
Nine-year-old kids, basically endorsing or writing homework, anyway, the difficulty coefficient is not high, but it is not low.
And Zhou Qingxian and the other little guys are memorizing multiplication formulas and practicing words.
Like Little Cauliflower, in fact, they have been reciting the ninety-nine multiplication formula table for a long time, but they are not very proficient.
The youngest Zhou Bingliang, his task is the simplest, when his mother comes back later, remember to say hello to his mother, beat his back or something, there is only one purpose, just make his mother happy.
Seeing that the little children all received the task, and then obediently ran to do things, Zhou Jimin smiled happily.
Although his family is very similar to a kindergarten, and it is the kind of large, medium and small classes together, he really likes this kind of life.
Because it's simple, it's very comfortable.
The little children were busy completing the task, and Zhou Jimin turned his head and went to the vegetable cellar to get the ingredients and began to prepare tonight's food.
In fact, the ingredients are taken out of the space.
Buddha jumping over the wall, he has made it many times, and he is very handy.
Even with your eyes closed, you can make this dish well.
One thing to say, the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall is really delicious.
Dried seafood takes time to soak, and now it's afternoon time, so it's best to throw it into the space to soak.
The two dishes of fried chicken wings and roast duck are labor-intensive and oil-intensive, but everything else is fine.
In the past, when I made these delicacies, I controlled them a little, and I was worried that the aroma would waft outside and irritate the neighbors.
Now, the house is full of Chinese medicine, and the taste of this thing is also strong, which masks the taste of a lot of food.
In addition, the first few times of brewing tiger bone wine, it is enough to stimulate the neighbors, and it is estimated that the neighbors are out of sight and out of mind.
In the evening of the same day, when Ding Qiunan and Zhang Wantong came back, they were first startled by the attentive Zhou Bingliang, and then aroused by the smell of food in the yard.
In order to make his mother happy, Zhou Bingliang has worked hard.
The little mouth is so sweet that it is greasy, not to mention, but also prepared a small basin for washing his face, dry towels, etc., he is a little guy who is more than a year old and less than two years old, and it is already very good to be able to do this.
Seeing his performance, Zhou Jimin gave him a thumbs up and applauded him.
"Jimin, what are you doing today? Children, why are they so positive? ”
"Do you remember what I told you about the catfish effect?"
"Huh?"
Ding Qiunan didn't forget, but he didn't understand for a while what the catfish effect had to do with the matter in front of him?
Zhang Wantong didn't understand, and showed a puzzled look, but she didn't ask, because she knew that Zhou Jimin would definitely explain clearly.
Sure enough, the two girls saw Zhou Jimin pointing to the little goldfish who was looking down at a thick textbook of basic Chinese medicine, and said:
"Well, the little goldfish is that catfish."
But he just said this, Ding Qiunan understood, but Zhang Wantong didn't understand.
As if sensing the latter's doubts, Ding Qiunan smiled lightly and explained in a low voice:
"Sister Wan Tong, the catfish effect actually means that every time the fishermen return from going to sea, most of the sardines they catch are suffocated to death and cannot be sold for a good price."
"In order to improve the survival rate of sardines, the fishermen racked their brains and finally came up with a solution: put several catfish in a tank full of sardines at the same time."
"When the catfish goes on a rampage, the originally lifeless sardines will speed up their swimming to save their lives, thus maintaining their vigorous vitality."
"The reason for the catfish effect is very simple, vitality comes from competition, pressure and challenge."
After Zhang Wantong listened, he suddenly realized.
At this time, Ding Qiunan asked about food.
When night fell, laughter and laughter came from the yard, and the children who completed the task one by one were overjoyed.
On the dining table in the living room, the food has been arranged, and it is their prize tonight.
Looking at the food on the table, Zhang Wantong smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and he was in a very happy mood.
Living in the Zhou family, no matter how much research she can get or not, at least she can enjoy the food.
Every time she came home in a free time, she felt a little hard to swallow her own food.
Because of the Zhou family's food, the mouth has been raised.
During the meal, Zhou Jimin mentioned the food and medicinal materials in the corridor, and planned to make wine tomorrow first, and then soak tiger bone wine the day after tomorrow.
Brewing wine in summer can be made in a day or two, and then steamed and purified after the wine is produced, and then you can brew tiger bone wine.
In addition, other medicinal herbs also need to be processed, so there is really no way to make tiger bone wine right away.
