Early in the morning, Wang Manyin rode a bicycle, carrying a letter of introduction from the village, and drove straight towards the direction of Yuanxi County.

The letter of introduction is very clear: I hereby introduce Comrade Wang Manyin, a villager of this village, to your place to contact the wheat varieties...... There is a stamp on the bottom.

That's right, the reason is above board, and it is necessary.

If you don't have this thing, if it's checked, it may be regarded as a blind stream.

At about half past eleven, Wang Manyin had already arrived at the county seat.

The last time I communicated with Hu Yongzhou, the other party gave an address.

He didn't dare to delay the time and went directly to visit. Then I learned that the project of the soy sauce factory had not yet been completed, and Hu Yongzhou was busy with the contractor team.

Wang Manyin paid for a box of cigarettes and successfully met Hu Yongzhou.

Seeing him coming, the other party seemed very enthusiastic: "Man Yin, you are finally here, I look forward to it every day...... What about people, didn't you say that you would bring people from the village after the autumn harvest?"

"Brother Hu, I don't know if you want someone yet, why dare you bring it directly. How many people do you need on your side?"

"As many as you want, I've collected all of them on the hundredth, and I still have two big jobs waiting to start!" Hu Yongzhou opened his mouth in high spirits.

"Not that much, there are about twenty or thirty people in our village! If you're sure, I'll go back to the village tomorrow and call someone." Wang Manyin hurriedly replied.

"Okay, you'll bring people here in the next two days. The wages are the same as everyone else's, the small workers are seven cents and five cents a day, the big workers are one and a half, the carpenters are two and a half dollars, and they are in charge of three meals, and they eat and live on the construction site."

The so-called small workers are specially carrying ash buckets to lift sand and mix lime cement. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can do it alone.

Large workers need to build walls with brick trowels, which is a type of skilled work, and the salary is naturally higher.

For Hu Yongzhou, the more manpower the better.

At present, many enterprises and units in the county have construction tasks, but there is no way to obtain employment indicators in time, so they can only turn to the underground construction team for help.

They don't hold back the origin of the workers, and as long as there are no problems with the formalities, most of them turn a blind eye.

Not to mention the former West County, even if it is a big city now. Later generations have reported that even the Academy of Sciences, airports, and electron tube factories have all completed the construction of underground construction teams. Z.br>

Wang Manyin didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Shan Chong has three meals a day, and he believes that many people in the village will crowd to sign up.

"Man Yin, what are you doing in the village? You don't look like a patient who eats in the soil, so you might as well come out and follow me. If you don't want to do a job, I'll be a foreshadower, and I'll give you sixty yuan a month. Isn't it better than in the village?"

After talking about the treatment of workers, Hu Yongzhou brought up the old matter again.

"Brother Hu, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and there is no one to take care of her at home, so I can't get out."

Wang Manyin also refused very simply.

If you just go out to do a side job and do illegal work, even if you are caught, it is not a big problem, it is nothing more than to go to the study class for half a month and a month, and then send it back to the village.

But when you are a contractor or manager, if you don't get it right, you will be sentenced to ten or eight years.

After the matter was done, Wang Manyin refused Hu Yongzhou's noon invitation and left the soy sauce factory with a bicycle. He didn't want to rush back, he had already explained to Orchid before leaving, and he might stay in the city for one night.

It is not easy to go out, and Wang Manyin plans to take this opportunity to take a bus to Huangyuan City.

Last time I heard Dong Gang mention that there is not only a thrift market in Huangyuan City, but also a pawn shop. The bicycles in Dong Gang's hands were all purchased from these two places.

After finding a place where no one was there to put the car in, he went straight to the bus station to buy a ticket.

The waiting room of the original Xixian bus station is two small bungalows, and there are several benches for people to rest. On the small blackboard in front of the ticket window, the frequency and time of the buses sent to various places are written.

From Yuanxi County to Huangyuan City, there are two shifts a day, Wang Manyin is lucky, and there will be one shift in half an hour.

There are a few people queuing up at the window to buy tickets, and listening to the accent, it should be the educated youth who cut in line.

The conductor looked at a few people and immediately asked, "

You are educated youth...... Is there a proof?"

Hearing this, the other party immediately took out the paper from his pocket.

The other party took it and looked at it twice, and handed it back again: "Your proof is not good, it must be opened by the commune."

"Why? We've inquired and the village proves that we can buy tickets."

Several people immediately became excited.

"No is no way, that's the rule."

For a while, the front of the ticket window became lively.

