Chapter 174: Stalls on Shanghai Street
After "visiting" the living room, Li Guocheng remembered to learn Cantonese.
"Ah Zhi, I want to learn Cantonese, can you be my teacher?" The other party's eyes rolled, "There is no problem, but I have to charge tuition."
"There is no problem with tuition fees".
"That, 1 hour a day, 10 yuan each time", Ah Zhi tried to quote a price.
"Okay".
Ah Zhi's palm-sized, angular little face is immediately a little distressed, and the face changes very quickly, super cute.
"Am I reporting low, do you want to be higher", she opened her mouth and came.
"Oh my god! This girl's brain circuit is Kaba", Li Guocheng thought secretly.
"Okay, 20 for you an hour".
"Wow", the little girl immediately cried out happily, but immediately hesitated. Soon, though, she began to blush herself. It seems that the brain circuit has just opened.
"Why don't you start now?" , the little girl asked tentatively.
"Okay".
The little girl happily ran to her room, and after a while ran out with a middle school textbook.
"I read a sentence, you read a sentence", looking at the happy little girl, Li Guocheng had a little urge to cover his forehead.
Then, the little girl read a sentence, and Li Guocheng followed a sentence. After reading the page, she asked Li Guocheng to repeat. It was found that he actually read from beginning to end, although some pronunciations were not accurate enough.
"Wow, Brother Long, you're so good", the little girl was very happy, she didn't expect that her teaching ability was so strong.
Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed, and a book that was not thick had been read from the beginning.
The little girl looked at the last page, as if she had woken up to something, and her mouth was deflated, which perfectly interpreted the idiom of wanting to cry without tears.
"Overtime, I'll give you 40 Hong Kong dollars".
Hearing the 40 Hong Kong dollars, the little girl was happy again. With a roll of his eyes, "We are only reading roughly today, and we will correct the pronunciation page by page in the future."
After speaking, she praised her wisdom in her heart. The right hand can't help but clench into a fist and make a cheering motion.
Suddenly serious again, "That's all for today." Remember, you are not allowed to approach this door", her rich expression was only bared teeth.
"That, Miss Azhi, what should I do when I get up at night."
"What?"
Looking at her puzzled expression, Li Guocheng explained: "It's to go to the toilet."
"There are two public toilets outside, but it is recommended that you buy your own toilet," advises Ms. Zhi.
"You go out of the building and turn left, pass by 2 alleys, and then turn right... Forget it, I'll take you there", the little girl is now neat and tidy.
The little girl took a flashlight, locked the door, and walked out of the building with Li Guocheng.
After walking a labyrinth, Li Guocheng came to a public toilet. After entering the small solution, Li Guocheng knew why Miss Azhi suggested that she prepare the toilet by herself.
It's really hard to say, the dry toilets in the north are all younger brothers compared to this one.
Originally, the alleys smelled of dampness, incense, charcoal, food spoilage, roasted vegetables, fishy, plastic burning, mold, and so on. This public toilet can make you doubt your lack of vocabulary.
When I go back, it's like when I come, and I am constantly greeted by people I know.
"Ah Zhi, this is a boyfriend!"
"No, little brother, I will often come to sit in the future, my sister is so gentle."
γγγγγγ
In the giggling laughter, in the fragmented thoughts of Ah Zhi's "stinky man", he returned to the living room.
"Heyββ, hurry up and go back to your house, you're so disgusting."
Looking at Ah Zhi's disgusted expression, Li Guocheng couldn't cry or laugh, turned back to his room, looked at the room with only bed boards, and reflexively plugged in the door.
Close the curtains that are fairly clean. Enter the secret realm.
Miss Ah Zhi returned to the house, looked at the 40 Hong Kong dollars in her hand, her eyes were full of little stars, eating and smiling. Thinking of the "disgusting" just now, I suddenly buried my head in the quilt and laughed.
"This mainland boy is so stupid!"
Li Guocheng, who got up the next day, went out to buy a bucket of water. This is what Ah Zhi told him yesterday, you can buy it or pick it yourself.
Carry it to his room, take out the face plate and toothbrush, wash up quickly, put the water basin into the secret realm, and then carry the bucket to the living room. I went back to the house to change into a coat, put on a thousand layers of bottoms, and left the Kowloon Walled City early in the morning based on yesterday's memory.
Of course, the name of the Kowloon Walled City was also mentioned by Miss Ah Zhi on the way to the public toilet yesterday. If it weren't for those passers-by who indiscriminately entered, Li Guocheng estimated that he would be able to inquire about the past of this walled city last night.
When he came to the bustling Shanghai Street, Li Guocheng took down a wooden stand from his body, similar to the belongings of the Tang Dynasty, a small Mazha, and inserted two statues of a man and a woman on the shelf.
The wooden shelves are carved with several traditional characters, "portrait carving".
Shanghai Street was built in 1887 as Chaguan Street, but it was renamed in 1900 and has remained in use ever since. Shanghai Street, which runs through Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok, stretches from Austin Road in the south to Lai Chi Kok Road in the north, and is the earliest commercial street in Kowloon.
Shanghai Street is located by the sea, and in the late 19th century, there was a wharf and was a hub for land and water transportation, so it attracted many people to gather and sell and buy, and until the late 70s, when the pier was demolished, Shanghai Street was a bustling prime location.
Li Kwok-cheng sits in Yau Ma Tei, near the Kowloon Walled City.
The two statues were carved on the way to escape according to the impressions of later generations, the male is Jiang Han and the female is Xia Meng. They are all influential figures in the film industry of this era.
I can't remember the specific appearance, anyway, the man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.
Li Guocheng, who was sitting on the maza, with flat eyes, wearing a coat, and a mature temperament, combined with his fairly attractive face (facial muscles have been modified), looked at it from a distance, and had a leisurely and detached taste.
If you have long hair, a proper artist.
After sitting for a morning, there were people who watched and asked, but none of them took care of the business. At noon, I ate a fish meal on the side of the street. Back at the rental house, I put down my business and put some daily necessities on the small table.
I changed into a suit, went out and came to Shanghai Street again, walked along the sidewalk, and slowly became familiar with the entire Kowloon district. In particular, I would go to the bank and ask about the interest rate and exchange rate in English.
Li Guocheng, who came from later generations, of course knew how to deal with these little people, although he didn't handle any business, and the reception lady didn't dare to be a little slow. After finishing the work, he was respectfully sent out of the door.
Through inquiry, the stock exchanges are almost all concentrated on Hong Kong Island, so there is no need to understand it for the time being.
When I returned to the Kowloon Walled City in the evening, I first came to Brother Hua's shantytown, ready to visit Brother Hua.
"Pretty boy, fresh face, there is a vacant place here", a little yellow hair looked at Li Guocheng with bright eyes, and stretched out his hand to lead to an empty shed.
Without waiting for Li Guocheng to speak, a scolding came from afar, "Rotten winter melon, go to death, this is Ah Long, Brother Hua's good brother, don't sell flour to Ah Long in the future."
Little Yellow Fur nodded and left.
Looking at the long shed, Li Guocheng frowned slightly. It was immediately relieved that even the British government in Hong Kong now legalized opium.