For his proposal, Zhang Wantong was even happier.
said that she would also ask for leave to stay at home tomorrow to help, and even encouraged Ding Qiunan to ask for leave as well.
It's not to avoid suspicion, but to have Ding Qiunan by her side, so that she can observe and follow up Ding Qiunan's situation.
For her research, it can be said that she sacrificed a lot, and even proposed to sleep with Ding Qiunan before.
It's just that this proposal was rejected by Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan.
Both couples cherish their time together and don't want to go back to the days when they were alone in their empty rooms.
What's more, if you are still under the same roof, but you can't sleep together, you must not be happy.
When Ding Qiunan heard this, he did not shirk and happily accepted the proposal.
Anyway, it's not the first time she's asked for leave, so to speak, in the entire Union Hospital, she has asked for the most leave.
With the help of the two of them, Zhou Jimin was also very happy.
That night, after Ding Qiunan was asleep, he walked out of the bedroom, came to the corridor, and took back all the food and medicinal materials sent by Lao Lin to the space.
A few minutes later, all the food and medicinal herbs reappeared in the hallway.
It's just that the food and medicinal herbs in the sack have been replaced with high-quality products in the space.
Only the tiger bone wine produced in the space is of the highest quality.
In addition, Zhou Jimin also came to the well at home and poured two buckets of space spring water into it.
It may be a bit wasteful, but there really is no way.
Tomorrow we will have to make sake, and we will definitely have to draw water from the well to make sake.
If there is no space spring water to dilute it, the wine brewed will be better than the wine outside.
But the wine made from the water diluted with the space spring water can be several grades higher.
Maybe Zhou Jimin can do it in one step, directly brew the tiger bone wine in the space, and then mix it with the tiger bone wine brewed in the real world, isn't it over?
Hehe, others are not stupid, and the quality between the two is much worse.
Besides, the tiger bone wine brewed in the real world has a very average aroma and so on, which is far inferior to the tiger bone wine in the space.
Ding Qiunan and the others can also find the difference, and Lao Lin is even more so.
If the tiger bone wine that Zhou Jimin took out for the first time was an ordinary tiger bone wine brewed in the real world, Lao Lin and the others would not remember this taste, and they would not have such a good effect.
In the night, after Zhou Jimin poured the space spring water into the well, he turned around and left.
He didn't notice that at the bottom of the well, a golden creature was playing in the water, and drank all the spatial spring water into his stomach without leaking.
When it finished drinking, a small head poked out of its head, and its eyes were fixed on the mouth of the well.
It seems that he still longs to continue to cast some space spring water down.
But it waited for a long time, let out a dragon's roar in disappointment, and then plunged into the water and disappeared.
However, its voice was so loud that there was no echo from the well.
The silent well seemed to mock the ignorance and incompetence of the creature.
Zhou Jimin didn't know that there was a formless and massless creature hidden at the bottom of the well that could devour the spatial spring, and after he left the well, he returned to his room and continued to sleep.
In a blink of an eye, at four o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, he got up again, kissed Ding Qiunan, and after getting dressed, he walked out of the bedroom.
When I came to the next room, the four little guys on the big bed kicked the quilt again, revealing their white little bellies.
After recovering the quilt for them, Zhou Jimin closed the door, then walked around the yard before going out.
Nanluoguxiang Courtyard, here quietly, no chickens and dogs bark, because even if everyone has chickens at the door, it is also an old hen.
Climbing over the wall, Zhou Jimin gently landed on the stone slab in the courtyard, only a small sound came out, and other than that, the surroundings were very quiet.
Pushing open the door of the west wing of the backyard and entering the room, he took out the surveillance camera from the space and put a corner of the camera roof, so that he could see the whole room.
In order to conceal and not attract the attention of others, Zhou Jimin also deliberately disguised the camera.
The roof was whitewashed but yellowed, and there were cobwebs all around, making his camouflage easier.
Ordinary people won't notice this side of the roof, and he installed surveillance cameras, mainly to deal with Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, the pair of wild mandarin ducks.
In a few moments, the camera was already installed.
Looking at the roof that is no different from the original, Zhou Jimin believes that no one will be able to find out about the existence of the camera.
Now, though, there's another problem, and that's the power supply.
The wiring of the camera is connected from the roof to the wardrobe below, and then to the battery under the wardrobe.
He was holding the battery of an ordinary battery car, and the battery life of this thing was not good, but it was no problem to hold on for a day or two.
After doing these things, Zhou Jimin exited the west wing, and then crossed the wall and left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhou Jimin went to the pigeon market outside the city.