Wang Manyin didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to buy a bus ticket, and he would need a certificate from the commune. However, listening to the tone of the conductor, it seems that it is aimed at the educated youth, and it has nothing to do with himself.

In the midst of the noise, soon a person in charge appeared and pulled a few educated youths aside to explain.

Seeing that it was his turn, Wang Manyin hurriedly handed over the letter of introduction.

The conductor also looked suspicious and asked, "Are you from the Shibi Festival Commune?"

"It's a mile......" Wang Manyin nodded hurriedly.

Probably there is a big difference between his temperament and the educated youth, and the other party did not continue to ask, and directly quoted the ticket price.

After sitting smoothly on the bus, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

This long-distance bus is converted from a truck, with the front of the truck, the body is bright red, and the upper side is covered with a roof, which is a bit weird.

The seat inside is a wooden stool, which is a bit awkward to sit on.

In particular, the driver drove fast all the way, and the vehicle kept bumping and undulating. Many people were directly stunned and vomited.

Wang Manyin was better, but when he got out of the car, he felt as if he was about to fall apart.

Most of the predecessors were wandering around Yuanxi County, and they had never been to Huangyuan City before. So for Wang Manyin, everything in front of him feels very fresh.

However, after walking some distance along the road, his mood has completely returned to calm. In fact, there is nothing to see in Huangyuan City in this era, and there are also low-rise bungalows on both sides, which are nothing more than a few more streets than the original western county town.

Only on the main street of the city center can you see the scattered two-storey buildings.

The tallest building is the four-story Huangyuan Hotel, which is also the most dazzling place in the entire Huangyuan City.

Wang Manyin didn't plan to go in and enjoy it, and after finding a small restaurant on the side of the road to fill his stomach, he stopped someone to ask for the location of the consignment store.

The consignment shop, to put it bluntly, was the pawnshop in the past, but now it is collectively owned.

Some people who are in a hurry to use the money can sell things directly to the consignment store, so that the price is relatively low. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can entrust it to be sold in the store.

After the item is sold, pay the store a certain fee.

Of course, today's consignment stores are honest.

Everything in it is clearly priced, and Tong Su is not deceived. And it's basically true, and it won't trick people into abduction, unless the clerk looks away for himself.

Wang Manyin recalled that he had read an article about the consignment store on the Internet in later generations, and several examples were impressive.

Among them, it is mentioned that there is an old man who sells a camera, and the clerk accepts it for 80 yuan. When I was reviewing the price of the goods in the evening, a knowledgeable master in the commission store noticed that the money was too little, so he re-evaluated.

Later, the consignment store found the old man through the information left and made up the difference of fifty yuan.

There is also a consignment store to buy a broken table clock, and when the master opened it for repair, he found that there was a lump of banknotes hidden inside, and immediately notified the seller to come and claim it.

I don't know if these examples are true or not, but they can also show that people trust consignment stores.

This consignment store looked small from the outside, and after entering, Wang Manyin found that the area was not small.

At the entrance of a long wooden glass counter, a few clerks in tunics stood inside, and a few customers were picking out products.

Wang Manyin glanced at it, only to find that the consignment store was no different from the grocery store. From clothes, shoes, and socks to everyday items such as watches, phonographs, and bicycles, you can find them at the consignment store.

In addition, there are various jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings on the glass counter...... Even, he's still there

A leopard skin of money is seen on the wall.

These items are numbered and the selling price is indicated on them.

The leopard skin was priced at forty dollars.

The old bicycles sold inside are also very cheap, with a price tag of fifty-five dollars. However, the body was badly painted, and even the chain sleeve and fenders were gone. Of course, let Dong Gang get it back and repair it, at least it can be sold for hundreds of yuan.

In a corner, Wang Manyin also saw a lot of hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, maybe these shapes do not meet the aesthetic habits of people now, and they have not been sold for a long time, and thick dust has fallen on them.

After seeing these furniture, Wang Manyin was very tempted, and then vetoed it.

The target is too big, and there is no way to move away alone, so let's buy some small things.

After a cursory look, Wang Manyin also came to the glass counter.

"Master, this, and this...... Take it all out, I'm going to buy it."

Once he had set his goal, he simply went for it.

"Do you want to see all this?" The first time the shopkeeper met such a buyer, he was stunned.

Even the other customers in the store looked sideways, secretly wondering where this daredevil's came from.

This is to buy literary antiques, do you think to buy radish cabbage?

"That's right, I'm in a hurry. Hurry up and take it out, I'll settle the bill and leave."

