In addition to the previous four things, there is also an important thing to find a more stable backer.

For example, the social status of the new school such as Teacher Shen and Teacher Song is very high, and the officials of this era have to nod respectfully when they see the teachers.

The most classic person who can reflect the status of teachers in the Republic of China is a university president, named Liu Wendian, who can be described as a household name, and many people in later generations have heard his words:

"From ancient times to the present, there are two and a half people who really understand "Zhuangzi". One is Zhuangzi himself, the other is me Liu Wendian, and the remaining half is other people who study "Zhuangzi"! ”

Liu Wendian's most famous thing is that when the Southwest Associated University was bombed by the East in 1943, he scolded Shen Congwen for fleeing for his life while fleeing for his life.

But he also did something even more powerful: he retreated after beating Lao Jiang, which sounds magical, but the reality is like this.

In 1928, when the Chiang dynasty was in its prime, Liu Wendian had a conflict with the proud old Jiang, and after the two scolded each other, Lao Jiang said that Liu Wendian was a new scholar, and Liu Wendian said that Lao Jiang was a new warlord.

So the two began to beat each other, Lao Jiang slapped others twice, Liu Wendian was not cowardly, and directly kicked Lao Jiang's stomach in front of many people.

If it were an ordinary person to do this, he would definitely have been shot ten times, but then this matter was over, and with the support of all parties in the academic community, Liu Wendian was directly released after a few days in prison.

In short, if you can find a way to get the whole "master and apprentice" status with the teachers of the new school, you can be regarded as a big backer, and there will be a lot less constraints on everything you do.

Bao Guowei's situation has improved a lot compared to before, but there is still work to be done to achieve the class jump.

However, there is actually a simpler and faster way: to be a son-in-law.

Bao Guowei's current image is enough to try to eat soft rice, but if he doesn't learn the skill of the dragon king's crooked mouth, his life may be more aggrieved.

But who is Bao Guowei? How can a husband eat soft rice? Let's serve it quickly.

Then take stock of your current interpersonal relationships: the young master of the Chu family, the Qin family who was bluffed, and Zhang Siwu of the Qing Gang, and the rest of the subordinates such as Hu Da, Li Damiang, and Wang Damiang are not counted.

At present, the only hard relationship is Zhang Siwu, who was recommended by himself, probably because of his own ability, and because of the Chu family's relationship, he has been mentioned as the group leader, and his subordinates can manage at least a few people.

It's pretty good.

At present, the value of the gold mine of the new school has not been mined, and it can be mined slowly in the future.

The future is promising.

……

Guo Chun was followed by a group of people such as Gong Deming and Ponsir, most of whom were basketball players of the Himalayan team, laughing and laughing together and walking outside the school.

Each holding skewers in their hands, bottles and cans, like a group of gangsters.

Seeing Bao Guowei walking alone on the road in front of him, Guo Chun rushed up from the crowd and patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder:

"Bao Guowei, don't you play basketball on the weekend? At the basketball court of 82nd Street in the north of the city, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the players of our Himalayan team gathered together to play, and they didn't come. ”

"Look at the time, it should work."

For the Himalayan basketball team, Bao Guowei also saw some ways: most of these repeaters are not very reliable, and there is no need to go to great lengths to make deep friends.

Most people are purely friends of wine and meat, and since ancient times, it is difficult to choose a useful friend.

It's the ones called Xu Weiye and Li Junhua, and Bao Guowei feels a little right.

Walking out of the school gate, Lao Bao's shout came, the voice was different from before, with some excitement in it:

"Bao Guowei, go home!"

……

In today's world, buying food is a major event for ordinary people, and it is a top priority, enough to gather together and discuss a major event for a long time.

There are often people from rural areas who come to sell their own harvests in exchange for some money to buy oil, salt, clothes, and other things.

The grain bought by ordinary people is divided into three grades, fine grain, bran grain, and bran wood grain.

The first-class fine grain is processed white rice or flour, and the highest-grade grain can now be bought for about 40 catties for one dollar in Gusu City.

The second class - bran grain, eat bran and drink thin bran, the skin or husk of rice and wheat seeds and other things, the price of rice bran is about 60% of wheat bran.

For the worst kind of chaff grain, the small vendors will also carry some sawdust and the like in the chaff to increase their weight, and they are always careful about weighing.

Sawdust can actually be mixed with food, but if the stomach is not good, it is easy to cause constipation, if you eat bran, with some sawdust, people with poor digestion will suffocate to death.

Half of the so-called bran vegetables come from here, sawdust, wild vegetables, mixed with bran, boiled into a paste to help digestion, but the appearance, texture, and taste are a little unsatisfactory.

There is always a strange phenomenon in the bazaar: the more people who cannot afford to buy grain, the more concerned they are about the price of grain, and they inquire every day -- ask the hawkers about it, and those who only buy a few catties of grain are not qualified to enter the grain store.

Even if you find a low price, you have to wear a torn clothes, stand in the hot summer or cold wind, grind a shriveled mouth, and cut the sky-high price at the hawker:

"It's cheaper, the family is waiting for dinner."

"I've lost my money and can't sell it."

It wasn't until it was getting late and the hawkers were ready to close their stalls that the customers had no choice but to give money, and the hawkers who came from the countryside to sell grain also had no choice but to hand over the grain - a few catties of grain.

Lao Bao used to belong to the group of small vendors in the market to buy grain, and with his salary, there is no problem in feeding two people on chewing grain, just to save more money for food to support Bao Guowei's tuition.

Today, Lao Bao didn't go to the hawker to buy grain, but went to the Li brand shop in the west of the city that he had never been to - the Qin family would never leave the matter of buying grain to a subordinate.

It's not as impatient as you're used to, and you don't have to stand until your legs hurt, and you have to wait in line to grind your mouth.

In the beautifully decorated grain store, in the kind laughter of the shopkeeper, Lao Bao got a lower price than outside.

One dollar buys thirty-one catties of rice - still fine grain without adulterants.

Now that there is a shortage of grain in the Northern Expedition, coupled with many wars in the south, the price of grain has already soared a lot, and the price of grain in the cities south of the Yangtze River is already higher than that in other places, which is really good.

After Lao Bao paid more than 40 yuan for tuition, plus what Bao Guowei gave him, a total of 74 yuan and 5 cents and 3 cents, and he bought more than 2,000 catties of grain.

And Zhang Siwu also obeyed Bao Guowei's instructions, temporarily rented a grain depot, and bought more than 200 yuan of grain with the advance from the Chu family and his own savings.

When the two truckloads of grain were transported to the south of the city and entered Lao Bao's house, Lao Bao's heart was pounding.

The volume of more than 2,000 catties of rice is actually only two or three cubic meters, but it is enough to fill the cellar of the house.

When the cellar is filled with grain, what kind of impact does it have on people?

The most intuitive embodiment is that Lao Bao's waist pole is a little stiff, there is always a smile on his face, and a grain of grain seems to be able to fill his backbone.

He closed the door of the courtyard, stayed at the mouth of the cellar after work, and opened the cellar from time to time, even now when he took Bao Guowei out of school, he was reluctant to worry about the food at home - worried.

Originally, the house could be said to be a family with four walls, and there was nothing worth stealing, but now - there are also valuable things.

The literature given by a group of friends pointed out that from 1927 to 1936, the average price of rice in Shanghai was about 6 cents per catty, considering the inflation in the middle of the Republic of China and the famine period, the low price of grain in Suzhou in 1927 was 3 cents per catty.