There are almost a dozen pigeon markets in Beijing, but each pigeon market is not large, and the address is often changed.
The pigeon market inside and outside the city is much the same, but the pigeon market outside the city will be more active and larger.
Riding a bicycle outside the city, Zhou Jimin dodged the patrolling armband team and accurately found the pigeon market with a different address.
This is a small forest, and there are many houses, roads, etc. nearby, which can be described as accessible and very hidden.
The nearby villagers have also benefited a lot from this pigeon market, after all, the nearby pigeon market is nearby, and many people have transported grain and other agricultural and sideline products in advance to facilitate exchange with others.
Since it is necessary to put the grain near the pigeon market, it is normal for the villagers to collect some rent by the way, right?
Otherwise, who wants to stay at the door at four or five in the morning? Isn't it nice to go back to bed and fall asleep?
Each era has a different way of survival, and in 1963, everyone was very poor, and the four walls of the family were the general status quo.
Zhou Jimin put away the bicycle, then changed his outfit, changed his image, and then stepped into the pigeon market.
He hadn't been to the pigeon market outside the city for a while, and he came here today for two purposes, one was to sell the grain sent by Lao Lin yesterday, and the other was to see if there were any other precious materials or antiques here.
It's not just the city that has antiques, it's the world of antiques outside the city.
In times of war or peace, one of the things that Chinese people like to do the most is to bury all the floating wealth of their families in the soil.
The purpose of this is very simple, either because he is afraid that his family's loser will lose all his property, or because he is afraid that he will be taken away.
The years before the founding of the People's Republic of China do not need to be repeated.
During the period before the founding of the People's Republic of China after the liberation, many people often ran outside the city, and they dragged their families and families outside the city in large carts.
There is a saying called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the Chinese people have given these four words a trick.
This is especially true for those who are in large households.
Even if the country was founded later, these people did not get out of the floating wealth outside the city, unless it was like Zidane, who really couldn't get by, they would use these floating wealth.
Even if they are old and young like Zidane, in fact, how much floating wealth they still have, only the old man in the family knows.
These old men have mastered several burial locations of floating wealth, which outsiders do not know at all. Until the moment of crisis, the old man will definitely not tell his offspring.
It is precisely because of this tradition that there are many heads of families who suddenly die or disappear, resulting in a lot of floating wealth being buried in the soil forever.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the war-torn years.
You must know that the wealth inherited from the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years is innumerable and true.
Someone once said that if the land in the capital is turned over, it may be possible to dig up another treasury revenue of the Qing Dynasty for several years.
In later generations, there were many archaeologists, demolition teams, etc., who always dug up a large amount of gold, silver, copper coins and antiques from the soil from time to time.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zhou Jimin.
The reason why he knows this is because he knows more about this era, and he understands that this era has more information that is not known to future generations.
For example, less than two minutes after he arrived at the pigeon market, he saw someone placing a few antiques on the ground, and a piece of torn paper with crooked words written on it: Ginseng more than 50 years old.
Fifty-year-old ginseng is nothing, and there are a lot of hundred-year-old and fifty-year-old ginseng in his space.
However, these antiques are the boutique things that shake the space.
There is a saying that if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers will not bloom, and you have no intention of planting willows and willows, which is what Zhou Jimin's current state is.
Before, he often visited the pigeon market, and later most of the fine antiques in the capital were all looted by him, and then he rarely encountered antiques that could make the space vibrate.
Black jade, precious old wrenches and other things, these can be classified as antiques.
Because Zhou Jimin found that simple jade can't provide energy for space, while antiques can, it means that these antiques are actually contaminated with some energy.
This energy can be called the energy of time.
Space has incredible time acceleration, space springs, cloud beads and other extraordinary abilities or items, and these things are all powered by 'antiques'.
Therefore, it is quite normal for him to come to this conclusion.
He can't scavenge antiques that can provide energy for the space, and he can't go abroad to scavenge them, and the outside of the capital is too big, and there are too many pigeon markets, so it's not easy to make a big fuss.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to open a store directly?
If he is willing to spend his time and often run to the pigeon market outside the city, it will not be without gain.
However, it is too time-consuming, and the gain may not be proportional to the effort.
How could he do such a thankless job?
"Hello comrade, these antiques are all real?"
Even though the space had already given him a hint, Zhou Jimin still squatted down quietly and asked as if he didn't understand.
The stall was set up by a gay man in a hat, in the shadows, and he couldn't see what he looked like.