"Okay, good," the master looked at it a few times, and half-convinced that the object Wang Manyin wanted was placed on the counter.

"How much?" After a cursory inspection, Wang Manyin asked the price out loud.

"Housheng, do you really want to buy it?" The master couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Hmm,"

Wang Manyin nodded affirmatively again.

Two minutes later, he walked out of the consignment store with a few pieces of porcelain. In the pocket of the jacket, there are also two jade handles. On the wrist, there is an extra watch.

In addition, he saw that there were brand new women's nurse shoes on sale, so he bought a pair of orchids.

In fact, Wang Manyin has a lot of antique cultural relics that are tempting, and as far as the eye can see, the commission store is full of leaks. But I was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so I didn't dare to buy too much at once.

The coming day is long, and there is time in the future.

Even so, it surprised the shopkeepers.

That's why he left in a hurry.

If there is a chance, Wang Manyin wants to go to those consignment stores in big cities, and there will definitely be more opportunities.

It cost nearly 200 yuan for a trip, and the vase from one of the official kilns was 60 yuan.

However, Wang Manyin did not feel any distress. At the end of the day, money is just paper. If you can't spend it, it will always exist in the space, and there is no meaning.

It's better to replace it with an antique and invest in the future.

Just buying these by yourself now, if you put it in a few decades, you don't dare to say that you will buy a house in full in a big city, but it will definitely be no problem to make a down payment.

The reason why these things are so cheap is that there are very few people who have the ability to spend now. Even if they have spending power, many people don't dare to buy it.

Walking around the street with these things a little dazzling, Wang Manyin looked around, and hurriedly turned into the alley not far away.

He was going to find a place where no one was around, and put things into the space.

After walking a distance, Wang Manyin subconsciously turned his head to look back, and then his heart tightened.

It's not good, I'm being targeted?!

At the entrance of the alley behind him, two young men approached slowly, their hands on the front of the padded jacket and the inside of their clothes.

He wasn't sure if the other party was really eyeing him, but he didn't think about it. He immediately took a deep breath and ran wildly into the distance.

As a result, Wang Manyin had just taken a few steps forward when he heard an urgent shout from behind him.

"It's not good, I was found by this girl, hurry up and chase it."

"Stop, don't run!! Third, people ran over, hurry up and stop it!"

If you don't run, you're a fool!

After confirming that the other party was coming towards him, Wang Manyin's speed was even faster!

At the end of the day, he's still there

It's careless.

The other party should have been guarding the door of the consignment store in advance, and he may have been targeted when he entered.

Now when I go out with so many things, I make it clear that I belong to the fat sheep.

But when it came to the end, Wang Manyin didn't have time to regret it, just riveted his strength and ran wildly.

As soon as he rushed out of a side fork, he saw two young men rushing towards him.

However, the other party's speed was too slow, and Wang Manyin flashed by.

"Stop, you who step on the horse!!"

"This girl is a rabbit, she can run too well!"

Wang Manyin twisted and turned in the alley, and finally got rid of the four people behind him.

In fact, no matter what era, fights, brawls, robberies and the like will happen. Of course, the law and order in the countryside is generally better, because everyone knows each other well.

As for the current city, because of the increase in all kinds of idle people, it is easy for miscellaneous things to happen.

Sometimes, it's pediatric to move a kitchen knife.

Last time, Wang Manyin heard Liu Xiangyang say that now when they go to the county seat, they have to carry bricks in their schoolbags. When something is wrong, just smash the schoolbag over and smash people.

After running to a wall, seeing that there was no one around, Wang Manyin quickly entered the space. After putting things away, he reappeared with a flat pole on his shoulder.

He didn't dare to bring the knife out, mainly for fear that he would not be able to tell it clearly if he was discovered. And carrying a flat pole with you seems much more reasonable.

An inch long, an inch strong.

Even if you really meet four people again, you can directly pick up the flat shoulder and greet them.

As for running back now to take revenge...... Wang Manyin was not stupid and bold to such an extent.

If the porcelain doesn't touch the crockpot, you still have a good life to live, so you don't need to risk yourself.

Of course, if he was really forced into a corner, he would naturally give it a go.

When he came back to the main street, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he wasn't sure if a few people were still looking for him, he didn't plan to continue wandering around Huangyuan City, but kept going straight out of the city along the road.

Now Huangyuan City is not big, but in ten minutes, Wang Manyin has crossed the bridge and came to the hillside outside the city.

There are also a number of caves dug here, and there are scattered farmland around it.