"Of course it's true, a fifty-year-old ginseng for an antique, a hundred-year-old ginseng for two, Tong Su is not deceived, and there is no counteroffer."
"It's too expensive, who can afford it? And I don't know if it's true, it's pitch black, who can see it clearly? ”
Zhou Jimin muttered, not to bargain, but to the normal rhythm of buying and selling, if he was too refreshing, he might scare the other party.
When the other party heard Zhou Jimin's words, he rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and did not speak again.
Anyway, this transaction is the bait of the wisher, and he is not fooling others, and those who have the vision can naturally see that this antique is not fake.
"Can I get my hands on it?"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Jimin suddenly asked.
"Feel free!"
Although the man in the hat had an easy-going tone and didn't care, his eyes were staring at Zhou Jimin.
The antiques on the ground are all family heirlooms, and if the old man in the family is sick, how can he take them out and sell them?
Picking up antiques from the ground, Zhou Jimin can more clearly perceive the desire to devour space.
Looking at it quietly, he also took out an old-fashioned flashlight from his bosom and pointed it at the antique to examine it carefully.
The man in the hat who saw his movements couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
In this day and age, flashlights are not an unusual thing.
But it's not the average family that's willing to spend this money.
Like the Nanluoguxiang Courtyard, many of the neighbors in it go to the toilet in the dark when they get up at night.
Those who are willing to spend money can light an oil lamp at most and carry it to the toilet.
Therefore, no one likes to go out at night, first, it is inconvenient to walk, and secondly, it costs money.
Especially in winter, when you go to the toilet at night, it is solved as quickly as possible, and it will definitely not be delayed.
"Can I take a look at these three more?"
After reading the first antique, Zhou Jimin did not say anything, did not comment or lower the price, but proposed to watch the other three antiques.
There are six pieces on the ground, and there are only four antiques that Zhou Jimin wants to see.
The man in the hat snorted, and there was no more.
When Zhou Jimin was looking at the third antique, two more people came behind him.
People also came with flashlights, and with a surging fragrance, and then looked at it, it was still a pair of young people dressed up in rich and noble families.
Young people don't sleep and learn from others to go out to the pigeon market?
Zhou Jimin ignored the young man, and after taking a look, he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the antiques.
Soon, he was able to finish looking at four antiques.
However, when he put down the last antique, the young man next to him already had the two antiques he had seen before in his hands.
This man wants to rob himself?
His heart sank slightly, and Zhou Jimin was not in a hurry to speak.
But the young man next to him didn't speak, just watched over there.
Do you want to be patient?
Shaking his head, Zhou Jimin did not continue to wait, but said to the man in the hat:
"Lao Jia, I want these four antiques, they are four ginseng roots of fifty years, right?"
The latter nodded, and said with a slight joy:
"If you have 100-year-old ginseng, two will do."
He has 100 years of ginseng, but isn't it better for 50 years old?
"I didn't bring it with me, I can bother you to put it away, I'll go out and get you ginseng later, and then come back to exchange it with you, okay?"
As soon as the other party heard Zhou Jimin's words, he naturally nodded hurriedly.
But the young man on the side suddenly stopped doing it, and suddenly said:
"Comrade, I also have a crush on these two antiques of yours, please help me wrap them up, I can give you ginseng now."
When the man in the hat heard this, he looked at Zhou Jimin with an embarrassed face.
But the latter shook his head and said to the young man:
"This comrade, you pay attention to everything first-come-first-come, first-come, you cut the queue like this, isn't it rude?"
"You arrived before me, but you didn't buy it when I arrived, and besides, you didn't pay for it now, why can't you sell it to me?"
Zhou Jimin looked at the other party, then at the man in the hat, and then said:
"Okay, I'll give you these two, comrade, keep these two for me, no problem, right?"
The latter sentence is said to the man in the hat.
But Zhou Jimin's appearance of not playing cards according to the routine suddenly made the young man lose his mind.
Fortunately, the woman next to her suddenly said to Zhou Jimin:
"This comrade, you're going to give up?"
The woman's voice was soft and nice.
However, in Zhou Jimin's opinion, this deceptive method is too inferior, how can he be fooled?
Originally, when the young couple came over, he didn't notice it, but he just thought it was a coincidence.
But later, Xiao Young suddenly opened his mouth and rushed to buy antiques with him, after he backed down, Xiao Young did not complete the transaction as soon as possible, but looked at the hat man, which was not right in itself.
"Yes, I suddenly don't want it, you can buy it." Zhou Jimin stood up directly and left without any delay.
His move directly made the three men in the hat stay in place.
Chicken and egg beating again, right?
Although the pigeon market is not big, it is not small, but not many people are willing to squat down to look at the antiques of the hat man.
Besides, the exchange of ginseng for antiques discourages most people.
After all, the existence of the pigeon market itself is convenient for everyone to exchange some bills, food, etc., antiques, that is the rich people who are full of food, will want to buy antiques.
Ordinary people can't eat enough, who wants to spend all this unjust money?
Seeing that Zhou Jimin was far away, the man in the hat couldn't care so much, so he asked the young man and the woman to leave first, and at the same time hurriedly caught up.
"Comrade comrade, wait a minute, everything is easy to discuss. In this way, I still keep these four antiques for you, and you exchange four 50-year-old ginseng for it, how about it? ”
Zhou Jimin, who stopped, looked at each other with a smile and did not speak.
The man in the hat was very embarrassed, and continued to explain curtly, hoping that Zhou Jimin could continue to complete the transaction just now, regardless of his previous suspicions.
"Hehe, it's just a small deal, but you almost played tricks, why don't you continue to act? Maybe someone will be fooled. ”
In the face of Zhou Jimin's ridicule, the man in the hat smiled and said that it was just a misunderstanding.
Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, everyone knew that if Zhou Jimin really wanted those four antiques, he would not have bothered to talk to the other party.
"For the sake of your sincerity, okay, then you wait for me for a while, but when I come back, I'll have to re-check, if there's anything wrong, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."
As soon as I heard this, the hat man
Immediately overjoyed, nodded again and again, indicating that there would be no problem with casual inspection.
Zhou Jimin nodded, turned around and left.
He is not afraid of what small actions the other party will make, anyway, he has something to say first, and he wants him to suffer? Just a few of them, don't even think about it!
However, the outside of the city is not as good as the inside of the city, so you have to be more cautious.
After leaving, Zhou Jimin did not immediately walk out of the pigeon market, but went to the other side to hang out and see if there were other good things.
Not to mention, as long as you find it carefully, your luck will never be too bad.
An old man put a wooden bucket in front of him, which was actually filled with yellow eel, under the light of the flashlight, the golden, gray, cauliflower-colored yellow eel stayed in the wooden barrel, about 20 or so, and there were a lot of soil and grass roots, which was very attractive.
Although the yellow eels in the barrel did not move, when Zhou Jimin reached out to touch them, they all ran away, looking very energetic.
Obviously, this is a yellow eel that has just been caught from the field.
Seeing these yellow eels, Zhou Jimin drooled unconsciously, these are all wild yellow eels, all he can think of is eel stew, stir-fried yellow eel, braised eel, boiled, fried eel shreds in sauce, etc., these are all delicacies.
There are also the most famous dishes in Huaiyang cuisine, such as the most famous eel lake and the soft long fish.
To be honest, although he is a scientific researcher and the inventor of computers, he has never been to the Beijing Hotel or tasted a state banquet.
It's not that Lao Lin is stingy, but the task is tight, and every time he talks, he is either in the yamen of Wenjin Street or in Nanjiaozi Hutong.
Coupled with various reasons, Zhou Jimin has not been to the Beijing Hotel so far.
Of course, although he has never been to the Beijing Hotel, he has eaten a few dishes of the state banquet, well, it is the previous few meetings in the Yamen, the leaders sympathized with them, the scientific research workers, and let the chef of the state banquet cook a few home-cooked dishes, and ate them in the Yamen.
Among them, there is a dish of soft and long fish, which makes Zhou Jimin have an endless aftertaste.
Later, he also raised a lot of yellow eels in the space, but he always felt that the yellow eels raised in the space were delicious and delicious, and they were also very nutritious, but they seemed to have a different taste from the chef's cooking.
At first, he thought it was a culinary problem, but then he went to the chef with the yellow eel raised in the space.
However, the soft long fish made by the chef has a different taste than before, which makes the chef very puzzled and concludes that it is the problem of the yellow eel.
Therefore, as long as Zhou Jimin is hungry for yellow eels, he will always go to the pigeon market to buy some wild yellow eels.
After all, he can eat the yellow eel raised in the space often.
"Hello comrade, how do you sell this yellow eel?"
The barefoot old man smiled honestly, stretched out two palms, one with five fingers open, and one with only two fingers exposed, Zhou Jimin asked suspiciously, and then confirmed that it was the price of two cents and five cents a catty.
He groaned for a moment, then asked the other party to help him weigh it, and he wanted it all.
There are a lot of yellow eels in the barrel, large and small, the biggest one is not seven or eight taels, and the small ones are two or three.
It's such a waste to buy all the yellow eels that are so fat and go home to boil the oil.
"Okay, that's an exaggeration." The barefoot old man was very happy, grinned, and asked the person next to him to borrow a rod scale and a scale, and then began to weigh.
After weighing, the barefoot old man opened his mouth and asked Zhou Jimin to prepare a bag for the yellow eel, and he needed to weigh the barrel.
"Comrade, please help me fall into the basket." Zhou Jimin brought a basket, and there was a small basket in it, which was just enough to hold yellow eels.
However, the barefoot old man looked at the delicate basket and hesitated, "Comrade, your basket is so beautiful, it's not appropriate to pour it into it like this, right?" Why don't you get another one? ”
The barefoot old man, who is accustomed to frugality, is somewhat unaccustomed to Zhou Jimin's extravagant behavior.
How dirty is the yellow eel, sticky to the lake, and stained with grass stalks and soil, etc., so if you pour it directly, it will definitely stain the basket, what a waste?
The basket is woven with bamboo by Zhou Jimin in the space, and it really took a little thought, there are small animal pictures, which look very handy.
He just took it from the space, and now it was dark after all, and he didn't think too much about it.
But this thing, he can have as much as he wants, but he didn't expect the barefoot old man to not only observe carefully, but also take the initiative to mention it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly when it was dark." Zhou Jimin smiled apologetically, and then took out another cloth bag from the big basket.
Well, it's a cloth bag with a lot of patches, and it looks a little old, but it's a shabby thing he can get his hands on.
The barefoot old man smiled and poured the yellow eel from the barrel into the cloth bag, and then began to weigh the barrel.
However, after the barefoot old man finished weighing, because he wanted to lose the weight of the barrel, he was a little slow to calculate, and then the sweat came out.
Zhou Jimin didn't squeak, not that he didn't want to help, but that he couldn't help, otherwise he was kind, and the barefoot old man thought he wanted to take advantage.
Fortunately, the people next to him were still very enthusiastic to help, and quickly calculated the weight, and by the way, they also helped the barefoot old man calculate the price.
There are more than 20 yellow eels, with a total weight of more than six catties, which is only a little more than five cents a piece, which is too cost-effective.
For the barefoot old man, this transaction is also very cost-effective.
Yellow eel is not as good as pork, although it is very supplemental, but it is generally bought by pregnant women, sick elderly and children at home, otherwise, ordinary families will not buy it.
Originally, the barefoot old man was mentally prepared not to sell today, but he didn't expect that he would sell it after waiting for more than half an hour.
Watching the barefoot old man leave, Zhou Jimin also carried a big basket and turned around and walked out of the pigeon market.
The time delayed just now, I believe that the hat man who sold antiques must be in a hurry.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he still left the pigeon market first to make a show and buy the antiques back, which is the right way.
More than ten minutes later, Zhou Jimin, who had gone and returned, came to the hat man's booth again, and the hat man immediately stood up happily.
"Comrade, you can count it back, look, the four antiques you want are still here, you can check it to make sure that there is no drop."
Looking at the other party's anxious explanation, Zhou Jimin smiled coldly in his heart, even if he dropped the bag, he was not afraid, as long as he was still in the pigeon market, he didn't believe that he couldn't find it.
Of course, the other party didn't do this, and he didn't bother to care, and it was his goal to complete the transaction smoothly.
After a while, after checking it again, Zhou Jimin pocketed the four antiques.
At the same time, he also gave four 50-year-old ginseng to the other party.
After the man in the hat saw the ginseng, he looked at it carefully, and then ended the transaction happily.
Leaving the hat man's booth, Zhou Jimin continued to wander happily.
I was so lucky to visit the pigeon market today, I harvested yellow eels and antiques, and half of today's task was completed.
As for the food in the space, there is no hurry.
Thinking of this, he walked around the pigeon market several times to make sure that he did not miss anything he wanted.
Surprisingly, he also saw that someone was actually selling books, and he consulted, and the person said that the books were all solitary books or biographies of the wild history of the previous dynasty, which were of great value.
The yellowing of books really makes many people have no desire to buy them.
Zhou Jimin was patient, squatted down and read for a while, before he fell in love with one of the books.
PS: Is there a commuter pass?
